RECENT EVENTS

While the nation was directed to the Dubai Ports World deal and it's
ramifications, Congress managed to pass the Patriot Act provisions
questioned as intrusions into the private lives of Americans, making them
permanent Law.

As of this signing, Americans have massively limited rights due to
supposed security concerns, while the government has massively extended
authority in this nation.

Regretfully, these "Patriot Laws" will likely NOT be challenged for a
number of years.

During this time, Americans WILL become accustomed to these restricted
rights, and forget what they lost, supposedly for "national security", while
PROTECTING the peoples' rights. What rights would those be? Travel has been
restricted, communications restricted, property rights removed, free speech
muzzled, ...

We already have armed guards at our airports, bus terminals, subways, and
other transportation areas. We also have scanning, screening, and bodily
searches. Newer versions, supposedly less intrusive, are being developed, to
replace the "physical searches". All this sounds "reasonable" in this
supposed "terrorist environment". Yet we may have failed to realize the
prison which has essentially been created.

Moreover, if one has been keeping track, in the background, the
governments have been modifying or destroying government materials which are
claimed as "potential security risks". The actual effect, is that these are
the modified/false documents historians will use as the supposed ACTUAL
documents of this nation. Though we may "think" we know what the government
is doing presently, future investigations and history will use these
documents as the supposed "evidence". Adding in the "missing/destroyed"
documents, and no one will ever be able to factually review American
history.

Based upon this, it is not a stretch of imagination or a "conspiracy
theory", that Americans will never know the actual truth of this time
period. There have been nations which have done this before, but never this
completely. Most of those that did were overthrown and the actual history
taken from other nations historical documents. That will NOT be available to
America or it's history.
