(Or be assumed to be the ENEMY )

We are at Orange -- NOW ! (and the War hasn't even started Yet) Only one
more step to go !

If the nation escalates to "red alert," which is the highest in the
color-coded readiness against terror, you will be assumed by authorities
to be the enemy if you so much as venture outside your home, the state's
anti-terror czar says.
"This state is on top of it," said Sid Caspersen, New Jersey's director
of the office of counter-terrorism.
Caspersen, a former FBI agent, was briefing reporters, alongside Gov.
James E. McGreevey, on Thursday, when for the first time he disclosed
the realities of how a red alert would shut the state down.
A red alert would also tear away virtually all personal freedoms to move
about and associate.
"Red means all noncritical functions cease," Caspersen said.
"Noncritical would be almost all businesses, except health-related."
A red alert means there is a severe risk of terrorist attack, according
to federal guidelines from the Department of Homeland Security.
"The state will restrict transportation and access to critical
locations," says the state's new brochure on dealing with terrorism.
"You must adhere to the restrictions announced by authorities and
prepare to evacuate, if instructed. Stay alert for emergency messages."
Caspersen went further than the brochure. "The government agencies would
run at a very low threshold," he said.
"The state police and the emergency management people would take control
over the highways.
"You literally are staying home, is what happens, unless you are
required to be out. No different than if you had a state of emergency
with a snowstorm."

There is already talk of making the Internet available on a pay per use basis. Also, to make licensing a domain name extremely expensive, something in the neighborhood of thousands of dollars per year. This would eliminate sites like Chemtrail Central, Noble Gas, Whatreallyhappened, William Cooper, and terkelowna. Only rich people, corporations, and the government could afford it. Maybe this would wake up the debunkers and Bushies?

Notice that article is from my state, New Jersey, the proving ground for Friendly Fascism and Police State.

>>pay per use basis<<

I pay $40 per month for unlimited Internet access...cabel modem, which is a pretty good deal IMO. Pay per use would be VERY expensive.

>>Only rich people, corporations, and the government could afford it.<<

Okay but then again, what about keeping tabs on us useless eaters? What about advertisers and cookies? How would they exploit our spending preferrences then? Isn't it about the money honey? And tracking terrorists??!!

Good point! However, these Crazed Puritans in power seemingly have no concern over electronics, sex toys, and health items, which are a MAJOR part of internet advertising. I don't really see that many car and oil company commercials on the Net. I think you could LOOK at the Internet, but would email be restricted? I don't know. You see Lu, the Bush crowd are not "normal" capitalists. The most dangerous despots and dictators in history have always believed there was a higher calling than just making money. A mission from God, as Dumbya said.

They would say, The Terrorists can't communicate with each other now, as another excuse to shut it down. CUt out the lines of communication. Of course, this is a worse case scenerio. But let me tell you, in 1968, my wife, myself, and friends were sitting a park, enjoying a doobie. We posed the question, "Could it get any worse with Nixon and Agnew?" After about 15 seconds of contemplation, we all said, "YES IT CAN."

To be sure, TV and radio would still work, since this is one way communication. From their mouths into our brains. Direct, Edited, Newspeak. I've always had a saying, "If we can think it up, somebody else in power is thinking the same thing". The hippies were eating LSD in the 60's, as was the CIA.

At the point of Marshall Law and Red Alert, they could care less about free speech and advertisement. We would be awful close, if not over, the Tipping Point.

I think it's restricted right now. Months later I find out that certain e-mails never reach their intended destinations. And what about the mail that I never find out about? Lots of e-mail glitches out there eh Swamp Gas?

>>The hippies were eating LSD in the 60's, as was the CIA.<< Ah yes, the good ol 60s.

