Fascism: Police harass an armed citizen who is keeping them accountable with a video camera.
The following video is more proof that Fascism has infiltrated yet another Police Dept. in the United States. Watch as the Police here take a “Guilty until proven Innocent” approach with a citizen who video tapes his girlfriend’s traffic stop while wearing a sidearm. Assuming that they have been properly trained, they repeatedly & knowingly LIE to him about the law, & continue to insist that he prove that he’s not a felon. Watch also as the officer insists that HIS safety was being violated, by the mere presence of a firearm that is not in POLICE HANDS. I would submit here that there is not much more scary than Police officers who think they are the only ones that should be allowed to have a firearm to protect themselves in public. Doesn’t that make them like Roman soldiers, & the citizenry more akin to “subjects” under the Imperial Roman Rule from 31 BC – AD 476?
YouTube is loaded with thousands of examples of video evidence with case after case of Fascist Police action on U.S. soil. While I can certainly understand that Police are uncomfortable being video taped, their notion that they have more civil rights than a citizen walking down the street with a video camera is more akin to Nazi Germany than it is to the America our Founding Fathers envisioned.. If they are uncomfortable with guns, perhaps being a Police officer is a bad idea, since our laws dictate that we have a right to carry a firearm, or even several if we so choose. The Constitutional Rights of United States citizens are not to be negotiated by Police officers on a sidewalk. It is their duty to uphold the law as written, & not to make it up as they see fit for their personal comfort. If you see behavior like that which is seen on the video below, know that you do NOT have to tolerate it, & you should report it. When Police lie to the citizens, they violate our trust, & when trust is violated, Police encounters can become dangerous to both Police & citizen. Police have a right to PROTECT themselves from physical harm, but not to protect their egos, or to protect themselves from being “afraid” at the cost of a citizens civil rights. Again I will say, if you are too afraid to be around guns as a Police officer, then go to England & be an unarmed Bobby standing under 30 or so surveillance cameras on every street corner! Fearful people do not belong in that job.. Period.. Fearful people will do anything for self preservation, even violate the rights of others..
For those of you who will say that “It’s easy for you to say, you’re not around strangers with guns.” You would be wrong.. I don’t know more than half of the people I encounter in the State Park in Tennessee wearing a sidearm, or walking down the street, or those that I go to a shooting range with. I rely on the kind of faith in my fellow citizens that made this nation great, & on God to protect me.. Ronald Reagan once wisely said to “Trust, but Verify”.
Do I glance over once in a while to make sure that they aren’t doing anything dangerous or provocative with their firearm? Of course, just like I do when I’m driving down the road with other people driving 2+ ton weapons.. The day only Police have guns, is they day that they will begin to turn into completely fascist criminals, because absolute Power corrupts absolutely!
Lastly: Notice that the officers never put their hands on their weapons… If this wasn’t an “EGO STOP”, & if they were truly in fear for their safety, why would they not have a hand on the grip of their firearms?
Why I removed Michelle Malkin’s link from my website..
It’s pretty simple actually.. She’s gone Neo-Con, & is too blinded by her bias to stop bashing people she doesn’t agree with. These days Her solution to anyone who dares to question the Government’s possible role in 9/11 is to berate them & call them crazy. The problem for Michelle is that there are indeed MANY very good questions that remain unanswered about 9/11, & her calling decent people who want more answers, tin foil hats, & calling them “Liberals” is ridiculous & counterproductive..
Michelle & her staff like to point to Popular Mechanics as the end all be all Gods of wisdom on all things 9/11, (See here: http://hotair.com/archives/2010/02/11/heartache-tea-party-candidate-in-texas-a-911-truther/ )as if they couldn’t possibly be wrong, or even bought off? But that aside, what about the questions that have NOTHING to do with how the buildings were brought down, but rather how they came to be hit in the first place? For me, those are the more scary unanswered questions that Peeps like Michelle Malkin are glossing right over.. Why were the flights of all chiefs of staff canceled for 9/11? But here’s the creepiest one. I watched with my own eyes as Condoleeza Rice said that “Nobody could have imagined that terrorists would fly planes into buildings.” Oh yeah? Then why all this missile defense & anti-aircraft security at the G-8 Summit to protect from that very thing that year prior to 9/11? http://www.buzzflash.com/contributors/2002/05/16_Bush_Knew.html & why did a damning memo that Bush received come out soon after she said that? I gotta tell you.. I voted for the man, but these are really good questions.. In retrospect it’s clear that Bush sold our sovereignty, & wanted to globalize us.. He passed the torch onto another minion named Obama, who has the same goal, but is attempting it with even more fervor & determination.
