Gingrich Lies To Assault Free Speech Again
Unrepentant, arch Neo-Con crafts deceptive Ahmadinejad boogeyman
argument to con Americans into First Amendment regulation

Paul Joseph Watson
Prison Planet
Tuesday, December 5, 2006

Not content with last week's brazen attack on the First Amendment during
a speaking engagement in New Hampshire, Newt Gingrich has swung another
right hook in the direction of freedom of speech, by exploiting
non-existent statements and Neo-Con propaganda as a reason for shutting
down websites and gagging political dissent in America.

Unrepentant, the former Speaker of the House returns again to trash the
sanctity of the First Amendment, this time in an article for Neo-Con rag
Human Events.

Last week's diatribe in which Gingrich threatened Americans that if they
didn't curtail websites and restrict free speech they would "lose a
city," provoked a firestorm of reaction from bloggers and pundits alike.

Keith Olbermann devoted a section of his Countdown program to Gingrich's
abomination and commented "If you're going to destroy freedom of speech
Bub, you've already lost all the cities.", whilst comparing the speech
to the rhetoric of Nazi politicians in Germany in the 1930s.


(VIDEO)


Gingrich's latest attempt to chill dissent in America relies on
fraudulent claims and biased sources to present an argument that
terrorists are hiding behind the First Amendment in order to recruit for
jihad. It echoes similar rhetoric contained in the White House's own
strategy document for "winning the war on terror," which identifies
conspiracy theorists as terrorist wellsprings.

"We should be allowed to close down websites that recruit suicide
bombers and provide instructions to indiscriminately kill civilians by
suicide or other means, or advocate killing people from the West or the
destruction of Western civilization," writes Gingrich.

The problem with this superficially reasonable statement is that
Gingrich and his Neo-Fascist sympathizers classify any dissent against
the Bush administration as "aiding the enemy," "hating America," and
thus in effect calling for "the destruction of Western civilization,"
and won't hesitate to tar everyone with the same brush as we have seen
all too may times on Fox News in the past.

Indeed, in his own article Gingrich links Hezbollah to leftist and
anti-globalization political organizations, making it crystal clear who
he thinks should be shut down and shut up.

Gingrich cites Iranian President Ahmadinejad's letter last week as
another reason for erecting checkpoints around the First Amendment,
erroneously claiming he, "threatens to kill Americans in large numbers
if we don't submit to his demands."

Firstly, Gingrich is exploiting the words of an Iranian national who as
a non US citizen doesn't even have a First Amendment right, to attack
the foundation of freedom of speech in America. Whatever Ahmadinejad
chooses to say has no bearing on any debate about regulating free speech
in America. The media decides whether to carry his statements or not,
they are not forced into doing so by the terms of the First Amendment.
Would George W. Bush have any grounds for complaint under the First
Amendment if Iranian state TV refused to broadcast his speeches? No, and
yet Gingrich wastes no time in wagging the Ahmadinejad boogeyman
stereotype to try and convince Americans that their words should be
controlled.

Secondly, the claim that Ahmadinejad "threatens to kill Americans in
large numbers if we don't submit to his demands," is to be found nowhere
in the Iranian leader's letter. Gingrich has carte blanche invented this
supposition out of thin air as an excuse to craft his warped argument
that the First Amendment should not be a "suicide pact."

Go and read the letter for yourselves! At no point does Ahmadinejad in
any context "threaten to kill Americans in large numbers."


(IMAGE)


This fallacy is moored on an even less stable footing that the "wipe
Israel off the map" baloney, in which Ahmadinejad merely called for the
end of the barbarous political system of Zionism. It's from the same
school of lurid Neo-Con propaganda that brought you the wild-eyed
crystal ball prophecy that Ahmadinejad would initiate world war three or
the apocalypse on August 22nd.

The second prong of Gingrich's attack cites a report from the MEMRI
website which in turn highlights a supposed terrorist website that
promises "to use the Internet for the sake of jihad."

