The American Hoax is Called "Freedom"


Your freedom is being stolen from you, and you are not as free as you think.

Pay attention.

You have never thought about the Third Amendment to the Constitution, and so this is happening right under your nose. There isn’t any way to overstate this. Here’s how and why.

You know about the First Amendment, because you object immediately to anyone saying that you cannot speak. You know about the Second Amendment because of continuous arguments about guns. You know about the Fourth Amendment, sort of, because it’s disturbing to get searched by cops because you had a taillight out. You know about the Fifth Amendment because you hatehatehate that “those people” do not have to testify that they have broken the law. Obviously.

But you don’t care about the Third. Why not? Here’s what it says:
"No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law."

What was it meant to do?

The Third Amendment is intended to protect citizens' rights to the ownership and use of their property without intrusion by the government.

Well, then, where’s the problem? Nobody in the Army wants to live in my house!

It’s that “intrusion by the government”.
See, governments of any size DO have a vested interest in the existence and conduct of its citizens – this is why we have a Census, among other things – but there’s more.

Your information is constantly extracted from everything you do.

Where the presence of soldiers in your home in the 18th Century would suppress any ideas you might have about the proper conduct of government contrary to the status quo, the data mining made possible by networking makes it possible to anticipate and suppress ideas you might have before they are fully formed.

Take a look at this. Can you name who might have organized things such that the identical script was followed by dozens of television stations? Oh, sorry – did you actually trust that smiling face on your TV before I showed you that?
Are you trying to claim that your station, your favorite doesn’t say what others write for her? 

Please stop. You're being stupid.

Okay. It gets worse:

Have you thought about what happens if you don’t pay your taxes? In case you don’t want to say it, I will: if you don’t pay your taxes, the Sheriff of your county will come and forcibly remove you from your property. Your possessions, no matter how many or few, are yours – move them or lose them.
Well, what if you pay your taxes?
Check this case, Kelo v New London. The local government was induced to condemn the homes of local citizens who were completely up to date on their taxes AND who had no criminal record. Those people went to court and failed to keep their homes, as the ruling was that the city of New London acted properly in using eminent domain to force the transfer of private property to a development company. This company actually billed the people whose homes they would destroy for daring to live there during the time it took to go to court - and then the development company failed, leaving bare ground where homes once stood.

Yeah. Go all gooey listening to Lee Greenwood sing about how free you are. I can promise you that’s amusing to the tax man - and to others who have real power over you.

But hey – I’m not done. It gets better – and here’s where the 3rd, 4th and 5th Amendments all get trashed!
Look at the 4th Amendment:

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

You have no opportunity whatsoever to exercise your rights in an occupied home, do you? You also have no opportunity to exercise them when you have volunteered all your information.
When you advertise probable cause for anything government might object to, why would the government even bother with your rights?

Simple.
They won’t.
And - they aren't.
 
The Internal Revenue Service is now being directed to examine transactions of just $600 and above. Yes - six hundred dollars. Even as this number may be changed in political jiggery-pokery, modern data collection methods make it possible to determine your household's tendencies with respect to accepting public policy - up to and including obeying the law.
Target, for Christ's sake, was and is able to tell if you have a family member who has tested positive on a pregnancy test - not by snooping, but by watching your purchase patterns.
 
You really have no idea how your information is collected, DO you?
 
Don't worry about the laws which exist now - think about the laws you were sure would never appear. Look around to see things already here, like police in schools and papers to travel.

And central control of the economy. Look for "Fednow", and realize that it will allow anonymous blocking of transactions,
