THE TRUTH ABOUT TERRORISM



More and more frequently U.S. citizens are being harassed and bullied by US law enforcement officials, and TSA enforcers as this individual was when he was detained on April 23 of this year by federal authorities at San Francisco International Airport for refusing to answer questions about why he had travelled outside the United States.

The end result was that, after waiting for about half an hour and refusing to answer further questions, he was released - because U.S. citizens who have produced proof of citizenship and a written customs declaration are not obligated to answer questions upon reentry into the United States when arriving from abroad.

Lessons learned: Cops Really Don’t Like It When You Refuse To Answer Their Questions.
They’re Keeping Records. A federal, computer-searchable file exists.

This Is About Power, Not Security[emphasis added..ed.]. As Paul Karl Lukacs stated:
The CBP goons want U.S. citizens to answer their questions as a ritualistic bow to their power. Well, CBP has no power over me. I am a law-abiding citizen, and, as such, I am the master, and the federal cops are my servants. They would do well to remember that.
On April 10, Denver Police were responding to a noise complaint about a going-away party for a 23 year-old-man at his Lower Downtown apartment. He has filed a lawsuit saying he was "tortured" by Denver police officers who plowed the handcuffed man’s face across the floor of his apartment, kneed him in the face, stood on his ankles and bent his fingers backward.

When party guests used their cell phones to videotape and photograph the alleged police abuse, one of the police officers seized the phones and dumped them in a bowl of water "to destroy evidence," according the lawsuit.

On Friday morning, September 24, The FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force raided six Minneapolis homes, executing search warrants related to an investigation into the material support of terrorism.
Steff Yorek, whose house was one of those searched, said she was still half-asleep at 7 a.m. when eight FBI agents came to her South Minneapolis home brandishing battering rams.

Yorek said the searches constitute harassment of people involved in anti-war and international solidarity work. She and some of the other people whose homes were searched are associated with the Freedom Road Socialist Organization.

"I think this is about our opposition to U.S.-funded war and death squads in Columbia and our solidarity with Palestine," she said.

But Yorek said she hasn't done anything wrong. "We have done absolutely nothing that could be considered material support of terrorism," she said. "This is just harassment."
It seems that the US government now believes in automatic guilt by association.
According to Reuters, Chicago antiwar activist (and longtime gay rights activist) Andy Thayer was also targeted, which he attributed to "solidarity work, for speaking out on the issues of the day."

CNN also listed the Palestine Solidarity Group, the Twin Cities Antiwar Committee, and Students for a Democratic Society as groups whose members were targeted. The Twin Cities Antiwar Committee’s office was also raided according to the group’s attorneys.
In an article by Paul Craig Roberts (father of Reaganomics, former head of policy at the Department of Treasury and a former editor for the Wall Street Journal)
Now we know what Homeland Security (sic) secretary Janet Napolitano meant when she said on September 10: "The old view that "if we fight the terrorists abroad, we won’t have to fight them here" is just that - the old view." The new view, Napolitano said, is "to counter violent extremism right here at home."[Notice the association of terrorism with extremism ..ed.]
This begs the question; What does the government of the United States of America, "the land of the free, and home of the brave" regard as violent extremism?
"Violent extremism" is one of those undefined police state terms that will mean whatever the government wants it to mean. In this morning’s FBI’s foray into the homes of American citizens of conscience, it means antiwar activists, whose activities are equated with "the material support of terrorism," just as conservatives equated Vietnam era anti-war protesters with giving material support to communism.

Anti-war activist Mick Kelly whose home was raided, sees the FBI raids as harassment to intimidate those who organize war protests. I wonder if Kelly is underestimating the threat. The FBI’s own words clearly indicate that the federal police agency and the judges who signed the warrants do not regard antiwar protesters as Americans exercising their Constitutional rights, but as unpatriotic elements offering material support to terrorism.

"Material support" is another of those undefined police state terms. In this context the term means that Americans who fail to believe their government’s lies and instead protest its policies, are supporting their government’s declared enemies and, thus, are not exercising their civil liberties but committing treason.

As this initial FBI foray is a softening up move to get the public accustomed to the idea that the real terrorists are their fellow citizens here at home, Kelly will get off this time. But next time the FBI will find emails on his computer from a "terrorist group" set up by the CIA that will incriminate him. Under the practices put in place by the Bush and Obama regimes, and approved by corrupt federal judges, protesters who have been compromised by fake terrorist groups can be declared "enemy combatants" and sent off to Egypt, Poland, or some other corrupt American puppet state - Canada perhaps - to be tortured until confession is forthcoming that antiwar protesters and, indeed, every critic of the US government, are on Osama bin Laden’s payroll.

Almost every Republican and conservative and, indeed, the majority of Americans will fall for this,...

