We have given him a physical and we are giving him a little cocktail now: sodium thiopental, pancuronium bromide, and potassium chloride.
And remember: We have the maze, the tasers, and the bullets--the keys to the prison!
Are we not the people of the United States or are we on Death Row too--sentenced to harassment, torture and death if we dare think, question, witness and protest? Look world! Look at what democracy means in the United States! Look at Fascism in the United States!

(If They Come for Me in the Morning).

"Thanks to the Patriot Act, the Military Commissions Act, the expanded powers Congress granted to the NSA, and the new constellations of law enforcement, our First Amendment rights and Fourth Amendment rights have taken a big hit," writes Matthew Rothschild, The Progressive, September 10, 2011). The "warrantless spying" of the NSA under Bush II, "has now become legal by an act of Congress. The Foreign Intelligence Court is even more of a rubberstamp than ever before." The Joint Terrorism Task Forces "have turned campus police, city cops, and sheriffs essentially into FBI agents," and Fusion Centers "combine the most local law enforcement with the FBI, the CIA, and the NSA into what the ACLU calls "the total surveillance society.'"
