Constitutional Rights vs. Homeland Security



WCAX News
October 13, 2008


The debate over border security, civil liberties, and counterterrorism took center stage at the University of Vermont Monday.

  • Obama - The Postmodern Coup

UVM and the Vermont District Court organized a forum on constitutional rights in the homeland security era. Former federal prosecutor for Vermont George Terwilliger took part in the forum. He points to the 1987 incident in Richford, in which 3 Lebanese-Canadians were arrested for smuggling a bomb across the border, as proof that even a small state like Vermont is not immune from dangerous international security situations.


“In addition to that, Vermonters, like all Americans, are touched by whatever undertakings the government has to engage in in order to fight terrorism. And that’s where this tension between civil liberties and counterterrorism comes up. I think you see it now in controversy over enhanced border security: towns like Derby Line, where people for generations have crossed freely and things are tightened up a little bit,” Terwilliger said.


Some Americans have complained that certain personal freedoms have been limited after 9/11. But Terwilliger says steps like government wiretapping are still relatively rare and that the debate is over how much moves like that can benefit the greater good.

Goldman Sachs Socialism



Consortium News
October 13, 2008


With world markets verging on panic, the G-7, the group of leading industrialized economies, met over the weekend to take drastic action to prop up the banking system.


The emergency meeting underscored the failure of the Bush/Paulson Wall Street bailout plan to stanch the financial bleeding, despite White House rhetoric and the support of key Democrats, including Barack Obama.

As news analyst Pepe Escobar notes, top economists have criticized the mechanics of the Bush/Paulson plan, which concentrates power on Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and his former Goldman Sachs colleagues. There are also questions about how systemic issues contribute to the crisis, including the half-trillion-dollar U.S. budget deficit and U.S. military spending to support two wars.

rise up Rochester Says:


This is a pretty fair review of the film. If Bermas had made all of the recommended changes, however, the film would have been hours longer and would have completely inundated the novice viewers. Compromises must be made and I feel that Bermas made a wise choice not to compromise the truth. We have distributed 200 copies of this film so far around Rochester and hope to do more in the coming weeks. Well done


 


Paul Michael Owens Says:


Fabled Enemies is a perfect video exposing the truth behind the OTHER aspects of 9/11. There are tons of people guilty of TREASON. It’s too bad that America does not know how to stand up for itself. All elected officials should be voted out of office for not participating and pushing the Impeachment of Bush and Cheney. Unfortunately that leaves Nancy Peloski as President, but it’s a broad statement that just because you are President, you are not above the law.


If you have not seen the film, it is a must watch! Great review!
