Radio Show Hour 2 – 08/19/2024

* Guest: Lowell Nelson – CampaignForLiberty.org, RonPaulInstitute.org

* Tyranny in the UK – Can it Happen Here? – Ron Paul.

* Not only could it happen here, but it IS happening here!

The government learned an important lesson during Covid. The government can lean on private businesses to do their dirty work for them. It was the private sector that silenced and deplatformed people, but at the behest of the statists in government.

Ron writes, “It is only a half-step away from forbidding us from expressing our thoughts on a virus to sending us to prison for expressing other thoughts the government does not like. And maybe worse.

* Benjamin Franklin, “free speech, if you can keep it.”

* The FBI ‘Visits’ Scott Ritter – Judge Andrew Napolitano.

* “Government spying is rampant in the US, and the feds regularly engage in it as part of law enforcement’s well-known antipathy to the Fourth Amendment. Last week, the FBI admitted as much when it raided the home of former Chief UN Weapons Inspector Scott Ritter. Scott is a courageous and gifted former Marine. He is also a fierce and articulate antiwar warrior.”

* So what is “lawful spying” you ask? “What is lawful spying? The modern Supreme Court has made it clear that domestic spying is a “search” and the acquisition of data from a search is a “seizure” within the meaning of the Fourth Amendment. That amendment requires a warrant issued by a judge based on probable cause of crime presented under oath to the judge for a search or seizure to be lawful. The amendment also requires that all search warrants specifically describe the place to be searched and the person or thing to be seized.”

“Last week, when FBI agents searched Ritter’s home in upstate New York, in addition to trucks, guns, a SWAT team and a bomb squad, they arrived with printed copies of two years’ of Ritter’s emails and texts that they obtained without a search warrant. To do this, they either hacked into Ritter’s electronic devices — a felony — or they relied on their cousins, the CIA and the NSA, to do so, also a felony.

“The search warrant for Ritter’s home specified only electronic devices, of which he had three. Yet, the 40 FBI agents there stole a truckload of materials from him, including his notes from his U.N. inspector years in the 2000s, a draft of a book he is in the midst of writing and some of his wife’s personal property.

* Peace Is Not On The Ballot In November – Caitlin Johnstone.

All this murderousness will only come to an end when enough people use the power of their numbers to force it to end, and people will only use the power of their numbers to force it to end when enough of them have awakened from their propaganda-induced coma to get a real revolutionary movement happening.

* Why the Feds Fear Free Speech – Karen Kwiatkowski, LewRockwell.com

Thank goodness for a knowledgeable and unmoving wife. If they come to arrest you, they need a warrant for your arrest. If they come to search your house, they need a search warrant. Lacking these, they have no authority to arrest you, or to search your property. Be knowledgeable. Be firm. And be polite.

* America’s Search for New Enemies – Philip Giraldi.

* While the FBI is searching for domestic enemies, the CIA is inventing foreign enemies.
