Futher Restrictions On Student Freedoms

Just came out of hibernation ............... God it's either sleep or wake up and face the music.... I'm tired sleeping.....

Just caught up on the latest US efforts to imitate Nazi Germany to the letter. The FBI are now encouraging university faculty, students and staff about the dangers of foreign spies, and terrorists at campuses throughout the USA. The dangers and clues to identifying those pesky terrorists include:

" Unexplained affluence

, failing to report overseas travel

, showing unusual interest in information outside the job scope

, keeping unusual work hours

, unreported contacts with foreign nationals

, unreported contact with foreign government, military, or intelligence officials

, attempting to gain new accesses without the need to know

, and unexplained absences..............

...................Are all considered potential espionage indicators. "

FBI to restrict student freedoms

" What we're most concerned about are those things that are not classified being developed by MIT [Massachusetts Institute of Technology], Worcester Polytech [Worcester Polytechnic Institute] and other universities," Warren Bamford, special agent in charge of the FBI's Boston office, told the Boston Herald. "It's to make sure these institutions receive training...[on] what spies look for. There are hundreds of projects going on that could be useful to a foreign power. "

" My understanding is that what the FBI is proposing is not illegal, but it does raise questions about the chilling effect in regard to academia,"Chris Ott, Communications Manager of the ACLU of Massachusetts told WSWS. "What will it mean about feeling free to pursue information? People on the campuses will be afraid to ask questions or take on the investigation of certain areas, say, for example, nuclear energy. "

Basically, every nation that allows it leader's to go down this route.... are heading for a whole world of pain and suffering. It happened to China, Russia, Germany, countless other nations.... and now it's happening today in the USA.

Compare if you will to the rise fascism in Nazi Germany:

The Gestapo was a part of the SS which also had the power to arrest anyone it wanted. It mainly spied on people, read their mail and tapped their telephones. It encouraged people to report on their neighbours and fellow workers. Children were even encouraged to spy on their parents. The Gestapo became the most feared organisation is Germany.

The Police, SS and the Gestapo made sure that the Nazi's remained in TOTAL CONTROL of Germany

Oh and yes... the US now has the power to legally wire tap phones, ISPs etc. This is now covered by CALEA.

FBI targets Net phoning

Internet telephone calls are fast becoming a national security threat that must be countered with new police wiretap rules, according to an FBI proposal presented quietly to regulators this month.

It's getting late so I'll close this one off now..... But the US is moving slowly, ever so slowly to the position of Nazi Germany..... You may say 'It won't happen... nah?!' - I think it's inevitable... nations don't go down this route unless the goverment is seriously mental.... and pathocratic. Bush/Hitler........ Man i'm scared..
