Will You Stand Up and Reject Totalitarianism?

Learned From the TrayvonÂ MartinÂ Shooting

Let me begin
by saying that most Americans donÂ’t have a clue just who George
Orwell was or what an Orwellian nightmare means. We have dumbed
down to such a state of ignorance that government tyranny is easily
facilitated despite our Bill of Rights.

Washington,
DC Â– Before the early-1970s most Americans did not have
a photo ID. Pictures were not on driverÂ’s licenses. You could
board airplanes without ID and you along with your luggage were
never searched. You could travel the roads unmolested without those
sobriety checkpoints. Cops were never searching bags in city subways.

Taxes and bogus
fines did not rise to the level of slavery like they do today. There
were no photo radar and red light cameras generating millions for
private contractors that kick back cash to politicians campaigns.

Entrances into
government buildings did not have security checkpoints. There were
no surveillance cameras and cellphones that kept a total history
of every call you ever sent or received. There were no black boxes
in your car to tell government agents about your driving habits.

If police stopped
anyone it was painfully slow for cops to even get driving or criminal
histories. Now they have instant digital access. Stores did not
have shopperÂ’s cards recording every cash purchase you make.
Credit cards were not often used and there was no such thing as
a debit card.

The military
was precluded since the Civil War from engaging in law enforcement
practices against Americans on our own soil. You could not be detained
by government without probable cause that you committed a crime
and even then you had a right to bail, lawyers and Due Process of
law.

There were
many fewer search and seizure exceptions allowed by court decisions.
The failed Drug War was little more than a lame excuse to steal
liberty and privacy.
