Us Bill of Rights Repealed

US Constitution repealed

by frightening new law

Nathan Batalion, Global Health Activist, Healingtalks Editor

(Healingtalks) You might the headline is just a cute joke but unfortunately it isn’t. The mainstream media doesn’t want you to know any of this story, even though it is one of the most important we have ever reported on, since our inception. It affects everyone’s health as well as liberty and free rights to pursue happiness.

Literally repealing the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights

The US Senate jus voted, as part of the National Defense Authorization Act to essentially repeal the Constitution and its Bill of Rights. The law authorizes the U.S. military to operate on U.S. soil, conduct secret kidnappings of American citizens and throw them in secret military prisons. There they can and will be “legally” tortured, interrogated and even murdered.

Welcome to the NEW AMERICA

All that is required to become a detained outcast from the NEW AMERICA is the accusation that you are somehow linked to “terrorism.” There is no definition of that term, no due process and no evidence required. This has already been voted on by a traitorous U.S. Senate, led by Republicans like Sen. John McCain who should, due to that vote, themselves be in jail.

news blackout

News Blackout

As with the Constitution-destroying provisions of the “Patriot Act,” you won’t find any depth coverage of this story in mainstream media, which has been bought up, lock-stock-and-barrel by an elite that is simultaneously behind the passage of this law. This is no joke. How and which newspaper and media magnates are involved is another story.

If you thought Bush was bad, just wait until a Republican wins the election in 2012 and then uses this law to declare open war on the American people. Impossible? The massive FEMA detention camps, built by Halliburton, and to hold a million or more American “terrorists” have now been built. This year they even have paid management, and with representatives ready-to-go in every state.

fema camp

FEMA camps no joke

Where do you think the U.S. military planned to put all these U.S. citizens they round up under this new law? The FEMA camps. There is no longer any doubt!

Detention or concentration camps can’t happen here – think again

We’ve got the entire censored episode of Jesse Ventura’s “Conspiracy Theory” that reveals these FEMA camps in full detail. Watch it now with renewed knowledge of why these internment camps have been constructed across the USA:
Learn about FEMA CAMPS!

All this harkens back to World War II and the Japanese internment camps set up on U.S. soil, followed by the military rounding up of Japanese citizens: About Japanese internment camps.

You think they won’t do it again? Why did they just pass a bill declaring the entire USA to be a “battleground” of terrorism – and opening the door for the military occupation of US cities? Your hometown?

On the verge of becoming a military dictatorship

Our liberty and the soul of our country is at stake. Our survival as a free nation. It is time thus for all of us to reaffirm the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Without the Bill of Rights, we are nothing but a military dictatorship, led by bankster criminals?

Patriot Act
Time for all to become constitutionalists

The looming scenario is we get this law signed by Obama declaring “I’ll never use it on American citizens.” Then Newt Gingrich gets elected in 2012 and all hell breaks loose.  Mike Adams of naturalnews suggests “he might unleash the U.S. military on California pot dispensaries, using armed troops to round up everybody who smokes a little weed, then throwing them in secret U.S. military prisons where they are subjected to torture. No charges, no public defense attorneys, no due process, no accountability whatsoever. All 100% legal because it was voted into law by the traitorous U.S. Senate. You think this couldn’t happen in America? Wake up, people: The Patriot Act was passed with the promise that it would “never be used against Americans” and was only for “terrorists,” right? But now up to 90% of the Patriot Act prosecutions are being leveled against American citizens for things that have nothing whatsoever to do with terrorism: See (Looming Destruction of America by Patriot Act)

power corrupts absolutely

Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely

That’s for certain. Wake up America. Tyranny is at our doorstep.

The purpose of the Bill of Rights was to limit government power. It was prevent secret arrests, torture, assassinations, unlimited detention and other police-state tactics used by nations like Nazi Germany, North Korea, China and Cuba. But with this Senate bill, the USA will become among them, in short order. All the things we in the USA complain about in these other nations will become routine in the US – illegal arrests, torture, etc. – as it will be entirely LEGAL under U.S. law! The complaints against the tyrant dictators in other nations may pale in comparison to what is in store.  So will Hillary Clinton organize a United Nations invasion of America to “protect the innocent protestors?” Don’t hold your breath.

