BY THE ENEMY AMONG US

(Dec. 16, 2011) — Past a certain age, treachery loses its sting. The spouse who cheats on you, the friend who stabs you in the back, the colleague who claims credit for your work–all seem so ordinary in the world we live in, that crying over such matters becomes hyperbole.
But today’s treachery, the passage of the NDAA, the “indefinite detention act,” calls for extended mourning and a funeral. It signifies the formal end of freedom in our country, the blatant but largely ignored murder of the US Constitution by the traitors (our senators and congressmen and president) who serve the vampires (the banking and corporate elite).
“Don’t it always seem to go that you don’t know what you’ve got ’til it’s gone,” sang Joni Mitchell in her famous song from the 1970s. Unfortunately, most Americans didn’t know what they had: Constitutional illiteracy is widespread. And most don’t know what they’ve lost. Football, TV, shopping and holiday mania take precedence over real citizenship.
But Gunter Spens knows. Formerly an East German soldier who refused to arrest or detain his fellow citizens, he was recently interviewed by Alex Jones, and provides personal testimony to the parallels between the East German Stasi and US Homeland Security. He implores Americans to read the Constitution and understand our rights. You can do so here.