Besides the fact that on several occasions so-called terrorist
propaganda disseminated via the Internet has led back to the U.S.
government, including campaigns to boost profiles of terrorists such as
Musab Al-Zarqawi, who was the subject of a Pentagon psy-op aimed at "the
American home audience," MEMRI (Middle East Media Research Institute) is
a well known Israeli intelligence front.

Founded by former Israeli military intelligence officer Yigal Carmon and
Meyrav Wurmser, wife of the neo-con David Wurmser, MEMRI is notorious
for selectively quoting, taking out of context and distorting Muslim
news reports and editorials, having been the source for the vaunted
"wipe Israel off the map" lie.

A London Guardian investigation into MEMRI further highlighted the fact
that this shadowy organization is infested with Israeli military
intelligence veterans.

"Retrieving another now-deleted page from the archives of Memri's
website also throws up a list of its staff. Of the six people named,
three - including Col Carmon - are described as having worked for
Israeli intelligence," reported Brian Whitaker.

Whitaker details the website's link to Richard Perle and the numerous
instances in which MEMRI exercised "selective memory" in falsely
attributing statements, using sweeping generalizations and taking
information out of context in order to tar Muslim nations and cheerlead
for the Neo-Con war machine.

Gingrich is simply inflating already hyped Israeli military propaganda
to try and justify nixing dissent in America, fearmongering in the all
too familiar context of terrorist threats in order to scare Americans
into keeping quiet while leftists, anti-globalists, "conspiracy
theorists," and anyone who opposes the Neo-Con agenda has their website
deleted and their First Amendment right stolen.

Freedom to dissent is the lifeblood of any society with a modicum of
liberty. Wrapping his argument in a camouflage of fighting the phony war
on terror, Gingrich's real targets are those who are wise enough to
ignore all the chilling attempts on freedom of speech and exercise their
inalienable rights without recourse.

Under the terms of reference defined by the Founding Fathers, it is
people like Gingrich himself, not ghost terrorists in far-flung caves,
that are the real threat to the American way of life, and their creed of
tyrants rhetoric should be countered at every turn.

Leahy: Terror screening oversight a must

MICHAEL J. SNIFFEN
AP
Saturday, December 2, 2006

WASHINGTON - The incoming Senate Judiciary chairman pledged greater
scrutiny Friday of computerized government anti-terrorism screening
after learning that millions of Americans who travel internationally
have been assigned risk assessments over the last four years without
their knowledge.

"Data banks like this are overdue for oversight," said Sen. Patrick
Leahy (news, bio, voting record), D-Vt., who will take over Judiciary in
January. "That is going to change in the new Congress."

The Associated Press reported Thursday that millions of Americans and
foreigners crossing U.S. borders in the past four years have been
assessed by the computerized Automated Targeting System, or ATS,
designed to help pick out terrorists or criminals.

The travelers are not allowed to see or directly challenge these risk
assessments, which the government intends to keep on file for 40 years.
Under specific circumstances, some or all data in the system can be
shared with state, local and foreign governments and even some private
contractors.

"It is simply incredible that the Bush administration is willing to
share this sensitive information with foreign governments and even
private employers, while refusing to allow U.S. citizens to see or
challenge their own terror scores," Leahy said. This system "highlights
the danger of government use of technology to conduct widespread
surveillance of our daily lives without proper safeguards for privacy."

Sen. Susan Collins (news, bio, voting record), R-Maine, chairman of the
Senate Homeland Security Committee, said that while it is critical for
government to have the tools necessary to thwart terrorists, "we must
ensure that travelers privacy and civil liberties are appropriately
respected." t

The Homeland Security Department, which operates ATS, calls the system
critical to national security following the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist
attacks.

But privacy advocates were alarmed by it.

"Never before in American history has our government gotten into the
business of creating mass `risk assessment' ratings of its own
citizens," said Barry Steinhardt, a lawyer for the American Civil
Liberties Union. "We are stunned" the program has been undertaken "with
virtually no opportunity for the public to evaluate or comment on it."

Almost every person entering and leaving the United States by air, sea
or land is assessed based on ATS' analysis of their travel records and
other data, including items such as where they are from, how they paid
for tickets, their motor vehicle records, past one-way travel, seating
preference and what kind of meal they ordered.

