State Dept Claims ‘War on Terror is Over’ – So Can We Get Rid of the Police State?

Posted on Apr 25, 2012 in Alphabet Agencies & Operations, Constitutional & Liberty Issues, Police, Military, & War

In an astonishing bit of unexpected news, a senior State Department official has announced, “The war on terror is over.” This stems from the idea, reports the National Journal, that, “it is no longer the case, in other words, that every Islamist is seen as a potential accessory to terrorists.”

That same official continues, “Now that we have killed most of al Qaida, now that people have come to see legitimate means of expression, people who once might have gone into al Qaida see an opportunity for a legitimate Islamism.”

This is great news, isn’t it? If the “War on Terror” is over, then we can repeal and reverse all the ridiculous police state laws that were put in place to protect us from terrorism… right?

I mean, can we now fire the TSA? They were only put in place after the “terror” attacks on 9/11. If the war on terror is over, the TSA is no longer needed (even if you assume they were effective at all, which they weren’t).

Can we now repeal the Patriot Act which was passed out of an urgency to defend America from terrorists?...

Reader Emails: The Declaration of Independence Redux

Posted on Apr 24, 2012 in Blog, Editorials, & Thoughts, Constitutional & Liberty Issues, Political Issues

Kevin Hayden – TruthisTreason.net

I received this in an email from a reader, who asks, ”What would Mr. Thomas Jefferson write today?”  

I found his response to be quite valid and cogent, and certainly worth a read.

A New Declaration of Independence

When frustration and discontent make it necessary for people to change their government and exercise their rightful power to determine the government they want, respect for other people’s opinions requires that they explain why they are dissatisfied with their government.

We believe these truths are self-evident. We believe that all men are created equal. We believe they have natural rights, and that their inherent rights cannot be taken from them. Whether people believe in a Creator or not, we believe that these rights include Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. Men create governments and consent to give them certain powers in order to protect and secure these rights for themselves. Whenever any government jeopardizes this goal, it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish it, and to institute new government founded on those principles and to give it the powers they think will best protect and serve their Safety and Happiness....

HR 1505: Drones, Agenda 21 Land Grab, and Forward Operating Bases

Posted on Apr 24, 2012 in Alphabet Agencies & Operations, Constitutional & Liberty Issues, Political Issues

Kevin Hayden – TruthisTreason.net

House Bill 1505 could be nearing a vote, and it offers a whole lot more than many bargained for.  HR 1505 seeks to implement one of the most extensive increases in Police State power that I’ve seen in a long time, not to mention furthering the UN’s Agenda 21.

The intent of this bill is to prohibit the Secretary of the Interior and the Secretary of Agriculture from taking action on public lands which impede the border activities of the Secretary of Homeland Security.  One might simply think it is Congress’ way of making sure that Border Patrol can operate freely and unimpeded while preventing terrorism and illegal immigration.

In reality, this bill serves to decimate the US Constitution, negate the 10th Amendment, and infringe upon local, county, and state jurisdiction by giving 100 miles of land adjacent to any international border directly to Homeland Security without any recourse or oversight.

Section 2, (b) (1)

Metro Bus Program: Undercover TSA Agents Searching Bags, Interrogating Passengers

A new program in Houston will place undercover TSA agents and police officers on buses to perform bag searches, watch for “suspicious activity,” and interrogate passengers in order to ‘curb crime and terrorism’.

Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee unveiled the program, labeled Bus Safe.

Hayden’s Note:

Welcome to the Police State.  Officers will now search your bags, question your motives, and invade your constitutional privacy in the name of preventing “terrorism” on buses and trains, via the criminal-laden TSA.  In reality, it is a conditioning effort.

It would not end pretty if I were riding the bus and was harassed by TSA goons, frisked without probable cause, or even reasonable suspicion, and questioned as if I were a common thug. I would likely end up in jail with severe injuries.  Let’s see… 1st, 4th, and 5th Amendment violations so far…

“While local law enforcement agencies focus on overall safety measures noted above, representatives with the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) will also be on hand, lending their counter-terrorism expertise and support during the exercise,” states the press release....

I’m about two hours away from finishing Mocking Jay, the last book of The Hunger Games trilogy. I wasn’t planning on reading the books, but once I got wind that there were some libertarian themes contained therein I figured…welllll, ok. So, do the books make up some sort of libertarian manifesto? One might think so based on thisthisthisthis, and this.

