3rd Party Presidential Candidate Jail Debate: Round Two
By Ed Ward, MD, MT

October 13, 2004

Jail Debate: Round two is here. Difficulties in finding the correct prison facilities are making the debate itinerary hard to finalize. So many prisons, so few 3rd party Presidential Candidates (PCs). By publication time, a hearing will have been conducted in the case of the Arizona Libertarian Party v. the Arizona State University and the Commission on Presidential Debates. This attempt was to shut down the Bush - Kerry debate, scheduled for Wednesday or allow access for 3rd party participation.

"Do not separate text from historical background. If you do, you will have perverted and subverted the Constitution, which can only end in a distorted, bastardized form of illegitimate government." James Madison

One has to wonder what good it will do for the Honorable Judge Pendleton Gaines, Superior Court of Maricopa County, to dispense another Order, unless of course it is in favor of this government and against the Constitution. It appears as though only favorable decisions for this government are carried forward and actually served. An issued Order to Show Cause was simply not served previously. Why will this time be any different? What makes this judicial paper any different than the previous one that was simply left to sit in a file on a desk. This government is refusing to serve this government. The judge seems to be impotent unless this government does it's Constitutional Duty. One would have to think this judge could do something regarding those in this government under his jurisdiction that need to be held accountable. Or the judge needs to be judged.

"[The legislature] are bound to leave this particular right untouched and sacred, [or] we must say, that they may control freedom of the press, may abolish the trial by jury, may swallow the Executive and the Judiciary Powers of the State; nay that they may despoil us of our very right of suffrage." James Madison

The National Press is Officially AWOL. (Absent Without Leave)

"If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be. The functionaries of every government have propensities to command at will the liberty and property of their constituents. There is no safe deposit for these but with the people themselves; nor can they be safe with them without information. Where the press is free, and every man able to read, all is safe." Thomas Jefferson

There is no longer a "national press". After two Presidential Candidates were arrested via Constitutional Rights violations, without any coverage to the general public. They will henceforth be called the 'corporate mess press'. Don't worry, the corporate press will have clear orders from their corporations and government to stay clear of the courthouse and jail debate areas. Rumor has it there was a Restraining Order, granted the corporate press, because they were 'afraid' and fearful of harm by PC Badnarik's and PC Cobb's platforms of government. If either, PC Badnarik or PC Cobb get within 500 yards of any corporate press member, their home, work, places they might frequent (the butts of the democrat and republocrat political parties), any family members of the corporate press or their corporate bosses, there will be a 'Rounding up of the usual suspects...' and the Jail Debate will be held prior to the standard 'on the day of the fascist parties debate'. If any corporate press do happen to wander by, the debate will be stopped and moved to a prison at least 500 yards away. This will cause serious prison transportation problems for both PCs as there are many in the corporate press, their habitats, etc., but, this government is determined to make sure corporations and government power are safe from corporation and government fear. Hopefully, the most viable 3rd Party Presidential Candidate will get a chance to put a Restraining Order on this government. Only time will tell.

"Since the general civilization of mankind, I believe there are more instances of the abridgment of the freedom of the people, by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power, than by violent and sudden usurpations." James Madison