The use of the program on travelers was quietly disclosed earlier this
month when the department put a notice detailing ATS in the Federal
Register, a fine-print compendium of federal rules. The few civil
liberties lawyers who had heard of ATS and even some law enforcement
officers said they had thought it was only used to screen cargo.

The Homeland Security Department called the program "one of the most
advanced targeting systems in the world" and said the nation's ability
to spot criminals and other security threats "would be critically
impaired without access to this data."

But to David Sobel, a lawyer at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a
group devoted to civil liberties in cyberspace: "It's probably the most
invasive system the government has yet deployed in terms of the number
of people affected."

Government officials could not say whether ATS has apprehended any
terrorists. Based on all the information available to them, federal
agents turn back about 45 foreign criminals a day at U.S. borders,
according to Homeland Security's Customs and Border Protection spokesman
Bill Anthony. He could not say how many were spotted by ATS.

Officials described how the system works: applying rules learned from
experience with the activities and characteristics of terrorists and
criminals to the traveler data. But they would not describe in detail
the format in which border agents see the results or in which the
databases store the results of the ATS risk assessments.

Acting Assistant Homeland Security Secretary Paul Rosenzweig told
reporters Friday they could call it scoring. "It can be reduced to a
number," he said, but he clearly preferred the longer descriptions.

Steinhardt said the ATS was more far-reaching than the department's
trouble-plagued efforts to develop a computerized screening system for
domestic air travelers.

That data-mining project — now known as Secure Flight — caused a furor
two years ago in Congress. Lawmakers barred its implementation until it
can pass 10 tests for accuracy and privacy protection.

In comments to the government about ATS, Sobel said, "Some individuals
will be denied the right to travel and many the right to travel free of
unwarranted interference."

Sobel said in the interview that the government notice also raises the
possibility that faulty risk assessments could cost innocent people jobs
in shipping or travel, government contracts, licenses or other benefits.

The government notice says some or all of the ATS data about an
individual may be shared with state, local and foreign governments for
use in hiring decisions and in granting licenses, security clearances,
contracts or other benefits. In some cases, the data may be shared with
courts, Congress and even private contractors.

"Everybody else can see it, but you can't," Stephen Yale-Loehr, an
immigration lawyer who teaches at Cornell Law school, said in an
interview.

But Jayson P. Ahern, an assistant commissioner of Customs and Border
Protection, said the ATS ratings simply allow agents at the border to
pick out people not previously identified by law enforcement as
potential terrorists or criminals and send them for additional searches
and interviews.

"It does not replace the judgments of officers" in reaching a final
decision about a traveler, Ahern said in an interview Thursday.

This targeting system goes beyond traditional watch lists, Ahern said.
Border agents compare arrival names with watch lists separately from the
ATS analysis.

In a privacy impact assessment posted on its Web site this week,
Homeland Security said ATS is aimed at discovering high-risk individuals
who "may not have been previously associated with a law enforcement
action or otherwise be noted as a person of concern to law enforcement."

Ahern said ATS does this by applying rules derived from the government's
knowledge of terrorists and criminals to the passenger's travel records.

Ahern declined to disclose any of the rules, but a Homeland Security
document on data-mining gave this innocuous example of a risk assessment
rule: "If an individual sponsors more than one fiancee for immigration
at the same time, there is likelihood of immigration fraud."

Ahern said ATS was first used to rate the risk posed by travelers in the
late 1990s, using personal information about them voluntarily supplied
by air and cruise lines.

A post-9/11 law vastly expanded the program, he said. It required
airline and cruise companies to begin in 2002 sending the government
electronic data in advance on all passengers and crew bound into or out
of the country. All these names are put through ATS analysis, Ahern
said. In addition, at land border crossings, agents enter license plates
and the names of vehicle drivers and passengers, and Amtrak voluntarily
supplies passenger data on its trains to and from Canada, he said.

