    David Bass – the Washington P.R. executive charged with a federal felony for alleged drunken behavior on a flight into Washington Reagan National Airport – says he was “out of it” on allergy medication and did nothing more than demand a glass of wine.

    “They refused to serve me wine because they said I appeared drunk,” Bass told POLITICO Thursday morning as news that he’d been charged under the U.S. Patriot Act rolled through Washington.

    Bass said he wasn’t drunk on the flight, but rather had been taking Benadryl for an allergic reaction.

    “I didn’t see any reason why I couldn’t get a glass of wine,” he said. “I was extremely sleep deprived. I have a bad history of traveling south.”

    “The last thing I would ever be is a threat to anyone on a plane,” Bass said.

    Police met Bass’s flight when it landed at Reagan. In a sworn affidavit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, FBI Agent David Wiegand said that Bass had appeared drunk and abusive on the flight, demanding alcohol and refusing flight attendants’ orders to sit down.

      So, we aren’t to drink on flights now?

      The Patriot act pretty much gives police power to use anything
      we say or do against us and jail us indefinitely if they want
      without due process… get used to it… Bush started it Obama

      The same exists in Australia – only difference is, Australians have NO IDEA it exists

      RJM Reply:

      EXACTLY…I’ve thought of the same thing. THIS IS THE BEST IDEA I’VE HEARD IN TWO YEARS TO FIGHT BACK THE GLOBAL ENSLAVEMENT. Aaron Russo was on to something, If we can rally the American people to stop paying these unconstitutional taxes, government won’t be funded and neither will the federal reserve.

      Ask yourselves this, do you continue to pay for goods or services from any other industry or sector, if they’re harming you or not doing you any good? Do you continue to pay employees if they lie cheat and steal from YOUR company?

      By paying taxes, you paying for them to sit in their fancy high-life positions where they are ABOVE the law and you fund the government and the Federal reserve to continue implementing programs to control YOUR life.

      I know its far fetched, but we need to brainstorm and take action. Everyone that comes on this website and others like it needs to STOP TALKING FOR ONCE, AND START TAKING ACTION! We need to get Alex Jones to publicize it and get others in Media to follow.

      The protests of all prostests!!!!!!!! The “DON’T PAY YOUR TAXES” protest

      Obviously everyone will be forced to pay sales tax but that is ok, Do me a favor and name something that isn’t taxed?…………..That’s hard to answer isn’t it. How in the HELL did we as a Nation that represents and symbolizes Liberty, Justice, and Freedom for the Entire World allow are Constitution to be overran and kicked to the garbage can like this?

      The Reason is we are all selfish and trying to look out for what’s best for ourselves and immediate family. We are all trying to Survive by making money and working hard and going to school everyday. We are all too busy with our own lives to do anything that takes time and money to help the greater good.

      They have sucked us all into the rat race and web of involving yourself into slavery monday through friday, and some weekends too. A slavery by which you work everyday for hours and hours just to get the scraps of their wealth. Their wealth by the way which is created from paper and a printer and the letter of the Law which they enforce with city, county, state, and federal officers whom which all are FUNDED by YOUR TAXES!

      I know this is a long shot protest, but if we are to truly do anything to stand up and fight, rallying the American people to not pay taxes is the way to do it. We bankrupt the government and the Federal Reserve!

      If the numbers of participants are large enough, how in the heck can they enforce anything upon us with government officers, We are a country of 307,000,000 people, how many jails and officers and military members do they have to take down the majority of poverty, working, and middle class citizens who would choose to not pay their taxes? NOWHERE NEAR ENOUGH.

      Get the enitre nation to QUIT PAYING YOUR TAXES, for this to work we need as many people of the 307,709,681 U.S. Population to participate as possible, for if it only ends up being few that rally up and stop paying, they will all suffer and go to jail…We need to plan this wisely and get MASSIVE NUMBERS behind us for this to WORK.

      THROW OUT IDEAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      As stated above:

      They may print more money, they may try to scare everyone, but right now 3.3 million people are out a job that were in a job a year ago, that is 3.3 million less people that will pay taxes this year and the next, perhaps for a few years. But what if 200 million people didn’t pay any taxes and just let the Government fund itself into a black pit that will only bring to the changes we want, a new President, a new Congress, a who bunch of new people in the White house and it sounds easy, but people get scared and end up paying their taxes. SO if we can work on getting everyone to stop paying taxes, we can get rid of the problems by making them go broke instead.

