Quote : | "New Orleans: A New World Order Showcase
Foreign troops, gun confiscation, jackbooted privatized fascism
Paul Joseph Watson & Alex Jones | September 15 2005
The media curtain has begun to fall on New Orleans but the questions continue. In hindsight we can see the whole fiasco for what it really was, a showcase for the suffering that some would like every American city to undergo.
The bottom line on Katrina is that whether you believe it was all incompetence or part incompetence and part malevolence, the lasting pretext is the same.
When a disaster takes place, you have no rights and the federal government can arrest you if you don’t follow their every order.
Mandatory evacuation and gun confiscation are the order of the day in the new federalized Amerika.
The local government officials initially lambasted the federal government but then showed fealty to them and praised their efforts, a confidence trick that led many Americans to believe that the fault was incompetence at the local level and that federal government takeover was the solution. " |

Both residents said search crews entered the harbor in inflatable boats with machine guns mounted on their bows. Then, carrying M-16 rifles, they approached residents and boarded and searched their boats in the name of safety and "homeland security."
One resident, who asked not to be identified for fear or retribution, said his experience was "very intimidating, very frightening."

By Jonathan Krim Washington Post Staff Writer Saturday, September 24, 2005; Page A03
Suspects arrested or detained by federal authorities could be forced to provide samples of their DNA that would be recorded in a central database under a provision of a Senate bill to expand government collection of personal data.
The controversial measure was approved by the Senate Judiciary Committee last week and is supported by the White House, but has not gone to the floor for a vote. It goes beyond current law, which allows federal authorities to collect and record samples of DNA only from those convicted of crimes. The data are stored in an FBI-maintained national registry that law enforcement officials use to aid investigations, by comparing DNA from criminals with evidence found at crime scenes." |

For years people refuted the evidence, or passed it off as being intended for something else, or simply refused to believe it. Now everything we warned you about is happening.
In the wake of the recent natural disasters on American soil, dangerous precedents have been set. We have been forced to watch how in times of crisis we must submit and follow the orders of Federal Commanders, no matter whether they deny us basic human rights or not.

WASHINGTON -- The United States needs a lean and focused counter-terrorism agency to fight threats both at home and abroad, a leading Democratic Party security expert and civil rights proponent told UPI in an interview.
"There is no value in restructuring the agencies. We need an anti-terror entity that functions both at home and abroad and takes that function from (both) the CIA and the FBI," Morton H.

Quote : | ""This also helps civil liberties. You give this new agency and no one else powers they need to fight this threat. And you give it vigorous oversight," he said.
Halperin also said that curtailment of civil liberties did not automatically make the fight against terror more effective. Often precisely the opposite was the case, he said.
"Dick Clark (Richard Clarke, the former counter-terrorism chief for both Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush) said that he never saw a limitation on civil liberties that would help you fight the terrorism threat. I believe that is true," Halperin said. "The problem comes if you put sacrificing civil liberties in front of the other fighting the terrorism."
Very often, giving police and domestic security services, a free hand to investigate or crack down on what should be legitimate public political activity only gave them an excuse to ignore the far more dangerous and clandestine operations of espionage organizations and terrorist groups, Halperin said.
"It's a lot easier to investigate lawful political activity than to infiltrate al-Qaida or other terrorist organizations," he said. "When you let law enforcement go after lawful political activity, genuine counter-terrorist operations suffer. It's a threat to effective law enforcement.

I guess the secret searches authorized by the Patriot Act "help civil liberties" too, right?
Reminds me of how forced psychological testing and drugging of children is "freedom." And bombing and killing 100,000+ Iraqis is "delivering freedom to them."

