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

P.S. Listen to “Officer” Villa. He is so damned ignorant of what he is doing that it is downright scary.
I hate to say it, but Orwell was in fact right, again…
In a police-state such as ours, fascistic and authoritarian, the governing authority must be able to maintain power and control over the populace, without carpet bombing of course. In Orwell’s 1984 one of the many mechanisms created by INGSOC was the Ministry of Love. Ministry of Love has such a great sounding name, but just as as everything in the nightmare world, the truth was quite the opposite. The Miniluv, as newspeakers called it, was surrounded by barbed-wire and machine-gun nests, protected torture, fear and brainwashing sanctuary. The people knew what went on there and it helped to build in that extra fear needed to maintain control.
America is getting its own Ministry of Love. As the LA Times reports, Immigration and Customs Enforcement has recently opened up the floor for bids to build three 600-man-woman-child detention facilities. This time they are doing it under the guise of families “fighting deportation cases” and say the camps will be will be “minimum-security residential facilities that would provide a ‘least restrictive, nonsecure setting’ and provide schooling for children(Re-education), recreational activities(Manual Labor) and access to religious services(All Heil INGSOC).” Parenthesis added.
Of course these aren’t the only camps our loving empire has built for civilian use. The latest ones being built by none other than KBR, subsidiary of Halliburton, started construction in 1999. As Berkley professor and author, Peter Dale Scott writes, “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.”
Well, so far it doesn’t sound so bad I suppose, I mean, to most Americans illegals immigrants aren’t necessarily human, another purposeful effect of the severe mass brainwashing program currently in progress. Of course this goes back even further to the Rex 84 program [VIDEO], again supposedly designed for illegal immigrants and continuity of government… You know those continuity of government plans they refuse to tell even congress about? [VIDEO]
Then of course there is the Army regulations 210-35 for “Civilian Inmate Labor Programs.” The regulation provides policy to create prison and labor camps on military bases to provide “a source of labor at no direct cost to the Army,” in order to give “meaningful work to inmates” and help to alleviate “overcrowding in nearby corrections facilities.”
Now, obviously they will not be rounding up every single America in the country. In a fascist empire, that really is bad for business. No Consumer, no cash flow. Rather, the idea is to scare the general populace into submission. As with the Ministry of Love in 1984, everyone will know when someone is black-bagged and disappeared. They will know what goes on in the barb-wire compounds with guards and machine-gun nests. It will scare them so much they will censor themselves and be sure not to step out of line. They will continue to consume.
It’s called “Checkpoint Evolution” and it’s the new form of security-state tyranny to grace our bastions of freedom of travel, which is a constitutional right by the way, travel, not tyranny. Secretary of the Ministry of Homeland Security, Michael Chertoff, will be demonstrating the new system at BWI Thurgood Marshall Airport on Monday. They even have a wonderful website, looking as corporately fascist as possible, that details the new system.
Among the upgrades are the Millimeter Wave “Portals.” These are the highly-scrutinized machines that actually give the viewer a full frontal/rear view of the of the person walking through it. Don’t worry, it’s not invasive, the person who views it never actually sees YOU, so it must be OK. As part of the plan, according to the video, the person who is being invaded, walks through the scanner and the picture is transmitted to a TSA in a secret faraway room, in a snappy new uniform might I add, who then views the picture for any possible terror tools, like shampoo and multi-tools. The picture is then disposed of, they claim there is not any possible way to save or print the picture.
So, even if I was OK with the scanning of my body, equating to a strip search for no reason other than I want to go visit my buddy in another state, if they did “find” something on someone, there is absolutely no way to save the “evidence” for use in a “trial” later. I mean, it’s not like the authorities to plant evidence, 92-year old police state slaughter victims aside.
No, this is just another system not designed to keep us safe from terr’ists. It is just another measure in the lockdown of the citizenry in this country, brought to you by the Empire.
Though, technology is not the only “enhancement” of the “Checkpoint Evolution” system. No, the public/private stasi-partnership the feds have created with the TSA has gotten a makeover. Their uniforms have been updated, “using feedback from the public,” yea, I’m sure.
