Since the incident at the US Capitol Building on January 6th, calls for new domestic terror laws are growing. President Biden and plenty of other US politicians have made it clear that they view the demonstrators who entered the Capitol as “domestic terrorists.”
In Congress, there is bipartisan support to increase penalties for domestic terror convictions that put them on the same level as laws targeting international groups, like ISIS and al-Qaeda.
On Thursday, a bipartisan majority of the House Homeland Security Committee endorsed the idea of domestic terror laws. US lawmakers heard from so-called experts who claimed there was a “high likelihood” that another “domestic terrorist attack” would occur soon.
Rep. Michael McCaul (R-TX) joined a bipartisan group of lawmakers calling for new domestic terror laws. “I think it sends a strong message about where Congress is, that we’re going to treat domestic terrorism on an equal plane as international terrorism,” he said.
Domestic terror legislation has been introduced in Congress that would establish domestic terror offices within the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Justice, and the FBI. But with talks of increasing penalties for domestic terror convictions in Congress, more legislation could be introduced that would have grave implications for free speech and the First Amendment.
President Biden has previously bragged that the Patriot Act was based on a domestic terror bill he authored after the 1995 Oklahoma City Bombing. “I drafted a terrorism bill after the Oklahoma City bombing. And the bill John Ashcroft sent up was my bill,” Biden said in 2001, referring to then-Attorney General John Ashcroft. A bill that is similar to the Patriot Act that targets domestic terror groups could be in the works.
Of course. Every crisis is an opportunity. They know very well that at present loud majority of “liberal” fanatics would support them, most people will be confused enough to let this slide, and those that will stick their necks out, are already branded as Trumpian racists. What a golden opportunity.
At present MAJOR laws are being violated without opposition.
One, Nuremberg laws that became part of our legislation prohibit experimenting medications on human beings, without first tested on animals. Once broken, it will go on.
The “Empire” has came home. No longer will the nation a Constitutional Republic with the Bill of Rights. Shame on Rep. Michael McCaul (R-TX). You may not believe
PresidentChairman Joe Biden is illegitimate, but tens of millions know of the theft. The left/right divide will become a construct. The U.S. will become like any other Authoritarian regime (think of Egypt). Legitimate governments don’t need controlled media & tens of thousands of troops to isolate the ruled from the rulers.But the Political Elite think Egypt is a becon to be followed thats why Egypt is supported and financed by them , the fact is if the citizens of the US don`t wake up to whats going on very soon it will be to late .
An iron curtain has descended around Big Brother, …Ministry of Truth, Newspeak, …George Orwell reprised.
Sounds like the end of any remaining freedom for the US population.
According to RCP polls on approval of Congress, about two-thirds of the public disapprove of these corrupted clowns. Of course congress-critters hate the natural reaction to their non-performance. They’ve got virtual life tenure, it’s them against the citizens and they make the laws — welcome to “democracy.”
Give me Liberty LAST!
But first give me:
(1) Term Limits (2) Campaign Finance Reform. (3) Ban Foreign entities’ money & influence from lobbying our Politicians.
The basic problem is not the motivation of our “representatives” in Washington, it is the lack of democracy in the U.S. which has resulted in our utter dependence on these forever clowns.
Democracy is governance by the citizens, via representatives. Other countries have referendums on important issues but the U.S. does not allow them. Imagine a referendum on war: Yes or no, should the U.S. have combatant commands, troops and wars around the world? . .Washington would never allow such a citizen vote on war, or on health care, for two major examples. Actual governance by citizens would not be allowed by the corporations that control the Washington crowd. Israel wouldn’t care for it either.
Democracy: “a system of government by the whole population or all the eligible members of a state, typically through elected representatives.” It’s a nice concept, the U.S.ought to try it some time.
In other words, give you three things that absolutely, positively preclude liberty, and then you’ll consider the thing that you’ve made impossible.
I don’t know how those “THREE THINGS” preclude liberty!
Elaborate.
If you can’t figure it out yourself, I doubt any elaboration on my part will help.
It’s best to keep quiet instead of making comments you can’t explain or expand!
