Secret Bush Administration Plan to Suspend US Constitution

Antifascist Calling…
October 7, 2008
Ten months before the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld approved an updated version of the U.S. Army’s secret operational Continuity of Government (COG) plans.
A draft document published by the whistleblowing website Wikileaks entitled, "Army Regulation 500-3, Emergency Employment of Army and Other Resources. Army Continuity of Operations (COOP) Program," dated 19 January 2001, spells out changes in Army doctrine.
Issued by Headquarters, Department of the Army and signed off by Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and the Secretary of the Army, the document is affixed with a warning: "Destruction Notice: Destroy by any method that will prevent disclosure of contents or reconstruction of the document." The restricted document as published by Wikileaks states:
History. This regulation is a revision of the original regulation that was effective on 10 July 1989. Since that time, no changes have been published to amend the original.
Summary. This regulation on the Army Continuity of Operations (COOP) Program has been revised to update Army COOP policy and extend the requirement for all-hazards COOP planning to all Army organizations. Classified information contained in the 1989 version of this AR has been removed and placed in a classified HQDA Operations Plan (OPLAN).
Applicability. This regulation applies to the Active Army, the U.S. Army Reserve (USAR), and when federalized to the Army National Guard (ARNG). In the event of conflict between this regulation and approved OSD or JCS publications, the provisions of the latter will apply. ("Army Regulation 500-3, Emergency Employment of Army and Other Resources. Army Continuity of Operations (COOP) Program," 19 January 2001, p. 3) [emphasis added]
"All-hazards COOP planning" is described as the means by which "the Army remains capable of continuing mission-essential operations during any situation, including military attack, terrorist activities, and natural or man-made disasters." While the Army stresses the updates described in AR 500-3 relate to chemical, biological, nuclear attacks, "natural disasters" and "technical or man-made disasters or accidents," current Army doctrine is also heavily weighted towards contingency planning for "civil disturbances."
Two national "civil disturbance" plans, Garden Plot and Cable Splicer have been operational since the 1960s. Researcher Frank Morales has detailed how,
Under the heading of "civil disturbance planning," the U.S. military is training troops and police to suppress democratic opposition in America. The master plan, Department of Defense Civil Disturbance Plan 55-2, is code-named, "Operation Garden Plot". Originated in 1968, the "operational plan" has been updated over the last three decades, most recently in 1991, and was activated during the Los Angeles "riots" of 1992, and more than likely during the recent anti-WTO "Battle in Seattle." …
Equipped with flexible "military operations in urban terrain" and "operations other than war" doctrine, lethal and "less-than-lethal" high-tech weaponry, US "armed forces" and "elite" militarized police units are being trained to eradicate "disorder", "disturbance" and "civil disobedience" in America. Further, it may very well be that police/military "civil disturbance" planning is the animating force and the overarching logic behind the incredible nationwide growth of police paramilitary units, a growth which coincidentally mirrors rising levels of police violence directed at the American people, particularly "non-white" poor and working people. (Frank Morales, "U.S. Military Civil Disturbance Planning: The War at Home," in Police State America, ed. Tom Burghardt, Toronto/Montreal: Arm The Spirit/Solidarity, 2002, P. 59)
AR 500-3 should be viewed in this context. Plans for Continuity of Government have been in place since the 1950s. Originally conceived during the Cold War when fears of a nuclear strike envisaged by atomic war-gamers at the RAND Corporation, believed that an immobilization of government functions and a breakdown of civilian rule would follow a nuclear attack. But from their inception, COG planning has been shrouded in secrecy.
In addition to constructing nuclear-proof underground facilities where the civilian leadership could escape a decapitation strike, other COG provisions included a series of executive orders designating which officials would assume Cabinet-level posts and other Executive Branch positions. Officials so designated would constitute a "shadow government" should office holders be killed in an attack "or otherwise incapacitated."
However, when these and other Pentagon "civil disturbance" plans surfaced in the 1980s during the Iran-Contra hearings, they were roundly criticized by members of Congress, civil liberties groups and the media before disappearing once again, down Orwell’s "memory hole." The inherent dangers implicit in such plans are that unelected Executive Branch officers could assume the Presidency and other appointed offices subject neither to congressional scrutiny nor judicial oversight.
Exercising sweeping emergency powers buried within Presidential Decision Directives (PDDs), unelected officials could suspend the Constitution, declare martial law and create an Executive Branch dictatorship that rests solely on the power of the U.S. military.
Most troubling, Executive Branch officials under secret rules of a COG regime could suppress and usurp the lawful powers of Congress and the Judicial Branch (by force of arms if deemed necessary) as a means of ensuring "cooperation" under a "unitary executive."
As we have seen, the "unitary executive" theory has been a salient feature of Bushist rule since the December 2000 judicial coup d’état, when the Supreme Court’s Bush v. Gore decision handed a contested election to George W. Bush by stopping the vote count in Florida.
Since assuming office, the administration has ruthlessly wielded executive power in order to achieve their antidemocratic agenda: from the looting of the economy through "deregulation," massive deficit spending and tax cuts for their corporate "clients," to waging a preemptive war of conquest in Iraq, the "unitary executive" has systematically shredded America’s constitutional system of checks and balances.
The Bush administration put COG plans into operation for the first time in U.S. history in the hours directly following the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. They have never been rescinded.
