Secret               police,               library               record               surveillance,               wiretapping               and               forced               detention,               all               done               in               secrecy,               seems               like               a               horror               reserved               for               other               countries,               like               Hitler¹s               Germany,               rather               than               something               that               is               practiced               in               the               "land               of               the               free"               USA.

Perhaps               it               is               the               tendency               that               we               have               of               being               blind               to               what               is               directly               in               front               of               us,               or               maybe               it               is               because               we,               as               a               people,               are               kept               preoccupied               and               busy               that               many               of               us               do               not               realize               that               with               the               passing               of               the               Patriot               Act               on               October               26,               2001,               our               government               is               doing               just               that.

Now,               with               a               bill               dubbed               the               Patriot               Act               II,               more               Big               Brother               monitoring               and               control               may               be               on               its               way.

The               Patriot               Act               was               hurriedly               passed               in               the               aftermath               of               9-11.

The               word               "patriot"               in               the               Patriot               Act               is               an               acronym               that               spells               out               "Providing               Appropriate               Tools               Required               to               Intercept               and               Obstruct               Terrorism".

While               the               premise               of               this               act               may               seem               justifiable,               especially               immediately               after               a               tragedy               that               was               categorized               as               an               act               of               terrorism,               this               legislation               slowly               consumes               many               civil               liberties               that               this               country               has               prided               itself               on               since               its               conception.

This               act               gives               law               enforcement               officials               broader               authority               to               conduct               electronic               surveillance               and               wiretaps.

It               also               gives               the               president               the               authority               to               confiscate               any               and               all               property               within               US               jurisdiction               of               anyone               who               is               believed               to               be               engaging               in               terrorism               when               the               country               is               "under               attack".

The               Act               also               affects               financial               activities               and               Immigration.

The               bill               was               passed               by               a               vote               of               357-66               by               the               House               of               Representatives               and               98-1               by               the               Senate.

"Today,               we               take               an               essential               step               in               defeating               terrorism               while               protecting               the               constitutional               rights               of               all               Americans,"               George               W.

Bush               said               during               the               signing               ceremony.

While               Bush¹s               rhetoric               may               have               been               convincing               to               the               general               public,               the               Act,               in               reality,               infringes               on               our               Constitutional               Rights.
               Patriot               Act               I
               "These               new               and               unchecked               powers               could               be               used               against               American               citizens               who               are               not               under               criminal               investigation,               immigrants               who               are               here               within               our               borders               legally               and               also               against               those               whose               First               Amendment               activities               are               deemed               to               be               threats               to               national               security               by               the               Attorney               General,"               Gregory               T.

Nojeim,               Associate               Director               of               the               American               Civil               Liberties               Union's               Washington               Office               stated.

Critics               of               the               Patriot               Act               complain               that               it               funnels               excessive               power               to               the               Executive               branch               of               the               government               while               limiting               the               Congress               and               Judicial               branch,               thus               eliminating               some               of               the               "checks               and               balances"               that               were               designed               to               keep               our               government               accountable.
               Surveillance
               The               Patriot               Act               provides               federal               agencies               with               more               surveillance               options               and               less               judicial               supervision.

"Roving               wiretaps"               are               one               example               of               the               new               legalized               powers               of               the               government               with               the               passing               of               the               Patriot               Act.

It               allows               a               roving               wiretap               that               allows               a               person's               conversations               to               be               intercepted               on               multiple               phones,               including               cell               phones               and               other               phones               a               target               uses               (possibly               in               someone               else's               home).

This               can               now               be               done               without               probable               cause.

These               roving               wiretaps               are,               of               course,               authorized               secretly.
               Before               the               Act,               the               government               could               order               a               telephone               company               to               turn               over               a               list               of               the               numbers               being               dialed               to               and               from               a               particular               telephone               on               an               order               from               a               judge.

The               Patriot               Act               forces               a               judge               to               grant               the               order               if               the               government               certifies               that               the               information               sought               is               "relevant               to               ongoing               criminal               investigation",               regardless               of               whether               or               not               the               judge               agrees.
               It               also               allows               the               government               access               to               dialing,               routing               and               signaling               information               in               connection               with               computers.

