USA PATRIOT Act (HR 3162)
Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001
Passed: 10/26/2003
Full text, Wikipedia
Sunset/Reauthorizations. Many provisions of the Patriot Act were set to expire in 2005, however most of them were reauthorized by USA PATRIOT and Terrorism Prevention Reauthorization Act of 2005 and USA PATRIOT Act Additional Reauthorizing Amendments Act of 2006. Wikipedia
Domestic Security Enhancement Act of 2003 (sometimes called Patriot II). This bill would have dwarfed the significant powers of the first patriot act and actually passed the House in congress before it was rejected by the Senate. Wikipedia, EFF.org, Infowars.com
No one read the bill before they voted for it. Congressman Jim McDermott alleging that no Senator read the bill[190] and John Conyers, Jr. as saying "We don't really read most of the bills. Do you know what that would entail if we read every bill that we passed?" Congressman Conyers then answers his own rhetorical question, asserting that if they did it would "slow down the legislative process" Wikipedia. John Ashcroft told the house and Senate Judiciary committee that the Patriot Act was so important that they didn't have time to read the statute before they could vote on it. The House was given 15 minutes on the Intranet to read the 315 page act which has multiple references to the U.S. Criminal Code. There was no debate before the vote. Ron Paul, Judge Andrew Napalitano

Section 215: Warrantless wiretapping, spying and confiscation of property of U.S. citizens. Citizens do not have to be notified and are prohibited from revealing that they are or ever have been under investigation without becoming a "criminal" even to a judge in a Federal court. All lawsuits against the Justice Department are anonymous lawsuits because they cannot reveal that they have been investigated. The books you buy or borrow, the web sites you visit, your phone calls, medical records and everything else which can be associated with anyone is subject to search and seizure.

200 passengers have been convicted of felonies under the Patriot Act for raised voices, profanity, spanking their children or kissing. Equating these people to Al Qaeda terrorists. LA Times.
AT&T Room 641A Fulsome Street, San Francisco. AT&T whistleblower Mark Klein reveals NSA has a secret room in which they direct tap into all phone, email, and internet traffic using splitters to capture a duplicate of every fiber optic signal going through that facility. The traffic at this facility is not limited to AT&T customers but virtually every internet and telecommunications company and virtually all web traffic and email in the US and some international. YouTube.
ACLU Dissection of Section 215
Before the PATRIOT Act, the FBI could only obtain records. Now the FBI has the authority to obtain “any tangible thing.” (215.a.1)
People who are not U.S. citizens or permanent residents can be investigated solely because of their First Amendment activity – e.g., because they wrote a letter to the editor criticizing government policy, or because they participated in a particular political rally. U.S. citizens and permanent residents can be investigated in part on the basis of their First Amendment activity. (215.a.1)
Applications for Section 215 orders are ordinarily heard by judges of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court. (215.b.1.A)
Judges of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court have little authority to scrutinize or reject FBI surveillance applications. If the FBI specifies that – in its own opinion – Section 215’s requirements are met, the judge must grant the surveillance order. (215.b.2, 215.c.1)
The FBI need not show “probable cause” or any reason at all to believe that the target of the surveillance order is engaged in criminal or terrorist activity. All the FBI needs to do is “specify” that the records are “sought for” an authorized investigation. The surveillance target may be completely innocent. (215.b.2)
Those who are ordered to turn over their records (or “tangible things”) are prohibited from mentioning to anyone else that the FBI made the demand. (215.d)
Section 215 also violates the First Amendment by preventing those served with Section 215 orders from ever telling anyone that the FBI demanded information, even if the information is not tied to a particular suspect and poses no risk to national security. (Unpatriotic Acts)
Government Deception
FBI spokespeople have repeatedly asserted, for example, that Section 215 cannot be used to obtain information about United States citizens. Here’s just one of many examples: “This is limited only to foreign intelligence,” said Mark Corallo, a spokesman with the Department of Justice. “U.S. citizens cannot be investigated under this act.” (Florida Today, Sept. 23, 2002) In fact, Section 215 explicitly states that United States citizens and permanent residents can be targeted under the provision – on condition that they not be targeted solely because of activity that is protected by the First Amendment. (Unpatriotic Acts)
The Justice Department spokesman, Mark Corallo, says the assertions about the Act are completely wrong because, for the FBI to check on a citizen’s reading habits, it must get a search warrant. And to get a warrant, it must convince a judge “there is probable cause that the person you are seeking the information for is a terrorist or a foreign spy.” (Bangor [ME] Daily News, April 9, 2003) In fact, Section 215 does not require the FBI to show probable cause. All the FBI has to do in order to invoke the provision is specify that the records are “sought for” an ongoing investigation. (Unpatriotic Acts)
[Field offices] may continue to request business records…through FBIHQ in the established manner. However, such requests may now seek production of any relevant information, and need only contain information establishing such relevance. (Oct. 26, 2001 memo to “All Divisions” from the FBI’s Office of General Counsel (and approved by FBI Director Robert S. Mueller III) includes a section on “Changes in FISA Business Records Authority.”)