This is exactly what I've been saying. Every activity, drug, and thought creates neurotransmitter changes. Even people who are "straight" consume hormones in meat, coffee, alcohol, and Fundamentalist Religion. These activate certain receptor sites. I feel that non-linear drugs and plants, such as cannabis, LSD, Ecstasy, Psilocybin, Mescaline, DMT, and STP, in moderation, can protect the brain from "Linear" imprints, neurotoxins, and pollutants, including to a degree, chemtrails. Linear drugs, such as, caffeine, Alcohol, cocaine, downers, heroin, and speed create and reinforce, shall we say, earthbound thought. They also are extremely addictive.

Seeker,
They don't call me swamp gas for nothing. Seriously, though, SPROUTING lentils and beans completely eliminates methane production, increases enzymes, and is a complete protein. I had a cockatiel who lived to 19 basically on a diet of sprouted lentils. That's about 30 years for a cat. 90 for a human.

The Marshall Law implication.......All I can tell you is......Time will tell. It's certainly heading that way and you know what....I hope I'm wrong..

I thought I'd add this as an after thought.

“The Pentagon has relied on tens of thousands of reservists to prosecute the war on terrorism, conduct new homeland security missions in the United States and, now, prepare for war with Iraq.... A surge of patriotism has kept morale, recruiting and retention high since the attacks on New York and Washington. But defense officials fear that the open-ended nature of the war on terrorism and a possible lengthy occupation of Iraq could deplete the ranks of the all-volunteer active-duty force and break the reserve system.”

If it became necessary to enforce martial law - UN troops might fill the void.

Do you seriously think that True Patriots will put up with this for that long? This country is more divided than I remember during Vietnam, and to quell the public, a few Red Alerts for practice. You can impose localized Marshall Law by calling Red Alerts in various cities.

Florida

“I hereby declare that a state of emergency exists in the state of Florida...The Authority to suspend the effect of any statute or rule governing the conduct of state business, and further authority to suspend the effect of any order or rule of any government entity...The authority to seize and utilize any and all real or personal property as needed to meet this emergency...The authority to order the evacuation of any or all persons from any location in the State...The authority to regulate the return of the evacuees to their home comunities...I hereby order the Adjutant General to activate the Florida National Guard for the duration of this emergency.” ~Florida Governor Jeb Bush, September 11, 2001
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Florida Governor Jeb Bush signed Executive Order 01-261 September 7, 2001, four days before the WTC tragedy of Sept. 11, which paves the way for a declaration of martial law in his state. The governor, in his EO, delegated to, “...the Adjutant General of the state of Florida all necessary authority....to order members of the Florida National Guard into Active Service.”

Immediately after the second WTC tower fell, Governor Bush signed EO 01-262 to make Florida the first state to declare a state of emergency though his state did not experience any terrorist events that day. Governor Bush is reportedly the only governor in the U.S. outside of NY and D.C. to make a declaration of martial law in the wake of the WTC tragedy. Interestingly, Governor Bush's declaration came before authorities in New York or Washington, D.C. declared states of emergency.

The text (see italics above) of the little reported declared state of emergency that exists in Florida leaves little doubt that the state is currently functioning under martial law.

The Florida national Guard, like the national guard units in the several states, is operated under the authority of the state government. The national guard can also be called up under the orders of the federal government.

There is no sunset clause to this EO. Jeb Bush, the son of former President Bush and the brother of current President Bush, has signed an EO that will keep Florida in a perpetual state of martial law until the EO has been revoked.

***

Historical note:

During the Civil War and the era known as Reconstruction, President Abraham Lincoln had declared a state of martial law. The authority President Lincoln gave himself at that time through executive order was not unlike the authority Governor Bush gave to himself September 11, 2001.

President Lincoln and his military government arrested and tried civilians in both military and civilian courts (which were operating under similar if not identical rules). The writ of habeas corpus was suspended.

The flagrant abuses of unchecked authority during the Civil War era led to the passage of the Posse Comitatus Act. The Act was intended to prohibit the use of federal military forces in domestic law enforcement.

The Posse Comitatus Act was hotly debated during the infamous siege at Waco. Janet Reno's Department of Justice rationalized itself out of being subject to the act because of alleged drug violations by the Branch Davidians.

