POPSModerate Republicans:"Who is John McCain?" John McCain has a serious problem with his own constituency, moderate republicans. They are crossing the aisle too now, to support his opponent. Chafee said he has spoken with several other moderate Republican leaders, and "there are a whole lot of us deserting." About Palin: As for McCain's choice of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin for his running mate, "there's no question she's totally unqualified," Chafee said. They would do better, however, supporting third party instead of supporting Obama who will NOT change the neocon "war on terrorism" and foreign policy agenda (where he sounds alot like McCain), and will NOT have policies that improve the economy nor restore our constitutional liberties trampled by Homeland Security policies. (Obama has not promised to rescind any of the Exec orders or legislation pushed by Bush gov't. Traditional conservatives have a problem with McCain too, and are leaning toward Constitution or Libertarian party cand

POPSArmy Will Deploy Homeland Defense Unit Welkommen sie zu Homeland Security. HALT! Starting Oct 1 in case of "civilian unrest", just in time for the elections and financial crisis. This mission will become a "permanent one". The US will now become "occupied", gradually, just like Iraq. Can you say "police state"? According to this article this could be called the invasion of the C-smurfs (see last line). So much for posse comitatus that forbids the military for domestic policing.

POPSUK Expands Total Citizen Surveillance The US tends to follow what the UK implements, and under the pretense of a "war on terrorism" the US has been following suit with little lag time. From REAL ID to the security merchandisers total camera surveillance in every state and municipality this fascism is being erected where "free citizens" are tagged, tracked, recorded, and watched like criminal suspects and the "democratic government" separates itself from and above the people. The article details yet even more: Local authorities have since adapted their own CCTV systems to capture licence plates on behalf of police, massively expanding the network of available cameras. Mobile cameras have been installed in patrol cars and unmarked vehicles parked by the side of roads. Police helicopters have been equipped with infrared cameras that can read licence plates from 610 metres (2,000ft).

POPSAnthrax Mystery, In-Depth Podcast Must hear podcast. McCain tied the Anthrax attacks to Iraq in 2001 on the David Letterman show, to justify war, as did Bush (knowing there was no evidence to say such--lying). In-depth interviews here on Democracy Now podcast trace the clear evidence that whoever sent the letters engaged in purposeful propaganda to push the "War on terrorism" (Middle East regime change) and Homeland Security (fear-based) agendas. Also details about the suicide suspect Ivins by a person who knew him and the FBI's suspicious handling of the entire case. Alot of facts that the MSM is not covering while they parrot everything from the FBI without any investigation of their own former stories. (Interview in podcast follows headlines, etc...fast forward).

POPSThe Secrecy of the Feds Cyber Security Program Homeland Security is Homeland Secrecy, for this anti-constitutional agency that is. You are not permitted any privacy about you under this new government. CNet tried to find facts about this internet security program but was thwarted. The more secret a government is the less it is a government by and for the people.

POPSAnthrax Suspect Was Not the Culprit
Yet officially he committed "suicide" while he did not know that he was to be charged? (What was his motive for suicide if he did not know he would be charged?) His friends and key scientists vehemently reject and refute the FBI's fingering him (in a desperate attempt to close the case). That the anthrax letters (sent to only Democratic leaders in Congress, Daschle and Leahy) contained the words "Allah is great" also demonstrates this was a false flag action with clear intent to blame Arabs and "Islamic terrorists" to heighten the propaganda and fear campaign and coerce Congress to pass draconian legislation for the PATRIOT ACT, Homeland Security, and permit a definition less "war on terrorism" (all contrary to the Constitution) and cede all power to the Executive branch. The motive appears clear by the anthrax letters form and content, and the effects upon the country, which are inconsistent with the alleged motive of this good standing scientist that was trusted until now.

POPSREAL ID, A Real Threat to Gun Rights Gunowners of America has stated the same, but this article shows how. Like the Social Security card, now used as a national identifier for non-related purposes, REAL ID would morf beyond its stated purpose (because the SSN is one of its central components).

POPS"My First-Hand Experience with Gov't Spies" America's new government, including the states, in action: Thanks to the Freedom of Information Act and the ACLU, we now know that "Lucy" was only one part of a vast, insidious project. The Maryland State Police's Department of Homeland Security devoted near 300 hours and thousands of taxpayer dollars from 2005 and 2006 to harassing people whose only crime was dissenting on the question of the war in Iraq and Maryland's use of death row.

POPSHomeland Security Merchandisers Go to China Note: Communist, fascist governments like the same technology being setup in America! Kaa-chiiing! Selling out liberty is highly profitable and driving the agenda more. Note the sales pitches and methodology to establish tyranny by identifying it with patriotic labels, just more proof that there is a global conspiracy to increase strength of governments against their people invoking the (microscopic) threat of "terrorism": The surveillance experiment is part of the heroically named Golden Shield Project (Patriot Act, anyone?) which also gave birth to another of our favorite censorship models the Great Firewall.

