America has many parts that exist as a police state. It's found in September 24, 2010 that Jason Ditz reported on Antiwar.com. He wrote that: "...the FBI is confirming that this morning they began a number of raids against the homes of antiwar activists in Illinois, Minneapolis, Michigan, and North Carolina, claiming that they are ‘seeking evidence relating to activities concerning the material support of terrorism." Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said on September 10th: "...The old view that ‘if we fight the terrorists abroad, we won’t have to fight them here’ is just that – the old view.” The new view, Napolitano said, is “to counter violent extremism right here at home.” This means that she wants to target domestic people under the guise of violent extremism. "Violent extremism" is a term used by police state proponents in order to mean whatever the government wants it to mean in order to crush dissent (that is viewed "unfavorable" in the eyes of the government). The morning's FBI's foray in the homes of American citizens of conscience is a disgrace. This means that antiwar activists (in the eyes of some means the "material support of terrorism") is equated to Vietnam era anti-war protesters with giving material support to communism. The anti-war activist Mick Kelly's home was raided. FBI raids in this fashion harass and intimidate people who organize war protests. Kelly is no threat to America, some in the FBI believe that he is. The FBI's own words show that the federal police agency and the judges who signed the warrants don't care if antiwar protesters innocently exercise their Constitutioanl rights. To the feds, they are unpatriotic people giving material support to terrorism. "Material support" is another of these undefined police state terms. To some in the government, if you dont' believe in the government's lies and want to protest against unjust policies, the government could declare you an enemy (protesting against evil isn't treason. It's an expression of our civil liberties). Real terrorists aren't people like Kelly. Kelly will probably not go into jail. Yet, the FBI finds meails and promote terrorism paranoia constantly. The Bush and Obama regimes have anti-liberty policies that are approved by corrupt federal judges. Protesters who have been compromised by fake terrorist groups can be called "enemy combatants" and sent off into Eygpt, Poland, etc. (to be tortured until confession is forthcoming). Every critic of the U.S. government are not some terrorist. Many Republicans and neo cons will agree with an Irnaian war if it comes, while complain that their Social Security was cut in the interest of war (or they could lack Medicare when wars in Central Asia ocntinue). The neo-cons support the corrupt Oligarcial govenrment instead of the Constitution. They view civil liberites with disdain and believe in the slander that civil liberties will encourage criminals plus terrorists. The U.S. mainstream media is highly monopolistic, while the independent media is more diverse. Political witch hunts are nothign new and it's still going on today (now it's against Muslims and other minority communities). As the Nazi leader Joseph Goebbels said, “think of the press as a great keyboard on which the Government can play.” The police state in America used 9/11 as a pretext to control us further. We have to be educate, so all of us won't be gullible to the ways of the world. Jingoistic patriotism and ignorance are vices. As another Nazi leader Herman Goering said, “ The people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. Tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peace-makers for lack of patriotism and for exposing the country to danger.” This is what some people in the Bush and Obama regimes have done. They have used the attacks in Pakistan as an excuse to harm dissent in this country. People have the right to disagree with this evil.
Politics is important to learn about and discuss. Yet, many Christians are 100% right that even politics can't save souls or the nation ultimately. Some people learn about politics and participate in political activism. It's fine to help out our fellow man in legitimate causes and fulfill our spiritual obligations to. there are those who embrace Ecumenicalism and political extreme rhetoric as found in Glenn Beck's Third Reformation, etc. Politics though can't totally save America, becuase political have been one of the foundational reasons why the nation is experiencing certain problems. Even the mainstream CNP-infiltated conservative movement have existed since the 1970's. They haven't changed the moral climate of Americna society. There are some depraved people out there. Abortion, the vile popular culture, etc. have damaged society. Some people exploit homosexuality (whether you agree with it or not) not as a means to promote rights, but to promote fetishes and hypocrisy among people. The fear of God is very laxly preached in the pulpits too. Many mainstream conservative and liberal movement don't talk about the issues of population control, austerity, and spiritual deception either from the pulpits since some of them lack spiritual discernment. It was that renowned conservative president Ronald Reagan who launched U.S.-Vatican relations to a new height. Under his administration formal diplomatic relationships were established between the U.S. and the Vatican. In 1986 Reagan sent a telegram to the Pope commending his wicked syncretistic prayer meeting in Assisi that brought together leaders of Christian denominations and pagan religions to pray for world peace. Reagan exhibited his spiritual blindness by thanking the Pope for his efforts to “lead humanity toward a more tolerant, just and peaceful world” and assured the Mariolator of his prayers (Christian News, Dec. 22, 1986). Ronald Reagan meant with the Pope in an unprecendented move in Miami back in November of 1987. Conservatives and liberals don't have some monopoly on spiritual truth at all. The Tea Party is a conservative/libertarian movement. They legitimately agree with individual rights, but deny the need to promote the general welfare of the people. They want to destroy public school, but agree with the existence of a public military industrial complex system. So, some of them embrace many contradictions. Some of them agree with the pop culture madness. The most important thing isn't to be malleable to Republicans, Democrats, or the Tea party movement. The most important thing is to get our moral and spiritual house in order, help people, and get on God's side to create a better world.