Their implementation involves a rotating staff of 75-150 senior government officials and others from every Cabinet department in two "secure, undisclosed locations" on the East Coast. However, key congressional representatives have been kept out of the loop and House and Senate leaders have said they were not informed the "shadow government" had "gone live."
So secretive are Bush administration plans that Peter DeFazio (D-OR), a member of the House Committee on Homeland Security, was denied access in 2007 to the classified version of the COG plans contained in top secret Presidential Decision Directive annexes. This too, is unprecedented.
While the Bush administration admitted that COG was activated in 2001, their disclosure came only after The Washington Post broke the story based on confidential administration sources troubled by the scope of the program and its secretive implementation.
Since the late 1980s, Rumsfeld was a habitué of COG exercises along with Vice President Dick Cheney. Indeed early COG drills had been organized by the right-wing Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS). As investigative journalist Andrew Cockburn revealed in his definitive political biography of the former Defense Secretary:
This highly secret program was known as Project 908, and among the individuals earmarked to take power when disaster struck was Donald Rumsfeld. … There, for several days, he would be immured in artificial caverns, staring at electronic displays streaming data of disaster and confusion, sleeping on cots and subsisting on the most austere rations. …
Insofar as the COG games gave the illusion of reality, they taught Rumsfeld and his fellow players some dangerous lessons, particularly when the fall of the Soviet Union induced some changes in the usual scenarios. Although the exercises continued, still budgeted at over $200 million in the Clinton era, the vanished Soviets were now customarily replaced by terrorists. The terrorism envisaged however, was almost always state-sponsored. …
There were other changes, too. In earlier times the specialists selected to run the "shadow government" had been drawn from across the political spectrum, Democrats and Republicans alike. But now, down in the bunkers, Rumsfeld found himself in politically congenial company, the players’ roster being filled almost exclusively with Republican hawks. (Andrew Cockburn, Rumsfeld: His Rise, Fall, and Catastrophic Legacy, New York: Scribner, 2007, pp. 85-86, 88)
As researcher Peter Dale Scott revealed, in early 2006 the Department of Homeland Security awarded a $385 million contract to a Halliburton subsidiary, KBR, to provide "temporary detention and processing facilities." Scott wrote,
The contract–announced Jan. 24 by the engineering and construction firm KBR–calls for preparing for "an emergency influx of immigrants, or to support the rapid development of new programs" in the event of other emergencies, such as "a natural disaster." The release offered no details about where Halliburton was to build these facilities, or when. …
After 9/11, new martial law plans began to surface similar to those of FEMA in the 1980s. In January 2002 the Pentagon submitted a proposal for deploying troops on American streets. One month later John Brinkerhoff, the author of the 1982 FEMA memo, published an article arguing for the legality of using U.S. troops for purposes of domestic security. (Peter Dale Scott, "Homeland Security Contracts for Vast New Detention Camps," Pacific News Service, February 8, 2006)
- A d v e r t i s e m e n t
The DHS contract to KBR had been preceded by the April 2002 creation of the Pentagon’s Northern Command (NORTHCOM), specifically empowered by the Bush administration for domestic U.S. military operations in direct violation of Posse Comitatus prohibitions forbidding the use of the military for domestic law enforcement. At the time, Defense Secretary Rumsfeld called NORTHCOM’s launch "the most sweeping set of changes since the unified command system was set up in 1946."
Sweeping indeed! Last month Army Times reported that the Army’s "3rd Infantry Division’s 1st Brigade Combat Team [BCT] has spent 35 of the last 60 months in Iraq patrolling in full battle rattle, helping restore essential services and escorting supply convoys. Now they’re training for the same mission–with a twist–at home." According to Army Times,
Beginning Oct. 1 for 12 months, the 1st BCT will be under the day-to-day control of U.S. Army North, the Army service component of Northern Command, as an on-call federal response force for natural or manmade emergencies and disasters, including terrorist attacks. …
But this new mission marks the first time an active unit has been given a dedicated assignment to NorthCom, a joint command established in 2002 to provide command and control for federal homeland defense efforts and coordinate defense support of civil authorities. …
They may be called upon to help with civil unrest and crowd control or to deal with potentially horrific scenarios such as massive poisoning and chaos in response to a chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear or high-yield explosive, or CBRNE, attack. …
The 1st BCT’s soldiers also will learn how to use "the first ever nonlethal package that the Army has fielded," 1st BCT commander Col. Roger Cloutier said, referring to crowd and traffic control equipment and nonlethal weapons designed to subdue unruly or dangerous individuals without killing them.
"It’s a new modular package of nonlethal capabilities that they’re fielding. They’ve been using pieces of it in Iraq, but this is the first time that these modules were consolidated and this package fielded, and because of this mission we’re undertaking we were the first to get it."
The package includes equipment to stand up a hasty road block; spike strips for slowing, stopping or controlling traffic; shields and batons; and, beanbag bullets. (Gina Cavallaro, "Brigade Homeland Tours Start Oct. 1," Army Times, September 8, 2008)
While senior Pentagon brass have downplayed the significance of deploying a BCT that has taken part in aggressive occupation duties to suppress the Iraqi people’s resistance, Col. Lou Vogler, NORTHCOM’s chief of future operations said in an interview that the military "will integrate with law enforcement to understand the situation and make sure we’re aware of any threats." An article published by the Army News Service disclosed,
During the exercise, commanders and staff of the force will train, rehearse and exercise–from academic classes to making decisions and executing orders–all to help prepare them for the mission they will assume on Oct. 1, said Vogler.