      WebsterFromCT Reply:

      Hairless monkey its a travesty. I was on a british airways flight and not only did they charge me 8 dollars per beer (and it was trash,) they also stopped serving me after three trips. They didn’t say I could only have three beers they instead said they would only serve me three times. I didn’t try ordering 6 beers at once but next time I think I will because I was TRYING to get drunk. 8 hour flight and I cant sleep? Beer me. The worst part is that buisness class was right in front of me and I had to watch as they served them with white glove service all 8 hours. the airline industry is possibly the worst customer service industry ever.

      Rhonda Reply:

      Webster From Ct,

      I am sorry to hear about the bad time you had on your airplane flight. I wonder if I am lucky since I have never had any problems on a flight yet no matter what class I take. I am even surprised at the lack of frisking that has been done to me by either a male or female security checker since that is about the only time anyone would have access to my body so freely and I have certain assets that people generally want to feel, if you know what I mean.

      Olf Paint Reply:

      Did you see that Youtube video made by the guy whose valuable guitar was broken by United Airlines? It was great! United customer service reps were totally unresponsive to him, absolutely refused to be responsible for it, and man did they miscalculate! The guy was a professional musician and wrote and performed a great song called “United Breaks Guitars.” It went viral on Youtube and brought United to the bargaining table. Too bad that kind of thing doesn’t happen more often.

Having the Feds show up is just straight on fascism I hope people don’t fly this POS airline although they probably are all the same. :-(

      Yeah?!?! A Woman can make the choice to KILL her unborn baby, because she has the RIGHT to choose what happens to her body, but if you appear to be intoxicated, on a plain of all places, you’re put on a Terrorist Watch List? You’ll lose your job if they find drugs in your system, we don’t have the RIGHT to choose what we do with our bodies or lives, the Government tells us how to conduct ourselves! Abortions cut down on unwanted people, but drugs often lift the vail from the users eyes, now we can’t have that! I’m talking about pot, Acid, etc. not crack or meth or anything that will ruin you! Just about all the people who I’ve known, who use pot, or hallucinogens, typically see & understand the lie or the ILLUSION of liberty that the Media & Government portray. I’m not supporting habitual use of any drug, nor alcohol. I truly believe the only way to take this Country back, is to have a sharp, sober & vigilant society! I can speak from personal experience, that daily use of anything, even pot, can hamper a persons ambition, will & often good conscience. However, I can also say from personal experience, that things like pot or psychedelics, used occasionally, can open a persons eyes & mind, to things they look past every day. I believe this is why we don’t legally have this choice to make for ourselves, or our bodies! Seems more like a calculated agenda, than a public safety issue.

      As for hemp, it’s the Duponts who demonized it and made it illegal. Because they wanted to have a monopoly with their synthetic toxic soups they use in EVERYTHING! George Washington sold and SMOKED Hemp!!!

      babarishka Reply:

      That’s been my experience as well. Most people do not think outside the box. Those who partake occasionally and in moderation tend to be a little bit more, I don’t know, on the fringe of society. I’m not advocating getting blitzed everday either. However, I’ve found more radicals and free thinkers amongst musicians, artists and even bikers and old red necks than I have amongst suburban soccer moms and businessmen. That’s not a blanket statement, but that’s what I’ve seen over the years.

      The government doesn’t want us to think for ourselves. They are working overtime to control every aspect of our lives. Alex is right – this is becoming more and more like the twilight zone.

      J. Giles Reply:

      It’s funny. This guy looks kinda like my old boss. Anyway, it’s hard to make an accurate assessment of the situation without having been there. I would lean toward believing Mr. Bass, but you never know. If indeed the story is as he says, it’s another indicator of the paranoia that’s being instilled in everyone. Basically, everyone is made to look suspicious for any type of act.

      Is this the America you want to live in? Really, people need to get a grip on reality. Britain has already lost itself to “Big Brother.” They’re trying to do the same thing here. What we really need are law enforcement people who have brains, are honest, and can actually think and assess a situation accurately.

