how you doing? I’m Alex Jones,”

“You can’t go in there,” a security
official promptly told the
Infowars team.
“That’s fine. This is Molly… I understand,
we’re evil Americans.
This is an occupation force. I’ve
got it,” Jones retorted.
His words were calculated, not exaggerated. It WAS
an occupation force taking over ordinary life. The perpetual
emergency of a potential terrorist threat has become
enough of a rationale in the eyes of the State to
supersede ordinary procedures, established and guaranteed
rights and even common sense.
Feds Declare

People
It was the people who ordained the government by
consent, and the several States which agreed to form
the federal government of the United States. Yet, everywhere
in America, from the TSA at airports to highway
checkpoints and now VIPR squads checking passengers
at train and bus depots, a paranoia about the potential
for danger has swamped the mentality of those watchers

country. In the hysteria surrounding highly publicized
attacks, however, that system has lost sight of the freedoms
so rare and cherished in these United States.
It’s just as founding father Ben Franklin long ago

a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty
nor safety.” In this modern era, the attempt to establish
security has completely unraveled our rights and

and Constitution to safeguard them. History is full of
rulers and monarchs capable of dominating their populations.

the possibility for real freedom-- for those wise
enough to keep it.
