The blurring of lines between crime and terrorism continues. According to section 802 of the Patriot Act, minor criminal offenses can be interpreted as terrorism by government officials. The recent implementation of Operation Sudden Impact in Memphis and surrounding areas had various people from federal, state and local law enforcement agencies go on a fishing expedition searching for terrorists. The operation resulted in the issuance of several traffic tickets, the confiscation of a small amount of drugs but failed to catch any terrorists. It was nothing more than a martial law training operation because the real terrorists are actually funded by high level government black operations. The U.S. House of Representatives last year passed HR 1955 the Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007 which if gets signed into law will give the government a blank check to potentially classify certain belief systems as terrorism.

As horrible as all of these things are, we now have a candidate running for Sheriff in Florida’s Orange County using the slogan “Crime is Terrorism”. Malone Stewart proudly displays this slogan on his web site and in his campaign signs. There is no question that the lines between criminality and terrorism are quickly being erased and if this continues the government will just accuse people who don’t like what they are doing of being terrorists and haul them away to FEMA run death camps.
Obviously crime is not terrorism, but if we have people in positions of authority that buy into the terror war fraud and believe that crime is terrorism, we are in a great deal of trouble. The Military Commissions Act which was passed into law in 2006 allows the government to strip people of their citizenship and hold them indefinitely with no due process if they are accused of being a terrorist. What better way to hold American citizens who are protesting against the government than by utilizing the powers in the Military Commissions Act combined with what’s in the Patriot Act and eventually with what’s in HR 1955. Assuming HR 1955 gets passed, the government will literally have the power to jail American citizens indefinitely for having a belief system that the government disapproves of.

We will then have the privilege of either voting for our oppressors, or quietly accepting them. Freedom of choice is great huh?

Yet another great find and read by Lee Rogers...I keep seeing this theme pop up with more regularity now that the DHS is working hand in hand with Law Enforcement and passing out grants to them to "fight crime in the name of terrorism."
I hope nobody is stupid enough to vote for this brainwashed sheriff, but sadly many of the brainwashed populace will probably buy into this fear mongering crap like he's some sort of hero for tying the two areas together.

I say sue. When in doubt (government repression), sue the pants off of 'em. I think it keeps them in check.
I know that many believe there is an NWO agenda going on here, but I find it hard to believe that the country's judges - who have lived their life off of the constitution and law - will all the sudden change how they do business.