Newt World Order
Bush and co paving the way for power mad freaks like Gingrich

Steve Watson
Infowars.net
Thursday, November 30, 2006

Newt Gingrich's latest attack on the First Amendment is a revealing
insight into the long term agenda of elite minds in America today. Those
who would be successors to the Bush Administration are even more bent on
power and dominance and they see absolutely no place for the freedoms
America was founded on to continue to exist under their leadership.

At a dinner honouring the sanctity of the First Amendment this week,
Newt Gingrich stood up and gave a talk about restricting freedom of
speech.

Gingrich stated:

"My Prediction to you is that either before we lose a city or, if we are
truly stupid, after we lose a city, we will adopt rules of engagement
that use every technology that we can find to break up their capacity to
use the internet, to break up their capacity to use free speech, and to
go after people who want to kill us to stop them recruiting people
before they get to reach out and convince young people to destroy their
lives while destroying us."

"I want to suggest to you right now that we should empanelling people to
look seriously at a level of supervision that we would never dream of if
it were not for the scale of this threat. This is a serious long term
war and it will lead us to want to know what is said in every suspect
place in the country, it will lead to us to learn how to close down
every website that is dangerous."

“We should propose a Geneva Convention for fighting terrorism, which
makes very clear that those who would fight outside the rules of law,
those who would use weapons of mass destruction, and those who would
target civilians are, in fact, subject to a totally different set of
rules that allow us to protect civilization by defeating barbarism
before it gains so much strength that it is truly horrendous.”
Keith Olbermann devoted a section of his Countdown program to Gingrich's
abomination and commented "If you're going to destroy freedom of speech
Bub, you've already lost all the cities.", whilst comparing the speech
to the rhetoric of Nazi politicians in Germany in the 1930s.


(VIDEO)


George Washington University Law Professor and Constitutional Law Expert
Jonathan Turley joined Olbermann and warned:

"This could actually happen, the first Amendment is an abstraction and
when you put up against it the idea of incinerating millions of people,
there will be millions of citizens that respond, like some Pavlovian
response, and deliver up rights, we've already seen that. People don't
seem to appreciate that you really can't save a constitution by
destroying it."
This is not some crackpot peddling a nonsense idea that we should simply
laugh off, this is the former speaker of the House who is also gearing
up for a 2008 Presidential run. Turley continued:

"What you see here I think is the insatiable appetite that has developed
amongst certain leaders for controlling American society. We saw that
with John Ashcroft not long after 9/11 when he said that critics were
aiding and abetting terrorists. There is this insatiable appetite that
develops when you feed absolute power to people like Gingrich. And
people should not assume that these are going to just be fringe
candidates in this will never happen. Fear does amazing things to people
and it can cause a sort of self mutilation in a democracy where we give
up the very things, the very rights that define us and theoretically the
very things that we are defending."

Gingrich served as a Member of Congress for 20 years and as Speaker of
the U.S. House of Representatives from 1995-1999. His "Contract with
America" was sold to the nation as a remedy for big government,
committed to shrinking the size and cost of government. But instead the
Contract called for the exact opposite: balance the budget with a
loophole-filled amendment that would reflect ill of the Constitution
instead of Congress; expand NATO; deliver more crime control power to
the federal government; federalize a host of laws dealing with children;
etc.


(IMAGE)


In addition Gingrich is a member of the Senior Advisory Board of the
United States Commission on National Security/21st Century that has
produced a series of reports that document the agenda for national
security challenges as far out as 2025.

So essentially when he says he "predicts" the evisceration of the First
Amendment, he is quoting actual government strategy for the next twenty
years.

Gingrich, a regular attendee of the annual Summer camp at the Bohemian
Grove, and long term CFR member, has previously openly referred to
anyone who oppose Bush-Republican Neo-Conservative madness as being part
of an "insurgency"

Gingrich also stated recently that "It's not an insult[ ]" to compare
Bush administration critics "to those who enabled Hitler"

Open and truly democratic governments don't view their political
opponents as "enemies" whose opposition is looked upon as an
"insurgency", and they certainly don't feel a need to be at war with the
people they govern. For Gingrich, and the entire Neo-Conservative
movement; however, the reality is that the American people are
increasingly questioning their "right to rule" and are, therefore,
considered enemies or, as Newt Gingrich more aptly said, an
"insurgency".