By Rev. Ted Pike 9-27-5 On Sept. 14, the US House of Representatives passed, 223-199, the ominous federal "anti-hate" bill, the Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act of 2005. It was inserted as AMDT.2662 into the Children's Safety Act. If approved unaltered by the senate judiciary, this legislation is ready for the President to sign into law. Here is a summary of what the bill would make law: Although AMDT.2662 ostensibly empowers the government to assist states in prosecution of violent hate crimes, its actual effect will be much more far-reaching. AMDT.2662 will lead to enforcement of the working definitions of "hate" and "hate crimes" which are enforced by the many "anti-hate" bureaucracies in countries throughout the western industrialized world. In such countries, it is now a "hate crime" to criticize members of federally protected groups such as Jews and homosexuals. Utilizing such definitions, "hate crime" indictments have been made or are currently being pursued by Canada, England, Sweden, Germany, Italy, Australia and New Zealand. AMDT.2662 builds a foundation for a "hate crimes" bureaucracy in America, also ending free speech." |

Click here for part one of this report
In the Aftermath of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita it has become obvious that not only will another terror attack on US soil provide the pretext for a police state crackdown, so will a natural disaster.
I'm not going to once again go over in depth the police state showcase that was New Orleans in the days after Katrina, but let us recap a few key points:
FEMA has been deliberately sabotaging relief efforts in New Orleans, making things worse than need be.
FEMA, its officials and the people it employs have a long history of incompetence, corruption, fraud and criminality.
The Federal Government has illegally initiated total gun confiscation of law abiding citizens and forcibly removed them from their property in New Orleans. Federal forces have led criminal gangs of police in an America-killing gun grab.
Along with forced gun grabs and evacuation, we have further exposed the intricacies of the operative federalized Police State, with the presence of foreign troops, SWAT teams, privately employed security mercenaries, the treatment of citizens as "insurgents" and evacuees as "internees" and the euthanization and inoculation of survivors.
The bottom line on Katrina is that whether you believe it was all incompetence or part incompetence and part malevolence, the lasting pretext is the same.

By Mark Mitchell SEPTEMBER 22, 2005
Ready or not, the time for the Real ID Act has arrived. What’s the Real ID Act and why should I care? In a nutshell, the Real ID Act, which was passed by both the House of Representatives and the Senate, and promptly signed into law by President Bush, is a federally-approved ID card that will basically be impossible to live without.
Beginning in 2008, if you live or work in the United States, you will need the ID to open a bank account, collect Social Security payments, travel on an airplane, drive, open a video rental account or use any government agency.
Practically speaking, your driver’s license will have to be reissued to meet federal standards. The Department of Homeland Security has the power to set these standards and determine if state driver’s licenses can be conformed to a Real ID, or if a new license is needed. The new IDs will require, at a minimum: name, sex, ID number, birth date, a digital photograph, and a common machine-readable technology that Homeland Security will decide on. In addition, Homeland Security is allowed to impose additional requirements such as fingerprints or a retinal scan. " |

Paul Joseph Watson | October 4 2005
During this afternoon's White House press conference President Bush confirmed that he would attempt to impose military curfews and quarantines in case of a flu pandemic occurring in the United States.
The comes on the heels of a majority of the nation's governors rejecting the Bush administration's proposal to use active-duty military assets in providing disaster relief. Understanding this in the context of Hurricane Katrina, this means total gun confiscation and enforced evacuation at gunpoint.
Bush stated, "If we had an outbreak somewhere in the United States, do we not then quarantine that part of the country, and how do you then enforce a quarantine? When -- it's one thing to shut down airplanes; it's another thing to prevent people from coming in to get exposed to the avian flu. And who best to be able to effect a quarantine? One option is the use of a military that's able to plan and move."" |
And don't rule out the government being the true cause behind any such "outbreak." For example, the anthrax mailed after 9/11 most likely came from the U.S. biodefense labs at Fort Detrick, Maryland.10/5/2005 8:10:19 AM |

By JENNIFER LOVEN, Associated Press Writer Tue Oct 4, 7:59 PM ET WASHINGTON - President Bush, stirring debate on the worrisome possibility of a bird flu pandemic, suggested dispatching American troops to enforce quarantines in any areas with outbreaks of the killer virus.
Bush asserted aggressive action could be needed to prevent a potentially crippling U.S. outbreak of a bird flu strain that is sweeping through Asian poultry and causing experts to fear it could become the next deadly pandemic. Citing concern that state and local authorities might be unable to contain and deal with such an outbreak, Bush asked Congress to give him the authority to call in the military.
The president has already indicated he wants to give the armed forces the lead responsibility for conducting search-and-rescue operations and sending in supplies after massive natural disasters and terrorist attacks — a notion that could require a change in law and that even some in the Pentagon have reacted to skeptically. The idea raised the startling-to-some image of soldiers cordoning off communities hit by disease." |

