Obama’s Hard Line Neo-Con Agenda
In less two years, Obama outdid Bush, adopting the worst of his policies, establishing more of his own, and accelerating America faster on the road to despotism!
Bush made America a police state.
Obama hardened it – among other ways through:
– greater intrusive surveillance;
– unjustifiable preventive detentions;
– targeting American citizens for assassination, solely by presidential edict;– invoking the “state secrets” doctrine to block litigation against rendition, torture, and warrantless wiretapping;
– opposing Net Neutrality;
– threatening free expression and the right to dissent, including online;
– prosecuting whistleblowers as well as journalists and others who protect their anonymity or publish their revelations; and
– making anyone against US extremism vulnerable to lawless political persecutions, especially anti-war and Muslim American activists as well as lawyers who defend them too vigorously.
The USA Patriot Act eroded at least four Bill of Rights freedoms:
– due process under the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments;
– First Amendment free expression; and
– Fourth Amendment right to be free from unreasonable searches, seizures, and as a consequence privacy.
Obama of course has only reenforced this erosion to the Bill of Rights.
Operation Dark Heart – Book Burning by Obama Administration
Book Burning is no longer the sole shame of Nazi Germany. On September 25, 2010, the Obama administration (through the Pentagon) burned all 9,500 first run copies of Anthony Shaffer’s memoir “Operation Dark Heart.” (due to “Operation Able Danger” which was a unit of military intelligence that identified four of the 9/11 hijackers as Al-Qaeda members in the summer of 2000 but were told to not share this information with the FBI)
