Author Post AJ Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 12/21/2006 9:38:33 PM   Phones in the U.S., such as the new Cricket cell phones, are now tapped by the local police and sheriff departments. Ever since he launched the "war on terror," George W. Bush has operated as a monarch. New York Times exposes existence of a covert domestic spying program, members of the U.S. public now know that one of the things Bush chooses to do is to tap their phone calls and emails without search warrants — against the Constitution (unreasonable seraches prohibited by the Fourth Amendment) and federal law. The special court that approves federal wiretapping operates in secrecy and has only turned down 4 government requests (approving 18,742+ requests as of Feb. 2006) for search warrants in 27 years. What does it say when the Bush administration is unwilling to go before even this court? The very size of the fishing expedition is mind-boggling. According to the Times, telecommunication giants like AT&T are cooperating with the scheme by giving the National Security Agency access to their facilities and databases, through which millions of phone and email messages flow each day. NSA computers pick through this incredible stream of data to identify targets for surveillance; thousands of Americans are now being monitored. Zodiac Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 12/21/2006 11:26:53 PM   AJ, I will give you 7 signs why I think U.S. is becoming a police state: 1. The Internet Clampdown - While the masses are spoon-fed predigested news on TV and in mainstream print publications, the truth-seeking individual still has access to a broad array of investigative reporting and political opinion via the world-wide web. Of course, it was only a matter of time before the government moved to patch up this hole. 2. Perpetual War - The perpetual war justifies suspension of civil liberties, military expansion, domestic spying, massive deficit spending, etc. 3. The USA PATRIOT Act - Did anyone really think this was going to be temporary? Yes, this disgusting power grab gives the government the right to sneak into your house, look through all your stuff and not tell you about it for weeks on a rubber stamp warrant. Yes, they can look at your medical records and library selections. Yes, they can pass along any information they find without probable cause for purposes of prosecution. No, they're not going to take it back, ever. 4. Prison Camps - This last January the Army Corps of Engineers gave Halliburton subsidiary Kellogg Brown & Root nearly $400 million to build detention centers in the United States, for the purpose of unspecified "new programs", such as detention facilities to hold masses. 5. Touchscreen Voting Machines - Despite clear, copious evidence that these nefarious contraptions are built to be tampered with, they continue to spread and dominate the voting landscape, thanks to Bush's "Help America Vote Act," the exploitation of corrupt elections officials, and the general public's enduring cluelessness. Bush just suggested that his brother Jeb (member of PNAC) would make a good president. We really need to fix this problem soon. 6. Signing Statements - Bush has famously never vetoed a bill. This is because he prefers to simply nullify laws he doesn't like with "signing statements." Bush has issued over 700 such statements, twice as many as all previous presidents combined. A few examples of recently passed laws and their corresponding dismissals, courtesy of the Boston Globe: --Dec. 30, 2005: US interrogators cannot torture prisoners or otherwise subject them to cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment. --Bush's signing statement: The president, as commander in chief, can waive the torture ban if he decides that harsh interrogation techniques will assist in preventing terrorist attacks. --Dec. 30, 2005: When requested, scientific information ''prepared by government researchers and scientists shall be transmitted [to Congress] uncensored and without delay." --Bush's signing statement: The president can tell researchers to withhold any information from Congress if he decides its disclosure could impair foreign relations, national security, or the workings of the executive branch. --Dec. 23, 2004: Forbids US troops in Colombia from participating in any combat against rebels, except in cases of self-defense. Caps the number of US troops allowed in Colombia at 800. --Bush's signing statement: Only the president, as commander in chief, can place restrictions on the use of US armed forces, so the executive branch will construe the law ''as advisory in nature." 7. Warrantless Wiretapping - As you mentioned above. Deano Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 12/22/2006 1:16:30 AM   WTF! Find a political forum to write this bullshit. True or not. It does not belong in this forum. zeeco Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 12/22/2006 7:48:59 AM   Well said, who cares! AJ Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 12/22/2006 4:25:08 PM   America's largest corporations are less likely to face an IRS audit this year than at any time in the past decade. Audits of corporations have fallen 26% percent over the same four-year period. Average taxpayers, such as "who cares" zeeco, are not so fortunate. Audits of individual tax returns have climbed 37% from 2001 to 2006. Congress recently raised the IRS budget to $10.68 billion, which includes an increase in money earmarked for enforcement activities. Too bad fiance.com didn't allow my reply to Deano. gladiatorUK Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 12/23/2006 7:05:23 AM   AJ: probably the reason fiance.com didn't allow your reply has something to do with the fact that nothing is relevant to this forum.........which is exactly what Deano said in the first place! And what zeeco emphasised in his reply too!! Cycleserg Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 12/23/2006 10:14:56 AM   What the hell does this post got to do with finding love with an FSU woman? Why don't you post this drivel in a political forum somewhere else? AJ Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 12/23/2006 4:45:23 PM   Then adopt a "don't read, don't reply" policy rather than bitchin' about it. gladiatorUK Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 12/23/2006 5:18:19 PM   AJ: as difficult as it may seem,DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT THIS FORUM IS ABOUT? Quite simply this place is for FSU dating,romance,finding your special partner,and in no way a soapbox to spout political rantings.The internet has 1000's if not millions of political forums where your views will be welcomed.Here is NOT one of them. It's not a case of "don't read,don't reply" as you eloquently put it.It's the WRONG place for stuff like this.God knows....it bores the majority here,especially non-american members. Take it elsewhere! Sergey Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 12/23/2006 5:23:39 PM   I agree with gladiator because it scares away the Russian brides. AJ Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 12/23/2006 8:26:07 PM   That's ridiculous, at least coming from those on this "soap box". Tonytitan Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 12/24/2006 10:30:33 AM   I have two questions: 1) Why have you resorted to denigrating this forum that you seem so intent to post upon? 2) What do YOU gain from posting this information here? What's in it for you? Olga Moderator send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 12/24/2006 11:05:50 AM   this is AJ's job probably to post those messages to all forum on the internet. AJ, everybody has asked you to stop such posts here. gladiatorUK Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 12/24/2006 12:53:38 PM   Thank you Olga, hopefully that will be the end of the matter. Merry Christmas to all at Fiance.Com. AJ Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 12/24/2006 3:27:42 PM   "The People versus the Powerful is the oldest story in human history.

I propose that admin lock this thread and should AJ wish to continue the discussion then he open a new thread titled appropriately, something like 'A load of shite about US mobile phones', then we will know to 'don't read'. Thanking you and Happy Christmas. Your Reply: Your name:   New Registration Password:   Forgot password?   refresh Code:   Russian brides > Main Forum > BEWARE OF THE CRICKET !!!