Feds raid Mormon warehouse to get list of customers storing emergency food

storing emergency food

(Healingtalks) There has been not only a raid of the Mormon food storage facility to get its list of customers, but according to Channel 5, a denial this ever happened while the feds are engaged in a door-to-door questioning of Tennessee citizens about their stored food!

“War on Terror” stretches home

As was the plan, the “War on Terror” has officially targeted the American public. This was crystal clear in the recently passed and traitorous National Defense Authorization Act by the US Congress. It essentially abrogates the Bill of Rights, allowing for the arrest of Americans, on American soil, without even being tried or charged of a crime. But in order to fully implement the goal of total control and tyranny, the federal government is collecting names of individuals that are preparing for the future by buying and storing emergency food supplies!

Feds at invade Oath Keepers’ facility

Oath Keepers, an association of active servicemen devoted to upholding their oath of guarding the republic and protecting individual liberty, has reported that federal agents recently paid a visit to a Latter Day Saints food storage cannery in Tennessee (Raid of Oath Keeper’s facility). These agents then allegedly interrogated the manager and demanded to see a list of customers who had purchased, and were storing, food there.

Oath Keepers Tennessee Chapter President Rand Cardwell confirmed this, as he is in close contact with a fellow veteran who happens to store his own food at the facility in question. According to this man’s account, agents entered the facility and began demanding payment records and personal information for everyone connected with the operation.

“The manager informed the agents that the facility kept no such records and that all transactions were conducted on a cash-and-carry basis,” Cardwell is quoted. “The agents pressed for any record of personal checks, credit card transactions, etc., but the manager could provide no such record. The agents appeared to become very agitated and after several minutes of questioning finally left with no information.” Watch the full interview between Steward Rhodes and Alex Jones at:

Why feds raided a Mormon food storage facility

Oath Keepers suggests the government is trying to gather intelligence on food-storing Americans to later confiscate that food as freedom-loving patriots who are preparing for social upheaval are most likely to pose a threat to the power structure.

Ten Ways The US Crushes Youth Resistance

1 Comment 30 August 2011

Ten Ways the US Crushes Youth Resistance

Ten Ways the US Crushes Youth Resistance

Based on an article By Bruce E. Levine, published in AlterNet

(Healingtalks) Traditionally, young people have energized cultural movements. So it is a major coup for the ruling elite to have created societal institutions that have subdued young Americans and broken their spirit of resistance to domination.

Young Americans—even more so than older Americans—appear to have acquiesced to the idea that the corporatocracy can completely screw them and that they are helpless to do anything about it. A 2010 Gallup poll asked Americans “Do you think the Social Security system will be able to pay you a benefit when you retire?” Among 18- to 34-years-olds, 76 percent of them said no. Yet despite their lack of confidence in the availability of Social Security for them, few have demanded it be shored up by more fairly payroll-taxing the wealthy; most appear resigned to having more money deducted from their paychecks for Social Security, even though they don’t believe it will be around to benefit them.

How exactly has American society subdued young Americans?

Growing Student Debt

Large debt, (student loan and credit cards), and the fear it create, is a pacifying force.

There was no tuition at the City University of New York when I attended one of its colleges in the 1970s, a time when tuition at many U.S. public universities was so affordable that it was easy to get a B.A. and even a graduate degree without accruing any student-loan debt. While those days are gone in the United States, public universities continue to be free in the Arab world and are either free or with very low fees in many countries throughout the world. The millions of young Iranians who risked getting shot to protest their disputed 2009 presidential election, the millions of young Egyptians who risked their lives earlier this year to eliminate Mubarak, and the millions of young Americans who demonstrated against the Vietnam War all had in common the absence of pacifying huge student-loan debt.

Today in the United States, two-thirds of graduating seniors at four-year colleges have student-loan debt, including over 62 percent of public university graduates. While average undergraduate debt is close to $25,000, I increasingly talk to college graduates with closer to $100,000 in student-loan debt. During the time in one’s life when it should be easiest to resist authority because one does not yet have family responsibilities, many young people worry about the cost of bucking authority, losing their job, and being unable to pay an ever-increasing debt. In a vicious cycle, student debt has a subduing effect on activism, and political passivity makes it more likely that students will accept such debt as a natural part of life.

