A New Kinda Cool

Two new directives signed by President Bush establish sweeping authority for federal executive departments and agencies to establish a coordinated "framework" to collect and retain biometric data on U.S. citizens identified as "known and suspected terrorists," without requiring public or congressional disclosure of the procedures.
That includes all you "Homegrown Terrorists" out there.

Hey, when did this start authorizing self-delegation of powers by the executive? Isn't that a bit like this?


Good thing this was done by our friend the "Vote Freedom First President." I'd shudder to think what Thulsa/The Lightworker could do with such self-appointed powers.

What was that statement that so horrified all us non-democrats when made by Paul Begala during the Clinton administration? Oh, yeah:
Stroke of the pen. Law of the land. Kinda cool.

Sometimes I HATE IT when we're right. We saw this coming, wrote our Congressthings, etc., etc., ad nauseam.
Biometrics and the RealID driver's license/national ID card: a marriage made in hell. States that don't comply will find their citizens unable to board planes, enter federal buildings, and who knows what else.
For conspiracy theorists, the recent Bilderberg meeting urged this type of data on the subcutaneous biochip for "blonde, blue-eyed terrorists" the Islamists are supposedly recruiting. Believe or don't. prisonplanet covered it. They get a lot of things right.
Anyway, a gun + a copy of the Constitution = "homegrown terrorist." You reading on this site, do you think they DON't mean YOU?

I will never comply. I will forego my, so far voluntary, participation in licensed driving, etc.

What I will do is carry with me the means to dissuade them or extract higher price than they foresaw.

Not a pragmatic bone in my body when it comes to being my own man. And owned only by me.

defender,
Sadly the gun is optional.
