CHANGE Ohio Presidents' Day Unlawful Torture/Trial Protest

How Would a Patriot Act?

A Homeland Security apparatus has been constructed around the American people, infringing upon our Constitutional rights and endangering the very liberty that this nation was founded upon. The Patriot Act is but one example of a dangerous trend away from the Bill of Rights and towards a technocratic state, controlled not by the people, but by a distant Federal force.

"Within six months of passing the PATRIOT Act, the Justice Department was conducting seminars on how to stretch the new wiretapping provisions to extend them beyond terror cases," said Dan Dodson, a spokesman for the National Association of Criminal Defense Attorneys. "They say they want the PATRIOT Act to fight terrorism. Then, within six months, they are teaching their people how to use it on ordinary citizens."

Controversial invocations of the USA PATRIOT Act

On March 9, 2007, a Justice Department audit found that the FBI had "improperly and, in some cases, illegally used the USA Patriot Act to secretly obtain personal information" about United States citizens.

In September 2003, the New York Times reported on a case of the USA PATRIOT Act being used to investigate alleged potential drug traffickers without probable cause. The article also mentions a study by Congress that referenced hundreds of cases where the USA PATRIOT Act was used to investigate non-terrorist alleged future crimes.

In November 2005, Business Week reported that the FBI had issued tens of thousands of "National Security Letters" and had obtained one million financial records from the customers of targeted Las Vegas businesses. Selected businesses included casinos, storage warehouses and car rental agencies. An anonymous Justice official claimed that such requests were permitted under section 505 of the USA PATRIOT Act.

The Federal government has gone beyond the Patriot Act with a wave of repressive measures.

Military Commissions Act

The MCA eliminates the constitutional due process right of habeas corpus for detainees at Guantánamo Bay and elsewhere. It allows our government to continue to hold hundreds of prisoners for more than five years without charges.

It also gives any president the power to declare — on his or her own — who is an enemy combatant, decide who should be held indefinitely without being charged with a crime and define what is — and what is not — torture and abuse.

Presidential Decision Directive 51

New legislation signed on May 9, 2007, declares that in the event of a "catastrophic event", the President can take total control over the government and the country, bypassing all other levels of government at the state, federal, local, territorial and tribal levels, and thus ensuring total unprecedented dictatorial power.

The stated reasoning behind these acts is to protect the nation from terrorists, such as Osama bin Laden.

Bin Laden is wanted in connection with the August 7, 1998, bombings of the United States embassies in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania and Nairobi, Kenya.

Note that Bin Laden is not wanted for the 9/11 attacks. In fact, the event is not even mentioned on his most wanted page. Upon learning this, journalist Ed Haas contacted Rex Tomb, Chief of Investigative Publicity for the FBI. When asked why there is no mention of 9/11 on Bin Laden's Most Wanted web page, Tomb said, "The reason why 9/11 is not mentioned on Usama Bin Laden's Most Wanted page is because the FBI has no hard evidence connecting Bin Laden to 9/11."

They don't torture enough. Since when do NON citizens have rights? Honestly, I didn't know they did. Someone teach me. I don't want to stay ignorant.

[ChangeOhio]

All human beings have god-given rights that we were born with. That is why we should not accept slavery, torture or any other form of inhumane treatment to our fellow man.

If you think that we don't torture enough, then that is unfortunate. According to Robert Baer, former CIA agent, torture provides unreliable information, because a person under torture will say anything to make it stop. It also puts our own troops in greater danger, because it makes the whole world a more barbaric place.

Yeah, people are so dumb to NOT realize what kinds of things such terrorists have done to land themselves in prisons that they are in. If they planned on blowing up my city, I would want answers, I don't care how they got it. I rather have them try to receive answers then not do anything. If someone is so ruthless to commit or plan such acts, they don't even deserve your so called, "god-given rights." Sorry that's my personal opinion and like you also said, "that is unfortunate."

[ChangeOhio]

If you have any evidence that these "terrorists" are guilty, then you should send that information to the Justice Department. Otherwise, the people currently being held in prison deserve to be considered innocent until proven guilty.

great job loved the video didnt like the audio tat much, keep the ordinal audio in i want to hear what the cops where saying,

[ChangeOhio]

There you go thinking about little kids again. You really need some help your a sick person. your wife knows who I am and she knows where I am from. You can be in denial all you want but it don't change the fact that while your stalking kids. Your wife is with a real man.

[ColectvIndvidulism1]

Let's start by establishing an office solely devoted to protecting the U.S.Constitution. Germany did that after thier sobering experience with fascism. Let's also consider limiting the development and or use of technologies antithetical to the constitution, things like the audio spotlight, HAARP, and subverbal communication research should be stopped in a reasonable and peaceful way. Then we pass laws ending human experimentation on EVERY level in the U.S.A. This is just an idea, just an opinion

[realzoomy]

They are using cruel psychological torture on women and children every day in the UK secret family courts.

The same sham proceedings, the same kangaroo courts.

Exactly the same.

The only difference is that instead of the death penalty, they steal our children.

They may as well kill us when they destroy our families.

I am glad it happened to me though. If I had not experienced the cruelty first hand I would never have believed that 9/11 was an inside job.

[paulyy17]

You just proved my point, they NEED evidence so just keep torturing them. If you don't have the evidence find a way to get it. That's what I think. You can change what I think is right or wrong. You and no one else had control of my morals.

[aaronlovespot]

you can't wake people up unless they want to .

[paco757]

keep waking them up