POPSChertoff: Terrorists Are Coming This Election Season! EU Terrorists, he says he knows they are trying....but yet they never catch any trying? Right! Propaganda, stay tuned for false flag events this election season, or maybe just more fear mongering to drive the agenda. Key word: "dirty bomb", after 7 years of zero attacks and mere rhetoric. Isn't it obvious that terrorists would lay low to prevent war policy being driven again? Now who would have such a motive, really? (Whats preventing the true perps from doing it is that it cripples the economy too much, as 9/11 did).

POPSU.S. Terrorism Watch Tops 1 Million This over-the-top dragnet has included people like Sen. Kennedy, Kat Stevens, and recently a former federal prosecutor! 50,000 individuals are included on the Transportation Security Administration "no-fly" or "selectee" lists that subject them to travel bans, arrest or additional screening. The Justice Department's former top criminal prosecutor says the government's terror watch list likely has caused thousands of innocent Americans to be questioned, searched or otherwise hassled. Former Assistant Attorney General Jim Robinson would know: he's one of them. More than 30,000 airline passengers had asked the Homeland Security Department to clear their names from the list as of October 2006.

POPSSenators Challenge Illegal Border Searches of US Citizens unconstitutional, arbitrary search and seizure at borders widespread. Homeland Security gets challenged again by the 4th amendment, and it does not take a lawyer to prove they are illegally searching (like they do in airports too, without challenge). Where are the republicans...are they against freedom? Is this America or the Soviet Union? This is proof that customs is indoctrinated into paranoia and therefore over-aggressive action. If you go to Canada they pull all your personal info up on a screen...the Canadian customs apparently link to IRS files and your drivers license info here in the States!

POPSArizona Joins the Revolt, Outlaws REAL ID Next! Liberty is a threatening thing to Homeland Security. If it was really about making drivers licenses secure then the Feds would not care.

POPSMilitary Conducts Un-routine Psy-Op on Denver Two words: Posse Comitatus. All this coincidentally in advance of DNC convention. This is the strongest form of creating irrational fear about "terrorism", including hyper-paranoid police and military preparations, which could lead to over-reaction during possible convention protests. Pure propaganda, pure psy-op, to indoctrinate and influence the CONTEXT of the DNC political convention. If nothing to hide, then why the secrecy about which branch of the military was involved? They will not answer in depth questions.

POPSCCTV and Surveillance Cams Ineffective Many UK studies have concluded same. But as with this article they always try to justify it anyway, despite the enormous cost of installing these police state grids. Let your state and local authorities know that not only do they trample the 4th amendment (treating all citizens like criminal suspects, without probable cause), but they do not deter crime or even catch many criminals. The "security merchandisers" are busy reaping profits from the trampling of your liberties by seducing authorities with the latest toys and technology.

POPSLieberman Pushing Internet Censorship; Bill in Congress NY Times editorial opposing his attempt to censor the internet. Tell your Senators to oppose this pending legislation , which is a ruse for censorship. Pardon me, but if "Al Qaeda" and "bin Laden" post videos on the internet at radical sites (per neocon propaganda fronts like SITE, and reported by ABC News), why can they not find them? (Those sites are not on YouTube or easily obtained). Answer: Because then there would be no propaganda to support the "war on terrorism" and "homeland security". All of this comes against the backdrop of a troubling Congressional antiterrorism bill that also focuses on the Internet. The Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act, which passed the House last year by a 404-to-6 vote, would establish a commission to study the terrorist threat and propose legislation. The bill, which the Senate has not acted on, has a finding that the Internet p

POPSHomeland Security & Border Agent Corruption Rampant Money and sex rule over law and order. You can put a man in uniform, but that won't make him good, only gives him a cover or even opportunity. Amazing article documenting wide-spread corruption. Just another example that Americans should be more concerned about internal corruptions and crimes than foreign enemies.

POPSReport: Air Force Nuke Weapons Not Secure Ironic. Yet other articles disclosed that Israeli contractors would be in charge of nuke weapon security in the U.S. , which is even more interesting. So if "terrorists" used a nuclear device, guess where it might come from? This article also underlines the Minot Air Force lapse when nukes were loaded on B-52s and flown across the country, "without (official) authorization". There is more evidence of internal security problems than from any foreign enemy.

POPSAlaska Becomes 9th State to Outlaw REAL ID Tyrannical federal legislation sparked another Civil War against federal despotism, and the states are seceding from REAL ID continually, essentially using the doctrine of Nullification based upon the 10th amendment of the Constitution. The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people. Any state that respects the Constitution and freedom for its citizens will do the same.

POPSChertoff Wants to Israelize US Airport Security Big Brother expansion while he signs an agreement with Israel (can he do that?) to "share technologies". Chertoff holds dual citizenship and is part of the neocon-Israeli fifth column revolutionizing America into a police state. I wonder how much the Israeli companies will profit from this "sharing". By the way, what threat of terrorism? The probabilities are microscopic in comparison to crime or traffic accidents, yet we bow to the most extreme and expensive measures, none of which would stop a real suicidal terrorist? Everyone is treated as suspicious, and we call it "freedom"? But don't worry, you will be treated as well as a Palestinian in your "homeland".

POPSMinnesota REAL ID Showdown: Governor vs Legislature In this very bias article by the newspaper the reader is left with an incorrect impression: Gov. Tim Pawlenty killed a bill to bar national identity card rules, but issued a conciliatory executive order. No, it is entirely dishonest to say the Governor "killed" the bill against REAL ID when they later inform the reader of this fact: A bill prohibiting Minnesota's compliance with the Real ID requirement passed last week by overwhelming veto-proof margins in both the House and the Senate. The Governor cannot "kill" a bill that the legislature can over-ride. This battle is not over, but its clear the governor is playing the sycophant, carefully, for the Dept of Homeland Tyranny: The executive order, he added, "will give us an opportunity to work with our federal partners and state legislators to resolve the valid concerns regarding this program."

POPSArizona State Senator(R): 9/11 Controlled Demolition
Her commentary appeared in this newspaper. She makes a well sustainable argument that cannot be denied has merit. • The theory that the buildings collapsed due to controlled-demolition explosives, however, is consistent with scientific principles and the facts. The “demolition” theory, in fact, is the only one which scientists have been able to corroborate. That is, “… all observations are in accord with the use of explosives in a time sequence.” (Legge and Szamboti, December, Journal of 9/11 Studies.) The events of 9/11 led immediately to the creation of the Department of Homeland Security and passage of the Patriot Act (what double-speak), both of which deprive us of Constitutional rights and have brought us to the brink of becoming a police state. Homeland Security is currently trying to force a national ID card down our throats, although some governors have politely (or not so politely) told Secretary Michael Chertoff where he can go.

POPSHomeland Defense Task Force Created to be deployed during a "terrorist attack". Note the continuous propaganda we hear, and justification for continual federalizing of everything, is that a terrorist attack is "not if, but when", despite absolutely nothing for 7 years. Also everything is enabled always around fall timing, to coincide with September 11th to reinforce both the war and domestic Security State agendas that is trampling our Constitution and liberties, while domestic crime and traffic accidents are a greater threat than terrorism. Note also the deployment of spy drones, UAVs.

POPSJudge Rejects "State Secrets" Claim, Orders Watch Lists Open ...so that "free Americans" are not abused by Homeland Tyranny, arbitrary search and seizures when crossing borders. American citizens cannot be treated like criminals and terrorists without a "warrant, issued upon probable cause", and Dept. of HS must disclose Watch List status to those it treats otherwise. This could be a huge legal precedent to restore the norm of Constitutional restraints on government, with further applications than this.

POPSNYC Goes Totally Paranoid, "Torches" Liberty for Security Homeland Tyranny: Insane pretense of security at high cost to taxpayers that would prevent nothing from someone determined. Welcome to propaganda in "real time", acted out to reinforce and justify more of the same. Between total surveillance and this it does not look or feel like freedom, but fascism, and it is. Americans are more of a threat to each other (read crime statistics) and the mathematical probability of terrorism is microscopic in comparison. So all this is for NOTHING BUT SHOW! Not only Iraq, but now New York City is officially under Occupation.

POPSREAL ID: 50 States' Citizens Free to Travel; Senators Grill Chertoff This is a good analysis on REAL ID, as their is much posturing going on by the Dept. of Homeland Tyranny (aka Security) as to the results. Bottom line is the States rebelled, and the anti-Constitutional Department is compromising, but still pushing. May 11th was the deadline date, but it has been arbitrarily moved, and has no definitive standards. Chertoff's goal is to feign compromise while coercing and gaining increasing conformity. The freedom to travel as free citizens should not, and legally cannot, be impeded. To set up a new criteria for just who will be treated like "free citizens", instead of criminal suspects, without probable cause or search warrant, on the basis of a national (i.e. federalized) ID card is unconstitutional.

POPSChertoff vs States on REAL ID; South Carolina May Sue Feds Showdown time on REAL ID. The official deadline is May 11th for states to file (beg) for extension from the Dept. of Homeland Tyranny. Montana got an extension without asking for one (still refusing to comply), five Senators request for all 50 states to be exempt from hassle, while Chertoff insists it is Congress that established the deadline (while it had no choice because REAL ID was passed under another bill, without debate). Chertoff is trying to gain compliance, arbitrarily, by compromises, so long as all states eventually comply. Tyranny will enter softly. The big news, and key precedent, that the Feds fear, is that South Carolina may file a lawsuit against them for treating South Carolinians like non-citizens. THIS IS WHAT EVERY STATE SHOULD DO.
