US Suspends Constitution in Permanent World War on Terror - "By making a few subtle changes to a regulation in the U.S. Code titled “Defense Support of Civilian Law Enforcement Agencies” the military has quietly granted itself the ability to police the streets without obtaining prior local or state consent, upending a precedent that has been in place for more than two centuries."
Another Nail in the Neocon Coffin, by Llewellyn H. Rockwell, Jr. - "Be decent. Be human. Do not be deceived by the Joe Bidens, the John McCains, the Barack Obamas and Hillary Clintons. Reject the biggest government program of them all.  Peace builds. War destroys."

US Declares War on Us - by Becky Akers - "...more pernicious is "the Department’s" deliberate misreading of the Bill of Rights. That document never refers to "citizens" but purposefully to "people."
