The Obama Administration has edited the Bill of Rights

So, the Obama Administration has edited the Bill of Rights on the The White House's Website.

What does it mean when the Executive Branch of the US Government's own website has edited the Bill of Rights without an Act of Congress? I'd say it means we are pretty fucked!



The www.whitehouse.gov Version of the Bill of Rights

The First Amendment provides that Congress make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting its free exercise. It protects freedom of speech, the press, assembly, and the right to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

The Second Amendment gives citizens the right to bear arms.

The Third Amendment prohibits the government from quartering troops in private homes, a major grievance during the American Revolution.

The Fourth Amendment protects citizens from unreasonable search and seizure. The government may not conduct any searches without a warrant, and such warrants must be issued by a judge and based on probable cause.

The Fifth Amendment provides that citizens not be subject to criminal prosecution and punishment without due process. Citizens may not be tried on the same set of facts twice, and are protected from self-incrimination (the right to remain silent). The amendment also establishes the power of eminent domain, ensuring that private property is not seized for public use without just compensation.

The Sixth Amendment assures the right to a speedy trial by a jury of one's peers, to be informed of the crimes with which they are charged, and to confront the witnesses brought by the government. The amendment also provides the accused the right to compel testimony from witnesses, and to legal representation.

The Seventh Amendment provides that civil cases also be tried by jury.

The Eighth Amendment prohibits excessive bail, excessive fines, and cruel and unusual punishments.

The Ninth Amendment states that the list of rights enumerated in the Constitution is not exhaustive, and that the people retain all rights not enumerated.

The Tenth Amendment assigns all powers not delegated to the United States, or prohibited to the states, to either the states or to the people.

China, Eminent Domain, State Sovereignty, WAR, Police State, & Colossal Debt

*Eminent Domain*

OK, so if you haven't heard by now, there are sources on the internet claiming that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton signed a written agreement with China that would give the Chinese government eminent domain to property and businesses inside of the U.S.

The Chinese have lent the US Federal Government $800 billion via Treasury debt securities. As of December 2008, the Chinese had $1.946 trillion USD in their currency reserves. Needless to say, China has a very real power to exert over the U.S.

$30 million per hour "is the rate at which China is adding to its reserves of foreign currencies – mostly dollars..."



*State Sovereignty*

Fourteen state congresses in the U.S. have introduced legislation pertaining to the 10th Amendment. The 10th Amendment reads, "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."

These States declaring sovereignty are Arizona, Arkansas, Georgia, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, New Hampshire, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Washington.



*WAR*

Where do we start with the war? We have over a million people dead in Iraq. When does this become a crime against humanity? When does it become wrong to kill innocent people for profit? Just because a new administration has entered the White House with better rhetoric doesn't justify what is still going on daily in the Middle East and around the world due to U.S. occupation and Covert Operations.

As of 2006, the US was spending $8 million per hour just on the war in Iraq. The cost of the war in Iraq to date is more than $601 billion. That is $1,721 per person, $341.4 million per day, and $4,681 per household.



*Police State*

U.S. Military units are conducting training exercises in American Cities and Towns. According to Pentagon Officials, "The U.S. military expects to have 20,000 uniformed troops inside the United States by 2011." There are constantly pieces of legislation introduced and passed by the U.S. government that destroy the civil liberties of the American people.

The U.S. government confiscates reporters' property, there is a national rash of police misconduct and excessive force cases all over the country. Protesters are greeted by riot police. The riot police do not respect the inherent rights of the protesters. There is a move toward the militarization of local police that is funded by the Federal Government.

Oh, and just recently, the U.S. government placed a very large order for domestic riot gear. There are already troops on active duty inside the U.S. under the command of Northern Command.




*Debt Like the World Has Never Seen*

I am not even going to attempt to explain the enormity of the debt incurred by the U.S. Government. So, watch this video and see for your self.

Antidepressant Drugs May Also Suppress Basic Human Emotions

(Click Picture for Psychiatry Documentary)

Source: Wired

Antidepressant drugs, already known to cause sexual side effects, may also suppress the basic human emotions of love and romance.

That SSRIs, or selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors — the most common type of antidepressant — cause sexual dysfunction is common knowledge. Of the 31 million adults in the United States who take the SSRIs, about 30 percent are believed to experience sexual dysfunction.

