If You Don't Hear From Me!
As you know Ashcroft and Bush both have called me a terrorist..and a traitor as well...In Senate hearings on December 6, 2001, Ashcroft said,”To those who scare peace-loving people with phantoms of lost liberty, my message is this, your tactics only aid terrorists for they erode our national unity and diminish our resolve. They give ammunition to America’s enemies and pause to America’s friends.” Then Resident Bush said,” You are with us or you are with the enemy."
Since the passage of USAPATRIOT ACT and its additions like the Intelligence Act that was passed a year ago, the cops can arrest any of us without charging us with a crime...the cops can go into your house day or night without out a warrant and take ANYTHING that they want to... you have no right to contact a lawyer or family or friends..........AND the cops don't even have to have "probable cause" or a suspicion to invade your privacy and your life..
The cops can do all of this stuff on a whim...For example, if you walk into the post office in the federal building to mail a letter and an FBI agent upstairs happens to be looking out the window and he might think to himself..." Hmmmm...I wonder who the heck that is?....Well, I guess I had better find out."
That is all that is takes for you to be deprived of your rights as an American citizen...and this is what our families and friends have fought and died for since 1776?
And now it is legal for the CIA to pick you up and send you to a foreign country for imprisonment.....I doubt if they will dump you on the beaches of Jamaica or Barbados.....mostly likely as the US and the Canadians have done, they'll send you to Syria or Turkey or G-Bay Cuba where they love to torture folks.
I don't believe that I am much threat to the security of Dubya Bush or G.F.Y. Cheney or the rest of the radical ruling class, but Jose Padilla...no threat to anyone... has been in prison for 2 1/2 years with no charges made against him...and we have seen fascism before in the 1950's....What threat were Will Geer (the grandfather on the Waltons), or Pete Seeger, or John Garfield, or Dalton Trumbo, or Ring Lardner, Jr?
So just remember me as a sweet kid who liked to read and go trout fishing and pick blue-berries, raspberries, and blackberries.
