A statute’s words do not tell how the law will be interpreted and applied.
All laws are expansively interpreted. For example:
The Racketeer Influenced Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) was directed at drug lords. Nothing in the law says anything about divorce; yet it soon was applied in divorce cases.
The 1964 Civil Rights Act explicitly bans racial quotas and defines racial discrimination as an intentional act. Yet, quotas were imposed by the civil rights bureaucracy on the basis of the 1964 Act, and intent was replaced by statistical disparity.
The Clean Water Act makes no reference to wetlands and conveys no powers to the executive branch to create wetlands regulations. Yet, for example, Ocie and Carey Mills, who had a valid Florida state permit to build a house, were imprisoned by federal bureaucrats, who claimed jurisdiction under the Clean Water Act. The bureaucrats ruled that the clean dirt used to level the building lot constituted discharge of pollutants into the navigable waters of the U.S. No navigable waters were involved, and according to the state of Florida, no wetlands.
The Exxon Valdez accident was criminalized. An unintentional oil spill became the intentional discharge of pollutants without a license, and the bird kill became killing migratory birds without a license. An accident was prosecuted as crimes of intent.
Well informed attorneys can provide many examples. Others are documented in The Tyranny of Good Intentions. Awareness of what can be pulled out of even clearly written laws is essential to the preservation of civil liberty.
With this in mind, consider the Hate Crimes Prevention Act.
Opponents criticize the bill for adding a second punishment to existing punishments for acts of violence. Assault, murder, rape are crimes regardless of motivation. The penalties are sufficient, or can be made so, without applying a new crime of motivation that creates specially protected classes, such as homosexuals and minorities. To commit a violent act against a member of a specially protected class will carry a heavier punishment.
How will a court know whether a violent act was committed because of hatred or because of sexual lust or the need for money? As case law is made, the likely direction will be to eliminate intent. The issue will be resolved by whether the attacked person is a member of a protected class. The mugger who beats as well as robs a victim who turns out to be homosexual or Jewish will have committed a hate crime.
It will prove difficult to separate speaking against members of protected classes, or criticizing their practices, from hate. The two things are easily conflated. Once enacted, hate crimes will become independent of specific violent acts. An eventual likely outcome will be that speaking against members of specially protected classes will itself become a violent act of inciting violence.
Since the passage of the Global Anti-Semitism Review Act in 2004, the US Department of State is required to monitor anti-semitism world wide. The State Department is not required to monitor anti-Americanism or sentiments against Christians, Muslims or Arabs. Thus, the act created a specially protected class worthy of careful monitoring by the US Department of State of negative sentiments expressed against Jews.
In order to monitor anti-semitism, the term must be defined. The definition is subjective and will be widely, rather than narrowly, interpreted. The State Department has come up with its attempt. The State Department’s approach could include any truthful statements about Israel and its behavior toward the Palestinians that the Israeli government or AIPAC or the Anti-Defamation League would deny or contest.
Anti-semitic speech can be interpreted as inciting hatred. Inciting hatred can be interpreted to be a violent act. “Excessive” criticism of Israel is a subjective, undefinable concept that can be used to determine anti-semitic speech. It is easy to conflate “excessive” with “strong.” Thus, demands that Israel be held accountable for war crimes committed in Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, or elsewhere become acts of the hate crime of anti-semitism.

the Anti Defamation League and the US Justice Department are on to you for your hate-inciting article!
Similar destruction of free speech is well under way here in the UK, in a pattern which is gaining momentum and highlights the boldness with which the NWO marches forward. This expanding interpretation of legislation seems to be one of their favourite tricks these days, along with the redefinition of the terms in new legal powers. We are gonna need a world-class team of lawyers to take down these arrogant bastards: the courtroom is mercifully still a battlefield when used right…

Statutes are NOT Laws. They are LEGAL fictions applying to Corporate bodies. YOU are a corporate body by virtue of your birth certificate. In other words a contract that was unfairly made and therefore ‘NO CONTRACT’. Nothing these scum do is ‘Lawful’ but it is ‘LEGAL’. A ‘SOCIETY’ can have it’s own language… so they start the ‘THE LAW SOCIETY’ and create it’s language ‘LEGALESE’ (check). It looks like English… but the words are given new meanings. They ‘FOOL’ you.

