- Osama, dead and buried, is the reason George Bush and
the NSA are snooping your daughter's cell phone calls to her boyfriend,
or reading your email, disregarding the Constitution, and turning America
into an Orwellian police state. All of this is necessary because, who knows,
your neighbor might be a member of a sleeper cell or a vegetarian.

- "US President George W. Bush said today that a controversial
domestic spying program that some critics say is illegal was necessary
in light of new threats on an audiotape from Osama bin Laden," reports
the Herald Sun. "Listen to the words of Osama bin Laden and take him
seriously. When he says he's going to hurt the American people again, or
try to, he means it," said Bush, and that's why the government needs
to know what books you check out of the library. "I take it seriously.
And the people of NSA take it seriously. And most of the American people
take it seriously as well." Bush tells us the Bill of Rights must
be sacrificed because "al-Qaeda" has placed "operatives
inside of our country. They blend in with the civilian population. They
get their orders from overseas. And then they emerge to strike from within."
Never mind that since nine eleven not one "al-Qaeda" terrorist
has been apprehended and convicted of plotting against the United States.
-
- None of this snooping has anything to do with terrorism.
It has to do with American citizens opposed to the Bush administration
and the mass murder schemes of the Straussian neocons. "Over the last
several months, it has been revealed that the FBI, the Pentagon and the
National Security Agency have each set up apparently independent covert
operations to monitor the constitutionally protected political activities
of citizens opposed to the Bush," explains Joel Bleifuss. "The
FBI has issued tens of thousands of national security letters, extending
the bureau's reach as never before into the telephone calls, correspondence
and financial lives of ordinary Americans. Most of the U.S. residents and
citizens whose records were screened, the FBI acknowledged, were not suspected
of wrongdoing," the Washington Post reported. According to information
released under a FOIA request, the FBI's targets included people involved
in a "vegan community project" in Indianapolis, the Catholic
Worker movement and its "semi-communistic ideology," Code Pink,
the anti-war coalition United for Peace and Justice, Greenpeace and attendees
of the Third National Organizing Conference on Iraq, which was held at
Stanford University in May 2005. According to the documents, in some cases
the FBI received information about those under surveillance from informers
within the targeted groups. In other words, COINTELPRO is alive and well
and sifting through your credit card and medical records.
-
- It has nothing to do with the dead Osama bin Laden and
everything to do with books written by people such as William Blum, books
we are absurdly told are on Osama's reading list. Of course, most Americans
don't care about such things and a startling large number of them believe
there is nothing wrong with the government violating the Fourth Amendment.
Obviously, millions of Americans have no use for the Constitution. In fact,
millions of Americans believe the Bill of Rights is an excuse for terrorists
to attack America. It took more than a hundred years to get the populace
in this state of ignorance. Now they are beginning to pay for it.
