[font=Arial][size=1][font=Arial]Warning To The World About The New America[/font][/size][/font]

[font=Arial][font=Times New Roman][size=1]For years I have told Americans to wake up and see what was happening to their country before it was too late for America. Now it is time for me to tell the world to wake up about America before it is too late for them. [/size]

[size=1]I have been aware of a disturbing change in the US government for the last 12 years. It seems that the world has slept through this change and does not realize what America has become. I will outline some major problems, go into specific subjects and cite examples of how America has changed, yes, we are indeed no longer free. Much of what is written in this report is from my own personal experience. [/size]

[size=1]This is a warning to the world to watch out for the new America. America is no longer the moral guardian you knew it to be, in recent years America has become a tyrant unprecedented. [/size]



[size=1]Control Of Media [/size]

[size=1]The American press can no longer be trusted. When the Government passed the Telecommunications act of 1996, it allowed consolidation of the media and control of all information received by the people to a small group of sources. This showed itself as large media mergers and virtually all information was soon controlled by the same small group of people. In June of 2003 additional legislation was passed which now allows all the news to be controlled from a single source. [/size]

[size=1]The day I typed this I called CN8 live, a national cable news program to speak on the air. They took my personal information including name, address and phone number. They then hung up and called me back to verify that I really was at that address. They then said something that scared me half to death, They said that if I did not stay on subject and say what I told them I would say that they would 'notify the authorities'. I am someone who has called news programs frequently in the past, and that never happened before. It's obviously a new policy. So much for a free press. [/size]

[size=1]Police Brutality [/size]

[size=1]I know a man who manages a store close to where I live. His brother has a sixteen year old boy and seven year old girl. Outside his brother's house some police were beating a man who was laying down on the road and not fighting back. The sixteen year old opened the window and shouted at the police, telling them that they were doing too much and that they did not need to beat the man so hard. [/size]

[size=1]They did not let up, instead they kicked in the door to the house and assaulted the boy. So now they were beating up the man on the street and beating up the kid in the house. The seven year old girl ran to the officer who kicked in the door and tried pulling him off her brother. The officer pushed her away so hard that she hit the wall and broke her arm. It never made the news. This is not an isolated incident, it is the new America. Contrast this with the glossy happy-go-lucky 'police are great and accountable for their actions' media coverage on shows like Real TV and 'Cops', there is much more to the truth than we are allowed to see. [/size]

[size=1]In the past I had heard stories like this from strangers but did not believe them until I heard it from someone I knew well. Indeed the foreign governments who have started to call the US a police state are much more correct than they realize. I am waiting for them to have the courage to say it without retracting comment. [/size]

[size=1]Asset Forfeiture [/size]

[size=1]America has a new policy towards personal property called 'asset forfeiture'. This is the act of confiscating property without a trial. The way it works is this: The police accuse you of a crime and take whatever they say you had in your possession when the alleged crime was committed. This could be a vehicle such as a boat or car, or a computer, or even your house. You have to go to court to prove your innocence to get it back, and if you win your case you have to pay a return fee which is usually 50% of the property value. If they take a car that was worth 12,000 you will have to pay 6,000 to get it back. If you cannot afford the 6,000 they will sell it at auction to 'recover' their 'funds'. If you have a loan or mortgage on the property they sell at auction, you are still obligated to pay the bank for what you no longer have. [/size]

[size=1]This happens frequently and the evidence is easy to find. Go to Google and type the search term "US government auctions" or "asset forfeiture auction" or pick any state and add the word auction. The auctions are everywhere, selling property seized from people who were often judged by the courts innocent. [/size]

[size=1]If you are a property owner with tenants in a 200 room apartment complex and one of the tenants gets arrested in an apartment for possession of drugs or stolen property, or committing a crime such as calling a prostitute to his room, the city or state can take the apartment building away from the owner who was not involved in any way and say that the property committed the crime and therefore needed to be taken. Confiscation of large complexes has happened more than once, confiscation of single family rental houses and private homes is frequent. [/size]

[size=1]Forcing A Crime [/size]

