TVNL Editor's Comments: Laws Exist to Protect Citizens, Not Politicians

Let's not mince words here...the Patriot Act, the DOMESTIC spying program, the Justice Department firings and many recent strategic decisions by Congress and the Bush administration were not designed or implemented with your safety in mind. These things exists for one reason and one reason only, to prevent the citizens of this nation from preventing, stopping pr punishing the people in positions of power from abusing their power.

As a matter of fact many of the new “post 9/11” laws and executive orders were designed specifically to prevent the citizens of this nation from even finding out about abuses of power. Let's not fool ourselves, none of of us are safer in any way shape or form due to the legal post 9/11 posturing of the US government establishment. As a matter of fact we are in more danger than ever and that danger stems from threats posed by people who abuse power.

As my fellow Americans snooze through the dismantling of our Constitution what is taking place is very simple...it is a systematic implementation of a totalitarian dictatorship. Unfortunately the only time many people won't stop ridiculing me for pointing this out until it is to late to do anything about it. Actually I wonder how we can fix this problem now, even if everyone took notice. But as each day passes without public action the remedy for this problem becomes more difficult, and dangerous...if you know what I mean. Think about it! Jesse Richard – Editor, TvNewsLIES.org

MILITARY & VETERANS : http://www.tvnewslies.org/news/#military

How many more official lies in Tillman cover-up? - The failing system wasn't only the Army's truth pipeline. It was the Pentagon's and the White House's deceptive management of war stories. Just as the Pentagon had made up the story of the heroism of Jessica Lynch, the West Virginia soldier wounded and captured in an ambush in the early days of the Iraq war -- the Pentagon said she went down firing her rifle until she ran out of ammunition; in fact, she never fired a shot -- it made up a story about Tillman's heroism until the story couldn't stand up to the facts. Hasn't that been the true overriding story of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan?
