So now the FIFTH admendment is under attack by Bush.. How is this Constitutional? Do we still live in the USA?

Question

President Bush unveiled an executive order that allows the administration to block bank accounts and any other financial assets that might be found in this country belonging to people, companies or groups that the United States deems are working to threaten stability in Iraq.

Bush cited the ``unusual and extraordinary threat'' to national security and foreign policy of the United States ``posed by acts of violence threatening the peace and stability of Iraq and undermining efforts to promote economic reconstruction and political reform in Iraq and to provide humanitarian assistance to the Iraqi people.''

This means ANYONE who speaks out against the war in Iraq!

Do you REALLY think that this was meant for what they said it was meant for? It freezes accounts in the USA...not the "terrorists" accounts overseas!

So according to a "FEW" of you, it is wrong to be against or speak out against the war in Iraq. Again, I ask...Do we still live in the USA?

Mission...Oh, so, the Republicans (which, if I remember correctly BUSH is) wanting to leave the border wide open is OK and is a way to defeat "terrorism?" Or the fact that they want to give amnesty to illegal aliens without a background check? (sorry, a day for a background check isn't a way to do it) Or how about letting GANG members who are illegal aliens stay is a way to fight "terrorism?"

Wow...thanks for clarifying that for me!

Answer 1

It is amazing how many people will not research or look at the whole picture themselves...the asker of the question is not saying anything other than what is happening and everyone else takes it as an opportunity to shoot her down in flames with sarcasm and childish comments.
The manouevres and media manipulation are all slipping into place for Bush to rule as a despot - which is ironic because he is allegedly against that.
It is slowly becoming a police state, and yes you are correct, anyone who speaks negatively against the Bush regime now runs the risk of being 'accused' and cast down to hades.
Nobody on here is funding terrorist cells, that's not the point. Anyone who speaks against the govt is now placed in a precarious position. Look and learn from your history; Hitler used similar methods and did not even bother to conceal them. Bush is using similar methods of propaganda and media manipulation and concealing them very well...so much so that most of the population are oblivious to it.
It is the classic breakdown of society...split, divide, and conquer. If people are in minorities with their beliefs they are shot down, whether they are right or wrong. The minority rarely gets listened to.
An example of this; Charlie Sheen spoke out about 9/11 and answers to questions he would like answered. This was not shown in my country on the news networks, I saw this on a DVD of that horrible day. Yet at the same time, I was subjected to a three minute article of how generous Americans were with charitable donations...surely a hollywood actor questioning his own government is newsworthy too? Especially when you consider the Sheen name in Hollywood.
Look at the whole picture of what the US governemnt are trying to achieve and it is global control. Hang on a minute though; Didn't Hitler invade several countries searching for 'Lebensraum' or living space for German people? Why do you think borders with Canada & Mexico are being removed?
Rather than shoot people down, try doing a little research of your own, rather than brushing it off as nonsense.
This is the whole reverse psychology the government are relying on to pull off what they want...it is so ridiculous to suggest things against them, so people naturally think their govt are there to protect and serve....
Please don't reply with venom in your answers, just acknowledge that there are always two sides to a story and that everything needs research and answers...if the US govt AND the English govt have nothing to hide...answer a few simple questions...easy as that.

Additional....

Forgot to say also, that it is strange so many 'new' acts are being passed in close proximity to one another, all favouring the Bush administration, and slowly but surely removing rights...isn't this what we're still in Iraq for? To give the people their rights?

Answer 2

I would check out several of the sites on the net concerning soveriegnty. Your constitutional rights have already been under attack for longer than most of us have been around. You could start your search by understanding the difference between "Common Law" and "UCC Law". Your rights under Common Law or Constitutional Law were nearly done away with in 1933 when President Franklin D. Roosevelt "sold" the country and all inhabitants into a "virtual slavery" to the International bankers by instituting the Uniform Commercial Code. UCC now regulates every facet of your daily life. If you don't beleive this just get a jeweler's magnifying eyepeice and check out the line on the front of your personal checks where you sign your name. You are blindly led into contract every time you sign your name without knowing exactly what every word on whatever document you are signing "means". Before signing anything make sure you look up every word in Black's Legal Dictionary. If you want to challenge the authority, you must first remedy all instances where you unknowingly gave "consent" which gives someone authority over you.

Answer 3

Imagine if you will the following scenario.
The racist criminal organizations whom are attempting to take over portions of the US for the people of Aztlan, and whom our Government has supported by attempting to give amnesty to, become violent as they have publicly threatened.
American citizens fight back to save their country.
Because our resistance forces the government to bring home troops to control the factions, these troops must be brought home from Iraq.
Under the terms of this act, we can be declared subversives, have our assesets frozen and made criminals for defending our country.
Don't laugh, with any thought at all, anyone could see this as feasible.
How many more rights will you sacrifice before you realize that our country is doomed to become a part of The New World Order. We will be ruled by the UN, our constitution will be no more than the "worthless piece of paper" Bush called it, and we will have no rights, elections, or say in how our lives are led.
There is no difference in the political parties.
The republicans will weaken our rights and our country, the Democrats will then be forced to look to the UN to establish peace when we fight back and it is over, America will have lost its sovereignty.
This is not a joke, look at how our rights are being slowly taken away.

Answer 4

We are too busy worrying about how much money Hillary raised to realize that the Due process of the law is not important to Americans anymore. He will soon be serving a third term to do extraordinary circumstances. This will be funny when Hillary has all these powers. The congress better wake up. The only people who seem to care are the members of the ACLU and everyone considers them crazy.

Answer 5

Since we only make charitable donations to local organizations that benefit Americans, I'm not worried. If the gov't blocks assets of those suborning terrorists, I consider that about that the same as economic sanctions on Castro Cuba. If people in the US are providing aid to insurgents in Iraq, I would believe those people do not consider our own security important either. If they block charitable donations to aid the common and noncombatant citizens who simply are not aligned religiously or politically with the Iraqi government, that would be wrong. Humanitarian aid should not discriminate.

Answer 6

It wouldn't be too bad (and actually would be a great thing) if this new order was going to be used ONLY to fight our enemies. But sadly and with increasing frequency, policies like these are being used to target and persecute AMERICANS who oppose this administration's Gestapo tactics against anyone who thinks and GODFORBID! speaks out against the self serving, arrogant, failed policies of Bush & Co.

History speaks for itself, and I am confident that it will prove what an ignorant, arrogant, hypocritical, money grubbing fool this Bush has turned out to be. Judging by the latest polls, more and more Americans are rejecting him and his policies. Too bad that those running for President don't look or sound any better than this fool, both Repubs and Democrats. Looks like another presidency with good old boy cronyism, broken promises, and lies is headed our way.

If giving aid and comfort to terrorists or those who support them is covered by this policy, Bush should make a good first example out of his father, who is friends and more importantly business partners with the Saudis, Big Supporters of terrorism.

Answer 7

Well . . . If some business here is funding something over there which results in death and destruction, wouldn't you want to stop it?
I don't think I understand you.
I'm going to go stand in the corner and think about it for a while.

Answer 8

never ask what your country can give you but what you can give to your country.
if you truly believe that this is no longer USA, then you should do something to make this the way you see fit.
joining political party could help.

Answer 9

No, we live in third world Amexica.

Bush has already said he wouldn't know what is constitutional and what isn't.

Answer 10

No, by speaking out the against the war, you are not providing material support to our enemies. You are reading way too deeply into the order and shouting "Fire" in a crowded theater. We need to fight our enemies and this is another means to combat terrorism and those who suborn it.
