On June 23, 2022 The U. S. Supreme Court Decided: George Orwell's book "Animal Farm" is about farm animals who decide they can get rid of their human rulers and have a better life ruling themselves. Their revolt against their human owner succeeds. To guarantee the rights of individual animals a list of commandments was posted on the barn wall. As time passed the pigs, who had became the ruling class due to their intelligence, altered the commandments to allow themselves privileges and power that were initially forbidden. The alterations were never announced. They were always discovered later by the animals who came to look at it after noticing the exercise of those privileges and power by the pigs. On June 23, 2005. the U. S. Supreme Court made a similar alteration to the Fifth Amendment not by changing its wording but with a sly redefinition of the words "public use." The Fifth Amendment of the Bill of Rights: " No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation. " What "public use" used to mean, and what the founding fathers meant it to mean, were public works projects such as roads and schools. It has now been redefined to mean any private business purpose that will produce more taxes than currently. If the constitution had been painted on the barn wall "public use" would have been painted over and in its place would be "public purpose." This change means no one's real estate, even one's own home, is safe. Anyone's private real estate can be taken over by any well connected developer or corporation for a purpose that will pay more taxes. ** A Taste For Blood and Property! ** * * * Land Grabbing, "Eminent Domain" Style * * * * * "We Cannot Rely On Judges To Protect Our Freedoms" * * When the decision was handed down they said not to worry.