"It’s an opportunity for network building in an unprecedented assignment of forces," said [Marine Corps Lt. Col.] Shores. "DOD always had allocated contingency sourced forces–but this is precedent-setting network building with the forces that we ultimately will go out and execute with. It’s an opportunity to get to know our forces, to see them in execution, to mission-orient them and be that much better–to be that much more responsive."
One goal of the exercise is to exercise with partners from the civilian agencies they would support. To that end, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and other interagency representatives are participating to ensure integration with civilian consequence managers who would lead a response, said Vogler.
"The overall federal response builds on the local and state response in accordance with the incident command system and existing plans and processes that are out there," said Vogler. "The response force would supplement local efforts." ("Consequence Management Response Force to join Army Northern Command," Army News Service, September 15, 2008)
Vogler and Shores were discussing an exercise code-named Vibrant Response, that took place September 8-19 at Fort Stewart in Georgia. Three brigades form the core of NORTHCOM’s Consequence Management Response Force: the 1st Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Army Division; the 1st Medical Brigade, Fort Hood, Texas, and the 82nd Combat Aviation Brigade, Fort Bragg, North Carolina. All three units participated in Vibrant Response.
As researcher and analyst Michel Chossudovsky comments:
The BCT is an army combat unit designed to confront an enemy within a war theater.
With US forces overstretched in Iraq, why would the Pentagon decide to undertake this redeployment within the USA, barely one month before the presidential elections?
The new mission of the 1st Brigade on US soil is to participate in "defense" efforts as well as provide "support to civilian authorities".
What is significant in this redeployment of a US infantry unit is the presumption that North America could, in the case of a national emergency, constitute a "war theater" thereby justifying the deployment of combat units.
The new skills to be imparted consist in training 1st BCT in repressing civil unrest, a task normally assumed by civilian law enforcement.
What we are dealing with is a militarization of civilian police activities in derogation of the Posse Comitatus Act. ("Pre-election Militarization of the North American Homeland. US Combat Troops in Iraq repatriated to ‘help with civil unrest’," Global Research, September 26, 2008)
One scenario envisaged by Chossudovsky is that "civil unrest resulting from from the financial meltdown is a distinct possibility, given the broad impacts of financial collapse on lifelong savings, pension funds, homeownership, etc."
One might reasonably inquire, what "precedent-setting network" does the Army have in mind that would "ensure integration" with "civilian agencies" such as FEMA (a branch of Homeland Security)? As the World Socialist Web Site reports:
It is noteworthy that the deployment of US combat troops "as an on-call federal response force for natural or manmade emergencies and disasters"–in the words of the Army Times–coincides with the eruption of the greatest economic emergency and financial disaster since the Great Depression of the 1930s.
Justified as a response to terrorist threats, the real source of the growing preparations for the use of US military force within America’s borders lies not in the events of September 11, 2001 or the danger that they will be repeated. Rather, the domestic mobilization of the armed forces is a response by the US ruling establishment to the growing threat to political stability. (Bill Van Auken, "Army deploys combat unit in U.S. for possible civil unrest," World Socialist Web Site, 25 September 2008)
As the 2001 COOP planning document describes, a host of on-going Army plans and exercises have been revised by the Bush administration. In addition to Vibrant Response discussed above, they include: Plan EXCALIBUR, a COG Army training exercise; ADOBE, described by investigative journalist William M. Arkin as a "FEMA continuity of government special access program designation." Arkin describes special access programs or SAPs as,
Classified research and development, acquisition program, operation, intelligence activity, or plan that is so sensitive or critical that the value of the information warrants enhanced protection beyond that normally provided for access to Confidential, Secret, or Top Secret information. (William M. Arkin, Code Names: Deciphering U.S. Military Plans, Programs, and Operations in the 9/11 World, Hanover, NH: Steerforth Press, 2005, p. 598)
The impetus for revising Army COOP was, according to AR 500-3 primarily because,
The end of the Cold War and the breakup of the former Soviet Union significantly reduced the probability of a major nuclear attack on CONUS but the probability of other threats has increased. Army organizations must be prepared for any contingency with a potential for interruption of normal operations. To emphasize that Army continuity of operations planning is now focused on the full all-hazards threat spectrum, the name "ASRRS" has been replaced by the more generic title "Continuity of Operations (COOP) Program." (p. 13)
Towards this end, the Rumsfeld-era document states that the Army’s new "mission-critical" functions will be restructured so that, "Army COOP plans must ensure that the Army remains capable of continuing mission-essential operations during any situation, including military attack, terrorist activities, and natural or man-made disasters." (p. 13) The Army, following various contingencies analyzed in the document will "coordinate with mission-essential external organizations and agencies." (p. 14)
So sensitive are the political ramifications of these plans that under the heading, 3-12 Operational Security (OPSEC), the Army avers,
a. The success of COOP planning relies on denying access by unauthorized parties to information on COOP plans, procedures, capabilities and facilities.
b. Overhead imagery, signals intelligence, human sources, and exploitation of open literature during peacetime are threat capabilities used to gain knowledge of Army emergency plans, command and control systems, and facilities.
c. See Appendix B, Security Classification Guide, for guidance on the level of classification of COOP-related information. (COOP, op. cit., p. 20)
Appendix A of AR 500-3 lists relevant references for changes included in the COOP planning document. These include:

