America Broken

Dorothy Thompson was an American reporter who judged Hitler as a person of “startling insignificance.” She realized later the mistake in the reporting of American journalists, stating “No people ever recognize their dictator in advance,” she reflected in 1935. “He never stands for election on the platform of dictatorship. He always represents himself as the instrument [of] the Incorporated National Will. When our dictator turns up you can depend on it that he will be one of the boys, and he will stand for everything traditionally American.”

Any correlation to Trumps MAGA cult of personality? Perhaps, we shouldn’t disregard historical comparisons when they’re in our face to see.

Although I agree with lots of what 47 is wanting to accomplish in regards to protecting the border, restoring jobs, reducing taxes and regulations, none of what he’s doing will stand the test of time when it’s done by Executive fiat through Executive Orders. These can be overturned with another administration coming to power. So either he knows this and is doing nothing about it or he is an idiot —>OR<— he is attempting to do as Dorthy Thompson wrote almost a hundred yrs ago, “… and he will stand for everything traditionally American...” and he will bring America into a full fascist state.

He rails against censorship yet he wants to punish those journalists and news organizations that report against his administrations narrative. Although I don’t agree nor read much from the “legacy” media nowadays because of their socialist-progressive bias they still are suppose have the freedom to print their trash. Why copy the sol-progs methods of censorship when you’re suppose to support free speech, unless you are “one of them”, what some call Fabian Socialists, they’re method is plainly put, “infiltrate and legislate”.

Could Trump be adhering to some of the concepts of Fabianism? I don’t know as I’m still researching the topics and sorting through relationships and relevant sources.

I do know that as Hayek wrote in 1944 in his “…The Road to Serfdom…” that government central planning does eventually lead to totalitarian systems of social control. In America this began under FDR and has continued nonstop since, though at various speeds as advocated by the Fabians.

My concern is that Trumps cult of personality will lead to a similar outcome.

Concerning Trump himself, I’ll leave this link and quote and leave his cult followers slobbering for a few minutes…

“Evidently, Trump may have been using the so-called birthers only as a means to an end.

His son-in-law, Jared Kushner, who is also a senior adviser to the president, allegedly told a former editor of the newspaper he once owned that the billionaire real-estate mogul didn’t believe his own “birtherism” claims, and only made them to charge up Republicans because they are “stupid,” GQ reported.

During a discussion on how to cover Trump, the former New York Observer editor, Elizabeth Spiers, claimed she told Kushner that she had serious problems with Trump’s repeated claims that Obama was not born in the U.S., to which Kushner allegedly told her: “He doesn’t really believe it, Elizabeth. He just knows Republicans are stupid and they’ll buy it.”

THE LAWFUL RIGHT OF SELF DEFENSE AGAINST UNLAWFUL ARREST

By Posted in Uncategorized Tagged , , , , , , , Leave a comment

ATTENTION: We are in no way affirming the right for citizens to take the life of law enforcement officer, what we are presenting is the simple fact that citizens DO HAVE the legal right to defend themselves against unlawful arrest up and including taking the life of an offending officer.

“These principles apply as well to an officer attempting to make an
arrest, who abuses his authority and transcends the bounds thereof by the
use of unnecessary force and violence, as they do to a private individual
who unlawfully uses such force and violence.”

“Citizens may resist unlawful arrest to the point of taking an arresting
officer’s life if necessary.” Plummer v. State, 136 Ind. 306. This premise
was upheld by the Supreme Court of the United States in the case: John Bad
Elk v. U.S., 177 U.S. 529. The Court stated: “Where the officer is killed
in the course of the disorder which naturally accompanies an attempted
arrest that is resisted, the law looks with very different eyes upon the
transaction, when the officer had the right to make the arrest, from what
it does if the officer had no right. What may be murder in the first case
might be nothing more than manslaughter in the other, or the facts might
show that no offense had been committed.”

“An arrest made with a defective warrant, or one issued without affidavit,
or one that fails to allege a crime is within jurisdiction, and one who is
being arrested, may resist arrest and break away. lf the arresting officer
is killed by one who is so resisting, the killing will be no more than an
involuntary manslaughter.” Housh v. People, 75 111. 491; reaffirmed and
quoted in State v. Leach, 7 Conn. 452; State v. Gleason, 32 Kan. 245;
Ballard v. State, 43 Ohio 349; State v Rousseau, 241 P. 2d 447; State v.
Spaulding, 34 Minn. 3621.

“When a person, being without fault, is in a place where he has a right to
be, is violently assaulted, he may, without retreating, repel by force,
and if, in the reasonable exercise of his right of self defense, his
assailant is killed, he is justified.” Runyan v. State, 57 Ind. 80; Miller
v. State, 74 Ind. 1.

“These principles apply as well to an officer attempting to make an
arrest, who abuses his authority and transcends the bounds thereof by the
use of unnecessary force and violence, as they do to a private individual
who unlawfully uses such force and violence.” Jones v. State, 26 Tex. App.
I; Beaverts v. State, 4 Tex. App. 1 75; Skidmore v. State, 43 Tex. 93,
903.

“An illegal arrest is an assault and battery. The person so attempted to
be restrained of his liberty has the same right to use force in defending
himself as he would in repelling any other assault and battery.” (State v.
Robinson, 145 ME. 77, 72 ATL. 260).

“Each person has the right to resist an unlawful arrest. In such a case,
the person attempting the arrest stands in the position of a wrongdoer and
may be resisted by the use of force, as in self- defense.” (State v.
Mobley, 240 N.C. 476, 83 S.E. 2d 100).

“One may come to the aid of another being unlawfully arrested, just as he
may where one is being assaulted, molested, raped or kidnapped. Thus it is
not an offense to liberate one from the unlawful custody of an officer,
even though he may have submitted to such custody, without resistance.”
(Adams v. State, 121 Ga. 16, 48 S.E. 910).

“Story affirmed the right of self-defense by persons held illegally. In
his own writings, he had admitted that ‘a situation could arise in which
the checks-and-balances principle ceased to work and the various branches
of government concurred in a gross usurpation.’ There would be no usual
remedy by changing the law or passing an amendment to the Constitution,
should the oppressed party be a minority. Story concluded, ‘If there be
any remedy at all … it is a remedy never provided for by human
institutions.’ That was the ‘ultimate right of all human beings in extreme
cases to resist oppression, and to apply force against ruinous
injustice.’” (From Mutiny on the Amistad by Howard Jones, Oxford
University Press, 1987, an account of the reading of the decision in the
case by Justice Joseph Story of the Supreme Court.

As for grounds for arrest: “The carrying of arms in a quiet, peaceable,
and orderly manner, concealed on or about the person, is not a breach of
the peace. Nor does such an act of itself, lead to a breach of the peace.”
(Wharton’s Criminal and Civil Procedure, 12th Ed., Vol.2: Judy v. Lashley,
5 W. Va. 628, 41 S.E. 197)
