On an unrelated note, in recent times I've seen more people being pulled over and searched than I ever have before. Just 20 minutes ago i saw sheriffs pulling someone over and they had bullet proof vests on and such. Anyhow, the other day this guy got pulled over in front of our house, the police harassed him and cuffed him, took him to their car, questioned him, searched his car, pulled out a pair of scissors and put it on the hood like it's "Evidence" then talked to him some more, released him and he took some needed stuff out of his car while they sent it off to impound. He didn't have a license. You coulda been killing someone with those scissors, son. |

Secondly, what has led you to believe that people are really concerned over the NSA spying program? What are you basing this off of? |

Even it's all true that the police force has increased, its most likely a farce that homeland security is all that concerned about our saftey and our security unless Rummy starts wearing lipsticks and mini skirts as part of covert operation to keep coppers in check, then I'll be shocked. |

It's not just the fact that someone is watching you, if you take it for face value no big deal. But just imagine how "how many drinks you take" can be spun when someone wants to put you away. It's a terribly pesimistic view of how the world runs, though. Not everyone is out to get you. But I also don't think that having that any human will manage that type of information or power well. |

| Zhukov | ASIO chief in Australia recentley stated that Australians were not worried enough by terrorism as they should be, and that ASIO would be stepping up their eforts to make people more concerned. | |

its not the nazi thing. i really have begun to believe we are being fooled. like, no matter how aware you think you are, the government is pulling off some fucktackular shit that you will never know about until it is all too late. like the big lie, "i hit a deer", when you actually should be saying "i hit a deer while shooting up, and drinkining, and having my illegal imigrant prostitute preform oral services, just after spending all our money on fireworks and nipple rings" and it just makes me weary. |

Yeah it's just that I feel compelled to compare the bush admin to the nazi regime. There are a lot of striking similitaries between the two. Think about it, regardless of whoever you think did 9/11, it gave bush the justification to do whatever he wants just as the reichstag fire, whom the communists were first blamed, gave hitler the throne. But I'll take your word for it, cuz you know a lot more about the nixon era than I do. It's also more comforting to think that way heh. The population in America is too large and there are too many people who would never allow the bush admin to take a stranglehold of their lives so I'm not worried about it. I agree with george, I could give two shits if I'm being spied on. I have nothing to hide and it doesn't make me paranoid. In fact, whoever is spying on me is the paranoid one. |

It's not like the Nazis, it's like the Nixon administration. A lot like it. Now, I'll take the Nixon administration over the Holocaust any day. But I'm still pretty sure that doesn't mean Nixon was a good president. And George, aside from wasting time and money and pissing on some of the things that sometimes make this country better than others, as long as all they do is listen to and watch you, it isn't a huge deal. Except for the part where they spend so much time doing bullshit they totally miss larger stuff. But when the FBI 'watches' the group that protests the School of The Americas and labels them a potential terrorist threat, that's chilling. Because they are moving toward taking the political divide in the country and laying the groundwork to make one side criminal. Now so far in America the pendulum has generally managed to swing the other way before this sort of shit got too out of hand. Unless you were Japanese during WWII or a pinko in the fifties nothing much ever happened to you. My own parents were on the parger Nixon list, and while we had a van parked outside our house on a rewgular basis during the Month or so they organized protests against the ABM site being built in our town it was never a big deal. But there's always a first time. I still believe in America, and I don't think a real, dangerous assault on our freedoms would ever work. But I think this gang is dumb enough to try. And I think, like a rabid dog, teh could do a lot of damage before they got put down. |

i ask this honestly, not to be a smart ass: who cares? even if the whole police state thing is true, what does it matter? so what if they monitor how much porn i watch, or drinks i take? i obey laws as i see fit, i do what i please, and rarely does any rule or law really effect me. |

Yea, I need to keep with the times what am I thinking I should know these things so I know who to exterminate for being a part of an evil religion. I don't really listen to the radio unless I'm in the car, and I don't want to pay for a newspaper. I get a mexican newspaper, though, once a month. |

A plot was uncovered concerning an al-Qaeda trained jihadi that filled a car with explosives and was traveling through Canada towards LAX. Maybe its the same one. |

| Abcdxxxx | Then just pretend old fashioned newspapers, and AM radio are alternative forms of media, in that case. | |

| kahljorn | I don't have cable so i guess nobody needs really needs mainstream media. | |

Who needs that mainstream media anyway? Just bunker down in Ukiah with your "I put the INFO in informed" t-shirt, and think pretty thoughts. At least Geggy had the rare opportunity to talk about Nazis. |

weird. you'd think a major news source would have picked up on that one, right? http://www.npr.org/templates/story/s...toryId=4827724 http://losangeles.fbi.gov/dojpressre...a083105usa.htm http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/...ror-plot_x.htm abcnews.go.com/WNT/Investigation/ story?id=1042853&page=1 http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...081601468.html http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...083102010.html www.msnbc.msn.com/id/9148467/ www.wtopnews.com/index.php?nid=251&sid=596168 www.californiachronicle.com/ articles/viewArticle.asp?articleID=2231 edition.cnn.com/2005/LAW/08/31/terror.charges/ seattletimes.nwsource.com/ html/nationworld/2002463377_terror01.html www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1474572/posts www.nbc4.tv/news/4921815/detail.html |

Kahl...I'm glad you caught that too, cuz I was thinking the same. Reminded me of the time recently in which Bush announced that a terror attack attempt in L.A. by using planes was thwarted in '02 and the mayor of L.A. never heard such thing. So it could be bs info to justify the upscaling of police state. I've started to notice the increase of policing around here myself. I was driving to work yesterday and there was a cop car for every one of the three streetlights on route 16. Stores all over have started installing a more technological advaned survilience cameras inside. Maybe it's just me and it's all a coincidence. Quote:

that's a bit of a stretch. More like Stalin's NKVD managing the Keystone Cops. |

"And last year, local police in Torrance, Calif., thwarted what the FBI says could have been America's worst incident since 9/11--planned attacks on military sites and synagogues in and around Los Angeles by homegrown jihadists." Anybody have information on that? I've never heard of that. |
