Re: FBI Raids on Anti-War Activists

Coleen Rowley, former FBI Special Agent:

The “FBI SWAT teams br[oke] down doors at 7 am Friday (Sept 24) morning and raid[ed] the homes of several anti-war leaders and activists in Minneapolis, Chicago and possibly a couple other Midwest cities.  Members of the FBI’s ‘Joint Terrorism Task Force’ spent a few hours at each Minneapolis residence, seizing personal photographs and papers, computers and cell phones as well as serving Federal Grand Jury subpoenas on the various activists.”

A summary, overall: “You can almost argue that a protest against the ‘war on terror’ is a terrorist act.”  One quote.  One mentality.  One goal (regardless of history/law).  COINTELPRO activities against “subversives” did not end with the Church Committee – and, FISA was only updated as a means of Retroactively providing Immunity to felonious crimes which took place on a national scale (as directed from the Oval Office).  “Directives” to “expose, disrupt, misdirect, discredit, or otherwise neutralize” remain – some hidden, some clear, yet obviously unabated.

“Homegrown Terrorists”:

During the Orwellian labeling, fear, and panic incitements of the Bush administration, All of us understood an overt message: You Are Under Suspicion/We Are Watching You.  ‘All of us’ included the millions who spoke out or dissented, peacefully and patriotically, against . . . the highest levels of Executive abuses.  Those oppressive and regressive measures which [purposely] made average activists feel as if they could be arrested at any time, solely because the President viewed their protests (clarified in the Constitution/Bill of Rights) as ‘unpatriotic’ expressions possibly worthy of an ‘Enemy Combatant’ designation, served, without a doubt, to enhance certain senses: Our guaranteed Freedoms and Rights are only illusionary and/or temporary (depending on who is in power/what agenda currently prevails).

HUAC, in the present (through modern scales): “The war on dissent, rather than terrorism, continue[s] full steam.”  Is it disloyal to be ashamed, and outspoken, when our country is guilty of the following? : Secret Evidence.  Secret Accusers.  Secret Locations.  Secret (Tortured Confession) Methods.  Secret Sentences.  Secrets of the State.

Is it reasonable to be covertly, as well as openly, harassed into a voiceless (submissive) acceptance of the latter?  If so, to what country are we referring?

Newt Gingrich: Obama May Hold ‘Kenyan, Anti-Colonial’ Worldview: [Alert: Code language for a “rebellious ni**er” follows.]  “What if [Obama] is so outside our comprehension, that only if you understand Kenyan, anti-colonial behavior, can you begin to piece together [his actions]?”

President Obama and his PR team did “con” the public during the last campaign – thus criticizing and lambasting what has taken place since then is appropriate, within warranted dissent and protest.  But, this level of endless “pals around with terrorists” counter-campaigning from the far-right represents the lowest level of gutter slime.  Obviously, the republicans are so mad in their quest to return to power (a power Obama has given them anyway by means of appeasement, and by being a Blue Dog champion) that they will never stop their talking points propaganda charade/parade – no matter what it takes.

The following related headlines (and a link) further represent how far they are (ACTually) willing to go in fomenting hysteria:

Another fair and balanced summary: (It would be “authentically dishonest” to summarize them, and their goals, in any other way.)
“I think [they] worked very hard at being [people] who [are] [immoral], [unreasonable], [extreme], [rigidly polar], transparent, [and] accommodating [to fellow neocons, regardless of offense] – [all] of which [is] true.”  “In the [Pravda] tradition, [they were just] being the [people] [their puppet masters] needed [them] to be in order to achieve the position[s] [they] needed to achieve.”

A&E 9/11 Truth Campaign: Building What?

David Ray Griffin, Religious Leaders for 9/11 Truth:

“Recognizing the high correlation between those who know about the collapse of WTC 7 and those who believe that a new – or rather real – 9/11 investigation is needed, I propose that the international 9/11 Truth Movement initiate, starting this September, a world-wide, year-long ‘BuildingWhat?’ campaign.  Through this campaign, we would seek to make the fact of its collapse so widely known that the mention of Building 7 would never again evoke the question: ‘Building What?’ ”