I guess she can’t figure out the difference between an Obama voting Liberal & a Libertarian.. Surprising for a woman of her intelligence & political experience really, but whatever.. She no longer has my support.. I don’t support fascist attitudes.. “Think my way or don’t think, or speak at all.” It’s too bad, I was very supportive of her until she has continued to stand up for Bush’s Constitutional violations with the Patriot act, ect., as well as burying her head in the sand on how dangerous it is to profile everyone, & start “interning” people that you think “might” do something wrong.. If being afraid of far right wing fascism makes me a liberal, then I guess I’ll be that definition of a liberal. Someone needs to remind Michelle about the Cato Letters, that helped shape the direction of the Revolutionary war.. They were written by those “Tin Hatter” Libertarians she likes to berate constantly..
However people who know me know that I stand for the Constitution of the United States, Gun Rights, Low Taxes (none un-apportioned), & smaller government, with less Federal influence. Anyway, she no longer allows me & several others who dare to question anything that was done by the Bush admin to comment on her site.. Several of us have been blocked, & though we have politely asked for an explanation, she has rudely, & arrogantly ignored us.
Unfortunately I am no longer able to support many of her positions.. I don’t claim to know for sure whether or not our Government did something underhanded on 9/11 in order to push an agenda, but the fact is, it wouldn’t be the first time in world history that it was done.. I only hope she will wake up & do some real investigative journalism, instead of just dismissing people & calling them all “tin foil hatters”, when she hasn’t spent any time proving they are wrong, & laying out a fair & factual rebuttal to claims. I know that some claims that have been made have been ridiculous, but the whole idea of “Truthers” & “Birthers” being completely wrong is ignorant to say the least.. So far It seems that she just doesn’t get it.. For someone who claims to be a Christian, you would think she would at least question some things like this, that seem to support end times prophetic writings in the bible? From the VeriChip website, leading makers of chips to be implanted in people:
“The roots of VeriChip trace back to the events of September 11, 2001, when New York firemen were writing their badge ID numbers on their chests in case they were found injured or unconscious. It was evident there was a serious need for personal information in emergency situations. ”
And then this:

It doesn’t take a genius to see that the Government has some VERY unconstitutional ideas, & are trying to sell them to the public in the name of “safety”. You see, it’s not a far leap to say later that everyone will have to be “chipped” for their own safety, because of terrorism, border hopping, identity theft, viruses, child rapists/abductors ect..
Mark of the Beast anyone? If this makes me a “tin hatter”, then I’ll be one. Because if Malkin truly believes in the Bible like she says she does, she might want to spend some time in the book of Revelations..
Here are a few basic questions that a LOT of good Americans have…
How did we let 9/11 happen, but we’re able to chase down the wayward plane of golfer Payne Stewart within 20 minutes?
How far are we going to go with invading personal space & civil liberties in order to win “The War on Terror.”
Isn’t it kind of convenient to have a “War on Terror” with no definable enemy, or way of declaring victory?
Where is the gold that backs our money? When was the last time it was audited?
Was the 16th amendment that was used as an excuse to income tax us ever really ratified? (The answer is most assuredly no by the way.)
Why should we trust the Federal government to have free warrant-less wire tapping reign over citizens, with no accountability?
These are just some of the questions that Malkin has berated people for, & quite frankly, as a Conservative who believes in people’s first amendment right to question their government, I find it an embarrassment to true Conservatism, which always seeks to defend the U.S. Constitution.
I was a member of her website for a couple years, but until she gets off her high Neo-Con horse, I really can’t support her anymore..
One last thing.. I don’t like the way Alex Jones acted in the confrontation he had with her either. Calling her “devil women” & trashing her for wearing makeup ect.. It was way over the top as well. We need people to work together & be level headed, & get to the truth. What you had was two VERY strong personalities who think they can never be wrong going at each other. Ironically they are both after the same thing.. Getting our government to obey the people instead of the other way around. Malkin however hasn’t figured out that the Republicans & Democrats are like two mob families fighting each other for territory. But as soon as their “turf” & their collective foothold on the government is threatened by Tea Party organizers or Truthers or what ever, both parties band together to attack THE PEOPLE!
The problem isn’t truthers that want more answers, or people who don’t believe in torture, or that the “War on Terror” may be a farce that is being used to turn us into a Police State.. The problem is that the facts support that WE ARE BEING TURNED INTO ONE!
Wake up Michelle Malkin! You have the power to be a strong voice for the truth, instead of burying your head in the sand when the facts “or missing facts” become too emotionally hard for you to consider..
This “crap sandwich” (to use her words) she wrote attacking a number of different views, is reprehensible in view of the 1st amendment, & the ideal of defeating fascism in any form.. She really should have called it “A Neo-Con Pollution Test” http://michellemalkin.com/2010/02/11/a-gop-pollution-test/
Absolutely shameful journalism (or lack thereof), & I NEVER thought I’d say that about a person who I supported for so long..
