The FBI's Secret Scrutiny

The FBI's Secret Scrutiny
In Hunt for Terrorists, Bureau Examines Records of Ordinary Americans

In accordance with Title 17 U.S.C. Section 107, this material is distributed without profit to those who have expressed a prior interest in receiving the included information for research and educational purposes.

The FBI can, as anytime and for any reason, access all information about you and there is no guarantee of privacy from search and seizure of your records. A ‘National Security Letter” is all that is required to access every bit of your personal data.

“…Issued by FBI field supervisors, national security letters do not need the imprimatur of a prosecutor, grand jury or judge. They receive no review after the fact by the Justice Department or Congress. The executive branch maintains only statistics, which are incomplete and confined to classified reports. The Bush administration defeated legislation and a lawsuit to require a public accounting, and has offered no example in which the use of a national security letter helped disrupt a terrorist plot…”

But there is one further aspect to this that is particularly chilling,

“…Late last month, President Bush signed Executive Order 13388, expanding access to those files for "state, local and tribal" governments and for "appropriate private sector entities," which are not defined…”

Not only has Bush approved that your personal information can be gathered by the FBI, without your knowledge, and with no justification what so ever, it can also be shared with ‘Private Sector Entities”. Who are these “private sector entities”? My guess is…geez, I don’t know. But think about the power of banks and financial institutions over our lives. Bush and the NeoCons are all about control, and what better way to control someone than by limiting their financial options, or their employment. What better way to silence a critic than by making it impossible to get a loan? What kind of leverage will the Republican Party have over you if they can inform your employer about your activities?

What does it take to get you investigated by the FBI? A letter to the editor, a phone call, an inadvertent statement in public, an organization you support, or even a friend of yours who said or wrote something that disagrees with the Bush Cabal are all reasons. Maybe you voted wrong; maybe you are the wrong faith, the wrong color, and the wrong nationality. Maybe you part your hair wrong.

I have no doubt I am on this list. I have no doubt I am part of an investigation due to this website and my activities in public. I have a friend who I admire very much who happens to be Iranian. I have marched in peace rally’s and have openly opposed all of Bush’s edicts. I have order religious proselytizers from my door. I stuck a sign in my front yard that said, “Impeach Bush”. My disagreement with tyranny is subject to suspicion by the Bush Gestapo.

You think we live in a free country? This is not freedom: this is rampant tyranny! There are riots in France because of bitter discrimination and an absolute lack of hope among young minority people. Where the hell are the riots in this country? Where the hell are the protests? Where the hell are these “patriotic” Americans who claim to love Democracy, their country, and freedom? They are cowering under the verbal abuse of their Christian leadership. They are covering their own eyes just so they won’t read about what has happened to this country. They are braying about the idiocy of “intelligent design”, complaining about too much sex on TV, Reading their Bible of lies and praying for Armageddon. They are raging against “liberals” and “Islam”.

Whoever support Bush and his ideological crusades against Democracy is a traitor to the ideals of this country. They are not our fellow citizens, they are mindless sheeple being led to slaughter and taking the rest of us with them.

Oppose Bush with every fiber of your being. Stand up and get into the streets to protest. Write letters. Demand your Congressman defend America. Take back the system that has been stolen by these thugs.

and, to you FBI guys and girls, I hope someday you will review your duty and ask yourself, who'se purpose did I serve? Duty to country is a sacred honor, but blind obedience to orders is antithetical to every tenet of America.