[size=1]It has become common for a judge to force a crime. The way this is done is to issue a civil judgement that cannot possibly be implemented by the person the judgement is against. When the person the judgement is issued against fails to implement the judgement, a civil matter becomes criminal due to 'contempt of court'. This is commonplace in family law when a man is forced to pay ìchild supportî Child support judgements often leave a man with less than 20 percent of his income after taxes, despite the 50% rule. This forces the person the judgement is against to make a decision - pay 'child support' as ordered and suffer severe hardship, often including dependence on friends or being homeless or living in a car or camper, or get behind on "child support" and become a "criminal" due to contempt of court. [/size]

[size=1]Violation Of Ex Post Facto [/size]

[size=1]In the constitutional republic the United States used to be, there was a rule of ex post fato which prevented any government, be it federal state or local from writing retroactive laws. But since 1987 there has been a new and disturbing trend. [/size]

[size=1]The federal government along with many states and municipalities has started to write and enact retroactive laws. As an example, let's say that in 1998 you painted your house and at that time it was legal to paint your house without a permit. If in 2003 your municipality writes a retroactive law that states that you now needed a permit to paint your house, and makes it retroactive to 1995, you will be in violation and guilty of breaking the law in 1998. [/size]

[size=1]Retroactive laws are commonplace now and are usually enacted in the areas of taxes, family policy, and land usage. It is a frequent event now to have people suddenly discover they owe huge sums of money or are now subject to punishment for doing things that were legal when they did them. [/size]

[size=1]The public tolerance of the now commonplace violations of ex post facto has opened an avenue through which governmental bodies are prosecuting people for violations they did not commit, collecting taxes that were never owed and seizing properties which were 'improperly used' in the past. [/size]

[size=1]Legislation Without Representation [/size]

[size=1]Starting in the late 1980's, most states authorized the practice of legislation without representation. It is standard practice now for un-elected people in state agencies to enact policy and write laws that were never voted on, approved, or asked for by the public. Legislation without representation often takes place in secret, with the public unaware of what is happening until the new law is put in place and enforced. This has removed accountability from government and allowed serious abusive practices to be implemented without the presence of any individual or group to be held accountable. [/size]

[size=1]My own personal experience with legislation without representation occurred when I calculated that over 80 percent of my income was being taken in taxes and 'child support' for two children. I called the child support agency and asked them who wrote the laws that made such a thing possible. I wanted to know which senator, representative or other elected official was responsible for enacting such a draconian policy. [/size]

[size=1]The state agent replied: "The child support statutes were enacted by this child support agency and have nothing to do with elected officials. As for the individuals who write the policy, you are not permitted to know who is involved". [/size]

[size=1]This most serious practice, probably the one that has destroyed our freedom the most, is occurring everywhere through many avenues, not only 'child support'. Legislation without representation allows a corrupt government to thrive because the people who write the legislation are employees of the government who work in secret, will never be held accountable and cannot be voted out of office. [/size]

[size=1]In a democracy, the people can effect change by voting the people who are going against their will out of power. Legislation without representation circumvents the democratic process and takes the will of the people out of government. Due to the now common practice of legislation without representation, America can no longer be considered a true democracy. [/size]

[size=1]Road Closures [/size]

[size=1]In the back country they are closing down the roads to limit access. If you get caught riding even a bicycle on the road beyond the barrier, having left you car at the barrier, they will confiscate the bike, the car, and throw you in prison, and you will lose everything 100%. I was familiar with the back country of the intermountain west and noticed that around 1996 the road closures began to happen. I believe the closures are an attempt to de-familiarize the public with alternate routes of escape in the event of a police lockdown or martial law. [/size]

[size=1]They also closed down any road that led to safe water in remote regions. In High School, I had a German teacher who was alive during Hitler's reign and she said that Hitler closed down access to the wilderness areas after the Reichstag was burned which proved to be an effective method of eliminating resistance from the portion of the population which did not agree with him. She warned us to never let it happen here. [/size]

[size=1]Road closures are usually done with very large immovable barriers such as boulders or trenches and signs warning of what will happen if you get caught attempting to travel beyond them. [/size]

[size=1]Citizen Spies [/size]

