This past week, sensitive documents from the Missouri Information Analysis Center were leaked to the public. The M.I.A.C. report designated “UNCLASSIFIED//LAW ENFORCEMENT SENSITIVE”, seeks to put supporters of Dr. Ron Paul, those tired of the endless banker bailouts, and just about anyone else who dare question the Federal government on par with Neo-Nazis and abortion clinic bombers.¹

It disturbs me greatly to bear witness as our Federal government continues to expand its program of correlating dissent with domestic terrorism. Fellow readers, this despicable tactic is precisely why many of our Founding Fathers sought to engross humanity’s inherent liberties into the Constitution via The Bill of Rights. Among these rights derived solely from nature, is the right to free speech; even speech deemed unpopular or critical of one’s government.

Truth be told, the tactic of linking those criticizing the central authority as outright enemies of the state, whether it be king or government is as old as humanity itself. This is how students of the enlightenment, ergo Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, et al knew the absolute necessity of prohibiting government regulation of speech. The Founding generation witnessed first hand “Royal Governors” and legislatures executing and imprisoning their fellow colonists for speaking out against the crown.² These unjust decrees backed by the weight of the sword, were necessary in the eyes of the loyalist governments. They feared dissent would gradually give rise to critical thinking, which in turn would demand answers and accountability, and thus dissent was seen as a direct threat to their ever corrupting grip on power.

Even members of the founding generation were tempted by the corrupting influence of power. Fearing a threat to his own power and pressured by the Hamiltonian faction, President Adams signed into law a series of legislation that went on to become known as “The Alien and Sedition Acts” . Thankfully, the passion for politics by Americans from all walks of life, denounced the acts so roundly, along with the repudiation of the Virginia and Kentucky resolutions, that it helped propel Thomas Jefferson into the Presidency over incumbent John Adams. President Jefferson immediately pardoned all those found guilty of the Acts which he let expire upon his election.³

At the time it was an uniquely American philosophy that power must challenge power, or as James Madison wrote:

“Ambition must be made to counteract ambition… It may be a reflection on human nature, that such devices should be necessary to control the abuses of government”

James Madison
Federalist No. 51
February 8th, 1788

Consequently, the eradication of this ideal is repeatedly articulated by the Federal government in its most recent attempt to cast dissent as the enemy to its brand of Neo Patriotism. For this purpose sheds sunshine as to why the central authority and its agents seek to establish an interrelationship by equating the Founding Fathers to terrorists. Regrettably, the video to the right establishes that the central authority has waged their war of reeducation at least since July of 2001 prior to the intial hyper call to nationalism/Neo patriotism following the September 11th attacks.

However, this is just another example of an ever increasing amount of pejorative rhetoric towards the central authority’s own compact, the U.S. Constitution. The M.I.A.C. report desires to reinforce the correlation made both in the F.E.M.A training video above and the Phoenix F.B.I. Joint Terrorism Task Force/Maricopa County Sheriff’s Department’s brochure⁴ of those who reference and defend the Constitution as terrorists. Moreover it attempts to handcuff supporters of Representative Ron Paul (R-TX) to the likes of Eric Rudolph, the 1996 Olympic park bomber. As a result, if those of us who merely supported Representative Ron Paul during the campaign are dangerous homegrown radicals according to M.I.A.C., then how does one think they view Dr. Paul, who publicly declared himself to be “The Champion of the Constitution”?⁵

During the course of the previous administration, both officials and their old-media shills demonized individuals who dared speak out against the Bush Doctrine as unPatriotic, unAmerican, and/or traitors. Now we are told by socialist scribes⁶ that dissenting against the “economic terrorism” id est the central bank manipulated credit crisis, is also unpatriotic. If we are no longer allowed to question or criticize the government’s domestic or foreign policies without being painted as homegrown radicals, is there any semblance left at all of our republic? Should I instead just pledge blind allegiance to President Obama and be content with my “right” to criticize a group of B-list celebrities or no talent wannabee singers on “Dancing with the Stars” or “American Idol” respectively?

Therefore, since our temporary browser cookie indicates that various members of the U.S. Senate are regular readers of “The Smoking Argus Daily”, I respectfully request an answer one way or the other as to whether or not my political philosophy and associations are terrorist in nature.

According to the M.I.A.C. report, you just might be a terrorist if…

	You display or use the “Gadsden Rattlesnake” Flag/Symbol.
	You have watched the “Anti-Federal Reserve System” – Zeitgeist Movie.
	You support a repeal of the 16th Amendment – the Income Tax.
	You supported the candidacy of Representative Ron Paul (R-TX).
	You are a member of The Committees of Safety.
	You oppose mandatory citizen service for those aged 18 to 24 per Rahm Emanuel’s proposal.
	You oppose the Security and Prosperity Partnership being out of the jurisdiction of Congressional oversight.
	You support the abolition of the FEDERAL RESERVE private central bank and favor a return to Constitutional money.
	You oppose any further restrictions on the inherent right to bear arms.
	You have watched Aaron Russo’s “America: Freedom to Fascism”
	You oppose any additional bailout bills for failing banks and/or private companies.

