Super Bowl Mic Hijack Proves Government Cannot Protect You

“Bomb sniffing dogs, 700 extra troopers, a 24-hour FBI command center, a vast network of surveillance cameras, the ‘See Something, Say Something’ snitch program in full force, TSA agents, snipers, no fly zones, helicopter patrols.  The bill for all this – which ran into tens of millions of dollars – was paid for by taxpayers despite the income-tax exempt NFL already getting a sales tax break at a further cost of $8 million to NJ residents.   30-year-old Matthew Mills made a mockery of all this when he crashed a press conference to tell the viewing millions that the 9/11 attacks were, ‘perpetrated by people in our own government,’ urging them to ‘investigate 9/11,’ before being dragged away.”

We Vanquish Terrorism When We Refuse To Be Terrorized

FBI agents and CIA intelligence officials, constitutional law expert professor Jonathan Turley, Time Magazine, Keith Olbermann and the Washington Post have all said that U.S. government officials ‘were trying to create an atmosphere of fear in which the American people would give them more power’.  And former Secretary of Homeland Security Tom Ridge admits that he was pressured to raise terror alerts to help Bush win reelection. Fear sells.  This didn’t stop with Bush … politicians are still still fearmongering every chance they get. (Indeed, the biggest fearmongerers themselves quietly back terrorism).  Sociologists have shown that fear of terrorism makes people stupid and malleable.”

Fifty States of Fear

“Even though the U.S. has revoked freedoms during wartime (and for some groups in peacetime), for most of its history the people have not been under the yoke of an all-powerful sovereign. However, since 9/11 leaders of both political parties in the United States have sought to consolidate power by leaning not just on the danger of a terrorist attack, but on the fact that the possible perpetrators are frightening individuals who are not like us.  Last year President Obama brought the enemy closer to home, arguing that ‘we face a real threat from radicalized individuals here in the U.S.‘ — radicalized individuals who were ‘deranged or alienated individuals — often U.S. citizens or legal residents.'”

The Fight of Our Lives

antiwar_logo4

“When the country elected Barack Obama, they thought they had kicked the coup plotters out of the White House and out of power. Yet the neocon legacy stayed intact: the secret Panopticon they built was inherited and expanded by Obama & Co. Indeed, Obama’s Justice Department has gone far beyond the Bush administration in their fierce prosecution of whistle-blowers and their brazen intimidation of the media.  If anything like that had happened during the Bush years, Nancy Pelosi would’ve been at the head of a massive San Francisco demonstration where speaker after speaker would’ve denounced the ‘fascist’ Bush ‘regime.’ Today Pelosi is leading the charge against reining in the NSA.”

Saudi Arabia Must Face Sept. 11 Victims in Revived Suit

“Lawsuits claiming Saudi Arabia aided al-Qaeda and should be held liable for the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attack was revived by a U.S. appeals court in a decision that allows victims and their families another chance to seek compensation from the kingdom.  The U.S. Court of Appeals in New York yesterday said a lower-court judge ‘rested on an error of law’ in rejecting a request to reopen the cases against the country’s government and an affiliated charity.  Michael Kellogg, a lawyer for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, didn’t immediately return a call yesterday seeking comment on the ruling.”

Wendy McElroy: Measuring the Extent of a Police State

mcelroy2

“There is a key difference between America and most police states. In East Germany, the average person knew he lived under tyranny and he did not expect justice to result from petitioning the tyrant. In America, many if not most people still trust the government enough to believe in reform rather than in the quiet revolution of saying ‘no.’ They still listen to the mainstream media, no matter how bitterly they complain about it. Nothing else can explain why people surrender their liberty and money in return for broken and retreaded promises. Even if America is a police state, it’s not intuitively obvious how far the process has progressed. All states violate rights. When does one become totalitarian?”

Are You Already in Jail?

“In recent years, stories coming from those who cross the Canadian/US border have become increasingly like those of the caricatures seen in the films of fifty years ago, depicting totalitarian East European countries that were under the control of the USSR.  (‘Your papers, pleece! Step ziss vay! Ve heff som qvestions!’) Many people have come to fear the Canadian/US border crossing, worrying that their answers to questions by Immigration officers (some of which have no bearing on immigration) will somehow provide officers with an excuse to detain or arrest them. Some have ceased travel across the Canadian/US border altogether.”

NSA pushed 9/11 as key ‘sound bite’ to justify surveillance

“The National Security Agency advised its officials to cite the 9/11 attacks as justification for its mass surveillance activities, according to a master list of NSA talking points.  The document, obtained by Al Jazeera through a Freedom of Information Act request, contains talking points and suggested statements for NSA officials (PDF) responding to the fallout from media revelations that originated with former NSA contractor Edward Snowden. Invoking the events of 9/11 to justify the controversial NSA programs, which have caused major diplomatic fallout around the world, was the top item on the talking points that agency officials were encouraged to use.”

Challenging the 911 Landlord Law

“‘911 Landlord Laws’ are also known as ‘nuisance’ or ‘crime-free housing‘ ordinances. The ordinances vary from city to city, but certain elements are common: to keep their rental licenses, landlords are encouraged or required to perform criminal background checks on rental applicants; they are encouraged or required to use a ‘crime-free lease,’ by which any crime on the premises breaks the contract — even if the tenant was a victim and did nothing more than call the police; furthermore, the police can demand eviction of a ‘nuisance’ tenant, and landlords who do not comply can be repeatedly fined or worse. In some cities, landlords can also be forced to pay the cost of police visits.”
