 It has finally happened. Excerpt from a recent newswire article by Al Martin, entitled 'The Global Economic Meltdown': "It's not people who have checked out books on the making of bombs or surveillance techniques. That's only part of it. This program is actually part of a national database effort undertaken by Homeland Security pursuant to the Office of Internal Security's CTAC Program (Civilian Threat Assessment Classification). They're looking for any books that "espouse views contrary to the security of the state." This is from the CTAC Memorandum conducted under the auspices of the Office of Internal Security, a part of Homeland Security. An example is the book "1984" by George Orwell. This book is now considered "seditious." It is the view of the Office of Homeland Security that 1984 promotes distrust of government, therefore constitutes a threat to security. Books that are critical of current state security measures and books critical of Bushonian policy are also on the list. The big program which is being orchestrated to establish a national database on all citizens, a national profile on all citizens by the Office of Internal Security to assign every American citizen a CTAC classification number. Numbers will go from 1 to 8; 1 means that you are a loyal naïve flag waving Republican white heterosexual blond haired blue eyed -- you get the idea. Their naiveté is beyond question. Number 8 will include people like me, people known to publicly espouse views contrary to the security of the state or critical of new state security measures and Bush regime policies. " World War 2 was for nothing. Nazism has returned, and it now dominates the USA, hence will shortly dominate the world. |

Jump To Comment: 1 2Not that I dont believe you, but without citing your sources, its useless as a reference article. Do some journalism, goddammit. Fascism is coming, and we write like a bunch of hippy dope-smokers. Precision is a weapon. *g*. Check out H.S. Thompson, Fear & Loathing on the Campaign trail 1972.
Precision killed Goliath.
This thing about CTAC or whatever is probably bullshit, but it has been widely reported that John Ashcroft wants to know what the Americans are reading:
