...A foundation of our Republic is the rule of Law. That Law specifies that Might does not make Right. That the Government is Mightier than any Individual should not matter; the Individual should not be crushed under the onslaught of Her or His Government. The Law treats Government the same as an Individual, in a court of Justice with Trial by Jury. Last time I checked the United States Constitution was officially still the Supreme Law of my country.
"The Trial of all Crimes, except in Cases of Impeachment, shall be by Jury." - Article III, Section 2, Clause 3.
"I pledge allegiance to my Flag, and to the Republic for which it stands; one Nation indivisible, With Liberty and Justice for all." – Pledge of Allegiance, 1892
Former SAS Trooper Ben Griffin refused to continue fighting for the United Kingdom in Iraq in 2006 after observing arrests, interrogations, imprisonment, and "most probably" torture by US Armed Forces against Iraqi civilians. He stated "I did not join the British Army to conduct American foreign policy."1 Last week, he issued a statement charging the joint US/UK task force he served with has "broken International Law, contravened The Geneva Conventions and disregarded the UN Convention Against Torture." He refers to acts of rendering individuals detained by British forces to locations such as Guantanamo Bay Detention Camp, Bagram Theatre Internment Facility, Balad Special Forces Base, Camp Nama BIAP and Abu Ghraib Prison where they would knowingly be tortured with partial drowning or electric cattle prods.2 Following his February 29th speech at the London World Against War rally, he was served with an injunction from the UK government limiting his ability to publicly speak about or publish material gained while he was employed as a Trooper. 3
The Iraq War is unconstitutional since Congress never Declared War. The torture Mr. Griffin alleges our Armed Forces committed are not acts of war, they are criminal acts. It is the responsibility of the Legislative Branch to: "To define and punish Piracies and Felonies committed on the high Seas, and Offences against the Law of Nations; To declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water." – Article 1, Section 8, Clauses 10-11
In Canton, Ohio, police were summoned to protect Mrs. Hope Steffey from domestic violence. She mistakenly gave the wrong ID, and the police apparently proceeded as if she were the criminal, not the Sovereign US Citizen who summoned her local police force to her aid. She was taken to a prison cell, forcibly stripped of all her clothes and forcibly cavity-searched against her will by male and female deputies.4 Hope Steffey's recent story and disturbing video as aired by WKYC Channel 3.5 If validated, this is in clear violation of the Constitution of the United States as per the below:
"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized." – 4th Amendment
"The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence." – Article 4, Section 4
(An aside here notes Ohio is soon-to-be site of presidential primaries, and as I write no mention of this alleged travesty was found in MainStreamMedia. Loss of liberty does not appear to be newsworthy.)...
