Title: OT:FW: [globalnews] Bush's Attack on Civil Rights: We Must NOT Be Good Germans

Where did I hear of these state/police powers
before? Oh yes, living here in South Africa in the 1980s, the height of
apartheid paranoia ... Some things never change, it seems, they just move
somewhere else.

URGENT: Overview of Changes to Legal Rights (in the United §tates)
Date:

Alright, all you folks out there who think this concern
about our losing
our rights is just the whining of extremists. It is hard
to believe that
there are any such folks given what we see happening every
day but sad to
say there are.
So here is an article on this very
subject from the ASSOCIATED PRESS! It is
not from some obscure independent
source. It is from the mainstream media!
There is no room to doubt that
we have lost essential rights. The
Constitution is being openly violated.
Our Bill of Rights has been
decimated.
We are in the exact same
position as the "good Germans" were during the
30's. It was clear that
Hitler was destroying their rights but they did
nothing. Had they resisted
earlier, they could have stopped Hitler's coup.
The good Germans far
outnumbered the NAZIS just as the good Americans far
out number these sick
folks who are trying to take over our country!
Ahh, you are against
terrorism and support the government in its war
against terrorists? Great.
But you must know that YOU can be considered a
terrorist and if you are you
don't have a prayer of getting out of it. They
will just pack you away
without anyone knowing what happened to you and
that will be it. Cmon. This
is not a war against anyone but us. It is all
about getting control over
the American people. It should be clear as a
bell to everyone at this
point.
If we wait much longer it will be too late to resist. So what do
you think?
Change the channel to another game or get up and do
something?
Your choice. And your children and grand children's lives
will be immensely
affected one way or the other.

Stacey
It will help if you send this message on to as many people as
you can.
Americans have to wake up before it is too
late.

Overview
of Changes to Legal Rights
By The Associated Press
September 5,
2002
Some of the fundamental changes to Americans' legal rights by the
Bush
administration and the USA Patriot Act following the terror
attacks:
* FREEDOM OF ASSOCIATION: Government may monitor religious and
political
institutions without suspecting criminal activity to assist
terror
investigation.
* FREEDOM OF INFORMATION: Government has
closed once-public immigration
hearings, has secretly detained hundreds of
people without charges, and has
encouraged bureaucrats to resist public
records requests.
* FREEDOM OF SPEECH: Government may prosecute
librarians or keepers of any
other records if they tell anyone that the
government subpoenaed
information related to a terror
investigation.
* RIGHT TO LEGAL REPRESENTATION: Government may monitor
federal prison
jailhouse conversations between attorneys and clients, and
deny lawyers to
Americans accused of crimes.
* FREEDOM FROM
UNREASONABLE SEARCHES: Government may search and seize
Americans' papers
and effects without probable cause to assist terror
investigation.
*
RIGHT TO A SPEEDY AND PUBLIC TRIAL: Government may jail
Americans
indefinitely without a trial.
* RIGHT TO LIBERTY:
Americans may be jailed without being charged or being
able to confront
witnesses against them.
