1. Patriot Act - The War on Civil Liberties (1/3)



Uploaded by: tyrannyofsoulz
Video Description:
A brief history of the Patriot Act, showing the many deceptions brought in by the Bush Administration, including: requesting total secrecy form public input and swapping at the last moment, the original Bill that Congress agreed to sign, with one manipulated by the Administration. The Administration's version of the Bill contained unconstitutional provisions that had been rejected earlier by Congress.
Regardless, Congress rushed to pass an, otherwise, unread Bill which sought to greatly expand all federal law enforcement powers -- far beyond their intended means. Hence, America would later discover that the Patriot Act had little, if anything, to do with fighting the actual "war on terror" and much more to do with bypassing the civil protections, granted under the US Constitution.

Why don't you move ... ( 1 week ago by TexanProgressive)
Why don't you move to Russia or North Korea? You can be certain that the govt. has full authority and power to do what it takes to keep you safe. They are smart enough to realize that civil liberties put us in danger and really just get in the way of the trustworthy folks in the government doing what is in the people's best interest.
"If you aren't ... ( 1 week ago by TexanProgressive)
"If you aren't doing anything illegal, then what do you care?" What if it becomes illegal to be an atheist? After all, George Bush Sr. said that atheists shouldn't be considered citizens. Forget the first amendment!
"They don't tap the phones of common people" Oh so they know a priori that these people are criminals before they even tap their phone lines.
By the way, the Libertarians are the most against the Patriot Act, not "liberal scum".

Texas! Well said my man! Exactly, if your not doing anything illegal why would it bother you that the government is tapping your lines. Do people really think that they will investigate anything people say wrong about the governemnt. I think they know when someone is planning a attack or just speaking out! That is the reason for the phone tapping. Like the Gov is going to come after you for anything. Pathetic, Left Wing, Cancerous, Parasitic, Liberalism. "The Ultimate American Disease"
The US government, ... ( 1 week ago by undeadpresident)
The US government, like many others, has a history of abusing its power by surveillancing and harassing political dissenters. Don't believe it? Look up cointel pro. It totally makes sense that those in power will use whatever means necessary to protect it. I don't trust intelligence agencies to have the power to listen to my phone conversations at will. Their records of human rights violations and political suppression speak for themselves. Get educated before you start name calling, moron.

Its obvious that ... ( 1 week ago by fatslob26)
Its obvious that the Patriot Act could not have been written after 9/11, it was planned and written long before hand. Of course, anyone that said as much was declared to be unpatriotic at the time it was passed, so it wasn't revealed to the public until long after it was too late.
I am going to say ... ( 1 week ago by dfc278)
I am going to say what is the truth. Please human rights violations today? Maybe 50 years ago, but these days please. Your a conspiracy theorists. You don't trust them listening to your phone conversations b/c you have something to hide. I have nothing to hide and I want terrorists dead! I am an American and loyal to my superiors! I despise Liberal Scum!

i'd love to be able to use the US patriot act. i'd spy on hot girls and the senators their doing. afterwards i'd feel sick after seeing a gross pervert with a double standard using his willy.

im an american to and i dont care about terrorists because the only major terrorist attack was 911 which is shrouded in mystery. the only news i ever hear about terrorists is happening in the middle east and i couldnt care less whats happening in the middle east. american foreign policy is horrible. we should just leave the world alone and stop harrasing weaker nations.
You people need to ... ( 1 week ago by dfc278)
You people need to grow thicker skin. The Gov is not going to go after you b/c you say anything bad against the U.S. The FBI and CIA have better things to do than to investigate some Liberal Scum that is against what the Gov does! Seriously, they have more important items to worry about!

9/11 was an inside job. Bush even let the Saudi's fly out of the country when no one else could fly, not even Ricky Martin. The three towers fell at freefall speed, which can only happen if explosives blow out the supports below the airplane impacts. Building 7 wasn't even hit by a plane and it just imploded.
Bullshit they have ... ( 3 days ago by undeadpresident)
Bullshit they have a long history of going after people for what they say. Why don't you read about Martin Luther King. The FBI had an entire operation of character assasination against him, including writing false articles in media accusing him of being communist. They infiltrated his organization, bugged his hotel rooms and home, and attempted to drive him to suicide. Thats just one example. Just look up cointelpro. I personally have been targetted by them for whistle-blowing about Iraq.

Well, you're a douche-bag. Look at the powers the government has; you want that! What the fuck happened to limited government. And yes, they investigate groups and even jail people without due cause because of their ethnicity. And forget habeas corpus.

That is Left Wing Propaganda! The Patriot Act is for terrorism and to fight it and thwart any future attacks. People who have average civilian jobs don't see this!

Well, this is the United States; so, it's the people you've got to convince. I don't trust you or the government, which is the right thing to do. The government spends our money and is accountable only to us. But, the president doesn't seem to think so.
The FBI didn't even ... ( 2 days ago by FromBoomTown)
The FBI didn't even need probable cause to snoop around in people's houses--this is in the initial act. It was very vague on the definition of terrorism as well. And the military commissions act told the justice department to screw off. I read it a while back, so correct me if I'm wrong here.
No the FBI does ... ( 2 days ago by dfc278)
No the FBI does need the reason for the search or surveilence is solely on suspicion of Terrorism. I don't know about you but I am willing to do whatever it takes to thwart any terrorists plans of attack?
Terrorism is very ... ( 1 day ago by FromBoomTown)
Terrorism is very vague. Very vague: anyone who opposes the government could somehow be put under terrorist under the initial Patriot Act. Even innocent citizens were arrested. Not everyone is as good-willed as you.

Yea I see things as terorrists must be stopped at all costs, and I want them all dead! That's how I see it Lefty!
