Kurt Nimmo<\/strong> If we can believe the latest poll issued by the Pew Research Center<\/a>, most Americans believe the Fourth Amendment and the Bill of Rights should not get in the way of government surveillance and tracking down terrorists.<\/p>\n Sen. Rand Paul doubts most Americans believe the NSA should be allowed to engage in unrestrained surveillance.<\/small><\/p>\n The survey demonstrates the effectiveness of the government\u2019s unrelenting propaganda war following the attacks of September 11, 2001.<\/p>\n \u201cA majority of Americans \u2014 56% \u2014 say the National Security Agency\u2019s (NSA) program tracking the telephone records of millions of Americans is an acceptable way for the government to investigate terrorism, though a substantial minority \u2014 41% \u2014 say it is unacceptable,\u201d Pew reported on June 10. \u201cAnd while the public is more evenly divided over the government\u2019s monitoring of email and other online activities to prevent possible terrorism, these views are largely unchanged since 2002, shortly after the 9\/11 terrorist attacks.\u201d<\/p>\n As we have previously noted<\/a>, Americans are more likely to die in bed from accidental suffocation than fall victim to a terrorist attack. They are 1,048 times more likely to die from a car accident than from a terrorist attack and 17,600 times more likely to die from heart disease, according to statistics.<\/p>\n Even the global elite admit the war on terror is a farce.<\/p>\n \u201cAccording to the Council on Foreign Relations, 33<\/a> U.S. citizens were killed worldwide in 2008 from terrorism,\u201d writes Washington\u2019s Blog<\/a>. \u201cThere were 301,579,895 Americans living on U.S. soil in 2008, so the risk of dying from terrorist attacks in 2008 was 1 in 9,138,785<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n Despite the astronomical odds of not being victimized by a terrorist attack, millions of Americans have reached the conclusion it represents a dire threat, so they are willing to forfeit the protection afforded to them by the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.<\/p>\n In addition to an effective, decade-plus propaganda campaign relentlessly terrorizing citizens on the nearly nonexistent threat of terrorism, Americans have suffered through public mis-education over the past fifty years, a concerted effort that has dumbed them down to the point where they no longer recognize or understand the Constitution, natural rights, the threat of unaccountable government and its historical propensity to abuse them.<\/p>\n \u201cEvery American should realize what 9\/11 enabled federal officials to accomplish \u2013 it gave them the ability to do things to both Americans and foreigners that our ancestors feared they would in the absence of a Constitution and a Bill of Rights, the ability to take people into custody and punish them, without having to concern themselves with procedural due process,\u201d writes Jacob G. Hornberger<\/a>. \u201cBy wielding the option to treat people accused of terrorism as either criminal defendants or as combatants \u2013 an option which, by the way, violates the principles of equal treatment under law and the rule of law \u2013 the federal government and its military have upended their relationship with the citizenry, enabling the former to gain supremacy and control over the latter.\u201d<\/p>\n Like hapless millions of Germans living under the authoritarian rule of Hitler and the Nazis, the average American, brainwashed by corporate television and the public education system, will ultimately pay the price for his lackadaisical ignorance and irrationality.<\/p>\n NSA surveillance is merely a symptom of a larger and far more menacing situation \u2014 the parasitical presence of a bloated and militarized federal government that considers millions of Americans as the enemy.<\/p>\n In Nazi Germany and Stalin\u2019s Soviet Union, the Gestapo and the State Political Directorate, or GPU (formerly Cheka), were allowed a free hand to hunt down, arrest, disappear, torture, throw in concentration camps and gulags, and ultimately mass murder millions upon millions of citizens considered \u201ccounter-revolutionaries\u201d or enemies of the state.<\/p>\n Acquiescence and indifference to the latest revelations demonstrate that America is now ready to openly accept fascist rule, as did millions of Germans after Hitler took over the German government in 1933.<\/p>\n Millions of Americans, likely a substantial majority, are so politically naive and ignorant of history they are incapable of realizing what is about to happen to them.<\/p>\n <!– <\/p>\n –><\/p>\n This article was posted: Tuesday, June 11, 2013 at 2:24 pm<\/p>\n Tags: big brother<\/a>, constitution<\/a>, domestic news<\/a>, domestic spying<\/a>, police state<\/a><\/p>\n