Americans are the most gullible people who ever existed. They tend to support the government instead of the Constitution, and almost every Republican and conservative regards civil liberty as a coddling device that encourages criminals and terrorists.

The US media, highly concentrated in violation of the American principle of a diverse and independent media, will lend its support to the witch hunts that will close down all protests and independent thought in the US over the next few years. As the Nazi leader Joseph Goebbels said, "think of the press as a great keyboard on which the Government can play."

An American Police State was inevitable once Americans let "their" government get away with 9/11. Americans are too gullible, too uneducated, and too jingoistic to remain a free people. As another Nazi leader Herman Goering said, "The people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. Tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peace-makers for lack of patriotism and for exposing the country to danger."

This is precisely what the Bush and Obama regimes have done. America, as people of my generation knew it, no longer exists.
The United States government not only believes in guilt by association but also holds a dim view of U.S. Constitutionalists as we learn from an article published in the Economist which is owned by members of the Rothschild banking family of England. It is run by the Economist Group, a known CIA front. The CIA is a covert arm of the Unites States Government.

In an effort to debunk the Tea Party Movement and its reliance on the U.S. Constitution the editors of the Economist have stated that the Constitution does not address the "hard questions thrown up by modern politics," namely should gays be allowed to marry?

According to Kurt Nimmo
The Economist argument against the Constitution is the same one used by liberal academics. The document is antiquated, the product of a bygone era. The founders were afraid of "democracy taking hold," so they crafted a document designed to exclude the common people and preserve their aristocratic position.

Globalists love democracy. It is an easy enough task to fool the people, especially these days with 24-7 media and satellite television. It is a relatively simple matter to have the benighted masses vote away their natural rights under some cooked up false pretense.[such as the war on terror...ed.] Democracy is not freedom. Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to eat for lunch. Freedom comes from the recognition of certain rights which may not be taken, not even by a 99% vote," wrote Marvin Simkin. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote.
Epilogue

We must realize that the "war on terror" is not a war against a foreign adversary, but instead an excuse to train law enforcement and the military to control U.S. citizens in the evolving U.S. police state. It is an excuse to justify arbitrary decisions by the Executive Branch inimical to citizens rights. It is an excuse used by the U.S. congress to pass draconian legislation stripping Americans of their hard fought freedoms and constitutional rights.

The "war on terror" is part of the plan to bring about the surrender of the sovereignty of the national independence of the United States which coincides with the CFR, Trilateral, and Club of Rome scheme to implement a world government.

DURING TIMES OF UNIVERSAL DECEIT, TELLING THE TRUTH BECOMES A REVOLUTIONARY ACT - George Orwell
Single acts of tyranny may be ascribed to the accidental opinion of the day; but a series of oppressions, begun at a distinguished period, and pursued unalterably through every change of ministers too plainly proves a deliberate, systematic plan of reducing us to slavery................................................Thomas Jefferson
Today Jefferson's words might read, "An occasional act of tyranny may be excused as a momentary lapse of judgment by officials, but a continuous series of such acts pursued through both Democratic and Republican administrations clearly proves there is a deliberate and systematic plan to reduce once-free Americans to slavery." (1)
I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country. As a result of the war, corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until all wealth is aggregated in a few hands, and the Republic is destroyed............attributed to Abraham Lincoln.
These two quotes by one of our founding fathers and past President describe how our American form of government (a Republic ruled by law for the benefit of its citizens) is sliding towards the tyranny of democracy ruled by an elite oligarchy (the "money power") which invariably turns to Socialism, Fascism or Communism to increase its power and control.(click the link to watch the video which explains this fact.)

Is America ruled by an elite oligarchy (the "money power") described many years ago by Abraham Lincoln?

We will let one of America's most trusted journalists, the legendary anchor of CBS News, Walter Cronkite answer that question. Shortly before his death in July 2009 he was asked if there was a ruling class in America.
I am afraid there is," he replied. "I don't think it serves the democracy well, but that is true, I think there is. The ruling class is the rich who really command our industry, our commerce, our finance. And those people are able to so manipulate our democracy that they really control the democracy, I feel.(2)
The ancient Romans learned that the essence of freedom is the proper limitation of government which enabled it's economy, political power, and citizenry to flourish. They created twelve tables of Roman law. They built a republic that limited government power and left the Roman citizens alone. Since government was limited the people were free to produce with the understanding that they could keep the fruits of their labor.

