When Did Barry Become The Red Queen?
By Ernest Stewart

"Let the jury consider their verdict," the King said, for about the twentieth time that day.
"No, no!" said the Queen. "Sentence first -- verdict afterward."
"Stuff and nonsense!" said Alice loudly. "The idea of having the sentence first!"
"Hold your tongue!" said the Queen, turning purple.
"I won't!" said Alice.
"Off with her head!" the Queen shouted at the top of her voice.
Alice in Wonderland ~~~ Chapter 12

1984
Knockin' on your door
will you let it come
will you let it run your life
1984 ~ Spirit

"Dare to be naive." ~~~ Buckminster Fuller

'Cause if it's over
Then it's over
And it's driving me insane

Take a walk outside your mind
Tell me how it feels to be
The one who turns
The knife inside of me

Take a look and you will find
There's nothing there, girl
Yeah I swear, I'm telling you, girl yeah 'cause

There's a Hole In My Soul
That's been killing me forever
It's a place where a garden never grows
There's a Hole In My Soul
Yeah, I should have known better
'Cause your love's like a thorn without a rose
Yeah, yeah
Hole In My Soul ~~~ Aerosmith

Those zany knuckleheads over at Barry's Department of Just-Us are at it again. They were in court Saturday to urge a federal judge that Obama's self appointed power to murder US citizens on a whim couldn't be looked into or ruled against because it involved state secrets and hence demanded that he dismiss a law suit brought by the U.S.-born citizen, Anwar al-Aulaqi, who had a contract put out on him.

I can understand why Obama's goons are all over this as it is a clear act of treason. Here Barry clearly surpasses the worst of the "Crime Family Bush's" acts of treason and mayhem. You'd think that Barry, a Harvard educated lawyer, would know better, wouldn't you? While Bush gleefully murdered people without trial or any judicial oversight and clearly got away with those war crimes and crimes against humanity, Barry has taken it a step further in violation of the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Perhaps Barry, like Dubya, thinks "Stop throwing the Constitution in my face. It's just a goddamned piece of paper!" Hmmm?

The acts of treason come in because, as you may recall, Barry swore the following oath before taking office:

"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

Even without a JD, those 37 words seem to be quite clear to me, how about you? Ergo, where does Barry get off declaring he has the right to murder whatever American citizen he wants, without trial or even judicial oversight? This is treason because of the following. From the U.S. Constitution:

Section 3. Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. No person shall be convicted of treason unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open court.

Also Barry's in violation of The Bill of Rights' 5th Amendment:

Amendment V. No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

And yet, I haven't heard much from the same people, i.e. "the liberals" who were calling for Bush and Cheney's heads on a platter for a lot less than this. Funny thing that, huh? Oh, they make a lot of excuses for Barry but none of them ring true. They are just covering up more of our crimes against humanity and this time the crimes against us. Of course, it's just the next stage. As Janet Napolitano said the other day, "The old view that 'if we fight the terrorists abroad, we won't have to fight them here' is just that-the old view." Who are these home-grown terrorists? Why they're the peacers, the antiwar protesters, people who stand up for Palestine, folks who demand that Barry follow and obey the US Constitution, i.e., the "Professional Left!" You know the terrorists according to the FBI are you and me! And they thought Bush was bad. Bush isn't worthy to carry Obama's luggage! As I said back on January 20, 2009, "We Are So Fucked, America!"

In Other News

Big brother has made an all out attack on the Internet this week. From the military's "Cyber Command" to the White House and both houses of Congress come new laws and bills that will all but destroy the Internet as we know it. I'm only surprised that it took them this long to destroy this last outpost of free thought!

War criminal and former CIA boss Michael Hayden wants to shut it down altogether. "Cyberterrorism is such a threat that the U.S. president should have the authority to shut down the Internet in the event of an attack." I'm guessing it doesn't matter whether that attack is real or imagined or false flag? How many attacks on how many sites this would entail wasn't mentioned. There are several billion sites and attack on even 1% of them would, at this time, be impossible. I'm guessing he's talking about attacks on Fox News and CNN? If the Pentagoons can't protect their sites from teenage hackers then they should be shut down!

