Our Congress critters have proposed the creation of a Ministry of Fatherland Defense federal police force. Under H.R. 3199 (the so-called "USA PATRIOT Improvement and Reauthorization Act of 2005″)—created to "extend and modify authorities needed to combat terrorism, and for other purposes," according to the Library of Congress—Rep. Sensenbrenner introduced and sponsored the creation of the "United States Secret Service Uniformed Division" (USSSUD) to be marshaled by Michael Chertoff, secretary of DHS, all around neocon, and a member of the Federalist Society, a reactionary cabal with members such as former Reaganite and Bechtel favored son Edwin Meese, neocon boy wonder William Kristol, and master funder of troglodytic political causes and CIA operative Richard Mellon Scaife. Considering Chertoff’s penchant for rounding up people willy-nilly and incarcerating them without charge (as he did to around 750 Arabs and Muslims in the wake of nine eleven), the fact he will be entrusted with this spanking new federal police force should set off alarm bells.
But here’s the disturbing part: Chertoff and his minions will be allowed to commandeer your local cops under this draconian provision. "In carrying out the functions pursuant to paragraphs (7) and (9) of subsection (a), the Secretary of Homeland Security may utilize, with their consent, on a reimbursable basis, the services, personnel, equipment, and facilities of State and local government."
So let’s say Bush plans to traipse through your town and you send out an email to your friends urging them to practice their one-time civil liberty under the First Amendment of the now doormat Bill of Rights and stand on a public street corner with signs protesting the neocon mass murder campaign in Iraq. Of course, that very email will be scooped up by the largest intel op in the world—the National Security Agency, now effectively Bush’s personal snoop operation—and will be forwarded to Chertoff’s Gestapo and you may very well receive a visit the day before Bush’s motorcade wings through town and due to "extraordinary protective need" you may very well be arrested "without warrant" for an "offense against the United States," that is to say for disagreeing with our Caesar, George W. Bush.
