   Fourth Amendment We Hardly Knew Ye! By Ernest Stewart
"MSP are claiming to only use the devices when a search warrant is issued or with the consent of the owner. That said, ACLU has requested reports and an explanation of how and when the devices are used. In short, Michigan State Police have hardly cooperated. According to a statement from ACLU, the cost of retrieving these documents would amount to $544,680. To retrieve a single document, ALCU states that Michigan State Police are asking for $272,340. That seems a bit high, no?" ~~~ Taylor Martin "The people that once bestowed commands, consulships, legions, and all else, now concerns itself no more, and longs eagerly for just two things - bread and circuses" ~~~ Decimus Iunius Iuvenalis, a.k.a. Juvenal It's good news week You'll recall that Obamahood was out of the country as the clock clicked down -- Harry Reid stopped debate and rammed it through the Sinate. As the midnight hour approached, the parchment of treason was signed by proxy with an autopen. Whether or not this was legal really doesn't matter since the Con-gress hasn't been following the Constitution since WWII. But do be relieved that back in 2006 one of the "Crime Family Bush's"™ paid flunkeys said it was OK -- just like they said torture was OK, too. Besides, with Obamahood claiming the authority to murder American citizens without any oversight, signing a bill by autopen is the least of our worries -- even if it destroys the Bill of Rights for another four years. Both of my Sinators, Carl Levin and Debbie Stabenow, voted to steal our rights, so you know what I did, don't you? That's right, I wrote them both a letter for whatever good that might do; and since I'm not a billion dollar contributor to their war chest, I'm sure it was immediately filed in the circular file upon receipt. Still, hear it is: Hey Carl,As I told a girl on Facebook the other day, "After a while, you get used to those silent black helicopters following you around. In Other News You may recall that last November, Michigan went from blue to red and began goose-stepping -- destroying off what was good and needed in Michigan. Governor Rick Hitler, er, Adolph Snyder, oops, Rick Snyder started off by making himself more of an emperor than a governor, and had the Con-gressmen and Sinators vote him special dictatorial powers, then began at once to use them. He also gave a billion dollar tax break to the rich and placed a tax on retirees to pay for it! Yes, I know -- just another typical Rethuglican! Rick then gave himself the power to take over any city, village, or county government, and appoint someone to run it with the ability to get rid of any elected officials that he choose to. Break any union contracts without anyone overseeing him, reporting only to der Fuhrer. If you don't like these actions, then you can leave. Either love this fascist takeover of the state or leave it! Where have we heard that before? Not to be outdone, the Michigan State Police, who make the gestapo look like amateurs by comparison now have a little machine called a Cellebrite UFED. This device allows Big Brother to download everything that's on your Smart Phone, iPad, or laptop in about 90 seconds -- every number, every photo, everything -- even some things you've erased! Let me not forget that with a UFED, they can bypass all your passwords, too! Oh, and did I mention they can do this without a search warrant, as they can in California, Florida, and Georgia, to name a few states. Of course, this is in direct violation of the 4th Amendment, which is what the Ohio Supreme Court said in a recent ruling. However, living here under ze "new order" there's no need for a 4th Amendment, as Indiana Supreme Court Justice Steven David said, "There is no modern Fourth Amendment jurisprudence." So how do you like the tea bagger takeover of America, so far? And Finally I see we've been up to no good in Libya again. Apparently, the US Navy's been using cluster bombs and depleted uranium on civilian targets in at least the city of Misratah (and who knows where else?) since April. Of course, we were actually targeting military sites which happen to be in heavily-populated areas, which means with cluster bombs, many more civilians are killed than the military. So much for winning hearts and minds, huh? Word is that Gaddafi is hiding out in hospitals, elementary schools and such. Whether this is true or not isn't the point. The point is that those buildings will no doubt soon become targets for collateral damage in future air strikes as they have in Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia and Pakistan. We wiped out a dozen children and some women the other day in Afghanistan in a NATO airstrike which sent the Afghani president into a tither with talk of throwing NATO out of the country if it happens again. Of course, it will happen again and Hamid Karzai will no doubt give a stirring speech full of sound and fury and signifying nothing -- followed by doing nothing about it! Yes, I left out the bit about being, "A Tale Told By An Idiot" as I thought that was just a bit redundant! Then there was the Al Jazeera video plainly showing western troops on the ground in Libya near Misratah on the front line with the rebels. These "special forces" were playing an active role in the battle, but somehow weren't spotted by American and British "journalists" who were apparently with them -- funny thing that, huh? I've come to rely on Al Jazeera for the news as all of our "journalists" have been "in bed" with the troops like they were in all of our wars since Vietnam -- which was the last one of our wars where there was real journalists that reported the truth, instead of our current crop that reports what der Fuhrer tells them to report, whether the Fuhrer was Ray-guns, King George I or II, Slick Willie or Obamahood. Which is by a strange coincidence why I felt the overwhelming need to get the truth out to as many folks as could stand to hear it! The endless war continues, as it will forever and ever until the treasury is empty -- unless you get up off the couch and put an end to it. To paraphrase "Smoky the Bear," "Only you can prevent, needless, endless wars." I'm pretty sure that you can't be bothered to stop it as you might miss "American Idol" or "Dancing with the Stars" or "The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle," at least until the "Bread and Circuses" run out! Keepin' On It's always something - isn't it? Every week some new unexpected nightmare brought to you by our power elite. It's next to imposible to keep up with it all. For example by December 2002 we had counted and document over two hundred separate acts of treason and sedition by the "Crime Family Bush"™ and their minions. We gave up counting at that point because what was the point to keep counting, when nothing was going to be done about it. As Barry said as soon as he was sworn in that we should forget about the past acts of treason and sedition committed by Smirky, old dead eye Cheney and crew and look only forward, end of conversation, a conversation that got him in the White House. At which point many of the liberal sheeple rolled over and went back to sleep. The main stream media fell in line behind him as they did behind Bush just as soon as they realized that Barry was just more of the same and they started covering up this act of treason or that war crime or crime against humanity, i.e., it was business as usual! It's never been business as usual at Issues & Alibis because as Bart Cop would say "I hate everybody" but isn't that what you want from a news service, someone that hasn't been bought out by either party or as in most cases of the MSM by both parties. Someone that wouldn't let his allegiance to the lesser of two evils blind his site and journalistic abilities. We just tell it like it is and let the chips fall where they may. If you appreciate that then help us out if you can. We're still about $500 short on June's bill, we have raised the other twelve hundred so one of our three yearly bills is coming due in about three weeks time and since my tiny SS check which is 1/3 of what it should be and hence I have no spare money for anything and won't be able to pay it or put it off, so a little help Ya'll, if you would be so kind.
