Creating American terrorists

Antiwar.com
by Philip Giraldi

01/19/12

Defenders of the recently passed National Defense Authorization Act, which declares the entire world to be a 'battlefield' against terrorism and authorizes the U.S. military to detain indefinitely anyone suspected of being a terrorism supporter, have claimed that the White House will only use its new power carefully and with due process. Opponents note that the White House has never hesitated to use any new authority, no matter how outrageous, and that the trend of law enforcement and security agencies is to expand on powers granted, not to rein them in or limit them...

LA Police Department Conducts Joint Exercises with the Military

Dan Bacher, AlterNet: ''The LA Police Department ... and the U.S. military conducted joint 'tactical exercises' in downtown LA this week. One Black Hawk ... and four OH-6 choppers ... flew over the city during the exercise.... Joint military exercises have also been conducted over Boston, Massachusetts and Little Rock, Arkansas over the past six months.... The exercises become even more ominous when you consider that ...

Wir wenden uns gegen die Umrüstung der Bundeswehr zu einer schlagkräftigen, weltweit einsetzbaren Interventionsarmee, die mit Landesverteidigung nicht das Geringste zu tun hat.

''Damit keine Missverständnisse entstehen vorweg das Bekenntnis: Dass die Friedensnobelpreisträgerin Tawakkul Karman aus dem Jemen die Menschenrechtsverletzungen und die Toten in Syrien beklagt, ist verständlich und richtig. Dass sie dies auf der Sicherheitskonferenz in München tut, ist unverständlich. Denn damit verbessert sie das Image eines
(regelmäßigen) Treffens von Leuten, die mehrheitlich die militärische Aktion und auch den Krieg als Fortsetzung der Politik und als Mittel zur Durchsetzung wirtschaftlicher Interessen betrachten. Mehr Sensibilität dürfte man erwarten, zumal die Lage in Syrien und im Nahen Osten insgesamt komplizierter ist, als es der in München dominierende Westen glauben macht?''

The fundamental interconnectedness between war and civil liberties abuses on the one hand, and the targeting of minorities as part of those policies on the other, is, of course, nothing new. It was most eloquently emphasized in the largely forgotten, deliberately whitewashed 1967 speech about the Vietnam War by Martin Luther King, Jr. (who himself was targeted for years with abusive domestic surveillance by the FBI s J.
