In recent days Natural News editor Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, warned of a coming multi-city attack throughout the United States similar to the one that took place in Paris in November and in San Bernardino, Calif., in December. Bugout.news editor Jon E. Dougherty wrote a manuscript in 2006 examining the impact of multiple terrorist attacks in the U.S. on Americans’ constitutional rights and freedoms, a theme he continued in graduate school in 2014-15. This article is one of a series to be published over the course of several days that will provide readers insight into what they might expect in terms of reactions by federal and state governments if Adams’ prediction comes true, and if the premise of Dougherty’s research is confirmed.
(Bugout.news) In the aftermath of new terrorist attacks – especially if those attacks were to involve weapons of mass destruction – one of the most costly casualties is likely to be the U.S. Constitution. It’s entirely possible a great number of elected officials, civilian heads of government agencies, military chiefs, political advocacy groups and even media representatives and pundits would call for dramatic curbs on personal freedoms and liberties, all in the name of enhancing public safety. And if they were to get those restrictions, there is no telling when – or even if – Americans would ever enjoy basic constitutional liberties again.
Which liberties are most at risk? In a worst-case scenario, the entire Constitution could be suspended, though that is unlikely. That said, if history is any indication, our ten most cherished freedoms – those embodied in the Bill of Rights – are in the gravest danger. Among them, specifically, the freedom of speech and assembly (First Amendment); the right to keep and bear arms (Second Amendment); no warrantless searches and the reasonable expectation of privacy (Fourth Amendment); and states’ rights (Tenth Amendment) could suffer the most. Here’s how. source
