In an effort to legalize treasonous actions against U.S. citizens, our Congress and the Obama Administration has acted on multiple anti-American bills to nullify the Constitution. So far, the government is winning the war to destroy our civil liberties.

In roll call fashion, after September, 11, 2001, the government has effectively repealed the Fourth Amendment (protection against illegal search and seizures), the Fifth Amendment (the right to due process of the law), and the Sixth Amendment (the right to a speedy public trial), under the guise of increased security for all American citizens.

October 7, 2012. Vicksburg. The federal government calls them FEMA Corps. But they conjure up memories of the Hitler Youth of 1930’s Germany. Regardless of their name, the Dept of Homeland Security has just graduated its first class of 231 Homeland Youth. Kids, aged 18-24 and recruited from the President’s AmeriCorp volunteers, they represent the first wave of DHS’s youth corps, designed specifically to create a full time, paid, standing army of FEMA Youth across the country.

The feds claim he’s a member of a movement that shuns government authority. But now reputed “Sovereign Citizen” Michael Chung is ready to use the court system he supposedly disavows to strike back, after he was jailed for making a death threat against a bank official.

The chief evidence was a surveillance video from a Queens Staples store the FBI claimed showed Chung faxing the threatening letter to a bank officer in August in an effort to wipe out his home-equity loan. The sender invoked his Second Amendment right to use “deadly force to protect my interests as a national citizen.” But nine witnesses — including six of Chung’s Bayside, Queens, neighbors — testified that it wasn’t him in the video. The jury took less than one hour to acquit in October.

Now, Chung is ready to wage a legal assault against the U.S. Attorney’s Office and the FBI by filing a lawsuit alleging malicious prosecution. Chung spent nearly three months in jail after prosecutors argued he was leading a “quiet war” against the government, making him unfit for bail. Chung’s attorney, Ephraim Savitt, said the Brooklyn U.S. Attorney’s office overreached in the case, which could have sent Chung to prison for up to five years. Prosecutors labeled Chung as a member of the movement, which the FBI classifies as an “extremist anti-government group.” The movement’s increasing membership believes it is separate from the U.S. and doesn’t have to answer to law enforcement, the courts or pay taxes.

October 17, 2012. Victoria, TX. Ever since Ron Paul suspended his Presidential campaign and his son Rand endorsed his opponent, Rep. Paul has fallen off the political radar. But on Saturday, Ron Paul addressed a small group of supporters in his home state of Texas. One question posed to him was about his write-in candidacy. Another asked if Mitt Romney was any better for America than Barack Obama. Speaking to the small gathering, he answered both those questions.

JOHNSON CAMPAIGN ASKS D.C. FEDERAL COURT TO INTERVENE IN PRESIDENTIAL DEBATES, CITING POLLING FALLACY

October 19, 2012, Washington, DC – Citing survey data showing former New Mexico Governor Gary Johnson has in fact achieved the narrow criteria required for inclusion in the Monday debate, earning more than 40 percent of the vote in “head-to-head” polls against President Barack Obama, the Libertarian Party nominee’s campaign today filed a complaint in Federal Court in the District of Columbia maintaining that Johnson has, in fact, met the Commission on Presidential Debates’ criteria for inclusion. The complaint asks the Court to compel the CPD to include Johnson.

“The CPD requirements say Johnson ‘must register support of at least 15 percent of the vote in five recent polls,’” Johnson campaign counsel Alicia Dearn said in a statement. “Nowhere does it say those polls must include three candidates. Indeed, the polls used by the CPD to exclude Johnson test only two candidates even though Gov. Johnson is on the ballot in 48 states. We argue that Gov. Johnson has met the specific and narrow criteria laid out by the CPD.

“Included in the two-party ‘deal’ struck by the Republicans and Democrats are the criteria by which candidates are invited to participate. As a two-term governor who is on more than enough states’ ballots to be elected in the Electoral College, the decision to exclude Gov. Johnson can only be based upon the CPD’s self-determined polling criterion — using polls that are ‘head-to-head’ surveys between Romney and Obama. Who decided that? The CPD rules do not specify the number of candidates to be tested in the poll. Using their own methodology, polls that ask voters’ preferences between the President and Gov. Johnson are equally valid, and as we have demonstrated, will show more than enough support for Gov. Johnson to meet the CPD’s arbitrary 15 percent requirement. The same would clearly be the result when Gov. Johnson is surveyed against only Gov. Romney. Nowhere does it say that only the Republican and the Democrat should be pitted against one another,” Dearn said.

“It must be repeated that the official-sounding Commission on Presidential Debates is not official at all. It is a private organization created by the Republican and Democratic Parties for the clear and admitted purpose of controlling the presidential debate process. Everything from the schedule to the participants to the water glasses on stage are determined by way of an MOU between the two parties, to the exclusion of everyone else.

Two debates have already happened, and have excluded Gov. Johnson. We can’t change that — no matter how unfair. However, the CPD has one last opportunity to do the right thing for Monday night’s debate, which we have asked them to do via a letter transmitted Thursday. However, we are not holding our breath for an answer, and have asked the Federal Court to help them do the right thing. Also, we make it clear in our complaint that this issue does not end Monday night, and that it is not just about Gov. Johnson. We are also asking for a permanent injunction to require that the CPD’s criteria be changed for future elections to correct the organization’s fundamental unfairness.
