FAKE TERROR PLOTS CREATE ILLUSION OF DANGER

The “War on Terror” has been the justification for the government to infringe or outright take away many of the rights we naturally possess. It has also been the justification for the build-up of massive surveillance systems designed to track everything we do.

In order for us to accept these conditions, it is necessary for us to believe that there is imminent danger at all times. Because this is not true, it therefore becomes neccesary for danger, or the illusion of danger, to be created and presented in a way that keeps the population in fear and willing to give up or sacrifice freedoms for the sake of feeling “safe” from those (made-up) dangers.

Since 9/11, the FBI has made many arrests and “foiled” many “plots” and of course these arrests make big headlines and perpetuate the myth that there is danger everywhere. What does NOT make big headlines is the fact that the FBI cultivates and creates plots where there is none and then arrests the very individuals that it lured into it’s web.

But don’t take my word for it. Read about it here, here, here, here, and here. The last article is an excellent piece by the New York Times detailing how the FBI found someone they considered to be susceptible to their suggestion. Although the man definitely had strong opinions, it took the FBI 11 months and a bribe of $250,000 to create the “terrorist” they needed for there next headline. In addition, you can read this about a 30-year CIA vet explaining how governments create “false-flag” terrorists. The article goes on to explain how NGO’s such as the Brookings Institute and WINEP propose exactly that to embroil the U.S. into more wars.

Over the past two years the government has rolled out it’s “See Something, Say Something” program designed to create an atmosphere of fear and suspicion. You may have seen the program on many hotel’s house channel. It is played along with the hotel’s information and urges guests to “say something” if they “see something.” In addition, huge billboards are popping up like this one:

Notice the Department of Homeland Security and California Emergency Management Agency emblems. In order for them to justify building the system that makes you a virtual slave and prisoner, they must create the illusion that it is needed, and that only they can protect you – if you are willing to give up some freedom and rights of course.

NO NEED FOR ACTUAL PROOF BEFORE USING DRONES AGAINST U.S. CITIZENS

A recent  “white paper” memo drafted by the Injustice Justice Department gives the government itself legal protection to carry out drone strikes on American citizens.

“The condition that an operational leader present an ‘imminent’ threat of violent attack against the United States does not require the United States to have clear evidence that a specific attack on U.S. persons and interests will take place in the immediate future,” the memo states.

Instead, it says, an “informed high-level” official of the U.S. government may determine that the targeted American has been “recently” involved in “activities” posing a threat of a violent attack and “there is no evidence suggesting that he has renounced or abandoned such activities.” The memo, of course, does not define “recently” or “activities.”

Perhaps it refers to these activities that have been deemed suspicious by the FBI.

In a response to a lawsuit from the New York Times and ACLU suing for the release of Justice Department memos on drone strikes targeting American citizens, U.S. Judge Colleen McMahon said she was unable to order the release of documents because of “the thicket of laws and precedents that effectively allow the executive branch of our government to proclaim as perfectly lawful certain actions that seem on their face incompatible with our Constitution and laws while keeping the reasons for the conclusion a secret.”

In other words, the government will do whatever it wants, to whomever it wants, whenever it wants.

GOV GIVEN POWER TO COLLECT, STORE & ANALYZE YOUR DATA FOR 5 YEARS

In new reports by the Wall Street Journal and Wired Magazine Attorney General Eric Holder secretly gave the National Counterterrorism Center the ability to develop and store vast amounts of information on U.S. citizens – even those who are suspected of nothing. This new authority gives the agency the green light to store data about individuals for 5 years and to analyze it for “suspicious activity” – powers it did not previously have. What, exactly, is “suspicious activity” that could mark someone as a “terrorist”? Read the list - you probably qualify.

WE ARE ALL TERRORISTS NOW

These pamphlets that the FBI sent out finger pretty much everyone as a potential terrorist. It is important that the net be thrown as wide as possible to ensure that monitoring and tracking and spying of all types can be justified when the time has come to arrest YOU. Oh, you aren’t a terrorist? Are you sure? A quick rundown:

- If you shop at a beauty supplier or a drug store but you don’t own a salon, you might be a terrorist.

- If you travel a long distance to get to a store, you might be a terrorist.
- If you pay cash for a cup of coffee, you might be a terrorist.
- If you’re at a hobby shop but you’re not excited about your hobby, you might be a terrorist.
- If you encrypt your photos on your computer, you might be a terrorist.
- If you are overly concerned about privacy, you might be a terrorist.
- If you purchase hydrogen peroxide, you might be a terrorist.
- If you download content of an extreme or radical nature with violent themes, you might be a terrorist.
- If you’re a new customer and not from the local area and you’re shopping at a farm supply store, you might be a terrorist.
- If you demonstrate a specific interest in remote-controlled airplanes, you might be a terrorist.
- If you are missing a hand or fingers and are present in a shopping mall, you might be a terrorist.
- If you are using a camera in a shopping mall, you might be a terrorist.
- If you are taking notes, you might be a terrorist.
- If you are drawing diagrams, you might be a terrorist.
- If you get a room at a hotel and do not leave said room until your departure, you might be a terrorist.
- If you refuse cleaning services at a hotel, you might be a terrorist.
- If you change your appearance while staying at a hotel, you might be a terrorist.
- If you buy batteries AND a GPS at an electronics store, you might be a terrorist.

WARRANTLESS ENTRY FINE BY COURTS

Courts are deciding on a regular basis that law enforcement agencies of all types need no warrant to enter your property or home and that owners have no right to resisit or deny them entry. Two recent examples show that the Fourth Amendment, like the rest of the Bill of Rights, is dying a slow death.

In one case, Justice Steven David said. “We believe … a right to resist an unlawful police entry into a home is against public policy and is incompatible with modern Fourth Amendment jurisprudence,” David said. “We also find that allowing resistance unnecessarily escalates the level of violence and therefore the risk of injuries to all parties involved without preventing the arrest.”

Incompatible with the Fourth Amendment? Maybe there is another Fouth Amendment I don’t know about. And there wouldn’t BE any risk of escalation or injury if government officials were in the habit of knowing and obeying their legal limits.

In the second case,, police entered into private propoerty to install a video camera. Granted, they could see the illegal activity of growing marijuana and wanted to record events for use later. The problem here is that they entered private property and set up the camera WITHOUT a warrant – they obtained the warrant after the fact.

Again, the judges ruled that this warrantless invasion of private property was within the scope of legal activity.

These are the kinds of decisions that slowly chip away at our rights such as private property and the right not to be illegaly searched. These decisions build “case law” which will be used in the future by judges deciding other cases.

Combine this activity with all of the new technology that makes surveillance and tracking so easy and commonplace and you can see HOW WE ARE LOSING OUR FREEDOMS.

WHY DOES THE PRESIDENT NEED YOUR HEALTH RECORD?

You had better start paying attention to all those “Terms of Use” and legal notices that are always in the fine print of everything we sign. Recently, a parent who took her child into a medical treatment facility found wording in her paperwork stating that her daughter’s medical records may be disclosed “to federal officials for intelligence and national security activities”and “in order to protect the president.”

BTW, I am not an attorney and nothing here should ever be construed as legal advice, but I have heard that it is possible to line out portions of contracts and initial where you did so and then sign where you normally would. If they accept it after you have done that, it is a “contract.” Just like everything else you read, make sure you research it first.