(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.
They call it the EMD “Safety” Bracelet. It stands for Electro-Muscular Disruption. It is made by a company called Lamperd Firearm Training Systems and gives airlines, because terrorists love to use airlines, the ability to store all of the passengers personal data and ticket information on a bracelet that can be worn by the passenger. But wait! There’s more! It also allows the airline to track the movements of all those who wear the bracelet throughout the terminal. I know, you’re wondering where you can get one. Well, we’re not done yet!
According to the company’s video press release it has one more added feature. It gives the ability to activate the bracelet and send a debilitating electric shock to the bracelets wearer! From the products patent,
Upon activation of the electric shock device, through receipt of an activating signal from the selectively operable remote control means, the passenger wearing that particular bracelet receives the disabling electrical shock from the electric shock device. Accordingly, the passenger becomes incapacitated for a few seconds or perhaps a few minutes, during which time the passenger can be fully subdued and handcuffed, if necessary. Depending on the type of transmission medium used to send the activating signal, other passengers may also become temporarily incapacitated, which is undesirable and unfortunate, but may be unavoidable.
This way all the highly intelligent airline officials, who don’t have any sort of political axes to grind as they are infallible, can electrocute and subdue you the next time you step out of line. You know, like praying on the plane, or maybe wearing a t-shirt they don’t like. No word on if you can pick the hand you want to wear it on.
Of course, this is not the first time airlines have sought to track its passengers at every turn either. Britain kicked around an idea to track passengers with RFIDs in their tickets. The RFIDs would allow them to track people to the camera they are in the vicinity of. This is all for your safety of course. While we are at it maybe we can make it so people can’t travel without the governments permission, this way we could have some sort of double whammy of anti-terrorist protection. Oh wait… They are going to do just that! As David Gutierrez writes for Natural News, the Ministry of Homeland Security “is moving forward to institute a rule that would require all passengers to go through a government review process before boarding any airplane that takes off or lands anywhere with in the United States.”
This way terrorists such as the man wearing a an anti-Bush shirt or someone who studies an unapproved religion will not even get the chance to wear a bracelet! Anything for safety! If we are not secure, how in the world can we be free!
Why isn’t this on the American corporate media? Well, I guess I answered the question with the question. The media is in fact corporate. Given that we live in a fascist/corporatist country, they are simply playing their role and hiding the truth for their governmental lapdogs. This is the new America. Everyone has seen the pictures of the tent cities from the depression. Well, these are no different. There will be more of them. As the housing crash continues and foreclosure continue to reach record levels, more and more families will be homeless. It’s a damn shame, to say the least, considering this is all engineered to collapse on purpose, it’s also a damn crime. Tis the way Empire’s crumble, I suppose.
I did. I enjoy watching apocalyptic “could be” scenarios. In this case it was what would happen to the planet and our civilization if we just up and vanished. How we vanished I don’t know, as I missed the first 10 or so minutes. It portrays the breakdown of nuclear reactors and the radiation storm that comes of it. The shattering of damns and the crumbling of buildings. Above all, it gives you a sense, both directly and indirectly, that humans are a virus, slowly killing our planet with bad choices, the worst damage coming from after we leave and can no longer tend to the mess we call civilization. A feeling that is shared by our globalist controllers looking to wipe us out, or at least cull us to more manageable numbers. That is until the point in the future when the Earth begins to cleanse and repair all that we had done. Oh those horrible humans!
If you weren’t sure about the premise that humans are a virus, the commercials were sure to cement the idea in your mind. Commercials for upcoming shows that work to show how much in resources every single human uses and wastes. If this isn’t propaganda towards the U.S. Home Audience then I don’t know what is. These people really do think we are a virus that needs to be vaccinated. Not only do they believe this, but they d their best to bring us int the fold and give us a bit of survivors, or is it existance, guilt. I exist, I eat, I breathe, I use resources, therefore I must be evil and a hateful anti-environment scumbag who deserves everything he gets, including tainted vaccines, poisoned food and air and of course, bombs dropped on my fellow humans and possibly me in the near future…
This is not the first time humans have been portrayed this way, nor is the first time the implication has been made that “Gaia” would be better off without us, so we should all die. No, this is par for the course, feel guilty for simply being human.
