Telling the Truth Is About To Be Criminalized

By peter chamberlin

Discussion of Homegrown Terrorist Act and the issue of thought-crimes, including the motives of its promoters.

::::::::

Senate bill, S. 1959, The “Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007,”  <click here >  is being rushed through Congress to identify all Americans who have an “extremist belief system,” as “homegrown terrorists,” charging them with “radicalization,” for “advancing political, religious, or social change” by spreading their extremist beliefs. 

If you are trying to change this messed-up world with your radical educational actions (even if they are pacifist in nature) you will be guilty of “facilitating ideologically-based violence,” for which you can be prosecuted.  If you share your unapproved thoughts with other people and make them think like you do, then all of you are liable to be hauled-off for thought-crimes.  Passage of this legislation to control the thoughts and communications of dissident Americans makes clear why our government needed to build all those “FEMA camps.”     http://www.freedomfiles.org/war/fema.htm

The purpose of the radical proposal is to

“...study the social, criminal, political, psychological, and  economic roots of violent radicalization and homegrown terrorism in the United States and methods that can be used by homeland security officials of Federal, State, local, and tribal governments to mitigate violent radicalization and homegrown terrorism.”

The reason given for needing this new thought-crime legislation:

“The potential rise of self radicalized, unaffiliated terrorists domestically cannot be easily prevented through traditional Federal intelligence or law enforcement efforts, and requires the incorporation of State and local solutions.”

This disclaimer is given, in case anyone thinks that this bill targets radical Islamists:            

“Individuals prone to violent radicalization, homegrown terrorism, and ideologically based violence span all races, ethnicities, and religious beliefs,  and individuals should not be targeted based solely on race, ethnicity, or religion.”

An example of an “extremist belief system” is the belief that our government answers to a secret higher authority than the American majority. qualifies you as an “extremist.”  Believing that “vast, powerful, evil forces are secretly manipulating events,” according to the US State Department, in their pamphlet, “How to Identify Misinformation.”  <http://usinfo.state.gov/media/Archive/2005/Jul/27-595713.html  >    

Simply doubting the “official version” of violent events, like 9/11, the Kennedy assassinations (John, Bobby, or John Jr.), Oklahoma City bombing, or the downing of Flight 800, is extremism.  <click here >     

This government propaganda also identifies Rense.com is one of the worst purveyors of misinformation.  Here are the guidelines given by Big Brother for checking a story’s truthfulness: 

  • Does the story fit the pattern of a conspiracy theory?
  • Does the story fit the pattern of an “urban legend?”
  • Does the story contain a shocking revelation about a highly controversial issue?
  • Is the source trustworthy?
  • What does further research tell you?

According to another State Dept. release, if you even suggest that our government, or the Israelis had a hand in the 9/11 attacks, you are helping to spread disinformation that comes directly from al Qaida:

“Equally as worrisome is that the Internet, once regarded as an engine for education and enlightenment for the world, has become an essential means for the dissemination of terrorist propaganda, hate, and incitement to violence—purveying the coarsest and most base conspiracy theories with a pervasiveness that is completely divorced from reality. For instance, despite al-Qaida’s own repeated claims of responsibility for the September 11, 2001, attacks and even the dissemination of “martyrdom” videotapes made by the hijackers discussing the forthcoming attacks, Web sites associated with the jihadist movement regularly post assertions that the United States or Israel carried out the attacks themselves to justify a war on terrorism that was always intended to be a “war on Islam.” <http://usinfo.state.gov/journals/itps/0507/ijpe/ijpe0507.pdf  >   A Form of Psychological Warfare - Bruce Hoffman

According to the “homegrown” thought-crime bill:

“Certain governments, including the Government of the United Kingdom, the Government of Canada, and the Government of Australia have significant experience with homegrown terrorism and the United States can benefit from lessons learned by those nations.”

Under the Canadian Human Rights Act, it is a hate crime to merely make public statements that might be “likely to incite hatred or contempt,” for certain minorities. <http://www.rense.com/general77/charged.htm  >

Hate Crimes Prevention Act of 2007 (S.1105) is America’s version of Canada’s law. Senate bill 1105 and the Homegrown Terrorism Act are riders attached to this year’s defense authorization bill, HR 1585, now being fought out in Congress.  Abraham H. Foxman, of B’nai Brith’s Anti-Defamation League (ADL) is doing everything in his power to do to America what the ADL helped to do to Canada. 

