Redefining terrorism

I'm worried.

I'm concerned that many of the anti-terrorism laws we're passing in America won't be used against terrorists at all, but rather against ordinary citizens.

In fact, there's evidence it is happening already.

Let me give you one example.

Steven A. Magritz of Wisconsin doesn't fit the terrorist profile. Yet he is the state's first victim of an anti-terrorism unit formed after the Sept. 11 attacks.

In 2001, Dane County seized his 62-acre property in the town of Fredonia because he reportedly didn't pay some $30,000 in property taxes. Now the property, with frontage on the Milwaukee River, is being turned into parkland.

Well, understandably, Magritz was pretty upset by the action. So what did he do? Did he hijack a plane? No. Did he make threatening comments to government officials? No. Did he hold anyone hostage? No.

Instead, what he did was to file legal documents against government officials that were found to be false.

For this, he has been found guilty of "paper terrorism" and faces up to 70 years in prison and fines totaling $70,000.

If voting could really change things,
it would be illegal. Here is hoping for change!

This is how they will wear us down.

No matter how strong you are, how prepared you are.... eventually, something you currently do will be criminalized and you won't even be aware of it. Those old milk crates you use for recycling, for instance. Or, having more than one cell phone... or wearing Ron Paul t-shirt to a McCain rally.. oh, sorry - that's already true - but you get my drift.

Next, it's time to 'turn in your neighbor' because that's the American thing to do, so the blind flag wavers will call the cops on you because you legally own firearms. It doesn't matter that they're legal - you'll spend years and thousands of dollars trying to get them back.

I think it's time we faced facts.... if voting could truly change things in government, it would be illegal.

I may not know the truth, but I know when I'm being lied to...

This is how banana republics operate. Is a property really yours when you have to pay taxes on it? At least you have a fighting chance with a highway robber.
