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!

A long time ago Sentence Butcher in Chief, Jorge W. Bush, said something to the effect that you are either with “us” or with the terrorist enemy.  John McInsane has made his choice: http://www.infowars.com/send-john-mccain-to-guantanamo-bay/.  McInsane has met with and is supporting Al-CIA-da terrorists (rebels) in Syria.

(Light up the bat signal.  Google.)

I’m really tired of this has-been communist traitor.  I’ve said for years he soaked up some local bugs at that VC prison.  That much is obvious from his voting record.  He’s one of the biggest war-mongers in Amerika – and he, better than anyone, should know better.  Now his true colors are plain for the world see.  That is, if anyone cares to look.  I have friends who supported this nut in his run against President Obama in 2008.  I’m confident they still have no regrets.  After all, he was the famous “lessor of two evils.”  Just looks evil to me.

This all makes sense in a way.  Obama has formally turned Bush’s war of incompetent incomprehensibility into a war of psychotic fantasy.  Al-CIA-da is (once again) our ally, even as we still fight them is some dark corners.  This would be like FDR fighting Hitler in Europe while supporting him in North Africa.

Anyway, I would call for McCain’s resignation, impeachment, or prosecution but people like him and what he stands for.  He’s a “war hero” after all.  It must have taken a lot of guts to bomb people from 10,000 feet and then spend years learning the ins and outs of Marxism.  And, remember, he’s better than Obama (though no-one can find one reason why).

You’ll note that Dr. Paul hasn’t been to Syria or anywhere else to meet with our frienemies.  Then again, he’s still a crazy nut.  Thank God the GOP was smart enough to nominate “conservatives” like McInsane and Mittens.

Once you recover from your Memorial Day gluttony, start planning your Independence Day frivolity.  We have a lot to celebrate!

Happy (or mournful) Memorial Day, 2013!  I thought about writing something about Decoration Day but the irrepressible Tom DiLorenzo beat me to it over at LRC:  http://lewrockwell.com/dilorenzo/dilorenzo255.html.

Yesterday I had the privilege of speaking to and worshiping with the congregation of Franklin Covenant Baptist Church in EXTREME south Richmond County, Georgia.  The topic was the criminal abuses plaguing the Richmond County (Augusta) Sheriff’s Office and jail system.  The response was overwhelmingly ( I think unanimously) positive!  I found a Biblical tie-in for the talk: those in RC, First California Bank, and A&S Commisary Services are the modern-day money changers in our temple of justice.  It’s time to drive them out!

Rev. Strowbridge delivered a thought-provoking sermon on the importance of remembering and memorializing all that God does for us, not just on Memorial Day, but everyday.  I look forward to a return trip to FCBC!

I have a few things I’ve been meaning to get around to over the past week or so:

I have written extensively about the Posse Comitatus Act here and elsewhere.  A week ago Vox Day posted a chilling note at Vox Popoli:  http://voxday.blogspot.com/2013/05/us-military-unilaterally-overturns.html.  It seems the Imperial military has taken it upon itself to decide when and where to illegally usurp what little freedom remains in Amerika and to impose martial law.  Why bother Congress and the President, anyway?

(I did not independently verify this but I trust Vox.  D.O.D. [SIC])

The Boston martial law/ false-flag proved this will not only be accepted WHEN (not if) it happens but that it will be cheered by the sheep.  This is a little something extra to consider on this latest State Worship …uh… Memorial Day.  By the way, you’ll note that Vox calls it the “Ciceronian historical cycle.”  Though I tend to refer to it as the “Plato” cycle, both are correct – and REAL.  I don’t argue with Vox.

My friend and Congressional representative, John Barrow, sent me a flyer in the mail this weekend.  It is entitled: “Congressman John Barrow Is…At Your Service.”  It lists some of the more popular programs with which John can help the constituents of Georgia’s 12th district.  You can see something similar at www.barrow.house.gov.  If you’re not in the GA-12 (lucky you…) your Congresscritter can be found on-line at www.house.gov.

You and I are not interested in programs and freebies but it is nice to hear from our representatives that they still serve us.  John is a good guy – he tolerates my madness rather well!  I wonder if he could help me get the NFA/GCA repealed or, selfishly, get me exempted by private law (we haven’t covered those, have we?).

Saturday I went Putt-Putting with my favorite girl!  I bested her over 36 holes.  Alas, my edge is fading fast.  I won the first round by 3 points, the second by only 2.  I suppose by next summer she will be letting Daddy win…  And!  She flat-out beat me at air hockey, 7 – 6…  Afterwards we enjoyed the new Oz movie.  I actually liked it.  It was a happy day.

One step forward, 8 pounds back.  My program has suffered over the past month or so (much like my writings).  I attribute this to sitting in a metal box three hours a day to and from another box where I sit the remainder of the day doing law-ish stuff.  The fun has imposed on my gym time and I have slipped a bit in the nutrition department.  In my defense, when I exercise I’ve been trying to gain muscle mass.  I’ve been eating accordingly too.  So, some of the return weight is good.  However, my new, smaller pants and belts tell me some of it is also bad.  So, today I re-imposed the old routine which shed so many pounds.  I aim to right the ship by next week!  I’m sure you’re thrilled…  And now, let’s see what happening …

In the news:

A key bridge on I-5 collapsed last week.  Fortunately, there were no fatalities and very minor injuries.  Also fortunate is the fact there is plenty of money standing by for the rebuilding effort.  Can you imagine what it would be like if we ran a huge corporate welfare state and a series of pointless, money-draining wars!?  Ha!

Drudge reports today that more than 6,700 Americans have died (for nothing) since Washington launched its war for corporate profits in Afghanistan.  Can any of you come up with one thing we’ve gained for this aggression, other than the dead?

Have you noticed a lack of heads rolling yet due to the IRS “scandal?”  Me too.

Etc.  It’s a slow news day…