Psychopathologizing / Medicating Noncompliance

In 1955, Erich Fromm, the then widely respected anti-authoritarian leftist psychoanalyst, wrote, “Today the function of psychiatry, psychology and psychoanalysis threatens to become the tool in the manipulation of man.” Fromm died in 1980, the same year that an increasingly authoritarian America elected Ronald Reagan president, and an increasingly authoritarian American Psychiatric Association added to their diagnostic bible (then the DSM-III) disruptive mental disorders for children and teenagers such as the increasingly popular “oppositional defiant disorder” (ODD). The official symptoms of ODD include “often actively defies or refuses to comply with adult requests or rules,” “often argues with adults,” and “often deliberately does things to annoy other people.”

Many of America’s greatest activists including Saul Alinsky (1909–1972), the legendary organizer and author of Reveille for Radicals and Rules for Radicals, would today certainly be diagnosed with ODD and other disruptive disorders. Recalling his childhood, Alinsky said, “I never thought of walking on the grass until I saw a sign saying ‘Keep off the grass.’ Then I would stomp all over it.” Heavily tranquilizing antipsychotic drugs (e.g. Zyprexa and Risperdal) are now the highest grossing class of medication in the United States ($16 billion in 2010); a major reason for this, according to theJournal of the American Medical Association in 2010, is that many children receiving antipsychotic drugs have nonpsychotic diagnoses such as ODD or some other disruptive disorder (this especially true of Medicaid-covered pediatric patients).

Schools That Educate for Compliance

Upon accepting the New York City Teacher of the Year Award on January 31, 1990, John Taylor Gatto upset many in attendance by stating: “The truth is that schools don’t really teach anything except how to obey orders. This is a great mystery to me because thousands of humane, caring people work in schools as teachers and aides and administrators, but the abstract logic of the institution overwhelms their individual contributions.” A generation ago, the problem of compulsory schooling as a vehicle for an authoritarian society was widely discussed, but as this problem has gotten worse, it is seldom discussed.

The nature of most classrooms, regardless of the subject matter, socializes students to be passive and directed by others, to follow orders, to take seriously the rewards and punishments of authorities, to pretend to care about things they don’t care about, and that they are impotent to affect their situation. A teacher can lecture about democracy, but schools are essentially undemocratic places, and so democracy is not what is instilled in students. Jonathan Kozol in The Night Is Dark and I Am Far from Home focused on how school breaks us from courageous actions. Kozol explains how our schools teach us a kind of “inert concern” in which “caring”—in and of itself and without risking the consequences of actual action—is considered “ethical.” School teaches us that we are “moral and mature” if we politely assert our concerns, but the essence of school—its demand for compliance—teaches us not to act in a friction-causing manner.

Standardized Testing Tyranny

The corporatocracy has figured out a way to make our already authoritarian schools even more authoritarian. Democrat-Republican bipartisanship has resulted in wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, NAFTA, the PATRIOT Act, the War on Drugs, the Wall Street bailout, and educational policies such as “No Child Left Behind” and “Race to the Top.” These policies are essentially standardized-testing tyranny that creates fear, which is antithetical to education for a democratic society. Fear forces students and teachers to constantly focus on the demands of test creators; it crushes curiosity, critical thinking, questioning authority, and challenging and resisting illegitimate authority. In a more democratic and less authoritarian society, one would evaluate the effectiveness of a teacher not by corporatocracy-sanctioned standardized tests but by asking students, parents, and a community if a teacher is inspiring students to be more curious, to read more, to learn independently, to enjoy thinking critically, to question authorities, and to challenge illegitimate authorities.

Shaming Young People To “School” Rather than Learn

In a 2006 survey in the United States, it was found that 40 percent of children between first and third grade read every day, but by fourth grade, that rate declined to 29 percent. Despite the anti-educational impact of standard schools, children and their parents are increasingly propagandized to believe that disliking school means disliking learning. That was not always the case in the United States. Mark Twain famously said, “I never let my schooling get in the way of my education.” Toward the end of Twain’s life in 1900, only 6 percent of Americans graduated high school. Today, approximately 85 percent of Americans graduate high school, but this is good enough for Barack Obama who told us in 2009, “And dropping out of high school is no longer an option. It’s not just quitting on yourself, it’s quitting on your country.”