The clinic run by the doctor who killed a woman in a failed aboriton halts abortions. The abortion business is question is run by Maryland based abortion pracititioner Romeo A. Ferrer. He's been under fire involving a case of a woman he killed in a failed abortion. That has at least temporarily halted abortions and may close. Ferrer is perhaps closing his Severna Park, Maryland abortion center after a 10 year campaign from dedicated pro-life organizaitons. The Maryland Board of Physicians suspended his medical license, but pro-life advocates were hoping for moe. They got a partial answer when they learned yesterday that Dynecare Center is not scheduling new appointments and does not have an abortion pracititioner to replace Ferrer. Defend Life Director Ames told Lifenews.com staff about indications that they (or Ferrer and company) are closing the facility. Ferrer had recruited another Maryland physician (named Ghevont Wartanian) to continue abortions. Yet, he has been sued over 18 times for malpractice and negligence for incidents ranging from the death of newborn babies to causing brain damage and a host of other medical mistakes. Ames says it appears that Wartanian or a doctor of obstetrics and gynceology has abandoned the idea of supplementing his income by doing abortions. Wartanian contacted Gynecare one day after the 40 Day for Life vigil was moved to his Glen Burnie, Maryland, OB-GYN medical practice. Ames indicated that Wartanian instructed Gynecare to cancel all of his existing appointments, and informed them he would not be returning to the facility. "We are grateful for the news that Gynecare has closed its doors and will no longer be murdering innocent babies in their mothers' wombs. This is a great first step regarding abortionist Ferrer; we now have to continue to pressure the Maryland Board of Physicians to permanently revoke Ferrer's license," Ames told LifeNews.com. Ames say local pro-life advocates are anxiously awaiting news whether Gynecare is closed for good or just temporarily until Ferrer can find another abortion practitioner. The complaint against Ferrer revolves around a February 2006 abortion he did on a 21 year old African American woman named Denise Crowe (ast Gynecare Center in Severna Park). The woman sought a second trimester dilation and evacuation abortion procedure, but it eventually claimed Crowe's life and left her 3 year old son without a mother. Ferrer is accused of failing to properly administer pain medications, failing to monitor the patient's respiration and ventilation, and failing to emplo standard methods of care to resuscitate the patient. He is accused of giving her a fatal overdose of meperidine, which is a narcotic also known as Demerol. The case was stagnant for years until the Maryland Board of Physcians in April, filed a petition against Ferrer. This was done for the "failure to meet the standard of quality care" in his negligent treatment of Crowe that resulted in her death. That case is still under consideration and could take months to resolve.
