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. (5-21-07).

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.

"My Space" Agrees To Hand Over Data Without Warrant May 21, 2007

Cowardly succumbing to public pressure and eight attorneys general, My Space has finally agreed to hand over data on sex offenders without a warrant.  The Fourth Amendment is quite clear, however, -- and apparently no longer relevant in our formerly great country.  Who's next?  Anyone government goons don't like?  Understand the significance, dear readers?  This is no more than an end-run-around the Constitution.

Already, federal goons are using "National Security Letters" to obtain private information without a warrant.  On anyone.  At any time.  Disclose the existence of such a letter and you go to jail.  In Nazi America.

"National Security Letters" were unconstitutionally authorized by the USA "Patriot" Act.  ... An outrageously unconstitutional infringement on civil and constitutional rights and liberties supported by both Texas senators.  Fascists who have no regard for liberty and the rights bloodily won on the battlefield by countless American veterans.


Rush Limbaugh Slides On Racist Parody May 21, 2007

Unlike Imus, radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh has been allowed to slide on an extremely racist parody called Obama The Magic Negro.  ... Sung to the tune of Puff The Magic Dragon.  A parody repeatedly played on his show.  Where is the outrage of the Black community?  Why are they allowing this outrageously ignorant fascist to escape unscathed?


$5 Billion Pay Off To Pakistan May 21, 2007

The Bush "Administration" has dumped some $5 billion on Pakistan over the last few years.  Approximately, $80 million per month.  Apparently, for nothing since Pakistan has cut back anti-terrorist activity.  American taxpayers have unlimited resources, so why not, right?  Enjoy.


President Carter Claims Bush "Administration" Worst In History Regarding Foreign Policy May 21, 2007

Thankfully breaking long-term tradition to remain silent regarding other presidents, former President Jimmy Carter slammed the Bush "Administration" and its handling of foreign policy.  ... Tough, isn't it?  Sadly, spoke the truth.  Truth that should have been aired a long, long time ago.  A Bush spokesperson quickly responded, -- claiming Carter is "increasingly irrelevant."

Amusingly, Carter had little regard for British Prime Minister Tony Blair as well.  Thought him to be "abominable" and too easily manipulated, -- i.e. a lap dog.  ... You think?  Time to hear from all former presidents on any subject, at any time.  They have much to offer.  Should certainly speak up when they believe a current occupant of the Oval Office to be on the wrong track.  Conversely, should also be as forthcoming when they indeed support policies of the incumbent.


Baby Emilio Dies May 19, 2007

Sadly, Baby Emilio Gonzales has died at the age of 19 months.  As readers will recall, the little boy was at the center of a legal struggle to remove life support despite his mother's strong objections.  Not clear at this time whether a law suit will follow to determine the constitutionality of the law signed by former Gov. Bush allowing hospitals to shut off life support after ten days notice.

Without question, the "President" signed this law as governor to ensure the financial well-being of Seton and other healthcare providers, -- at the expense of patients.  Where is the outrage of the Fascist Right?  The supposed champions of the right to life?  Their cowardly silence is deafening.

... And amusingly hypocritical, since it was the Right that recently allowed a futile care bill to die in the Texas legislature.  -- Because it couldn't agree on the wording.  ... A bill that would have given family members longer to find other care before life support is removed.


MIG Sgt. Brent Nichols Shot By Booby Trap May 18, 2007

33rd Judicial District Methamphetamine Initiative Group (MIG, formerly NET) Sgt. Brent Nichols was reportedly shot by a booby trapped safe during a drug raid.  Long-term readers will recall Mr. Nichols and his outrageously corrupt and abusive agency have been a repeated target on this website.  Can only wonder if Nichols was stoned at the time of his reportedly minor injury.

Sadly, this "police" agency is indeed the most corrupt and abusive in the area.  In addition to drug use, failed urinalyses, planting of drugs, false incrimination of innocent people, sex while on duty, and a whole variety of other abuses, MIG is extremely good at "dynamic entries" with no warrant at the time of the bust.  Nazi America.



Democrats To Allow Federal Funding of "Abstinence Only" Programs To Expire May 18, 2007

Finally, a breath of fresh air in Washington.  Democrats will apparently allow federally-funded "abstinence only" programs to expire.  What took so long?  These programs do not work.  In fact, a carefully executed study has demonstrated participants in these programs are just as likely to have sex as early as non-participants.

