The Truth Hertz with Charles Giuliani and Robert-Arthur: Ménard
I believe that love, compassion and truth is my law. I looked in your statutes, couldn’t find those words anywhere. Therefore, these statutes cannot be my law. Highly relevant information about government, and what we can do about.

The Venus Project
The Venus Project shows how, "Monetary-ism, so to speak, is the true mechanism that guides the interests of all the countries on the planet. The most aggressive, and hence the most dominant variation of this monetary-ism is the, free enterprise system. The fundamental perspective, as put forth by early free market economists, like Adam Smith, is that self interest and competition leads to social prosperity, as the act of competition creates incentive, which motivates people to persevere...".
"Governments try to perpetuate that which keeps them in power. People are not elected to political office to change things. They are put there to keep things the way they are. So you see, the basis of corruption is in our society. Let me make it clear, all nations are basically corrupt, cause they tend to uphold existing institutions. I don't mean to uphold or down grade all nations, but communism, socialism, fascism, the free enterprise system, and all other sub-cultures, are the same. They all are basically corrupt." - Jacque Fresco
Oakland Shooting: Oscar Grant Killed by BART Police Officer
Submitted by Jray Nels on January 12, 2009 - 1:57pmEarly on New Year's Day, around 2:00 AM on January 1st, 2009, 22-year-old Oscar Grant was fatally shot in a Bay Area Rapid Transport (BART) station. Eyewitness, Karina Vargas, was able to capture part of the shooting on video with her cell phone while other bystanders, whose names have not been released, were able to film the event from more evident angles. Oscar and several others were pulled from the train and detained outside on the subway platform due to a fight that they were allegedly involved in. Oscar can be seen holding his hands up and pleading with the officers, however, once he was wrestled chest-down to the ground with one police officer's knee on top of his neck, a second officer stepped back to withdraw his gun and shot Oscar Grant in the back. Grant was then handcuffed and eventually he died.
Locals have proceeded to protest and riot, clearly angered by the use of police powers on citizens. Attorney for Grant's family, John Burris reports that the shooting was 'unconscionable' and has filed a $25 million dollar claim with BART.

The Patriot Act
The USA Patriot Act is a controversial body of statutes that was signed into law by George W. Bush on October 26th, 2001. The USA Patriot Act stands for The Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001, and was originally designed, "to deter and punish terrorist acts in the United States and around the world, to enhance law enforcement investigatory tools, and for other purposes." - thomas.loc.gov (H.R.3162) This piece of legislation deals specifically with surveillance procedures in the War on Terror and other criminal activities. Since this bills passage, many constitutional disputes have been raised against the act, which has been widely criticized for weakening American's civil liberties and Federal Courts have ruled several of the provisions to be unconstitutional.
Although none have passed, several other bills have been proposed to amend the USA Patriot Act such as the: Benjamin Franklin True Patriot Act, Protecting the Rights of Individuals Act and Security and Freedom Ensured Act. In addition, The Domestic Security Enhancement Act of 2003, which was immediately named the Patriot Act II, is designed to comply with the Patriot Act, setting new guidelines for internet surveillance.