I am not a disease. I am not a destructive force on my environment. I am a human being. Because I am human I have a right to live, a right to breathe and a right to be happy. I have a right to a home, an office building and food packaged in whatever I want. I don’t feel guilty for existing. I guess the program didn’t do its job on me…
Those were the words of our fearless leader, Herr Bush. No seriously, when asked about the war and how it affects the economy he states, “I don’t think so. I think actually the spending in the war might help with jobs…because we’re buying equipment, and people are working. I think this economy is down because we built too many houses and the economy’s adjusting.”[video below] Well, yea we did SELL to many houses, but as we have seen, that was entirely engineered for the very reason of crashing our markets.
As for the war being good, he seems to be on the same page as now-defunct presidential shill Mitt Romney who also explicitly stated that the trillion dollar war is not hurting our economy.
I would question the logic used by these two rat bastards, but I fear none was used at all. Only illogical and flawed, many would say psychopathic, thinking would argue that one million innocent Iraqi lives, thousands of American lives, tens of thousands more ruined by long-lasting injuries/deformities and the billions upon billions upon billions of dollars smart-bombed into Iraq would be good for us and our economy.
It is certainly not good for me. The price of oil has skyrocketed, leaving me paying WAY to much to get to school and work. The ensuing market calamity has sent food prices sky high, leaving me to pay entirely to much for simple subsistence. Then of course we have to stature of the United States being completely destroyed in the eyes of the world and our fellow humans.
No, the war is fine for our economy. We buy equipment and stuff…
how infuriating this is! The fascist pig actually threatens violence against a 14-year old boy! He plainly threatens to smack him. If someone says that to a cop he would slap cuffs on the person and probably tase them. How powerful this police-state trash must feel, lording over children like this. He goes on to demand respect and berates the kid for not calling him officer. Apparently using the word “dude” is a punishable offense. Police state trash, nothing more.
I have had a similar encounter. I got pulled over and the cop began yelling at me the second I questioned his word. I asked him why he did not WANT to show me the radar, he simply reiterated that he did not legally have to. I told him, as he screamed at me from one foot away, that he needed to calm down. He then screamed “I HAVE COMPLETE CONTROL OF THIS SITUATION!” I calmly told him he did not even have control of his temper, much less the situation. He then stepped back two feet and turned on a pocket recorder. He was then as nice as can be. Thankfully, while it was not recording, I also had a pocket recorder with which I was able to scare him into thinking I had it all in digital audio goodness. Needless to say, he was backed into a corner and had to let me go.
The officer in this video should be fired! Not only that, he should also be brought up on charges of violating civil liberties under the color of law! He should spend some time in the slammer for what he did to these poor kids. Respect, you don’t demand respect. You earn it. Let this be a lesson to everyone. Get a pocket recorder, maybe even a video camera and document every single encounter with jack-booted thugs. Only through vigilance can we stop these fascists! F*CK THE POLICE STATE!
Protesters get arrested outside of the Blackwater compound. This was the first protest there, and it ended with multiple protestors being tried and convicted of charges. No Blackwater personnel have been convicted of murder or rape yet. Welcome to the Empire. Be sure to thank Blackwater when they secure your firearms for you. You know, to keep them AND above all, YOU, safe.
I say pile on the demonstrations. Make the Enforcers arrest dozens of people on false charges!

Last week in Currituck County, N.C., Superior Court Judge Russell Duke presided over the final step in securing the first criminal conviction stemming from the deadly actions of Blackwater Worldwide, the Bush administration’s favorite mercenary company. Lest you think you missed some earth-shifting, breaking news, hold on a moment. The “criminals” in question were not the armed thugs who gunned down 17 Iraqi civilians and wounded more than 20 others in Baghdad’s Nisour Square last September. They were seven nonviolent activists who had the audacity to stage a demonstration at the gates of Blackwater’s 7,000-acre private military base in North Carolina to protest the actions of mercenaries acting with impunity — and apparent immunity — in their names and those of every American.