As Peter Dale Scott reported in CounterPunch, apparently members of Congress are considered "unauthorized parties" to be denied access "to information on COOP plans, procedures, capabilities and facilities." Congressman DeFazio had been denied access to the classified annexes of National Security and Homeland Security Presidential Directive (NSPD 51/HSPD 20) Scott wrote,
NSPD 51 contains "classified Continuity Annexes" which shall "be protected from unauthorized disclosure." Congressman DeFazio twice requested to see these Annexes, the second time in a letter cosigned by House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson and Oversight Subcommittee Chairman Christopher Carney. It was these requests that the White House denied. …
DeFazio’s inability to get access to the NSPD Annexes is less than reassuring. If members of the Homeland Security Committee cannot enforce their right to read secret plans of the Executive Branch, then the systems of checks and balances established by the U.S. Constitution would seem to be failing.
To put it another way, if the White House is successful in frustrating DeFazio, then Continuity of Government planning has arguably already superseded the Constitution as a higher authority. (Peter Dale Scott, "The Showdown," CounterPunch, March 31, 2008)
With the stunning revelations published by Wikileaks, it is abundantly clear that top Bush administration officials were busily revising Continuity of Government plans, including "civil disturbance" contingencies for suspending the Constitution and imposing martial law, long before the 9/11 attacks.
Since that fatal and tragic day seven long years ago, we have been told repeatedly by the government and their media sycophants that 9/11 was the day "when everything changed."
We now know thanks to Wikileaks, that as with the invasion and occupation of Iraq, the unprecedented and lawless surveillance of Americans, the illegal detention and torture of prisoners of war, that Bush administration assertions are no more than a pack of murderous lies.
One fact is abundantly clear from the mass of conflicting evidence and assertions made by proponents of various theories surrounding the 9/11 events: AR 500-3 demonstrates that from the very first moments after being installed in office, the Bush regime was involved in a "controlled demolition" of the U.S. Constitution.