The average age of "loss" of virginity is 15 years, 7 months.  ... Tough, isn't it?  -- Just can't keep these kids kids long enough, right?  Apparently, why college graduates are dragging parents to job interviews to speak on their behalf.  Perverse, isn't it?

Then again, we reap what we sow.  The bottom line is the Fascist Right unconstitutionally wasted millions of dollars unsuccessfully trying to force its perverse "religious" views on the rest of us.  In direct violation of the First Amendment and its church-state separation proscription.



Paul Wolfowitz Resigns From World Bank May 17, 2007

Embattled World Bank chief Paul Wolfowitz has decided to resign, effective June 30.  Wolfowitz is a long-time Bush crony responsible for the failed invasion of Iraq under false pretenses.  At the World Bank he came under fire for taking extremely good care of his girlfriend, -- giving her an overly generous compensation package.  The Bank admitted "mistakes" and his "good intentions," thus paving the way for his departure.  No question, he will not be prosecuted or held accountable for any of his actions.



Bill Pending In Texas To Double Cost Of Marriage License May 16, 2007

The Fascist Right supposedly believes in marriage.  Apparently, not.  "Religious" fascists in the Texas legislature are hell-bent on sending a bill to Gov. "Good Hair" Rick Perry that will double the expense of a marriage license to $60.  ... Unless, of course, they receive eight hours of pre-marital counseling.  Don't these fools realize many people will decide to simply shack up rather than go through the hassle and BS?



Texas Rep. Ron Paul Skewered by Giuliani May 16, 2007

At a debate attended by GOP presidential hopefuls, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani skewered Texas Rep. Ron Paul for suggesting American foreign policy ultimately responsible for the 9/11 catastrophe.  Sadly, Mr. Paul is right on target.  As repeatedly stated on this website, it is directly due to the American unevenhanded approach to Israeli-Palestinian issues and impasse since 1948, the determined presence of U.S. forces in Moslem territory, -- deeply offensive to all Moslems, the unabashed support of the outrageously corrupt and abusive House of Saud, the import of Arab oil, and abject refusal to become energy independent fifty years ago.  When will we finally wake up?



Rev. Jerry Falwell Dead May 15, 2007

The Rev. Jerry Falwell died earlier today in his office, apparently of natural causes, at the age of 73.  -- Had a history of heart trouble.  Mr. Falwell started the "Moral" Majority in the late 70s.  ... Sadly, it was neither moral or a majority.  It did, however, launch the Fascist Right and catapulted Ronald Reagan to office in 1980.

The Reverend was indeed a fascist in every sense of the word.  He deeply believed in the pernicious blend of government, business, and religion.  ... Justified by the perversion and bastardization of religion.

He was anti-choice.  ... Profoundly and haughtily believed he and others like him had the right to dictate to women what they can and cannot do with their uterus.  Anti-gay, supposedly pro-family, staunchly pro-Israel, and certainly pro-defense, -- no matter the cost or waste.  Ludicrously, this unabashed seriously deluded fascist claimed gays, feminists, Lesbians, and the American Civil Liberties Union were ultimately responsible for the 9/11 catastrophe.

Although unable to explain his reasoning, he also believed gay marriage would "ruin" marriage.  Apparently, Mr. Falwell and other members of the Fascist Right were, and are, so insecure in their marriages they feel threatened.  They also perversely believe they have the right to dictate to consenting adults what they can, and can't do, in the privacy of their bedrooms.  ... Whether straight or gay.

Mr. Falwell fervently believed in "faith-based" initiatives, that is the proselytization of "Christianity" at the expense of taxpayers.  ... In direct violation of the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment proscribing church-state separation.  -- Then again, a fascist has no appreciation of civil and constitutional rights and liberties.  Particularly, making the name of "Liberty" University, the institution of "higher" learning he founded in 1991, an offensive oxymoron.

Many would agree speaking ill of the dead to be offensive and lacking class.  In the case of Mr. Falwell, however, it is imperative.  Fascists should not be conveniently and cowardly ignored.  Rather, they should be exposed to the light of day.  Dead or alive.



Padilla Trial May 14, 2007

Remember Jose Padilla?  An American citizen arrested as an "enemy combatant" in Chicago?  The supposed "Dirty Bomber?"  Padilla was iced in a Navy brig for three and a half years.  No access to attorneys.  Abused with exposure to cold and light.  Reportedly, tortured as well.  He has not been charged with being a "dirty bomber," however.  Only with supposedly training with al Qaeda and "conspiracy."

