Enemies Of The State?

T his article makes light of the Department of Homeland Security report which seems to be what most people are doing, other than those who are upset that returning from Iraq veterans were named as possible suspects. But people I believe it is a shot across the bow of freedom loving Americans.
“Found on the second page of the report is this ominous warning:
“Right wing extremism in the United States can be broadly divided into those groups, movements, and adherents that . . . are mainly anti-government, rejecting federal authority in favor of state or local authority, or rejecting government authority entirely. It may include groups and individuals that are dedicated to a single issue, such as opposition to abortion or immigration.”
So if you’re pro-life and want to control our borders, don’t be surprised if you wind up on a terrorist watch list, especially if you’re also a veteran. The report warns that the “possible passage of new restrictions on firearms and the return of military veterans facing significant challenges reintegrating into their communities could lead to the potential emergence of terrorist groups or lone wolf extremists capable of carrying out violent attacks.”
Below is a list of 14 characteristics of a “domestic terrorist” that were pulled right out of the report.
According to the Department of Homeland Security, you might be a domestic terrorist if…..
*you are a U.S. military veteran returning from duty in Iraq or Afghanistan
*you believe in “end times” prophecies
*you believe in state or local authority
*you are against abortion
*you are against illegal immigration
*you believe in the 2nd Amendment
*you criticize any of the free trade agreements the U.S. has made
*you are against same-sex marriage
*you believe that an economic collapse is happening
*you think that the U.S. may declare martial law someday
*you believe that the U.S. is creating detention camps
*you stockpile food, ammunition or weapons
*you believe that illegal immigrants are taking away American jobs
*you believe “New World Order” conspiracy theories
I fall into rather large number of these groupings. Do you? Well if so your government is now telling the world that you are a Right-wing terrorist. This is just one more move towards fulfilling Obama’s agenda of One World Government of which he intends to be the first President. This report allows the government to start surveillance on anyone who dares to question anything the government of the Democrats and Obama does. Those of you old enough to remember the witch hunt of the 1950′s McCarthy will remember the power of a government gone wrong can wield over citizens lives. (Younger people may want to Wikipedia McCarthyism— a real eye opener of what happened in America until saner heads prevailed.) In the McCarthy era one of the saner heads was President Eisenhower who was eventually able to reign in an out of control Congress. This new threat to our freedoms has the President at it’s head. BB

Unfortunately Pawel this was taken from the report put out by our own Department of Homeland Security—our own government. It does sound “silly”, but it is true. I couldn’t make anything this ridiculous up.
We in the United States are seeing bad things happening in our government that some of us believe is leading to a One World Government. The G20 Conference just held in Europe had many agreements quietly made between our leaders. What is happening in your country? What are your leaders agreeing to? A one world common currency? A one world common financial regulatory agency where your banks are not controlled by you economy or even your government but a body related to the United Nations?
You should be looking into these matters concerning your own country. Do you want Poland to again be ruled by outsiders? After all you just got your freedom from the Soviet Union.
This is what we fear our President Obama is planning along with Gordon Brown of Great Britain among others.BB

Oh our government does many silly things, and I with my collegues often write about them on our blog:)
Poland is now part of the European Union – and it was one of the best decisions this counttry has ever made. I voted “yes” in the referendum (Note: no one asked people if they wanted an authoritarian party regime – a thing that happened to Poland, the only ally in WW2 that lost). The atmosphere in Europe is a bit different than in the USA. The integration is rarely perceived as a threat to independence. Besides, the EU rule is something is something we couldn’t love more.
EU encourages and funds reforms in my country that work for our benefit. It also introduces common standards and policies that make it easier to exchange goods between countries, but also ideas and people. EU funds help us update the infrastructure, roads, rail, develop better public services. We often have opportunities to meet people from other EU countries, participating in various EU programmes and initiatives, which helps to understand people from other countries and erase boundaries.
I feel that EU works.
After in the todays world it is much better to work together with others to achieve common aims.
European Union is also one of the pillars of the human rights protection in Europe. It has higher standards the the UN, and they are applied universally. Which means that country like Poland had to apply progressive legislation, for instance on preventing discrimmination, soner than it would otherwise do – if a grass roots movement had to fight for it like in Western European countries decades ago.
I don’t see the national state as an entity that best fulfils the needs of people. Therefore I don’t see the need to defend the nation-state. I, personally, am in favour of a federated Europe in the shape it has today.
I can calm yo down – I don’t believe a universal world currency or governent are possible.
I would much prefer banks and other institutions being controlled by powerful democratic institutions, rather then by rich speculants not controlled by anyone.

This is funny:)) Is it an official govt document?:)) Looks like a joke of a secondary school student…
“you critisise the number of commercials on tv”
“you don’t like pork”
“you are a woman who wears dungarees and gets a warm feeling watching Germaine Greer”
“you think Judith Butler should be deported to France”
But did you know that in a form you cmplete to get a tourist visa to the US there is a question “Are you a terrorist or do you plan a terrorist attack on the USA?”:) That was very funny, and no only because it was two questions in one:>
