In 2017 I made the case for several radical proposals that I reaffirm now:

• Kill FISA, of course, but also nullify the National Security Act of 1947.
• Eliminate the FBI, CIA and NSA, leaving all domestic law enforcement to more local, appropriate units of government, and already-constitutionally authorized courts. 
• Make the US Congress directly manage our foreign spy operations and funding under specific congressional warrants and limitations, including the Geneva Conventions, just as with constitutional funding and declaration of war and national defense (which hasn’t been the case since WWII, BTW).
• Make the process and results of FOIA requests more open and complete.
• Most importantly, I proposed making it a serious crime, eligible for criminal and civil punishment, for agencies and agents of government to withhold the immediate and full release of requested information to congress, and/or in most circumstances, as specified by congress, to the public.

In the years since 2017, it has become obvious to a larger number of us, that secrecy and deceit has enabled the creation of a corrupt and perverse system of control that is in the final phases of destroying our republic.   If I’d been the only one calling for us to wake up, I wouldn’t be so worried that my frequent and public proposals have been ignored.  But I’m not the only one, or the most recent, or the most familiar with the shadowy puppet masters behind the curtain.

“…We want no Gestapo or secret police. The FBI is tending in that direction. They are dabbling in sex-life scandals and plain blackmail.  J. Edgar Hoover would give his right eye to take over, and all congressmen and senators are afraid of him.” —  President Harry S. Truman

“Yet, in holding scientific research and discovery in respect, as we should, we must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific-technological elite.” —  President Dwight D. Eisenhower

“The very word ‘secrecy’ is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths and to secret proceedings. We decided long ago that the dangers of excessive and unwarranted concealment of pertinent facts far outweighed the dangers which are cited to justify it.” —  President John F Kennedy

Liberty or Bust!
