The president has committed treason and staged a coup, as of October 1st he has his own military of 3000-4000 soldiers in the U.S according to the army times. This has not happened since 1807. He also now controls 100 Billion dollars due to the bailout fine print. This is similar behavior of dictators establishing a police state as seen through history, Mussolini did this in Italy in 1920 and Hitler did this in Germany in 1933 while these countries were still democracies.

We must call all District Attorney's to use their power to arrest the president.

Our policy makers are being threatened with martial law. This is not acceptable in a democracy and history has shown this same behavior by Mussolini just a short time before shutting down a country completely.

Please watch Naomi Wolfe's video. She has looked at where people faced a closing society and succeeded in restoring a democracy. She has some urgent solutions in order to save our democracy.

One of the most critical things to do now is arrest the people who have staged this coup of our country before they use martial law.

Anyone heard of this?

International Politics October 26, 2006

Forget no-fly lists. If Uncle Sam gets its way, beginning on Jan. 14,
2007, we'll all be on no-fly lists, unless the government gives us
permission to leave-or re-enter-the United States.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (HSA) has proposed that all
airlines, cruise lines-even fishing boats-be required to obtain
clearance for each passenger they propose taking into or out of the
United States.

It doesn't matter if you have a U.S. Passport - a "travel document"
that now, absent a court order to the contrary, gives you a virtually
unqualified right to enter or leave the United States, any time you
want. When the DHS system comes into effect next January, if the
agency says "no" to a clearance request, or doesn't answer the
request at all, you won't be permitted to enter-or leave-the United
States.

Consider what might happen if you're a U.S. passport holder on
assignment in a country like Saudi Arabia. Your visa is about to
expire, so you board your flight back to the United States. But wait!
You can't get on, because you don't have permission from the HSA.
Saudi immigration officials are on hand to escort you to a squalid
detention center, where you and others who are now effectively
"stateless persons" are detained, potentially indefinitely, until
their immigration status is sorted out.

Why might the HSA deny you permission to leave-or enter-the United
States? No one knows, because the entire clearance procedure would be
an administrative determination made secretly, with no right of
appeal. Naturally, the decision would be made without a warrant,
without probable cause and without even any particular degree of
suspicion. Basically, if the HSA decides it doesn't like you, you're
a prisoner - either outside, or inside, the United States, whether or
not you hold a U.S. passport.

The U.S. Supreme Court has long recognized there is a constitutional
right to travel internationally. Indeed, it has declared that the
right to travel is "a virtually unconditional personal right." The
United States has also signed treaties guaranteeing "freedom of
travel." So if these regulations do go into effect, you can expect a
lengthy court battle, both nationally and internationally.

Think this can't happen? Think again. It's ALREADY happening. Earlier
this year, HSA forbade airlines from transporting an 18-year-old a
native-born U.S. citizen, back to the United States. The prohibition
lasted nearly six months until it was finally lifted a few weeks ago.
Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union are two countries in recent history
that didn't allow their citizens to travel abroad without permission.
If these regulations go into effect, you can add the United States to
this list.

For more information on this proposed regulation, see http://

From Wonkette:

Our paranoid friends over at Bring It On have put together a story
that hasn't exactly made Washington Whispers. It's real short and real
simple:

    * The Cuban news service reports that George W. Bush has purchased
98,840 acres in Paraguay, near the Bolivian/Brazilian border.

    * Jenna Bush paid a secret diplomatic visit to Paraguayan
President Nicanor Duarte and U.S. Ambassador James Cason. There were
no press conferences, no public sightings and no official confirmation
of her 10-day trip which apparently ended this week.

    * The Paraguayan Senate voted last summer to "grant U.S. troops
immunity from national and International Criminal Court (ICC)
jurisdiction."

    * Immediately afterwards, 500 heavily armed U.S. troops arrived
with various planes, choppers and land vehicles at Mariscal
Estigarribia air base, which happens to be at the northern tip of
Paraguay near the Bolivian/Brazilian border. More have reportedly
arrived since then.

I thought all of the Citgo's in town were gone but today I went to the 7-eleven by SPSCC and filled up my car with Venezuelan Citgo gas.

To find the closest Citgo to you:  http://www.citgo.com/CITGOLocator/StoreLocator.jsp

Read Jeff Cohen's report on his visit to Venezuela.
