The RAnts of RA

Tonight (2003-03-19) the President of the United States acted on his determination that our only ‘defense’ is to strike first and hit hard, replacing the current political system of our ‘enemy’ Iraq with something more acceptable to our government.

Under his order, missiles and jets are currently striking at Iraq. By his signature representatives at all levels of our government are acting on their instructions to search out and collect information regarding ‘terrorists’ at home and abroad. Every home. Not only throughout the world, but at the house next door and at your very own.

Their orders? Locate those that voice dissenting opinions (yes, opinions – not actions) in order to determine their risk level. For what reason would a government desire to obtain this information if not to use it? I pose a theory.

After Adolf Hitler started his extra-national ‘defense measures’ he had a few silent and vocal dissidents who were readily collected and brought to facilities where they could be prevented from ‘infecting’ the rest of his supporters with their opposing views. Doing this solved several problems. It removed the ‘real’ vocal opponents from the media so that the only remaining opposing voices were treated with incredulity. It would be like removing the typical newspaper reporters, AP members, and prominent television anchors and leaving only Julia Roberts and Alex Baldwin to speak out against the current actions. Both of whom have lost any and all credibility as far as politics goes for the vast majority of Americans.

Secondly, by migrating all of the dissidents to a single area he could more readily dispose of – or have his own supporters secretly join and observe – new groups before they could form any concrete structure and security protocols. This enabled him to have his own eyes and ears in any movement against him, while preserving what was perceived as the status quo.

Third, with the major media outlets presenting only supportive commentaries, the herd-mentality of the nation was lead to believe that the anti-nazi movement was small enough to be trivial. Whether or not that was true is irrelevant. Since the majority of the population believed it to be true, dissidents were actively sought out by the much more vocal nazis and publicly humiliated, attacked and murdered outright.

Of course, who in the media wouldn’t want to support their "protective" government when they were being secretly attacked by terrorists and subversives? Historians today will quickly point out the terrorist actions Hitler and his own followers created as sponsorship for their rise to power and later as a mechanism to ensure the further placation of the population that there “really was” a need for the level of security imposed on their nation. Who’s to say that the same methodologies will not be applied to the US? Statements by Bush and Co. already replicate the sentiments, if not the very letter of statements made by fascist dictators of bygone years. Hitler would be extremely proud of what is happening in America.

Myself, I’m disgusted. Not only at the disturbing actions by our own government, but by many of the people who claim to be well-versed in our national heritage who cannot see the results of the actions they are supporting. The USAPA, Son of USAPA and Office of Homeland Security each give far-reaching powers that DO NOT DISAPPEAR when the next president is elected. Even if you do not believe that the ‘Lesser Of Two Evils’ would never misuse these new powers – what is to stop the next Bill Clinton or Herbert Hoover from doing so? If your gut-reaction is to do everything within your power to preserve GWB as President in order to ensure that that never happens, mark my words, you’ve already accepted his dictatorship.

As one that vocally opposes the current US fascist regime I fully expect to be one of those that will be separated from the public "for it’s own good" in the near future. Before that happens I want to ensure that I’ve said my piece.

• OUR NATION does not support this president’s actions.
• OUR CONSTITUTION has been torn asunder at his hands.
• OUR VERY LIVES are being threatened and abused.
• OUR CHOICE is clear.
• WE are the only defense our nation has from complete destruction.

If you cherish liberty be ready to defend it. Stand up for the nation you love. From this moment you can either count the hours to our nations demise, or prepare to fight alongside other true patriots who recognize the signs of our growing disaster. It will not be long before there are local terrorist demonstrations by GWB’s other henchmen to ensure that the creation of the Homeland Security Department and the extension of powers offered by the unconstitutional USAPA were not in vain.

Prepare for the worst. It’s only beginning.

I received the following article by email (“Public Servants” Going After “Constitutional Terrorists”?), to summarize; the FBI has released a flyer (below) which explicitly states that those people who are active supporters of the constitution are terrorists.

I knew this day would come… sometimes I hate being right.

This is all for now. I recommend following the link above and also bookmarking the parent site, KeepAndBearArms.com.

Today I read an article on InsightMag.com that, quite frankly, gave me the chills.

