Jeffrey Tucker: The Eff Word Goes Mainstream

Posted on by

“Trump is clearly not pushing himself as a traditional American president, heading an executive branch and working with Congress and the judicial branch. He imagines himself as running to head a personal state: his will would be the one will for the country. He has no real reform plans beyond putting himself in charge, not only of the government but, as he imagines, the entire country. It’s a difference of substance that is very serious. The rest of the campaign has been easy to predict. He refashioned himself as pro-family, anti-PC, and even pro-religion. The key to understanding fascism is this: it preserves the despotic ambitions of socialism while removing its most politically unpopular elements.”

72 Types Of Americans Government Considers “Potential Terrorists” [2013]

Posted on by

“At one time, the term ‘terrorist’ was used very narrowly.  The government applied that label to people like Osama bin Laden and other Islamic jihadists.  But now the Obama administration is removing all references to Islam from terror training materials, and instead the term ‘terrorist’ is being applied to large groups of American citizens.  And if you are a ‘terrorist’, that means that you have no rights and the government can treat you just like it treats the terrorists that are being held at Guantanamo Bay.  So if you belong to a group of people that is now being referred to as ‘potential terrorists’, please don’t take it as a joke.  The first step to persecuting any group of people is to demonize them.”

The fee to get rid of US citizenship just went up (again)

Posted on by

“For those who didn’t wish to renounce their citizenship, there was a second option: relinquishment. Tina Turner did this but taking Swiss citizenship – something that took her well over a decade to get – with the intention of giving up her American passport.  It’s a bit of a semantics game, but it has worked for some folks. However, the US – with all of its nearly $20 trillion in debt – has caught on to yet another loophole by the ‘evil rich’, and has recently increased the fee for processing a citizenship relinquishment from $0 to the same $2,350 that renunciation costs.”

Majority Views NSA Phone Tracking as Acceptable Anti-terror Tactic [2013]

Posted on by

“Currently 62% say it is more important for the federal government to investigate possible terrorist threats, even if that intrudes on personal privacy. Just 34% say it is more important for the government not to intrude on personal privacy, even if that limits its ability to investigate possible terrorist threats.  These opinions have changed little since an ABC News/Washington Post survey in January 2006. Currently, there are only modest partisan differences in these opinions: 69% of Democrats say it is more important for the government to investigate terrorist threats, even at the expense of personal privacy, as do 62% of Republicans and 59% of independents.”

Officials Worldwide Seek New Powers in Wake of Paris Attacks

Posted on by

“Officials in several countries are wasting no time in trying to convince the public to trade essential freedoms for the promise of enhanced security.  US officials are also eager to cash in on the panic with more powers, seeking to expand their ability to carry out mass surveillance, citing the largely toothless ‘reforms’ of NSA surveillance as proof that the US has intelligence ‘gaps’ that need to be filled by more intrusion into ordinary citizens’ affairs.  Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon was the least specific but the most direct, insisting that Paris proved the need to favor security over basic human rights, and predicting a massive shift toward more government power.”

France under first nationwide state of emergency since 1961

Posted on by

“Most significant for the French state in the current context are the powers given to the security services and police to act without judicial oversight. They can conduct house searches at any time, enforce house arrest and confiscate certain classes of weapons, even if people hold them legally.  Using the special measures, 168 homes have been raided and 104 people have been placed under house arrest in the past 48 hours. These have led to 23 arrests and the seizure of 31 weapons. On Sunday the French president, François Hollande, was reported to have told parliamentarians he was considering an extension of three months.”

Trump’s Operation Police State

Posted on by

“If elected president, Donald Trump says he would create a ‘deportation force’ to carry out his pledge to expel more than 11 million people from the United States merely because they lack government permission to be here. ‘We have no choice if we’re going to run our country properly and if we’re going to be a country,’ he said during the Republican debate Tuesday night. Ultimately the case for freedom of movement is not about the U.S. economy. It’s about whether people born outside the United States will be treated like human beings or, as Trump proposes, like animals.”

US nearly detonated atomic bomb over North Carolina [2013]

Posted on by

“A secret document, published in declassified form for the first time by the Guardian today, reveals that the US Air Force came dramatically close to detonating an atom bomb over North Carolina that would have been 260 times more powerful than the device that devastated Hiroshima.  The document, obtained by the investigative journalist Eric Schlosser under the Freedom of Information Act, gives the first conclusive evidence that the US was narrowly spared a disaster of monumental proportions when two Mark 39 hydrogen bombs were accidentally dropped over Goldsboro, North Carolina on 23 January 1961.”

Missile Test Terrorism Over Los Angeles

Posted on by

“The unnerving spectacle made its biggest impression on the Americans who saw it first-hand. And they were probably its chief intended audience. ‘Getting people really concerned in L.A.’ is exactly what the regime wanted.  Why else would the government clear the skies to paint them with nuclear war games precisely when and where it would have the biggest audience with the best visibility: near a basin full of people in the most densely populated region in the country, at a time (around 6:00 pm) when it is nice and dark, yet millions would be out and about, returning from work, or heading out to dinner? This was ‘Shock and Awe’ for domestic consumption.”

Editorial: Govt. Would Defeat Rebellion by Making Major Cities ‘Disappear’

Posted on by

“Littell has played ‘the nuclear card’ before when advocating ‘common sense [gun] reforms’ and disparaging armed resistance to tyranny. And what he doesn’t grok is that the line in the sand for those of us who will not comply is mass enforcement of the very edicts he endorses. That would not be possible without a nationwide program to collect the firearms and magazines he maintains would be useless.  No, to anyone contemplating that, including proponents of a nuclear deterrent. We will not comply. Your move.”
