Woman Arrested for "Terrorist Threat" for Reading Constitution In Protest of Property Taxes Doubling

2013-03-16T07:03:14.532Z

NJ woman arrested, forced to turn over guns, after reading Constitution during tax dispute at public meeting - Hart was charged with making "terroristic threats" and told that if she didn't turn over her weapons, her bail would be prohibitively high

(Erica Ritz) A New Jersey mother was arrested and told to turn over her guns after reading the Constitution and peacefully protesting at a tax dispute forum, she says.

Eileen Hart was with her husband Keith and her 7-year-old daughter on Saturday at the Gloucester Community Center to dispute a mandatory home re-evaluation that would roughly double her property value (and therefore dramatically increase her rates), objecting on multiple grounds. As an Orthodox Jew, she refused to have the inspectors in her home when her husband was away at work. As an American citizen, she objected to the seemingly arbitrary reappraisal, noting that she is not planning on selling her home and hasn't renovated her kitchen in 30 years.

But at the forum, Hart was allegedly told that since she didn't let the inspectors into her home, the state has a right to "assume" its value.

"How could they assume that my value had doubled when there is absolutely no housing market?" she asked TheBlaze rhetorically over the phone. "There is basically no GDP growth."

After Hart started citing the Constitution, a representative of Appraisal Systems, Inc.-- the companycontracted by the state to conduct appraisals-- started "freaking out," she said, and called for New Jersey tax assessor Robyn Glocker-Hammond.

"Sit down and shut up," Hart said Glocker-Hammond told her, adding that she (Glocker-Hammond) was there to "enforce the law."

"I didn't see a badge," Hart noted. "Her title is tax assessor, not law enforcement officer."

Glocker-Hammond started speaking to Hart's husband like a "two-year-old," Hart claimed, and after she objected, Glocker-Hammond once again told her to be quiet.

"I have a right to speak out against this, this is a public place, my tax dollars pay your salary," Hart objected to the tax assessor, already incredulous at the drastic increase in her rates.

"I don't work for you," the assessor allegedly retorted.

At that point, Appraisal Systems, Inc. representative Andrew Colavecchio started advancing towards her, she said, like he was about to grab her arm. "Don't you dare touch me," she said after he allegedly got so close he touched her coat.

Glocker-Hammond then told her she had to leave the public forum and threatened to call the authorities, though Hart swears she never cursed or acted inappropriately.

That's when things got serious.

As Hart left the building she saw Colavecchio "sneering" at her and said to him in passing, "look at the little pencil-pusher."

Hart said Colavecchio threatened to call 911 and "ran after us in the parking lot like a banshee, his face was purple, [he was] disheveled, [he] started to take down my license plate and ran off. When he got to the doors of the building he screamed at us, 'let's see if you can pay your taxes now!'"

Much to her surprise, Hart returned home to numerous police cars, the officers asking if they could bring her in for questioning even though they did not have a warrant. She was not allowed to drive behind with her husband, but was forced to ride in the police vehicle.

Colavecchio had apparently told the police that Hart was "yelling and screaming" and threatened to return to the meeting with a gun.

Rand Paul EXPOSES: Obama Can Kill Americans w/ Drones

2013-03-07T04:22:00.797Z

Senator Rand Paul lashed out at the Obama administration last night following suggestions by Attorney General Eric Holder that the president is within his rights to assassinate Americans on American soil using drone strikes, without oversight.

“The thing about the drone strike program is, we’re not talking about someone’s actively attacking America, we’re not talking about planes flying into the World Trade Center.” Paul said in a Fox News interview.

“What we’re talking about is you’re eating dinner in your house. you’re eating at a cafe or you’re walking down the road. That’s when these drone strikes can occur.” Paul added, calling the development “particularly disturbing”.

“If you’re an American and you’re accused of a crime, one of the basic principles, one of the protections we’ve always had is, you get a trial… You don’t get convicted without a trial.” the Senator added.

“Listen to what his [Obama's] response is.” Paul urged. “His response is, we haven’t killed any Americans yet. We don’t intend to, but we might. And that’s pretty disturbing.”

Paul was speaking in reaction to Eric Holder’s response to his own letter asking if Americans could be targeted with drones.

Holder wrote that it was “possible,” for President Obama to “authorize the military to use lethal force within the territory of the United States,” citing the 9/11 terror attacks as an example.

In a further statement today, Holder told Congress that the federal government has “no intention” of using drones to strike at targets within the U.S., saying it’s easier to capture people here so that tool is not as important.

“The use of drones is from my perspective something that is entirely, entirely hypothetical,” he said.

Senator Paul has called for a pledge from the White House that drone strikes will not be used in America regardless of the circumstances.

“We’re talking about someone eating at a cafe in Boston, or New York, and a Hellfire missile comes raining in on them,” Paul said during a previous appearance on Fox News. “There should be an easy answer from the administration on this. They should say, ‘Absolutely no, we will not kill Americans in America without an accusation, a trial and a jury.’”

“The U.S. Attorney General’s refusal to rule out the possibility of drone strikes on American citizens and on American soil is more than frightening – it is an affront the Constitutional due process rights of all Americans,” Paul wrote in a further statement on his website.

Meanwhile, where domestic drone use for surveillance is concerned, advocacy group the Electronic Privacy and Information Center (EPIC) issued a statement on its website announcing that it is officially petitioning U.S. Customs and Border Protection over revelations that unmanned Predator drones under the agency’s operation can listen in on electronic communications.

EPIC noted that documents it recently obtained under the Freedom of Information Act show that the agency’s drones will be equipped with technology for signals interception and human identification.

The 2010 DHS “performance specification” document EPIC has uncovered states that “communication relay and interception” are preferable operations to use drones for, rather than relying on “sensors mounted in airships, aerostats, towers, and manned aircraft”. The document states that the capability has not yet been tested in the field.

According to the document, the drones are to have a “signals interception receiver,” that would be capable of intercepting cell phone and radio communications transmissions.

The Homeland Security design requirements also specify that the Predator B drones “shall be capable of identifying a standing human being at night as likely armed or not”.
