American police state goes into high gear
2004 04 09
From Prison Planet
The past few weeks have seen an explosion of police state measures and bombshell attacks on the God-given freedoms of American citizens. It is vital that we communicate these abuses to the wider public and attempt to redress this disgusting attack on the bill of rights.
Note: Kelly Rushing of Lion County, Kentucky, is facing a year in jail for giving a police officer a videotape. He was arrested for 'terroristic threatening'. An article written by Alex Jones on this case and what you can do to help will follow. Today's edition of the Alex Jones Show will also be posted in full.

Kiss the 4th Amendment Goodbye
