On October 26, 2001, President Bush signed the USA PATRIOT Act (PATRIOT) into law. PATRIOT gave sweeping new powers to both domestic law enforcement and international intelligence agencies and eliminated the checks and balances that previously gave courts the opportunity to ensure that such powers were not abused. Most of these checks and balances were put into place after previous misuse of surveillance powers by these agencies were uncovered including the revelation in 1974 that the FBI and foreign intelligence agencies had spied on over 10,000 U.S. citizens, including Martin Luther King.

  • How many people have been arrested in that particular scenario anyway? is there any way to get names and numbers? 

  • what's the song? i luff it

    also thanks for posting

  • both of the Napolitano's are communits

  • I will tell you all some things. As a veteran, I will never, ever, never pick up arms in defence of this Government. Only for my rights. The Government frowns and craps on the Constitution and I do the same to them. The Government terirozes people with its laws.I want to see them get on their hands and knees.

  • Nope. A police state depends on whether or not the american people have the stomach to kill everything that is unconstitutional. If they don't, they deserve to be chained up and made into slaves. If citizens let that sort of thing happen, fuckem.

  • Americans get out while you still have time!!

  • if you think that is wrong try being a victim of domestic terrorism mind control. Practically every right has been taken from me in my own home.

  • ill b glad to shoot you :D

  • Oh its going to happen, I just don't care, as a matter of fact I'll be one of them patrolling the streets. I work for the gov. lol

  • how about fascism? ill quote stardust up there "we r so fucked". it takes 2 signatures to declare martial law in the united states. one of those is the president, the other is the atorney general. And at that point you will LITERALLY have a police state. if were not there yet were close.
