According to the Department of Homeland Security any act of dissent against the US government either physically or written is now considered an act of terrorism. I am, right now, by simply writing this post, am committing an act of terrorism against the US government.
Long before Homeland Security ever came into existence, voicing our displeasure against the government, or putting it into writing was considered free speech protected under the Bill of Rights. Clearly Secretary Janet Napolitano, is not a fan of James Madison, who is considered to be the ‘Father of the Constitution’ and the ‘Father of the Bill of Rights’.
Since so many of you have lost the true value of what Americans should hold most dear, let me remind you of the rights that the Bill of Rights grants every one of us:
- freedom of speech,
- a free press,
- free assembly,
- free association,
- the right to keep and bear arms.
Janet Napolitano is using the contrived terror threat as justification for the announcement that your every activity is being sent to federal fusion centers, those same fusion centers have been busy defining peaceful assembly, non-violent protest and criticism of the government as domestic terrorism. According to the government’s own definition of what constitutes terrorist activity – you are a terrorist.
Homeland Security is building a gargantuan database of every website you visit, every email you send and every phone conversation you have in order to genuinely hunt down terrorists. They are doing this without our permission, they are doing this because they think they are protecting us.
The driving force behind DHS desire to define domestic terrorism is to chill political dissent and, even more sinister, to justify their funding. Their zeal in pursuing this ridiculous endeavor is labeling some very American behaviors as terrorism. Behaviors such as flying American flags, wearing Levi jeans, being nice, looking “normal” and going scuba diving have all been redefined as signs of domestic terror.
They are taking a page out of George Orwell’s book1984 by encouraging Americans to “report suspicious activity” that includes such behavior. They figure that by making people afraid to exercise their constitutional rights then the only people who do exercise their rights must be terrorists.
Did you know that law enforcement across the country are being told that informed Americans who know their rights are dangerous? Check this out for the details.
Here are just a few ‘potential signs of terrorism’:
- Displaying bumper stickers and other paraphernalia associated with the Constitutional, Campaign for Liberty, and Libertarian parties
- Supporting Congressman Ron Paul
- Supporting former presidential candidate Chuck Baldwin
- Supporting former Congressman Bob Barr
- Opposing the implementation of a North American Union
- Owning gold bullion
- Displaying historical U.S. flags
- Opposing abortion
- Talking about the documentary Zeitgeist
How ridiculous is this list? This list is much longer and is populated with so many stupid entries that it doesn’t even warrant serious consideration.
Under the new definition of what constitutes a terrorist your neighbor will be acting perfectly reasonably when they inform on you to the authorities because you rented a hotel room, used a large amount of cash, or possess a significant amount of alcohol.
This stuff has nothing to do with the defining of a domestic terrorist. It has everything to do discouraging Americans from engaging in any kind of dissent. And this is a very real and clear danger to our constitutionally guaranteed freedom of speech and assembly.
To those of you out there who believe everything this government tells you concerning the definition of a domestic terrorist and say things like ‘If you don’t do anything wrong you don’t have anything to worry about’, I want to slap some sense into you. Under the paranoid and distrustful guidance of Homeland Security, America has become a decrepit and decaying banana republic where the government tells its people to spy on each other, where everyone is a potential terrorist and will come under suspicion if they don’t rigidly conform and ensure that their behavior displays the maximum amount of fealty and subservience to the state.
Little by little citizens are surrendering their liberty to the state. Until one day it seems perfectly reasonable for us to be herded off to internment camps, for our own protection naturally. The terrorists are coming. We'll be safe under the watchful eyes of Homeland Security.
Beware ladies and gentlemen, we are all now the enemy.
