The U.S. Police State and the Irrelevancy of the Constitution

The U.S. Constitution is a thing of the past - it is time to admit that.

However, I have a sinking feeling that the Constitution must be "lost" in order for the U.S. to sink into irrelevancy as we approach the Tribulation.

U.S. Police State Begins Exponential Expansion

The recent Indiana Supreme Court ruling against the US Constitution, rendering the Fourth Amendment null and void in that State by patently leftist activist judges, is only the latest unconscionable step in a series of actions designed to unravel each and every portion of the Bill of Rights.

Soon US citizens will have no rights—whatsoever—unless they are doled out by the USSA Meneur or Commandant du jour. Currently, that is the Obama/Soros syndicate which is now acting as the US‘ Dictator-and-agitator-in-chief.

As one of the first US States to pass a police-state bill, Massachusetts’ reputation as ‘all Communist all the time’ shines like a bright penny. Passing its Storm-Trooper bill (aka Massachusetts’ ‘Pandemic Act of 2009’—st02028), under the guise of some pandemic or any to be determined “suspicious event” that State requires:

Then, on lines 351-360 of Section 95 it states that whenever the appropriate authorities determine there is a “disease or condition dangerous to the public health” the “owner or occupier of the premises” MUST permit entry and “the investigation of the premises”

No Fourth Amendment rights for Massachusetts. And I still ask what is this “suspicious event?”


This is just one small example which exemplifies a general trend that grows worse by the day.

In the aforementioned Indiana case, Justice Steven David attempting to justify his position of eliminating the Fourth Amendment from Indiana wrote almost incomprehensibly: “We believe … a right to resist an unlawful police entry into a home is against public policy and is incompatible with modern Fourth Amendment jurisprudence,”

Their decision not only eliminates a US citizen’s right to protection—under the law—from illegal search and seizure by the government but, effectively dissolves the 1215 Magna Carta!

We are in dire trouble, America. The dangers in which we find ourselves wallowing are the ways in which our founders had warned against and anticipated and planned for with our Constitution and its Bill of Rights.


You Will Respect My Authoritah!

So demandeth the DOJ and TSA in regards to Texas’ efforts to pass HB 1937, a bill that would have made invasive pat downs by TSA agents a felony. But never fear, Texas was forced to kill the bill because they did not have enough votes to pass it. And the Chicago-style thuggery and extortion goes on and on…


That fact has extreme importance - mainly in terms of how it happened:

But it wasn’t just the lack of votes at play here. Oh no… The DOJ threatened to stop all flights in and out of Texas if the bill proceeded apace. That is the real reason there weren’t enough votes.

When you threaten to basically exile an entire state and stop their citizens from traveling, you gut the economics in that state.

So let’s see if we understand the constitutional atrocity that was just foisted on probably the bravest state in the union shall we? The DOJ just stomped all over Texas’ Tenth Amendment rights to quash their Fourth Amendment rights.

If the government can do this (and they just did), what makes you think they haven’t just skirted the entire Constitution?

Making it a founding document in name only while denying what they are doing all the while. This comes at a time when a whole slew of Fourth amendment violations are happening around the country from Indiana to Kentucky and in various other states

I don’t believe in coincidence – this is planned pure and simple. We see the government now violating all our rights on a daily basis and they are getting more and more heavy handed and brazen.


What was Texas attempting with this bill?

Previous to the federal government’s threat, the Texas legislature had considered the ramifications of the bill. More importantly, they were responding to a clear need to uphold the Fourth Amendment and ensure that each person enjoys the right “to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures” — a right which the U.S. Constitution mandates “shall not be violated.”

You’ll no doubt remember a former Miss USA from Texas tearfully recalling how she was molested at an airport by the TSA. She isn’t the only one. There are also cases in Texas that include incidents with children, even babies. And the list could go on and on. Many people no longer fly at all because of the harassment and physical violations. But the government devil wants his pound of flesh and for all Americans to submit on bended knee to their authority, including Texans. Or else.


