Just In Time For the Patriot Act Renewal!
I'm going to unload. I'm angry beyond words about "counter-terrorism" and "homeland security" - partly due to logic, partly due to my personal experiences with these incompetents.
We have two enemies of freedom here: Muslim extremists and a federal government all to happy to tighten down the screws on the American People under any excuse.
I'll reveal to you the real reason behind the Patriot Act and how this was not designed to increase your safety, but to increase power in Washington. Then the apparent incompetence of Janet Napolitano will make sense. Once you realize the real motivation behind homeland security, her actions will become crystal clear.
A few facts about the underwear bomber.
Ever try to fly internationally without a passport? That is what this guy did, apparently with the help of a well-heeled and fast-talking accomplice. Oh, and of course this fellow was on a terrorist list. His own family squealed to the authorities about him. No baggage and a one-way ticket paid for with cash. Good God, what does a Nigerian Muslim need to do to get someone to take notice?!!
TSA and international security are loathe to typecast Muslim passengers, and so this scum slipped by. Think about that the next time you see a grandmother being felt-up by the local airport gestapo.
Here's another odd fact: a passenger was videotaping the whole flight, then calmly stood when the flames erupted and continued filming to the bitter end.
80g of explosive to bring down an airliner? A primary explosive that burns like a road flare? Please!
I'm sure the mainstream media will tell you that a car can be completely destroyed with only 80g. What they won't tell you is that it usually is placed on the gas tank, where the gasoline does the "heavy lifting". This Nigerian was not in a position to place the explosive on the fuel bulkhead. It was around his huevos rancheros.
I'm completely skeptical about this being a credible terrorist effort. Either the Nigerian was incompetent (quite possible) or something else is afoot...
Where there is smoke, there's a fire.
Remember the anthrax attack and how it shut down Congress? What were they debating at the time? Yes, the Patriot Act. Now they are looking to renew the Act (which has been given a three month extension) and lo and behold, a flaming terrorist arrives. How convenient.
Remember the feds harassing Dr. Hatfill all those years about the anthrax? They backed off, paid him handsomely and then placed the blame on a dead government scientist on the East coast. Again, how convenient.
You can't work as many years as I have in the government and not make some interesting friends and contacts.
A contact told me, from his position in counter-terrorism, the most likely suspect was at Dugway Proving Ground in Utah. He called some of the bureaucrats that worked there "unstable" - from his personal interaction with them.
What we find when we poke around many of these terrorist acts is that the Feds usually have a guy on the inside, many times providing the necessary expertise and hardware. I reference the first World Trade Center bombing. Research who provided the explosive ingredients. Have a jaw-sling handy, your jaw may hit the floor.
Ditto for the Oklahoma City bombing. The ATF had at least one informant telling them about what McVeigh was preparing to do. How odd no ATF agents were injured - their office was empty at the time of the blast.
I have long suspected that these agencies track, and even allow a few of these terrorist acts to increase their power and control. Isn't that what we accused King George of 234 years ago? "He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us..."
What I'm trying to get at here is for you to be very skeptical about these terrorist acts and watch how the government is more than happy to clamp down on your freedoms.
Ah, the Patriot Act.
Just one month after 9/11, amidst the anthrax scare, a telephone-book sized "Patriot Act" arrived at Congress. Few read it before voting. I've helped prepare similar federal budgetary proposals in the past; a telephone book sized document takes many months of multi-agency review before being presented at the highest levels. Ergo, the document had been prepared before 9/11 and was awaiting cut-and-paste to bring it current.
Are you aware that only a small percentage of investigations that use the Patriot Act involve terrorism?
I read recently that the combined terrorist watch list is close to 1,000,000 names. A few years ago another contact confided to me that the actual list was an order of magnitude larger - at that time the list was claimed to have only 400,000 names - but in actuality had 4 million individuals on it. Truth be told, some of those names are aliases. But it does go to indicate the level of paranoia our federal security organs have.
I remember Ashcroft telling us, with fear in his eyes, of 4,000 Muslim sleeper agents lurking within the United States. Think about that for a minute. Let's say these were very lazy terrorists, inclined to one terrorist act every four years. That would be 1,000 terrorist acts per year, or three per day. Perhaps I've been sleeping, but I don't recall anywhere that many. Oh, I'm sorry, the FBI is so competent they have a handle on them all. Please!
We are being played, pure and simple.
Never mind the fat Napoleonitano behind the curtains.
I believe that purpose of "homeland security" is to condition us to a severe reduction in freedoms. The real enemy of those elitists in power is not some underwear bomber. It's you. You hold the reins to their power.
What are those reins? What I'm doing now, the first amendment. The voting process. The second amendment. The jury of our peers. Constitutional rights, checks and balances.
Regarding the underwear bomber, Janet Napolitano first said the system seemed to work as planned. That was the most truthful thing she has said in the last eleven months. The system wasn't designed to find Abdul the Terrorist; it was designed to slowly take your freedoms, one liberty at a time.
Using terror as a pretext, this is what your tax dollars have been paying for in the name of homeland security:
- Email being handed over for data-mining and profiling
- Internet activity being logged
- What library books have been checked out
- Telephone conversation recording (CALEA) and archiving
- Bank records open to any federal investigator with only a writ of assistance (no judge involved)
- Travel monitoring / profiling
- A 4th Amendment - free zone 100 miles from any U.S. border
- I worked at a satellite development center when DHS came and asked if we could design a domestic imaging satellite for them!
And many other infringements. No need to worry, you have nothing to hide if you are not a Muslim extremist, tea party protester, Constitutionalist, gun owner, blogger...
The federal government knows well who the real enemy is, and I must give the devil due for throwing such a wide net over all of us.
What can you do?We have two enemies of freedom here: Muslim extremists and a federal government all to happy to tighten down the screws on the American People under any excuse.

Give 'em hell! Every time I get harassed by airport security, or come across some goon with a federal badge, I raise their blood pressure to the point they almost put me in cuffs. Three examples:
- While traveling through LAX I saw a wheelchair bound citizen being felt-up by some TSA thugs. I looked one of these goons in the eye and said, "Boy, he really fits the profile, doesn't he?!!" The thug looked at me with eyes that would kill if given a chance.
- While traveling through Arizona, far from the border, I was pulled over by an INS vehicle. An agent came out and demanded I answer all sorts of questions; I told him pointedly that my SUV was empty, no Mexicans here, and that his authority had limits. After waiting five minutes I walked aggressively back to the INS vehicle to tell him I was leaving the scene; the driver actually began to back away before stopping and cracking the driver's window into which I cast my invectives.
- On leaving for an overseas trip I was accosted by U.S. Treasury agents and had my luggage searched at the boarding gate of LAX. They said they were looking for large sums of money leaving the country and subjected me to all sorts of questions and indignities. They found nothing. When I returned to the States I convinced a white sorcerer to lay a curse on those evil agents. It's amazing what kind of people you meet in Los Angeles!
So What can you do? Give 'em hell. Let them know you are not their property, that you are an American Citizen!