Justice Department spokesman Mark Corallo called [librarians’ opposition to the PATRIOT Act] “absurd.” The legislation “doesn’t apply to the average American,” he said. “It’s only for people who are spying or members of a terrorist organization.” (Journal News [NY], April 13, 2003)
Before demanding records from a library or bookstore under the PATRIOT Act, he [Corallo] said, “one has to convince a judge that the person for whom you’re seeking a warrant is a spy or a member of a terrorist organization.” (San Francisco Chronicle, March 10, 2003)
Perfect examples of Orwellian doublespeak.
Pontification
One of the effects of this kind of immoral violation is that the less courageous citizens will be afraid to speak their minds. Public discourse will continue to become an inane babble of government approved speech. Those who have the courage to continue to speak up against government usurpations can be easily labeled as extremist and enemy combatants.
We commonly hear that terrorists attacked us because they hate freedom. If that's true then why are we giving up our freedom? If that's true then they'll soon no longer have a reason to attack us.
Most Americans trust that their leaders have good intentions at heart. This flies if the face of several thousand years of history and the very reason the Constitution was formed. Somehow Americans have been persuaded to believe their country's government is good and noble and if there are blunders they are not intentional. Somehow they have forgotten or never learned the lessons in history which universally shows that men in power almost always abuse that power. If it doesn't affect us personally, if we're still able to go to parties, to church, to work, to restaurants we believe that we are free. The true patriots who founded America understood that it was immoral to be apathetic to government intrusions of their Natural rights. They who were worthy of the music "land of the free and the home of the brave" stood for much less from their own government.
"'Give me your freedom and I'll keep you safe' has never worked." Judge Andrew Napalitano
“The concentrating of these [legislative, executive, and judicial] in the same hands, is precisely the definition of despotic government.” (Thomas Jefferson, quoted by James Madison Federalist Papers, No. 48. February 1, 1788.) Legislative power continues to accumulate in the executive branch who can make signing statements saying they do not feel bound by the law they are signing and through executive orders which are followed as law. Judicial power is granted to the executive through the use of self-written "warrants", denying access to legal counsel and denying them the power to appeal.
History abundantly documents the tendency of Government – however benevolent and benign its motives – to view with suspicion those who most fervently dispute its policies. Fourth Amendment protections become the more necessary when the targets of official surveillance may be those suspected of unorthodoxy in their political beliefs. (United States v. U.S. District Court, 407 U.S. 297, 1972)

Is Glenn Beck a Judas Goat?
Glenn Beck: “One of the groups that I've been warning about for a very long time are these 9/11 Truthers. The information we have at this point is that this guy [James Von Brunn] is a hero of the 9/11 Truthers....These are people that — I mean it's totally fine to speak out against the Fed, but these are wacked out conspiracy, the government had planned 9/11, the Jews were involved etc., etc., and from what we've seen in early reports — this guy is being held up as — they liked him because he'll actually do something about it.” Guest "Mike" says their crazy hate doesn't know any bounds, compares to James Von Brunn, Muslim extremists shooting the military and shooting abortion doctors. They serve to fuel psychopath's minds. Says they were happy that 9/11 happened and celebrated with Muslims. Fox News
Glenn Beck: “Those people who would like to destroy us — our enemies like Al Qaeda. They’d like to destroy us, and they will work with anyone. There are also people like white supremacists or 9/11 truthers that would also like to destroy the country. They’ll work with anybody they can.” Fox News
Glenn Beck: Truthers are idiots, dumb, dangerous, anarchists and worse. Want to rock the nation's foundation and tear us apart. The kind of group a Timothy McVeigh would come from. CNN
Glenn Beck: Ron Paul supporters are terrorists and the military who "defend the constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic" should be used on them. They honor Timothy McVeigh. David Horowitz: Libertarian Lew Rockwell is in bed with Islamo-Fascists. CNN
Glenn Beck: “You know it took me about a year to start hating the 9/11 victim's families. It took me about a year....When I see a 9/11 victim family on television, I'm just like ‘Oh shut up!’ because they're always complaining....But the second thought I had about these people, and they had to shut down the Astrodome, and lock it down, I thought I didn't think I could hate victims faster than I hate the 9/11 victims.” The 9/11 families are like the scum who stayed in New Orleans during Katrina and are now complaining about it. Fox News / Radio Show
“Easy does it, that's it come along now. I'm the real patriot.”

