- As reported by no less than the mainstream media's central
planning and administrative organization's publication, Editor & Publisher,
on the occasion of a meeting of the National Press Club in Washington,
D.C. on January 23rd
- , four star General Michael V. Hayden, the former national
director of Bush's National Security Agency, demonstrated his total and
complete ignorance of the Fourth Amendment of the Bill of Rights of the
United States Constitution.
-
- Recall that it was General Hayden's NSA that was charged
by Bush with the responsibility and Herculean task of spying on all Americans
without search warrants. This is in violation of the requirements
of that very same Fourth Amendment. It is the Fourth Amendment that
requires a warrant be issued by a judge based upon probable cause.
While being questioned in his appearance at the NPC, Hayden insisted that
probable cause was not part of the Fourth Amendment, and that rather, the
key operative term was "unreasonable searches." My, my,
how very convenient for the NSA and its leaders!
-
- By relying completely on that cherry-picked term and
minor segment of the Amendment's wording, definable as such by its being
completely open to unlimited interpretation by tyrants and despots such
as Hayden and Bush, it is they who get to determine what is "reasonable."
-
- Is it reasonable to torture innocent men, women and children,
even if no charges can be proven against them?
-
- Is it reasonable to arrest and detain American citizens
indefinitely without charges being stated against them, depriving them
of legal counsel, and depriving them as well of a fast and speedy trial
in a court of law by a jury of one's peers?
-
- Is it reasonable to refuse providing information and
documents to the People's Congress as requested by them concerning a Presidential
Defense Briefing held ten days after 9-11 establishing that neither Saddam
Hussein nor Iraq had anything to do with 9-11?
-
- Is it reasonable to carpet bomb an entire city with internationally
banned napalm and white phosphorous in retaliation for the "murder"
of four $1,000-a-day mercenaries?
-
- Is it reasonable to invade other nations on the say-so
of other nations?
-
- Is anything the Bush administration does reasonable?
-
- Yet, we are to turn over all our rights and freedoms
to the demonstrated "reasonableness" of people like Bush, Cheney,
Rove, Rumsfeld and Rice!
-
- What of those know-it-all arrogant and elitist government-is-law-and-law-is
government statists, either left or right-wing, who offer that ignorance
of the law is no excuse and therefore no defense? Isn't it curious
how the American political State reserves for itself a defense not allowed
to the rest of US?
-
- But here's the real kicker in this NSA-General Hayden
gaffe! Check out this fascist jackboot's education: both a BA and
MA from Duquesne University! Are you sitting down?! BOTH degrees
are in AMERICAN HISTORY!!!
-
- Consider all the degrees and education of Alberto Gonzales,
or Dr. Condoleezza Rice, or that of child torture advocate and UC Berkley
law professor, John Yoo. These highly educated bastards would gleefully
have a child's testicles crushed to ensure our safety. And if any
Rush Limbaugh fan needs that kind of protection and security, they are
using up vital oxygen, water and food supplies that could be put to better
use by the human race!
-
- Bush appointed this highly educated fascist moron as
head of the NSA and then ordered him to spy on US! Vital documents
repeatedly requested by the People's Congress have been consistently denied
to them by Bush's secret, fascist administration! They need to get
into your home, your papers, and your personal effects to keep you and
your family safe; but they refused to give even the 9-11 Commission documents
requested by them. It is therefore safe and just to assume that any
and all charges against the Bush administration are not only justified,
but very likely true!
-
- The more I see and hear of the torturers, kidnappers,
spy spooks, mass murderers and professional killers of the Bush regime,
the more I am convinced that the so-called terrorist attacks we abbreviate
as "9-11" were perpetrated totally by the butchers and mass murdering
planners of this administration of international criminals!