Gingrich has also previously said the third world war has already begun
and that the United States must do everything in its power to bring
about regime change in Iran, even if it means invading that nation.

"This is 1935 and [Iranian president] Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is as close to
Adolf Hitler as we’ve seen. We now know who they are -- the question is
who we are. Are we Baldwin or Churchill?" Gingrich said, noting that
Churchill recognized the danger from Nazi Germany and urged that Britain
prepare to meet it.
No Newt, this is 2006 and YOU are the closest thing to Adolf Hitler
we've seen.

Gingrich went on to state that Tehran could be planning for a preemptive
nuclear electromagnetic pulse attack on America that would turn a third
or more of the country "back to a 19th century level of development."

He said the "extraordinary challenge that the current regime in Iran
poses to the safety of the United States" requires "extraordinary
measures to meet it."

The idea that Iran has nuclear electromagnetic pulse weapons is utterly
ludicrous. In Fact the CIA has concluded that there is absolutely no
evidence that Iran has any form of hostile nuclear weapons program. The
level to which this traitor is twisting reality to fit his own crazy
notion of the way the world operates is indicative of the Straussian
global outlook that we have come to see so clearly adopted by the so
called neoconservative movement.

Like Plato, Strauss taught that within societies, "some are fit to lead,
and others to be led", according to Shadia Drury, author of 1999's Leo
Strauss and the American Right. But, unlike Plato, who believed that
leaders had to be people with such high moral standards that they could
resist the temptations of power, Strauss thought that "those who are fit
to rule are those who realize there is no morality and that there is
only one natural right, the right of the superior to rule over the
inferior".

We have previously exposed how many major influences on the Bush
Administration and leading Neoconservative think tanks are followers of
Strauss. In addition to Gingrich himself, former Deputy Defense
Secretary Paul Wolfowitz, Weekly Standard chief editor William Kristol,
His father Irving, and Gary Schmitt, founder, chairman and director of
the Project for the New American Century (PNAC).

Leo Strauss was also a strong believer in the "Realism" form of
International Relations made prominent by Thomas Hobbes. Like Hobbes, he
thought that human nature was intrinsically aggressive and could be
restrained only through a State formed via a powerful military
industrial complex . "Because mankind is intrinsically wicked, he has to
be governed," he once wrote. "Such governance can only be established,
however, when men are united - and they can only be united against other
people."

"Strauss thinks that a political order can be stable only if it is
united by an external threat," Drury wrote in her book. "Following
Machiavelli, he maintains that if no external threat exists, then one
has to be manufactured. This is what Henry Kissinger was referring to in
that often quoted statement he made about creating external future
threats in order to guard the world order he wishes to see become more
prevalent and powerful, the system we often refer to as the "New World
Order". Thus for the Neocons, when the Soviet Empire weakened and a
Unipolar world order was emerging, a new threat had to be there lurking
to allow them to further their Straussian vision.


(IMAGE)


"In Strauss' view, you have to fight all the time [to survive]," said
Drury. "In that respect, it's very Spartan. Peace leads to decadence.
Perpetual war, not perpetual peace, is what Straussians believe in."
Such views naturally lead to an "aggressive, belligerent policy", she
added.

The Bush administration is paving the way for even more authoritarian
minds to take over the higher echelons of leadership in America. They
are, whether wittingly or unwittingly, putting into place the tools that
would be dictators know they can use to eviscerate freedom and seize
power.

The Patriot Act and the Military Commissions Act and prime examples of
such legislation. Whilst Bush's Homeland Security goes after the toy
store owners and topless bar managers, a Gingrich Administration would
look toward shutting down the entire blogosphere for engaging in
critical debate.

As Keith Olbermann comments, "When you talk about closing down internet
sites, who is the one who is going to decide which those are?"