Hayden said the president currently does not have the authority to shut down the Internet in an emergency. Which begs this question: The US is just a small part of the Internet. Won't all those other countries get just a tad pissed off if we shut down the Internet? In fact, some might think it was an act of war and respond accordingly?

Then there came news that some "Federal law enforcement and national security officials are preparing to seek sweeping new regulations for the Internet, arguing that their ability to wiretap criminal and terrorism suspects is 'going dark' as people increasingly communicate online instead of by telephone."

"Essentially, officials want Congress to require all services that enable communications - including encrypted e-mail transmitters like BlackBerry, social networking Web sites like Facebook and software that allows direct "peer to peer" messaging like Skype - to be technically capable of complying if served with a wiretap order. The mandate would include being able to intercept and unscramble encrypted messages." Oh goodie, so now were just like the Emirates where your every thought is reported to Big Brother. Land of the free my ass!

Notice, they want the carriers to give over anything the government wants if served with a wiretap order, not a legal court ordered wiretap. Just like Bush had from the telephone companies and Obama okayed with that treasonous bill that let the telecoms off the hook for their many violations of US law because some politician told them to!

The bill which the Obama administration plans to submit to lawmakers next year, raises fresh questions about how to balance security needs while protecting privacy and fostering innovation. And because security services around the world face the same problem, it could set an example that is copied globally.

James X. Dempsey, vice president of the Center for Democracy and Technology, an Internet policy group, said the proposal had "huge implications" and challenged "fundamental elements of the Internet revolution" - including its decentralized design.

"They are really asking for the authority to redesign services that take advantage of the unique, and now pervasive, architecture of the Internet," Dempsey said. "They basically want to turn back the clock and make Internet services function the way that the telephone system used to function."

So Big Brother will be legally watching your every keystroke, oh brave new world!

Not to be outdone by the White House and the Pentagoons, members of the House and Senate brought out their own little turkeys to kill the Internet. You might want to remember these two corpo-rat goons when you go to the polls in November?

In the house Henry Waxman who has vowed that he would support the so-called 'Net Neutrality' policy proposals favored by most Democrats and progressives, has instead put forward a little turkey that explicitly prohibits the Federal Communications Commission from regulating broadband Internet under Title II of the Communications Act: a caveat key to implementation of what's been called the Internet's First Amendment. Henry made sure to include in this bill the worst parts of the Google and Verizon dream bill, which would effectively kill Net Neutrality. You might want to let Henry know about your feelings on this.

Then U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy came up with his own little stinker. The Combating Online Infringement and Counterfeits Act. Don't you just love Foggy Bottoms euphemisms? It says it's about copyright infringement but what it's really about is shutting down sites critical of the government!

New legislation requires domain-name registrars to shut down websites suspected of hosting infringing materials and raises serious free-speech concerns, a civil liberties group said Tuesday.

The Combating Online Infringement and Counterfeits Act, "would block free speech on U.S. and foreign websites if they are taken down by registrars and registries," said the Center for Democracy and Technology.

"The bill could also lead to a fragmentation of the Internet, as other countries attempt to enforce their own laws, including censorship, on foreign websites, CDT officials said.

The bill would move the U.S. government toward a policy requiring Internet service providers to be filters of Web content, Harris said during a press conference. "It's going to be blocking orders for intellectual property, then for terrorism or child safety or cybersecurity. New requirements for registries and registrars to take down websites suspected of copyright violations are 'unprecedented in the United States,'" said Leslie Harris, CDT's president and CEO.

Again with the Obama slant, i.e., no proof required only they're suspected, much like his shoot to thrill sanctions on US citizens, no one can be bothered with bringing a court into this. Guilty until proven innocent beyond a shadow of a doubt! Do you see a pattern here America? I do!

And Finally

Back on 12-12-2000 when the judicial coup d'etat went down, led by Tony (light-fingers) Scalia and the gang of five from the Extreme Court, all Crime Family Bush appointees or puppets, I knew deep down it was over for America. After studying poli-sci and history for 40 years, it was impossible to think otherwise.

