Publisher's Note: This publication receives no financial support through advertising.  Although shaken down, looted, and abused by corrupt government, area businesses remain unwilling to stand up.  Locals are too gutless to donate financially, cowardly fearing retribution.  For this publication to survive, national readers need to contribute.  Liberty In Peril is, has been, and will always remain beholden to NO ONE. -- Precisely why there is no financial assistance.  ... From day of launch and certainly a no-brainer to this very day, firmly resolved to walk away first rather than compromise principle. -- To the chagrin of many and delight of few.    T.C. (1-8-07).

Working definition of fascism for new readers? An abusive and dangerous oligarchy based on a pernicious blend of government, big business, and religion. ... A boot-heel cynically placed on the throat of the masses, justified in principle by perversion and bastardization of religion.

"President" Dumps Iraq Commanders January 5, 2007

Gens. Abizaid and Casey, opposed to a 20,000 troop surge in Iraq, have been dumped by the "President."  Hypocritically, Mr. Bush has repeatedly stated he would, and does, adjust Iraq troop levels according to what his commanders say is required.  Not surprisingly, the "President" lied.  -- Don't tow the mark and embrace the company line?  Your sorry ass gets dumped.  Tough, isn't it?  Interestingly, Abizaid is retiring.  Casey, promoted to the Joint Chiefs of Staff.  Convenient, isn't it?



"President" Claims Right To Open Mail Without Warrant January 4, 2007

The "President" of the United States recently added a provision to a postal law he signed, claiming the government has the right to open mail without a warrant "under extraordinary conditions."  ... The same "justification" our outrageously fascist "President" used to "defend" warrantless NSA domestic spying.



APD Officers Above Law January 3, 2007

Without question, Austin Police Department officers are above the law.  An APD officer earning $70,000 a year in salary was given a 10-day suspension for welfare fraud.  Another received the same "punishment" for a hit and run.  Neither was fired.  Neither charged with a crime.  Fascinating, isn't it?  Crime does pay, -- if you're an officer.



"President" Re-Writes History During Ford Eulogy  January 2, 2007

While eulogizing President Ford, "President" Bush disingenuously hailed the late President for supposedly successfully resolving the Mayaguez crisis.  Readers will recall during the Ford Administration American personnel had been briefly held on the ship before being quickly released after American military action became imminent.

Sadly, an American raiding party was not informed of their release in time before Marines stormed the ship and needlessly suffered 17 killed in action.  Tragically, for nothing.  This writer will never forget the photograph of President Ford and his henchmen smiling and congratulating  each other in the Oval Office after the release of the hostages.  -- Again, despite the fact 17 Marines were killed for absolutely no reason.  Apparently, those unnecessary combat deaths were in inconsequential to the President and his advisors.

Outrageously, a clergyman during the Ford funeral falsely claimed those against the Nixon pardon sought vengeance.  Nonsense, Padre.  Respectfully, there is a profound difference between vengeance and justice.  ... A world of difference not understood by the Fascist Right that usually hopelessly confuses both.  Ford could, and should, have waited to pardon Nixon after all prosecution and appeals were completed.

The guilt of President Nixon should, and would, have been clearly established in court.  President Ford denied the people that right.  -- Clearly and constitutionally obstructed justice.  Legally, did so.  While justice can indeed be mindlessly vindictive and vengeful, it's highest purpose is establishment and exposure of fact in court.  ... At least, should be.  Ford's pardon of his predecessor conveniently denied any semblance.

Ironically, the clergyman at the funeral also disingenuously claimed President Ford chose to "forgive" Mr. Nixon.  Forgiveness has absolutely nothing to do with criminal prosecution of offenders.  Again, at least, it shouldn't.  It obstructs justice, -- exposure of the truth.

Would the pastor also have "forgiven" the disgraced late Enron CEO Ken Lay?  Not prosecuted the corrupt and abusive bastard responsible for defrauding shareholders and employees to the tune of billions?

"Forgiven" Charles Manson?  Outrageous comparison?  Think again, readers.  Mr. Nixon is responsible for tens of thousands of American combat deaths in Vietnam.  To say nothing of the other side.  ... A war clearly fought solely to line the deep pockets of the defense corporate community.  -- "Forgiveness," despite the fact Mr. Nixon lied in 1968 prior to the election, falsely claiming he had a "secret plan" to end the war?

A matter of "forgiveness?"  Certainly, not.  Rather, a matter of obstructed justice, that is, the failure to completely expose the truth.  ... Truth, we Americans can apparently no longer handle.  Sad, isn't it?



Chief "Justice" John Roberts Decries Judicial Salaries  January 1, 2007

The Chief "Justice" of the United States Supreme Court is unhappy about federal judge pay.  Tough, isn't it?  Before shedding a tear, however, consider the salary range of federal judges,
-- approximately $165,000 to $222,000 yearly.  In a year-end report, Chief "Justice" John Roberts complained they can make twice that in the private sector.

True enough.  Civil suit attorneys make millions.  Amusingly irrelevant to judicial pay, however, since any attorney who becomes a judge should do it for principle, not money.  Complaints by Mr. Roberts are disingenuous as well since attorneys write laws in legalese as legislators.  Consequently, only an attorney can understand the law, or sit in judgment of it.  Convenient, no?



ACLU-Criminal Website Deletions

The following is a series of unedited email correspondence between the American Civil Liberties Union and this writer in regard to criminal deletions of Ledger websites over a year ago.  To date, no response, other than a canned autosponder message has been received from national ACLU headquarters to the latest complaint filed.  Apparently, ACLU no longer has any interest in First Amendment issues, -- or is wildly incompetent.  You decide.  ACLU-Criminal Website Deletions
