This Day In Freedom

by Robert L Gisel

“All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent.” - Thomas Jefferson


It's 9/11 today, 8 years since that devastating event that shocked the world. My heart goes out to those who needlessly died that day.

History sometimes repeats itself and the message isn't always easy to take. Some sort of Machiavellian power politics seems to make it "politically correct" to deceive the public with a cover up of obvious criminal activity and get away with it entirely. Among the most notable of these have been the JFK assassination and the destruction of the Twin Towers.

We saw when Warren Commission tried to force off on the people a "lone assassin theory" and give singular credit to Lee Harvey Oswald. This is bogus, no matter how many were assassinated to protect the lie.

Today we're fed the press line that the 3 towers were downed miraculously by 2 airplanes and the "lone assassin theory" being Osama Ben Laden and his Al-Qaeda terrorists. That our country is currently embroiled in two wars over this secret collusion is now spilled milk.

Some bad guys seem to have gotten away with murder. The ex-President is in therapy and you won't hear from him for some time to come. The new President has had to dance with damage control but mostly diverts attention to Health Care. After the astonishing run at criminality of the last administration the public are now led to speculating about Obama with all manner of distrustful accusations.

The real criminals get caught up in the end or make crazy mistakes to reveal their true nature. OJ was sentenced more for the murder than the robbery as it was too hokey to "get away with murder", all the while in scurrilous hiding behind the power of celebrity.

Meanwhile the central banking group, who would hope to control everything financial, has been busy behind the scenes crashing the economy as part of a greater plan. Now that Obama has signed away control of our countries monies to the Bank for International Settlements, and more, with the Basil II agreement (2 April, 2009), this doesn't speak well for our new President.

Nevertheless, with all that has transpired and with all the threats to freedom and human rights, the best answer is still the constitutional government of the United States with it's built-in system of checks and balances. We the People can still tell our legislators our disagreements and effect a majority outcome on the Congressional vote.

Not that it isn't a deadly game, as this day in history remembers on September 11, 2001. Over 3000 died, twice as many were injured, not to mention the many killed in the wars justified by 911.

Back in June 1963 JFK signed into action an Executive Order 10101 to allow the US Government to print it's own money bypassing the Federal Reserve. 5 months later he was assassinated on behalf of the Rothschilds, who have a history of assassination of US Presidents to keep a central bank in place. Our history is loaded with stories of devious and destructive Machiavellian activity to forward the super-rich's personal gain.

There are checks and balances to that as well. The neo-cons brag about how much they can do to the People and get away with because the People let them. Only broad scale complacency, indifference, and majority silence makes that possible. Also blindness, as in the refusal to confront evil.

The climate of freedom in America is deteriorating. The handling is to speak out on any channels one has. Get involved. Run for election, or at least write to your Congressmen and let them know where you stand on the issues that matter. Personal communication from enough people does get their attention as their job depends on your vote. You only have to have the courage to say what you observe. It's your country and planet.

And keep up the faith: American is still the freest country on earth. That we can exercise our Freedom of Speech keeps it so.

Independence Day Prompts a Review of Freedom

by Robert L.Gisel

On this Independence Day one reflects on what's it all for; when not busy sipping beers at the barbecue what message is there to celebrate. The 4th of July came and went, albeit with a weak show of fireworks, evidencing that expensive fireworks were evidently pared down by a tough economy and, it would seem, a less enthusiastic America.

Ailing economy born of real economic abuses, challenges to our civil rights advanced by the past President bent on what could he get away with, his carnage left for the next President to patch up the wounds, these and other contemporary controversies leave one to wonder, are we making it? Various drastic changes over the last 3 centuries in our nation's benchmarks are perhaps not justified by proclaiming these to be mere advancements out of the experience of a nation moving past it's adolescence.