The more schooling Americans get, however, the more politically ignorant they are of America’s ongoing class war, and the more incapable they are of challenging the ruling class. In the 1880s and 1890s, American farmers with little or no schooling created a Populist movement that organized America’s largest-scale working people’s cooperative, formed a People’s Party that received 8 percent of the vote in 1892 presidential election, designed a “subtreasury” plan (that had it been implemented would have allowed easier credit for farmers and broke the power of large banks) and sent 40,000 lecturers across America to articulate it, and evidenced all kinds of sophisticated political ideas, strategies and tactics absent today from America’s well-schooled population. Today, Americans who lack college degrees are increasingly shamed as “losers”; however, Gore Vidal and George Carlin, two of America’s most astute and articulate critics of the corporatocracy, never went to college, and Carlin dropped out of school in the ninth grade.

Normalizing Surveillance

The fear of being surveilled makes a population easier to control. While the National Security Agency (NSA) has received publicity for monitoring American citizen’s email and phone conversations, and while employer surveillance has become increasingly common in the United States, young Americans have become increasingly acquiescent to corporatocracy surveillance because, beginning at a young age, surveillance is routine in their lives. Parents routinely check Web sites for their kid’s latest test grades and completed assignments, and just like employers, are monitoring their children’s computers and Facebook pages. Some parents use the GPS in their children’s cell phones to track their whereabouts, and other parents have video cameras in their homes. Increasingly, I talk with young people who lack the confidence that they can even pull off a party when their parents are out of town, and so how much confidence are they going to have about pulling off a democratic movement below the radar of authorities?

All-Time High Television Viewing

In 2009, the Nielsen Company reported that TV viewing in the United States is at an all-time high if one includes the following “three screens”: a television set, a laptop/personal computer, and a cell phone. Its around a 150 hours a month for all Americans. American children average eight hours a day on TV, video games, movies, the Internet, cell phones, iPods, and other technologies (not including school-related use). Many progressives are concerned about the concentrated control of content by the corporate media, but the mere act of watching TV—regardless of the programming—is the primary pacifying agent (private-enterprise prisons have recognized that providing inmates with cable television can be a more economical method to keep them quiet and subdued than it would be to hire more guards).

Television is a dream come true for an authoritarian society: those with the most money own most of what people see; fear-based television programming makes people more afraid and distrustful of one another, which is good for the ruling elite who depend on a “divide and conquer” strategy; TV isolates people so they are not joining together to create resistance to authorities; and regardless of the programming, TV viewers’ brainwaves slow down, transforming them closer to a hypnotic state that makes it difficult to think critically. While playing a video games is not as zombifying as passively viewing TV, such games have become for many boys and young men their only experience of potency, and this “virtual potency” is certainly no threat to the ruling elite.

Fundamentalist Religion and Fundamentalist Consumerism

American culture offers young Americans the “choices” of fundamentalist religion and fundamentalist consumerism. All varieties of fundamentalism narrow one’s focus and inhibit critical thinking. While some progressives are fond of calling fundamentalist religion the “opiate of the masses,” they too often neglect the pacifying nature of America’s other major fundamentalism. Fundamentalist consumerism pacifies young Americans in a variety of ways. Fundamentalist consumerism destroys self-reliance, creating people who feel completely dependent on others and who are thus more likely to turn over decision-making power to authorities, the precise mind-set that the ruling elite loves to see. A fundamentalist consumer culture legitimizes advertising, propaganda, and all kinds of manipulations, including lies; and when a society gives legitimacy to lies and manipulativeness, it destroys the capacity of people to trust one another and form democratic movements. Fundamentalist consumerism also promotes self-absorption, which makes it difficult for the solidarity necessary for democratic movements.

Devitalizing Nutrition

These are not the only aspects of our culture that are subduing young Americans and crushing their resistance to domination. The food-industrial complex has helped create an epidemic of childhood obesity, depression, and passivity. Dead, preserved, mechanically processed foods create dead minds, dead cell membranes with devitalized receptors (diabetes) and cells so dead they spread their death unrecognized (metastatic cancer).

Unparalleled Imprisonments

The US leads the world in the percentage of citizens in prison. The United States has less than 5 percent of the world’s population. But it has almost a quarter of the world’s prisoners. As Ralph Waldo Emerson observed: “All our things are right and wrong together. The wave of evil washes all our institutions alike.”
