Support the "POLICE STATE PROTEST" and help fight authoritarianism in the USA in its many forms. |
Vdieo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6r9neE89Fg Stop the Police State http://rexcurry.net/drugdogsframe.html The USA is setting records for imprisoning people. An estimate in early 2009 was 2.3 million people.
Video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjMfckchl_s Bad dogs? http://rexcurry.net/drug-dogs-goose-creek-police-raid.html Police-state tactics were witnessed worldwide via videotape from Goose Creek High School in South Carolina, where children were forced to the floor in handcuffs and terrorized by dogs and cops with guns drawn. http://rexcurry.net/drugs-goose-creek.ram
Video http://highwire.stanford.edu/~straffin/JS1111.rm Nothing was found. Everyday and everywhere you go: You cannot buy lunch or a soda without government stealing from you (taxes). If you do not pay in cash then your socialist slave number (social security number) informs the government where you went and what you did. You slave number tracks and taxes you for life, including your jobs, income, finances, residences, movements, purchases, activities, et cetera. You are not allowed to travel (even a mile by car) unless you carry identification. The car you ride in is required to display identification. 1. The pledge of allegiance and the robotic chanting that is such an oddball feature of the USA's police state. http://rexcurry.net/pledge1.html On 06/12/06 the U.S. Senate was one vote away from passing a constitutional amendment that would criminalize desecration of the U.S. flag. If successful, it will mark the first time in 214 years that the Bill of Rights has been restricted by a constitutional amendment, and will place the United States among a select group of nations that have banned flag desecration, including Cuba, China, Iran, and Iraq under Saddam Hussein. The Pledge and the flag have inspired republican-socialists in Congress to sponsor federal laws to override private property rights and impose flag displays (as a special exception, while discriminating against all other displays) in condominiums. 2. The "Social Security" scam, its socialist slavery and Nazi numbering. Because of Social Security, every American is born into slavery, with numbers assigned to infants. It is an impoverishing scheme that tracks your home, workplace, income, finances, etc., for life and steals all the way, in the "SS" scheme (socialist slavery). Socialist Security was imposed at the height of the power of the National Socialist German Workers' Party. It was designed for a police state system of social security for the government by tracking every American's movements, residence, employment, jobs, income, and eventually all purchases and activities, including travel. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) imposes socialist security in the USSA through the Nazi numbering system today. Do not call it your "Social Security number." Be honest and call it your security number. http://rexcurry.net/SSNall.html 3. Government schools (socialist schools) that ended the unique freedom of the USA and put it on the same socialist path as every other pathetic police state. http://rexcurry.net/schoolsmain.html 4. Assembly-line searches in travel, and at government buildings and other events along with demands for identification and 'papers.' Road blocks as fishing expeditions for sobriety, or merely for driver's licenses, or anything. It is similar to checking for papers under the National Socialist German Workers Party. http://rexcurry.net/sntsmain.html 5. Pigs make dogs fish for humans. Sniffing dogs are used in government schools, on the street and elsewhere. http://rexcurry.net/drugdogsmain.html 6. The President has the legal authority to sexually torture American infants and children. Congress approves. Similarly, law Professor Marty Lederman explains: "this [subsection (ii) of the definition of 'unlawful enemy combatant'] means that if the Pentagon says you're an unlawful enemy combatant -- using whatever criteria they wish -- then as far as Congress, and U.S. law, is concerned, you are one, whether or not you have had any connection to 'hostilities' at all. Federal agents have the right to sexually torture an infant in order to make the parents "confess" to anything. 7. It is fortunate that the following man was not an infant. Maher Arar's nightmare started when he was arrested at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport because he was on a terrorist watchlist. From there the U.S. government shipped him to Jordan and onto Syria, where he was tortured and held in dungeon-like conditions for nearly a year. Turns out the Canadian isn't a terrorist, just a software engineer. 8. More short examples are at the bottom of this page. Today, the flag is a symbol of the USA's growing police state. The federal flag code is so broad and vague that most Americans do not realize that they violate the law constantly. The flag code bans the use of the flag on pins, hats, caps, bandanas, towels, bikinis, underwear, signs, patches, shirts, stickers, book covers, cell phone skins, etc. Individuals violate the law if they do almost anything with a flag besides hoist it up a pole and salute it. Francis Bellamy (the author of the pledge of allegiance) and his cousin and cohort, the author Edward Bellamy, were self-proclaimed national socialists in the U.S. who wanted the government to take over everything. They promoted "military socialism" and the straight-armed salute, and they did it 3 decades before the National Socialist German Workers' Party (Nazis). Bellamy believed that government schools with pledges