Loyal or not to whence they came, the migrants to America were set on living free of oppression and finding new opportunities to break into more desirable social standing. Freedom, rights, enterprise and lots of space were the draw. The American Revolution only accentuated the pride and integrity of a civilization alive with passion for life. The first outbreak of war was met with the Minutemen, volunteers who grabbed their guns from the hearth in their homes, became instant soldiers in defense of a lifestyle better than any up to that time. A free nation had to be fought for; it wasn't simply granted to us willingly by despots.

We see this fighting spirit in the volunteers that form our Armed Forces to stand watch for freedom around the world today. This patriotic turnout, in calls for support for our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, is still very much appreciated and understood as important to the sovereignty of our nation. This has been the general air during each of wars we have engaged in in the past. The only difference is the growth, the numbers of population and 50 states preclude hiking with rifle from one's house to the war confrontation. The preemptive wars initiated by a President gone mad with power, however, punctuates the challenges of shielding the People from despotic government action. Thus we have the Bill of Rights.

The issues we have with our government today aren't principally any different from issues that have arisen other times in our history. The Patriots Act with its encroachment on human rights is, in the main, actually milder than the 1917 sedition and alien acts that were introduced in Woodrow Wilson's administration, where the nation was besieged by the invasion of Privacy by an army of civilian domestic intelligence and surveillance groups. Earlier in John Adam's presidency his Alien and Sedition Acts were one of the newborn nation's first challenges of the torch for freedom. Subsequent countering of the messages in the Constitution and Bill of Rights from the John D. Rockefeller and other administrations have demonstrated the necessity for watchdogs of rights and freedoms that speak out against dangerous changes that would usurp our rights and freedoms.

Several challenges have occurred, though, that have been new in the cultural progression which strikes a cautious note. Of late the boldness of the President Bush toying with the American People was taken to new heights. His bent was to test, in some weird Machiavellian conceptualization, just how much abuse the People would take and how much he could get away with in the way of greed and covert criminal action. No doubt Obama was brought in to calm everyone down after Bush's excesses, but possibly just so that more abuses could be again injected. The jury is still out on that one.

Another major change has been the extent of drug abuse that has swept society. Psychedelic drugs impair individuals with an irresponsible drug personality that lessens reach and ambition. Truth be known about the human mind, the so-called "mind altering drugs" factually submerge the creativity necessary to beneficent growth and advancement of a culture. The downside to that is a breakdown of human values and morale fiber.

The incept of psychiatry has been another major change in our society. This one stands above them all as genuinely and broadly destructive. No doubt about it it has been more harmful than it has been of help. The 70s drug culture itself was a product of psychiatry, who gave us LSD as well as the false datums that came with the free love and careless pursuit of mind altering addictions. Fomenting false data and twisted truths the conscious path of psychiatry has been to break down concepts of right and wrong, saying these concepts don't exist, while at the same time claiming this to be the test of sanity, the ability to distinguish between right and wrong. We bought into it, bowled over by the thrill of drugs and the excitement of permissive sex.

Psychiatry in society has been a most insidious addition due to it's covert actions and intentional hidden influence. Genocide and it's precursor abortion, segregation, racial discrimination, street drugs addiction and narcotic, psychotropic drugging of children, pregnant women and elderly all have psychiatric source, complete with names and places. These have been movements deliberately initiated by psychiatrists or the psychiatric associations such as the APA who, with a false smile on their faces, will tell you how good it is for you.

Vigilance for Freedom requires a high confront of evil, a strong ability to sanely observe and question. Abrogation of Freedoms and Right is rarely successful in the absence of deceit and deception. The Freedom Fighters that have the courage to stand up for the good of all are greatly appreciated.

Flag in Protest - OK or Not?

By Robert L. Gisel


One man using the American flag upside flown down sparked confusion over the proprietary use of the Freedoms of Speech and Expression in such a quiet protest. Using the timing of the 4th of July Parade to bring a heighten social conscience regarding the refusal to grant his newly established Italian restaurant a liquor license is the catalyst of controversy.

Those thinking it simply a sign of disrespect have have lost touch with heritage in not knowing that the flag flown upside down is a universal distress signal. The man's livelihood and $200.000 on the line, being threatened by government interference, is understandably distressing. The blatant rights violation by the Police in this matter only emphasise the point; ignorance that trammels rights only requires even more protest. In this case, it appears, also a civil rights lawsuit.

