Isn’t the whole country “supposed to be” a free speech zone? Now consider a Constitution Free Zone, a zone where you have zero Constitutional protections. So, forget its first ten amendments, our Bill of Rights, too.
This started long ago, but was prescribed steroids on September 11th, 2001, our new Pearl Harbor (google PNAC, Plan for a New American Century). The people were told they need to be, and would be protected. The people then demanded that protection, and here we are, living amidst Franklin’s warning from 1759, “Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.” Largely, we’re getting neither.

The problem is we’re not in charge, nor is our elected government (not that we’d really want that in many cases) – we agree with the proposed Deep State notion or Double Government theory (also at CATO Institute with video & audio downloads). You could also view the video, “The Secret Government: The Constitution in Crisis,” which is available at the top right of most of our pages.
If you can’t stand the heat, indeed. Me thinks it’s time to get out of the kitchen!
As Glennon puts it, “The term Orwellian will have little meaning to a people who have never known anything different, who have scant knowledge of history, civics, or public affairs, and who in any event have never heard of George Orwell.” – Boston Globe