I also knew it was 30 years too late to stop the juggernaut that was running into this brave new world. We were so close. Had we stayed the course after the fall of Nixon and made those responsible for Vietnam, both Rethuglicans and Demoncrats, pay for their crimes against humanity, crimes against nature, war crimes and the Kennedy coup d'etat that started it all, we might have saved our Republic. No. Instead we stopped marching and protesting and such, cut our hair, put on suits and became our parents!

Instead of prosecuting the traitor Gerald Ford we made jokes about his clumsiness and ignored his several counts of treason and, like the Trick that he pardoned, allowed him to retire with the blood of JFK on his hands as well as all the blood in Southeast Asia!

Jimmy Carter could have put all their heads on chopping blocks but being Cocaine Carter and the Georgia Mafioso that he was, not the simple Christian lusting after his neighbor's wife that he played on TV, again things were no different. It doesn't matter that, like LBJ, he came to his senses and spent the rest of his life trying to make up for what he allowed. Any remaining hope for America was crushed with the advent of Ray-Guns and the Crime Family Bush. We've been rushing down hill ever since.

Unlike Don Quixote who thought he was fighting monsters I knew better. I knew I would only be tilting at windmills on that day. I also knew that my budding career as a writer and my bank account would be over but I also knew that to sit and watch and do nothing made me as bad as them. Actually, it made me worse because I knew back in '72 when I dropped out of my Masters program and turned my hobby of being a DJ into my career so I wouldn't have to teach poli-sci, that I was a coward like the rest of my generation! And unlike most of them, I knew it and did it anyway! Like Graham Nash said in "Almost Cut My Hair," "I feel like I owe it to someone" and I did too so on that day Issues & Alibis was born!

Now it's ten years later and America's ten times worse off and, while I've opened the eyes of a few, damn few, I've mostly spent my time and fortune preaching to the already saved and have become a mere convenience instead of a clarion call for freedom and justice. If Olympus smiles down on me I'll be back on the 15th, if not keep your wicks trimmed and your powder dry! C'est La Guerre, America!

It's Over: UPDATE!

Dear Readers,

I got my walking papers the other day! She wants me G.O.N.E. A.S.A.P.. Trouble is, I done spent all my money financing this magazine and I'm flat broke. I desperately need $1,000 to get me and my stuff back to Detroit and set up housekeeping, before it and I end up on the street walking the 700 miles back to Detroit, and with COPD I don't imagine I'll get very far. If you can help me please do so today. To say that I'm desperate is a vast understatement! HELP! Contact me at: uncle-ernie@journalist.com

Canada is still in the lead of helping your old Uncle get home with Ernie from Ontario sending yet another check. That's three in the last month, thank Zeus for Ernie! Robert from Florida has done much more than his share with two very nice checks and Mike from Sterling Heights has sent a pair of checks my way, too. Thanks guys from the bottom of my heart! Where are the rest of you? Where are my doctor friends like Doctor Bob and Doctor Phil? Guys what I need is mere pocket change to you, a little help please. Where ya at, Ginnie? If you regular folks are still working 9 to 5, can't you lend me a hand in this emergency? If you're as broke as I, don't feel bad, I understand that, don't worry about it, but if you have a job and you've been reading us for free for the last nine years isn't it about time you gave us a helping hand? Guys stay home from the nudie bar this weekend. Buy yourself a 12 pack and rent a porno film and send me the rest. Have no doubt it will be put to good use and you can make it up to "Cleopatra & Bambi" next weekend!

While I now have the money I need to move and I will do just that this weekend, I still need to replace this computer. That's all I need at this moment to keep publishing and I may have a chance at getting a used one that I might be able to afford with just a little more help. On a good note I will get social security checks starting in January but they'll be less than they should be. Apparently one of my former employers deducted SS payments for 15 years but never paid SS. So I'm a few quarters short of getting my due, c'est la vie! Like Meatloaf said, "It's always something!" I'm hoping to be publishing again on the 15th and with your kind help, I will!