They have planned this for decades……..ready to take over constitution and bring in Marshal Law.
October 7th, 2008 at 11:49 am
hectic – you ou’s are facked
October 7th, 2008 at 12:10 pm
Now for all you law guys. There were some decisions in the 30′ that the Supreme Court made wich took away many of our rights. Whis has been planned for a long time, and now we are seeing this plan all come together. I am not paranoid, just see things as they are AS IS, and well it is getting nasty.
Constitution, wht Constitution? We have no rights and with the false flag of 911, plann and implamented by our GVT, well we lost the rest of what little we had.
sorry guys but we are no where near ready to fight now. And I will say it again. We need trained personnel, we need good commo, we need weapons and food, and we need a good underground. We need a disciplined force to fight with not just a bunch of Good Ole Boys out there firing off their weapons and running from the law.
This fight calls for a trained military force, with a well trained underground.
The Underground was great during WWII, and well we need new code writters, we need commo that will work, and we need to get back to basics.
We need good field Intel.
so this will take time and we will have to just let them take over, we must act like good world plantation workers, ys sir boss, but behind the scenes we must organize and fight.
We let a lot of this happen, and we have to take some of the blame, but we can fix this it will just take many who are willing to fight and die. there Will Be Blood, and we must be as ruthless as the NWo soldiers.
We must drop our morals and win at all costs, and that is the only way we will win. to hell with rules of engagement, we must do what it will take.
I leave it to you?
October 7th, 2008 at 12:23 pm
I really have my doubts that the election will take place as scheduled in November. Why would King George hand over his throne that he has worked so hard to establish?
There’s a lot of stuff on the web about an event occuring on October 14th – check it out!
October 7th, 2008 at 12:47 pm
They took away every nations money, constitution , souvrenity and sold us EU by force against our will, and we didn’t move! Now we are headless slaves , in mercy of EU! Thats how things are here in Europe.. Since they have been passing on law’s after Law , thats all they do. Europe needs a big wakening as well.

