Ruminate This wants you to take action against the Homeland Security Bill:
Tell me, what exactly – who exactly – is this bill meant to protect? You? Me? Our families and friends? Apparently not…with passage of this bill, the special interests will have been appeased, and those at “Homeland Security” will have the wherewithall to spy on the citizenry whenever they’re so inspired. Just imagine this as a tool of political retribution. Imagine the havoc all this secrecy will play on our elections. Imagine careers being brought to an abrupt halt on the basis of confidential evidence. Not hard to fathom, eh? Especially with folks like Vice Admiral John Poindexter running the show; the same John Poindexter who was convicted of 5 felony counts for lying before Congress and destroying evidence. I suppose this shouldn’t come as a surprise from a government which was yesterday given the Green Light to Spy by the top secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court of Review. Add Homeland Security to that mix and all of us might as well just be barcoded. Is this Twilight Zone-ish America a place you any longer recognize?
