From: Cactuspat <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Welcome to the United States of Smirkistan "Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the citizenry into a patriotic fervor, for patriotism is indeed a double-edged sword. It both emboldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind. And when the drums of war have reached a fever pitch and the blood boils with hate and the mind has closed, the leader will have no need in seizing the rights of the citizenry. Rather, the citizenry, infused with fear and blinded by patriotism, will offer up all of their rights unto the leader and gladly so. How do I know? For this is what I have done. And I am Caesar."- Julius Caesar My fellow Smirkistanis. Yes, that's right. Make no mistake about it. My fellow Smirkistanis, by virtue of the resounding successes of the CIA orchestrated attacks of 911 and the corporate media/military Psyops propaganda war upon the hearts and minds of the citizens of the U.S., my personal popularity is now higher than that of any "elected" American president in history. I'm now more popular than Allah or even Jaysus H. Christ himself. Accordingly, I, Smirkala W. Bushghazi, do now hereby declare, through Imperious Executive Order(IEO) #911, that from this day forward the name of our formerly great nation be changed to the United States of Smirkistan. Attorney General Mullah Mohammed Asscrack says I can. I fully intend to continue and expand the Global War of Aggression and Corporate Colonization(GWACC). Any country(s) that does not fully support my efforts to ensure transglobal corporate security and colonization will be considered to be a member of the Axis of Evil and should prepare their citizens to be indiscriminately bombed back into the stone age. Thanks to the Tyranny Acts of 2001, my Bushghazi Junta has been handed more power to use against its citizens than any previous, legal administration. The Tyranny Acts will be fully implemented to assure Transglobal Corporate Security here at home and abroad. Henceforth, any and all residents of the United States of Smirkistan are now to be suspected evil doers of terrorist activities. I warn all, citizen and non-citizen alike, of the following changes to Smirkistani Corporate Law. All electronic communication can and will be intercepted and analyzed without search warrants. Phone calls, voice mail, cell phones, faxes, beeper messages, emails, CB and short wave radio, walkie talkies, and surfing the internet. All information obtained during criminal investigations is to be shared and distributed to the FBI, NSA, CIA, INS, Secret Service, and military without any judicial review, with no limits to how these agencies can use the information once it is obtained. This includes, but is not limited to, confidential grand jury testimony, tax records, banking and investment records, business records, credit reports, health records, employment records, travel history, education records, library records, and video rentals. "Sneak and Peek Searches" are authorized for secret searches for any criminal investigation, allowing the government to enter your home or office and conduct a search, take photographs, and download your computer files without notifying you. Law enforcement can shop for warrants in any court in any jurisdiction where it is conducting an investigation for a search anywhere in the country. Judges are forbidden to deny these requests or even inquire as to why they are being requested. This makes it near impossible for individuals subjected to searches to challenge the warrant. A new type of crime, Domestic Terrorism has been created, which is necessary for prosecuting of the "War of Global Aggression and Corporate Colonization(GWACC). By expanding the definition of terrorism, the Tyranny Acts of 2001 will allow the government to levy heavy penalties for minor offenses, including political protests, affiliations, and dissent. The CIA is now allowed to spy on all Smirkistanis. The Director of Central Intelligence now has the power to gather intelligence inside Smirkistan and demand the disclosure of information obtained by the FBI to the CIA- even if it is about law-abiding Smirkistani citizens. Wiretap authority is expanded to include minimum judicial supervision of law enforcement wiretaps, including the equivalent of "blank check" warrants, intelligence wiretaps that need not specify the phone to be tapped or require that only the target's conversations be eavesdropped upon, and allowing the FBI to use its "intelligence"(FISA) authority to circumvent judicial review of the probable cause requirement of the Fourth Amendment. A de facto suspension of habeas corpus now permits authorities to indefinitely detain any suspected evildoer without legal counsel, and without meaningful judicial review. Non-citizen and citizen alike can expect communications with their attorneys to be monitored, if legal counsel can be obtained. Attorney General Mullah Mohammed Asscrack has requested and been granted the authority to reinstate COINTELPRO, the FBI's counterintelligence program. Any religious, civic, or social groups that do not fully support the Smirkistani Corporate Rule of Law and GWACC can and will be infiltrated and subverted. Their members will be discredited as evil doers and be jailed or executed accordingly. With so many potential evil doing terrorists inhabiting Washington D.C., I've decided to relocate Executive Ranch operations to my recently renamed abode, the Prairie Chapel, located in Allah's Country deep in the Heart of Texas, where security risks are much lower. In closing, I will now lead you in reciting the new Smirkistani Pledge of Allegiance. " I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of Smirkistan, and to the demagoguery for which it stands. One nation, under Smirkala, divisible, with tyranny and injustice for all" Yours Truly, Imperiously Supreme and Yammering Selected One(I SAY SO), Smirkala W.