The Neoconservatives currently occupying the White House are puppies
compared with the ones that want to occupy it. Bush, Cheney, Rice,
Bolton etc are converts to the Neoconservative vision. More than
anything they have embraced Neoconservativism because its philosophy
fits neatly with their goal for corporate plundering and unquestionable
power. It is debatable whether they truly buy into neoconservativism or
are simply using it as a tool.

The true students of the movement are the Newt Gingrich's of this world.
The "Internationalists" that make up the Council On Foreign Relations
and the Trilateral Commission. These people truly believe that the
American people do not have the capacity to self govern and that they
need to be deceived into believing they are free when in actual fact
they are ruled over with an iron fist.

Dollar Fall Is Catalyst For Predatory Global Government

Americans remain ignorant to 35% devaluation of their bank savings as
skids are greased for introduction of Amero, North American Union

Paul Joseph Watson & Alex Jones
Prison Planet
Friday, December 1, 2006

As the dollar goes into free fall and the housing market accelerates in
sales yet plunges in price, the quickening of an agenda of economic
catastrophe allied to the "solution" of predatory globalism and the
creation of a North American Union is afoot, and it spells potential
disaster for the livelihood of all Americans.

Home prices have dropped 24% in the last year and most of that fall has
happened in the last six months. The dollar has devalued around 35%
against its level six years ago and is being trounced by the Euro and
Sterling.

A false impression of a rosy economy is being spun with the rise of the
stock market. Former fed chief Alan Greenspan's doubling of the money
supply and Bernanke's promise that the money supply will be doubled
again leads to only one outcome. Common sense tells us that a dollar
sink is inevitable and if the housing market isn't the place to put all
these devalued dollars then that excess will chase the stock market.
Taking into consideration the devalued dollar, the stock market is
really at about 6,000 - not 12,000.

All the real indices of financial health tell us that the economy is in
the toilet.

Treasury Secretary Snow and others have publicly stated their desire for
a weak dollar, sending the foreign lenders who have been propping up the
greenback, particularly Japan and China, heading for the hills and
dumping the dollar.

The catalyst for this was comments made in November 2004 by Snow, when
he told a seminar in London that, "The history of efforts to impose
nonmarket valuations on currencies is at best unrewarding and
checkered." The Japan Times reported that on the back of this statement,
Tokyo traders began dumping the greenback and have continued ever since,
leading to a situation today where the dollar recently fell to its
lowest value in the world market in 15 years.

The excuse that a weak dollar should be privately encouraged to reduce
trade and fiscal deficits is continually debunked by the fact that
deficits with Japan and China reached all time highs - more than $200
billion with China in 2005 exactly a year after Snow's comments and
continue to rise further this year.


(IMAGE)


Chieftains of industry and government like Dick Cheney, Bill Gates and
Warren Buffet are trying to creep towards the door in their sell-off of
the dollar because they hold so much greenback and wish to quietly cash
out. That process is now accelerating and it now appears a mad scramble
for the door is about to ensue, to the cost of hundreds of millions of
American citizens who remain completely ignorant to the fact that their
bank account savings have lost 35% of their value just sitting there
since 2001.

Talking heads and controlled media continue to assure Americans that the
economy is booming and there's little to worry about. No doubt the
dollar will rebound a little in a few weeks and they'll show a
short-term graph of its steady climb over the past month, failing to
display comparison charts going back six years which show the greenback
heading straight down.

Establishment mouthpieces tell viewers to go back to sleep while former
World Bank chief economist and nobel prize winner Joseph Stiglitz
predicts a global crash - caused by the very predatory globalist
policies of the IMF and World Bank that are still presented to us as the
solution for economic turmoil.

A global crash and a totally devalued dollar that can barely rival the
peso spells disaster for all Americans who wish to maintain their
standard of living and not find themselves barefoot on the street in a
bread queue.

But fear not, because the very predatory globalism that caused all this
calamity in the first place has yet another answer to our prayers! It's
the Amero, the North American currency that will unify the States,
Mexico and Canada and its latest cheerleader is influential London
investment firm VP Steve Previs.

