   Subject: Celebrate our freedom this 4th of July

   As we go out to celebrate our freedom this 4th of July, let's go
   over a few things to make your celebration a success.

   Before leaving home make sure you check the color coded Homeland
   Security alert status. Be especially careful if it is orange or red.
   Don't worry about yellow. It's always yellow.

   Don't use any illegal fireworks in your 4th Celebration. It is for
   your own safety. And the founding father's implemented a government
   to protect you from yourselves. Didn't they? Besides, fireworks are
   explosive devices and you might be considered a terrorist with
   weapons of mass destruction. And although the government can't find
   any in Iraq, you can rest assured they will find them in your car
   trunk. But don't worry, getting arrested, imprisoned indefinitely
   without formal charges, and a 5 year wait before the secret tribunal
   trial per the Patriot Act is a breeze. It's that secret summary
   execution that should make you nervous.

   Make sure you are buckled up in your seat belts, there will be
   roadblocks and checkpoints to make sure you comply. It is for the
   children.

   If you are an airline employee, lighten up for the holiday, you can
   always look for a job tomorrow. Maybe you could transfer over to a
   Federal Airport Security Screener job. Big demand for those jobs and
   you don't have to be smart.

   If you are a Haliburton employee, then celebrate, you probably have
   a raise coming from the Iraqi contract windfall.

   If celebrating on any public property,
   make no mention or relgious ideals.
   Government is god there.
   You will be aprehended.

   Have your papers ready as you approach the holiday police checkpoints.

   Don't criticize the President or other government officials, you
   might be in violation of the Patriot Act and considered a possible
   terrorist.

   Don't mention the Constitution in any district court or you could be
   held in contempt.

   If your children get out of line this holiday, do not discipline
   them, or they may be kidnapped by the Dept. of Social Services and
   held hostage until you receive approved psychological therapy and
   are deemed acceptable.

   Show compassion this Independence Day by bringing an illegal
   immigrant to your celebration or by hugging a tree.

   If an election is occurring in your locality within the next 90
   days, do not talk about or publicly support any candidate, as that
   is no longer lawful. Keep your mouth shut.

   If an officer asks to search your vehicle at the "seat belt" checks,
   do not be belligerent and demand a search warrant. Standing up for
   your fourth amendment rights is anti-social and not in tune with the
   new American way. Are you with Al Quada or something?

   Do not get upset when the searching officer will not help you pick
   up your belongings that he has strewn all over the highway as he
   searched your vehicle. It is not in his job description and
   complaining will get you charged with obstructing justice.

   Keep your guns at home. You are not going hunting and besides, What
   on earth do guns have to do with American Independence? Better yet,
   turn your guns into the authorities to let them know that you are a
   true patriotic American.

   Better yet, just STAY at home. BUT do not assume that you are safe,
   because you are at home. If a government bureaucrat shows up at your
   home, he will probably be flashing a badge at you. This makes him
   look like a constitutional law enforcement officer. He may even be
   armed. Do not ask to see a warrant, and then tell him to leave if he
   does not have one. They will put a siege around your house. If you
   do not come out soon enough, they may invade, with guns drawn, or
   even set your house on fire.
   For more information, do a search using keywords like "Symbionese
   Liberation Army", "Philadelphia MOVE group", "Gordon Kahl", "The
   Order", "Robert Matthews", "Covenant of the Sword and Arm of the
   Lord", "Randy Weaver" , "Branch Davidian", or "Elian Gonzalez".

   If you are counting on you congressman to protect you,
   understand that the average congressman is ALSO afraid to resist.
   For more information, do a search using keywords like "George
   Hanson" , "James Trafficant" or "Larry McDonald".

   If celebrating at the mall in Washington DC. you are probably safe
   as the mall is now monitored by hundreds of surveillance cameras,
   watched by federal security forces. Don't do anything that you
   wouldn't want them to see.

   Bring lots of cash with you, there will be many taxes, fines, and
   fees to pay as you celebrate your freedoms this day.

   Do not leave home without your driver's license, social security
   card, birth certificate, welfare card, medicare card, medical
   records, W-2 Form, and two others forms of ID. You may be asked for
   them at the police checkpoints.
   Better yet, get micro-chipped, and avoid the hassle of carrying
   around your papers.

   Bring your library card, the FBI may ask you for it.

   Do not put any "anti-government" bumper stickers on your car.
   Especially not anything about the right to keep and bear arms.
   Police have been trained by the FBI in "bumper sticker profiling".
   This attracts their attention at the check points, and makes you
   look like a terrorist.

   With regard to "bumper sticker profiling" you should be especially
   aware of the fact that "They will get my gun, when they pry it from
   my cold dead fingers" is no longer mere semantics. At WACO, and at
   RUBY RIDGE,
   we learned that they WILL kill you to take your guns

   ALSO, be careful not to have any unauthorized THOUGHTS.
   There are now serious penalties for "thought crime".
   Be aware that "civil forfeiture" laws make it possible to take
   anything that you own, by alleging that it was "intended" to be used
   for the commission of a crime. This could include transporting or
   storing a gun.
   If "civil forfeiture" proceedings are initiated against you,
   then you will have the burden of proof,
   to show that your thoughts were in compliance with government standards.

   Keep an eye on your fellow Americans as you celebrate this 4th of
   July. If you see anything supicious, take notes so that when you get
   home you can call and report them to the Homeland Security Office.
   And remember you are not a nosey snitch, you are a great American
   Patriot.

   Do not mention the signers of the Declaration of Independence this
   4th of July. Mentioning these white subversive terrorists is not
   popular and could get you in big trouble. Besides what do these guys
   have to do with the 4th of July anyway?
   Do not leave home without one or more little plastic American flags
   made by political slaves in Communist China. Make sure you have one
   flying from the antennae of your vehicle. You don't want to seem
   un-American do you?

   Do not take a copy of the Declaration of Independence with you as it
   advocates the overthrow of tyrannical government. It is a terrorist
   document and will be confiscated at the holiday police checkpoints.
   Same advice for the Constitution.
   And remember, as you leave home for your 4th of July outing, that
   the second you stepped out of your door that you probably broke
   hundreds of federal, state, and local laws that you are probably
   unaware of. However, if you tow the line, you will not be charged.

   Don't even think about taxes on this great day. The 50 per cent
   government confiscation of your income at the threat of imprisonment
   or at the point of a gun should not even cross your mind as you
   revel in your freedom. After all, April 15th is a long way off.

   And whatever you do, do not let on that you really know that true
   freedom died a long time ago in America, just have fun for the day
   and then go home and stick your head back in the sand and pretend
   America is not becoming a socialist police state.

   If you have a few decades with nothing better to do, study up on
   "administrative law". Laws are now made by the unelected
   bureaucrats, in hundreds of "administrative agencies". If you are
   charged with violating one of these "laws" you will not get a trial
   by a jury of your peers. You will be tried by the agency that made
   the charge.

   I hope this message gets past the Department of Homeland security
   approved internet filter.
   How else can they protect us from unauthorized thought?

   Now go out and celebrate your independence and have a great
   Independence Day!
