WAR ON THE CONSTITUTION
By Rafe Husa
We have bombing and war yet there is no declaration of war.
A new Cabinet position (Homeland Security) has been created yet Congress
passed neither
enabling legislation nor has Congress appropriated funding of such, nor
has the Cabinet
Member been confirmed by Congress.
"NO MONEY SHALL BE DRAWN FROM THE TREASURY, BUT IN CONSEQUENCE OF
APPROPRIATIONS MADE BY LAW; AND A REGULAR STATEMENT AND ACCOUNT OF
THE RECEIPTS AND EXPENDITURES OF ALL PUBLIC MONEY SHALL BE PUBLISHED
FROM TIME TO TIME." UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION SEC 9.
We have learned of selective suspension of Habeas Corpus yet no martial
law or state of
emergency has been declared.
"THE PRIVILEGE OF THE WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS SHALL NOT BE SUSPENDED,
UNLESS WHEN IN CASES OF REBELLION OR INVASION THE PUBLIC SAFETY MAY
REQUIRE IT." UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION SEC 9.
Thousands of people have disappeared with not even their lawyers knowing
their
whereabouts.....is it protective custody or internment?
Congress has passed legislation under duress while it was being attacked
by Anthrax mail.
The attacks stopped immediately after Congress passed the "Patriot Act".
The source of
anthrax is openly admitted to coming from US defense laboratories.
Congress did not even get
a chance to read legislation that it has passed let alone debate it.
Congressman Ron Paul (RTX) Said "IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THE BILL WASN'T
PRINTED BEFORE THE VOTE - AT LEAST I COULDN'T GET IT. THEY PLAYED ALL
KINDS
OF GAMES, KEPT THE HOUSE IN SESSION ALL NIGHT, AND IT WAS A VERY
COMPLICATED BILL. MAYBE A HANDFUL OF STAFFERS ACTUALLY READ IT, BUT THE
BILL DEFINITELY WAS NOT AVAILABLE TO MEMBERS BEFORE THE VOTE."
Violations
**The First Amendment right of free speech and association;
**The Fourth No searches without warrants, there does not now exist any
category called
"unreasonable searches and seizures" all searches are effectively legal,
specifically secret
searches;
"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 WARRANTS SHALL ISSUE, BUT UPON PROBABLE
CAUSE, SUPPORTED BY OATH OR AFFIRMATION, AND PARTICULARLY DESCRIBING
THE PLACE TO BE SEARCHED, AND THE PERSONS OR THINGS TO BE SEIZED."
UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION 4TH AMENDMENT.
**The Fifth prohibition against seizure of property without due process
is gone;
"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 ARISING 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 OFFENCE 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 OF LIFE, LIBERTY, OR PROPERTY, WITHOUT DUE
PROCESS OF LAW; NOR SHALL PRIVATE PROPERTY BE TAKEN FOR PUBLIC USE,
WITHOUT JUST COMPENSATION." UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION 5TH AMENDMENT.
**As with the war on drugs, property can be seized be executive order;
people, even citizens,
can be declared or defined terrorist by executive order;
**Organizations, including Citizens, can be declared terrorist or
terrorist linked by executive
order and have their assets seized and membership list confiscated.
**Secret courts disburse secret search warrants, people are charged with
secret evidence
which even their lawyers can not see and are unable to confront or
challenge their accusers.
All of the above was actually legal prior to 911 but will now enter
mainstream.
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." UNITED
STATES CONSTITUTION 6TH AMENDMENT.
Open permission to kill has been given to intelligence agencies (Death
squads organized,
financed and run by the US Gov). Who will decide which of the enemies of
the US GOV is
beyond the pale and need to be exterminated, how long before this horror
strikes home as US
Government certainly has many opponents both presumed and real both at
home and abroad?
One of the internees died with an alleged heart attack. When his body was
autopsied in
Pakistan he had several broken bones and possible internal injuries. Some
internees have
smuggled out letters which describe the pressure to denounce each other
as a way to get out
of isolation and or avoid immigration charges. This has occurred amid
requests from the FBI
to legalize torture.
The Founders saw the constitution as a limiting document on the Federal
government. They
were afraid of exactly the kind of all pervasive intrusive Federal power.
They repeatedly clarified
that the constitution was a restrictive document on the activities of the
Federal Government.
The Constitution, contrary to what the public schools teach, delegates
specific powers to the
Federal government and all others powers belong to either the states or
the people.
The Bill of rights did not give the people any rights (our rights are God
given). Consequently the
bill of rights was a specific restriction on the activities of the
Federal Government to avoid i.e.
"Shall not be infringed (2nd Amend)". According to the debates at the
ratification convention in
Philadelphia they did not see a need for the bill of rights as they saw
the constitution as a very
clear limitation on the Federal Government. But many others who seem to
have a portent of
things to come pushed for the 10 amendments as a way to clearly delineate
the limits of
Federal Power. This is why Patrick Henry and others forced Madison to add
the 9th and 10th
Amendment.
"THE ENUMERATION IN THE CONSTITUTION, OF CERTAIN RIGHTS, SHALL NOT BE
CONSTRUED TO DENY OR DISPARAGE OTHERS RETAINED BY THE PEOPLE." UNITED
STATES CONSTITUTION 9TH AMENDMENT.
"THE POWERS NOT DELEGATED TO THE UNITED STATES BY THE CONSTITUTION,
NOR PROHIBITED BY IT TO THE STATES, ARE RESERVED TO THE STATES
RESPECTIVELY, OR TO THE PEOPLE." UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION 10TH
AMENDMENT.
The Founders had a visceral hatred and distrust of a standing army. They
pushed a sense of
the free American and armed militia as the Republic's defense. They
disliked centralized
power especially of a central military. They created in the revolutionist
a healthy distrust of
Imperial power and imperial armies. Now the image has become full circle.
"THE STRONGEST REASON FOR PEOPLE TO RETAIN THE RIGHT TO KEEP AND BEAR
ARMS IS, AS A LAST RESORT, TO PROTECT THEMSELVES AGAINST TYRANNY IN
GOVERNMENT." Thomas Jefferson papers, 334 (C.J. Boyd, ed. 1950)
"WHAT, SIR, IS THE USE IF A MILITIA? IT IS TO PREVENT THE ESTABLISHMENT
OF A
STANDING ARMY, THE BAND OF LIBERTY..... WHENEVER GOVERNMENTS MEAN TO
INVADE THE RIGHTS AND LIBERTIES OF THE PEOPLE THEY ALWAYS ATTEMPT TO
DESTROY THE MILITIA, IN ORDER TO RAISE AN ARMY UPON THEIR RUINS." -Rep
Eldridge Gerry of Massachusetts, a signer of the Declaration of
Independence-spoken during
floor debate over the second amendment, I annals of congress at 750
(august 17, 1789]
I attended a Flag ceremony in city hall where I saw rows of flags and
solemn faced people.
The Flag poles all had eagles on them. If one were to add a small
swastika in the eagle's
claws this rally would be more like Germany in 1933 rather than America
in 2001.
In summary I wish to raise your attention that while you focus on the war
overseas the war at
home is just as important. On Sept 11 we have turned like the Roman
Republic before us to
Empire. Prior to 911 we had an incipient empire and a formal republic.
After 911 the empire
and empire builders come openly to the fore front while the forms and
walls of the republic are
systematically destroyed. What will be left is a hollow shell of the
former republic and its
institutions.

recognizes, as did
Abraham Lincoln, that the only real threat to American freedom can not
come form any foreign
