Eric is tired of listening to the same old, "Go no where - eat meet and retreat, " tripe continually regurgitated by those aggravated by the Unconstitutional acts of the government who advise everyone to re-educate their neighbors - it hasn't happened in forty years and, lets face it, it ain't ever going to happen. It is time to take a hard look at what does not work and why, discard the proven unworkable and employ the realistic. Eric fairly well agrees with the ...

Camp Six under construction at Guantanamo BayA report issued by the UN's Human Rights Commission on Thursday called for the closing of the U.S. military detention center at Guantanamo Bay. When asked about the report, U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan said that while he does not agree with everything in it, he supports its main conclusions. Mr. Annan said sooner or later there will be a need to close Guantanamo and it will be up to the U.S. government to do it "as soon as possible." U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld indicated on Friday that the facility will not be closed, and he criticized the report ...

Feb 17, 2006, 07:27 Those bagpipes you hear playing in the background provide a much-needed funeral dirge for freedom, which died this week at the hands of the United States Congress. Freedom has been on its deathbed for about five years now, mortally-wounded in the post-9/11 frenzy that put political expediency above the Constitution and gave paranoia supremacy over what used to be guarantees of individual rights for all Americans. Freedom went on the endangered-species list in the hours following the 9/11 attacks when President George W. Bush turned to attorney general John Ashcroft and said "John, take whatever steps you feel are necessary to make sure something like this ...

The Farce on Capitol Hill For those who were unable to watch the BATFE Congressional Hearings, JPFO has an audio recording available for download at http://www.jpfo.org/batfehearings.htm . We anticipate aquiring a transcript of the hearing by early next week. Despite the ostensible purpose of the proceedings -- to investigate allegations of abuse by ATF agents -- a fair amount of airtime was spent on the subject of private sales at gunshows, or "closing the gun show 'loophole'." One firearms dealer suggested all private sellers be required to retain a copy of the purchaser's ID, while a Congressman suggested requiring background checks on all private purchases. One must ...

Mark Edward Marchiafava did not break the law in Gonzales, La. on January 28, 2006. But nonetheless, he was handcuffed, arrested, and his firearm, which he was legally carrying in the open on his side that day, was confiscated and not returned.I don't know Mr. Marchiafava very well. We have had several email communications, but nothing more than that. We have not always agreed, and sometimes our discussions got heated. But what I do know is that Mr. Marchiafava's right to keep and bear arms and his property rights were violated by the Gonzales, La. police.When I deployed with the National Guard to New Orleans in support of relief and recovery efforts after Hurricane Katrina, I remember a ...

Republican Sues Bush, Cheney, NSA, TSA for Illegal Surveillance, Wiretapping

Scott Tooley, a Republican, and former Congressional aide and law school graduate, educated at renowned Christian universities, has filed suit against the President, Vice President and relevant federal agencies for their illegal surveillance programs. According to the complaint, the Bush-Cheney Administration initiated numerous illegal and perpetual surveillance methods on Mr. Tooley and his family after he was incorrectly placed on the TSA's "selectee" or watch list. Mr. Tooley's case is unique because the suit alleges the Bush Administration has used additional illegal surveillance methods on him in addition to the illegal wiretapping. Mr. Tooley is also the first Republican ...
Supreme Court to Rehear Whistleblower Case [so the new justice can break a tie]

(02-17) 09:47 PST WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Supreme Court said Friday that it will again hear arguments in the free-speech case of a whistleblower, apparently so that the new justice can break a tie. The appeal was among about 20 that were heard, but not resolved, before Justice Sandra Day O'Connor retired late last month and was replaced by Samuel Alito. The Bush administration wants the court to use the case to make it harder for government whistleblowers to win lawsuits claiming retaliation. Justices had seemed conflicted last October when they took up the appeal involving Los Angeles County prosecutor Richard Ceballos, who asserted he was demoted for trying to expose a lie by a ...

But Judge Orders Justice Department to Turn Over Documents Friday, February 17, 2006; A06 The Bush administration helped derail a Senate bid to investigate a warrantless eavesdropping program yesterday after signaling it would reject Congress's request to have former attorney general John D. Ashcroft and other officials testify about the program's legality. The actions underscored a dramatic and possibly permanent drop in momentum for a congressional inquiry, which had seemed likely two months ago. Senate Democrats said the Republican-led Congress was abdicating its obligations to oversee a controversial program in which the National Security Agency has monitored perhaps thousands of ...