Waking up homeless on the land our fathers occupied
On September 26th, Bloomberg reported the first banker bailout would reach 5 trillion dollars. Bloomberg has been steadily increasing that figure from more recently reported the bailout will reach 12.8 trillion. 12.8 trillion is essentially the amount of money that the entire country produces (GDP) in a year. Unbelievably enormous sums of money are flowing from the taxpayer into the hands of international and foreign banks.
What are the mass of the American people worried about? Socialism? CEO Bonuses? Government giving a few billion to GM, or firing their officers?
We are not socialist nor are we on the road to it. Socialism is a fraud that says government takes money and redistributes it to the people. Socialism never exists; it is a sweet sounding front for a small group of private interests putting their people in power in government. These governmental puppets then implement the plans of those who put them in power. This is called Fascism or more accurately, Corporatism.
If we were socialists, and our problem was really sub-prime mortgages, then we would have taken 780 billion dollars and paid off 90% of American’s mortgages and our problem would have been solved. I pray that we had socialism instead of what we do have. I am not a socialist, but it would be several degrees of magnitude better than what we have.
Unfortunately the problems of this small group of private interests would not have been solved. 12.8 trillion is a tiny drop in the bucket compared to the havoc that they have wreaked. These institutions have been leveraging prices on the stock market with “exotic financial instruments” called derivatives. They can drive prices up or down according to their desire by placing bets on the future prices of stocks. This practice was illegal until the repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act in 1999. These manipulative transactions have totaled up to 1.5 quadrillion dollars, that’s a black-hole big enough to swallow the combined value of all the assets on planet earth 10 times!
Taking the foregoing into consideration, we conservatives, constitutionalists, free-market capitalists, or whatever; see homes foreclosed and say confidently to ourselves, “justice has been done.” The local police drag people out of their homes, sometimes brutalizing them and think to themselves “I’m important, and these people are deadbeats.” Think again for a minute, I beg you, those of you who think this is the free-market at work. Who is foreclosing on these homes? Who are the police working for? These homes are being foreclosed, most of them, by the same banks and financiers that have looted the public treasury to fund their global gambling addiction. Look at who is funding the campaigns of the politicians, look at who is getting the lion’s share of the public money, then consider again if the people who are paying taxes to these international banks and who's children have been sold as bond-servants should be thrown out of their homes by these banks, using the local police as their enforcers.
We are waking up homeless on the continent our fathers occupied just as Jefferson said we would.
We Americans are only beginning to experience the chaos from our collapsing economy the same way it occurred in Argentina and many other first and third-world countries. "As rich as an Argentine" was for a long time a popular saying, but no more. I encourage anyone to watch Argentina's Economic Collapse to get an idea of where we're headed, and read Confessions of an Economic Hit Man to get an idea of how we got here.
P.S. Thankfully in California, governor Schwarzenegger has a militarized camp that all the homeless "get" to go to and I hear they have movies on Friday nights! (But don't worry, these are not FEMA camps.)

What has happened to our police?
It should be noted that the incidents below are only an extremely small sample of the sick police brutality that actually occurs and that can be found on national news.