My take? I was pleasantly surprised. I kept waiting for the typical progressive themes of “Yeah, these big-government types over here are bad, but these big-government types over here are good.” Instead, you get the pleasing “These big-government types over here are bad, and these others that you thought would be good? Well, maybe they aren’t any good either.” There does seem to be a pervading message that if all these power-hungry leaders would just leave people alone, they could take care of themselves and be just fine, and “just fine” would be worlds better than where they’re at. If you’re already of a mind to loathe the State, these books will give you all the satisfaction you’re looking for, and it’s that much more satisfying to know how many other people are reading them....

Senate Bill 1813: Owe Taxes? Your Passport and Travel is Denied

Posted on Apr 05, 2012 in Alphabet Agencies & Operations, Constitutional & Liberty Issues

Kevin Hayden – TruthisTreason.net

A rather frightening amendment has been tacked onto a Federal highway construction bill.  Senate Bill 1813, proposed by Democratic Senator Barbara Boxer, includes an amendment  that would stop any American citizen from leaving the country based upon a non-judicial determination by the IRS that you owe the Federal government back taxes.

The amendment, Section 40304, was written by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and would authorize the State Department to revoke, deny or limit passports for anyone the Internal Revenue Service certifies as having “a seriously delinquent tax debt in an amount in excess of $50,000.”

Whatever happened to our right to travel?  We have become prisoners within our own country, reminiscent of East Germany and the wall.

Constitutional Attorney Angel Reyes says that’s a violation of due process and is unconstitutional.

“It takes away your right to enter or exit the country based upon a non-judicial IRS determination that you owe taxes,” Reyes told FOX Business. “It’s a scary thought that our congressional representatives want to give the IRS the power to detain US citizens over taxes, which could very well be in dispute.”

Financial Adviser Clark Hodges says the measure is especially concerning given the high number of taxpayers it could affect.

The lead story in Wired magazine for April exposed the Stellar Wind program for its intended purpose: to spy on every jot and tittle of every American citizen’s life all the way down to his “pocket litter:” parking-lot stubs, receipts from McDonalds, tickets from his haircut at Cost Cutters, as well as all the way up to the content of his every e-mail, every Google search, every telephone or cellphone conversation.

Stellar Wind is the code name for an effort approved by President George W. Bush following the September 11, 2001 attacks to mine a large database of communications of American citizens but which was allegedly terminated when Congress pushed back against it.

However, the National Security Agency, awash with funds provided by Congress, is nearly finished constructing its Utah Data Center as the collection point for data provided from around the country and around the world. Its purpose: “to intercept, decipher, analyze and store vast swaths of the world’s communications … [including] all forms of communication, including the complete contents of private emails, cell phone calls and Google searches.” In other words, according to James Bamford, author of The Shadow Factory: The Ultra-Secret NSA from 9/11 to the Eavesdropping on America, when the $2 billion facility (consisting of four 25,000 square-foot buildings full of computer servers and their air conditioning units plus a 900,000 square-foot building to house its technical and administration people) is completed in September, 2013,

…virtually everything one communicates through any traceable medium, or any record of one’s existence in the electronic medium, which these days is everything, will … become the property of the US government to deal with as its sees fit.

OK County GOP Excludes RP Delegates, Supporters Fight Back and Win Majority

Posted on Mar 12, 2012 in Constitutional & Liberty Issues, Political Issues

for TruthisTreason.TV

Ron Paul delegates were being excluded from the Oklahoma County GOP Convention, but by using the establishment’s own rules of order against them, they were able to fight back and gain a majority!

In attendance, and in support of the Ron Paul delegates, were Oklahoma State Representatives Charles Key and Ralph Shortey, along with many influential, local activists.

If you’ve ever been a Ron Paul delegate, you know that the GOP central committees will employ every trick in the book to avoid having to seat Ron Paul delegates. They will freely ignore their own bylaws, apply rules in such a manner as to only exclude Paul delegates, and will liberally employ intimidation tactics through verbal abuse, and even physical manhandling of delegates.

In the end, if everything else fails, they’ll attempt to get you to switch your vote by begging you to be a “team player” and by claiming that Romney is electable and that your dissent will keep Obama in power. - Lew Rockwell’s Blog

No less than six relatives of Presidential candidate Mitt Romney have joined the campaign trail in the race for the GOP nomination, but they’re not supporting the former Massachusetts governor, they’re campaigning for Texas Congressman Ron Paul.

Three of Romney’s relatives will even speak at Idaho caucus sites, declaring their support for Paul in a story that is sure to create a buzz around Paul’s campaign as he looks to pick up his first caucus win on Super Tuesday.