      When it’s your word against the police, unless you have major connections, it usually doesn’t work out too well.

      We can change all of this by how we vote and how we spend our money. I say cut off the globalists at the knees. They understand money and economic power, but we the people are the ones with the real power. We just don’t know how much power we have, and we certainly don’t use it properly.

      Check out this video to see how we can band together and beat the elite.

      You don’t have to refer to a misnamed act by congresses given name. You can rename any act to it’s truthful descriptive name.

      We should have a poll on what the proper name of any act should be, up for a vote or passed by congress.

The public needs a good smack down once in a while like an unruly child. How about those idiots who tore up The Burlington Coat Factory after they found out the crazy lady wasn’t really paying for their bill too? You prefer chaos?

      I’m with you Atwood. There weren’t enough laws on the books to deal with unruly drunks. Indeed, we needed a Patriot Act to reign them in. If you take away everyone’s Constitutional Rights and make them “terrorists” by definition and give them 20 years in the slammer for misbehaving, maybe they will truly realize who their betters are and not get out of line. Makes good sense to me.

Maybe it’s time to sterilize this mindless teen baby factory that keeps churning out unwanted kids for us to pay for….maybe it’s time to track every human activity because people are beyond self control….Maybe we need to protect nature from the lazy human who thinks nothing of throwing his garbage out in the park…Maybe we need to round up the unproductive & put them to work in camps….The lazy, the criminal, the stupid have brought the need for action upon all of society.

      babarishka Reply:

      Believe me, I feel your disgust. However, what one can’t forget (as someone here pointed out to me when I went off on a similar tirade to yours) is that if it weren’t for the elite scum bags, we wouldn’t have so many dumbed-down people. Humans, in general, are imperfect beings. Our veneer of civilization has always been thin – we are only a few thousand years out of the stone age. That being said, the elites have purposely engineered society with the intent of dumbing us down at best, and stripping us of our humanity at worst.

      Look at our inner cities. We’ve got generations of welfare families and more recently (recent as in the past 25 years) evermore crackheads popping out kids left and right. We’ve got gang bangers wreaking havoc on the streets (mostly contained within city boundaries but continually spreading outward).

      What can be done about this? How about using the trillions of dollars spent on useless wars and bank bailouts to truly help (financially, educationally and spiritually) the decent people who are trapped in our ghettoes, completely eliminate the gang bangers once and for all (take that as you will) and rebuild our inner cities.

      Yes, there are plenty of stupid and violent people out there. There may be many people who, in your estimation or my estimation, don’t merit breathing space (like, for example, the person that cut me off at 65 mph last year and was laughing about it as I glanced over at them a few seconds later). It is, in fact, a sophisticated question to ask, “Just who is the enemy?” Ultimately, maybe it IS us. Nevertheless, for survival sake, I think we have to focus on who the biggest enemy is. From what I can see, it truly is the NWO.

      36Atwood Reply:

      I hear you but if not for he “Elite” we would not have any of our modern conveniences either. Without the “evil elite” we would all be Amish. A lot of talk against them but only a few are willing to live the life we would have without them. Be careful what we ask for, we might just get it. No electric, no stoves, no frig, no communication, no transportation or anything we take for granted daily. I think if they wanted us gone, the deal would be sealed by now, I’ve been hearing this stuff since the mid 70’s.

      What? Explain to me, pretty please, how “the elite” gave us modern technology!

    22. Rhonda Says:

      I have an opinion on this ariticle. If the “victim” of the incident was drunk or acted like it and would not listen to the flight attendant to sit down for whatever reason, then maybe a complaint of some sort should have been filed. Since there is no indication that there was a danger to the passengers going on, then the police being brought in is overkill all by itself.

      Then again, unless there was passenger endangerment, the Patriot Act being brought in is totally uncalled for and way over the top making it exaggerated all the more by the federal police being brought into the incident. In this case, I do consider the “culprit” to be the victim as I alluded to in the previous paragraph.