2009. Cop repeatedly tases mom as her children watch. MSNBC.
2009. Iraq War Vet Beaten, Tased by Cops at Las Vegas Airport
2009. Police throw confused 87 year old woman to the ground and blood oozes out onto pavement. YouTube
2009. Oakland, CA: Transit officer Johannes Mehserle executes unarmed man, shooting him in the back while he's laying face down on the ground. Bullet bounces back off the concrete and shreds Oscar Grant's lungs. Grant is turned over and with hands up begs "I have a young child, please don't kill me." The demonic officer becomes enraged at his prey and starts yelling and screaming at the dying man. Police confiscate cell phone videos, thinking they had all the evidence rounded up, they tell the public there were no videos of the incident. Since then three separate videos of the incident have come out, including the official BART surveillance camera footage. This is not only a case against Johannes Mehserle but the entire transit authority police. Instead of voicing outrage and sympathy police around the nation are making excuses for the murderer. Infowars.com, KTVU YouTube, RawStory
2009. PADEN, Oklahoma: Insane thug cop attack emergency paramedic on way to hospital. Dash cam video reveals police tried to cover up misconduct. Witness said he looks so angry that she believes he need to be in anger management. This is not the first time this officer has pulled over and assaulted ambulance workers, apparently who he feels are a threat to his god-like power. Infowars.com here, here, and here

Max Keiser explains to his befuddled host the magnitude of the banker takeover
YouTube
Below is a transcript of the YouTube clip interview between Afshin Rattansi in Tehran and Max Keiser about the end of Wall Street:
Afshin: Well, joining me now on the phone is Max Keiser, the journalist and broadcaster live from Paris in France. Max Goldman and Morgan now subject to regulation. Isn't this what critics of their highly-geard dealing have been demanding for years?
Max: I'm not so sure, Afshin, I think this is a great way for them now to hide any close examination of their books, I think this is actually in the cards from the beginning. Because as you know Morgan and, ah JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs have been involved in a tremendous amount of, let's call it, euphamistically, money laundering over the years, and now by becoming a commercial bank, I believe that this is ah, going to insulate themselves from any real close examination because they're going to be behind the firewall, behind Hank Paulson's firewall. You know Hank Paulson has effectively hijacked, the US financial system, he's no different then the 9/11 hijackers as far as I'm concerned. He's a financial terrorist and he's taking the US banking system to the edge of the abyss — all for the benefit of the shareholders and his cronies at Goldman and JP Morgan, the US taxpayer, the US citizen unfortunately is going to get the short end of the stick.
Afshin: But doesn't the new regulatory provision because there will now be holding companies mean that we can expect loads of SEC, US Treasury official all flying around the world to Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs' offices checking all the records, interviewing the staff, checking on probity?
Max: Yes, but at the same time, this cout-de-tat has taken place and given Hank Paulson dictatorial powers to determine what is in fact information that should be disclosed or not disclosed, combine that with Bush's dictatorial powers to decalre a state of emergency at the drop of hat, I don't think any of this information is going to see the light of day. It's just like, you remember, building 7 on 9/11 is where they had all thos Enron records and those twin towers collapsing was kind of a cover to keep those records from being examined. These guys will stop at nothing to keep their dirty laundry a secret. So it's just par for the course.
Afshin: Even all the auditing companies that now, ah these banks, well, will have to be scrutinized by federal law?
Max: What auditing companies? The ones that have been discredited for the last ten years and have gone out of business like Auther Anderson who was auditing Enron, for example? The auditing companies, the rating agencies, the treasury department the federal reserve bank, this is a criminal syndicate, they should be investigated under RICO. These guys are wholesale theiving of trillions of dollars. The rest of the world will fortunately, wake up to the fact that they should probably get out of the US dollar, because that's the only teather between the rest of the world and this criminal syndicate on Wall Street headed up by Hank Paulson. So once they figure that out, the dollar goes into permanent decline, and the rest of the world will escape this nightmare of US banking, ah you know, Hank Paulson has become kind of like a Colonel Kurtz character, he's gone insane, nobody can stop him; they need to send like a Martin Sheen guy up the river to find him and take him out because he's taking the entire US economy into oblivion.
Afshin: At the very least will they at least have to pay more tax because after so many years people have been saying that Goldman partners when it was a partnership, they paid very little tax.
Max: [Laughs] What, are they going to be extradited from some low tax country with a non-extradition agreement? They're not going to stick around in the US when the Americans are going to have their pitchforks ready to go and take back their country? They're not going to stick around for that, that's for somebody else to do.
