Barack Obama and John McCain both support S.1959 Thought Crimes Bill

Bad legislation warning -- the "Violent Radicalization and Homegrown
Terrorism Prevention Act"

This bill, known as HR 1955 in the House, and S 1959 in the Senate, has
passed in the House by a 404-6 vote, and is currently in the Senate, and
enjoys strong support from both Senators Barack Obama and John McCain.

Ostensibly purposed to establish a permanent commission to study the
forces that create domestic terrorism, the bill itself uses broad
definitions which construe most traditional non-violent political
activism as "force" and thus "Homegrown Terrorism."

This bill is a major step in the incrementalist approach towards a state
of permanent martial law in the United States.

Where PATRIOT Acts 1&2, FISA amendment, and several other acts have
granted broad, sweeping new powers over those who are determined to be
"terrorists" the new "Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism
Prevention Act" extends those powers over US Citizens and greatly
expands the definition of a "Terrorist" to include any political
activist who, disagreeing with current Federal policy, intends to use
forceful traditional means such as letter-writing campaigns,
demonstrations, sit-ins, coordinated telephone campaigns, and etc to
cause an effect on the policies of Washington DC through non-violent
coercion.

Please contact your Senators immediately and ask them to reject S.1959
"The Prevention of Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Act"

Odette Wilkens, the executive director of the Equal Justice Alliance, a
constitutional watchdog group, compared the legislation to the McCarthy
Commission and to the FBI's Counter Intelligence Program (COINTELPRO),
which infiltrated, undermined and spied on civil rights and antiwar
groups during the 1950s and 60s.

This is a "Thought Crime" bill of the type so often discussed in an
Orwellian context.

It specifically targets the civilian population of the United States.

It defines "Violent Radicalization" as promoting any belief system that
the government considers to be extremist.

"Homegrown Terrorism" and "Violent Radicalization" are defined as
thought crimes.

Since the bill does not provide a specific definition of extremist
belief system, it will be whatever the government at any given time
deems it to be.

A few extracts of the Bill are presented below to show you its tone or
"flavor."

"(2) VIOLENT RADICALIZATION- The term `violent radicalization' means the
process of adopting or promoting an extremist belief system... to advance
political, religious, or social change."

SECTION 899B. FINDINGS.

"(3) The Internet has aided in facilitating violent radicalization,
ideologically based violence, and the homegrown terrorism process in the
United States by providing access to broad and constant streams of
terrorist-related propaganda to United States citizens."

"(6) The potential rise of self radicalized, unaffiliated terrorists
domestically cannot be easily prevented through traditional Federal
intelligence or law enforcement efforts, and requires the incorporation
of State and local solutions."


Section 899D of the bill establishes a Center for the Study of Violent
Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism in the United States. This will
be an institution affiliated with the Department of Homeland Security.
It will study and determine how to detain thought criminals.