Dear members of the Senate:

Please think of the checklist above as my 21st century “petition for Redress of Grievances”. Tis a fact of candid reality that when a government seeks to cast all dissent as terrorism, we are most certainly flirting upon the precipice of tyranny.

Respectfully,

Allison Bricker

Have you ever really been a fan of something only to find out it is a wolf in sheep’s clothing, i.e. the classic bait and switch? My partner and I enjoyed watching the original Zeitgeist last year as it railed against the establishment, the Federal Reserve, and threw a critical eye to the origins of modern religion. We applauded what seemed to be a philosophy based in challenging the status quo.

This past Summer, while leaving a comment on a friend’s MySpace profile, I stumbled across the trailer for “Zeitgeist II: Addendum”.  The trailer indicated it would premiere on October 3rd, 2008 and as such I eagerly awaited its online release.  However, having researched further into the Zeitgeist website, its source material, and underlying philosophical motivations, this blogger is thoroughly convinced it is yet another finely crafted slick marketing piece advocating globalism.

The Zeitgeist homepage has a link beneath the Addendum place holder image, listed as
“-IMPORTANT REFERENCE SOURCES-”.  Clicking the link takes you to a page that states:

Note: We at Zeitgeistmovie.com promote the following “Zeitgeist: Addendum”
reference material because of our belief in the importance of the message. We
make absolutely no money off of sales.

Following their fervent non threatening statement of “belief in the message” the site then points viewers to “One of the Most Important Books you will ever read”, entitled “The Best that Money Can’t Buy” by, Jacque Fresco. Peter Joseph, director and producer of ZeitGeist I and II further reinforces his adamant support for the aforementioned book stating:

This book was a critical influence for Parts 3 and 4 of “ZeitGeist: Addendum”

Unfortunately, this book is nothing more than another half-ass attempt at “perfecting human society” through a “resource based economy”.  This same “goal” has been advocated relentlessly by the plutocratic oligarchs in their veiled attempt to market humanity oppression, disguised in benign gift wrapping.  This is the same ultimate goal as the failed “League of Nations” and its predecessor, “The United Nations” which also advocates, one world governed without borders for the benefit of humanity. (insert Kum-Ba-Yah chorus here).

Following the link to the “Venus Project”, one is taken to what looks like a Star Trek junkie’s bad acid trip, who is obviously stuck in some bizarre 1970′s science-fiction-midlife crisis.  Behind the gaudy rendering of future buildings, home, bridges etc, is the real bowl of crazy behind “The Venus Project”. Clicking on the Venus Project’s statement on a “Resource Based Economy”, one is greeted by the insidious goal of the group.  The 6th paragraph or setup, of the group’s statement, utterly contradicts subsequent paragraphs, stating:

We must emphasize that this approach to global governance has nothing whatever in common with the present aims of an elite to form a world government with themselves and large corporations at the helm, and the vast majority of the world’s population subservient to them. Our vision of globalization empowers each and every person on the planet to be the best they can be, not to live in abject subjugation to a corporate governing body.

However, just two paragraphs down, they state their philosophy’s mean to achieve its end:

At present, we have enough material resources to provide a very high standard of living for all of Earth’s inhabitants. Only when population exceeds the carrying capacity of the land do many problems such as greed, crime and violence emerge. By overcoming scarcity, most of the crimes and even the prisons of today’s society would no longer be necessary.

So since we as intellectual, intelligent, individuals, who do not live under rocks know; resources are already less than balanced for a population of 6.8 Billion and rising.

So how exactly does Mr. Jacque Fresco expect to “balance the carrying capacity of the land” and do away with prisons? Furthermore,  how is it any different than this Council on Foreign relations globalist asshole?

Or this statement from the United Nations 1994 International Conference on Population and Development:

With these changes, the focus of United Nations population conferences shifted from expertise to policy. In the minds of donor governments and population activists, the main purpose of population conferences became, arguably, the effort to make governments more aware of their population problems and to encourage and assist them in lowering the birthrate.

So while I am all for getting rid of the Federal Reserve and the debt based economy, challenging those in power, questioning the origins of modern religions, abolishing the Income Tax, etcetera. My philosophy does not align with yet another example of elite statism, disguised by Peter Joseph and his movie as revolutionary.  My great hope is that there will be a second age of reason, whereby humanity regains its inherent rights and liberty by throwing off the oppressive hands of tyranny, not merely replacing one group of elitist plutocrats with another.

Don’t Tread on Me!