Quote : | "Bush military bird flu role slammed
Thursday, October 6, 2005
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A call by President George W. Bush for Congress to give him the power to use the military in law enforcement roles in the event of a bird flu pandemic has been criticized as akin to introducing martial law.
Bush said aggressive action would be needed to prevent a potentially disastrous U.S. outbreak of the disease that is sweeping through Asian poultry and which experts fear could mutate to pass between humans.
Such a deadly event would raise difficult questions, such as how a quarantine might be enforced, the president said.
"I'm concerned about what an avian flu outbreak could mean for the United States and the world," he told reporters during a Rose Garden news conference on Tuesday.
"One option is the use of a military that's able to plan and move," he said. "So that's why I put it on the table. I think it's an important debate for Congress to have."
The Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 bans the military from participating in police-type activity on U.S. soil.
But Dr. Irwin Redlener, associate dean of Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health and director of its National Center for Disaster Preparedness, told The Associated Press the president's suggestion was dangerous.
Giving the military a law enforcement role would be an "extraordinarily Draconian measure" that would be unnecessary if the nation had built the capability for rapid vaccine production, ensured a large supply of anti-virals like Tamiflu and not allowed the degradation of the public health system.
"The translation of this is martial law in the United States," Redlener said.
And Gene Healy, a senior editor at the conservative Cato Institute, said Bush would risk undermining "a fundamental principle of American law" by tinkering with the act, which does not hinder the military's ability to respond to a crisis." |

Selling a national ID card to a gullible and ignorant public...

All of these proposals dance around the central issue: It's time for a grown-up discussion about a national ID card in the United States.
In the modern era, there is a continuous need to establish that we are who we say we are. There is also a need to guard against others making false claims to be us.
After 9/11, there is also a security imperative to making sure that those who are here have a legal right to be here and are doing what they are legally entitled to do while here. If our immigration laws had been enforced, most of the hijackers either never would have gotten into the country or would have already left.
The United States already has the practical equivalent of a national ID card. Americans frequently have to show their driver's license or reveal their Social Security number to do a variety of things. But these documents were never intended to be a secure way of establishing one's identity and are, at present, easily forged or falsified. Hence the various proposals to make them more secure and informative.
But if it is important and necessary to be able to establish one's identity frequently, why not have a single document designed to do precisely that, and to do it well?" |
9/11! Terrorism! We need to make sure people are here legally! OK, force U.S. citizens to have a national ID card like they did in the Soviet Russia and Nazi Germany. ALL WHILE THE BORDER REMAINS WIDE OPEN.
Oh, yeah...let's don't forget about declaring martial law, having troops enforce quarantines, confiscate firearms, and patrol the streets. But, hell no, we can't put troops on the border to stop illegal immigration. Troops aren't for protecting the country from invaders. They're for engaging and policing U.S. citizens and confiscating their firearms.
Makes perfect sense to me. Welcome to police state AmeriKa.

Could proposed new intelligence-gathering powers for the Pentagon lead to spying on U.S. citizens? The question is being asked as the White House considers new roles for the military inside America's borders.
By Michael Isikoff and Mark Hosenball Newsweek Oct. 5, 2005
Oct. 5, 2005 - The Pentagon would be granted new powers to conduct undercover intelligence gathering inside the United States—and then withhold any information about it from the public—under a series of little noticed provisions now winding their way through Congress." |
Spying on U.S. citizens. Secret searches. Secret Arrests. Martial law. End of Posse Comitatus.

I forgot that the government was so truthful all the time.
So you really believe that the government is not spying on Americans just because this government scumbag says so?10/6/2005 2:55:12 PM |