      End The Fed Now,

      Except for maybe your statement in your first sentence being said with what seems to me to be only without full thought, but some, behind it, I am at a loss here. What have you said that has warranted so many naysayers against you? Everything you say seems to be for the cause of freedom and even your first sentence seems to be said more in frustration than really saying anything wrong. That part of the incident by itself makes sense as you say it, although the article’s issue is the bringing in the Patriot Act over what happened. So could you tell me what you said that has set so many people against you? I have been in Infowars for a long time and I am not aware of anything that you have done in the past to have so many people jump on you like this. That then seems as though you said something that I am missing somewhere (although I know that most guys here have females problems and they use this forum instead of me as in the past to bring out those frustrations). Tnx.

The must drag the walfare lines and skid row for their security and trust me, do expect, let alone demand anything from the God Damned Flight Attendants. Fact is, it is no longer safe to drive with the highway bandits hunting the highways for any infraction, any opportunity fine and show us who’s running this country.

      I am utterly sickend with all the crap in every direction and am working hard on sailing way.

      The goal is to have everyone on paper or in prison. That’s one way to get them under complete control and use the prison planet to their advantage. Pretty sad some illegal runs a red light drunk and kills a 4 year old girl and only gets a misdemeanor with a sentence of probation or up to 6 years in jail, but a citizen gets a felony for being drunk on a plane and can get 20 years.

      What a f-upped nation.

      Speaking of airlines.

      The Federal Aviation Administration has proposed civil penalties of $5.4 million against US Airways Group Inc. and $3.8 million for United Airlines for flying out-of-compliance jets.

      Where is the OUTRAGE in the press over this abuse of the PATRIOT act? They do not even protest when a 1st-class-flying ‘political commentator’ and Washington insider like Bass gets threatened with 20 years in prison for making ‘mean faces’ and ‘appearing drunk’.

      If nobody in the MSM-press stands up for this privileged guy, who will stand up for the average Joe when charged with being ‘a terrorist’ for some trivial matter? THIS IS CRAZY!

      Look at the lame reporting in other newspapers:

      A Washington public relations executive flying home from Houston was charged with a felony under the USA Patriot Act for drunkenly disregarding the orders of flight attendants, court filings said.

      According to a report earlier this year by the Los Angeles Times, more than 200 people have been convicted under the amended law.

      Just one more reason to avoid going into the USA.

      The security at US airports are ridiculous and demeaning. Do you really think taking off my sandals are saving anyone’s life? Give me a break!

      The only time my baggage I ever gets checked is in US customs. I travel all over the world and US customs are the worst!

      Now people are getting 20 years for making mean faces to the lords of the skies.

      USA used to be the envy of the world. How quickly things change…

      I understand the plan so I avoid flying. And if I flew I would not do or say anything because we are under attack by domestic and foreign enemies who are looking to show you that you have no constitutional protections. And they control your govenrment. We are sooo screwed. Mainly because sheeple refuse to wake up and just say NO.

      As first reported by the Washington Examiner, Bass is charged with violating a federal law that prohibits “assaulting or intimidating a flight crew member or flight attendant of the aircraft, interferes with the performance of the duties of the member or attendant or lessens the ability of the member or attendant to perform those duties, or attempts or conspires to do such an act.”

      “Almost anything people see or do that appears hostile could become a federal offense,” said Kate Hanni, director of the Coalition for Airline Passengers’ Rights. “People really need to understand that they have to have a certain level of behavior on an aircraft.”

      My truck was rear-ended by a Judge who reeked of whiskey. When the Lieutenant who responded asked if he was drinking, he said he was medicated. It worked for him… The Lieutenant, whose offer to drive the Judge home was denied, called one of the Judge’s “Girls” to come pick him up. I’m just lucky the truck was parked out front of my house, and I wasn’t in it! He also took out a 75 year old Hawthorne tree.

      When I was a passenger on a flight last year I was amused by the distrustful sideways glances that several passengers gave when the stewards were close/passing by. To some extent I think passengers have become wary of flight crews. Where is the line drawn with regard to what a steward considers to be “threatening”. It could be some poor guy who asks for a pillow in a manner the flight attendant doesn’t like. Bam! Handcuffs, interrogation (a sweating, too many pastries, cologne ridden officer charging the passenger under the “patriot” act), a ride downtown, a nice rest in a cell, and standing before a judge. He shouldn’t have asked for that pillow.