There is a covert war in Pakistan by the United States government. On September 25, three missiles were fired from an U.S. Predator drone killed 4 people near the capital of Waziristan in Pakistan's Federaly Administered Tribal areas. This is at least the 16th such attack in the country so far this month. In September of 2010, there has been the largest amount of American unmanned aerial vehicle drone attacks in Pakistan. The most deaths resulting from them of nay month in the 9 year war that was waged by the USA and its NATO allies in Afghanistna. the deadliest month preceding this one in January of 2010 had 11 missile strikes. They were directed by the CIA's Special Activities unit in Pakistan. In September last year, there were 6 missile strikes. In 2009, there were 53 drone attacks. In 2010 so far, there have been almost 75 drone attacks. The estimated death toll from the strikes for last year was 709. In less than 9 months this year, there has been close to 650. If the annual or September's monthly rate continues, 2010 can be the deadliest year to just as this month is already the deadliest month. The amount of fatalities this year may been substantially higher except for the catastrophic flooding in Pakistan (it started in late July and caused the confirmed deaths of at least 1,500 people). The flood cuased the destruction of 1 million homes and the displacement of millions of Pakistanis. The indulation and the damage didn't affect the main target of the U.S. drone attacks in North Waziristan and South Waziristan. There were only 5 unmanned aerial vehicle attacks in July and 4 in August. There has been at least 4 times more strikes and almost strikes and almost the same ratio of death this month than in the preceding one. It's hard to determine the number of fatalities than of the number of Hellfire missiles fired by U.S Predator drone (in reliable figures). The calculations for both are provided on a daily basis by the webite of the New America Foundation and by a Wikipedia page on the subject. The drone assassination process has been supported by the Obama administration. There has been thousands of deaths via the drone attacks. The approximately 1,800 people killed in Pakistan by drone attacks are invariably referred to in the Western press as armed militants belonging to outfits affiliated with al-Qaeda, members of Pakistani Taliban and allied formations like the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan of Baitullah Mehsud (killed with his wife and in-laws in a drone strike in August of 2009), Lashkar al-Zil and Lashkar-e-Jhangvi and veteran Afghan Mujahedin organizations such as the Haqqani network and Hezb-e-Islami Gulbuddin, ethnic Arab fighters, and members of the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan and the Turkistan Islamic Party (al-Hizb al-Islami al-Turkistani), the last claiming to be fighting for the liberation of what it calls East Turkistan - that is, China's Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. The commander of all U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan is named General Stanley McChrystal wanted a surge in U.S. and NATO forces in the interim. Last year, the strikes were in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (until this April the North-West Frontier Province). In 2009 the New York Times reported that leading American government officials were "proposing to broaden the missile strikes to Baluchistan," on Iran's southeast border. The drone attacks made the people in South Waziristan to have fear as well. They occur abitratilly. Innocent Pakistanis have died in the drone attacks as well. The government claimed that they want to kill Al-Qaeda, taliban, and the Haqqani network. Yet, many civilians have died in over 1,800 people (most peopel died in the missile strikes were civilians).
The leadership of the NRA (not all NRA members) sold out on gun rights many years ago. It's been found that the NRA supports the frivolous mircostamping, Evaluation, and Study Act. One person told the truth in this quote: “Laws that forbid the carrying of arms, disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes.” -Cesare Beccaria. This a time of high unemployment and home foreclosures. The NRA as decided to support a bill that according to their own fact sheet maybe be a waste of taxpayers' money. On July 1, 2010, Representative Dan Boren (D-Okla.) introduced HR. 5667 or the Firearms, Microstamping, Evaluation and Study Act. The bill would require a study to figure out to determine if a low cost and reliable form of microstamping could be incorporated into the manufacturing of a firearm. Gun control advocates believe that microstamping technology mixes with a registration list (or guns and their owners) would form a rapid identification system for firearms used in crime. A 2006 University of California (Davis) study found that the laser cutting of the firing pin was feasible, but the resulting stamping was inconsistent. Mircostamping is about using a laser to cut identifying marks into the tip of a gun's firing pin or other internal surfaces. When a gun is fired, the firing pin strikes the cartridge primer leaving an indentation in the primer. Anti-gunners believe that this striking action by the firing pin or other internal part could be used to stamp an identifier into the primer or case that would then be used to identify the guns owner. The University of California (Davis) study showed that the vast majority of the marks left in the primer were unreadable. Other studies by the firearms industry found similar results. Why is the NRA supporting a bill their own fact sheet suggests is a waste of money. It's ironic. Congress have funded studies in the past the concluded that gun control schemes were frivolous and counter productive. Studies from the Treasury Department, National Academy of Sciences and the Center for Disease Control have proven that gun bans and ammo bans simply do not work and create an undue burden on gun owners and law enforcement. One study from the Urban Institute on the 1994 assault weapons ban, found that semi-auto type firearms covered by the 1994 ban were rarely used to commit crime. Some believe that the NRA may hope to put the idea of microstamping in the trash heap of Congressional studies. Yet, the American people can't fund frivolous studies. Our nation is in debt. According to Bob Chapman, unemployment is covertly at 21+%. The American people would be best served to call on the NRA to repeal gun control laws (that violate individual rights of innocent gun owners) than spending taxpayer dollars for frivolous studies. Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership has a new documentary film available on the web that exposes the Dangerous ignorance and hypocrisy of “gun controllers.”