Afshin: Will the poor of America now be able to open current accounts, you know grandmothers with ten dollars to spare at Goldman Sachs branch?
Max: [Lauhgs] Afshin, ah, I don't think you're getting the full picture here. In order to bail out these crooks the Treasury and the Federal Reserve will flood the economy with trillions of dollars which will take the value of the dollar down to zero. Sure you can open an account at Goldman Sachs with your 100 dollar retirement fund, unfortunately that 100 dollars won't buy you toilet paper. Toilet paper is going to be, you know, this is more valuable than the US dollar in a few weeks time; a hundred dollars a sheet. This is a hundred dollars [holds up toilet paper] I can make a hundred dollars all I want right here, here's a thousand tollars, heres 5000 dollars, here's a million dollars. It's all going to complete zero, its like the Weimar Republic, they'll say you can have all the money you want. You want another stimulus package? Here'another 500 billion dollars, it doesn't make any difference, its all worthless.
Afshin: How did they pick the 700 billion dollar figure anyway because there was some estimates of 1.3 trillion and then there was 500, where are they getting their numbers from?
Max: The 700 billion dollars is an arbitrary sum, and its not the extent to which they can launder this money, it just means that they can't go exceed that level at any given moment in their laundering scheme. Let me tell you how it works: in other words, they've got their 700 billion dollar slush fund; they can buy a mortgage for 50 cents on the dollar to help out their banking buddies and then they can resell it for some other chump for 20 cents on the dollar — book a loss — for the American public take it off the 700 billion dollar slush fund and repeat the process over and over again. And they can keep the circular motion of this money laudering scheme, multi-national ponzi scheme going, but now its like a controlled demolition, not unlike 9/11 which was a controlled demolition.
This is a controlled demolition of the US banking system. Hank Paulson has become the arsonist and pyromaniac-in-chief. His job is to floor-by-floor take the US banking system down, take the US dollar down to its absolute zero, and do so withoug upsetting his chinese masters and his middle eastern masters. He's a tyrant. Under the Constitution, Hank Paulson qualifies as a tyrant and should be taken up on charges under the Constitution, that's a constitutional obligation of every American to get Hank Paulson into a court of law as a tyrant.
Afshin: You're talking about a question of timing, by the way building 7 is a bit more controversial, we'll have to save that for another time, but as to timing, as long as the Chinese don't withdraw their dollars does that mean the could just stave off a real systemic economic collapse in the United States until after the election?
Max: I think that the word from China is that they were going to start dumping US dollars. This is what triggered the bailout of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac because as you recall the Chinese bond-holders were made whole, the American shareholders got nothing. Interestingly enough Afshin, Lehman Brothers was allowed to fail and Lehman Brothers of course had a few hundred billion worth of bonds with Chavez, Hugo Chavez in Venesuala. So America was saying to Hugo Chavez of Venesuala vis-a-vis Lehman Brothers, we're not going to bail you out, but we'll be happy to bail the Chinese out. Of course the US shareholders get nothing, as long as they keep consuming, that's their only job in their country is to consume themselves until they can't consume any more....
Afshin: Max Keiser, journalist and broadcaster, funny you mentioned Venezuala I think that's our next story, how the Venesualen connection [unintelligable] Lehman Brothers [unintelligable] war ships are on their way from Russia. Thank you very much Max Keiser.

In other news, in a minor accounting error, American troop deaths exceed the 4-5000 now reported up to 6 times the amount, topping 30,000. If a soldier is transported away from a combat zone and dies in or on the way to a hospital, the Pentagon is not counting it as a combat related death.

“Then as the crowning savagery of war, we as Americans wiped out hundreds of thousands of civilian population with the atom bomb in Japan, few if any of the ordinary civilians being any more responsible for the war than were we and perhaps no more aiding Japan in the war than we were aiding America. Military men are now saying that the atom bomb was a mistake. It was more than that: it was a world tragedy.…And the worst of the atomic bomb tragedy is not that not only did the people of the United States not rise up in protest against this savagery, not only did it not shock us to read of this wholesale destruction of men, women and children, and cripples, but that it actually drew from the nation at large approval of this fiendish butchery.” (J. Reuben Clark, October 1946.)
