Jacob Hornberger, America: a Military Nation

“It’s true that the federal government used to consist of three branches. Bu that quaint notion disintegrated when the federal government was converted to what is known as a ‘national-security state’ after World War II. Even though it was done without a constitutional amendment, that conversion effectively added a fourth branch of government to the federal government — the national-security branch, which consists of the NSA, the CIA, and the Pentagon.  The addition of that fourth branch fundamentally altered the original three-branch concept, especially because the fourth branch quickly became the most powerful branch. The reason is because ultimately government is force, and the fourth branch is where the most force was concentrated within the new, altered governmental structure.”

Jacob Hornberger: The Biggest Threat to Our Country

“Why does the Bill of Rights protect us from the federal government rather than, say,  from ISIS, terrorists, illegal immigrants, drug dealers, communists, Muslims, Iran, Syria, North Korea, Vietnam, Russia, or China?  The answer is simple: Because the federal government, not those foreign entities, is the biggest threat to our country. That’s why the Bill of Rights focuses on it rather than on foreign entities.  But here’s the kicker, the one no one (except libertarians) likes to think about: The threat that the federal government poses to the country comes primarily in the form of the troops — yes, the same troops that most everyone profusely thank for their ‘service.'”

ICE formalizes plans for courthouse abductions of foreigners

“Federal immigration authorities formalized a policy Wednesday to send deportation agents to federal, state and local courthouses to make arrests, dismissing complaints from judges and advocacy that it instills fear among crime victims, witnesses and family members. Family, friends and witnesses won’t be picked up for deportation but ICE leaves a caveat for ‘special circumstances.'”

Trump executive order keeps Guantanamo Bay military prison open

“J. Wells Dixon, a lawyer at the Center for Constitutional Rights, said that formally making it U.S. policy ‘to detain Muslims forever without charge in an offshore prison’ is ‘politically expedient but exceedingly stupid no matter how you look at it,’ except as a terrorist recruitment bonanza.”

The State of Our Union: A House Divided, Enslaved & Mired in Past Mistakes

“The list of abuses being perpetrated against the American people by their government is growing rapidly: SWAT teams crashing through doors. Militarized police shooting unarmed citizens. Traffic cops tasering old men and pregnant women for not complying fast enough with an order. Resource officers shackling children for acting like children. Citizens being jailed for growing vegetable gardens in their front yards and holding prayer services in their backyards. Drivers having their cash seized under the pretext that they might have done something wrong.  Brace yourselves. We are approaching critical mass.”

Pot Grower Demands Speedy Trial, Is Imprisoned For 6 Years Without Trial

“During his nearly seven-year pretrial incarceration, Tigano loudly and repeatedly invoked his Sixth Amendment right to a speedy trial. Because Tigano kept bringing up the Sixth Amendment, he was forced to undergo three separate court-ordered examinations to determine whether he was competent to be tried.”

ICE and Border Patrol May Be Trump’s Worst Legacy

“It’s a felony to leave water for thirsty people?  Meanwhile, ICE has run wild. They are busting parents while their kids are at school. They’re publicizing ‘sweeps’ in cities like they’re chasing down Capone or someone. And there’s a very good possibility that, in the so-called ‘sanctuary cities,’ we will see confrontations between ICE agents and local law enforcement. And now we have this latest insanity, whereby technology will be handed to an agency sliding swiftly toward a very dangerous point.”

Judge Napolitano: A Conspiracy of Silence Assaults Privacy

“Why were all members of Congress but the 22 on this committee kept in the dark about NSA and FBI lawlessness? Why didn’t the committee reveal to Congress what it claims is too shocking to discuss publicly before Congress voted on surveillance expansion? Where is the outrage that this information was known to a few in the House and kept from the remainder of Congress while it ignorantly voted to assault the right to privacy? The new law places too much power in the hands of folks who even the drafters of it have now acknowledged are inherently unworthy of this trust.”
