American Police
State Goes Into High Gear
Prison
Planet | April 9 2004
The past
few weeks have seen an explosion of police state measures and bombshell
attacks on the God-given freedoms of American citizens. It is vital that
we communicate these abuses to the wider public and attempt to redress this
disgusting attack on the bill of rights.
Note:
Kelly Rushing of Lion County, Kentucky, is facing a year in jail for giving
a police officer a videotape. He was arrested for 'terroristic threatening'.
An article written by Alex Jones on this case and what you can do to help
will follow. Today's edition of the Alex Jones Show will also be posted
in full.

The 4th Amendment Is Almost Dead
Court
Opens Door To Searches Without Warrants
It's a
groundbreaking court decision that legal experts say will affect everyone:
Police officers in Louisiana no longer need a search or arrest warrant to
conduct a brief search of your home or business.

Bill
of Rights no longer valid in Louisiana
Almost
as frightening as this horrendous decision is the staggering amount of apathy
that has resulted from it. CNN barely mentioned it in its infinitely annoying
ticker, and Headline News had a brief sixty-second story before going to
their batch of "wacky, but true" stories.

Kiss
the 4th Amendment Goodbye
It's finally
happened. Thanks to recent judicial decisions by the traditionally conservative
5th Circuit Court and the US Supreme Court, Americans can pretty much kiss
the 4th Amendment good-bye.

Another
4th Amendment Bombshell: Right to Refuse ID Rejected
By a 4-3
vote, the Nevada Supreme Court rejected Mr. Hiibel's appeal, ruling any
privacy right guaranteed by the Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution
is "outweighed by the benefits to officers and community safety"
by allowing police to force people to provide ID, anywhere.

The 1st Amendment Is Almost Dead
Scalia
tape-erase order raises First Amendment questions
First

Scalia -- to confiscate and erase tape recordings made by two reporters
invited to hear the justice speak at a high school gymnasium.

call police on man flying upside-down US flag
Evey says
his decision to buy a brand new flag from E.T.’s Military Surplus
and deliberately fly it upside down followed months of deliberation. “It’s
a signal of distress,” he said. “I’m convinced that our
country is in distress because our government has run amuck.”