Rep. David Simpson gives proper perspective:

Rep. David Simpson’s office put forth that the DOJ had “thrown down the gauntlet” in using such stark language to oppose the bill.

“Either Texas backs off and continues to let government employees fondle innocent women, children and men as a condition of travel,” the staff wrote, “or the TSA [Transportation Safety Administration] has the authority to cancel flights or series of flights.”
“… 97 percent of people who go though the nation’s airports do not go through these offensive searches. And yet, a United States Attorney warns that flights to Texas could be shut down because TSA would not be able to ensure the safety of passengers and crew if agents could not touch genitals. Someone must make a stand against the atrocities of our government agents …”


Simpson went on to compare the struggle against the TSA to the Texas revolutionary war against Mexico:

“Gentlemen, we find ourselves at such a watershed moment today. The federal government is attempting to deprive the citizens of Texas of their constitutional rights under the Fourth Amendment of the United States Constitution and Article 1, Section 9, of the Texas Constitution. If we do not stand up for our citizens in the face of this depravation of their personal rights and dignity, who will?”


In summary:

The government is out in the open using criminal techniques to get their way, forcing compliance with physical and economic threats

I ask you Texans, where is your modern day line in the sand? For that matter, each state should answer that question. I think Americans have just about had enough. No amount of slick governmental propaganda will make this go away. It is shaping up to be one hell of a fight for our freedoms and Texas is the tip of the spear. The DOJ and TSA – well, you can go to hell, we’ll stand with Texas.


Truth Beware: The Ministry of Propaganda Begins

Exactly like the old Soviet Union - welcome to the new America:

Internet web sites, pundits, bloggers, commentators and denizens of the “alternative media” who are critical of Barack Hussein Obama beware, as you will now be “officially” in the crosshairs of the Obama White House.

As part of his 2012 re-election campaign, the Obama administration this week created an “online rapid response team” tasked specifically with quashing any Internet articles and news critical of Obama.

This team is headed by Internet guru Jesse C. LEE, 31 of Tacoma Park, Maryland, who was named the “Director of Progressive Media & Online Response.”


Are you kidding me? Is this really happening in America?

This is exactly what we saw in Nazi Germany and a Stalin led Soviet Union, and its now in America - we should absolutely call this by its more accurate name "Ministry of Propaganda".

With LEE’s hire inside of the White House Communications Department, the operation is now being officially funded by the American taxpayers.

To launch his campaign against Obama detractors and negative reports, LEE has already created an official White House Twitter account, featuring as his first tweet the image of “The Terminator” with the message “OK, turning on the White House Twitter machine that they issued me in 3…2…1…”

By design, the image sends a threatening message to anyone critical of the Obama administration and sends a signal that unfavorable reports about Obama and his reign will be dealt with much more aggressively.


The bottom line?

As Americans, we know that the right to a free press and public opposition to the ruling powers is integral to our freedom. What message is this White House sending to those who aspire to engage in a healthy debate or discussion of issues by affixing the image of “The Terminator” to its official White House Twitter account? We’d say that tactic is much more consistent with the Orwellian theme of Newspeak and its enforcement, rather than one actually committed to the truth.


More proof - this one strikes a cord in most Americans - an innocent citizen gunned down in cold blood:

Seventy-One Shots: The Death of Jose Guerena

This one is in the "read it and weep" category.

Dupnik’s SWAT team initially claimed that Guereña fired at them while they were serving a warrant — as he slept. They claimed that his bullets hit the bulletproof shield that the entry team hid behind, and that the barrage of bullets they fired back was in self-defense.

Only, Guereña never fired his weapon.

Awoken by his wife with screams that men with guns were invading his home and threatening his family, Jose Guereña armed himself with a AR-15 rifle and crouched in the hallway.

