Note to non-USA readers: Again, as was mentioned on Day 1, please
keep in mind that policies and "solutions" which originate in the US
in these days of globalization have a habit of showing up elsewhere
afterwards.
1.4 The Bill of Rights: under comprehensive assault by Defendants
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
AMENDMENT 1 - Restriction on Powers of Congress
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
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 GOVT for a redress of grievances.
We have already seen how FUNDAMENTALISTS, assisted by Defendants,
have been chipping away at the separation-of-church-and-state
doctrine, for the express purpose of imposing a restrictive moral
code on the nation. This is in direct contradiction to the letter
and intent of the Constitution, and serves to "chill" public
discussion and legislative deliberations. The purpose of these
maneuvers, as we shall see, is ultimately to undermine additional
civil liberties, by benefit of the repressive FUNDAMENTALIST climate
thus created.
In particular, a conspiracy is afoot to abridge freedom of speech and
the press, a conspiracy being pursued in that newest and most dynamic
domain of speech and press: the Internet (aka the "net"). Internet
provides a channel for the mass dissemination of information and
viewpoints that is outside MEDIA control, and net usage is growing
exponentially - ultimately the net is likely to become society's
_primary_ information infrastructure, subsuming television and cable
broadcasting. The NWO perceive, and rightly so, that the net is a
serious potential threat to their continued control over the public
mind, and thus a threat to their continued political hegemony and
domination of GOVT. It is no surprise that a broad-based and well-
financed net censorship effort has been launched by the NWO and its
MEDIA and GOVT co-conspirators.

In the 20's there was a battle. Radio was coming along, everyone
knew it wasn't a marketable product like shoes. It's gonna be
regulated and the question was, who was gonna get hold of it? Well,
there were groups, (church groups, labor unions were extremely weak
and split then, and some student groups)... who tried to organise to
get radio to become a kind of a public interest phenomenon; but they
were just totally smashed. I mean it was completely commercialized.
- Noam Chomsky
The big effect which I still haven't mentioned and the one that
worries me most is what the corporate world is telling us they have
in mind. And what they are telling us they have in mind is taking the
whole thing [cyberspace] over and using it as a technique of
domination and control.
- Noam Chomsky
SIDEBARS
-=-=-=-=-=-=~-~=-=-=-=-=-=-
The leading edge of this conspiratorial undertaking is being pushed
by MEDIA, by means of a defamation campaign against the net, mis-
portraying this PEOPLE's media as a hotbed of perversion and
terrorism. Sensationalized stories appear regularly about
pornography and bomb recipes being available on the net, and of the
net being used by hackers, terrorists and hate groups. This
defamation campaign, assisted by vocal FUNDAMENTALIST complaints, has
created a political climate in which support of net censorship has
become popular among legislators, politicians, and much of the public
- not just in the US, but worldwide.
In 1996, assisted by the well-timed publication of Time magazine's
infamous "Cyberporn" propaganda article, GOVT passed the Computer
Decency Act (CDA), a frontal assault on net freedom of speech, press,
and (virtual) assembly. The rhetoric of the bill's proponents was
about "protecting children", but the enforcement details of the bill
reveal its true intent.
Besides criminalizing the original posting of "offending" messages,
strong sanctions were prescribed against any net service provider
whose equipment stored or transmitted such messages. What this would
mean in practice is that service providers, in order to avoid
criminal liability, would be forced to monitor the traffic through
their equipment: they would need to review postings the same way
newspaper editors review material prior to publication. This places
a severe administrative burden on service providers, and threatens to
dramatically curtail the open exchange of messages on the net - thus
facilitating MEDIA's continued control over public access to
information and views in the cyberspace era.
The CDA was so blatantly unconstitutional that even the GOVT-
appointed Supreme Court couldn't stomach it, and rightly overturned
it - thus highlighting the anti-constitutional intent behind the
conspiracy. Completely undeterred, the conspirators continue their
endeavor by other and diverse means. A modified version of CDA is
being pursued, craftily worded to evade Supreme-Court rejection;
overly-strict copyright and libel laws are being proposed, which
would impose, as did the CDA, crippling administrative burdens on
service providers; alarmist warnings of net-supported terrorism are
being raised on Capital Hill by the GOVT's FBI.