and flags were needed to brainwash children to embrace nationalism, militarism, and socialism. Bellamy wanted the government to takeover everything and impose the military’s “efficiency,” as he said. It is the origin of the modern military-socialist complex. Bellamy wanted a flag over every school because he wanted to nationalize and militarize everything, including all schools, and eliminate all of the better alternatives. During Bellamy’s time the government was taking over education. Bellamy wanted government schools to ape the military. Government schools were intended to create an “industrial army” (another Bellamy phrase, and the word “army” was not metaphorical) and to help nationalize everything else. Government schools teach that the pledge was created to sell flags to schools and Francis Bellamy is described as an advertising pioneer. That is a whitewashed piece of the whole story. A better description is that Bellamy was a propaganda pioneer, comparable to Leni Riefenstahl. That is one of many reasons why Francis Bellamy and his also-famous cousin Edward Bellamy are known as the "American Hitlers" and as the first "American Nazis." http://rexcurry.net/pledge1.html |
REMOVE THE PLEDGE FROM THE FLAG REMOVE THE FLAG FROM SCHOOLS REMOVE SCHOOLS FROM GOVERNMENT No other country uses a pledge of allegiance to a flag the way the USA does, nor does any other country have laws specifying the recitation daily, in the hopes of promoting it among students in formation and in government schools on cue each day. Barbados has a national pledge that includes allegiance to "my country Barbados and to my flag," but it is not a routine part of the school day. In an interview with the New York Times, former Independent Prosecutor Kenneth Starr was asked about the bizarre practice in the USA. Starr represented the mother of the girl whose father wanted the Supreme Court to strike two words from the Pledge. When asked, "Do any other countries have a pledge of allegiance to their flags?" Starr answered, "Not to my knowledge." In the wake of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attack, many states and local school districts reinstated the daily pledge in socialist schools (government schools). As of 2004, at least 27 states had done so. No other country has a pledge of allegiance to a flag nor, worse still, a robotic chant of a socialist's pledge to brainwash children with a salute in military formation every single day upon the ring of a government bell, like Pavlov's lapdogs of the state. The "Roman salute" myth is used to cover-up the fact that government inside the U.S. promoted socialized schools, military socialism within government schools, the creation of industrial armies, and daily robotic pledges of allegiance in military formation with the infamous straight-arm salute (the Nazi salute). http://rexcurry.net/pledgesalute.html The pledge of allegiance was the origin of the salute of the National Socialist German Workers’ Party (Nazi Party) because Francis Bellamy was a self-proclaimed national socialist who promoted “military socialism” (a Bellamy term). To promote militarism, Bellamy started the pledge of allegiance with a military salute. The military salute was held for the phrase “I pledge allegiance” and then the right arm extended straight outward toward the flag for the rest of the chant. Historic photographs are linked at http://rexcurry.net/pledge1.html and at http://rexcurry.net/pledge_military.html The first description of the pledge had the palm of the hand turned upward for the straight-armed gesture. The gesture changed in use, growing into the "Heil Hitler" appearance because of the military salute (palm down) extended casually straight toward the flag. James Bailey Upham suggested to Bellamy part of the gesture (the straight-arm with the palm upward). Upham’s suggested gesture (palm up) was like saying “Here is the flag.” It was because of Bellamy’s alteration (the addition of the military salute) that the pledge evolved into the Nazi-style. Upham was also familiar with Bellamy's "military socialism" dogma because Edward Bellamy, cousin and cohort to Francis, had written of it in the international bestseller "Looking Backward" in 1888, and both Bellamys had been openly involved in the national socialism movement and the "Nationalist" magazine. Germans learned bad American behavior via old films, via WWI, and via the widespread use of the straight-arm salute by German-American groups (including the German American Bund) in the USA, that led to its adoption later by the National Socialist German Workers’ Party (Nazi Party). http://rexcurry.net/pledgebund.html Germany and the entire world is owed an apology for the horrid influence that government had inside the U.S. in promoting socialized schools, military socialism within government schools, the creation of industrial armies, and daily robotic pledges of allegiance in military formation with the infamous straight-arm salute. http://rexcurry.net/pledgeapology.html *************** Vacations are a fun time to leave the USA's police state and to avoid as many US laws as possible (but not really "breaking" the law because U.S. laws don't normally apply in foreign countries). http://rexcurry.net/trip.html It can be a fun time to leave your home state and to avoid as many home-state laws as possible in another state (whenever friends visit from New York City we fill the car with guns and take them out shooting). Another example: Cuban cigars can be bought in most foreign countries (the USA's police state prosecutes its citizens with felony charges for the peaceful non-violent vice of importing and smoking a Cuban cigar). Gambling