9/11 in 2008: Terrorism, Security, and the Police State

On September 11, 2008, Freedom Party leader Paul McKeever was a panelist on "On the Line" with Christine Williams (Crossroads Television: CTS).

In this segment, the panel considers whether we have become overly fearful, and whether government is violating freedom in its efforts to defend against terrorists.

At about the 15 minute point, McKeever discusses the failure of government to defend, at home, against mystical or otherwise irrational considerations in the course of governmental decision-making.

Bad foreign policy coupled with multiculturalism.

It's funny how the government officials always claim that this is a new situation we are dealing with, necessitating the changes they wish to impose on free people.

Oh we are...(Canada)... We'd follow the US to the end of the earth... Mainly because their governed by the same entity.. Difference is that Americans understand the concept of sovereignty and Canadians dont.. They just go with the flow.. America actually had rights at one time.. Canada never did. Point is that anything that happens to the Western World was well brought on by themselves

Wait a minute everybody!

Since World War II, & even before, United States been actively involved with Imperial Expansion. Sending CIA Economic Assassins, CIA Jackals, & Military to all corners of the world to bring other nations into submission. So it stands to reason that the US will always be subject to Terrorist attacks. [An unfortunate TRUTH we Americans must live with]

But is Canada actively involved in Imperial Aggression too? And if "No", then what's the bases for your Terrorist Fears?

Could someone please tell me what the host was saying about terrorist threats to Canada? She mentioned some Family. I didn't understand her. I heard, "the Catern Family" or something like it. I'd like to know more.

It does send a strong message - that, as usual, governments are willing to take advantage of the irrational fears of people so they might seize power.

[freezzertime]

so what is the alternative? It was mentioned that having strict act such as the patriot act can give a strong message to the people and to te terrorists most importantly....is it really? I am still dabating this...what is your view on the U.S policy after 9/11?