The Paul campaign issued a press release Monday introducing five Romney relatives, then issued another release shortly afterwards noting a sixth.

Hayden’s Note:

Haha. How sad.  Even Mitt’s family members think Ron Paul is the only constitutional, small-government candidate!

Travis Romney, Troy Romney and Chad Romney, all cousins of Mitt Romney, will speak before Ron Paul crowds in Idaho today. Ty Romney and Jared Romney, whose grandfathers are cousins of former Michigan Governor George Romney, the father of Mitt Romney, have also declared their support for Paul.

Originally posted August 17th, 2011

For years, I’ve been involved in various circles of organic gardening, local produce, food co-ops, alternative architecture, and local currencies.  It’s been a passion of mine for quite some time.  In 2008, as I was campaigning for Ron Paul’s Presidential bid, I stumbled across a small website that was offering an experiment in alternative housing, garden co-ops, and liberty-oriented living.  What does that mean, you ask?  I wondered the same thing and looked into it more.

At first, I expected this to be some crazy commune idea and I instantly conjured up images of people living in run-down RVs, huts, and wearing lots of tie-dye.  While there’s nothing wrong with that, it’s not my idea of an ideal neighborhood or living experiment.  But their website was geared towards liberty lovers and self-reliant people in west Texas, so it couldn’t be too bad.

A brief excerpt:

The process involves forming a co-op of people buying “shares” in the community and these people would be granted land use at a minimum of 1 acre per share, for as long as they homesteaded the land.

Judge Andrew Napolitano fires a volley of questions, aimed squarely at the Mainstream Media, the Establishment, and those that lack the ability or desire to question their surroundings.  Fox News unceremoniously canceled his show and he has now been endorsed by Ron Paul as his Vice President.

This is a call to wake those who still believe there is a difference between the so-called Left and Right.  Democrats and Republicans, Liberals and Conservatives: they are one in the same when it comes to Washington, with only minor, petty differences so that you feel as though you have a viable argument in supporting the platforms and actions of those who represent it. Secondly, Michael Scheuer and the Judge lay down heavy artillery on the fact that members of Congress are bought by Israel.

NYPD Must Pay $15 Million for Illegally Arresting 22,000 Thumbnail

NYPD Must Pay $15 Million for Illegally Arresting 22,000

Source: Dominion

For almost 30 years — from 1983 to 2012 — the New York Police Department went about arresting people under laws that state and federal courts had long declared unconstitutional, cuffing and booking almost 22,000 people. In 2010, federal judge Shira A. Scheindlin finally held them in contempt of court. Yesterday, she signed an order approving what is effectively their punishment: a $15 million class-action settlement that could generate individual payments of as much as $5,000.

Those arrested were forced to defend themselves in court and even served jail time for completely lawful behavior. The class action settlement also requires the city to help the courts vacate and seal all convictions stemming from the illegal arrests.

“NYPD used these void laws over the past few decades to target people based on poverty, race and sexual orientation,” said J. McGregor Smyth, an attorney from the Bronx Defenders and a lead attorney for the class. “We are happy that the city has finally taken responsibilities for these abuses, agreeing to pay meaningful damages to its victims and to stop its unconstitutional practices once and for all.”

The three unconstitutional laws under which the NYPD made the illegal arrests prohibited people from loitering to panhandle, to search for sex partners or to wait in a bus or train station.

Do you love America?  Are you against a one world economy and a one world government?  Do you deeply love individual liberty?  Do you believe in conspiracy theories?  If you answered any of those questions affirmatively, then you are a potential terrorist according to a brand new Department of Homeland Security report that was just released in January 2012.

The report is entitled “Hot Spots of Terrorism and Other Crimes in the United States, 1970 to 2008″ was produced by the “National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism” for the Department of Homeland Security.

As you will see detailed later on in this article, the most shocking part of this report is when it discusses the “ideological motivations” of potential terrorists.  The report shamelessly attempts to portray red-blooded Americans that love liberty and that love their country as the enemy.  Once upon a time, deeply patriotic Americans were considered to be the backbone of America, but today they are considered to be potential terrorists.

And this report is yet another example of how the definition of “terrorism” has changed.  A decade ago, the entire focus of the “war on terror” was on radical Muslims and we were told that we had to send our boys and girls to the other side of the world to defeat them....