The SWAT team unloaded upon Guereña on sight. He apparently recognized the home invaders as police. He took 60 rounds, but never — as the Pima County Sheriff’s Department was forced to admit — took off his weapon’s safety as he was being killed.


How did this happen? In America?

Prejudice and bigotry?

It was, you’ll recall, a claim Dupnik made in the wake of Jared Loughner’s bloodly rampage at a “Congress in your Corner” event at a Safeway supermarket in Tucson, where six were killed and 14 others were injured — including, gravely, Rep. Gabrielle Giffords. Dupnik was attempting to blame the conservative Tea Party movement for the shooting when he made the comment. And even after it was revealed that Loughner’s few known political views had been described as “quite liberal,” and were in fact muddled at best, he refused to retract his slur.

So when Dupnik’s teams attempted a complicated four-house raid of minority families looking for drugs, perhaps bigotry and prejudice really was in play.


Details here:

Perhaps Dupnik’s officers assumed every Hispanic accused of being a drug dealer really was one, and perhaps they assumed that the tenant of a home protecting his loved ones must be a bloodthirsty cartel member waiting in ambush. Is that why they gunned down a tired, hard-working father sleeping off a night shift at the local copper mine? A Marine veteran of Iraq that had the discipline not to fire — a discipline that a trigger-happy SWAT team which has now killed three men in less than a year cannot itself exercise?

Not only has the Pima Sheriff’s Department tried to justify firing 71 shots at one man in a small hallway, hitting him (thankfully, just him) 60 times in a home where his wife and child were present.

They’ve attempted to justify their refusal to let a team of paramedics treat Guereña, who was still miraculously alive after being sprayed mercilessly with bullets.

A cynic might be tempted to suggest Dupnik’s SWAT team was waiting for the only witness to their assault to die. Considering how the Sheriff’s Department has acted since they stormed the home, a rational person might be tempted to agree.


This is what happens when the 4th Amendment is ignored.

No-knock warrants are typically used to surprise the target of raids and keep them from disposing of evidence, with possible violence from the offender cited as justification for the military-style use of heavy armor and machine guns.

Jose Guereña’s death was entirely preventable. Over-armed, over-amped law enforcement is causing far more harm to the public than other tactics and techniques possibly could.

The over-militarization of law enforcement agencies and over-use of SWAT teams is an idea that needs to be revisited in a sane society. Too many good people have been traumatized, and too many killed, under the flimsiest of circumstances.

After surviving two tours of duty in Iraq, only to lose his life in an encounter with Clarence Dupnik’s keystone cops, Jose Guereña was buried with full military honors.


But this isn't only happening in America - its a world-wide trend in loss of freedom for the average citizen:

32 Signs That The Entire World Is Being Transformed Into A Futuristic Big Brother Prison Grid

Do you want your children and grandchildren to live in a futuristic "big brother" control grid where everything they do is watched, recorded, tracked and tightly controlled? Well, that is exactly where things are headed.

We witnessed some really bad totalitarian regimes during the 20th century, but what is coming is going to be far more restrictive than any of the despots of the past ever dreamed was possible.

Today, nearly every government on earth is tightening their grip on their citizens. Paranoia has become standard operating procedure all over the planet and nobody is to be trusted.

When you read the list below, each of the 32 signs may not seem to be all that significant individually. However, when they are all taken together, they paint a truly frightening picture....


This article is worth reading. Here are just a few samples:

#1 The days of the free and open Internet are slowly coming to an end. Many nations around the world have implemented strict Internet censorship and many other nations are moving in that direction.

#3 Starting next year, all new cellphones will be required to contain a chip that will allow the president to broadcast "emergency alerts" to the cellphones whenever the president wants. Cellphone users will not be allowed to opt out of the presidential messages.

#4 The U.K. has more surveillance cameras per citizen than anywhere else in the world. In fact, according to one estimate, there are 4.8 million video cameras constantly watching every move citizens make.