Yes and I agree with Jury Nullification, which is where juries decide what laws apply and what don’t. Regardless of what the judge says juries have the last say.
And where in the Constitution does it say that the State Department has the authority to monitor antisemitism world wide? This seems like an illegal action, as well as a waste of public money solely to benefit one group at the expense (literally) of other groups.

It will take a full blown revolution to change anything and if you Google “Michigan Malitia” you will see just how weak our citizens have become. If the Bloods/Crips would focus thier anger on the polatitions that make the laws that make us poor instead of themselves we might have a chance but somehow I doubt we would ever be that lucky.

“When a statute, code, or court holding changes tomorrow, does reality change? Does truth change? Do right and wrong change? If so, there are no absolutes, and the only logical conclusion is that reality, truth, and right and wrong are determined arbitrarily on a daily basis by those with the most power, guns, and money. While the rest of us can choose to RUN, FIGHT, or be agree to be their SLAVES.”
Statutes and Codes ARE NOT LAW.
If they were Law, why do they need to passed under an ‘Act’? All statutes/codes are COLORABLE LAW. It means you must give them your consent, to be under their Jurisdiction.
Again, more DE FACTO legislation from our CORPORATE ‘fictions’ known as Politicians.
The only LAWS are the Creator’s laws. EVERYTHING else is man made, and therefore subject to OPINION.

Is this government even relevant anymore? I don’t think so. I swore an oath to the constitution three times, but I beleive it is a document that no longer exists anymore excepting through the fiction of the news media. The US of A has long been subverted into an entirely different country in which the constitution has no meaning whatsoever. After all, the supreme court ruled that random urinalysis tests were not invading our privacy and weren’t unreasonable search and seizure. With that logic, what relevancy does this government have over anyone. Does US citizenship even matter anymore when the government itself is so blatantly against anything the constitution stood for? I think not. I hereby resolve this government is not only guilty of treason, but also guilty of being totally irrelevant to the true needs of the people. Fuck them, and also fuck their hate crimes bills. What a load of shit these dumbass motherfuckers spew out. Was that hateful enough? I hope so. Viva Che! “Show me a government, and I am against it!”

The one problem that not enough people are addressing is the fact that America has been it’s own Corporation since 1871 with the “Act of 1871″ and has progressively become more powerful by integrating you into the mix in 1913 with the “Federal Reserve Act” and then making you a complete SLAVE in 1933 with “The New Deal” and “The Trading With the Enemies Act”.
This Corporation has usurped greater control over you incrementally over the years and now we are at the climax of control where they are attempting to exert this control over the entire planets population and therefore making all mankind their SLAVES.
This is why the FED has bailed out the failure institutions and do not care for the people of this country, after all we are their slaves and all that we think we “OWN” is really not our property but theirs. If you bought your house or car with Gold, you would see the “Certificate of Origin” which is the TRUE ownership document NOT the TITLE.
We have been enslaved for more than one hundred years and they merely allowed us to do certain things which gave the illusion that we were free. Now that their “endgame” is at hand, the must gain 100% control or their game is over.
It is up to all God fearing people to help stop this coming Tyranny, but you must first force yourself to see through this illusion before you can learn to protect yourselves from it.
Their timeline for having this global Corporation in place is sometime during the year 2010!
Before that time there MUST be an organized, collective effort to put an end to this corrupt government or “We the People” will be forever enslaved by our lethargic ignorance.
God Bless and good Luck!

Citizens of the World,
There is an Evil storm on the horizon. It will sweep across this land. It is called the New World Order. It is at our shores and it stinks of Death.
Repent, ask the Lord Jesus into your heart, before it is too late. He will write your name in the Book of Life.
Without Him, in the end of days, your only option will be the mark of the Beast. To do this to obtain food, medicine, shelter or security, will damn you for eternity.
The lost, you know who you are, will remember reading this some day, unless you take action.
Read these verses in the New Testament: John 14:6, Acts 16:31, Romans 10:9 and Romans 10:13.
The Lord loves you and will save you only if YOU make the choice.