[size=1]In the name of fighting terrorism, the so-called 'department of homeland security' has employed a network of citizen spies who may have in reality been hired to identify people who are upset with the new government policies. When the Reichstag was burned, Hitler also set up his network of citizen spies. Was Sep11 a Reichstag? One thing is certain, the videos you can download now are not the same as the ones I downloaded on Sep12. Immediately after Sep11 they clearly showed explosives going off in sequence, bringing the buildings down in a perfect demolition wave. Most of the ones you can find now no longer show the explosions, they have been 'photoshopped' out. [/size]

[size=1]Terror is a common tactic or excuse used by oppressive governments to get the people to give up their freedoms for a little bit of security. Hitler used this tactic after the burning of the Reichstag to justify the military actions he took in the opening days of World War II. To keep the population safe from terror, Hitler also employed his network of citizen spies who did little but turn their neighbors in for expressing dissenting views. [/size]

[size=1]Common Police Searches [/size]

[size=1]It has become commonplace now for police to stop people for no reason and search them. This began long before Sep11. This has happened to me personally three times, once at a roadblock, once when I was walking on my way to work, and once when I was sleeping in my van due to homelessness caused by a divorce. It would have happened many times, but I got good at spotting the roadblocks - just look for a traffic jam with evenly timed cars coming toward you in the opposite lane. Normally, the traffic jam would be long enough to allow me to pull a u-turn without being seen. I never did anything wrong, but I hate those road blocks. [/size]

[size=1]Anonymous Accusation [/size]

[size=1]In recent years, Federal, state and local law enforcement bodies have started arresting and punishing people due to anonymous accusations. Now when you show up in court you have no right to know who has accused you of a crime. Without any chance of any repercussions, individuals, groups and organizations now commonly issue accusations to get revenge, gain unfair advantage, or simply because they were going on assumption rather than actually being witness. [/size]

[size=1]The right to know your accuser was a cornerstone of American justice; it created an environment which brought accountability to legal prosecution. Without it, people are now going to jail, being fined, and losing their children in civil disputes without ever knowing why. [/size]

Enkele voorbeeldjes van hoe het er tegenwoordig aan toe gaat in het "Land of the free and home of the brave.

1.UPI | December 15, 2004
A St. Louis mother is considering legal action after her 5-year-old son was handcuffed at the behest of a school principal.
"I'm trying to scare this kid straight. I would not be doing my job if I were not trying to get him on the right path," Thurgood Marshall Academy Principal Sam Morgan told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, adding the child "has been a holy terror."
Aroni Rucker said she had been contacted by the school once a week about her son's behavioral problems, but "He didn't do anything to deserve to be handcuffed," said insisted. He is only five. Suspend him or do whatever, but you don't handcuff him."
Rucker has since withdrawn both of her sons from the school.

2.PoliceTaser 6-Year-Old

Fox News | November 12, 2004
MIAMI — Police used a stun gun on a 6-year-old boy in his principal's office because he was wielding a piece of glass and threatening to hurt himself, officials said Thursday.
The boy, who was not identified, was shocked with 50,000 volts on Oct. 20 at Kelsey Pharr Elementary School.
Principal Maria Mason called 911 after the child broke a picture frame in her office and waved a piece of glass, holding a security guard back.
When two Miami-Dade County police officers and a school officer arrived, the boy had already cut himself under his eye and on his hand.
The officers talked to the boy without success. When the boy cut his own leg, one officer shocked him with a Taser ( search ) and another grabbed him to prevent him from falling, police said.
He was treated and taken to a hospital, where he was committed for psychiatric evaluation.
"By using the Taser, we were able to stop the situation, stop him from hurting himself," police spokesman Juan DelCastillo told The Miami Herald.