Something big and game-changing happened in Las Vegas last Monday and Tuesday and it was far too good to just let it ‘stay in Vegas’.  A first-time ever gathering of over 115 Constitutional County Sheriffs (representing over 3% of America’s sheriffs) from 35 states came together to reaffirm their oaths of office and to learn how to better defend the Constitution of the United States from all enemies, especially domestic.  There were also several good deputy sheriffs and police chiefs in attendance.  Of note, five California sheriffs attended, all from Northern California, who have been fighting the Federal Government over land, water, and forest rights.

Myself and a couple dozen Patriots from Oath Keepers and other American patriot groups also attended to lend our support to this historic gathering and to let these brave sheriffs know that We the People stand with them in their ever-increasing battles against over-reaching federal, state, and local government politicians and agencies.  We all met and stayed at the Tuscany Hotel for 2 ½ days of strategizing, networking, and classes from top national Constitutional experts and several sheriffs who have been engaged in the struggle to protect their citizens and uphold the 10thAmendment (state’s rights) against the Federal Government....

“Citizens may resist unlawful arrest to the point of taking an arresting officer’s life if necessary.” Plummer v. State, 136 Ind. 306.

This premise was upheld by the Supreme Court of the United States in the case: John Bad Elk v. U.S., 177 U.S. 529. The Court stated: “Where the officer is killed in the course of the disorder which naturally accompanies an attempted arrest that is resisted, the law looks with very different eyes upon the transaction, when the officer had the right to make the arrest, from what it does if the officer had no right. What may be murder in the first case might be nothing more than manslaughter in the other, or the facts might show that no offense had been committed.”

“An arrest made with a defective warrant, or one issued without affidavit, or one that fails to allege a crime is within jurisdiction, and one who is being arrested, may resist arrest and break away. lf the arresting officer is killed by one who is so resisting, the killing will be no more than an involuntary manslaughter.” Housh v....

Why I Resigned from the Police Department

Why I resigned from the Police Dept.
Category: Blogging

I know many of you are wondering why I resigned from the New Orleans Police Dept. so abruptly.  Some have asked me if I was under criminal investigation, or similar.  Some have asked me if I’ve lost my mind; if I was ‘okay’ or needed some help.

The answer is a resounding NO.

I resigned, in part, due to my frustrations with a system built around obvious and inherent problems.  I finally said ‘enough is enough’ when I woke up one day and could truly see this department for what it really was and how most police officers turn a blind eye to the injustices occurring at their very own hands.  I realized that I joined this police department in order to effect change; to ultimately help people in need and leave this community in a better state than which I found it in.  But sadly, after 5 years…I’m done.  Some Officers have called me a ‘quitter’ or that I lacked the fortitude to be a police officer.  Even the Officers who say I’m one of the best cops they’ve ever known still question my motives with a degree of disgust and anger.  I politely shrug their ego-driven hostilities off my shoulder and look back on a 5 year career in which I effected massive change on the streets in many neighborhoods, changed countless citizen’s opinions on a very publicly corrupt and flawed police department, and stood my ground during one of the nation’s most unbelievable disasters; Hurricane Katrina....

Cognitive Dissonance – the Story of Why I Resigned from the Police Dept.

Kevin Hayden – TruthisTreason.net

I urge you to watch this short video regarding cognitive dissonance.  I was a victim of this and overcame it by having my eyes opened to the truth.  I spent 5 years as a police officer working narcotics and street crimes.  I was the pro-Bush, pro-War, official 9/11 believing, clean cut police officer.  I led my district in felony and drug arrests.  I was a model “law enforcement officer” instead of a quality peace officer.

And after waking up and realizing the insane things I was doing, I tried to change the system from within.  I thought that by remaining a cog in the great machine, I could somehow steer it and change directions.  I finally came to the realization that it is far too powerful and my role far too minuscule.

I immediately resigned and embarked upon the path that ultimately led me to create TruthisTreason.net.

I now find myself scattered across the spectrum of beliefs, speaking out against the war on drugs, encouraging others to become active in their local politics, talking about food freedom, radical self-reliance, liberty and personal sovereignty, and far too many other topics to even mention....

Hayden’s Note and Opinion at the End

For the better part of two decades FEMA detention camps were believed to be a figment of tin foil hat wearing conspiracy theorists. As more information over the years has been made available through alternative news researchers, it is becoming increasingly clear that the government has been taking steps for quite some time to ensure a rapid and effective response in the event of a national disaster or U.S. military deployment on American soil.

