No-Neck asks: "have you gone over the edge?"

NN,

No, and it seems that because the clip used both of them in delivering the message about the Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007, that makes the message untrue, invalid and lacking substance- at least for you.

As for it being nothing to fear or even have concern with- pay close attention to the following:

1. Go to the SPLC and see how things that you hold honorable and true are designated. Now, you may say it is just the SPLC, and you are right, but then look at what the history of the SPLC and who it influences.

2. Before any such law was even passed and done at a STATE level, an eleven (11) year old boy was taken from his home just last week by a SWAT team ramming down their door and holding EVERYONE at gunpoint. Why you may ask, because he had been knocked down, had a bruise, and the parents did not let the paramedics, which they did not call, take the boy to the hospital. The Mother, when requesting to make a phone call was denied, and then her eighteen (18) year old daughter asked if that was not one of their rights, and then a member of the SWAT team responded: "That's only in the movies."

3. Do you have ANY memory at all? As the reason I ask is just EXACTLY whom did CLINTON blame immediately after OKC? You say you have forgotten? The answer is NRA, gun owners, and talk radio. What happens when that lying bastard's wife or even any of the Repuglicrats (and no- Ron Paul is a REPUBLICAN) sits in the Oval Office?

Just understand this- the bill DOES NOT specifically state or define what or whom an extremist/extremist belief system is and that makes it entirely up to the interpreter, interpretation and/or designation of the feral government.

One question I have to ask you- how are your times in the hundred-yard dash?

FBI Wiretaps Dropped Due to Unpaid Bills
Jan 10, 12:27 PM (ET)

By LARA JAKES JORDAN

WASHINGTON (AP) - Telephone companies have cut off FBI wiretaps used to eavesdrop on suspected criminals because of the bureau's repeated failures to pay phone bills on time.

A Justice Department audit released Thursday blamed the lost connections on the FBI's lax oversight of money used in undercover investigations. Poor supervision of the program also allowed one agent to steal $25,000, the audit said.

In at least one case, a wiretap used in a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act investigation "was halted due to untimely payment," the audit found. FISA wiretaps are used in the government's most sensitive and secretive criminal investigations, and allow eavesdropping on suspected terrorists or spies.

"We also found that late payments have resulted in telecommunications carriers actually disconnecting phone lines established to deliver surveillance results to the FBI, resulting in lost evidence," according to the audit by Inspector General Glenn A. Fine.

More than half of 990 bills to pay for telecommunication surveillance in five unidentified FBI field offices were not paid on time, the report shows. In one office alone, unpaid costs for wiretaps from one phone company totaled $66,000.

The FBI did not have an immediate comment.

The report released Thursday was a highly edited version of Fine's 87-page audit that the FBI deemed too sensitive to be viewed publicly. It focused on what the FBI admitted was an "antiquated" system to track money sent to its 56 field offices nationwide for undercover work. Generally, the money pays for rental cars, leases and surveillance, the audit noted.

It also found that some field offices paid for expenses on undercover cases that should have been financed by FBI headquarters. Out of 130 undercover payments examined, auditors found 14 cases of at least $6,000 each where field offices dipped into their own budgets to pay for work that should have been picked up by headquarters.

The faulty bookkeeping was blamed, in large part, in the case of an FBI agent who pleaded guilty in June 2006 to stealing $25,000 for her own use, the audit noted.

Hit the title for the last parts of the article before it vanishes, just like the rest of our monies mentioned above...

Schneier on Security: The War on the Unexpected

November 01, 2007
The War on the Unexpected

We've opened up a new front on the war on terror. It's an attack on the unique, the unorthodox, the unexpected; it's a war on different. If you act different, you might find yourself investigated, questioned, and even arrested -- even if you did nothing wrong, and had no intention of doing anything wrong. The problem is a combination of citizen informants and a CYA attitude among police that results in a knee-jerk escalation of reported threats.

This isn't the way counterterrorism is supposed to work, but it's happening everywhere. It's a result of our relentless campaign to convince ordinary citizens that they're the front line of terrorism defense. "If you see something, say something" is how the ads read in the New York City subways. "If you suspect something, report it" urges another ad campaign in Manchester, UK. The Michigan State Police have a seven-minute video. Administration officials from then-attorney general John Ashcroft to DHS Secretary Michael Chertoff to President Bush have asked us all to report any suspicious activity.

An End To Rule By Kings

Thrity-six years ago today

I posted the following three years ago, and today it is even more relevant:

Nixon ended the Gold Standard, and today, I read this interesting piece of information.

More on FedLine Advantage can be found here.

By the by, both Nixon's act was a betrayal to his oath of office. The best example to prove this is that what took $100.00 dollars in 1971, now takes $468.40. You can find the proof here, which is the U.S. Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics tool called the Inflation Calculator. To put the above figures in context, in 1913 when the Federal Reserve Corporation was created, it took fifty-eight years for that figure of inflation to reach $100.00/$409.09. That same level of inflation (actually the figure was $411.36) was reached in 1999, only twenty-eight years later. To put succinctly, inflation is a hidden tax.

And, if the private corporation intentionally misnamed the Federal Reserve predicts that it's new web-based system is safe, just remember how "well" it does with the economy.

I also wish to point out that in 2004, it took $468.40, and today, it takes $514.32 for a decrease in the value of your "dollars" by $45.92. Now with the Chinese capable of so much because of their massive u.S. "debt" holdings, and the "Global Credit Crisis", your worth just seems so much better now, does it not?

This nation, by design since 1910, is being destroyed. I know I would like to see this course reversed and am working for the benefit of my children, and myself, to see this happen. You can too by making the choice for Ron Paul, who is not a savior, but a man wanting to see this nation proceed and succeed by what the Founding Fathers gave us and which is our birthright. If you wish to continue on the path of our destruction, which is painfully obvious, then the choice is yours.

August 6th & Tom Tancredo

Sixty-two years ago, "Little Boy" was dropped on Hiroshima and then three days later "Fat Man" did his work and World War II was effectively over.

This past weekend, Tom Tancredo said something at an Iowa debate, that I have been saying since September 12th, 2001 and stated in a post two years ago- and he is right.

Unfortunately, since we no longer elect men to run the nation, just squabbling little children- which even though grown, are no more than vain and unworthy people who are cowards, and what should be done will not happen...

The response that is right on the money:

BY MAEVEMEALONE AT 07/31/07 12:15 PM

15 female grad students just wiped enough tears from their eyes to make it down to the open office hours . They will then throw their arms around Prof. Butlers head and bury him in their sobbing bosoms. He will then utter to himself "Score!"

I leave you now, holding my sides, and laughing uncontrollably...
