Now even the Secret Service dismisses the rights of citizens

The Secret Service lies about a warrant to talk to a Nashville citizen who committed no crime. All he did was post on Facebook.

And the SS used the term, "He may have had a gun in his hand" to rally the Nashville PD to aid in there subterfuge. He was inside his home at the time.

'policestateusa' seems to be a bad, unreliable source.

This site is clearly hard-right-libertarian and links to ugly sites such as the John Birch Society and the Cato Institute, as well as to Rand Paul, Ron Paul and Lew Rockwell.


More from the site:

'Most of the Federal Government should be shut down'

And here is typical conspiracy theory about the Federal Reserve:

(While I would favour reform/abolition of the Federal Reserve too if I were American, it is for an opposite reason for these nutters: it doesn't regulate enough, whereas they want no regulation at all.)


I am not objecting to the messenger because I dislike the message, but because the messenger is ugly and vicious. Would it be possible to keep the news video, but to omit the link to the hard-right site?