Working for the Antichrist now, on this earth, I can tell you that the Evil Storm is just beginning to stir. Israel is unbeatable, in any conflict, but it is not protected by God as many would claim. Demons and other raised spirits are amongst you, taking positions of power. Many of us already bear the Mark.
This will be an era of rebirth, of the old ones, and the old ways. Christianity will be destroyed, along with those who bow to it’s god.
There is no hope, and no salvation for you all. You are all guilty of explicit and implicit sin, there is no repent for sin born in you, no matter how much you beg, your God is finished with you, and is the reason that the Antichrist was cast down upon this world. To live amongst you, and then to deliver judgment upon you.
All this has already been done, your fate is already sealed, and in the end, the world will be better off without you.
The “lord” has long lost his love of you, by your impurity and your refusal to follow the true way, and the true path. Man was supposed to ascend and become Christ like, all man has been able to do, is become demon like, and the Demons love you for it. Your god, will only condemn you, and destroy you all, as the cancer he feels you have become to the Earth.
Instead of practicing peace and love, you practiced war, hatred, and corruption. By their actions, you shall know them. By our collective actions, your God has already passed Judgment.

What about the THREE HUNDRED children murdered by Jews in Gaza this year? No mention of “hate” there, I see… But I keep forgetting – a Jew’s life is worth that of a million ‘goyim’, isn’t it…

It’s very sad but very true. Americans have lost sight of what true freedom really is.
Freedom is not being taxed on every item necessary for sustaining life!
Freedom is not needing a license or permit to drive, hunt, fish, build an addition on your house, talk on a radio, leave & enter your own country, own a business, park in a national forest, get married, have children, own a gun and many more!
Freedom is not having to show the law proof of who you are!
Freedom is not fearing your own Government!
Freedom is knowing that your property is not going to be stolen by the very system that swears to protect your rights!
Freedom is walking down the street with a beer in your hand without getting arrested!
Freedom is like abiding by ten simple commandments instead of 80 million senseless laws!
Freedom is not having to be afraid to discipline your children!
Freedom IS NOT WHAT YOU HAVE IN AMERIKA!
YOU ARE SLAVES!! GET USED TO IT…….IT WILL GET WORSE!

The ironic thing behind the passage of all these immoral and Illegal bills is that the MAJORITY of Americans do not have the Intestinal Fortitude to stand on their morals and put a stop to these control measures the Federal Government is usurping on their own people!
The only way these fascist government officials will be stopped is if we all take our money and buy a years worth of food, quit our jobs, stop paying your bills and let the system collapse.

This reporting today on Sky News here in Australia under heading YouTube video charge “A man who allegedly posted anti-Semitic videos on the website YouTube has been charged with attempting to incite racial animosity and racial harassment.
Police say the 39 year old Perth man is only the second person to be charged under racial vilification laws introduced by Western Australia’s previous Labour government four years ago.
They say the man has been bailed ahead of a court appearance on the charge, which carries a maximum penalty of 14 years jail.
He is understood to have been arrested by officers from WA’s intelligence unit on Wednesday, after posting videos of himself making anti-Semitic comments in front of Perth’s Bell Tower and a south Perth supermarket.
Western Australia’s racial vilification laws took effect in May 2005 after white supremacists had carried out a number of attacks in Perth.
An Aboriginal teenager became the first person to be charged under the Laws in August 2006.”
Firstly, this is truly unbelievable as white supremacists are non existent here is Australia. I have never heard of any such groups previous to this article.
Secondly, the irony here that an Aboriginal teenager being the first person charged under these Laws is farcical when you consider the enormous amounts of racial prejudice and harassment that the Aborigines ( Native Australians ) have had to endure. Initially their country was invaded with hundreds of thousands of them being killed in the process. Then there is the matter of the “stolen generation” ( The Australian Prime minister recently publicly apologized to the Aboriginal people on behalf of the entire country ) where between 1910-1970 approximately 100,000 Aboriginal children were forcibly taken from their families by the government authorities and were then put up for adoption or handed over to Church or State institutions.
The dictionary.com meaning of Semitic 1. a subfamily of Afroasiatic languages that includes Akkadian, Arabic, Aramaic, Ethiopic, Hebrew, and Phoenician. 2. of or pertaining to the Semites or their languages, esp. of or pertaining to the Jews. 3. Of or relating to the Semites or their languages or cultures.
So why aren’t the other Semites ( Non Jews ) given the same emphasis and rights of this outrageous Law. Why are Jewish Semites considered a protected species when basically every other Ethnic group has had similar and in some cases much more severe racial harassment and mistreatment thrown upon them.
Why aren’t the rest of us ( Approx.94% Non-Jews on this planet ) privy to the same Laws and protection as the Semitic Jews are given. Maybe because they are pulling the strings in the US congress ( from their highest held positions in congress ) and after all they are the “chosen ones” and the rest of us are “human excrement “as quoted by former Israeli Prime minister Menachem Begin to former President Carter.
