S 1959: "Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007"
must be stopped at all costs.
must be stopped at all costs.
Sistas, Brothas & Friends:
I have placed this material on my blog because we are rapidly heading towards a fascist state for everyone. Blackfolk and Latinos already are feeling the vanguard of this state with police terror, individual and institutional racism being further embedded within US society.
Only education, mobilization for revolutionary change can counter this powerful and dangerous move by the rulingclass of this nation- be they Republicans, Libertarians or Democrats. They will try to hold onto the collapsing capitalist system by any ruthless unprincipled means at their disposal... We don't have much of a window of opportunity left to reverse this push towards a complete fascist state... I figure a five to seven years- depending on which profascist presidential candidate gets elected: Fast-trackers Giuliani or Clinton or Moderate-Trackers Obama or Edwards, for example.
I have also embedded a 29-minute video interview with Naomi Wolf- the Author of new book:
The End of America-
$13.95- Paperback

This books helps put into historical context the present-day rise of US styled fascism. And her interview is a very good summation of her work and the meaning of this present moment in our battle for real peoples' democracy in North America.

FROM my comrade- "Rolando Bini"
Pick up your phone today and contact your US Senator's office to instruct them to vote "NO" on S.1959.

If this bill is passed, and becomes law, your words and actions could be considered terrorism. S 1959 EVISCERATES FREE SPEECH, and empowers the govt. to declare ANYTHING they deem an "extremist belief system" to be a terrorist, potentially they define you a terrorist by your words which they don't like -- equate you with a mass-murderer because you disagree with administration policies --, stripping you of US citizenship and all the protections of constitutional law -- and the Supreme Court seems to have no inclination to invalidate such an act -- subjecting you to torture, and/or execution, with no habeas corpus rights, no ability to challenge even in the US Supreme Court.
They don't like being told they are murderers and thieves -- so they turn their murderous power on you for attempting to expose them -- they accuse you of "recruiting terrorism" -- terrorism now a thought crime, the thought of how nice it would be if the government did not create false-flag terror to plunder Americans and Moslems for Neocon supremacy.
This law is even worse than the Alien and Sedition Acts imposed by the Federalists (Hamiltonians) to silence the Jeffersonians. Those acts led to Shay's Rebellion. Wouldn't it be better to stop this new monster before it gets started?
Contact your Senator and let them know they will be looking for another job if they vote yes on this bill, which is now introduced into the Senate as S.1959 THIS BILL **MUST NOT** BECOME LAW, PERIOD.
HR is the House of Representatives version of the same Bill which was already passed on October 23, 2007.

If this becomes law, your words could be considered "promoting an extremist belief system", and all they have to say is that you are using PLANNED OR THREATENED *FORCE* (DOES NOT HAVE TO BE VIOLENCE) -- YOU ARE THREATENING THEM WITH POTENTIAL FORCE OF RESISTANCE BY THE PUBLIC WHEN YOU INFORM THE PUBLIC OF THEIR CRIMES, i.e., by exposing CORRUPTION, CRIMINALITY against "THE CIVILIAN POPULATION OF THE UNITED STATES, *****OR ANY SEGMENT THEREOF" ....
READ THE BILL MANY TIMES AND VERY CAREFULLY--YOU ARE THE TERRORIST (WHICH MEANS THEY CAN STRIP YOUR CITIZENSHIP, AND HAVE YOU TORTURED AND EXECUTED).

========================
Background on HR 1955:
On Oct. 23, 2007, HR 1955 the "Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007" was passed by the House with 404 members voting in favor of this blatantly unconstitutional bill. This bill is essentially a thought crime bill with wording so vague that it could easily be used against any group or person espousing dissenting views from that of the government.
WE MUST NOT LET THIS BILL BECOME LAW!!!