In time Rome became wealthy and the envy of the world. In the midst of plenty however the Roman people forgot what freedom entailed. They forgot that the essence of freedom is the proper limitation of government. As Roman government power grew the Roman citizens' freedom declined. Once the Roman citizens dropped their guard power seeking politicians began to exceed the powers granted them in the Roman constitution. Some learned that they could elect politicians who would use government power to take property from some and give it to others. Agriculture subsidies were introduced followed by housing and welfare programs. Inevitably taxes rose and controls over the private sector were imposed. Soon a number of Rome's producers could no longer make ends meet and they went on the dole. Productivity declined, shortages developed and mobs began roaming the streets demanding bread and services from the government. Many citizens were induced to trade freedom for security. Eventually the whole system came crashing down. They went from a Republic to a Democracy and ended up with an Oligarchy under a progression of deceivers. Thus democracy itself is not a stable form of government. Instead it is the gradual transition from limited government to the unlimited rule of an oligarchy. Knowing this we as Americans are ultimately left with two choices. We can keep our republic as Franklin put it or we will inevitably end up with an oligarchy of tyranny of the elite.

Socialism and Loss of Individuality(3)

Socialism is a key word in understanding what has happened to America. Most dictionaries define "socialism" as the collective ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods and services. Invariably, a centralized authority is needed to administer these means.

The communist leader Vladimir Ilyich Lenin foresaw a worker's paradise where "Each person will be voluntarily engaged in work according to his capacities, and each will freely take according to his needs." But, as Lenin noted, before a person could freely take from the State, that person must become subordinate to the State.

"All our lives we fought against exalting the individual," said Lenin. Espousing the same agenda of the early-day Western globalists who funded the Bolsheviks during the Russian Revolution of 1917, Lenin proclaimed, "The aim of socialism is not only to abolish the present division of mankind into small states and all-national isolation, not only to bring the nations closer to each other, but also to merge them." He also may have foreseen the methods being used to bring down the American Republic when he said, "The surest way to destroy a nation is to debauch its currency" and "Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted."

As former assistant secretary of the Treasury Paul Craig Roberts stated in a treatise on the first principles of freedom, "A person born before the turn of the [20th] century was born a private individual. He was born into a world in which his existence was attested by his mere physical presence, without documents, forms, permits, licenses, orders, lists of currency carried in and out, identity cards, draft cards, ration cards, exit stamps, customs declarations, questionnaires, tax forms, reports in multuplicate [sic], social security number, or other authentications of his being, birth, nationality, status, beliefs, creed, right to be, enter, leave, move about, work, trade, purchase, dwell....Many people take private individuals for granted, and they will find what I am saying far fetched. But private individuals do not exist in the Soviet Union or in China where the claims of the state are total and even art and literature must be subservient to the interests of the state...."

Roberts presented an example of how bureaucracy has begun to erode the liberties of American citizens: "[In the 1970's] US District Judge Wilbur Owens instructed the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia to use involuntary transfers of faculty members between system institutions to achieve racial balance among the faculties. As long as the involuntary transfers of teachers was intra-city and confined to the elementary and high school teachers, my liberal colleagues saw it as social progress. But once they faced inter-city involuntary transfers, they called it fascism. It is true that until the liberal progress of the 1960's, government direction of labor in this century was unique to the Hitler and Stalin regimes. As is often the case, people realize the consequences of statist ideas only when their own private individualities are touched."

But the fleecing of America did not merely start in the 1970's. It's been going on for many more decades. Consider a 1934 editorial cartoon published in the Chicago Tribune, entitled "Planned Economy or Planned Destruction?" In the drawing there are men identified as "Young Pinkies from Columbia and Harvard," who are shoveling money from a cart. Beneath the cart sits a disheveled Leon Trotsky writing, "Plan of action for U.S. - Spend! Spend! Spend! Under the guise of recovery - Bust the Government - Blame the capitalists for the failure - Junk the Constitution and declare a dictatorship." This cartoon might well have been drawn by a conservative cartoonist of today.

A few older citizens may recall the words of Norman Mattoon Thomas, a pacifist who ran for president six times between 1928 and 1948 under the Socialist Party of America banner, "The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism," he said. "But under the name of 'liberalism' they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened."

In a 1948 interview, Thomas said he was retiring from American politics because both the Democratic and Republican parties had adopted every plank of the Socialists' platform and there was no longer a need for the alternative Socialist Party.

If Thomas was possibly correct in 1948, he is undoubtedly correct now. Many people see what once was termed "creeping socialism" in the United States now full-blown policy in Washington. This perception was reflected on the February 16, 2009, cover of Newsweek that declared, "We Are All Socialists Now."

Epilogue

This article should be required reading in every senior high school history class and mandatory for all home schooled children. "Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted." Lenin

"The first step in liquidating a people is to erase its memory. Destroy its books, its culture, its history. Then have somebody write new books, manufacture a new culture, invent a new history. Before long the nation will begin to forget what it is and what it was." wrote Czech author Milan Kundera about life under communist dictatorship in The Book of Laughter and Forgetting.

It is high time we take America back! We must start by reeducating our children with the truth.