3.Man Dies After Police Use Stun Gun on Him
Associated Press | November 5 2004
FORT WORTH, Texas -- A man suspected of trying to illegally hook up electrical service died after police shocked him with a stun gun when he was found hiding at an apartment complex, authorities said.
Robert Guerrero, 21, was pronounced dead Tuesday at John Peter Smith Hospital where he was taken after officers subdued him with a Taser stun gun and he stopped breathing, police said.
Officers were called to the complex where residents said someone was illegally hooking up electrical service at a unit, police Lt. Abdul Pridgen said.
When they arrived, Guerrero hid in a closet and refused to come out, Pridgen said. Officers shot Guerrero with a Taser stun gun after asking him twice to come out. Pridgen said the man was then handcuffed but stopped breathing shortly thereafter.
"They had dealt with him before and had a history with him," Pridgen said. "They believed he might have had a weapon."
The stun guns, used primarily by police, temporarily incapacitate people by sending electrical charges through their bodies.
While some deaths have been linked to their use, officials of Scottsdale, Ariz.-based Taser International have defended their product, now used by thousands of law enforcement agencies nationwide.
After the latest fatality, HPD and others call stun guns safer options

4.Houston Chronicle | November 5, 2004
By LISE OLSEN and RHEA DAVIS

The death of a man in Fort Worth after being shot with an electrified dart this week has recharged debate about the safety of the increasingly popular stun guns.
Touted as a life-saving alternative to deadly force, Tasers are used by every major law-enforcement department in Harris County and 300 across Texas.
The sudden death of 21-year-old Robert Guerrero on Tuesday is the state's third that occurred in police custody after the use of a stun gun, based on reports from the manufacturer and the media.
The incident did not shake Houston Police Chief Harold Hurtt's conviction that his pending order for $4.7 million in Tasers will help save lives, not end them.
"Tasers give officers another option besides their handguns when they are confronted by someone with a weapon other than a gun or by someone who is mentally ill," he said.
Houston's City Council approved buying 3,600 Tasers this week.
Guerrero's death occurred after Fort Worth police officers responded to a tip that someone was illegally running electrical lines into an apartment. They followed the lines, discovered Guerrero hiding in a closet and threatened to stun him if he didn't come out. Shortly after being zapped with 50,000 volts, Guerrero stopped breathing and died, said Fort Worth Police Department spokesman Lt. Abdul Pridgen.
It was the third recent death in Texas of someone who had been stunned by a Taser.
Guerrero and a 22-year-old from Johnson County who died in September were both described as having used drugs before their deaths, based on media reports. But no autopsy report in Guerrero's case was available Thursday to confirm that. In the third Texas fatality, a 51-year-old Amarillo man with heart disease suffered a heart attack after being stunned in September 2003.
TASER International defended the safety of its product in e-mail to the Houston Chronicle on Thursday and said it was prepared to assist in the ongoing review of Guerrero's death.
"Until all the facts surrounding this tragic incident are known, it is inappropriate to jump to conclusions on a cause of death," according to the company's statement.
"What we do know is that Taser technology saves lives every day, and that the circumstances surrounding this incident appear to be consistent with other in-custody death incidents where a Taser device was not used," the statement said.
Few fatal cases found
Nationally, more than 70 similar fatal incidents have been reported, said Ed Jackson, a spokesman for Amnesty International USA.
The human rights group has called for a moratorium and independent research on Tasers.
However, a 2004 Arizona Republic review of autopsy reports for people who died nationwide after being stunned showed that medical examiners mentioned Tasers as a factor in only five deaths.
TASER International, an Arizona-based company, is recording record sales and touts its product as saving at least 600 lives, based on reports received by the company from police officers who have used it.
Tasers are unregulated by the federal government.
They are available for sale both to police and civilians in almost every state, based on the company's most recent annual report.
Popular device in local area
HPD is ordering Tasers, as have the Harris County Sheriff's Department and the Pasadena Police Department.
Baytown police got them in 2000.
A few Houston police officers have used a limited number of older stun guns for several years, but the order approved this week will make new models available to all patrol officers. Police in Miami, Seattle and Phoenix all have claimed to have seen shooting incidents drop dramatically after deploying Tasers.
Local departments hope the availability of stun guns will reduce injuries and deaths to officers and citizens.
Annually, about 30 civilians are shot each year in Harris County, based on statistics provided by the Harris County District Attorney's Office.
There have been 18 shootings so far in 2004.
The local chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union has called upon Tasers to be used only as a last resort to avoid lethal force, said Randall Kallinen, the chapter's president.
Since 1999, three officers have been prosecuted by the Harris County District Attorney's Office in two incidents involving alleged misuse of stun guns, but none was convicted.
Two HPD officers were fired in a 1996 incident involving the misuse of an older model of Taser, said Assistant District Attorney Tommy LaFon, who works in the Harris County District Attorney's public-accountability division.
Officer acquitted
In a more recent case, a Baytown officer was acquitted of charges he used a stun gun on a 59-year-old woman who was trying to collect mail for a relative in July 2003. The woman was knocking on the door with a brick and turned toward the officer with the brick in her hand when he confronted her.
In the Baytown case, the officer's supervisor defended his use of force at trial, and the officer was not disciplined.
But Lafon, the prosecutor, continues to disagree that the force used by the officer was appropriate.
D. Matthew Freeman, a Houston attorney, is representing the woman and two others stunned by Baytown officers in three civil suits pending in federal court.
Freeman says he believes Tasers are a valuable tool but can be easily misused.
Saving 'several lives'
Baytown's Lt. David Alford, who oversees internal affairs, said he believes use of force in all three cases was justified because of the erratic and violent behavior exhibited by the people who were stunned.
Alford said he's aware of several situations in which he believes that Tasers saved lives in Baytown.
"It has saved several lives," he said. "Officer injuries are down, injuries to suspects are down. It's an awesome tool."

