Congress, unfazed by their worst approval rating in history, has just reached a deal to extend the Patriot Act four more years.
Key provisions to this unconstitutional attack on America were set to expire on May 27th. The provisions that were set to expire included roving wiretaps and the surveillance of so called lone wolf terrorists.
“Sens. Reid and McConnell have introduced a clean, four-year extension of the Patriot Act, one of the critical tools the intelligence community has to keep America safe. The Senate will consider this legislation next week,” said Michael Brumas, a McConnell spokesman, Politico reported.
This extension has once again been rammed down the America peoples throats without so much as a committee debate.
The Patriot Act, a bill that was promised to never be used against the American people, has been used countless times against innocent civilians. One of the more prominent cases of the Patriot Act being used directly against American citizens was the case of former CIA asset Susan Lindauer.
Susan, whose knowledge of pre 9/11 warnings could have taken down the Bush administration, was charged as an Iraq agent when she tried to go public.
Lindauer ended up in a military prison where she watched government officials continually claim that we had no idea the 9/11 attacks were coming when she had evidence of the exact opposite.
The Patriot Act is absolutely unconstitutional and its extension should send a clear message to the American people that Congress DOES agree on at least one thing; the unlawful surveillance and detention of American citizens all in the name of security.

the U.S. died when the first revision of this ENABLING ACT got rammed up our asses.
Fu Congress, and Fu most of the sloths that live in this country. I can see that people truly do not care anymore and have accepted their fate, or at leats what the gov decides for you. You Americans are spinless to say the least. Keep drinking your fluoride, and being irriadated without a peep. You will get swhat the gov has planned for you. I am disgusted that many of my brothers died for nothing, fighting for your rights you can’t even use. I am more active in a wheelchair than all ofr the youth in my town, sad, sad, puking in my mouth sad..to those civilians who fight back…..Thank You don’t give up..
to: USMC VEt:
We won’t give up.
Thank you for your service Sir,
Welcome Home.:)
Why don’t the state legislatures just pass legislation telling DC to shove the PATRIOT Act up their asses, and that any federal agent attempting to enforce its provisions within any of the 50 states will be thrown into prison without trial, and possibly tortured for good measure? Subject these criminal scum to their own methods, and let’s see how long this lasts.
Unfortunately, most of these idiots in the state legislatures actually believe that this phony War OF Terror is real, and that DC is actually attempting to protect peoples’ civil liberties and keep them safe. It figures, though. Idiot voters elect idiots.
The states comply with the feds for the money that is held over their heads like a carrot.(which is total BS, no doubt) I would like to think that congress is just a mass of morons, but it is more sinister than that. This fake war has been going on for ten years now and have to have a clue making them criminals in my opinion. I don.t blame the voters simply because I think the elections are fraudulent at the federal level.
I’m F#*Ken so sick of this S#*#t. I want my country back. The last ten years take the cake for most making my country solve all its problems by committing suicide. I still think it won’t work. I’m a pre-9/11 American citizen and yes, we can and have to go back to then.
Congress knows it is over for them as free collectors from a major artery of America’s jugular if they don’t hire protection. The CFR controlled TV news has administered the anesthetic and Congress is draining the treasury dry at gun point. They know who did 9-11. They know the GOM oil well blow out was done intentionally. They know ARM was a bank fraud to facilitate payback from the derivative fraud that many of them collected on from English bank branches, in cash. They know the prisoners at Guantanamo are innocent. They know the Fukushima plant was perilously located and designed by American interests who waited for the next big tsunami as the spent fuel rod storage above the reactors grew in size (CONDITION RED:WATCH OUT FOR THIS ONE). They know HAARP has caused the recent spate of tornados, Mississippi river flooding, and probably other weather disasters.
Trouble is, they can always run and hide in the underground shelters and leave their idiot TSA and DHS people to stand in front of the U.S. military and the people until Congress has permanently retreated to safety.
There are just over 800 flag officers in the U.S. military. I do not believe they support Bush or Obama by choice. A few do. Enough to allow Congress to destroy the country. May we see better days.
It is sickening to see this country is already gone. We have lost our basic human rights and hardly anyone is complaining. What chance do we have when government becomes dictatorial? A very slim chance exists in the minds of truly patriotic Americans but it may require a violent revolution before anything really changes. What a shame the people no longer run America. Obviously, mainstream corporate media and corporate war-profiteering fear tactics and propaganda rule the weak American sheep that don’t have the courage to question their shadowy overlords, as is their DUTY as Americans. America is F’d big time on a scale that makes Hitler look like an amateur. Probably the best hope we have is a world-wide people’s revolution. Just remember, everything you hear from corporate-owned media and corporate-owned politicians are outright lies. Sensible people can see this.
