"The

As
Canadian Senator Anne Cools succinctly put it...
sole proprietorship by gender of aggression, violence,
love or
charity is repugnant to human nature and to human intelligence.
When unreason prevails, truth is the first
casually, if not the first fatality.

Guess
who said this: The lie can only
be maintained for such time as the State can shield
the people from the political, economic and/ or military
consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important
for the State to use all of it’s powers to repress
dissent, for the TRUTH is the mortal enemy of the lie
and thus by extension the TRUTH becomes the GREATEST
enemy of the STATE.

History
indicates that a proliferation of laws is an indication
that a society is in bad health: when Parliament proceeds
to deal with all the details of our daily lives there
must inevitably be a great danger of law losing its moral
sanction.” Judge Michael Hyam |
Not
since the overthrow of the Weimar Republic have the leaders
of a major
democracy used their offices and the mass media to disseminate
invective
against millions of their own citizens. In
fact it was Adolf Hitler who urged that the state must
declare the child
to be the most precious treasure of the people and who
explained, in the
words of Rabbi Daniel Lapin, that as long as government
is perceived as
working for the benefit of children, the people happily
will endure almost
any curtailment of liberty.
Using children to tug on our eartstrings
may be not only a weakness of the
sentimental. It also may be a ploy by those cynical
and unscrupulous enough
to exploit children for their own purposes.
This is likely to be remembered as one
of the most diabolical perversions of
governmental power in our history, a time when we allowed
children to be
used and abused by fast-talking government officials
and paid for it with
our families, our social order and our constitutional
rights.

A
judge has no immunity for what he does off the bench.
Stump v. Sparkman
|
| “The
germ of destruction of our nation is in the power of the
judiciary, an irresponsible body --- working like gravity
by night and by day, gaining a little today and a little
tomorrow, and advancing its noiseless step like a thief
over the field of jurisdiction, until all shall render
powerless the checks of one branch over the other and
will become as venal and oppressive as the government
from which we separated,” Thomas
Jefferson, 1821

| On
November 2, 1800, John Adams became the first president
to move into the White House. As he was writing a letter
to his wife, he composed a beautiful prayer, which was
later engraved upon the mantel in the state dining room:
"I pray Heaven to bestow
THE BEST OF BLESSINGS ON THIS
HOUSE and All that shall hereafter Inhabit it, May none
but Honest and Wise Men ever rule under This Roof."
August 28, 1811 John Adams |
If
the government becomes a lawbreaker, it breeds contempt
for the law; it invites every man to become a law unto
himself; it invites anarchy. ...
Nothing can destroy a government more quickly than its
failure to observe its own laws, or worse, its disregard
of its own existence."
U.S. Supreme Court Justice Louis D. Brandeis, 1928
(Olmstead v. United States) |
At
the "establishment of our constitutions", the
"judiciary bodies were supposed to be the most helpless
and harmless members of the government.
Experience, however, "soon showed" in what way
"they were to become the "most dangerous";
that the
insufficiency of the means provided for "their removal
gave them a freehold and irresponsibility in office";
that "their decisions, seeming to concern individual
suitors only", pass silent and unheeded by the public
at large; that these decisions, nevertheless, become
law by precedent, "sapping, by little and little",
the "foundations of the constitution", and working
its
change by construction, before any one has perceived that,
an invisible and helpless worm has been busily
employed in consuming its substance. In truth, man is
not made to be trusted for life, if secured against all
liability to account. Thomas
Jefferson, letter to Monsieur A. Coray, Oct 31,
1823 |

time; the

the man with the right mental
attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can
help the man with the wrong mental attitude."
Thomas Jefferson |
"A
wise and frugal government, which shall restrain
men from injuring one another, which shall leave them
otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of
industry and improvement, and shall not take from the
mouth of labor and bread it has earned. This is the
sum of good government."
Thomas
Jefferson |
judiciary
independent of a king or executive alone is a good thing;
but independence of the will of the

"...it is indispensable that some provision should

& Co-Author of the Federalist Papers) |
"From
the day of the Declaration...they (the American
people) were bound by the laws of God, which they all,

| “It
is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out
how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds
could have done them better. The credit belongs to the
man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred
by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who
errs and comes short again and again; because there is
not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does
actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm,
the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause,
who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement
and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while
daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with
those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor
defeat.” Theodore
Roosevelt

“There
are more instances of the abridgment of the freedom of

And so, my fellow Americans... ask not what your country can do for you - ask

Department Censors Supreme Court Quote: "The
danger to political dissent is acute where the Government
attempts to act under so vague a concept as the power

of defining the domestic security interest, the danger
of abuse in acting to protect that interest becomes
apparent."