is enjoyed (the USA's police state prosecutes its citizens with criminal charges for the peaceful non-violent vice of gambling in much of the USA and the only reason Florida has any land-based casino gambling is thank goodness for the Indians). Grand Cayman has a turtle farm where humans can handle sea turtles (the USA's police state prosecutes its citizens with felony charges for merely handling sea turtles. The USA's government nearly destroyed the Grand Cayman turtle farm). Grand Cayman serves turtle burgers and turtle fritters and turtle anyway it can be prepared (that's illegal in the U.S. and they will confiscate any jewelry or products that you purchase that are made from turtles). Mexico lets you walk on top of Mayan ruins (that is probably an arrestable offense in the USA's police state). At the Grand Canyon, the Hualapai Indians, on their reservation, will let tourists do things that might result in arrest or hassling by federal bureaucrats. ************** There is a point where a government becomes so socialistic that all cops are de facto "bad cops" because they represent the government and enforce its policies. Examples include the countries under the socialist Wholecaust (of which the Holocaust was a part): under the former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (~60 million people slaughtered); under the Peoples' Republic of China (~50 million); under the National Socialist German Workers' Party (~20 million). Under such socialistic societies there are no good cops or, if any, they must be extremely rare and able to do little. It is where "all the cops are criminals and all the sinners [are] saints" as the Rolling Stones might say. http://rexcurry.net/bad-cops-rexcurrydotnet.html There is a point where a government becomes so socialistic that all media are de facto "bad media" because they serve the government and disseminate its policies. Examples include media in the countries of the Wholecaust. In such societies, good media either does not exist or can do little. The government in the USA under Republican President George W. Bush quickly grew to be more than twice as socialistic as it was under the previous Democratic administration (in social spending alone) and the rate of growth only increased. The government under Democratic President Clinton was enormous and enormously larger than what preceded it. To learn more about the USA's growing police state see http://rexcurry.net/police-state.html If the USA's trend continues, the percentage of bad cops will increase. http://rexcurry.net/sntsguy.html Government is the largest source of crime, including the worst crimes of all time. A branch of criminology is devoted to studying the many ways that government increases crime. http://rexcurry.net/criminology-criminal-justice.html Below are links and information exploring those issues. bad cops http://www.badcops.org/ flex your rights http://www.flexyourrights.org/ police corruption http://flyservers.registerfly.com/members5/policecrime.com/police_corruption.html Learn how drug dogs are used by cops for lies, perjury and to violate rights http://rexcurry.net/drugdogsmain.html Are drug dogs used to plant drugs and frame people? http://rexcurry.net/drugdogsframe.html |
- As recently as about 100 years ago, I could have walked into any apothecary and purchased any medicine I thought I needed in any quantity I chose to buy ... without anyone's permission. - As recently as about 100 years ago, I could have visited any purveyor of arms, purchased any weapon I thought I needed, and walked down the street bearing that weapon (openly or concealed) ... without anyone's permission.1 - As recently as a little less than 100 years ago, the money I earned would have been mine and only taxed on certain expenditures (excises on alcohol, etc.). The income tax wasn't permanently imposed until 1913 (two earlier versions ran from 1862 to 1872, and then in 1894-95). Even when it was imposed, it started at a whopping 1% on income in excess of $3,000 ($64,371.21 in 2008 dollars) and topped out at 7% on income in excess of $500,000 ($10.7 million in 2008 dollars). Most Americans didn't pay income tax for decades after that, and it wasn't until WWII that the government started grabbing it from your paycheck in advance. - Aside from the Civil War, conscription and/or registration for conscription was not a feature of American governance until World War I. By mid-century it was near-universal, it continued (targeted mostly to the underclass) through Vietnam, and (with one brief break) mandatory registration to facilitate its resumption remains in effect. - The US federal government didn't outlaw polygamy in US territories until 1862, and didn't really threaten to open a can of whipass on Utah over it until 1887. While some states had marriage licensing requirements, the federal government did not establish the Uniform Marriage and Marriage License Act (presumably under the "constitutional republican framework" Holtz asserts) until 1923. Some advances in personal and civil liberties? Sure -- especially in the area of recognizing those liberties as possessed by persons of both sexes and all races (although on the latter, there have been various retrenchments, such as the Anti-Chinese Acts and the internment of the Nisei). Almost monotonic advancement? Not. Notes 1. For that matter, I could have formed an organization, armed its members, and marched it up and down the square in uniform without creating any great flap, let alone risking imprisonment. Really -- I used to have an old (1898, I think) drill manual for "Home Rifle Clubs" that I picked up at a flea market. Try doing that now. I dare you. by Thomas L.