Thank you all for your insights, and thank you, Alex and friends, for running this piece. Allow us to direct your attention to an article in the October issue of the AARP Bulletin entitled “Suddenly Homeless: Why More Older Americans Now Sleep In Their Cars”: now for some highlights of this disturbing article – many of the homeless are over 50. An estimated 1.6M people were homeless in America between 10/07 and 10/08 ( this is a national shame, and I fear that the real numbers are much higher than this). How have dozens of cities responded to this crisis? – they have made it increasingly difficult, if not illegal, to “live”, or sleep in cars, on the streets…mayors and legislators think the problem can be legislated out of existence…*** For all of the time and effort and money that have gone into these “continuity of government” plans, larger issues of human dignity and basic needs have been left completely unresolved – money was squandered that could have fed and housed our own citizens, and because we have not taken care of our own people, the world looks on in amazement, and sees all of this, and is completely disgusted – and if they fight us, maybe it is because they clearly see exactly what is going on here, and THEY DO NOT WANT IT.

Bush was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Really, has he ever had to stress about paying his rent or having enough money to pay his car insurance. Now how could a man like this relate someone like you or me? He already belongs to the Brotherhood of Death, so that makes him part of a group who believes they are superior to the rest of us.
I am a born again Christian. A born again Christian would unashamedly renounce a cult like that and repent. No, he wants to play along and act like it doesn’t even exist (after all, that is what they are sworn to say in public), so his loyalty belongs to Satan and not Jesus. He cannot serve two masters. Bush is just another son of perdition who came so close to repenting, but turned away and rebelled instead. God have mercy on us all.

Bush and his Cabinet are destined to ruin these United States People. Are we as a Whole or a People, going to allow him and these Neocons to Just move and change OUR LAWS we have been taught to abide by by our Fathers before us? Its time people start locking our doors and making your homes like your castle. It’s time we stand firm and protect what is legally ours and make a stand up for our rights and make them abide by we as a people want and need to follow in the laws of THIS LAND. They cannot just dictate we have to do as they say we must. Why would you allow yourselves to/ Specially looking at an economy they led to its ruin. they have TAKEN power away from the people but its not going to be an easy fight to get it back. Are we all ready too? If not, be ready for them to come into your homes and order you out. Take what ever money you possess in a bank and make up a law why there taking it. It just doesn’t make since that people haven’t learned how to voice there opinion and stand firm on what is important to them in this life. Sometimes we all have to do things we don’t like doing. But are we going to stand idle and allow them to order us around in our own neighborhoods, our own streets, our own homes? Time to see what kind of back bone we all have. This is also our homeland too Mr. Bush.

#24, It is actually “the LOVE of money is the root of all evil.”
The one with the most money still dies and you can’t take it with you.
#22, what are you talking about? I have dial-up and I can’t watch google videos because it takes almost a half day for it to load. What is the stupid video about?

We mustn’t forget incrementalism folks, I believe we will see a pull back, this can’t happen forever, they masses wouldn’t stand for it. They have to prove that we are we are wrong, we might hit bottom, but the end is not today or tomorrow, it is soon, but we need to realize this and talk about it, it is the largest part of all this, it is the basis for disproving all that we know to be true.
Think about it, we get out talk about doom and gloom, and it doesn’t happen, we have a population who cannot delay gratification, this is evident in traffic and internet use.
Our ‘leaders’ know this, I reccomend everyone google, top ten social psychology experiements, and then you will get where we are.
These truths about society must be followed by the truthers as well. Staying the course isn’t enough to combat cognitive dissonance the masses need to made aware of these truths
and understand thier minds as the government does.

Freedom comes ONLY through Jesus Christ. When America decided that Jesus was no longer our Lord we kissed freedom goodbye. When we said the Constitution trumped the Bible and guaranteed the right to kill babies and pracitce fecal-matter sex and that the fecalists have the right to marry, we kissed the Constitution goodbye. Our demise as certain as the sunset today.

“This country would be alot easier to run if it were a dictatorship……as long as I was the Dictator”.
G.W. BUSH
No doubt this was his plan all along! Now McCain is starting to say it! HMMM???