Police State Trend: Arresting Young Children for Fighting

5.Police arrest boy 8-year-old after scuffle
8-year-old handcuffed, charged with battery

By James L. Rosica
Tallahassee Democrat|October 6, 2004

It was a typical scuffle between two youngsters - some name-calling, a slap on the face, a punch to the stomach.
After it was over, however, Tallahassee police handcuffed the 8-year-old boy who picked the fight and took him to a juvenile facility Monday night, charging him with misdemeanor battery and criminal mischief.
"This was children's stuff, a disagreement between two neighborhood kids," said attorney Kathy Garner, now representing first-grader Isaac Sutton, who turned 8 last month. The boy's case was made public by his mother, Pamela Kelly.
"He just needs a good talking-to," Garner said Tuesday. "This doesn't need to be handled in the judicial system."
Assistant City Attorney Rick Courtemanche, the Tallahassee Police Department's legal adviser, said the arresting officer decided there was enough evidence to arrest the 4-foot-10, 70-pound boy. And city policy requires officers to handcuff juveniles when taking them to the county's Juvenile Assessment Center, he added.
But the boy's arrest raises the usual questions about arresting kids, including: At what age is there criminal intent?
Isaac's arrest comes about a month after Jefferson County deputies arrested a 7-year-old Monticello boy, charging him with battery in the hitting of a classmate, a teacher and a principal, and scratching a school resource officer.
Johnnie Lee Morris was placed on house arrest and faces expulsion from Jefferson Elementary School, where he was in second grade, reports said.
Here's what happened Monday in Tallahassee, according to the juvenile arrest report provided by his mother:
The 10-year-old victim, whose name was not released, said he was playing basketball Monday evening at the Tallahassee Housing Authority's Pinewood Place development. Isaac walked up and called him "a black chocolate chip." The victim said, "You are."
He then tried to walk away, but Isaac kept taunting him that he would hit him, until the victim said, "Try it." Isaac slapped him in the face. The victim then picked up a rock.
Isaac's 14-year-old sister, who was nearby, said she ran over to break up the fight, putting the victim in a headlock so he would drop the rock. Isaac punched the boy in the stomach, and everyone went their separate ways.
The victim's mother later called police, and Officer Aaron Scott went to their home to interview them. Scott joined the force in August 2001, records show.
Scott also talked to Isaac and his sister, who live down the street from the victim. The sister's story matched the victim's, though she said she did not know who started the fight.
Isaac denied being in the fight, but admitted bending the victim's tennis racket while the boy was playing basketball. Scott - who did not return a call for comment - arrested Isaac and took him to the juvenile center, where he was released to his mother after midnight.
Gordon Waldo, a professor of criminology and criminal justice at Florida State University, said there's no bright line between playground fighting and criminal behavior when it comes to pre-teens.
"At least not one that everybody would agree on," he said. "In my day, we were just taken to the principal's office."
In this case, "there was violence involved, and those kind of acts have been responded to (by police) more forcefully in the last 10 years," Waldo said.
"But it sounds like something that was responded to more harshly than what would suggest," he added. "My gut response is that this was an overreaction."
Added Bryan Loney, an assistant professor of clinical psychology at FSU, "You don't often see elementary-school children taken away."
What Loney wants to know is, "Is this an isolated event? Is there a history with these kids fighting? Is this a kid with a history of impulse control?"
Kelly, Isaac's mother, said this was her son's first brush with the law. He has no behavioral or mental health problems, but does have a reading disability that kept him back in school, she said. She also guessed that the fight started because the victim earlier had spit soda at her son.
Now, it's up to the State Attorney's Office to decide whether to prosecute Isaac, who attends North Florida Christian School. The prosecutor assigned the case was unavailable Tuesday.
But, either way, he's not getting off lightly.
"Oh, he'll get punished, trust me," Kelly said. "Just like we did when we were little. You know, I was taught you're not supposed to fight each other, you're supposed to get along."


