Very good info. ACLU breakdown and chart of all of the current "Anti-Terrorism" bills in Congress. Incredibly useful information to get a feel for what is going on, at a glance, in Congress.

Perhaps the most useful thing any of us can do is to write our Senators and Representatives and ask them to SLOW DOWN. As the ACLU states, none of the provisions in these bills apply to the current investigation so haste is unnecessary.

Civil Liberties first, folks!

October 10, 2001: Wiretapping Provisions of Anti-Terrorism Legislation

"Letter From an Afghani American "

Good reading...

Letter From an Afghani American

Take Action. Find others with similar Progressive backgrounds to yourself. Band together and do what you can to stop the War!

Here is a directory of local SF Bay Area events.

More of the "good" stuff. A bill that will basically allow the government a free hand against non-profit they decide is subversive. This will wind up being terribly abused before it's all over.

Non-Profits can have their assets siezed without proof!

It begins. God knows what kinds of things are going to be attacked in the name of "Terrorism."

Interesting article by a retired Colonel explaining the Army's use of modern marketing tactics.

Modern War - Ya gotta love it.

Good article. Interesting historical references and tie-ins to art vis a vis movies and literature.

My life at the moment. The Swarm being almost every other American I bump into. WARNING: Do not discuss Sept. 11th or surrounding events with other people unless you are prepared to be attacked for having differing views. Fun, fun, fun.

The "David Horowitz" links demonstrate this current mood. Of course, this doesn't seem to vary much from Mr. Horowitz normal, but now many otherwise not so excitable Americans are acting very similarly. Mr. Horowitz in detail:

Here you go:

"In fact Chomsky's influence is best understood not as that of an intellectual figure, but as the leader of a secular religious cult -- as the ayatollah of anti-American hate. " -- Mr. Horowitz

A second article by Mr. Horowitz. Interesting. Two vicious attacks within the first 3-4 weeks after the WTC bombing. Now put this in the context of:

Herman Goering, at the Nuremburg Trials: "Why, of course people don't want war. Why should some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece? Naturally the common people don't want war: neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But after all, it is the leaders of a country who determine the policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voiceor no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country."

You may not like Chomsky, but I wouldn't take Mr. Horowitz's opinion without reading some Chomsky yourself. . .