I guess everything that has happened over the last 8 years is now the liberals fault. After being crapped on by speculators of the Enron variety-oh but Bush is just a puppet-he didn’t have anything to do with deregulation or sending our soldiers off to war after misleading everyone.
You have people like Webster Tarpley who are actually saying that those who are in oppostion to corporate greed are the fascist-that the rebels or people from the street are the fascist. He obviously is not at all a person who uses his brain before he spews such a stew of lies. Fascism is when corporation and governments become one-not when people protest against it,
There is a big difference between the two parties-the republicans believe in deregulation-democrats don’t . Republicans believe in ‘trickle down economics’-which might as well be called ‘hand-me down economics’-where workers have little say in their wages or workplace environment.
How Webster Tarpley can write a whole book and not even know what fascism is just shows what kind of idiots are out there. Saying Bush is a puppet over and over is also idiotic-wasn’t it he that sent our soldiers off to war and has kept them off to war longer than WW2? Wasn’t it Bush that rolled out the Patriot Act which is about as unpatriotic as a document could be? Bush is not a puppet, but he is a fascist! Bush is what a real fascist looks like-like an Enron executive on steroids!
If you want to keep thinking the two parties are the same because Alex Jones and or Webster Tarpley say so -go ahead, but I can asure you the two parties are not the same, nor do they look at the poor and middle class the same. Democrats believe in a fair shake for all-they don’t believe in ‘trickles downs’, ‘hand me downs’, or that one group is so much better than another that they make 500 times the salary of the average worker!

Thank you for running this piece! An apt symbol of the Bush administration is the collapsing world trade center buildings – symbolizing the collapse of our republic, and now the collapse of our economy. Everything this administration has touched has been completely destroyed.

Religion is on the opposite end of the whole Freedom spectrum. Mind control, brain washing, and cult activities are all something practiced by the Christian establishment as a tool starting with the Roman empire, not just the American government and media. It continues today despite the development of advanced answer-inducing technologies such as the Telescope and the Microscope.

The only possible solution is to convince as many people as you can to monitor their investments so that those are NOT used to prop up the WAR machine! Many pensioners have very large investment accounts/retirement plans who can really bring the corporate government to their knees!
So please tell all people you know and meet that they can make the difference by shifting their money into more people oriented investments.
James Mansfield–from the bewilderness–thanks for coming!
PS: tell them they should research the companies to which they are shifting their funds carefully. For example, a company like GE sounds innocent enough but you should see what they are involved in!

Declaration of Independence
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.—That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,—That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

The Talmudists are using the sheeple to get rid of fellow sheeple while the latter are busy with their degeneracy of churchianity .Now it’s come to the point when it’s too late bothering with saving the sheeple and avoid being dragged by the herd going down.