The Amero would offer a nice umbrella under which to force through the
Free Trade Area of the Americas and a North American Union, an eternal
dream of the Rockefeller elite clique that is seeking to erect a one
world government system by first aping the European Union in creating a
single currency and trading bloc, again to the devastation of middle
class America but to the delight of transnational corporations who can
exploit cheap labor while putting millions of Americans out of a job.

The fed and the plunge protection team are not going to rescue the
situation. Gold and silver continue to remain stable and steadily
growing assets and we encourage all our readers to build a sizable
portfolio in order to offset the coming meltdown that the cavalier and
dangerous financial policies of the U.S. government, along with the
ceaseless march towards global government, will inevitably engender.

Endemic: The Move To Label All Civil Disobedience "Terrorism"
Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act makes peaceful protesters terrorists

Steve Watson
Infowars.net
Friday, December 1, 2006

An endemic crackdown on peaceful protest and dissent has continued with
President Bush signing the 'Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act,'. Under the
guise of protecting researchers, scientists and their staff who conduct
experiments and tests on animals, the latest terror bill seeks to class
as "terrorists" those who seek to protest against such activities.

The bill expands criminal prohibitions against the use of force,
violence, and threats involving animal enterprises and increases
penalties for violations of these prohibitions. The operative term being
"threats", because what an activist may see as protesting may be
construed under the law to be threatening.

The Senate passed the bill by unanimous consent in September, just prior
to the Congressional recess. A similar bill, H.R. 4239, was approved by
the House of Representatives this month.

"It's depressing to know that, just because of our beliefs involving
animals, we are going to be branded terrorists if we protest," said Lori
Nitzel, a Madison attorney and executive director of Alliance for
Animals, a statewide group that pledges nonviolence.

Nitzel wonders if even the kind of leafleting the group did Friday near
a Madison fur store could be construed as illegal. The bill can impose
punishment if an animal enterprise suffers "economic damage."

"We are, in fact, hoping to cause economic damage to the store," Nitzel
said.

One report states that backers of the bill say opponents are trying to
alarm people with wacky what-ifs. Unfortunately with the government's
track record, with any piece of legislation like this you have to ask
"what if?".

Without getting into a debate about animal testing itself, the real
issue of concern here is the term "terrorism". The push to merge crime
and terrorism laws can be no clearer than in this case.

What happens if down the line terrorism legislation begins to be
combined? Suddenly you end up with a number of animal rights
"terrorists" who can be labeled as enemy combatants and detained without
trial.

The more crimes that become "terrorism", the more people you can label
as terrorists and treat in the same way. Every time a piece of
legislation like this becomes law, the more the Bill of rights is eroded
and free speech is restricted.

"The frightening thing for me is that it heavily criminalizes civil
disobedience, and just for animal rights activists," Lori Nitzel says.
Nitzel is right, however, there are plenty more moves afoot to
criminalize other forms of civil disobedience.

We have previously documented cases where those who attend antiwar
demonstrations or Quaker meetings have been monitored and placed on a
Pentagon database as possible threats. Think about that for a minute,
the military is monitoring peaceful US citizens who do not agree with
illegal warfare and placing them on a list of possible enemies.

We have previously reported multiple times on how the intelligence and
law enforcement agencies have "domestic-terrorism files" into which
peaceful protesters have been placed. These are not isolated incidents.

The precedent is set, if you protest you go on the subversive list and
you'll be first into the forced labor camps when a city or two gets
nuked.

Of course, we have known for a long time that The renewed and extended
Patriot Act will target protesters and allow secret services a wider
latitude at public events. Penalties for such violations would increase
from six months to a year in prison.

The Patriot Act as we have exhaustively documented is the key police
state weapon the authorities have in their armory. The party line often
heard from Neo-Cons in their attempts to defend the Patriot Act either
circulate around the contention that the use of the Patriot Act has
never been abused or that it isn't being used against American citizens.
The Legislation's reach HAS gone beyond terrorism and it IS actively
being used to target American citizens.

