Early Warning Report
In politics, one of the few things you can be certain about is, those who take away your liberty are not doing it to benefit you.
I warn often about the government using the war as a pretext to tear up the Bill of Rights. Wars are always, among other things, the power junkie's excuse to become the tyranny he professes to be fighting.
A secret Department of Justice (DOJ) report recently leaked to the press gives the government's view on its legal duties in this war. It turns out, unsurprisingly, that the US government considers itself superior to the rest of mankind, and it's not required to obey any laws. When officials declare a national security emergency, the DOJ report claims, the US government is no longer bound by the Geneva Conventions, which it agreed to, or the Nuremberg decision, which it led and endorsed.
Further, asserts this report, US troops who do as they are told when directed to commit a war crime are protected by the Nazi defense of "just following orders."
I am not joking, this is as deadly serious as it gets. Ask a librarian for "What On Earth Were They Thinking?" THE ECONOMIST 19 June 04, p.31. Also, the article by Jess Bravin, WALL STREET JOURNAL, 7 June 04, p.1.
Officials have successfully spun this DOJ report as a minor facet of the torture scandal, but it is far more. The report claims that in war, the president can do anything he pleases, he "enjoys complete discretion in the exercise of his commander-in-chief role."
Never before has the US government claimed so much power.1
What keeps this from being just another political laugh is, the report was not written by politicians, it's the work of career attorneys from every branch of the armed forces - Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and Coast Guard - in consultation with attorneys in the Justice Department.
This means the fascism revealed in the report
is not a flash-in-the-pan political whim,
it is systemic, entrenched in the bureaucracy.
Benjamin Franklin was right; those who give up liberty to achieve safety will have neither. If the Geneva Conventions and Nuremberg decision are out the window, can the Constitution and Bill of Rights be far behind?
How long until they bring out the leg irons and barbed wire?
As Ronald Reagan so often warned,
"government is not the solution, it's the problem."
That goes for war and foreign policy as well as the economy.
Please also read IT CAN'T HAPPEN HERE by Sinclair Lewis. Although the novel's economics is too far left for my taste, and it uses the depression rather than a war as the "national emergency" that brings fascism to America, its insights about the way Americans have been trained to think, or not think, are as timely today as when Lewis wrote it in 1936.
As you read the fascist "Fifteen Points of Victory" in Chapter 8, ask yourself how many Americans would vote for these today. A majority, I think.
When a government has most of the guns, which Washington does, the only way to protect ourselves is to make officials unwilling - ashamed - to use them. This requires free speech and a free press, but these freedoms must be used early, before they can be taken away.
"What good fortune for governments that the people do not think."
-- Adolph Hitler
Nearly everyone in history who has seen his country slide into oppression tells essentially the same story about how he ended up in chains. He saw the warning signs, but did not speak out when he could, and then it was too late.
Clearly, the warning signs are here. Each of us has three choices. We can
(1) sit trembling with our loved ones, waiting for the jackboots on our doorsteps,
(2) get out of the country or
(3) make like Paul Revere and sound the alarm.
If you care about America, this could be your last chance to save it. I hope you will do all you can to persuade your fellow citizens to pull their heads out of the sand.
Deluge newspapers with letters to the editor.
Call radio talk shows.
Post your thoughts on the Internet.
Give speeches.
Tell your friends.
The message all Americans must receive is, anyone who lays so much as one finger on the Bill of Rights is a traitor, cut from the same cloth as Osama bin Laden. These people deserve all the scorn we can heap upon them. They must be shunned and laughed at for their so-called patriotism.
Power seekers are hyper-prestige seekers, the one thing they cannot stand is ridicule. (Who can?)
We have proof this can work. In the Great Depression, America was plunging into fascism, but thanks to Lewis, Mencken and others, and their heavy use of ridicule in works such as IT CAN'T HAPPEN HERE, catastrophe was averted. We can do it again.
If you'd like to use this article to help spread the word, you have my permission to make as many copies as you wish, by any means, and distribute them as widely as possible by any means. (It must be copied in full, word-for-word, with no changes, and contain the notice Copyright 2004 by Richard J. Maybury.)
This article is also posted on our web site, www.earlywarningreport.com so you can distribute it electronically. For links to pro-liberty web sites, I suggest www.free-market.net, it's excellent.
If you do not do anything else, please, at least warn those you care about.