This               means               that               the               government               lawfully               has               access               to               emails               sent               and               received               and               a               list               of               websites               visited               on               a               computer.

After               obtaining               a               warrant,               feds               will               be               able               to               track               all               websites               people               visit               from               a               public               library               and               obtain               all               the               email               addresses               involved               in               any               correspondence,               without               the               library               being               able               to               tell               its               patrons               that               surveillance               is               taking               place.
               Feds               will               also               be               monitoring               library               use,               and               instead               of               being               required               to               show               probable               cause               to               get               a               search               warrant               for               library               records,               patron               registration               information               and               internet               use               records,               now               an               agent               must               only               explain               why               he/she               thinks               that               records               may               be               related               to               terrorism               or               intelligence               investigations.

Under               the               Act,               librarians               will               be               under               a               gag               order               preventing               them               from               telling               library               users               that               their               records               were               turned               over               to               the               feds               for               ongoing               monitoring.
               It¹s               not               only               libraries               that               are               affected               -               bookstores               are               under               the               same               microscope.

Warrants               can               be               obtained               quite               easily               that               allow               agents               to               collect               "any               tangible               things"               in               a               bookstore               (or               library).

This               would               include               customer               records               and               personal               information,               book               circulation               records,               disks               and               computers.

"We               now               know               that               bookstores               and               libraries               have               received               such               subpoenas               asking               for               the               purchase               or               lending               records               of               their               patrons.

It               is               a               truly               frightening               day               in               America               when               bookstores               are               considering               destroying               their               records               so               when               the               government               comes               knocking               at               the               door               to               find               out               what               their               customers               have               been               reading               they               will               have               nothing               to               turn               over,"               Senator               Russ               Feingold               (Democrat,               Wisconsin)               said.
               Immigration
               The               Patriot               Act               enables               the               Attorney               General               to               certify               that               he               has               "reasonable               grounds               to               believe"               that               a               non-citizen               endangers               national               security.

He               can               detain               and               deport               non-citizens               with               little               or               no               judicial               review.

The               Attorney               General               and               the               Secretary               of               State               now               have               the               authority               to               designate               domestic               groups               as               terrorist               organizations,               and               can               deport               any               non-citizen               who               is               a               part               of               them.

"If               you               overstay               your               visas               even               by               one               day,               we               will               arrest               you.

If               you               violate               a               local               law               -               we               will               hope               that               you               will,               and               work               to               make               sure               that               you               are               put               in               jail               and               be               kept               in               custody               as               long               as               possible,"               John               Ashcroft               vowed               to               "suspected               terrorists".
               Other               Powers
               The               Attorney               General               announced               that               he               intends               to               eavesdrop               on               inmates¹               attorney-client               conversations.

"I¹ve               heard               discussion               of               it               on               some               of               the               talk               shows               in               our               state..."               Maria               Canwell               (Washington               Senator)               said.

"Attorneys               [were]               calling               in               and               saying               that               information,               their               private               conversations               between               them               and               their               client,               were               being               gathered."
               The               Attorney               General               has               said               that               he               intends               to               have               state               and               local               law               enforcement               help               question               5000               people               who               appear               to               have               been               selected               based               on               ethnicity               or               religion.
               The               President               issued               an               Executive               order               declaring               that               he               will               decide               when               trials               will               take               place               before               military               commissions               rather               than               in               normal               courts.
               Freedom               of               the               press               means               very               little               if               one               cannot               read               books               freely.

Our               freedom               to               gather               means               virtually               nothing               if               a               group               or               organization               can               be               deemed               a               terrorist               group               at               the               sole               discretion               of               the               Attorney               General               or               Secretary               of               State.

Due               process               of               law               is               extinct               if               the               government               is               allowed               to               detain               people               based               not               on               evidence,               but               on               their               "belief"               that               they               are               involved               in"terrorist"               activity,               keep               them               in               secret               locations,               and               refuse               to               share               their               locations,               conditions,               state               of               well-being               or               reasons               for               detaining               them.
               Some               members               of               Congress               have               become               worried.

