Bush
Outlaws All War Protest In
United States
By:

In one of
his most chilling moves to date against his own citizens, the American
War Leader has issued a sweeping order this week outlawing all forms of
protest against the
President
Bush enacted into US law an ‘Executive
Order’ on July 17th
titled "Blocking
Property of Certain Persons Who Threaten Stabilization Efforts in Iraq",
and which says:
According
to Russian legal experts, the greatest concern to the American people
are the underlying provisions of this new law, and which, they state,
are written ‘so broadly’ as to outlaw all forms of protest against
the war. These provisions
state:
To the
subsection of this new US law, according to these legal experts, that
says "...the
making of any contribution or provision of funds, goods, or services by,
to, or for the benefit...",
the insertion of the word ‘services’
has broad, and catastrophic, consequences for the American people in
that any act deemed by their government to be against the Iraqi war is,
in fact, supporting the ‘enemy’
and therefore threatens the ‘stabilization
of Iraq’.
In an even
greater affront to the American people are the provisions of a law
called The
Patriot Act, and
that should they run afoul of this new law they are forbidden to allow
anyone to know about it, and as we can read as reported by the Seattle
Times News Service:
It is
interesting to note, too, that this is not the first time that the
United States has unleashed the brutal power of their government against
its citizens to further their war aims and stifle domestic dissent, as
during the European conflict of World War I they enacted a law called The
Sedition Act of 1918
and which "...forbade
Americans to use "disloyal, profane, scurrilous, or abusive
language" about the United States government, flag, or armed forces
during war."
It is
curious to note that after the enactment of this new law there has been
no protest by any of the other political leaders in the United States,
with the exception of the only Muslim member of the United States
Congress, Minnesota
Democrat Keith Ellison,
and who compared President Bush to the Nazi War Leader Adolph Hitler by
stating the attacks upon the World Trade Center could be likened to the
burning of the Reichstag.
Today, as
the United States faces an imminent economic collapse,
while at the same time its war bill has reached the staggering amount of
$648
billion, one of
the last freedoms the American people have had to protest their leaders
actions against them, and other peoples in the World, has now been taken
away from them, the freedom to speak and write in opposition to what is
being done to them.
"If
liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what
they do not want to hear.",
said the great British writer George Orwell,
but, and sadly, liberty has been lost to the once free people of the
United States who are no longer allowed to tell their leaders, or each
other, what they don’t want to hear.
With this
being so, the American people should, likewise, contemplate their ‘new’
future, and as, also, stated best by George Orwell, "If
you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face
- forever."
