Tyranny

This is part of what is so profoundly difficult about George W. Bush, the man is degenerate liar and Despot.

Bush Authorized Domestic Spying Before 9/11 By Jason Leopold t r u t h o u t | Perspective
Friday 13 January 2006

“….On orders from Defense Department officials and President Bush, the agency kept a running list of the names of Americans in its system and made it readily available to a number of senior officials in the Bush administration, these sources said, which in essence meant the NSA was conducting a covert domestic surveillance operation in violation of the law.
James Risen, author of the book State of War and credited with first breaking the story about the NSA's domestic surveillance operations, said President Bush personally authorized a change in the agency's long-standing policies shortly after he was sworn in in 2001.
"The president personally and directly authorized new operations, like the NSA's domestic surveillance program, that almost certainly would never have been approved under normal circumstances and that raised serious legal or political questions," Risen wrote in the book. "Because of the fevered climate created throughout the government by the president and his senior advisers, Bush sent signals of what he wanted done, without explicit presidential orders" and "the most ambitious got the message."…”

You did get that didn't you? Bush authorized the illegal wire taps BEFORE 911. Therefore his claim that he did this as a response to terrorism and keep America safe is an outright lie.....gee who would guess that this president is a liar?

There is something seriously wrong here…

Surge in Sale of Disposable Cell Phones May Have Terror Link

By BRIAN ROSS and RICHARD ESPOSITO

“Jan. 12, 2006 — Federal agents have launched an investigation into a surge in the purchase of large quantities of disposable cell phones by individuals from the Middle East and Pakistan, ABC News has learned…”
“…In one New Year's Eve transaction at a Target store in Hemet, Calif., 150 disposable tracfones were purchased. Suspicious store employees notified police, who called in the FBI, law enforcement sources said.
In an earlier incident, at a Wal-mart store in Midland, Texas, on December 18, six individuals attempted to buy about 60 of the phones until store clerks became suspicious and notified the police. A Wal-mart spokesperson confirmed the incident…”

The clerks called police, who summed the Feds, and you know what is most curious about this? Prepaid cell phones are not illegal. Not even if you buy 60, or 150, or 2,000 of the damn things…They are NOT illegal. You can own as many as you want! So why the heavy handed response by the FBI?

One possibilty is that there is something more sinister going on…that is, if American Citizens are using a prepaid cell phone the Federal Government CANNOT keep track of you. On the other hand, if you are using your standard cell phone, the FBI, CIA, Military Intelligence, NSA, whoever, can track you everywhere you go, in real time.

You are being watched.

Bush and his minions fear that Americans will disappear off their radar screens…Americans will be able to make phone calls and travel without the Federal Government knowing exactly where they are.

Dosen’t that make the hair on your neck stand up?

“…The growing use of the throwaway cell phones has been cited by President Bush as an important justification for expanding the wiretap laws under the Patriot Act…”

I do admit that there are some nasty people out there who would love to do harm to American Citizens... but, honestly, many of these people are in our own Government. Anyway, I realize it is a bad world and you do have to keep an eye, or ear, out for threats. But when Constitutional Rights are sacrificed to this end, then we have lost. What makes us Americans? Freedom? Freedom from what?

• Freedom from unwarranted search and seizure? Nope...The Patriot Act allows for entry and search in your home, and makes it a crime if you tell anyone.

• Freedom from unfair taxation? Nope. The new tax codes heavily favor the wealthy and corporations.

• Freedom of Speech? Nope...ask the guy in Ashland Oregon who was arrested for wearing an anti-bush t-shirt.

• Freedom of Elections? Nope...check our the huge disparities in vote outcomes from both the 2000 and 2004 elections, both have heavy fraud implications.

• Freedom of Movement? Nope...hear about the new National ID that is due soon? Complete with RFD chips?

• Freedom of Religion? Nope...in December 2005, Congress passed a resolution protecting Christmas for Christians. No other religion has this protection, making Christianity the 'state religion'.

• Freedom to live in your home on your own land? Nope...hear about the Emminent Domain case back East? Supreme Court said it is ok for the community to take your home away from you, if they can make more money on it than you pay in taxes.

• Freedom to own a 50cal sniper rifle that could bring down an airliner? No...er, well I guess we do have that right.

Do ya get my damn point! Whatever freedoms our founding fathers bestowed upon us are rapidly disappearing...and the American Public doesn't know or do one damn thing to stop it!

The wiretaps and this concern over prepaid Cell Phones are part of a coordinated program to further control and manipulate the American citizens.

Does the Federal Govnerment have to keep an eye out for potential terrorists? You bet. But they are watching more than foreign born people, they are following Americans who have nothing to do with Middle Eastern politics. Like vicious tyrannies the world over, the tyrants must keep track of the people to avoid any form of freedom or defiance breaking out.

Me, I'm gonna get me some of these prepaid cell phones...for emergencies...you better get em while they are still legal.
