POPSBureaucrats Need a Cluebat Within three hours of rescuing the 13-year-old schoolgirl last Tuesday the boat was towed away by a senior MCA officer and is now locked away. 'We have identified a serious breach of health and safety procedures and they are currently being investigated. 'The boat has been stood down for a further eight weeks while we investigate the possibility of repair or replacement.' Stupid is as stupid does...

POPSBush can bot any American citizen in jail for life without reason ?? !! With the approval of Congress and no outcry from corporate media, the Military Commissions Act (MCA) signed by Bush on October 17, 2006, ushered in military commission law for US citizens and non-citizens alike. While media, including a lead editorial in the New York Times October 19, have given false comfort that we, as American citizens, will not be the victims of the draconian measures legalized by this Act—such as military roundups and life-long detention with no rights or constitutional protections—Robert Parry points to text in the MCA that allows for the institution of a military alternative to the constitutional justice system for “any person” regardless of American citizenship. The MCA effectively does away with habeas corpus rights for “any person” arbitrarily deemed to be an “enemy of the state.” The judgment on who is deemed an “enemy combatant” is solely at the discretion of President Bush.

POPSMalaysian Ruling BN ib Danger of Collapsing Mahathir felt that Pakatan Rakyat was a force to be reckoned with, not because it was strong or the people loved the Opposition but because of "the feeling of disappointment." When asked where the Opposition would obtain the 30 MPs, Mahathir pointed towards Sabah and Sarawak. "If we take Umno, MCA and MIC, they have their roots here (in the peninsula) but not in Sabah and Sarawak. Although you have Umno in Sabah, it is transplanted from here to there. He said even in the peninsula, there could be MPs who could cross over since they knew that they could be in the new opposition-led government."

POPSYou Get The Government You Deserve The elections don't just concern Americans. The whole world is in the murderous grasp of the evil American BushCo regime and their bogus "War on Terror". They have deceived their allies and they have murdered millions of innocent people around the world. They sure didn't deserve it! Everyone around the world is watching what you do now. Twice, you put Bush in office and twice, you let him stay there. Patriot Acts, MCA 2006, renditions, torture, secret prisons, lies, wars, surveillance, Gitmo... It has to change. The faces and names in office may change, but make sure the dictatorial laws change too. These elections, DEMAND change! If not, then the US really will get the government they deserve...

POPSAre you a Patriot or a Loyalist? For anyone who dares to call peaceful protesters wackos or delusional, I would dare to differ and perhaps even call them cowards or traitors. The whole article is worth a read. These considerations would aptly apply to anyone, anywhere and in any country. Always.

POPSFirst They Came for the Lawyers The words of Martin Niemoller are the exact reason, why I clip stuff like this and I can hear that little quote too in the back of my mind that goes: "Evil thrives, when good men do nothing" Gitmo, CIA secret prisons, FEMA detention camps, extraordinary rendition, the MCA and cases like José Padila's just have to be challenged by everyone, all the time. They just have to...

Sheesh, according to the Patriot Act § 802 and the definitions of domestic terrorism, legitimate protest could be prosecuted as terrorism! I kid you not!

POPSECHELON buzzwords How can words like "Bubba the Love Sponge", "Mary", "loin" or "fish" imply a possible threat to national security?!? If you've ever used any of the words on the list in an email or chat, supposedly chances are your email has been snooped on by the government. I see "&" and "site" are also buzzwords. Would there be anything they DIDN'T read?!? Sheesh, gimme a break!

POPSPurpose of the Military Commissions Act FindLaw's J. Mariner argues that the purpose of the MCA was primarily not to assist in the prosecution of terror suspects (who have been successfully prosecuted in civilian courts, in the past, using constitutional rules of evidence) but to ensure that government operatives are immune from potential future prosecution for war crimes and illegal acts of torture.