Those               who               are               conscious               enough               have               asked               the               Justice               Department               to               show               how               it               is               using               its               new               powers.

They               have               received               little               to               no               information,               however.

In               fact,               most               of               the               information               regarding               libraries               and               bookstores               have               been               classified               as               ³confidential²               and               has               not               been               released               to               Congress.

               As               if               the               original               Patriot               Act               wasn't               adequate               to               discourage               the               public               from               freely               voicing               their               opinions,               reading               what               they               wish,               and               feeling               free               in               the               country               that               sees               itself               as               the               defender               of               freedom               and               democracy,               a               new               bill               dubbed               the               Patriot               Act               II               that               is               secretly               in               the               works               will               reduce               our               privacy               even               more.

The               Center               for               PUblic               Integrity               obtained               a               draft               of               the               new               legislation               that               was               dated               January               9,               2003,               and               has               published               it               on               the               internet.

This               unreleased               draft               proves               that,               although               they               have               denied               such               a               bill,               the               government               is               planning               a               new               legislation               that               further               empowers               the               government.
               After               the               Center               published               the               story               and               the               draft               of               the               bill,               the               government,               who               had               previously               denied               any               knowledge               of               such               a               proposal,               changed               its               story.

               Patriot               Act               II               allows               the               government               to:

The               question               is,               what               is               the               definition               of               a               terrorist?

Because               these               acts               allow               "terrorist               individuals               or               groups"               to               be               determined               by               the               discretion               of               an               individual,               anyone               who               has               views               outside               of               what               the               government               deems               acceptable               may               be               considered               a               terrorist.

Will               anti-war               protesters               be               seen               as               terrorists               or               national               security               threats?

Will               your               neighbor               who               checks               out               a               book               be               deemed               a               terrorist?
               The               Attorney               General               and               the               Executive               Branch               of               the               government               are               receiving               huge               amounts               of               power               that               will               be               unchecked               by               the               other               governmental               branches.

Opponents               to               political               power               and               other               "threats"               are               at               risk               of               being               squashed,               detained               or               dubbed               terrorists.

Our               democracy               may               slowly               be               heading               down               the               path               of               totalitarianism.

    So               you               want               to               see               history               being               made               -               yes?

    No?

    Maybe?

    I               will               give               you               my               best               advice               as               a               DC               resident               on               how               to               cope               with               the               Inauguration               madness               on               January               20,               2009               and               the               preceding               week.

    First,               some               facts.
                   1)               The               Washington               Metrorail               averages               about               600-700,000               daily               passengers.

    Current               estimates               are               for               as               many               as               4               million               people               to               be               on               the               Mall               and               along               Pennsylvania               Avenue               on               Inauguration               Day.

    Most               of               those               attending               will               be               from               out               of               town.

    Some               will               walk               to               their               hotel,               some               will               try               to               get               a               cab,               a               few               will               take               buses               running               on               a               reduced               (?!)               schedule               but               most               will               probably               crowd               into               the               Metro               along               with               many               of               the               folks               who               actually               work               for               a               living               in               DC.

    Most               white               collar               workers               will               have               the               day               off               but               blue               collar               service               workers               selling               food               and               booze               will               mostly               work               the               mother               of               all               overtime               shifts.

    In               short,               it               will               be               amazingly               tight               on               the               Metro,               both               on               the               trains               and               on               the               platforms.

    Metro               is               running               the               trains               on               a               rush-hour               level               schedule               from               4               a.m.

    to               7               p.m               straight               and               will               certainly               set               a               new               daily               passenger               volume               record.
                   2)               Washington               is               not               Montreal               but               late               January               is               not               much               fun               for               a               lot               of               people               here.

    It's               fairly               cold               and               damp               with               wind;               at               Dulles               Airport,               the               temperature               stays               on               average               just               barely               below               freezing,               with               daily               highs               and               lows               below               and               above.

    Recall               the               massive               crowds               and               how               thick               it               will               be               along               all               of               the               routes;               finding               a               warm               shelter               to               take               a               break               may               well               constitute               giving               up               on               viewing               the               events.
