The Patriot Act has failed to be extended in the newly Republican House. In what has to just be a coincidence, DHS chief Janet Napolitano is pimping a heightened terror attack threat once more.
The Patriot Act is the most severe attack upon the civil liberties of Americans since the Alien and Sedition Act. With this law still in effect, the Constitution is just a bunch of words printed on a fading piece of paper. This law enables the Federal government to have rolling wiretaps, conduct searches with a warrant written by a federal agent, implant listening devices in your home without any notification, lock you in prison without habeas corpus and if you say anything to anybody they’ll lock your ass up indefinitely.
Government coerces you to accept its power through the barrel of a gun. The more power it gets, the more oppressive its demands become. The more oppressive its demands become, bigger and bigger do their guns become.
If you believe that the United States government only has your best interests at heart I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you. They may say they are protecting you from Habib Mubopbop. Reality dictates they are grabbing more power away from you so they can accrue even more into their hands; standard operating procedure for government.
Because of the degradation of intelligence in society, they can grab more power with little to no opposition. You want to repeal this law? Well, that smelly goat herder over there wants to blow up your city and cut your head off. By the way, your girlfriend sounded hot last night. Hope she’s not pregnant.
I have never trusted these elevated terror “threats” the DHS sends out whenever something happens that is not to their liking. Patriot Act is defanged? Terror attack imminent! Pro-freedom candidates are going to win an election? Terror attack imminent!
These terror warnings are nothing but Chicken Little cries that the sky is falling. They have to produce no evidence to the public to justify these warnings. Since these warnings are convenient to the national security establishment, they make them up whole from cloth. What better way to get people to voluntarily give up freedom than to stick the threat of imminent demise in their face? No threat imminent? Make it up! They’re just sheep anyway!
In reality, these false terror threats are meant to illicit a Pavlovian response in the populace. If you do something enough, your subject will eventually do whatever it is you want on a certain prompt. If the government keeps on saying a terror attack is imminent unless the people give up even more rights, people will keep on following that prompt until they are packed in concentration camps.
We live in a police state. I would much rather face the threat of dying in a terrorist attack than be a slave my whole life.
Janet Napolitano and the whole national ‘security’ establishment is scared to death of the Patriot Act not passing. The Patriot Act is the biggest threat to your liberties ever devised. Having no rights, having no freedom is what the government needs. When a society is free government has no power. That is why they must take it away. Otherwise, what use is a useless government to professional bureaucrats? It is worth naught.
I am trying not to sound like a pessimist. I do see some positives coming down the creek. The American people are wising up. They no longer hold up what their government says as sacred writ. The office of the President has been wholly delegitimized. Distrust of government is at a historical new high. And it seems the new Tea Party class of Republicans in Congress is following the Constitution like they said they would.
There is one more hurdle for the expiration of the Patriot Act to go through. The Senate must vote to not extend this bill and kill it like it should have been killed almost ten years ago.
America can’t wait. The Patriot Act must be sent to the dustbins of history.
