Will Grigg?s Liberty Minute

January 6, 2008

It is a familiar scene from countless World War II movies: A train comes to an unscheduled stop and is boarded by a party of armed, grim-faced men. Passengers are ordered to show their identity papers and submit their personal effects for inspection.
Such scenes of Fascist-style intimidation are becoming quite common in the USA.

Journalist J.D. Tuccille shares the experience of an Arizona legislator whose family was rudely awakened at 5:30 am during a trip by Amtrak from California to Arizona. Armed Border Patrol Agents clambered aboard and proceeded to inspect every cabin and passenger without a warrant or probable cause.

When he inquired what was happening, the legislator was told that ?We can stop any person, vehicle, or aircraft any time for any anywhere within 100 miles of the border.? That territory amounts to what has been called a ?Constitution-free zone? encompassing most of the American population.

Let us take back the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free.
