Freedom Is Not Free – And Americans Are Poised To Lose Everything, Part II

In part one of this horror story, we discussed NSPD-51 and the Potential for a Coup d’Etat. I would love to say the news is better, but in my opinion, events are taking place that will reshape the America we have all known and cherished, the one spoke of reverently in our history books and still remains the guiding factor in our fight to restore our freedom(s).

120 War Vets Commit Suicide Each Week

Earlier this year, using the clout that only major broadcast networks seem capable of mustering, CBS News contacted the governments of all 50 states requesting their official records of death by suicide going back 12 years. They heard back from 45 of the 50. From the mountains of gathered information, they sifted out the suicides of those Americans who had served in the armed forces. What they discovered is that in 2005 alone -- and remember, this is just in 45 states -- there were at least 6,256 veteran suicides, 120 every week for a year and an average of 17 every day.

Turley: “It Is Rather Clear That What The President Ordered Was A Federal Crime”

The Bush administration has been using the “state secrets” defense in order to have federal law suits challenging their illegal eavesdropping programs thrown out of court. So far, they have been successful; thanks, in most cases, to lazy or partisan judges who have given little or no scrutiny of the validity of their claims which, according to Constitutional law professor Jonathan Turley on Tuesday’s Countdown, are nothing more than unconstitutional attempts to cover up their own federal crimes.

Time's laughable "correction"

Time correction:

In the original version of this story, Joe Klein wrote that the House Democratic version of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) would allow a court review of individual foreign surveillance targets. Republicans believe the bill can be interpreted that way, but Democrats don't.

What the legislation says:

(1) IN GENERAL - Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, a court order is not required for electronic surveillance directed at the acquisition of the contents of any communication between persons that are not known to be United States persons and are reasonably believed to be located outside the United States for the purpose of collecting foreign intelligence information, without respect to whether the communication passes through the United States or the surveillance device is located within the United States.

Email Messages From David Hatch-Bernier, Elaine's Son

Even in prison, she is helping others. There are a couple of girls there with no friends or family to put money into their commissary accounts, so my mother has them do her laundry and she buys them what they need (toothpaste, soap, etc) at the commissary. She makes things like toothbrushes and razors last much longer so she can afford to do that.

What are they doing to Ed? He has responded that for 3 days at the detention center in R.I. he was gassed and had to lie on the floor by the door to be able to breath the air coming in under the door.
