Overthrowing the Constitution: All Sides Are Waging War on Our Freedoms

Excerpt:
"It is both apt and ironic that the anniversary of 9/11, which paved the way for the government to overthrow the Constitution, occurs the week before the anniversary of the day the U.S. Constitution was adopted on September 17, 1787.

All sides are still waging war on our constitutional freedoms, and “we the people” remain the biggest losers.

This year’s presidential election is no exception.

As Bruce Fein, the former associate deputy attorney general under President Ronald Reagan, warns in a recent article in the Baltimore Sun, “In November, the American people will have a choice between Harris-Walz and Trump-Vance. But they will not have a choice between an Empire and a Republic.”

In other words, the candidates on this year’s ballot do not represent a substantive choice between freedom and tyranny so much as they constitute a cosmetic choice: the packaging may vary widely, but the contents remain the same.

No matter who wins, the bureaucratic minions of the Security/Military Industrial Complex and its Police State/Deep State partners will retain their stranglehold on power.

Neither Donald Trump nor Kamala Harris have the greatest of track records when it comes to actually respecting the rights enshrined in the Constitution, despite the rhetoric being trotted out by both sides lately regarding their so-called devotion to the rule of law.

Indeed, Trump has repeatedly called for parts of the Constitution to be terminated, while both Harris and Trump seem to view the First Amendment’s assurance of the right to free speech, political expression and protest as dangerous when used to challenge the government’s power.

This flies in the face of everything America’s founders fought to safeguard.

Those who gave us the Constitution and the Bill of Rights believed that the government exists at the behest of its citizens. It is there to protect, defend and even enhance our freedoms, not violate them.

Unfortunately, although the Bill of Rights was adopted as a means of protecting the people against government tyranny, in America today, the government does whatever it wants, freedom be damned.

In the 23 years since the USA Patriot Act—a massive 342-page wish list of expanded powers for the FBI and CIA—was rammed through Congress in the wake of the so-called 9/11 terror attacks, it has snowballed into the eradication of every vital safeguard against government overreach, corruption and abuse.

The Patriot Act drove a stake through the heart of the Bill of Rights, violating at least six of the ten original amendments—the First, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh and Eighth Amendments—and possibly the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Amendments, as well."

    I started to respond by challenging his use of the term “so-called terror attack”, but then I had to hit the brakes. I’m a card-carrying cynic, and an interesting thought hit me.

    First we had the planes hitting the WTC and the Pentagon (but missing whatever target American Airlines Flight 77 was intended to hit). Then we had the Patriot Act (and here I agree with the author) shredding large parts of the Bill of Rights.

    Fast forward almost two decades, and we have a genetically engineered virus (funded in large part by the U.S. Government, which really means by us taxpayers) released on the world. That is immediately followed by the most absurd, insane restrictions ever imposed on a supposedly-free people by their government.

    Could the 9/11 events have been a coordinated effort involving the government just to give them an excuse to pass the Patriot Act? Could Covid-19 have been released for the sole purpose of giving that same government an excuse to all but declare martial law?

    I believe the answer to my second question is a definitive “Yes”. But in looking at my first question, I really have to think the answer is, at the very least, a firm sold “Maybe”.

      Based on the evidence, not the BS deepstatist propaganda.
      Yes. Yes.
      No airplane hit the Pentagon. Not a chance.
      Government agencies have lied about every important thing for over 100 years.
      Hundreds of thousands of innocent people have been killed and trillions of fiat
      dollars have been wasted and given to traitors and thieves.

          I'd love to see a real un-doctored photo or video of a plane hitting the Pentagon taken on 9-11-01.
          I'd love to see an accurate, realistic engineering analysis that shows it's likely that a
          hollow aluminum tube (aka a passenger plane) can break through 8 steel reinforced
          concrete walls each 2 ft thick and create a 9 ft diameter tunnel into the pentagon.