The continuation of open communication on the net by US citizens, by
such means as mailing lists and bulletin boards, is under dire threat
from this conspiracy on the part of the DEFENDANTS, and in many
countries censorship has already been imposed or is being seriously
considered. As the world moves into the digital age, and cyberspace
becomes the universal medium of information and communication, the
NWO is sparing no expense to maintain its tight control over public
perceptions and opinions, and thus over politics, GOVT, and society
in general.
AMENDMENT 2 - Right to Bear Arms
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
A well-regulated militia being necessary to the security of
a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms
shall not be infringed.
The situation in the US regarding guns, gun control, and violent
crime is bizarre, nearly as bizarre as the range of public attitudes
on those issues. The widespread availability of everything from
handguns to assault rifles is a clear and present danger to public
safety, and the use of guns in robberies and assaults in the US far
exceeds that anywhere else in the developed world. The trauma wards
in urban US hospitals deal with more gunshot wounds in a single week
than the hospitals in most advanced countries might see in a year.
The majority of the public, and most responsible criminologists, are
in favor of effective gun-control legislation which respects
constitutionally protected legitimate uses (sport, self-defense,
etc). Yet GOVT refuses to implement meaningful gun control,
allegedly because of "strong political pressure" from the National
Rifle Association (NRA) and other pro-gun lobby groups. But is this
a credible defense of GOVT inaction? Is the NRA really that
powerful?
I suggest to the jury that the "NRA defense" is a sham. If GOVT were
so intimidated by popular pressure groups it would never have passed
NAFTA over the vocal objections of organized labor, and it would not
so readily dismantle welfare programs, thus alienating those millions
of voters unable to find work. GOVT is not nearly so politically
timid as it pretends to be. Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I
suggest that we need to look elsewhere to explain GOVT's refusal to
deal with the problem of too many guns loose in society. The plain
fact is that effective gun control would be a politically _popular_
move, the stridently vocal NRA notwithstanding.
In fact, if we look at the broad spectrum of GOVT activity, both
overt and covert, what we see is a pattern of _encouraging_ the
maximal presence of guns and violence in society. Besides the
refusal to adequately regulate the manufacture, sale, and possession
of firearms, GOVT also tolerates the existence of armed militia
groups who openly advocate armed rebellion to GOVT authority, and
permits organized urban gangs to operate which use automatic weapons
to maintain their drug-distribution territories.
Why does GOVT tolerate such blatant lawlessness? If some leftist or
black-power organization were to arm itself with automatic weapons
and advocate violent rebellion or engage in drug trafficking, all
haste would be employed to infiltrate the group, secure incriminating
evidence, and prosecute the leadership on conspiracy charges. Why is
GOVT so seemingly inept with respect to (right-wing) militias and
(apolitical) urban gangs? Why is it, by default, encouraging these
blatant threats to public peace and order?
Furthermore, GOVT encouragement of such groups goes beyond merely
tolerating them. There is persuasive evidence, which you will be
shown later in this indictment, of covert GOVT involvement in the
drug trade, in supplying weapons to urban gangs, in permitting
clandestine fraternization among military personnel and militia
leaders, and in making surplus military facilities available for use
in militia training exercises. In addition, one can reasonably
assume that militias and urban gangs are being actively monitored by
GOVT informers, extending still further GOVT complicity.
This comprehensive encouragement of violent factions accomplishes
several objectives in the NWO conspiracy to install a police state,
and we will be returning to this topic frequently during this
indictment. As regards Amendment 2, the "right to bear arms", I
suggest to you that the ultimate consequence of GOVT policy is to
create a situation where overwhelming public pressure will build for
decisive GOVT action against firearm ownership, and against the armed
organizations.
In other words, GOVT is intentionally allowing the situation to get
out of hand, so that later it can "respond to public pressure" and
eliminate Amendment 2 altogether. As you recall from Day 1 of these
proceedings, this is a standard NWO/GOVT tactic: the exploitation of
existing factions in the pursuit of NWO objectives - the implicit
recruitment of such factions as dupe accomplices in NWO projects.