#8 Today, FBI surveillance teams regularly employ warrantless GPS tracking to monitor the movements of peaceful activists - even if they are not suspected of ever committing a crime. The Obama administration is fighting in court to keep this practice legal.

#10 Federal VIPR teams are establishing a series of "internal checkpoints" all across the United States. The following is how a recent article by Paul Joseph Watson described these VIPR team activities....

The TSA has announced its intention to expand the VIPR program to include roadside inspections of commercial vehicles, setting up a network of internal checkpoints and rolling out security procedures already active in airports, bus terminals and subway stations to roads and highways across the United States.


#13 U.K. authorities are now admitting that every phone call, text message, email and website visit made by private citizens will be stored for one year and will be available for monitoring by government agencies.

#18 In Tacoma, Washington a seventh grade student was recently questioned by the Secret Service about a message that he posted on his Facebook page.

#19 According to the ACLU, state police in Michigan are using "extraction devices" to download data from the cellphones of motorists that they pull over. This is taking place even if those pulled over are not accused of doing anything wrong.

#27 A shocking document released by Wikileaks proves that high level U.S. government officials have been pushing for North American integration. According to the document, some of the goals of this integration would be to turn North America into an economic zone similar to the EU, to have one common currency for the entire continent and to have one common "security perimeter" for the entire continent.


The bottom line?

The entire globe is moving in the direction of totalitarianism. Our world is literally becoming a prison grid. Of course those in power say that we need more regulation and more control "for the good of humanity", but that has never worked out too well in the past, now has it?


But we are headed into the Tribulation, and during the tribulation era there will be no freedom for individuals - we already know that. What we are seeing now is the progressive build-up for the Tribulation; after all - the world that will exist during the Tribulation can't happen overnight, or with the flip of a switch. It must be a gradual movement over years - a movement which will reach its pinnacle during the Tribulation.

It appears that we're almost there.

Once the antichrist emerges, he will inherit a world that is already basically aligned with his vision.

With the Church removed, it will make things that much easier.

I have a funny story to share.

When I was a high school student, our lockers were searched randomly by a narcotic K-9 unit. They would also search our cars unbeknownst to us. Well, a K-9 got really excited when he sniffed my car and I was escorted by the principal to the car. When I was asked to unlock my car, the dog and the handler checked my car and then found something that looked to them like seeds. The handler held it up close to his nose, gave it a good whiff, and then asked me what it was. I looked at it and sheepishly replied that it was droppings from a field mouse that had been hiding in my car.

Just wait until the Muslims get control of this totalitarian surveillance state that clinton/bush/obama and co. --and the western european socialists, of course-- are setting up.

Scott, I somehow missed that story about Jose Guerena. How incredibly tragic! When did this happen? I don't think the article says.

gearedup, that's a funny story!

DrNo, to answer your question from the other day, I can't remember what I was posting when the blog wouldn't accept my post. Sorry. I'll pay closer attention the next time it happens... and unfortunately, I believe there WILL be a next time.

I don't see a lot about his background.

Is there any detailed info on this guy?

Gearedup - thats a pretty funny story :)

Stephen - Nothing that i see really stands out about this individual, but again, there doesn't appear to be a lot of information on him at this point anyway...

Scott >>> Yeah, you are right about
that. I have that impression also.

He is taking over on 01 JULY 2011.
It is my understanding that Sarkozy
was really pushing for him to be in
that position.

In any case, he is in a POSITION
of POWER that basically controls
43 nations. and Catherine Ashton
is NOT the right sex for the job.
The AC is a male.

A word to the wise ;-)

For whatever reason, Stephen cannot get to grips about the A/c and the Rapture.

You are quite right to try and explain it to him – we have all tried to explain it to him – but he just ignores us and carries on looking for the A/c.

It’s either that or the ‘markets’, which DrNofog and Carver have gone to great lengths, desperately trying to explain it to him. Indeed, DrNofog went sooooo far that that he nearly went into orbit. All to no avail.

