UPDATE: Indiana Supreme Court Threatened After Ruling Allows Warrantless House to House Searches

CROWN POINT, Ind. – According to Newton County Sheriff, Don Hartman Sr., random house to house searches are now possible and could be helpful following the Barnes v. STATE of INDIANA Supreme Court ruling issued on May 12^th, 2011. When asked three separate times due to the astounding callousness as it relates to trampling the inherent natural rights of Americans, he emphatically indicated that he would use random house to house checks, adding he felt people will welcome random searches if it means capturing a criminal.

Speaking under the condition of anonymity, a local city Police Chief with 30 years experience in law enforcement directly contradicted the Newton County Sheriff’s blatant disregard for privacy & liberty, stating that as an American first, such an action is unconscionable and that his allegiance is to the Indiana and federal Constitutions respectively. However, he also concurred that the ruling does now allow for police to randomly search homes should a department be under order by state or federal officials or under a department’s own accord.

At this time we are still awaiting comments from several state offices.

However, the spokesperson for the INDIANA ATTORNEY GENERAL took umbrage at what he referred to as “large” assumptions regarding police power and at this time has no comment. He did however indicate that should the INDIANA Attorney General, Greg Zoeller feel it necessary to make a statement, that this reporter would be included in the distribution of the release.

CATO- Thanks to the push for a more transparent Congress, we’re getting a better look at what new health care regulations might shape up to be. Alas, not a very good look: with weak justifications, the Senate Finance Committee is working on a strange “plain language” description of the bill, and apparently not planning to read or release the final language¹.

I’ve found something worth noting, though, in each of the bill versions I’ve seen. The Senate Finance Committee’s Rube Goldberg plan for health care in America has a provision establishing paragraph talking about “Eligibility Verification.”

If you want to access the “state exchanges” or collect the federal tax credits created by the bill, your eligibility will have to be verified. Here’s what it says:

Eligibility Verification. In order to prevent illegal immigrants from accessing the state exchanges or obtaining federal health care tax credits, the Chairman‘s Mark requires verification of the following personal data. Name, social security number, and date of birth will be verified with Social Security Administration (SSA) data. For individuals claiming to be U.S. citizens, if the claim of citizenship is consistent with SSA data then the claim will be considered substantiated. For individuals who do not claim to be U.S. citizens but claim to be lawfully present in the United States, if the claim of lawful presence is consistent with Department of Homeland Security (DHS) data then the claim will be considered substantiated. Individuals whose status is expected to expire in less than a year are not allowed to obtain the tax credit. Individuals whose claims of citizenship or lawful status cannot be verified with federal data must be allowed substantial opportunity to provide documentation or correct federal data related to their case that supports their contention.

AMERICA’S HEALTHY FUTURE ACT of 2009
Page 27

Translation: Every American who wants to access a “state exchange” or get the tax credits in the bill would have to submit data about themselves to the Social Security Administration or Department of Homeland Security for verification. If you don’t do it, no exchanges or tax credits. If your data doesn’t match, no exchanges or tax credits, unless you can convince SSA or DHS bureaucrats that you are who you say you are.

If you’re one of the millions of people about whom the Social Security Administration has bad data, plan to spend long hours waiting in line to plead with indifferent federal bureaucrats for health care access. When attacks and complications on the verification system break down, they’ll move to “strengthen” the system. Get ready to dig up your birth certificate—they’ll want to scan it into their computers—plan to be photographed and fingerprinted, and get ready to stand in line for your national ID card.

Last April, amidst the made for television melodrama of Hillary versus Barrack and as our economy was really beginning to show the first signs of its impending collapse; the “Democrat” controlled Congress and lame-duck President, passed and signed into law, Senate 1858. Sponsored by terrorist Senator Christopher Dodd (D-CT) along with twenty-one co-sponsors, the charlatans who profess to defend privacy, drafted a bill in which DNA samples will be taken immediately upon birth from all newborns delivered in hospitals and stored via a web accessible database.¹

In a stunning Illumination of their arrogance and/or cowardice, neither chamber recorded the votes, thus no official roll call vote exists in any official Congressional Journal. According to Republican co-sponsor Senator Lugar’s office, both chambers invoked chamber specific rules of “Unanimous Consent”. While usually used as a means to speed along legislation during a heavy calendar, it should also be noted that “Unanimous Consent” conveniently shields members, less sponsors and co-sponsors from political repercussions.

Additionally, even though the House passed the bill in the same manner, we do know that at least one Representative, a doctor no less, staunchly opposed the bill. Further reinforcing why he is known as “Dr. No” in Congress, Representative Ron Paul (R-TX) spoke passionately from the well of the House stating:

“Those of us in the medical profession should be particularly concerned about policies allowing government officials and state-favored interests to access our medical records without our consent … My review of S. 1858 indicates the drafters of the legislation made no effort to ensure these newborn screening programs do not violate the privacy rights of parents and children, in fact, by directing federal bureaucrats to create a contingency plan for newborn screening in the event of a ‘public health’ disaster, this bill may lead to further erosions of medical privacy. As recent history so eloquently illustrates, politicians are more than willing to take, and people are more than willing to cede, liberty during times of ‘emergency.”

The law, implemented this past Fall, attempts to justify itself by citing the need for “contingency” planning and as preparation for a national public health disaster. Reading further we see that the DNA effectively becomes property of the government and its approved contractor laboratories. The law also makes it clear that the newborn DNA samples in addition to being cataloged will also be subject to genetic experimentation and manipulation.

In a report issued by the “Citizens Council on Health Care”² some of the more invasive portions of the bill that became law are:

• Establish a national list of genetic conditions for which newborns and children are to be tested.




• Establish protocols for the linking and sharing of genetic test results nationwide.




• Build surveillance systems for tracking the health status and health outcomes of individuals diagnosed at birth with a genetic defect or trait.




• Use the newborn screening program as an opportunity for government agencies to identify, list, and study “secondary conditions” of individuals and their families.




• Subject citizens to genetic research without their knowledge or consent.

It does indeed seem to indicate that the plutocratic oligarchs are becoming more brazen in announcing publicly their disdain for we the people, or as they see us; their chattel. If we do not  realize that no government needs this sort of authority, regardless of figurehead, we will soon wake up reduced to rule under absolute despotism.
