“The Constitution of the United States is a law for rulers and people, equally in war and in peace, and covers with the shield of its protection all classes of men, at all times, and under all circumstances. No doctrine, involving more pernicious consequences, was ever invented by the wit of man than that any of its provisions can be suspended during any of the great exigencies of government. Such a doctrine leads directly to anarchy or despotism.”
- Justice David Davis, Ex Parte Milligan (1866)

"The potential of a weapon of mass destruction and a terrorist, massive, casualty- producing event [will occur] somewhere in the Western world...it may be in the United States of America, that causes our population to question our own Constitution and to begin to militarize our country in order to avoid a repeat of another mass-casualty producing event...the Constitution will likely be discarded in favor of a military form of government..." - General Tommy Franks

"Today 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 our very existence. It is then that all peoples of the world will pledge with world leaders to deliver them from this evil. The one thing every man fears is the unknown. When presented with this scenario, individual rights will be willingly relinquished for the guarantee of their well being granted to them by their world government."

"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. ...A murderer is less to be feared."
- Cicero Marcus Tullius (Murdered December 7, 43 B.C.)

"and it seems to me perfectly in the cards that there will be in the next generation or so a pharmacological method of making people love their servitude, and producing...a kind of painless concentration camp for entire societies, so that people will in fact have their liberties taken away from them, but will rather enjoy it, because they will be distracted from any desire to rebel by propaganda, brainwashing, or brainwashing enhanced pharmacological methods." - Aldous Huxley, 1959

"...We must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt...If we run into such debts as that we must be taxed in our meat and in our drink, in our necessities and comforts, in our labors and in our amusements, for our callings and our creeds...our people...must come to labor 16 hours in the 24, give the earnings of 15 of these to the government for their debts and daily expenses; and the 16th being insufficient to afford us bread,...We have no time to think, no means of calling the mis-managers to account; but be glad to obtain subsistence by hiring ourselves, to rivet their chains on the necks of our fellow sufferers. Our land holders, too...retaining indeed the title and stewardship of estates called theirs, but held really in trust for the treasury,. . .this is the tendency of all human governments. A departure from principle becomes a precedent for a second; that second for a third; and so on, till the bulk of society is reduced to mere automatons of misery, to have no sensibilities left but for sinning and suffering...And the fore horse of this frightful team is public debt. Taxation follows that, and in it's train, wretchedness and oppression. - Thomas Jefferson

"History fails to record a single precedent in which nations subject to moral decay have not passed into political and economic declines. There has either been a spiritual awakening to overcome the moral lapse, or an ultimate national disaster."

===========================================================
"Of all the enemies to public liberty war is, perhaps, the most to be dreaded because it comprises and develops the germ of every other. War is the parent of armies; from these proceed debts and taxes. And armies, and debts, and taxes are the known instruments for bringing the many under the domination of the few. In war, too, the discretionary power of the Executive is extended. Its influence in dealing out offices, honors, and emoluments is multiplied; and all the means of seducing the minds, are added to those of subduing the force of the people. The same malignant aspect in republicanism may be traced in the inequality of fortunes, and the opportunities of fraud, growing out of a state of war . . . and in the degeneracy of manners and morals, engendered by both. No nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare."
- James Madison, April 20, 1795
===========================================================
On 9/28/98, Rep. Bob Barr (R-GA), one of the leading early exponents of impeaching Bill Clinton, released a memorandum exposing a huge police state power grab by Bill Clinton and his Attorney General, Janet Reno.
As Rep. Barr wrote: "Attorney General Janet Reno and the Department of Justice intend to obtain massive new enforcement powers in the closing days of the 105th Congress..."
Barr obtained the information from a confidential source within federal law enforcement. Among other things, the Department's `wish list' for new authority includes:
* A vastly expanded definition of terrorism, to include domestic crimes having no relationship to terrorism.
* The power to seize commercial transportation assets for federal use.
* The ability to commandeer personnel from other federal agencies without reimbursement.
* Expanded wiretap authority to allow `roving' wiretaps, and wiretaps without any court authority.
* Enlarged asset forfeiture provisions to allow the FBI to seize personal property in both criminal and civil matters.
*** The establishment of a permanent "(FBI) National Police Force".
*** Loosening of Posse Comitatus restrictions to allow more military involvement in domestic law enforcement. [...Waco times ten!]
* Authority to force telephone and Internet companies to divulge information on their customers.
"These requests belong in some bizarre conspiracy novel, not in serious legislative documents being circulated at the top levels of federal law enforcement. These proposals represent a sneak attack on the most cherished principles of our republic. If they become a part of our law, freedom and privacy in America will be permanently and severely diminished," said Barr.
[The provisions listed above are just one small portion of 'Patriot' Act 1 and "Patriot 2".]

"The United Nations is the greatest fraud in all History. Its purpose is to destroy the United States!" - Congressman John E. Rankin
===========================================================
Congressman James Traficant: Janet Reno, she's a traitor to the nation. She betrayed America.
Greta Van Susteren: Why would Reno hate you, just over...
Congressman Traficant: No, it wasn't that. It was a combination of local, national, very outspoken, and I touched on issues that people [in government] didn't want to hear. They didn't want to hear about Pan Am 103. They didn't want to hear about Ruby Ridge. They didn't want to hear about Waco, where they could have arrested Koresh any day out jogging and killed 80-some people.
Here's what's happened, in my opinion. We have an America at stake. People are afraid of their government. A federal judge can only be removed one way, Greta. They die, they resign or the FBI, IRS or Treasury Department develops a case on them. And right now, I don't believe an American, especially a politically targeted American, can get a fair trial. And I believe what's happening is this fear factor in America is dangerous. Why do we fear our own government?

Thomas Jefferson on oppressively large government (1821):
"...working like gravity by night and by day, gaining a little to-day and a little to-morrow, and advancing it's noiseless step like a thief, over the field of jurisdiction, until all shall be usurped from the States, and the government of all be consolidated into one. ... when all government ... in little as in great things, shall be drawn to Washington as the centre of all power, it will render powerless the checks provided of one government on another and will become as venal and oppressive as the government from which we separated."

"Government big enough to supply everything you need is big enough to take everything you have ... The course of history shows that as a government grows, liberty decreases."

"How we burned in the prison camps later thinking: What would things have been like if every police operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive? If during periods of mass arrests people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever was at hand? The organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt."- Alexander Solzhenitsyn, Nobel Prize winner and author of "The Gulag Archipelago", who spent 11 years in Soviet concentration camps.