6. 7-Year-Old Arrested for Assault
MONTICELLO, FL-September 29, 2004 — The mother of a seven-year-old Florida boy says he's too young to have been arrested, booked and taken to a juvenile facility.
Sheriff's officials in Monticello say they didn't have a choice because a warrant for battery charges had been issued for the child. He's four-foot-six and weights 60 pounds.
He's accused of hitting a classmate, a teacher and a principal, and scratching a school resource officer. But the boy's family has retained a lawyer and disputes the official account of what happened. The lawyer says the boy has an attention deficit disorder
The mother of Johnnie Lee Morris – whose name was released by the attorney – says he was held in detention for several hours.
The boy is under house arrest.

8-year-old Arrested, Taken to Adult Jail For Throwing Basketball at Child
Lubbock Online | August 31 2004
ESPANOLA, N.M. (AP) — An Espanola third-grader was handcuffed and arrested by police after hitting another student with a basketball, the child's mother and her lawyer say.
"The Legislature never envisioned that the law would be used to lock an 8-year-old in any jail, especially an adult jail," attorney Sheri Raphaelson said.
"This is the most egregious example of poor judgment by police that I've ever seen in my 15 years of practicing law," she said.
According to a juvenile citation for disorderly conduct, Jerry Trujillo was arrested Thursday and booked into the Espanola jail after he "got out of control and refused to go back to class."
Police Chief Richard Guillen, who was not at work Thursday, said he had few details but that officers "couldn't deal with" the boy before taking him into custody.
He said he had conflicting accounts of where the boy was held and for how long.
It's illegal to keep a juvenile at an adult facility.
Espanola school Superintendent Vernon Jaramillo said the incident was being investigated. He expected a report from the school's principal, Corinne Salazar.
The boy's mother, Angelica Esquibel, said he was sent to the school office Thursday when he raised his voice to a teacher after hitting another child with the basketball.
Esquibel, who works next door to the school, said she was called to the office, and that Jerry began crying and saying he wanted to go home.
She said a school counselor wanted him to return to class, and that when the boy ran outside and started crying louder, the counselor told him if he wasn't going to be in school, she was going to call police.
The counselor told him officers would handcuff him and put him in a cell "until he changes his attitude," Esquibel said.
Guillen said he'd been told the mother agreed police should be called. She said she told school officials not to call them.
Two officers tried to tell Jerry to go back to class and told him he had a choice — class or jail, Esquibel said. When the boy got upset and loud, they handcuffed him, she said.
The police report says Jerry was arrested, taken to jail, booked and released to his parents.
Esquibel said that when she arrived at the police station, he was standing against a wall, crying.
He told her he was placed "in a dark room with a window, a metal toilet and a metal sink," and that inmates banged on the window "saying they were going to get him and cussing," she said. He said officers told him to stop crying or they'd let the inmates get him, she said.