It is a text book Public Relations response to use protest PR when normal channels break down and won't function. Fortunately we have a free and democratic nation where speaking one's mind is still permissible. In fact, this will remain so only as long as free and cogent discourse is considered a part of the fabric of freedom.

When the Flag, disposition of, becomes more important that the life of individuals the message of Rights and Freedoms, of which the Flag is only a symbol, has been submerged in ignorance. Perhaps scores of peoples signalling their own personal distresses around the nation would unite the nation in a greater social consciousness.

A Too-candid Letter to Obama

by Robert L. Gisel

Really, I do try to stay out of politics. That's hard to do when the consequence of political action denies freedoms and rights. Being required by law to the enslavement of addicting highly narcotic psychiatric drugs sends up red flags on the encroachment of life.

Psychiatric diagnosis means labeling means prescription to addictive psychiatric drugs. I have been prompted to blog after the recent news I have heard for which I must protest. I searched but found no way to email Obama from his website but I was able to email McCain. They looked like friends the way they shook hands after the debate so I ask McCain to pass on my letter thus:

Senator McCain:

I was unable to find any "contact us" or email link to Barack Obama on his official site, but you see him around at debates etc. Would you forward this to him for me?

Dear Senator Obama,

Some news was just passed to me that greatly concerns me. No, it actually alarms me.

It was told to me you are stoutly pro-psychiatry, that you have more pro votes for those cronies and even bills you co-sponsored than any other Senator. Like the Mother's Act that you co-sponsored (thank God that one was defeated) to require psychiatric examination and evaluation after and before pregnancy for post partum or pre-post partum depression.

Is this true? Or even partly true? Just wait until the hockey mom hears about this, that she was that close to being prescribed black box labeled psychiatric drugs at her last delivery.

These drugs are addictive narcotics that rank on the drug classifications tables as more severe than cocaine. Make no mistake about it, the goal is not evaluation: it is addiction to their drugs that the psychiatrists want.

It was even told to me that on two score psychiatric related bills favoring psychiatric misdeeds Senator McCain voted No and you voted Yes.

You are possibly too young to remember Segregation brought to us by psychiatry. What a mess that was for decades!

The entire rationale for that era came from a vote with no scientific evidence by the American Psychiatric Association. This "mental health disease" had no basis in fact, yet it was put on the list of all mental heath diseases, the Diagnostic Statistical Manual (DSM), to justify the Segregation Movement.

Brace yourself for burning truth. I'm going to tell you what they named it. "Negroitis". This is NOT A JOKE - it is on the list! This is the rationale that the Segregation laws and support were all based on.

Here is what psychiatrists said "Negroitis" is: it is a "Mental Health Disease" that turns your skin black and you are not cured of it until your skin turns white. Furthermore it could be contagious so blacks must be segregated from whites and not use the same water spigots and public facilities.

Nothing could be further from the truth!

This is not, repeat not, a prank, what I write to you here is documented. The best full documentation of this was an expose some years ago by Freedom Magazine revealing the voting methodology that is the only authority behind the declaration of "mental health diseases". It has nothing to do with scientific clinical testing, which hasn't been done.

It was plainly a huge joke by the American Psychiatric Association and by it Segregation was put into law. Do you think it stopped there, this charade?

Today we have "ADHD" with no clinical test or scientific support. How about "Mathematics Syndrome"? Check your figures - you might have it! Here's your meds prescription.

If you want a good laugh, get the DSM yourself and read it.

Today the APA has proclaimed the intention to put every school kid in America on their psych-drugs. Where do you think the new onslaught of school shootings comes from? This is a published side effect of the now-black-box-labeled narcotic drugs Ritalin, Prosac (the leaders) and others. There is now a whole string of derivatives under different names and all are still as lethal.

Why would the FDA require posting of these warning labels? It 's because the side effects are tendency to violence and increased propensity to suicide. Violence and suicide.