George Orwell.....Protectionism isn't free. To the Editor, The New York Times: Sen. Sherrod Brown snarls at the notion that protectionist policies reduce freedom (Letters, March 18, 2009). Let's see. If I want to buy a pair of pants from China, armed agents from U.S. Customs stop me from doing so unless and until I fork over to them a fee that Mr. Brown and his colleagues on Capitol Hill determine I should pay for the privilege of engaging in this voluntary transaction. If I resist and try to buy my pants without paying the fee demanded by Uncle Sam's armed goons, I will be imprisoned. If I resist too adamantly, I will be shot dead. For Mr. Brown to deny that protectionism infringes people's freedom is disgraceful Orwellian newspeak. Sincerely, Donald J.

I was talking with some friends over the Christmas holiday break and they were commenting on how lucky we are that we live in a free country where we have the liberty and the opportunity to live our lives the way we want and are not controlled by the government like in other countries.
So I started thinking about a particular day of mine a couple months ago:
I woke up in the morning in my FHA (Federal Housing Administration) approved home that was built in accordance with USDOE (Department of Energy), FERC (Federal Energy Regulatory Commission), and numerous CFRs (Code of Federal Regulations).
I went to the bathroom to clean up for work. I showered with soap, shampoo and other toiletry products that have been approved for me by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) using water that meets federal EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) quality standards.
I took my morning vitamins which had to be approved by the FDA.
I went downstairs to eat breakfast foods that had to be approved by the FDA and listened to my morning radio programs which are regulated by the FCC (Federal Communication Commission).
I then got into my EPA and DOT (Dept. of Transportation) standards approved and FTC (Federal Trade Commission) regulated car and was forced by the NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) to buckle my seatbelt and put my daughter into an approved child seat. I then drove on DOT regulated roads and was forced to drive a certain speed while listening to more FCC approved programming on my radio.
I stopped for gas but there wasn’t any due to state legislated gas quality restrictions which caused a decrease in the supply of gas and also gasoline price controls that kept the price so artificially low that there was an excess demand such that it sold out as soon as it arrived.
I arrived at my DOL (Dept. of Labor) regulated and EEOC (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission) sanctioned place of employment, running on fumes, and was forced to work the first 2 hours of my 8 hour shift for the federal and state governments by giving almost 30% of my wages to the IRS and SSA (Social Security Administration) with no compensation.
At lunchtime I went with colleagues to eat and was forced to pay with the only medium of exchange the government approves that is regulated by the FRB (Federal Reserve Board): worthless fiat bank notes.
I then went to pick up my daughter from school where she’s learning a DOE (Dept. of Education) approved curriculum. I took her to an HMO (Health Maintenance Organization) approved doctor to get her HHS (Health and Human Services) mandated vaccinations that I learned she needed while watching a Disney family movie which was interrupted by an HHS PSA.
After returning to work I checked my SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) and IRS regulated investments in my now Federal Treasury owned banks to see if I’ll be able to retire someday since the SSA trust fund that I’ve been paying into for 25 years has been raided by the federal government and is now bankrupt.
That afternoon I had to catch a flight to our office in Detroit aboard an FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) approved plane operating at an FAA regulated airport.
Before boarding I had to pass through a TSA (Transportation Safety Administration) security checkpoint where I was forced to disrobe down to my shirt, pants and socks and pass through a scanning machine that saw right through my remaining clothing.
Onboard I noticed federal sky marshals with weapons so I decided to have a cocktail composed of liquor that is controlled by the ATF (Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms), as are the sky marshal’s guns.
Once sufficiently sedated with bourbon, I sat back and relaxed and thought to myself: Thank God I don’t live in a country where the government controls your life!
