The circumstance may soon arrive in which anti-war or human rights protesters suddenly feel a burning sensation akin to touching a hot skillet over their entire body. Simultaneously they may hear terrifying nauseating screaming, which while not produced externally, fills their brains with overwhelming disruption. Not only are both phenomena currently possible, but designs for more powerful EMF technologies receive continuous funding from the US Government.
I posted about this horrifying technology yesterday.
The more I think about it, the more I hate it.
If this is ever, ever used within the borders of the United States on we the people, that would be a declaration that the government is despotic, illegitimate, rogue, and requires an overthrow.
Arbitrary power is most easily established on the ruins of liberty abused to licentiousness.
-- George Washington, Circular to the States, May 9, 1753
He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.
-- Thomas Paine, Dissertation on First Principles of Government, December 23, 1791
An ELECTIVE DESPOTISM was not the government we fought for; but one which should not only be founded on free principles, but in which the powers of government should be so divided and balanced among several bodies of magistracy, as that no one could transcend their legal limits, without being effectually checked and restrained by the others.
-- James Madison, Federalist No. 48, February 1, 1788
All, too, will bear in mind this sacred principle, that though the will of the majority is in all cases to prevail, that will to be rightful must be reasonable; that the minority possess their equal rights, which equal law must protect, and to violate would be oppression.
-- Thomas Jefferson, First Inaugural Address, March 4, 1801
If the federal government should overpass the just bounds of its authority and make a tyrannical use of its powers, the people, whose creature it is, must appeal to the standard they have formed, and take such measures to redress the injury done to the Constitution as the exigency may suggest and prudence justify.
-- Alexander Hamilton, Federalist No. 33, January 3, 1788
They that can give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.
-- Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania, 1759
Fear is the foundation of most governments; but it is so sordid and brutal a passion, and renders men in whose breasts it predominates so stupid and miserable, that Americans will not be likely to approve of any political institution which is founded on it.
-- John Adams, Thoughts on Government, 1776