The "judge" in the case will not allow the government to bring up the reportedly false allegations of being a "dirty bomber."  Otherwise, the defense will be allowed to expose the conditions under which Padilla was held.  Tough, isn't it?

Why shouldn't the jury be advised of the abuse and reported torture?  ... The abuse and apparent torture of an American citizen in an American gulag.  Nazi America.  Where day is night, night is day, and manure smells perversely and sickeningly sweet.



"Justice" Department Withdrawing Requirement "Detainees" Have No More Than Three Attorney Visits May 14, 2007

After considerable pressure, the Department of "Justice" is withdrawing its requirement "detainees" have no more than three attorney visits.  ... Mighty generous of them, no?  Un-American to the core, the fascists in the "Justice" Department are still monitoring all attorney-"detainee" mail and determinedly killing the right to legal defense.  Nazi America.



Growing Disgruntlement With Generals May 14, 2007

Reportedly, there is growing dissatisfaction with the performance of U.S. military generals prosecuting the Iraq War.  Apparently, they may be more concerned with career advancement than best interests of their men and winning the war.  The problems are not only tactical, but include unresolved basics.  -- Like body armor issues that remain unsolved.  ... M1A1 tanks susceptible to IEDs.  ... Inadequately armored Humvees, etc..  Sadly, the list can go on and on.


Farmers Branch Votes To Compel Landlords Not To Rent To Illegal Immigrants May 14, 2007

Adolph Hitler and Benito Mussolini would have been proud.  Farmers Branch voters in Texas voted on May 12th to force landlords to check papers of all prospective tenants to ensure none are illegal immigrants.  Court battles are promised to stop implementation of this law.



Three American Soldiers Captured In Iraq May 12, 2007

Four American military personnel and an Iraqi translator were killed today in a road side ambush in Iraq.  Another three American soldiers were captured by the enemy.  Their whereabouts unknown.  A massive search by ground and air has been launched.



Mercury 13 Grounded In Favor Of Mercury 7 May 12, 2007

Remember the Mercury 7, the first group of dashing astronauts, the first to be launched into space?  Men like John Glenn, Alan Shepherd, etc.?  Seems there also was a magnificent group of women called the Mercury 13.  These ladies were highly-trained pilots who reportedly were better qualified than the Mercury 7.  Sadly, they were grounded, however, due to prejudice against women.

Reportedly, Vice President Lyndon Johnson claimed if women were allowed into NASA, so would other minorities.  -- Tough, wasn't it?  ... An "intolerable" situation the U.S. couldn't allow.  One woman had twice the flying hours of John Glenn.  The ladies were reportedly demonstrably more proficient than the men.  The Soviets sent the first woman into space back in 1963.  ... The U.S. about twenty years later with the launch of Sally Ride.



Iraq Parliament Plans Two-Month Summer Hiatus May 9, 2007

While American military personnel are killed and maimed in the hell-hole of Iraq, the Iraqi Parliament plans to take two months off this summer.  Apparently, even Iraqi legislators perversely know U.S. troops are not dying for freedom, but the outrageously corrupt and abusive ass of the "President" of the United States.  Otherwise, the bastards would be "legislating" and solving their country's impossible problems instead of taking a two-month vacation.

 ... The Founders of our formerly great country must indeed be spinning in their graves.  They could never have imagined so poor an excuse for "President" and "Commander In Chief."  The situation in Iraq and the Parliament's pending plans are apparently so dire, Mr. Bush dispatched ole' "Slick Dick" Cheney to Iraq to express the "President's" displeasure.  ... Tough, isn't it?



11 GOP Congressmen Read Bush Riot Act May 9, 2007

Eleven of the Republican Party's "finest" met with "President" Bush earlier today.  -- Seems they're not happy with ole' George's performance and the fiasco in Iraq.  Although held behind closed doors, all eleven congressmen reportedly told Bush he and his staff had no credibility.  ... That Gen. Patraeus would apparently be the final judge of "progress" of the "surge."  ... That ole' George "The Tush" and his henchmen only had until September before they'd lose backing of fellow GOP legislators.  -- Tough, isn't it.  Reportedly, the meeting was no holds barred, frank, and blunt.  -- A little too little, a little too late, 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
