DICTATORSHIP
Patriot Act 2 bypassing the
Constitution
New legislation states that non-allegiance to Bush is
equal to terrorism.
I am going to go on record by saying WHAT THE FUCK! Pardon my harsh language, but why is no one questioning this? I would stand up and challenge this to the full extent of my abilities...but I have a wife and kids, and if I get thrown in prison, they lose a husband and father. And with all the rhetoric being bandied about, my imprisonment might get shoved under the carpet...or..if challenged, those who challenge it will be incarcerated themselves!
Buried amongst the untold affronts to the Bill of Rights, the Constitution and the very spirit of America, the torture bill contains a definition of "wrongfully aiding the enemy" which labels all American citizens who breach their "allegiance" to President Bush and the actions of his government as terrorists subject to possible arrest, torture and conviction in front of a military tribunal.
After five hours of searching through the 80-plus page bill, Alex Jones, who won the 2004 Project Censored award for his analysis of Patriot Act 2, uncovered numerous other provisions and definitions that make the bill appear as almost a mirror image of Hitler's 1933 Enabling Act.
In section 950j. the bill criminalizes any challenge to the legislation's legality by the Supreme Court or any United States court. Alberto Gonzales has already threatened federal judges to shut up and not question Bush's authority on the torture of detainees.
"No court, justice, or judge shall have jurisdiction to hear or consider any claim or cause of action whatsoever, including any action pending on or filed after the date of the enactment of the Military Commissions Act of 2006, relating to the prosecution, trial, or judgment of a military commission under this chapter, including challenges to the lawfulness of procedures of military commissions under this chapter."
The Bush administration is preemptively overriding any challenge to the legislation by the Supreme Court.
This is history repeating itself.

This is history repeating itself.
IN the autumn of 68 B.C. the
world’s only military superpower was dealt a profound psychological blow
by a daring terrorist attack on its very heart. Rome’s port at Ostia was
set on fire, the consular war fleet destroyed, and two prominent senators,
together with their bodyguards and staff, kidnapped.
The incident, dramatic though it
was, has not attracted much attention from modern historians. But history is
mutable. An event that was merely a footnote five years ago has now, in our
post-9/11 world, assumed a fresh and ominous significance. For in the panicky
aftermath of the attack, the Roman people made decisions that set them on the
path to the destruction of their Constitution, their democracy and their
liberty. One cannot help wondering if history is repeating
itself.
...
By the oldest trick in the
political book — the whipping up of a panic, in which any dissenting voice
could be dismissed as “soft” or even “traitorous”
— powers had been ceded by the people that would never be returned. Pompey
stayed in the Middle East for six years, establishing puppet regimes throughout
the region, and turning himself into the richest man in the
empire.
Panic is being used to placate us...to make
us afraid and want the big federal government to protect us. That they need to
have more power to better protect us from all the evil in this world. That to
save most of our freedoms, we must give up just a few liberties here and there.
We don't need those anyway. And we can trust the Big Government folk to not
abuse their power, right? WRONG!
What happened to CHECKS AND BALANCES? That
wonderful part of the Constitution that ensured that one branch of the
government wouldn't be able to have too much power and abuse it? Checks and
balances were created to ensure AGAINST dictatorship...against monarchy. But
now, with this new Patriot Act 2, those checks and balances have been done away
with. Cast aside.
WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE? WHERE IS THE "LIBERAL
MEDIA" REPORTING ON THIS? Oh, wait...liberal media, owned by MAJOR corporations
who donated money to the Republicans and Bush....ahhhhhhh...
