Remember folks. Fascism has never, ever been put down using words.
Arm yourselves. Help others arm themselves. Train with them and form networks.

Dont forget to buy lots of ammo. Guns dont do much without ammo.
If you've got a gun you've always got at least one shot in it (throwing the gun at the target)!
Especially if it's a Hi&Point. The people's firearm.
As an European, I want Americans to fight against fascism, at the same time, it sounds like it would require civil war, and if that happens, then the sharks circling around US would use that opportunity to make some moves. This whole thing makes me uneasy. Y'all need to be smart about this.
It truly truly truly is not far off. We are headed there.
I think you’re all headed to fall in line. That’s where the evidence is pointing.
For real.
From George Orwell's Animal Farm:
"My sight is failing," [Clover] said finally. "Even when I was young I could not have read what was written there. But it appears to me that that wall looks different. Are the Seven Commandments the same as they used to be, Benjamin?"
For once Benjamin consented to break his rule, and he read out to her what was written on the wall. There was nothing there now except a single Commandment. It ran:
ALL ANIMALS ARE EQUAL BUT SOME ANIMALS ARE MORE EQUAL THAN OTHERS
Damn that hits so close to home now.
wow almost as if the very obvious story about authoritarianism accurately described authoritarianism. who could have known?
This won’t make me forget about Epstein, dumbass.
You can remember it until your great grand children visit the moon. Ain't one shit going to happen to Trump and friends. Congress is the only power that can do something and we all know that story. That lying orange clown lead a violent coup attempt on the United States government and nothing happened to him. Why would this Epstein thing even matter?
finally, someone who gets it.
They're not deleting it to say it doesn't exist, they're deleting it to prevent people from looking up their rights.
Can you explain the difference between? I don’t understand the point you’re trying to make.
A lot of people I've seen online are acting like this is them trying to erase it completely. If they wanted to they wouldn't just change a website. I'm not saying that they won't, just that this is more about the suppression of information and that people should probably look this kinda shit up before it's gone. Get yourself a copy of the constitution in one of those neat little books your teachers always had if need be.
All I'm saying is that people are acting like changing a website changes the laws of the US. And I think that we should all brush up on our rights before the resources online become unreliable. That way when they try and break the law you can say it loudly that what they are doing is illegal and call them out in front of everyone. The justice system has always been notorious for punishing those that don't know their rights. It's why they literally had to force cops to tell you your rights when they arrest you, which they are currently not doing. Protect yourself because nobody in the system will have your interests in mind.
Changing an official government website, while inconsequential as far as rights are concerned, signals something much more than just suppressing information.
It means they are actively taking steps to rewrite history. To change how people see the government. Because if the people in charge think so little to update the site, the people in charge have much more sinister plans than to just update the website.
The law exists only as much as it is enforced.
They are clearly saying they will not enforce habeas corpus.
This doesn't appear to be true. The website still shows the full constitution. It's more likely someone has meddled with the archive.
America doesn't just have a constitution. It is created by the Constitution. They are deleting America and patriots are cheering it on.
It would have been nice if we had all grown up pledging allegiance to the Constitution instead of to the fucking flag. I mean, soldiers and politicians all have to swear an oath to the Constitution - why do we consider a piece of fabric (that hasn't even stayed the same throughout the history of our country) so much more important?
A while back I made a collection of all the oaths taken by federal officials, employees, military etc. Each and every one tells them that the Constitution is their guide and it is their duty to protect/defend/support it.
Here they are:
These are each of the oaths that different government servants are required to take when assuming office. Each one requires the person to either support and defend the Constitution or to follow Constitution.
When you see a Congress member surrender their responsibilities to the president or the president say he isn't going to honor a court order you are seeing them violate their oath. That is how nations fail. When the people that are charged with creating or enforcing the laws don't do so then laws don't exist or are selectively enforced as a weapon instead of a tool of protecting the rights of others.
Enlisted: "I, _____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice.

So help me God.”
Well if this isn't a reason to use your second amendment what the fuck is
Ironic, since the writ of Habeas corpus predates even the Magna Carta.
Habeas corpus goes back to around 1166, which for those keeping track, is only around 600 years before the founding of the USA…
The US was founded on ostensibly three major legal ideas.
Habeus Corpus.
Due Process.
The Magna Carta.
We don't seem to currently have any of the three.
So where are the brave gun owning defenders of freedom and liberty I keep hearing so much about?
For all you youngn’s, even if parts of the US constitution is removed from the random government entity’s website—it’s still available in many MANY forms. So like. Don’t think this means anything other than making things about as hard to access as they were like 15 years ago (which is to say not that hard).
Just cause a government website doesn’t have some information does not mean that laws have or have not changed.
They're making up the law as they need it. Trump is history. He's the ultimate loser. He's a convicted felon and an unregistered sex offender.
How long after all this is done will I be able to sit down and watch the documentary without PTSD flashbacks?
Land of the Free.
Looks like the removed sections are back. Odd...
"No corpus, no crime-o."
Habeas corpus was a fundamental right in English speaking countries going back to the Magna fucking Carta. It is incredible how fast everything is falling apart.
