Before the dust began to settle around New York City’s twin towers, Washington’s political elites were contemplating the benefits in sheer legislative power a terror attack of such magnitude could bestow upon the benevolent despots of Capitol Hill.
In a secretly recorded 1992 address to the Bilderberg Organization, Henry Kissinger made this statement: “Today’s Americans would be outraged if U.N. troops entered Los Angeles to restore order; tomorrow they will be grateful. This is especially true if they were told there was an outside threat from beyond, whether real or promulgated, that threatened [their] very existence.” Though Kissinger was speaking to potential domination by a world ruling order, his message can be readily applied to the United States alone where “individual rights will be willingly relinquished for the guarantee of [the people’s] well-being, granted to them by their…government.”
Since 9/11, the American people have faced the prospect of another attack, one potentially far more deadly than that which transformed New York. And the federal government has taken advantage of the accompanying fear and uncertainty–both “real and promulgated”–to create legislation devoid of any regard for the Constitutional rights of American citizens.
From the Patriot Act with its massive expansion of governmental authority to gather information to the threat of indefinite incarceration of American citizens by the National Defense Authorization Act of 2012, Congress has initiated an endless assault on the freedoms affirmed in the Bill of Rights. The exchange of news and ideas has been imperiled by numerous legislative attempts to control the free flow of information on the World Wide Web. A bill was introduced in the United States Senate threatening the forced expatriation of anyone believed to be a supporter of terrorism. The Senate has already passed a measure that “…allows the federal government to revoke the passports of anyone accused of owing back taxes.” And New York Senator Charles Schumer has introduced legislation designed to prevent anyone removing their wealth from the United States unless the IRS receives a healthy cut of it first.
Each of these laws and prospective laws represents a direct attack on due process rights, the “…legal requirement that the state must respect all of the legal rights that are owed to a person…” For it is a common theme in each statute that accusation alone is sufficient to warrant the prescribed penalty. No proof of guilt is required; no charge or indictment need be presented. There is no right to a fair and public trial, no right to an impartial jury, no right to appear in or even present a defense, and of course, there is no right to bail.
Without the guarantee of due process, groups and individuals are easy prey for the almost limitless power of the state. And that is the goal of a clear majority of legislators–to allow the government to punish or rid itself of those who disapprove of its laws and methods without the cumbersome, Constitutional requirement of having to prove actual guilt.
Corrupt, power-hungry politicians predictably claim each new assault on liberty to be necessary for the safety and security of the American people. But contrary to Kissinger’s promise of a “grateful” and “willing” public, Americans have not meekly relinquished their rights to the state. Countless lawsuits have succeeded in overturning large portions of offending statutes while the internet and many media organizations have exposed the unconstitutional nature of others. And Americans across the country have armed themselves as they have at no other time in our history.
D.C. criminals will continue the attack on freedom until they are stopped for good. And that day may come far more quickly and decisively than any of their ilk could imagine.

One thing I learned from this article and is Henry Kissinger is a outrageously demented twit. A really sharp college freshman could surpass Kissinger’s supposed wisdom. The man is hugely over-lionized.
hE’S A LEFT-OVER FROM THE NAZIS.
Kissinger is very big in the Bilderbergs. That’s who we need to fear. H Cliinton and Obama went to their convention last year.
More proof that Henry Kissinger is an outrageously demented twit. and hugely over-rated.
Henry Kissinger did more to create the Arab Oil Embargo and the unpredictable skyrocketing oil prices that led to our quickly having not choice but to start printing money, etc… Henry Kissenger is a foreign terrorist; read his words to the “constituency” the Bilderberg people; mastermind talk!
Thank you Western Journalism! National Security Threat Alert: Kissinger!
wHY IS IT THESE OLD BAS**RDS NEVER DIE????
Kissinger has spent decades advancing the “new world order” point of view espoused by Rockefeller and other other Bilderberg minions.
“D.C. criminals will continue the attack on freedom until they are stopped for good. And that day may come far more quickly and decisively than any of their ilk could imagine.”
By ballot or bullet…restoration is coming.
Every family is armed in my neighborhood. haevily armed. A variety of reasons are rushing toward us where we all might need them.
i SAY “GOOD ON YOU” LAKER1
TOO BAD MY NEIGHBORHOOD ISN’T.
What else can that bunch of LAME BRAINED IDIOTS we have elected to govern our country do to us ? Time for some whole sale changes in Washington D/C starting at the top with ***** the clown prince – - OBUMER – - the anointed one *******.. Then on down to those who have claimed the fact of being in office for more than TWO ( 2 ) years . That includes all Senators and Representitives .
Washington, the communists, and muslims are all at war with us. Ovomit is a traitor for giving $20MM to Hamas in 2009, then another $560MM to Hamas in 2012. Congress is complicit in his treason for failing tos top him though they knew what he was doing. This is called Misprision of Treason, and they are ALL guilty of it.
We must defeat all three enemies or we will lose ALL of our freedoms which were bought and paid for with the blood of our Veterans! Allowing our country to be destroyed by any of these enemies is a direct insult to all who have defended America, and like many others, I am prepared to do whatever it takes to restore our Republic, no matter the cost for without it, there IS no America.
>>> WITH ALL DUE RESPECT I’m compelled to ask: EXACTLY WHERE & WHEN do you intend to start that RESTORATION?!?! … The NATO contingents to replace native Americans are already here and imbedded in our military and civil law agencies, and the Russians shall soon be en route;. HOPEFULLY you have more than yourself involved, a well-planned tactical exercise between you and other than our standard lead-launcher weaponry to defend with. Other wise you’re David, looking at Goliath with 5- smooth stones, and HOPEFULLY OUR CREATOR GOD ON YOUR SIDE!!!!.
One of my customers is a police officer he ask me when something happens and he cannot make it home would I protect his family. Will I ask do you know something I don,t He told me they are in training for for anything bad and he will not be able to come home I neewd to know my wife & kids will have somebody looking out for them. Will he gave me more shells & off all things a streetsweeper boy am I readly.
HOPEFULLY you won’t be using that Streetsweeper on him, for lack of ability to ID him, out of the phalanx of ARMORED COPS by whom you’re going to be attacked!!!
What else is new? Go back through world history and see what happened to each of the great world empires. Every one of them descended iinto chaos because a few thought they knew more than all the others, and they thought they knew more than God! They displayed every one of the cardinal sins spoken of in the Scripture. They were above all greedy, proud, lying, deceiving people who were power-hungry. They were also diabolical! They knew how to tickle the people’s ears with their clever propaganda and how to milk the people of their wealth. They were brutal! They coveted the “worship” of the people ["Heil Caesar!" "Heil Hitler!"] and each dictator had his military or military-like groups to “keep the peace.” With the technology of today it is possible to impose such a world government, but it will be destroyed like all the others. No matter how hard these would-be rulers try, they are still NOT God. Nor will they ever be!
Hmm, the Law of the Sea (LOST) [great acronym!] . . . I wonder if these foolish people realize that in one of the coming final “judgments”, the seas (and rivers) will be turned to blood. No life will survive in the sea, no commerce will be carried on, and there will be no food from the sea. There will be disease, famine and chaos. I don’t say so, the Bible does! But then, according to the secular wisdom of today, that’s “a book full of myths and lies!” But history reveals the prophecies therein have been fulfilled one by one with more to come. And “The fool has said in his heart, ‘There is no God’”
Have a nice day!