Earlier the accomplice was the FUNDAMENTALISTS, and the project was
undermining free speech and inculcating a repressive ideology; in
this case the dupes are militias and urban gangs, and the project has
many objectives, one of which is the undermining of Amendment 2.
I suggest to you that the Waco episode can be seen as an ominous
omen, a microcosm of how GOVT will ultimately deal with militias and
gangs. When the time to act comes, after public polarization on
firearms has reached a fever pitch, MEDIA can be expected to launch a
demonization campaign against these groups. "Revelations" and
"leaked documents" will "unexpectedly reveal" the extent and perfidy
of the "domestic terrorist threat".
Individual leaders of militias and gangs will suddenly become
familiar faces on television screens (like Saddam), and it will be
"discovered" that they have psychotic yet charismatic personalities,
perverted sex practices and shocking drug habits, hidden bank
accounts and racist attitudes, and/or all manner of other sins. The
stage will be set for a paramilitary offensive against them, using
overwhelming force (eg, helicopter gunships and napalm). As with
Waco, it will all end in fire, and the victims will blamed for the
"suicidal outcome".
Such an episode will be exploited to accomplish in one fell swoop a
whole collection of police-state measures. "Emergency" legislation,
passed as usual without debate, will extend POLICE and GOVT powers
still further, especially as regards citizen organizations. The
public will be conditioned to accept military-scale warfare as an
acceptable GOVT "response" to domestic problems. As for the "right
to bear arms", it would not be surprising if even possession of BB
guns and sling shots ended up being a serious felony.
AMENDMENT 4 - Seizures, Searches and Warrants
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
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 warrant shall
issue but upon probable cause, supported by oath or
affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be
searched and he persons or thing to be seized.
Perhaps no other constitutional rights have been more thoroughly
undermined than those guaranteed by Amendment 4. Justified by the
hypocritical "war on drugs and terrorism", non-warrant searches and
seizures are becoming daily more common. One cannot drive on a
highway, or engage in air travel without being subject to arbitrary
search (on the "hunch" of some enforcement official), and with
anything discovered being admissible as evidence later, in support of
whatever charges might subsequently be lodged.
As a matter of personal experience, I once was part of a captive
audience to a talkative police trainee in California. He related
that he was being taught, as part of his official training, that he
and his fellow officers would be expected to "push the envelope on
search and seizure" - to see how far they could go without having
their evidence rejected by the courts. This may be anecdotal, but it
suggests the disrespect for the Constitution that pervades GOVT and
its various agencies.
Amendment 4, for all intents and purposes, is now repudiated: there
is no longer any reasonable security of persons and their effects.
King George's notorious and resented Bills of Attainder gave no more
powers than those now assumed by every highway patrolman and airport
guard. Perhaps one of the most striking aspects of this development
is the lack of public discussion. The US has traditionally prided
itself on its Constitution and Bill of Rights, and one would think
that the final passing of a sacrosanct right would at least be noted
in the press. But "public discussion" is limited to whatever MEDIA
chooses to feature, and "see no evil, hear no evil" is MEDIA's scheme
for preventing public awareness of the extent of the erosion of civil
liberties.
AMENDMENT 5 - Criminal Proceedings, Condemnation of Property
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
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 rising 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
offense 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 or life , liberty, or property, without
due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public
use without just compensation.
This amendment has been undermined in several aspects. Double
jeopardy has become routine, with acquittals in State courts
frequently being followed by convictions in Federal court on
closely-related "civil rights" charges. Citizens have been
frequently compelled to bear witness against themselves by being
forced by the courts to give evidence in a case against a third
party, only to find subsequently that their testimony became grounds
for their own prosecution on related charges. In addition,
informants fitted with recording devices are routinely employed to
_suggest_ crimes to police targets, thus entrapping them into
planning crimes and incriminating themselves on tape. A person's
private property has become subject to confiscation without due
process or compensation, if there is a "reasonable" _suspicion_ of
drug dealing; and the mere possession of large amounts of cash is
considered "presumptive evidence" of guilt.
