Before I commence to rambling bout the late U.S. Constitution and thrilling you with some newsworthy news items I need to apologize for something.
This morning I cut down yet another set of punching bag chains. Sorry, dear EFC. Sometimes it’s not easy being the strongest man. This tragedy forced me to cut my routine down to 15 or so minutes. BTW, I expect the stronger chains I’ve been talking about will now be purchased – either that or just designate a steel box-beam for my future martial needs…
How about that Supreme Court? Always doing their part to check against unnecessary and illegal government abuses! Not.
In the wake of Maryland v. King, the NINE have just given us Salinas v. Texas, 570 U.S. ___, Slip Op. No. 12-246 (June 17, 2013).
(Supreme Court in action. Google.)
The Morgal Lords insist the Fifth Amendment’s protection against self-incrimination “is not self-executing and that a witness who desires its protection must claim it.” Salinas, Slip Op. at 1. This means that now anything you say (OR DON’T SAY) can and will be used against you. The “in a court of law” stuff no longer applies as the court’s no longer are based in or bound by the law; courts exist now to provide the government with a convenient forum for railroading citizens – kind of like the old show trials of the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany. Welcome to Amerika.
The Court is dead wrong. The rights enumerated in the Bill of Rights are Natural in origin and are, thus, self-executing. You need not declare that you have the right to free speech pursuant to the First Amendment before you speak your mind. Likewise, you don’t have to say that torture is cruel and unusual punishment, forbidden by the Eight Amendment, in order to not be tortured. At least that’s the way it was. Every time you do something you might want to cite to some right or something from now on. Then again, if we all do that, the Court will “presto, change” change the law again. It’s a no-win situation.
What is truly evil is that the people are expected to declare their rights as set forth in the Constitution in order to justify protection while the government will never cite the Constitution for any authority for the horrible things they do. This is called tyranny.
Justice Breyer was correct in his dissent: “No ritualistic formula is necessary in order to invoke the privilege.” Id, at Dissent 9. Rights simply are or, they were, back when Amerika was America.
The voting was a bit odd considering the split in Maryland v. King. Rather than stand with the people and the dissent of the “liberals,” Justice Scalia sided with the majority. None of this matters. The votes change from case to case but the uselessness of the Court is consistent. That’s all that really matters.
In effect the Court placed fresh green sod on the grave of the Fifth Amendment. The Fifth is conveniently buried next to the Fourth at the Constitutional Memorial Gardens. Stop by to pay your respects.
The News:
I don’t know how Will Grigg finds these stories but check out his latest report on the police state: http://lewrockwell.com/grigg/grigg-w328.html. Will reports on the shooting dead (at the bloody hands of our brave public servants) of a 7 year old girl in Detroit. The weapon used caught my eye. The little girl was murdered by a stormtrooper wielding an H&K MP5. Remember that picture of the SS goon pointing the sub-machine gun at little Elian Gonzalez? That was an MP5 (Navy model, I think). I see a pattern here. Where are the gun-control folks on this trend???
(Protecting the children. Google.)
Here’s more proof I am ahead of my time. Will all the “recent” revelations about NSA and other government spying on us, a criminal defendant in Florida is attempting to use the system’s vast heft against it. See: http://www.infowars.com/lawyers-eye-nsa-data-as-treasure-trove-for-evidence-in-murder-divorce-cases/. The man says certain records, previously stolen by the Empire will prove his innocence. Accordingly, he has demanded they be produced by the state. They won’t be. Those records are for THEM only, never for us.
I contemplated this issue four or five years ago in a civil case. Much hung on alleged phone calls from an “untraceable” cell phone. There appeared to be no way to verify if the calls were made. I suggested a request to the NSA as I knew (four or five years ago!) about their schemes. My strategy went nowhere fast. Still, I am a trend-setter.
Some other crazy stuff is going on but I am out of time. More to come. Hang in there, comrades!