The most recent example of a U.S. citizen being targeted using terror
legislation involved BBC investigative journalist Greg Palast, who was
pursued by Homeland Security and charged with unauthorized filming of a
“critical national security structure,” (an Exxon Oil refinery that was
readily available to anyone with an Internet connection at Google Maps),
under PATRIOT Act legislation. The charge was later dropped after an
activist outcry.

Remember, section 802 is specifically aimed at US citizens and announces
any crime as "domestic terrorism". Citizens can be held without a trial
as "Enemy Combatants"

The Washington Post recently reported "The Bush administration is
developing a parallel legal system in which terrorism suspects -- U.S.
citizens and noncitizens alike -- may be investigated, jailed,
interrogated, tried and punished without legal protections guaranteed by
the ordinary system, lawyers inside and outside the government say."

Also under the Patriot Act police are authorized to impose "Free Speech
Zones".

Top legal experts and scholars are nearly unanimous that the Military
Commissions Act, another piece of Constitution shredding terror
legislation, also affects American citizens.

Yale Law Professor Bruce Ackerman states in the L.A. Times, "The
compromise legislation....authorizes the president to seize American
citizens as enemy combatants, even if they have never left the United
States. And once thrown into military prison, they cannot expect a trial
by their peers or any other of the normal protections of the Bill of
Rights."

The endemic movement to kill off free speech has spread to Britain too.
Free Speech Zones were also introduced in Britain last year, making it
illegal to protest outside parliament. The new draconian laws forbid
spontaneous free speech within a one-kilometre radius of the House of
Commons.

Last year the Scotland Sunday Herald reported that the British
Government was considering just banning protest altogether after a major
terror attack and making it against the law to criticize the government
in a State of emergency.

Both Britain and Australia also have domestic surveillance databases
that gather the information of anyone who criticizes them or who they
consider to be subversive

Everywhere we look the First Amendment is under attack. It seems that
legislation is being passed daily, each bill tearing away at fundamental
rights and condemning another form of protest as terrorism. It has got
to the point for the government where what is being protested is less of
an issue than the act of protest itself which they clearly see as the
real threat

Well.. I would buy "Precious Metals & Gold Currency!" would be a great
start since precious metals have more value over the dollar.

Phoenix Airport to Test X-Ray Screening

AP
Friday, December 1, 2006

Sky Harbor International Airport here will test a new federal screening
system that takes X-rays of passenger's bodies to detect concealed
explosives and other weapons.

The technology, called backscatter, has been around for several years
but has not been widely used in the U.S. as an anti-terrorism tool
because of privacy concerns.

The Transportation Security Administration said it has found a way to
refine the machine's images so that the normally graphic pictures can be
blurred in certain areas while still being effective in detecting bombs
and other threats.

The agency is expected to provide more information about the technology
later this month but said one machine will be up and running at Sky
Harbor's Terminal 4 by Christmas.

The security agency's Web site indicates that the technology will be
used initially as a secondary screening measure, meaning that only those
passengers who first fail the standard screening process will be
directed to the X-ray area.

Even then, passengers will have the option of choosing the backscatter
or a traditional pat-down search.

A handful of other U.S. airports will have the X-rays machines in place
by early 2007 as part of a nationwide pilot program, TSA officials said.

The technology already is being used in prisons and by drug enforcement
agents, and has been tested at London's Heathrow Airport.

The security agency says the machines will be effective in helping
detect plastic or liquid explosives and other non-metallic weapons that
can be missed by standard metal detectors.

Some say the high-resolution images - which clearly depict the outline
of the passenger's body, plus anything attached to it, such as jewelry -
are too invasive.

But the TSA said the X-rays will be set up so that the image can be
viewed only by a security officer in a remote location. Other
passengers, and even the agent at the checkpoint, will not have access
to the picture.

In addition, the system will be configured so that the X-ray will be
deleted as soon as the individual steps away from the machine. It will
not be stored or available for printing or transmitting, agency
spokesman Nico Melendez said.

They will FAIL if they try to pull this crap. We the people will NOT
stand for this non-sense and bologne.

I SAY.... "DOWN WITH INTERNET 2 BABY!!"

Power to the people and Power to The Resistance..
