Does all of this sound familiar to you?
August 14th, 2007A list of crimes from a different age, applicable to today:
He has refused his assent to laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
True.
He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.
Very familiar.
He has dissolved representative houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.
The Greater London Council.
He has made judges dependent on his will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
VERY true.
He has erected a multitude of new offices, and sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance.
This is the absolute truth in Britain, and is so totally applicable it beggars belief.
He has kept among us, in times of peace, standing armies without the consent of our legislature.
War without a declaration of war, armed soldiers scattered throughout London.
He has affected to render the military independent of and superior to civil power.
The military industrial complex.
He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his assent to their acts of pretended legislation:
The EU.
For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
One for the Iraqis methinks.
For protecting them, by mock trial, from punishment for any murders which they should commit on the inhabitants of these states:
ROTFL ‘Diplomatic Immunity’!!!!
For imposing taxes on us without our consent:
True.
For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of trial by jury:
Bliar’s work. Sad and oh so true.
For transporting us beyond seas to be tried for pretended offenses:
Extraordinary Rendition.
For taking away our charters, abolishing our most valuable laws, and altering fundamentally the forms of our governments:
Absolutely applicable: Glass–Steagall Act for example.
For suspending our own legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.
This is coming…from the EU.
He has abdicated government here, by declaring us out of his protection and waging war against us.
All Britons to be numbered like prisoners; that is, by any measure, an act of war.
He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burned our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.
So true, and applicable in so many ways.
He is at this time transporting large armies of foreign mercenaries to complete the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of cruelty and perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy of the head of a civilized nation.
The ‘War on Terror’, EU enlargement. The legions of foreigners who are invited to Britain who they then deliberately provoke unto madness, causing them to carry out the acts of madmen.
He has constrained our fellow citizens taken captive on the high seas to bear arms against their country, to become the executioners of their friends and brethren, or to fall themselves by their hands.
The traitorous double agents, collaborators and quislings.
He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavored to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian savages, whose known rule of warfare, is undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.
I think you get THAT picture.