As many of our readers know, the U.S. Senate recently passed the National Defense Authorization Act, which, it has been argued, authorizes the establishment of domestic war zones and the subsequent detention of those who are suspected of engaging in terrorist-related activity - including U.S. citizens. What you may not know, however, is that just days after the passage of the act reports are surfacing that the Federal Emergency Management Agency, under the auspices of the Department of Homeland Security, is requisitioning private contractors to provide services for government, defense & infrastructure pertaining specifically to FEMA activities with respect to emergency services....

At the end of this article is a copy of the proposed state sovereignty amendment.

Just following Congress, the 2012 presidential campaign and the inability of citizens to influence government policy makes it clear to every American how broken the US political system has become. A few powerful interests run the entire show and the American people are being forced down a dark road to economic destruction. History shows us that Washington is immune to conventional national political action under the present system. What can freedom loving Americans do?

• We can’t change Washington because Congress is owned and controlled by special interests.

• Neither can we take over the establishment control of either political party as the media elites can break, sideline or ignore any candidate that threatens the elite interests.

• Third party efforts at the national level are doomed to failure and an ineffective tool for promoting freedom principles when compared to the successful Ron Paul campaign effort inside the GOP....

There are those today who would claim that the lifeblood of a nation is dependent upon the graces of its government.  That government is the focal point of cultural growth, and that we as citizens should respect it as such.  I would be more inclined to agree if the public did not so easily confuse the ideals of leadership with the actions of criminals.  That is to say, regardless of what we wish our government to be, bureaucracies rarely, if ever, embody the spirit of the common man (a necessity for any system that purports to defend the citizenry).  Instead, bureaucracies almost inevitably deteriorate into vehicles for the perpetuation of tyranny driven by the very worst of all stewards; elitist minorities with delusions of godhood.

Unfortunately, despite this fact, the masses often treat these industrious vermin and the plagues of society that they build with the same reverence as they would a sincere and honorable body politic.

Government is not nor has it ever been a foregone conclusion.  Government is not concrete.  It is not tangible.  It is not the foundation of society.  Instead, government is an abstraction; a fantastic dream of collectivist paternity in the face of individual hardship.  Those who fear to wander the world on their own courage, strength, and merit, seek to elevate and empower “decision makers” to provide the comfort of limited liability.  Through this process, governments are created out of thin air.  All governmental authority is, thus, HANDED to those in positions of leadership.  What makes one man a “king” and another man a “peasant”?  Only the people of a country, and where they choose to place their personal control; in their own hands, or the hands of others....

SB 1867, Worldwide Indefinite Detention and the Senators Who Betrayed You

Posted on Nov 30, 2011 in Constitutional & Liberty Issues, Featured Articles, Police, Military, & War, Political Issues

Kevin Hayden – TruthisTreason.net

‎61 senators have betrayed you this week. They authorized, as an amendment to the Defense Authorization Act, the indefinite suspension of Habeus Corpus (again) and the ability to detain American citizens without charge or trial, anywhere in the world. We are now officially a police state and our country is considered a new part of the “battlefield.”

The worldwide indefinite detention without charge or trial provision is contained within S. 1867, which was passed on the Senate floor Monday. The bill was drafted in secret by Sens. Carl Levin (D-Mich.) and John McCain (R-Ariz.) and passed in a closed-door committee meeting, without even a single hearing.

This provision is almost identical to what John McCain tried last year with Senate Bill 3081, which I outlined in my article, S. 3081 Enemy Belligerent Interrogation – A Sick Merry-Go-Round

The names of your seditious Senators are as follow:

A Letter to the Southern Poverty Law Center, from a Montana “Extremist”

I’ll be the first to admit, people who refuse to compromise their principles under any circumstances can be utterly terrifying. Defiance, in its purest form, requires fearlessness; a brand of fearlessness we have little experience of today. For many in our society, fearlessness in the face of immeasurable opposition is unthinkable, and (unjustly) considered a sign of “madness”, or of “extremism”. To go against the tides of a culture, a collective, and point out its crimes and inconsistencies, is so counter to what they have been conditioned to expect, any sign of dissent triggers in them feelings of confusion and fury.

Hayden’s Note:

I can attest to this very topic.  During my last few years as a police officer, I began to “go against the grain” and became rather anti-authoritarian.  I started railing against the system and pointing out the inconsistencies, the flaws, and the irrational, illegal behavior.  And for all of my trouble, I was met with violent hostility from my fellow officers, cast out from the “inner circle,” and viewed as one of “them…” and no longer a part of the, “Us…”  When power-hungry cogs in a machine are shown how little they mean to the overall mecha, they begin to break down. 