But a new theory suggests that SSRI antidepressants may also subtly alter the fundamental chemistry of love and romance, snuffing the first sparks between two people otherwise destined to become lovers, and preventing couples from bonding.

"There's every reason to think SSRIs blunt your ability to fall and stay in love," said Helen Fisher, a Rutgers University biological anthropologist who has pioneered the modern science of love.

For some people, of course, sexual side effects are an acceptable price to pay for curing debilitating depression. But as antidepressant use becomes more common, extending beyond full-blown clinical depression to disorders like anxiety and, in some cases, insomnia, the possibility of love-stunting is troubling.

SSRI antidepressants work by boosting circulating levels of serotonin, a mood-regulating neurotransmitter that also inhibits desire. The drugs also decrease dopamine, a neurotransmitter involved in a wide range of cognitive and behavioral processes, among them desire and arousal. The new research suggests that dopamine may also play a part in romance.

During sex, a cocktail of hormones is released that appears to play important roles in fostering romantic attachment within the brain. Take away sex, and romantic love can dwindle. But this is just part of the problem, say Fisher and University of Virginia psychiatrist James Thomson.

Dopamine also appears central to the neurobiology of romantic love and attachment, conditions that Fisher believes to be affected by — but ultimately distinct from — sexual love and its effects. She and Thomson say that SSRIs may do more than cause sexual dysfunction: They also suppress romance.

"There are all sorts of unconscious systems in our brain that we use to negotiate romantic love and romantic attraction," said Thomson. "If these drugs cause conscious sexual side effects, we'd argue that there are going to be side effects that are not conscious."

According to Fisher, humans have three distinct but interconnected love-related brain systems: one for sex, another for attachment and another for romantic love. This is still hypothetical — nobody knows exactly what love does in the brain — but Fisher has been a pioneering researcher on romantic love's neurobiology, and dopamine indeed appears important.

When couples have just fallen in love, the mere sight of the other causes a jump in dopamine-related brain activity. If they manage to stay in love, with the early flush giving way to long-term affection, those brain patterns stay active.

Reduced dopamine levels, however, are an inevitable effect of SSRIs. Reduce dopamine, say Fisher and Thomson, and the possibility of love itself is reduced. 

Though biologically plausible, definitive evidence for this has yet to be found. The only study to specifically test the hypothesis was conducted by Saint Mary's University psychologist Maryanne Fisher, who found that women taking antidepressants tended to have muted reactions when showed pictures of attractive men. The effect was small, however, and the study has not been reproduced.

University of California at Los Angeles psychiatrist Andrew Leuchter acknowledged that increasing serotonin can decrease dopamine, but has not seen difficulties in forming emotional attachments among his patients. "I've seen people who have great difficulty with their emotional attachments, who think they've fallen out of love or want to isolate themselves, come alive again," said Leuchter, who receives funding from antidepressant drugmakers. "I'm not sure the syndrome [Fisher and Thomson] describe exists."

Thomson and Fisher, on the other hand, report the opposite: antidepressant takers who've lost the capacity for romantic feeling.

Clinical studies of antidepressant side effects do little to settle this debate. They've focused on sexual problems, which are far easier to measure than subtle effects on something so ephemeral as a spark.

Thomson recommended that psychologists investigating romance ask test subjects whether they take antidepressants. He also suggests that the possibility of romantic stunting be considered when deciding whether antidepressants should be prescribed to a child or young adult.

"Does it impact the development of those areas of the brain involved in love and sexuality? Does it impair the feelings and behaviors of romantic love and sexuality and the learning processes, which might be required to bring those areas of the brain online?" said Thomson. "We don't know."

Said Fisher, "We want to know about the side effects of other drugs. Why not know about the side effects of these drugs, which affect our reproductive future?"

Another alternative could be drugs that don't boost serotonin. Bupropion, also known as Wellbutrin, increases levels of dopamine and norepinephrine, another neurotransmitter; it's been associated with far lower levels of sexual dysfunction, but doesn't work for everyone.

Drug companies are currently designing next-generation antidepressants that raise dopamine, serotonin and norepinephrine levels simultaneously, and might have fewer romantic side effects. However, none of these drugs are yet on the market, and projected side effects remain hypothetical.

"Any drug in development is always better than anything out there," said Leuchter. "And then, once they hit the market, nothing is perfect."
