Homegrown Terror Bill is a declaration of War vs The people

Today I stumbled upon a well-written reaction to the Homegrown terror bill. It is good to see many others are aware of the simple fact that this bill is a Deceleration of War against the American people!

On October 23, 2007 the U.S. Government declared War on the American People. HR 1955: The Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act designates every American who acts against the U.S. Government to be a Homegrown Terrorist. If you've ever said that George W. Bush should be hanged as a war criminal, you sir, are a Terrorist.

The Author concurs with the many opponents to this bill who recognise it's true implications:

Once this bill passes through the Senate and is signed into Law by the President, it will no longer be safe to speak out against the Government. Any word spoken across telephone lines, or written and recorded on the Internet, could potentially be scrutinized by the Department of Homeland Security, and lead more innocent victims to secret prisons to be subjected to violent acts of torture.

But this has been the plan all along and it will require every single person to stand up against tyranny. As quoted in the movie V for Vendetta,

"The truth is there is something terribly wrong with this country"

This excerpt is cleverly interlaced with current footage of global events, this film represents a depiction of the very real horror facing all of us:

Who is to blame for letting Governments pass laws that give them the write to send someone to Gitmo because they disagree with Governement policy?

"If you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into the mirror!"

We are ALL guilty if we continue to support companies and Government representatives who do not have our best interests at heart. To fight back it is time to support websites that really DO give it's readers objective news, views and solutions like SOTT.net.

What will make more difference to the world? receiving a cheap plastic tacky gift made in a Chinese sweatshop or contributing a small amount to helping bring about change? Read more here: V-for-Vendetta - give a penny for the guy

Homegrown Terror Bill - Update - 4 incorrect assumptions and a truth

The 'right wing monkey poo' Technology site (see assumption 3 for clarification) 'arts technica' just published the following article entitled:Congress to examine "the Internet" as a tool for homegrown terrorism. There is nothing remarkable or particulary interesting about the article other than a few incorrect assumptions the author makes to essentially say, "nothing to worry about here folks, go back to sleep, it's for your own good anyway" Let me show you why.

Assumption one:

"The section quoted above is, in fact, the only specific mention of the Internet in the bill."

So what? - The bill only mentions the internet specifically once therefore it isn't really too much to worry about???? let's say I've decided that your Grandmother's personal internet communications are deemed offensive and she's marked as a dissident, it's declared that she's a homegrown terrorist and she's sent to a detention centre without trial, but there is only one picture of her, does that mean it didn't happen? clearly not!Assumption two:

"The remainder of the "findings" only vaguely address a need to understand, prevent, and combat homegrown terrorism in the US—all of which are noble goals—with the Internet being the only tool singled out."

The author is already 'sold' on the idea that clamping down on privacy is for your benefit and these methods are 'noble goals'.

Truth one: Anyone is a potential target:

"Because the bill leaves all definitions up to the committee, critics like Philip Giraldi worry that it will be used to target just about everyone who dislikes some aspect of government policy."

Assumption three:

"Writing for the left-leaning Huffington Post, Giraldi argues that the act "could easily be abused to define any group that is pressuring the political system as 'terrorist,' ranging from polygamists, to second amendment rights supporters, anti-abortion protesters, anti-tax agitators, immigration activists, and peace demonstrators. "

The author feels compelled to point out the Huffington post 'leans to the left' so of course the only truthful opinion presented in this article can be dismissed. They are liberals - they probably eat monkey poo too, so ignore them.

Assumption four:

"In reality, of course, it will be primarily directed against Muslims and Muslim organizations."

Will it? This is certainly not the reality you or I live in. This is just wishful thinking, based on no fact what so ever. Believe what they tell you obedient citizen. go back to sleep!