Patriot Act renewal clears hurdle in Senate

WASHINGTON - The White House won two national-security victories in the Senate on Thursday, as the Patriot Act cleared a major hurdle that ensures it will be renewed soon and a compromise eased Republican objections to a secret domestic-wiretapping program, probably ensuring that there won't be a congressional investigation of it. The Senate voted 96-3 to move toward final passage of new civil liberties protections to the Patriot Act, which the White House negotiated with a handful of Republicans. Some Democrats remain convinced that the act, the post-Sept. 11 anti-terrorism law, gives the federal government too much power to intrude into the lives of innocent Americans. It's set to ...

So here's this 78 year old major contributor to the Republicans, the V.P., and the owner of the property, shooting quails. All have the bright orange jackets on, and the V.P. shoots Harry in the chest. 'Oh, I'm sorry Harry,' the V.P. must have said, as Harry lay prostrate on the ground. The V.P.'s docs immediately took care of Harry, and rushed him to the hospital. 'No big deal,' the V.P. must have said. The gal who owns the ranch, told the local press and it got out. Now Harry has a heart attack because a shot ball got into his heart. 'No big deal?' I beg to differ. In order for a shot ball to enter the heart, wouldn't it have to penetrate the rib cage? Doesn't this mean that poor Harry ...

1 hour, 5 minutes ago The United States should shut down the prison for terror suspects at Guantanamo Bay and either release the detainees or put them on trial, the United Nations said in a report released Thursday. The world body also called on the United States to refrain from practices that "amount to torture." The White House rejected the recommendation to shut the prison. "These are dangerous terrorists that we're talking about that are there," spokesman Scott McClellan said. McClellan dismissed the report as a "rehash" of allegations previously made by lawyers for some detainees and said the military treats all prisoners humanely. "We know ...

ST. LEO - The nuns of the Holy Name Monastery say they have been swept into the net cast by the nation's antiterrorism laws. The sisters say the monastery's main bank account was frozen without explanation in November, creating financial headaches and making the Benedictine nuns hopping mad. They were told the Patriot Act was the cause. "I think the Patriot Act is unwise, let's say, and that if it happened to us, it can happen to anybody," said Sister Jean Abbott, the monastery's business manager. "I think people need to know that nobody is safe from, in some cases, really ridiculous scrutiny." The nuns didn't know anything was amiss until Nov. 10, when their checks ...

Marshall Jarrett, the office's counsel, acknowledged the investigation in a letter to Rep. Maurice Hinchey, D-N.Y.

DIGGING INTO GUANTANAMO.... (EVIDENCE AGAINST MOST GITMO PRISONERS BOGUS, AND KNOWN TO BE BOGUS)

DIGGING INTO GUANTANAMO....I'm quite late getting to last week's National Journal cover story about the prisoners being held at Guantanamo Bay, but thanks to Jon Henke at QandO I've now figured out how many separate articles there are (four) and how they relate to each other. Taken together, they tell a chilling story. The basic message from these four pieces is that the evidence against an awful lot of the Guantanamo prisoners isn't just weak, it's known to be flatly false. For example, here's an account of Mohammed al-Tumani, a prisoner who was lucky enough to be assigned a "personal representative" who discovered that his primary accuser was a busy man indeed: Tumani's ...

Is Bush The Lifetime President? Paul Joseph Watson/Prison http://Planet.com | February 11 2006 Those confident in the fact that President Bush will leave office in January 2009 after his second term ends would be wary to check out images posted on the Huffington Post website. During a National Guard ceremony gala on Thursday night, Bush was presented with a life-size marble pedestal of his own head and shoulders. Look closely at the inscription on the statue reads 2001-BLANK, indicating that the date when Bush will leave office isn't yet known, despite the fact that the 22nd Amendment to the US Constitution only allows incumbents to occupy the office of President for a maximum of two ...

February 14, 2006 -- Vice President Dick Cheney will be "formally warned" by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department for his failure to purchase a $7 bird hunting stamp for his Texas hunting license. The warning does not carry any criminal accountability for Cheney's shooting of fellow hunter, Austin attorney Harry Whittington. Cheney quickly paid the $7 stamp fee by check. There are reports from Corpus Christi that Whittington, who is 78 and was hit with buckshot from Cheney's weapon in the face, neck, and chest, is in far more serious condition than is being reported by the White House. Although Whittington was moved from the intensive care unit at Corpus Christi's Christos ...
