This was a bulletin I saw posted on Myspace. I thought it was scary and funny at the same time! Look at the wording, and imagine how easy it is to interpret these things to make just about any American fit the mold!
Please note, the highlighted areas were already that way, when they were originally posted. I just coppied and pasted the image!
The FBI has passed these pamphlets to law enforcement agencies.
So let's put this out there in simplified english. You are a terrorist suspect if:
* You defend the United States Constitution. (Being a patriot makes me a terrorist?)
* You refer to the United States Constitution. (I guess virtually every school teacher is a terrorist.)
* You believe in animal rights. (Sorry little animals, making sure you're taken care of means I'm gonna blow up a building.)
* You are a lone individual. (I can't think of any way to make fun of that except to say read it again.)
* You are a Christian. (Hundreds of religions, thousands of denominations, but I guess only Christians can blow something up.)
I don't need to say the obvious: Our government has set its citizens up so that anything you do or say that they don't like can be construed as a terrorist possibility. They say that, in short, this is so we can learn more faster and respond quicker to terrorist activites. Bullshit. The government wants to be able to control its citizens and be able to rely on actual laws set in place rather than manipulation or "coverups."
This is evident in The "Patriot" Act:
SEC. 213. AUTHORITY FOR DELAYING NOTICE OF THE EXECUTION OF A WARRANT.
Section 3103a of title 18, United States Code, is amended--
(1) by inserting ..(a) IN GENERAL- ' before ..In addition'; and
(2) by adding at the end the following:
..(b) DELAY- With respect to the issuance of any warrant or court order under this section, or any other rule of law, to search for and seize any property or material that constitutes evidence of a criminal offense in violation of the laws of the United States, any notice required, or that may be required, to be given may be delayed if--
..(1) the court finds reasonable cause to believe that providing immediate notification of the execution of the warrant may have an adverse result (as defined in section 2705);
..(2) the warrant prohibits the seizure of any tangible property, any wire or electronic communication (as defined in section 2510), or, except as expressly provided in chapter 121, any stored wire or electronic information, except where the court finds reasonable necessity for the seizure; and
..(3) the warrant provides for the giving of such notice within a reasonable period of its execution, which period may thereafter be extended by the court for good cause shown.'.
There is not a single part of this act that does not violate the 4th Amendment:
Amendment IV
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
Ladies and gentlemen, I'm not asking you to abandon hope, and I'm not telling you the end of the world is coming. What I'm telling you is just read what is happening. Look at what your government is doing. They are taking every possible inch of control and leaving no room for argument in a court of law. Technically, with the examples they've given and the new laws they passed, even writing this blog or having this myspace profile is grounds for me being suspected of terrorism.
There is no denying, what we are seeing is one group's throw to ultimate power
I'm a terrorist, are you?