Things have gone rapidly down-hill since the horrific events of September 11th, 2001. The horror is that the ‘terrorists’ could have the audacity to kill thousands of people, and jubilantly cheer at their demise. This has not been questioned.

However, the real tragedy in the WTC and Pentagon attacks is that the US Federal Government and individual States have immediately and collectively undermined the will of our great nation, in the name of ‘security‘.

States have started issuing mandates requiring vaccinations against any ‘contagious diseases‘. Since all diseases that can be vaccinated against are contagious by definition – why bother vaccinating against something that isn’t contagious? The wholesale effect of this is that it would immediately force foreign substances into the veins of every American and/or effectively create state-run concentration camps for the purpose of isolating them in the name of ‘quarantining‘ the uninfected from the general populace, under the assertion that *they* are the source of risk. These immunizations & quarantines will be government controlled, and unpetitionable; those people that are not infected and refuse immunizations will be taken from their homes and placed in government-controlled concentration camps without due process and would not even be allowed to petition their government for redress of grievances.

The above situation disappoints me greatly. But it is dwarfed by what the federal government has done. Would you approve a ‘pay rate change’ from your employer without seeing what the change would include? You expect it to be an increase, of course – any employer that had the audacity to do otherwise is insane, right? So you have every reason to trust them, don’t you? I didn’t think so. Would you still be reluctant if your employer said that it was a very reasonable change, and that it was for your own safety that you did not see the actual new value until after you signed a contract setting this sealed ‘rate’ in motion? Of course you’d be reluctant. Would you trust your federal representatives to vote for legislation that they were not allowed to read? After all – any legislation that the author says is ‘good for you’ must be, right?

If you’re not outraged at the very thought of this, perhaps you’ll be more outraged after hearing what the actual bill contained… including provisions to enable ‘representatives’ of any unnamed level of government to break into your home, property or business without a warrant – nor even reasonable assertion of what they hope to find, and without telling you – before or after. And they can tap your telephone, email, internet connection, any other digital or analog device on suspicion of ‘terrorist’ related activities, while maintaining the broadest possible definition of terrorism, even broader than the dictionary.

With the sweep of his pen, Bush has completely obliterated the 4th Amendment and Due Process. The entire intent of the Founders has been rendered asunder before Bush has fulfilled his first year in office. I’m ashamed that I supported him.

It’s time to make amends. There is no easy means of undoing what I’ve done, but there are steps I can take; as can you. It won’t be long before the government exploits these new ‘powers’ to their ultimate end – a complete and total compromise of your every Right.

• Prepare for the worst. I truly believe it is time for a new revolution. I don’t see any other way to reverse these dire actions which are already in motion.
• Get a gun. No… get several. Don’t forget ammunition.
• Keep your eyes peeled for injustice – speak out when you see it. If they know someone is watching it will make it more difficult to blatantly invade your rights.
• Get a partner. Don’t go anywhere alone anymore. A single victim is much easier to overwhelm than a pair. The presence of a second person also increases the chances that if something does occur others will find out about it.
• Don’t rely solely on digital communication. Since the WTC and Pentagon attacks, Carnivore has been beefed up enormously. Assume that every byte from every email and webpage you ever visit has been, and will continue to be, tracked by the government. If you need anonymity for your actions on the Internet consider using a public terminal that does not log your presence – like a college computer room, library, large computer vendor or internet cafe. If anonymity is very important create a new contact profile on a public forum like Yahoo, Hotmail or Mail.com – and use a public forum so _direct_ contact with your partner is not necessary. Consider posting to completely different forums and providers when further communication is necessary.
• Don’t trust the postal service. The USPS has recently implemented ‘anti-terrorism’ policies in the interest of ‘public safety’. To that end they have failed to actually tell the public their new policy. I imagine this is to prevent potential terrorists from circumventing the new procedures in the distribution of bio-chemical agents via postal mail. Though I respect their proposed intent, the means by which they are [arguably] accomplishing it are no better than the alternative: neither of which work, and there is now no reason to trust that the USPS is not abusing their position to exploit completely unrelated material as a pawn of the government. Privatization of USPS? Yeah, right.

I haven’t really been in a mood lately to provide much more than partial aid to anyone in distress. For that I apologize. It is my hope that the future will once again be as optimistic as it usually is… I just don’t see it anytime soon.

It’s truly amazing how quickly he forgot what he was there to defend.