"We urge Congress to promptly enact this essential legislation, which would strengthen federal hate crime laws by authorizing the Justice Department to assist local authorities in investigating and prosecuting bias-motivated crimes," said, ADL National Director.  "This bill would give law enforcement important tools to combat bias-motivated crime.  Federal support will help to ensure that these hate crimes are investigated and prosecuted."  <http://adl.org/PresRele/HatCr_51/5020_51.htm  >    The ADL is pressing for special rights for homosexuals, as a backdoor approach to banning all “bias-motivated” “hate crimes.”   

According to a study published by the U.S. Senate Republican Policy Committee (July 15, 2003), a “hate crimes” bill sponsored by Sen. Ted Kennedy threatens to undermine and interfere with local law enforcement efforts.   Under this bill, every crime that has the potential of being a “hate” crime will be federalized and federal prosecutors will freely intervene in local law enforcement efforts... This “hate crimes” language will criminalize the thoughts of those who commit the crime...This legislation puts criticism of these deviant sexual behaviors in the same category as racism, misogyny, and anti-Semitism.

“The bill declares that moral disapproval to be inappropriate and unacceptable. It condemns the religious beliefs of devout Christians, Jews, and Muslims who strongly believe in the teachings of their faiths, and it delegitimizes their reservations about homosexuality and unorthodox sexual practices by equating those reservations with the racist views of Nazis or Klansmen.”  http://www.traditionalvalues.org/pdf_files/HateCrimes.pdf

The object of the “hate crimes” bill is to equate gay-bashing with Jew-bashing, plain and simple.  Whenever righteous moral outrage for the brutal slaying of young Matthew Shepherd (for whom the hate crimes bill is named) moves Congress to establish special protection for homosexuality, ADL has ensured that that special protection will apply to Israeli Zionism, as well.  It will then be illegal to criticize Israeli actions in its completion of the colonization of the Palestinian territories, and the Israel Lobby’s subversive actions to dominate the US government’s foreign policies.  Mearsheimer and Walt, look out!  Your excellent work is about to be banned.

 In “Why...the Anti-Defamation League Support[s] Pro-Gay ‘Hate Crimes’ Legislation,”  <http://www.cfnews.org/ADL.htm  >   John Vennari finds part of the answer  in Tom Wolfe’s I Am Charlotte Simmons, in a passing comment on two Jewish men with opposing political beliefs:

“Both believed in abortion, not so much because they thought anyone they knew might want an abortion as because legalizing it helped put an exhausted and dysfunctional Christendom and its weird, hidebound religious restraints in their place.”

He cites a recent book by Rabbi James Rudin, The Baptizing of America: The Religious Right’s Plans for the Rest of Us, where Rabbi Rudin decries the

“specter haunting America ... the specter of our nation ruled by the extreme Christian Right who would make the United States a ‘Christian Nation’, wherein their version of God’s Law supersedes all human law – including the Constitution...more than any other force in the world today, is the immediate and profound threat to our republic.

Rubin refers to this conflict as a war, calling it “the most significant internal struggle since the Civil War.”

The Zionist imperative to nullify religious moral values runs much deeper than their attacks upon Christianity.  According to neoconservative icon Leo Strauss, the carefully crafted  myth, that Zionism’s singular goal was “the...negation of exile,” was a fraud. In his review of Freud’s Future Of An Illusion   <click here >   Strauss confessed that they had harbored another equally important objective of proving that “the power of religion has been broken.”    

Zionism is an atheistic plan to put an end to religion, by elevating the powerful elite to equals with God, placing them into the seats of power that religions teach belong solely to God, or to His chosen representatives.  By demonstrating that they have replaced God, they will be seen as gods.  Zionism is the modern name for the original ancient plot by evil men to usurp the Creator.  Pretending that Zionism’s re-creation of the state of Israel by force is the work of God, allows Israelis to lay claim to the title of “God’s Chosen,” a name reserved by the Most High for the remnant of Jewish true believers, who remain faithful to Him until He calls them.