1 "What on earth were they thinking?" Economist, 19 Jun 04.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"There is a systematic plan to use the concepts of war to rearrange the chess pieces on the world playing board. It has to do with the New World Order, Globlism and the attack on national sovereignty we are seeing. Occasionally, the globalists who want One World Government have to turn to war to accelerate things." - Joel Skousen
.
"Why of course the people don't want war. Why should some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece? Naturally, the common people don't want war: neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But after all it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship ... Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger."
- Hitler's right-hand man, Hermann Goering, at the Nuremberg Trials before he was sentenced to death.
.
"Homeland Security"... Gestapo style?
"An evil exists that threatens every man, woman, and child of this great nation.
We must take steps to ensure our domestic security and protect our homeland."
- Adolf Hitler, proposing the creation of the Gestapo in Nazi Germany.
.
"Beware of the words 'internal security,'
for they are the eternal cry of the oppressor."
- Voltaire
.
Ever So Gradually... Is It Happening?
"Step by step, American liberty is disappearing. Americans are being ruled, regulated, restricted, licensed, registered, directed, checked, inspected, measured, numbered, counted, rated, stamped, censured, authorized, admonished, refused, prevented, drilled, indoctrinated, monopolized, extorted, robbed, hoaxed, fined, harassed, disarmed, dishonored, fleeced, exploited, assessed, and taxed to the point of suffocation and desperation."
-Tom DeWeese
.
"The liberties of our country, the freedom of our civil Constitution, are worth defending at all hazards; and it is our duty to defend them against all attacks. We have received them as a fair inheritance from our worthy ancestors: they purchased them for us with toil and danger and expense of treasure and blood, and transmitted them to us with care and diligence. It will bring an everlasting mark of infamy on the present generation, enlightened as it is, if we should suffer them to be wrested from us by violence without a struggle, or to be cheated out of them by the artifices of false and designing men."
-- Samuel Adams
.
"Had I known that the enemy was going to use airplanes to kill on that fateful morning,
I would have done everything in my power to protect the American people."
- Lying Monkey Boy Bush, chimp off the old block
.
"Will the peons of America, the shirtless ones, the common folk,
be cursed by failing to somehow stop the rise of America's Hitler?"
- Sherman H. Skolnick -- Taken from "Bush White House Created Violence"
.
.
"We are a discreet sheep; we wait to see how the drove is going,
and then we go with the drove." - Mark Twain
.
In America, the criminally insane rule and the rest of us,
or the vast majority of the rest of us, either do not care, do not know,
or are distracted and properly brainwashed into acquiescence."
- Kurt Nimmo -- Taken from http://www.counterpunch.org/nimmo06172004.html
.
No one in public life has the courage to explain how those people who died when New York City skyscrapers collapsed were killed by plans concocted by the same people who seek your votes on election day, and still talk about freedom and justice while they pocket checks from large corporations intent on profiting from rebuilding the faraway cities we reduce to rubble."
- John Kaminski - Taken from "'Power Hour' blocks Kaminski at last minute"

If you're new to the list and have had it with all the bureaucrats, mediacrats, educrats, medicrats and other autocratic minions of the power elite plutocrats, welcome aboard! It's open season here on the power elite sycophants who sabotage our sovereignty for a fraction of Big Brother's action. But this too shall pass, neutralized by the Power of Love, as the worldwide web of light and Morphegenic grid of Earth enters the Photon Belt's Galactic nexus and awakens our DNA with the higher frequencies of divine Aquarian Love and the Geometrized Blueprint for a Golden Age.

May divine "gumption" be with you as you contemplate the words of the Ascended Forest Gump: "Christhood is what Christhood does." So "Feed My Sheep" - Network these posts freely with those you love. -Christos