In defence of freedom and the Constitution it’s not a crime to shoot outlaws violating Posse Comitatus including local “police” cooperating with them. Founding Fathers did revolt and encouraged
their descendants to be vigilant. A good rifle with a scope will pick them out real good.
October 9th, 2008 at 8:15 am
Your guys are nuts with all this crap you are talking. We live in America. Like it or not its the BEST. You all are so worried about 911 being planned by Bush and his crew. All these strikes that are being planned like the big trucker thing on Sept 11, The thing on Oct 13 and the election not happening is a bunch of crap. So you WACKOS load up your basements with a years worth of powered milk and mac and cheese and get all your guns locked and loaded and because any day now the military will be coming to your house (w/ Bush driving the tank) to take everything you have. SO be ready to fight.
OR ……
You can just live your life. Enjoy your family, your job. You my not know this but God is in controll. You may not like it but like Rick Flair use to say ” you better learn to live with it” None if what is happening in the world has taken him by suprise. If you will put your trust in HIM and not in the world he will see you through.
October 9th, 2008 at 9:04 am
Hey Big easy you need to ease up with the “WACKOS” stuff! It is the “WACKOS” that are keeping an eye on our crooked government and world. Remember that every patriot and idealist in history was called a wacko at one time by someone. But, those people are the ones that see the change coming that goes against everything that our Constitution stands for! Yes, some people carry it a little too far sometime, but in order to get a point across sometime you have to blow things a little out of proportion. At one time the earth was flat remember? Also, the sun rotated around the earth! The people who believed different were all called wackos. You have to take this stuff with a grain of salt, but at least look at the facts and watch the world to see if any of it actually happens. Should you be ready for the worst…YES! That doesn’t mean going out and spending every dime you have on supplies. But, have something extra on hand at all times. My Grandmother use to have an extra freezer FULL of food and had enough canned goods to feed an army in her house. She grew up in a time when you didn’t know if you would have the money to buy groceries or if the store would have anything on the shelves. I thought is was wierd that she always had sooo much food on hand, but now I understand why. Things could happen and if they did…how many people know how to hunt, fish and have gardens? Stop depending on the government for everything and start being self sufficient! Elect people who tell you what you do not want to hear and are honest…the ones that have your ideas and tell you everything perfectly are the worst ones to elect. We need a true American to be elected…and it is sad to say but someone who is not from this country and longs for what it has to offer would be better than what we have now. At least we would know that they come from nothing and understand what it is like to struggle and dream for bigger and better things. We (our ancestors) all came from somewhere else looking for a better life…are we gonna let our ancestors dreams go down the tubes with a new world order? True FREEDOM is what we all desire and we must fight to attain it. Start the revolution now and lets get our consitution and our country back!
October 9th, 2008 at 11:33 am
bring it on, only a bloody revolution will restore america.
lets do it.
grab any traitor that you can get your hands on and hang them.

#42 your a douche bag. its people like you that will bring the end of us. people like you who look the blind eye and say hey, doesn’t bother me. What is being done to not only the USA but the world is what i like to call RAPE! the rape of freedom. So if you were walking down the street and see someone getting raped you would turn the blind eye, or better yet walk up to the person getting raped and say “you better live with it”…..NEWSFLASH: GOD IS NOT PROVEN! so you put all your trust and faith in this unproven god to solve our problems. good one dickhead. what about the thousands of men, woman and children dying each day from disease, war, and starvation…did god help them? I’m sure they would like to live there life and enjoy their family too you selfish bastard. and enjoy your job? what world are you living in? we all work as slaves for a fake valueless little piece of paper saying $. People need to unify and seek the truth, cause its the only way we will overcome this decay on our world. If we all had the same mindset as you all hope is gone. i hope you enjoy your life now, because i fear you will not soon.
October 13th, 2008 at 11:17 am
See this is what I am talking about Musclez. There are people like the 2 Freedom guys #45 and 48. These guys are out there. Did you read what they are saying …
“THAT LITTLE BUSH BASTARD NEEDS TO BE CAPITALY PUNISHED.”
“YES 911 WAS AN INSIDE JOB WAKE UP RETART” (nice spelling)
“we all work as slaves for a fake valueless little piece of paper saying $”
CAPITALY PUNISHED, 911 inside job??? Are you serious. I really believe they are. That is sick and twisted. I dont know what job #48 has but on Friday when I get paid I will take that “fake valueless little piece of paper” and pay my bills. Because I am not up to my eyeballs in debt like most folks I will have some “fake valueless little piece of paper” left over and I will save some and then take my family out for dinner. I will enjoy my family and enjoy my job and if that makes me a “selfish bastard” then so be it. I am just a regular guy working a regular job. No better that anyone else. I have a plan for my life and my money.
As for God all you have to do is look out the window. When you do you will use the eye that He gave you and see God all over the place. You cant tell me that 2 rocks colided and caused “Big bang” and through that your eye or brain were created. I can tell you that God has worked in my life. I can not and will not defend Him. He is gonna do what he is gonna do. I dont know why. Both my parents are gone. My little nephew is gone. People die everyday due to poverty sickness and war. I just dont understand it. I dont have to. I try and help where I can. I do know this…God loves you. I will trust in him always.
Take some of that hate that you have a turn it into something positive. You will waste your life if you don’t.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. Roller-coaster weather that included a soggy spring, hurricane-induced winds and drought had Kentucky grain farmers expecting the worst for this year’s harvest. But when combines started rolling, some corn producers
