The Soon Coming Judgment Of God Upon America and How To Escape It                349
Commissioners, Judges, and the Court of Appeals. He tried to get an appointment with the
prosecuting attorney, and he made complaints to the local police but no one would help him. No
one cared enough to help. He has been battling this for six years. He has only been able to endure
the hardship by the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, by developing a deeper relationship with his
heavenly Father, by increased prayer and worship and by relying upon God’s promises recorded
in scripture. These promises from God are something we all need to hold close to our heart in
faith. Check the endnote for the biblical texts containing these promises.

The Subversion Of The Constitution
The Patriot Act
The Patriot Act gave government new tools to suppress the people and invade their
privacy. Judge Napolitano explained portions of the Act on Fox News after the Act was renewed
in 2006. The following comes from a transcript obtained by Devy Kidd and posted at her
website. Comments and questions by the host Shepard Smith have been edited out to conserve
space. Judge Napolitano explained:
Well, I have learned that the Patriot Act, in the name of fighting terrorism,
allows agents to do things that we've never allowed them to do in the history of
the United States.... For instance, to read our mail without us knowing it and
without getting a search warrant. They can go to the post office, they can write
their own search warrant and require the post office to give them your mail....
Without a judge involved at all. They can go to your bank, your lawyer,
your doctor, your accountant, your computer server, your telephone company,
again (his emphasis) without a search warrant from a judge, but with their own,
self hand written search warrant and require those people, who keep confidential
information on all Americans, to turn that over. You may say, 'Well, my doctor
would call me, my banker would call me.'
Well....no. They will tell the person to whom they're giving the self written
search warrant it's a felony for them to speak to anyone about it. They can't tell
their spouse, they can't tell their lawyer. They can't even tell a Federal Judge in a
Federal Judge's courtroom that they have been the recipient of one of these search
warrants. That, of course, prevents them from challenging it for a year. We are not
accustomed in this country to having that kind of power in the hands of federal
agents.
We have always put a neutral judge between the government agent and the
target of that agent. The Patriot Act changes that.... The Patriot Act, with a search
warrant, allows Federal agents to break into your house, make it look like a
burglary, steal your checkbook and leave and they don't have to tell you about it
for a year. Now, you may say, well, why?...
That's what they're supposed to do, however, they have used this power to
fight organized crime, drug dealing, pornography and political corruption. The
last in the city of Las Vegas....