They begin to doubt themselves and their mission.  In order to overcome this, they ramp up their lawlessness, their violence, and withdraw into their ego.  They retreat to the security of the “group” or collective and cast their fingers towards the person countering their hypocrisy – toward the one pointing out their crimes.   I lost many police friends due to conversations about 9/11, upholding ones’ oath, arrest quotas, the War on Drugs, and many other “sensitive” topics....

1 Marine Sgt. vs 30 NYPD, Preaching the Truth

He gets my respect.  As a former NOPD officer, I have to agree with this man.  I’ve been face to face with ruthless killers. I’ve stared down the barrel of several guns and still lived. I chased armed men for a living - every single night for 5 years in one of America’s most violent, twisted cities…

And there is a big difference between protesters and violent criminals.  I may not agree with the Occupy movement as a whole, but I respect their right to protest anything they want.  I have stayed away from most protests because if some police thugs unlawfully put their hands on me for exercising my rights, it would turn into a violent encounter and I have history, law, and the Supreme Court on my side.

You’ll notice that the NYPD don’t dare put their hands on this man because they know it would turn into a riot.  They also know deep down inside that what they are doing is wrong.

Sometimes, I just don’t have the words to describe the utter nonsense I hear from some people.

This man seems to be a “leader” within his small Occupy group as I’ve seen him on NUMEROUS YouTube videos leading marches, chants, general assemblies, and more.  There are hundreds, if not thousands, who follow this blond-haired, pimple-faced Sociology major who espouses an incredible disdain for personal freedom and liberty.  Instead, he promotes a State-led, subserviant lifestyle “where the government injects cash into people’s bank accounts.”  What he forgets is that the Constitution clearly states that Congress shall have the power of the purse, not a private banking cartel who works on Wall Street; the very street he claims to be protesting!

“Freedom from want…,” as he describes it.  I call it a lazy Utopian fantasy.  Continued below…

But that’s just my opinion.  I’m sure Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, Andrew Jackson, Benjamin Franklin, and many more would agree with me.  Keynesian economics and quantitative easing has not, nor will it, help the economy....

Occupy’s 2nd Bill of Rights – Sparking the Next Civil War

Kevin Hayden – TruthisTreason.net

As the Occupy Wall Street events continue to expand and unfold, I’ve tried to keep tabs on my local event, Occupy OKC.  When this first started, I was elated at the idea of the common People finally getting off of their couch and protesting their grievances towards an out of control government.  But I was sadly mistaken.  Instead, as each new day passes, I hear and see more of these protesters demanding rights and privileges that I would be willing to take up arms to fight against.  The very problems that got me involved in politics and protesting are what most of the Occupy protesters are wanting.

“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquillity of servitude more than the animating contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.” – Samuel Adams

The Second Bill of Rights

I tried to give these groups a chance.  I attended the first few meetings here in Oklahoma City, expecting to hear solutions to how we could end the Federal Reserve, return to sound money so that we may all prosper, and ways in which we could wrangle some of the power from Wall Street and the international bankers who have been in control for so many decades....

‘Food, Not Bombs’ Group Harassed by Law Enforcement for Giving Away Free Apples

I posted this on the TruthisTreason.net Facebook page, but figured I’d make an actual article out of it since it was so well received.

In this video, Adam Kokesh (Formally the host of RT’s Adam vs. The Man) interviews the leader of Food, Not Bombs regarding the Parks Service harassing him for giving away free apples to nearby protesters.  They informed him this was against the law.  However, if he were giving away oranges or bananas, it would be fine.  An interesting bit towards the end is when the leader reveals that his grandfather had actually been a senior Parks Service member and had been responsible for securing the tract of land that was later turned into that particular National Park....

Due Process, Drones, and the Assassination of US Citizens

Hayden’s Note:

As you read this article, please keep in mind that it is the underlying issue that is important.  Your opinion on Iraq, the War on Terror, “al-Qaeda,” and Obama should be left at the door.  What is being discussed here is the unlawful, unconstitutional “hit” that was ordered by our Executive Department.  All US citizens, no matter their current religion, location, idealogy, or actions, are to be given due process.  Our government has made a habit out of using “state secrets” and the War on Terror as an excuse to skirt the Constitution and follow the Rule of Law. 

If you will not question the actions of this government when it unlawfully kills one of its citizens, good or bad, you have no grounds to stand on when it treads upon you and your family.  For further opinion on whether al-Awlaki was still an American citizen, ...