Bless his heart, but that’s our Stephen, and we still love and care about him. :¬)

God bless

Hello Scott

I have now viewed the Presidents ‘Toast’.

Palace protocol is extremely rigid, many visitors get something wrong. I understand it is based upon keeping order, not just for the sake of being awkward. Palace protocol is like the ‘Highway Code’ of the Palace ‘firm’.

For some reason he wasn’t briefed properly – or just forgot! HRH did whisper to him about putting the glass down; I am certain HRH and everyone else there felt for him. We all make mistakes, usually not so publically.

As for reading from notes – so what, even HRH does that. Some of the US comments I have read about it are unwarranted. He was a foreign guest in the U.K. and made an honest mistake.

While ‘Madge’ does take protocol very seriously, as it is to demonstrate respect for everyone; it wasn't a deliberate act. Whatever his politics, they are irrelevant in this situation and I hope he will be able to laugh about it before long.

God bless
Sue

WVBORN56~ Thank you for clarifying that. My head has been spinning in many of these posts between statements like the AC and conspiracy theories :) Believe me, I have a few of my own too :) It can make the mind go in so many directions some days - ha ha..

I understand there is much out there but as confusion comes into our lives, I am always trying to seek the stable truth of God's word to guide us through the muck and stay grounded in his word,especially in these last days.

Since I am fairly new to the forum I wasn't sure what the general feeling was about the AC and these statements. I think it's going to confuse newcomers as well. Thanks for bringing some positive light back onto the scene with that topic :) Sorry, Stephen, I don't mean any ill-will towards you at all. Please know this in the true spirit of love. I just always look at many points of view and thought maybe I may have missed something. It just wasn't ringing right in my soul. So I wait and learn from all points of view for God's truth.

I am ready to stop being a visitor here in this world and go to our homeland! Talk about aliens, we are the aliens in this story. Praise be to God.

Have a blessed day all.

I think there are always some areas in which some of us will disagree. The key (as we all seem to know) is to try and enlighten via the scriptures in a brotherly/sisterly way, as opposed to academic prancing....All the folks here seem to do the former, and thats awesome.

I feel like I am still learning things and some things are simply not definitive via the scriptures (such as the relative timing of Ezekiel 38-39) and on issues like that, it is senseless to be dogmatic.

Again, I've seen virtually none of this around here - it seems like a pretty mature group and the mutual respect is realy really refreshing and encouraging.

Hi Scott~

I think everyone is doing a great job too. It just can be confusing in our lack of Gods will on our lives :) I am grateful for everyone here.

I wondered do you know anything about this secret meeting today? Just wondered if it plays a role.

Here is the link..

Scott, here's a question for you. 1 Thessalonians 4:16: For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

So will these events occur simultaneously? Or does Christ shout first, like that of an archangel (or with the archangel), the trumpet sounds, and then the dead rise?

I have pondered this verse today. : ) Whatever happens we know it will occur in a twinkling of an eye according to 1 Corinthians 15:52. I wonder too if the left behind will see us meet Christ in the air. The bible of course is silent in that respect.

Scott said...

GearedUp - I've heard several versions of this and it intrigues me as well..

David Jeremiah, for instance says that this is all one representation of a single call. In other words, several ways of saying the same thing - according to DJ (as best as I can recall)

I have also heard that the archangel is the call to the Nation of Israel, and that comes after we are called up by the "shout", and in this reference, there would be two distinct calls.

I'm really not sure - I know I'll get some audible call, and I assume we'll all recognize it for what it is when it comes (via the Holy Spirit).

It is interesting to ponder isn't it?

Scott said...

My personal feeling is that meeting in the "clouds" was stated in order to show a distinction between this "coming" and the 2nd Coming. I believe the "clouds" is a reference for greeting Jesus in the heavenly rhelm. I can't recall where I heard this, but I've heard a commentary stating that, and I remembered it because it was my feeling before hearing it.

But I have absolutely no proof at all - just a hunch :)
