Erosion of Democracy and Freedom in America
by Stephen Lendman
By its legislative action prior to recessing for the November congressional elections, the 109th Congress will forever live in infamy. It shamelessly sunk to its lowest yet depths in pledging its fealty to a morally depraved president who believes no one has the right to challenge his authority, champions the use of torture, defies constitutional and international laws and norms, (law or no law) conducts secret surveillance through warrantless wiretaps or any other means, and believes dissent is an act of terrorism

State Govt Unconstitutionalities Against Citizen-Proposed Law
by Stephen Neitzke
The leadership of both major parties have been involved in creating hundreds of unconstitutional statutes that provide continual variation on the theme of lawlessness against citizen-proposed law -- so that the people will not focus on the lawlessness of any one variation.

Now That You Could be Labeled an Enemy Combatant
by Heather Wokusch
Since Congress recently handed Bush the power to identify American citizens as "unlawful enemy combatants" and detain them indefinitely without charge, it's worth examining the administration's record of prisoner abuse as well as the building of stateside detention centers.

Claiming a Veto over the Constitution
by John De Herrera
There is no immunity whatsoever for anyone who attempts to overthrow, by any means, even ignoring something on purpose, our constitutional form of government. We have two amendatory processes in place. One is controlled by Congress, the other is not, and Congress cannot veto the second process.

Help Wanted: More Skeptical Citizens. Apply in Person
by James Rothenberg
This is not a time to remain quiet. The heart and soul of our country hangs in the balance. We who claim to cherish American ideals of liberty and justice cannot also support a government that kills and maims wantonly, that tortures unapologetically, that disappears people and punishes dissenters and whistle blowers.

On October 17th, Luxembourg government officials will welcome author and PopulistAmerica.com featured columnist Lonnie D. Story, along with WWII survivor Anni Adams in New York City.
The officials are attending a reception and special book signing event for Lonnie's book, The Meeting of Anni Adams: The Butterfly of Luxembourg.
Lonnie Story's effort to share a part of Luxembourg's history during WWII will be recognized at this event by the Ambassador of Luxembourg to the United Nations, Joseph Weyland; the Ambassador of Luxembourg to the U.S., Jean Marc Hoscheit; and the Luxembourg General Consul, Georges Faber.
On May 10, 1940, a war began in Adams' backyard when Nazi armies started their campaign in the West, pouring through Luxembourg in their rush against France. German law was imposed, the use of the native language was forbidden, and French-sounding names were converted (including those of Adams' family). This marked the Nazi's crusade to indoctrinate the Luxembourgers, making them believe they were ethnic Germans. But 98 percent of the population vigorously opposed the indoctrination, which drew a series of reprisals. People were beaten, harassed, imprisoned, and even executed by the Gestapo.
The Meeting of Anni Adams: The Butterfly of Luxembourg shows how family and faith fueled Adams' survival through her evacuation into France and the years of German occupation of Luxembourg when she and her family were placed in labor camps and government prisons. Adams went on to live a remarkable life in the United States, where she displayed an uncanny ability to meet many people of renown in the most unlikely circumstances.

We do not live in a democracy, we live in Empire, which is controlled by a plutocracy that carefully manages the representation, the veneer, of an electoral system, which provides the Demos with preselected choices, which are the products of a complex system consisting of networking and cronyist quid pro quo.
This process, conducted among the elites, preselects those who will be our choices for representation in polity. The individuals presented to us are typically those with the most elitist alliances, as well as, those with the access to the necessary capital required to enter into the ceremonial pageantries of primaries.