The conspiratorial stratagems employed NWO, GOVT, and MEDIA in this
case have been diverse. Liberals and civil-rights activists were the
unwitting accomplices in the implementation of double jeopardy,
through GOVT exploitation of their outrage over shocking acquittals
in Southern State courts during the sixties. Compelling self-
incriminating testimony has employed more stealthy tactics, by simply
being adopted, without public fanfare, as a practical tool in GOVT's
arsenal against the citizenry. As with arbitrary search and seizure,
the stratagem used to justify arbitrary confiscation and entrapment
has been the "war on drugs".
AMENDMENT 6 - Mode of Trial in Criminal Proceedings
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right
to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State
and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which
district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be
informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be
confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory
process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the
assistance of counsel for his defense.
A whole array of sophisticated tactics are being employed in the
conspiracy by Defendants to undermine and even eliminate the right to
trial by jury. One tactic has involved victimization of immigrants.
Under the covering fire of MEDIA-encouraged hostility toward "job
stealing" immigrants, policies have been adopted by GOVT whereby
immigrants can be deported by "star chamber" proceedings where they
are not allowed to appear, to see the alleged evidence, nor even to
be informed of the charges against them. Not only is this unjust
toward immigrants, who may have paid taxes and lived law-abiding
lives for years in the US, but it contributes further to a general
disrespect for the principles of limited government on which the
Constitution and nation were based.
The right of a defendant to be confronted by his or her accusers has
been undermined in the case of crimes against children, and more
recently in some cases of rape and stalking. The unwitting
accomplices in these cases have been well-meaning citizens who
rightfully are repelled by crime victims being subjected to upsetting
confrontation by their assaulters. As usual, there is some apparent
justice behind each piecemeal erosion of civil liberties, but when we
stand back and see the overall result, we are left with an
increasingly vacuous Bill of Rights.

-=-=-=-=-=-=~-~=-=-=-=-=-=-
An additional impediment to fair jury trial is the pervasiveness of
GOVT secrecy. Relevant GOVT documents and witnesses are often
declared to be "out of bounds" based on "security" requirements or
"executive privilege". Occasionally this results in dismissal of
prosecution, as is appropriate Constitutionally, but in too many
cases GOVT-friendly judges are willing to rule that the unavailable
information or witnesses are "irrelevant" to the defense.
The tactics we have seen thus far, regarding right to a fair jury
trial, have been piecemeal actions, a gradual chipping away of the
right from various directions, aimed at particular people or types of
crimes.
More recently a wholesale campaign has been launched against the
general right to trial by jury, a campaign employing state-of-the-art
propaganda techniques, and most probably involving various kinds of
covert tampering in the process of particular notorious trials.
The most notable of these trials have been that of the police
officers who were taped beating up Rodney King in Los Angeles, and
the infamous OJ Simpson trial. To be sure, the events that led to
these trials occurred spontaneously. But at some point the cases
were identified as being exploitable as anti-jury trial propaganda,
and a carefully orchestrated MEDIA circus was organized and
presented, with who-knows-what-degree of behind-the-scenes assistance
from GOVT agents, crime laboratories, and (witting or unwitting)
accomplices on the prosecution staff.
To begin with, the unprecedented amount of coverage devoted to these
cases, especially the OJ case, demands a credible explanation. The
justification of "popular demand" is highly questionable: as the
trial dragged on, more people were complaining about their favorite
shows being cancelled than were calling in to say they wanted the
gavel-to-gavel coverage to continue. I suggest to you, ladies and
gentlemen of the jury, that MEDIA produced the circus-trial shows
because it wanted full national attention devoted to the proceedings,
so that wholesale public disrespect for the jury process could be
promulgated by the subtle spins carefully engineered into the
coverage of the trial.
Just to pick one incident as an example, consider the dramatic moment
when OJ tried on the famous glove, and (surprise) found that it
didn't fit. How could anyone have been fooled by that charade? Is
OJ's hand size supposed to be a federal secret? Was the prosecution
staff so brain-dead that it couldn't measure the glove beforehand and
realize it couldn't possibly fit? Admittedly, OJ must ultimately
have been given the opportunity (or perhaps have been required) to
try on the glove, but why did the prosecution allow the circumstances
to be so dramatically favorable to the defense? Why didn't they
defuse the drama by pointing out beforehand that the glove might have
shrunk while in storage, and state loudly and clearly they didn't
think the test would have any significance?
