The Federal government blatantly broke the law here and there are a lot of people even on this thread that ignore the fundamental problem. The point is Federal government has no lawful authority to take this action and it amazing to me that the entire nation isn't inflamed over this blatantly unconstitutional usurpation of powers. Mark my words, the fact that the Fed has done this means that they think their powers are no longer restrained by the constitution. Our Federal government is now officially a criminal enterprise.
Never even heard of this office. Where in the constitution was this power granted to the government. The government that was created by the states for their common defense?
Wilson received a letter from the US Office of Defense Trade Controls Compliance, Enforcement Division (DTCC/END) which demanded the group remove the content in question from public domain.
The complaint reads that the “DTCC/END” will review the data Defense Distributed has released to ensure compliance with “Category I of the USML” (United States Munitions List). Apparently, releasing the files possibly violated the ITAR, or International Traffic in Arms Regulations.
But no one is trafficking munitions or arms, just ideas.
