Terrence Bressi has to drive through a suspicionless checkpoint everyday. This one happens to be an immigration checkpoint FORTY MILES inland. As in, NOT on the border…where immigrants cross. The checkpoint consists of not much more than a trailer, some SUV’s and a gang of green suited thugs. The goal of the checkpoint is apparently to get you to stop and either say you are an American(Heiling INGSOC will soon be required) or admit to being here illegally. Bressi refuses to answer their questions, standing firm on his right to be free from unreasonable search and seizure. THis time they detain him for 10 minutes while the fascist pig essentially lectures him on the importance of being a good American and answering to authority when questioned for no good reason, and then chides him for being so selfish about his freedom and holding up the row of cars behind him who are all willing to sacrifice the small shred of what liberty they may have left.

Of course that is not all they will do. If you get froggy you can get pulled over into a secondary checkpoint that usually involves the further dismembering of your fourth amendment rights and nowadays, probably electrocution by taser.

This is just another example of the police state we have become. Pulled over just to be asked your allegiance.

Next thing you know they will be stopping me for being out past curfew. Oh wait, that’s what DWI stops are for. Another stop which is completely unconstitutional.

Now I know, many people out there say, What’s wrong with DWI checks? You shouldn’t drive if you are drunk. I agree. You should not. But I hardly see how infringing everyone else’s freedom coerces people to not do it.

When I am pulled over at a DWI checkpoint I am asked 5 things generally. License? Insurance? Registration? Where are you going? and Where are you coming from? Here in southern New Mexico that also means armored prisoner wagons and black clad para-military thugs working for the Federalie…er I mean State Police.

Now, suddenly this has changed from are you drunk to, “Papers please, oh and an itinerary too.”

Suddenly, under the guise of drunk drivers they are now also giving away no insurance tickets (Why should the government be able to require me to enter into a contract with ANY public/private entity?), running plates and registration(why should they know what car I own? Did they help me pay for it?), doing a visual search of the inside of your vehicle(I have actually had the shine lights in the back to get a REAL GOOD look) and my favorite, among other things, the penultimate in Nanny-State, issue seatbelt tickets.

Now, I have successfully avoided hardcore police stating by denying them the information of my itinerary, though I highly doubt it would fly if I denied to show them my papers. Besides, I believe it is currently against the law in many states to not show your license when commanded. Plays into the idea of the license to drive being a privilege and not a right, something which i beg to differ with.

So, as you can see, a seemingly innocuous situation has turned tyrannical in a heart beat. Without freedom there is not freedom. You are not free if your government is keeping tabs on you and can stop you at any time. You are not free if someone dictates any single shred of your life, particularly if that someone is sporting a government badge and a tax-payed salary. No, if these things are true we are nothing more than slaves with a large grazing area. Oh well, nobody need the Fourth Amendment anyways. On with the video

May 7, 2008 Asia Times Yes, the Pentagon did want to hit Iran By Gareth Porter

WASHINGTON - Three weeks after the September 11, 2001, terror attacks, former US defense secretary Donald Rumsfeld established an official military objective of not only removing the Saddam Hussein regime by force but overturning the regime in Iran, as well as in Syria and four other countries in the Middle East, according to a document quoted extensively in then-under secretary of defense for policy Douglas Feith’s recently published account of the Iraq war decisions.

Feith’s account further indicates that this aggressive aim of remaking the map of the Middle East by military force and the threat of force was supported explicitly by the country’s top military leaders.

Feith’s book, War and Decision, released last month, provides excerpts of the paper Rumsfeld sent to President George W Bush on September 30, 2001, calling for the administration to focus not on taking down Osama bin Laden’s al-Qaeda network but on the aim of establishing “new regimes” in a series of states by “aiding local peoples to rid themselves of terrorists and to free themselves of regimes that support terrorism”. (more…)

In yet another attempt to ratchet up attacks against anti-imperialist groups, such as those in the 9/11 Truth movement attempting to expose government mass murder, the Al CIA-Duh spokesman, Aymen Al-Zawahiri said 9/11 conspiracy theories were being propagated by the Iranian government.

Thus, the dissenters are now linked to the enemy of all enemies. I bet this audio tape only took the CIA a couple of days to produce, they have plenty of experience after all.

According to the associated press one of the questioners, probably on AskAymen.com, asked if the theories were true about the Israeli’s involvement in the horrendous acts of September 11, 2001. Zawahiri was quick to point out, as if reading a script supplied by his psy-op masters, “The purpose of this lie is clear — (to suggest) that there are no heroes among the Sunnis who can hurt America as no else did in history. Iranian media snapped up this lie and repeated it.”

So, now if you are against war with Iran and mass murder on the home-front, you are with the Iranians. You hate your country, and like the terrorists, hate America’s freedom. It has nothing to do with the desire to NOT kill hundreds of thousands of innocent grandmas and children. It has nothing to do with the desire to NOT waste billions upon billions of dollars on the violent enslavement of humanity, starting with the Middle East. No, it’s because you are a terrorist.

It has already been thoroughly proven that the tapes from these Al CIA-Duh patsies are nothing more than low quality fabrications using high quality technology. Whether it was Neil Krawetz, who proved, “there are so many splices that I cannot help but wonder if someone spliced words and phrases together. I also cannot rule out a vocal imitator during the frozen-frame audio,” or the fact that they have admitted voice morphing technology, as the CIA’s favorite mouthpiece the Washington Post reported in 1999, the facade on this terror war is so thin it wouldn’t support tissue paper.

Pile on the fact that the Associated Press could not verify the authenticity of the recording, since the website it was “released” from has not been disclosed, and something smells really bad. Though, it’s no surprise they did not release the website, they are probably still embarassed at the fact that they got busted hosting these sites in the Maryland, you know, where the NSA works.

But, none of this matters. The general populace will eat up the propaganda and spit compliance to stasi-style tactics, just so they can make ti home one time to enjoy what little bit of their day is left, after working a job they hate to barely afford fuel to get there, all so they can buy meager amounts of food for their family. All of this of course, is the fault of the terrorists. Assuming the perpetrators of 9/11 are the terrorists, the people are not far off, if only they would let loose of the Alice in Wonderland dream state they currently live in and realize their government does not love them.

Probably asking to much.

Coalition helicopter drops weapons into Taliban hands, Afghan officials say www.globalresearch.ca The Associated Press Sunday, April 13, 2008

KABUL, Afghanistan: A coalition helicopter trying to supply Afghan police with munitions dropped supplies in the wrong location and Taliban fighters later recovered the weaponry, an intelligence official said Sunday.

A member of parliament, however, said he didn’t believe the arms drop was an accident.

Amrullah Saleh, the head of Afghanistan’s intelligence service, told a parliament security committee “coalition forces” intended to place weapons, ammunition and food at a police checkpoint in a remote section of the southern province of Zabul in late March. (more…)
