WSJ on Safety Before Liberty
by John Young 23 Oct '01

23 Oct '01

Continuing to beat the drum, today's Wall Street Journal offers two essays on how much liberty to give up for safety. One, an Op-Ed by a historian, recounts how in the past the United States Presidents have imposed draconian wartime draconian security measures and trashed civil liberties far more than anything currently contemplated, naming Adams, Lincoln, Franklin Roosevelt, among others. But claims that after the crises passed civil liberties were restored "stronger than ever." So fear not what is in the offing. The second, by a WSJ columnist, argues that enough is too much, that the Bush Administration halt curtailment of civil liberties, and that the sunset provisions of current anti-terrorism proposals are a good thing. These wafflings are diabolical apologies for what Bush coupers are up to, offerings of amelioration to disarm critics. Woolsey, Stew Baker, Bork, the WSJ, the host of oilers and greasers of anti-terrorist power grabbing through crisis-mongering need -- how to say it in safety without sacrificing liberty -- need typhoid mary cigarring, oops, need fifi's homestead featherdusting.

eWe Won't Have CJ Parker and Richard NIxon To Kick Around Any More...
by sonofgomez709 23 Oct '01

23 Oct '01

QWest came around to 'fix' the phone lines today...about an hour before my Probation Officer showed up with two colleagues to 'Jack Me Up' about my posts to the CPUNX Disturbed Male LISP... Prosecutor London, in his closing remarks during my last AllegedImaginary Trial, stated that the reason I would soon be InFarceRated was due to the fact that when the Secret Service sent a couple of guys around to "Jack [Me] Up" and get me to ShutTheFuckUp!, it didn't work? Can eWe say, "DeJa Vu All Over Again?" Sure eWe can... So, the GoodNews is that I can probably avoid being sent back to the BOP to be Tortured4BeingDisAbled simply by ShuttingTheFuckUp! The BadNews, OfCourseOfCourse [TM], is that I have thus far proved incapable of doing so, despite, as a result, having already faced PerseProsExecution, Physical Torture, denial of Constitutional, Civil and Human Rights, Medical Torture and Abuse, and threats of Permanent InFarceRation in a Prison4TheCriminallyInSane... This is probably all of the information eWe need before placing your Bet on the Date of my ReLease rEvokation... Richard Nixon said, "Let me make one thing perfectly clear..." but he never did. Neither will I, but anyone who really wishes to hear what I have to say, without merely using my words and thoughts to provide substantiation of their own WorldvEwe, will find that my interests lie only in providing my own personal Mirror of the Tao, which one is welcome to look into order to take a look at their own Reality [TM] from the perspective of another, in order to expand their ReFlexion and their AwareNess of ThemSelf. FuckTheseMorons! [TM] seem to have a problem with my eMail to the Seattle Times and the CPDMLISP, entitled, "Fuck Thomas Wales, and Fuck His Whole Family..." THEY [TM] seem to be unable to Face the FundaMental Fact which contains the WholePoint of the Message, which points out that, "I'm sure all of the 'nice' things you say about the federal prosecutor who was recently removed from office are true." The Problem, OfCourseOfCourse [TM], is that the Man who was Murdered was, in all likelihood, as the article portrays, a wonderful Father&Husband, a good Neighbor, a Conscientious CitizenUnit, and was Loved by his Dog... Leading to the Real [TM] Problem, for the multitude of people employed in similar positions, which is... Despite the above, the Dude is still Dead... Despite the above, the Dude's Death is, in all likelihood, a direct result of his activities in his chosen career... Despite the above, it may well be that the Dude's Death may have been the result of another CitizenUnit merely replying in kind to Criminal&OR&UnJust Actions enforced at GunPoint by the DeadDude, his CoConSpiritorColleagues, or simply TheSystem itself... MyProblem, OfCourseOfCourse [TM], is that I believe that the EndLessCycle of PeopleFuckingPeople can only be MitiGated&OR&Ended by individuals Facing the Facts of Reality and the Questions thus engendered. e.g. - Fact: Many of the leading Nazis loved opera, and were loved by their dogs. Question: How did Seattle Time's reports on Hitler's death compare to the article on Thomas Wales? FCI-TRV Corrections Officer Waters, in the course of his job duties, participated in my being FourPointed in LegIrons and HandCuffs as PunishMent for Exhibiting Symptoms of Medical DisAbilities for which the BOP was denying me competent medical treatment. CO Waters, out of the view of his superiors and fellow employees, put a pair of socks on me, to help keep me warm, as an act of basic human kindness. FCI-TRV Counselor Brinkman chose not to interfere with or object to a host of violations of BOP policy in the course of my being subjected to illegal, abusive treatment during my incarceration at FCI-Three Rivers. Counselor Brinkman also took many opportunities to help me circumvent my inability to meet certain BOP conditions and requirements, enabling me to spend a reasonable portion of my incarceration in living conditions which were humane and non-abusive. Perhaps federal prosecutor Wales was Murdered by someone whom he or his colleagues subjected to many of the Criminal Abuses of Justice and Human Rights that take place daily in TheSystem which Mr. Wales chose to make his career. Perhaps Thomas Wales was Murdered by someone whom he had gone out of his way to aid in receiving Justice, for reasons which have little or nothing to do with the conduct of Mr. Wales, himself. Perhaps Mr. Wales' colleagues might take time to reflect on how their own disposition of their job duties increase or decrease the likelihood of those whom their activities affect feeling justified in exacting retribution for their treatment at the hands of TheSystem. Perhaps if the Seattle Times were to publish an article titled, "Fuck Thomas Wales, and Fuck His Whole Family," questioning whether his death might be the result of an Abusive Justice System's Chickens Coming Home To Roost, I might feel compelled to point out that Thomas Wales a good CitizenUnit and Neighbor, whose family and dog loved him, may well have performed his job duties in a way that increased, rather than decreased, the likelihood of other CitizenUnits receiving Justice in TheSystem in which he chose to make his career. OfCourseOfCourse [TM] there would be those who wouldn't want to hear this, and who would probably rather that I just ShutTheFuckUp! Perhaps if the MainStreamDream Media were to publish something more than just predictable, meaningless drivel in regard to the Reality of the Justice System leading to Tragedy for all concerned, in an EndLess CrapShoot of PeopleFuckingPeople, then there would be nothing left for me to say, and I would just ShutTheFuckUp!

