Dear King George,
I'll monitor my own damn phone calls and if I hear something suspicious,
I'll call
you.
Got it?
Good!
Shame on you for not trusting Americans to look out for themselves and their own country. You have sadly misunderestimated us, to put it your way.
unfurl below--->
Futhermore, I expect you to propose a memorably numbered nationwide toll-free hotline, staffed by ethical and knowledgeable professionals who are ready to take my call and act on it promptly.
Finally, I expect that a proper warrant will be sought in lawful, timely, fashion; and obtained, whether through normal channels or through the FISC, as constitutionally required, so as to ensure that any evidence collected therefrom will be admissible in court.
Under those circumstances and those ONLY do you have any authority to intercept domestic telecommunication.
So stay off of my line unless I call you.
Thanks King,
arbortender.
And now, for something not entirely different....
Would today's military fire on me?
I hope they would protect me because I'm an American person, but I still wonder. I was a tiny child when Kent State happened and I guess that was the National Guard on order of the State Governer; but George has got control of the Guard now too, apparently. If King George pointed them at us, how would that go down?
Can he, at this time employ the military as a posse comitatus? I've just read 20 Stat. L., 145 CHAP. 263 SEC. 15. June 18, 1878;
10 U.S.C. 375; and 18 U.S.C. 1385.
But then there's 32 CFR 501.4., which, in a nutshell says: "Martial law depends for its justification upon public necessity." Public Necessity? Is that a sister of Public Purpose in the Kelo decision?
This appears to substantially weaken, if not render null, the Posse Comitatus Act.
Aparently Reagan revoked Posse Comitatus in 1987 to quell the Atlanta prison riots and Clinton waived it in 1993 for the Waco inferno.
What about Executive Order 11490? Still feel protected? No wonder FEMA had no resources at its disposal.
If Kent State is unfamiliar territory to you (youth, etc.), go read these song lyrics and this analysis of the event.
I'm a little nervous.
Also, I'm curious....
about the new Federal Money Laundering Guidelines to implement the P.A.T.R.I.O.T Act, which hit the Federal Register earlier this week. Does this apply only to those King George thinks are terrorists, or is there some kind of nice spanking in there for Abramoff and his legions?
And finally,
BIG SHOUT OUT to San Francisco's Mayor Gavin Newsom and Police Chief Heather Fong, who are both taking heavy flak for taking decisive action over a videotape shot by 24 San Francisco police officers, depicting many of those officers engaging in racist, sexist and homophobic activities, in uniform. on city time. The videos surfaced on the in December on a website run by one of the officers. All 24 were suspended but are back on the job with further investigation pending. Mayor Newsome spoke downtown at Grace Cathedral today to listen to the community and answer questions
Give Mayor Newsom some love at http://www.sfgov.org/... for sticking to his guns.
We'll have no more of this crap, thank you.
All for now.
Goodnight.
Yours treely.