One for one school shootings have been linked to these drugs and psychiatric evaluation. It is a true statistic: the more school kids on these "meds" the more school aged suicides. It is an embracive graph!

Maybe you have been, pardon me for bluntness, ignorant of these facts. Now you know them, if you have read this far in the letter. Really, you're off your rocker to be a friend of psychiatry. I'm sorry, I have to say it like it is.

I had (slightly) considered the idea of voting for you. I have friends who (mistakenly?) want to vote for you. Can you deny these searing rumors, say it isn't so, or denounce psychiatry now?

I must speak out loud and clear against anyone for President who believes any good can come from psychiatry who, by their own admission, has cured no one. Check your facts! And vote the other way.

This pains me. I am so nonpolitical that to now feel compelled to get politically involved and go national with this news is outside my preferences. Act fast I do, however, so I look forward to a rapid response.

Sincerely,
Robert L. Gisel

P.S. Senator McCain, thanks for passing this to Obama. If you won't see him soon just read it to the press, he'll get the message. It's okay to publish this. In fact please, please do.

P.P.S. Don't let Sarah see this as she will pit-bull him for real!

So, I publish another outspoken blog post. No doubt the APA would like to label me crazy to shut me up. I will continue to have the courage to say what I observe. If you cherish your life keep it out of the hands of the psychs.

If you agree, or disagree, let me know in your comments here.

It's a Public Service Not a Porn Store

by Robert L Gisel


The issue of offering WiFi service on Airlines and whether to filter off porn is an interesting one and has elicited many diverse comments in a lively discussion. It's good to see the lively debate as this is after all a democracy. The matter of rights is also forwarded in the comments following the article but this actually is not an issue.

Common decency and fair play alone will find the airlines observing the rights of others as they regularly would extend politeness and courtesies to their fares. After all they want your business. Don't be surprised though if they later refuse your business after you have done something unthinkably distasteful like deliberately urinate in the aisle way.

Doing business with someone is a matter of mutual agreements and accord not divine right.

In the article the matter is brought up whether the Airlines offering in flight WiFi should filter porn sites so that passengers next to the porn user are not violated by the openly public porn. This is my response to this article and the ensuing comments.

http://current.newsweek.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-c.cgi

"As Pat says:

'All good comments. The airlines, like all businesses, have the right to limit activities on their premises.'

"While I am an ardent advocate of human rights I also recognize that property is property, it is owned. The airplane belongs to the Airline and you are their guest, albeit a paying guest.

"It is really a question of proprietorship on the part of the airlines and manners on the part of the customers. The Airline transports people but also assumes responsibility for their safety as well as customer satisfaction. If you don't like what happens on the flight say so to the Airline or fly with a different carrier. Or take the train. The Airline doesn't have to sell you a ticket to travel on their airplanes if they feel you put their business at risk. Passengers sharing the space with others must be considerate of others as they would be in any public spaces.

"That said, the Airline would have to use a filter delicately limited to porn and nudity and not one that blocks out U-Tube and other non-offensive sites by overlarded blocking. Also the light and noise may invade others sleep besides the open porn that flaunts one's sensibilities. So why not block off a separate area for those who want to use cell phones and laptops. But bring back the smoking section while you are at it."

RightsFreedomsandRights.blogspot.com

The issue should be very simple if you see it as in this example: you loaned your laptop to a friend you would be of rights to ask your friend not to log on to any porn sites. If he fails to heed your reasonable request you can refuse in the future to lend him your laptop. Furthermore if you want to have porn blocks on your laptop prior to lending the computer you are completely of rights to do so. This is even true if you rent it to your friend for a month or so.

Your friend's 1st Amendment or 4th Amendment Rights have nothing to do with this. The disposition of your property is totally up to you. In this same light a restaurant owner has control over the customers of his restaurant, a cabbie of his fares and of course the airline of what happens inside the plane.

In this wise a proper perspective can be maintained and rights not trammeled on or forced into a situation where inapplicable.