Wolfowitz, Calling For "Great Caution," Limits DoD Employees' Discussions
by auto301094＠hushmail.com 23 Oct '01

23 Oct '01

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- The interesting thing about this is the new crackdown on non-classified information in the private sector under the umbrella provision "persons in other organizations that support DoD." Of course each contractor has the right to set what's acceptable and what isn't from their employees in terms of talking to the media etc., but the way the Wolfowitz policy is being implemented in certain quarters really takes it to a whole new level. To my mind, either information is classified or it isn't. Preventing leaks is one thing, but why private citizens who happen to do THINKINT on terrorism--for example--should be silenced and subjected to these harsh new provisions is less than obvious. ~F. http://ebird.dtic.mil/Oct2001/e20011023wolfowitz.htm Wolfowitz, Calling For "Great Caution," Limits DoD Employees' Discussions Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz has forbidden all Defense Department employees from talking about their work in common areas and public spaces, on unsecured telephones or networks, and while commuting to and from work. In an Oct. 18 memo, Wolfowitz says U.S. military and civilian lives, as well as DOD operations, facilities, resources and critical information, are "at risk for an indefinite period" following the terrorist attacks against New York City and Washington, DC. He cites the national emergency President Bush declared Sept. 14 and the military's contribution to "wide-ranging efforts to defeat international terrorism" as putting DOD's places and people at risk. The memo is addressed to the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, service secretaries, top leaders in the Office of the Secretary of Defense, directors of defense agencies and several other senior DOD officials. The guidance also applies to "persons in other organizations that support DOD." "We must ensure that we deny our adversaries the information essential for them to plan, prepare or conduct further terrorist or related hostile operations against the United States and this Department," the memo states. Wolfowitz directs employees not to discuss their work where they could be overheard by anyone outside the department, and he cautions against releasing much of the information DOD uses to conduct its business. Using italics for emphasis, the deputy secretary's memo says it is "vital that Defense Department employees, as well as persons in other organizations that support DOD, exercise great caution in discussing information related to DOD work, regardless of their duties. "Do not conduct any work-related conversations in common areas, public places, while commuting, or over unsecured electronic circuits. Classified information may be discussed only in authorized spaces and with persons having a specific need to know and the proper security clearance," states the memo. Wolfowitz says even unclassified defense information, which usually is subject to far fewer restrictions and oversight, may require protection "because it can often be compiled to reveal sensitive conclusions. Much of the information we use to conduct DOD's operations must be withheld from public release because of its sensitivity. If in doubt, do not release or discuss official information except with other DOD personnel." Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said today the release of any classified information about the military's actions in Afghanistan and against terrorists worldwide could threaten the lives of U.S. troops and the results of the military's actions abroad. He called the disclosure of operational information to the news media last week prior to U.S. special forces' arrival on the ground in Afghanistan "terrible" and "irresponsible" and said it is a violation of federal law. "We cannot and will not provide information that could jeopardize the success of our efforts to root out and liquidate the terrorist networks that threaten our people," Rumsfeld said at a Pentagon press briefing today. "To the extent that the Taliban and the al Qaeda know the goals and the purposes of our operations, they will be in a better position to frustrate those goals and those purposes. It is not in our country's interest to let them know when, how, or even why we're conducting certain operations." Wolfowitz directs in his memo all major DOD components to review the department's "operations security program" and to "ensure that their policies, procedures and personnel are in compliance" with it. - -- Christian Bohmfalk -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: Hush 2.0 wl8EARECAB8FAjvVtGcYHGF1dG8zMDEwOTRAaHVzaG1haWwuY29tAAoJEKadvsVlUK4P rosAn2GojE5ZDTPwgapNM+vlU40GW/oxAJ9pZ4AcHJZQNJBtII1gAp6M4PY7qA== =MAPR -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
