Who thinks that our federal government is headed down the path of tyranny?
I never would have thought we could come so far as nation based on freedom from tyranny and oppression to where we are at now-the verge of extinction of our way of life.
I think some states have realized that they have ceded so much power to the federal government that they are on the path of becoming insignificant in laws and rights. They want their power back under the constitution but I am afraid that it may be too late as the federal government has passed so many laws that make state rights irrelevant.
To those who think we are not headed that way
Defintion of Tyranny: oppressive power exerted by government
For the Bush haters–example of this is Homeland security and and patriot act
For Obama haters–his expansion of National Security council and some things wrote up in his stimulus package and signing of executive orders that would ultimately effect freedoms.
Laugh all you want at this crazy notion but I bet the germans and jews didn’t think Hitler was gonna do what he did either.
Well I certainly do ! I have never seen this in my lifetime. He’s been in office less than 3 weeks, can’t guess what it will be like in 6 months !
What are some Police Brutality victims?
I have to do a project on Police Brutality, and for one of my paragraphs I have to explain the kind of people targeted by Police?
Like different races, sex, age, a skateboarder?
Any more ideas, thankS!

Just so you know, the police do not target or profile people based on race, sex or age.
I thought "Prison Planet" had been shut down by the State Department. What happened?

Why is this subversive material allowed in the United States?
The First Amendment to the Constitution of The United States of America prevents the censorship of even the most ridiculous types of speech.
MPs say ‘UK risks drtifting into surveillance society’ Who do they think doesn’t know UK is already the worst?
Sunday, June 8 LONDON (Reuters) – The government must guard against the drift into a "surveillance society", only keeping data on individuals as long as is absolutely necessary, a parliamentary committee said on Sunday.
The Home Affairs Committee called on the government to adopt a principle of what it called "data minimisation", collecting only essential information and keeping it under a tight curb.
"What we are calling for is an overall principle of ‘least data, for least time’," said committee chairman Keith Vaz.
"We have all seen over the past year extraordinary examples of how badly things can go wrong when data is mishandled, with potentially disastrous consequences."
Last year a government department lost in the post two unencrypted computer discs containing the personal and banking details of 25 million people claiming child benefit.
Concern was also raised after it emerged that police recorded a prisoner’s conversation with his local MP
Yahoo news/BBC News
In ’79, the Chair of a US Senate Panel probing national security questions said, "If Govt ever falls into the wrong hands, there’d be no place to hide"
& covert surveillance gizmos have multiplied since then
Who really thinks ‘weather satellites’ only watch clouds?
They can read licence numbers
& train lasers onto windows to record conversation via vibrations in glass
CBS’ Dan Schorr & CBC’s Des Smith said, in the ’70s. that the TV end of fiber optic cable TV has a tiny fish eye lens
& central computer over-ride means even when the set is off, they can record all in the TV room
State by state in ’70s used Home Certification Ordinances to set min standards of security
Only homes with cable pass
Ads said, "If you go out & leave anything turned on, don’t worry: we can detect it in seconds & turn it off for you"
Controls go 2 ways
To achieve politicos’ dream of 100% healthy, harmonious, productive society, turn on gas at night in homes of old/sick/enemies..
Hi M1ss-X!
NMews not long ago said they are working on gizmos to read your thoughts

In dictatorships, mental hospitals are run, not by a health service, but by the secret service
Critics/enemies of Govt are branded insane
Several good answers so far
I’ll extend expiry time to encourage more creative research & get an outright best answer, OK?
Yahoo/google George Orwell’s classic, 1984 & Aldous Huxley classic, Brave New World
Do results say that Orwell was high up in Brit Intelligence?
& that Huxley’s brother, Julian, was high up in UNESCO & persuaded them to use the book as the model for 24×7 media brainwashing
Yahoo/google 1948 Conference on Mental Health
Do results say it defined mental illness in terms of non-compliance with ‘authority’?
If not, why not???
Mental hospitals in dictatorships are run, not by a health service, but by the secret service

Hi Equalise
Foreign readers may well tie that to UK’s colonial legacy faster than young Brits, whose history syllabus may obscure anything in history that seems inconvenient to ‘the powers that be’
Together with many guest musicians from both Africa & our twin port city, Mobile Alabama, toured Liverpool Albert Dock’s International Slavery Museum
& it’s powerful
Especially knowing that little kids, like missing Madeleine, are being kidnapped & slave-traded daily in the global pervo pedophile circuit
Hi Lorne!
Thanks for reminder that I didn’t specifically acknowledge the post – best so far – @ Labour charging a member of 80+ – under terror laws – for merely protesting @ Jack Straw @ Labour Conference
A reminder of the Trotskyite leanings of he left wing, yes?
Marg
U R reported for commercial exploitation
All the above I have witnessed with the National Crime squad here in England,the stuff I could tell you about re the police surveillance esp would blow your mind,I was a target with these people cos of people I knew(still am)and beside the gizmos youve also got to handle what amount to FBI style psyops,this certainly isnt Dixon Of Dock Green anymore fella,serious stuff!!
Is Iran’s political unrest trouble for world oil supply? Why are we not drilling for oil in America?
Was John McCain ahead of the curve on this? Can America’s unemployed handle another round of bad economic news?
Several times energy policies were put forth during the Bush administration that would have allowed domestic drilling.
Each time the Dems done everything in their power to prevent us from tapping our own resources.
Tyranny…?
Can someone give me a clear definition of this and tell me if it HAS to be in government
Tyranny is complete rule (usually through force or fear) by one person. It is not limited to government. For example, your mom can be a tyrant (one who rules through tyranny) by not letting you go anywhere or do anything unless she’s with you.
