Cheney-Bush says that the USA is currently "at war" and they are correct-except that the 'wars' they refer to are foreign: the real War is on the people of this country. Their war would be about 'hearts & minds' if the public was that engaged, but they are not. Hence the creeping militarization of American law enforcement agencies proceeds apace with very little notice.

But if one looks and occasionally listens-the evidence of this massive erosion of Constitutional Rights is screaming to be noticed ­ in just these Four Amendments that are part of the Bill of Rights.

Amendment I

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

Amendment IV

"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."

Amendment V

"No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation"

Amendment X

"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."

How then to explain the recent blatant violations of persons and their movements by uniformed authorities within the United States, without the protections against unreasonable search and seizures- never mind the routine Tasering and or stunning of private citizens without due cause by a huge number of the so called authorities in this country today?

On the net there are three-million, five-hundred and twenty thousand videos listed under "police abuse videos." On the official "Police Complaint Center" site there are some 400 incidents 'under investigation.' Many of these publicly available videos are of Taser or stun gun incidents which are out of control and increasing in number every day.

Activists say that these actions by government are designed to accustom the public to being stopped and searched, with force and the threat of force, in order to condition the population to an ever-increasingly militarized police presence in every aspect of our lives. This applies to security check points in a wide variety of locations and to drivers as well a passengers on public transportation or when using private transportation. The 'goal' the activists say, is to break down public resistance to these kinds of uniformed intrusive and illegal actions by what those who used "to protect and serve" the public.

Government claims that Tasers are just another law-enforcement tool, a tool that "saves lives." The authorities also say that Tasers are not life threatening: However a number of people have died from these encounters with quasi-authoritarian forces, in a wide variety of encounters.

What if the public decided to find these 'agents' on their days off, these uniforms that are Tasering the public, seemingly at random ­ and give them a taste of what they are so freely dispensing when in uniform. After all according to their superiors: being Tasered is no big deal, so this kind of visit from the public to those who have used the weapon indiscriminately would seem to be in order-especially since there seems to be no rush to convict anyone in uniform of anything like a crime.

If the American public were awake they might go well beyond just questioning these actions; and since virtually no action is forthcoming from "the authorities" an aroused public might decide to take the initiative.

Currently the FBI can now write their own search warrants, to do what judges will not allow them to do openly. These ostensibly federal agents can now give themselves permission to do whatever they want to do-and then they protect their actions by making even the knowledge of these illegal orders public, a separate crime in and of itself. (1)

These "uniforms" are part of the societal structure that is supposed to act to protect the public, so when one of their number is out-of-control, then maybe the public needs to make the individual offender aware of exactly how their Taser feels to the innocent citizens they seem to frequently choose to fire on? An informed citizenry would do just that ­ they might even decide to issue their own permission papers, since if it is alright for 'law enforcement' to by-pass the courts, why should the public's actions be any different. When there is no law for those who enforce the laws: Then why are there no laws to protect the victims which these crimes create! In a Republic the above is not possible, but in a fascist police state this is the norm. (2)

The public in America is under attack by its own government, a government that has created the impending financial crash that one Quadrillion dollars ion derivatives will shortly usher in. If this does not constitute an attack upon us all ­ then what could?

"Earth's principal index of economic theft and political disenfranchisement, the interest-rate derivative, grew to a record $347 trillion for the first six months of 2007.

The market for derivatives grew at the fastest pace in at least nine years to $516 trillion in the first half of 2007, the Bank for International Settlements admitted yesterday. That places the annual derivatives market at over $1,000 trillion, $1 quadrillion.

"Count 'em", one thousand, thousand billions!" (3)

Think carefully about that word "IF" then ask yourself whose country is this, and what have you done lately to pay attention to what you're losing every minute of each and every day!
