POPSThe World of Paranoia Is In Our Faces Everyday & We Think It Is Protection
Just tonight one of the people who attend my classes spoke about how Mercurochrome is now banded in Australia - because it is deemed to be too dangerous due to the mercury and yet, I know people who are now well into their nineties and besides a bit of physical frailty are bright, sprightly and healthy. There is a point, where caution simply just turns to paranoia - I really reckon the world is much tooooo paranoid about all the things that can go wrong and hence we inhibit, not just our own, but everyone else's freedom in the process. We are all going to die and whilst I choose to create optimum wellness at any given moment in time. I really can no longer be bothered with filling my head with all the things that can go wrong because of all the rules, regulations, stories (fact or fiction) that fill my head on a daily basis. My life IS - short or long it matters not - less intellect more heart - it is as beautiful as this little video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZE-ML-B

POPSCourt: Passengers can challenge no-fly list "The TSA, part of the Homeland Security Department, has lists of hundreds of thousands of names of passengers who allegedly pose a risk of terrorism or air piracy, information the agency shares with airlines. Those on the no-fly list are prevented from boarding. Passengers on a separate "selectee" list undergo additional searches." Full article at source.

POPSGovernment Permission Will Be Required to Travel "Protecting air safety is essential, but professional screening at airports already provides for it. Giving the TSA as an official agency the additional authority to decide who gets to go where reaches beyond safety into overextended governmental power. This newly minted "Secure Flight" rule fundamentally imbalances long-standing citizens' rights both to travel and to be left alone. If your name appears among hundreds of thousands on "watchlists," you assert that the government should not require ID to fly, you don't want to reveal your date of birth for concern about identity theft, or you don't choose to declare your gender, you can stay home.

POPSPermission Now Needed to Travel Within U.S. What the government can allow one day, it can forbid the next. All things considered, isn't this a higher-tech and later-day version of South African domestic passports or eastern European checkpoints? In fact, because of the high technological capacity of the U.S. version, aren't its implications for travel control of plane, train, bus and subway travel much more far reaching? It's incredible that something like this is happening relatively unrecognized in America.

POPSMore than 800 gun buyers on terrorist watch list
The futility of ‘government control’ The terrorist watch list is becoming a joke. There are children, a retired ANG General (and commercial pilot) on the list: http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/08/19/tsa.watch.list/index.html The sheer size of the list makes it a joke: http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/2009-03-10-watchlist_N.htm can there really be this many terrorists living in the US? This list has become a witch hunt reminiscent of the McCarthy era. Terrorists are the new Red Scare. If someone on the terrorist watch list is allowed to buy a gun and then kills people with it shouldn’t the US government be held responsible much like a bartender serving a drink to a drunk who then gets in his car a kills someone? They claim they want to protect us and then don’t communicate between departments. Seems pretty futile to me. This is a means for the FBI to get that database of everyone in the US it has wants so badly. http://www.contumacy.org/bbs/index.pl?noframes;read=7839

POPSDefense Department sees protests as terrorism So, to their way of thinking, if the public does not agree with pentagon policies, we are considered terrorists. This term ‘terrorist’ is being bandied about by our government a little too freely. This word has been allowed to be used to describe everything from simply voicing an opinion and disagreeing with a police officer or TSA agent to protest. Any disagreeable action directed toward any government official has now been transformed into an act of terrorism. This country will tear itself apart if this type of ‘hate-think’ is allowed to continue.

POPSFascism--In The Beginning This is how it all starts. Like Germany in the 1930s when Hitler took over. Example: First, they wanted all people who had weapons to register them. This seems harmless doesn't it? Secondly, they seized all of the firearms so there would be less of a threat from the average citizen. Now we have Nazi Germany in its finest hour. Requirements now call for all people that use the nations airports to be TSA backgrounded and to have a badge. This is for each airport......There is no universal badge for all airports....FASCISTS Supposed to be for our security. It bites in the realm of losing personal liberties, one step at a time...........lakotahope

POPSGOP Losing Support Among Nearly All Demographic Groups I remember saying to myself back in 2000 that if there was anything positive that could come out of Dubya being president was that they would finally push things too far and the country would turn against them. Remember young Americans: when you think "Republicans", think Iraq, Katrina, massive corporate greed, the Patriot Act, the TSA, and Econopocalypse.

POPSHow false rumors can cost lives
More: When someone proposes an idea, think about whether it makes sense… Did the person do a thorough investigation before making the material public?…Did the person make basic errors of fact?…Does it contradict other things you know?…Does the person propose theories of conspiracies that would be implausibly difficult to keep secret?…Do they fail at basic assessments of human behavior probability?…Are you thinking of forwarding something that includes pleas that you should forward it, especially urgent ones? That probably means the material wouldn’t have been forwarded to you on its own merit…If it turns out that it’s false, would it hurt someone to distribute it? It’s not so bad to forward around a funny kitten photo that turns out to be fake, but in the particular case I’ve been writing about, it will at least damage the reputations of some innocent people (who ought to sue you for defamation, but probably won’t), and at worst kill hundreds of millions of people.

POPSMan detained and harassed at airport for carrying cash This is scary stuff. A man is threatened with exposure to DEA because he is carrying a large sum of cash and refuses to explain to over-zealous TSA agents why he is carrying it or where he got it. He repeatedly asks the agents if he is legally bound to answer their questions concerning the origin of the money and is further threatened with 'being taken downtown to police headquarters'. TSA is getting out of control when they think they can pull an individual aside and hold him for carrying cash. The more sinister reason for his detainment, which is revealed in the clip, is his connection with the Ron Paul campaign and the fact that Missouri law enforcement regards these individuals as 'home-grown terrorists'. Be afraid, be very afraid.

POPS"Reasonable Search"? Airport Screening Goes X Rated Ironic, the laws also prevent "indecent exposure" publicly, except for this! The 4th amendment prohibits citizens from unreasonable search or seizure, so what is this? This is insane! PARANOIA fuels this which would not stop any determined terrorists. THIS POLICY IS FRANKLY RUDE AND ABUSIVE OF AIR TRAVELERS.

POPSAmerican's Draconian, Catch 22 private aircraft security. This will be of interest to people with an interest in aviation or America's vanishing freedom. This is a write up by a pilot who recently attended a meeting held by America's TSA (Transportation Security Administration) at the Montrose, Colorado Airport. The TSA -- which has no funding to carry out this Security Directive (SD) -- is applying these draconian regulations to all airports that support any type of commercial operations. That would include airports WITHOUT control towers that may have one or two flights per day serviced by a small commuter airline with, perhaps, a 19 seat prop aircraft.