This one example is hardly conclusive, but the trial was full of
absurdly incompetent and unprofessional prosecution behavior, from
dubious crime-lab procedures, to lying detectives. For such a high
profile case, with everyone's performance visible to millions, it is
very difficult to swallow the charade as mere inadvertent bungling.
In fact there were two trials going on, one in the courtroom, with an
official jury, and another on television, with the audience as jury.
The white members of the audience, generally speaking, focused on the
question of the probable guilt vs. innocence of OJ; the black members
of the audience, generally speaking, focused on the revelations of
prosecution wrong-doing.
As a result, blacks generally felt the eventual not-guilty verdict
was justified, while most whites came to the conclusion that it was a
travesty of justice. In the first Rodney King trial, these ethnic
predispositions were reversed, with blacks outraged at the not-guilty
verdict against the baton-happy officers, while whites were more
outraged by the expression of rage that followed in the streets of
LA's black community. For blacks, the Rodney King episode was about
police lawlessness and jury injustice; for whites the episode was
about black lawlessness.
As we shall see later in this indictment, the ethic factionalism
generated by these sophisticated MEDIA propaganda techniques serves
various objectives in the general conspiracy to install a police
state. As regards trial by jury, the net result of the two trials
was that nearly everyone (of whatever ethnicity) who saw both trials
came away with a greatly shaken faith in the justice of the jury
system. Thus public opinion has been painstakingly softened up for
further undermining of amendment 6.
Just the other day, on an American news program rebroadcast on late-
night BBC, I saw the first indications of how this softening-up campaign
is to be followed up. The program reported that Americans are
"beginning to wonder" if trial by jury still works in our "modern
age", and suggested that modern trials are "too complex" for the
public to understand. Recent "famous trials" were mentioned, and it
was noted that many people (surprise) "doubted" that justice had been
done.
I suggest to you, ladies and gentlemen, that the campaign to
drastically undermine jury trial is now entering high gear, and that
GOVT will begin to aggressively "respond to public pressure" to
"reform" the "antiquated" jury system, in the alleged interests of
"justice" and "efficiency". In actual fact, the result of such
"reform" can only be increased GOVT power relative to the citizenry.
AMENDMENT 7 - Trial by Jury
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
In suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall
exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be
preserved; and no fact tried by jury, shall be otherwise
re-examined in any court of the United States than according to
the rules of common law.
As we have seen in the case of persons, this right to trial in civil
cases has already been severely undermined: property can be
confiscated without trial (or any other due process) if "suspicion of
drug dealing" can be conjured up by some police department - and such
confiscations have become a welcome and steady source of
supplementary funding in many police jurisdictions.
But this amendment is undergoing attack from a different direction as
well, and for quite different reasons. The motivation for this
second attack is NWO displeasure at the large awards that juries
frequently grant to victims of corporate negligence. Particular
cases are selected, where the propaganda value is deemed favorable,
and articles are planted in the media (the Readers Digest being one
favorite venue) which skillfully discredit the jury award system.
AMENDMENT 8 - Involuntary Servitude
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed,
nor cruel and unusual punishment inflicted.
Justified by the "war on drugs and crime", and assisted by an ongoing
deluge of slanted fictional police dramas and sensationalized news
reports of repeat offenders, mandatory sentencing and three-strike
laws have made a mockery of Amendment 8. Life imprisonment for
stealing a pizza is perhaps the most dramatic example of how far
"cruel and unusual punishment" has progressed.
Part of the supporting propaganda campaign for draconian sentencing
is based on a mythology of "crime proneness" and even "crime genes",
reminiscent of the genetic theories of Nazi Germany. This mythology
has encouraged the attitude that prison is a place to permanently
house certain segments of the population (mostly blacks and latinos),
rather than a place where a "debt to society" is paid followed by a
return to society.
Prison construction has become a high-growth industry in the US, and
the prison population is being exploited as a source of cheap labor,
undercutting civilian workers and adding to the unemployment problem.
The title "Involuntary Servitude" is appropriate for Amendment 8, as
the consequence of its infringement is turning out to be a form of
neo-slavery, with prisons operating as profitable "plantations" for
corporate employers.