The government theorizes that with a declared “war” on drugs, the military can be used in domestic actions.

We can see how these precedents have been used to justify the placement of armed and uniformed federal troops at airports all over the nation.

History has shown that declarations of martial law and the suspension of due process are followed by heinous abuses of that authority.

THIS IS THE third time since Sept. 11, 2001, that the terrorist threat level has been raised to Code Orange. But in what several officials are calling an “orange-plus” alert, state and local officials said Washington was asking that more extensive security measures be put in place than on the previous occasions.

Dubbed Operation Liberty Shield, the series of measures includes increased security at the nation’s borders, airports, seaports and railways, and at nuclear and chemical plants. In addition, cars will be subject to random inspections on roads around airports. Governors are being asked to deploy National Guard troops or extra state police to help.

PORTS TO BE CLOSED?
There also have been discussions about closing the nation’s most strategic ports, MSNBC.com has learned. Tony Alejandro, deputy director of operations for the port of Corpus Christi, Texas, told MSNBC.com that discussions had been “very general” so far, and that any decision would be made by the U.S. Coast Guard and the captains of the ports in question.

Ridge said the heightened security measures “will help protect our citizens, our infrastructure and, very importantly, help deter those who plan further terrorist attacks.”

He said that, so far, the intelligence community hadn’t identified any specific threats to the nation.
Ridge called on the public to be watchful for any threats, but he also urged people not to panic if there are rumors of terrorist attacks.

“There is bound to be disinformation. Don’t react to rumors. We will strive to get the facts out there as fast as we can,” he said.
can't help but chuckle

State officials briefed Monday night about raising the threat level said they were told that a terrorist attack on U.S. soil is a near certainty.

Ridge responded to those statements Tuesday, saying, “Well, I think the message was, we know we have been attacked before. We know that our interests have been attacked abroad. And we should prepare for potential attacks, either here or abroad at this time.”

ASYLUM-SEEKERS SCRUTINIZED
Ridge also defended plans to hold asylum-seekers from Iraq and 33 other countries for background checks. “We want to make sure, during this period of time, that you are who you say you are,” Ridge said.

On Monday, the Bush administration raised the terror alert from yellow, or elevated, to orange, the second-highest level on a five-color scale. Counterterrorism officials said the decision was based on threats from several quarters: al-Qaida, Iraqi operatives and free-lance terrorists.






U.S. counterterrorism officials say the most specific information points to possible attacks on U.S. forces in the Middle East.

Al-Qaida could stage attacks, and the Mukhabarat, Saddam Hussein’s intelligence service, could attempt bombings or other traditional terrorist-style attacks, officials said. Agents of the Mukhabarat are thought to work out of Iraqi embassies around the world under diplomatic cover.

FBI SCRUTINY
The State Department recently urged more than 60 countries to expel some 300 suspected operatives, but many have not been removed.

The FBI is closely watching dozens of Iraqis and others living in the United States under a wide-ranging security plan meant to deter any reprisals for a U.S. invasion, bureau officials said. The plan, a year in the making, is expected to divert several thousand FBI agents away from regular duties to focus solely on counterterror and security.

Some of those under the FBI’s watch have been identified through ongoing interviews of up to 50,000 Iraqis. Others are suspected of having links to al-Qaida and other terror groups, possibly including the Hamas and Hizballah organizations blamed for attacks in Israel.

OTHER MEASURES
Other security steps that are being taken as part of the stepped-up concern:
More Coast Guard patrols, escorts of passenger ships and additional sea marshals.
Temporary flight restrictions over Washington, D.C., New York City and certain other unidentified U.S. cities.
Increased security at major railroad facilities and hubs.
Additional security measures for licensed users of radioactive material.
Monitoring of the Internet for signs of cyber-terrorism, hacking and “state-sponsored information warfare.”
Enhanced inspection of imported food.

It seems Tom Ridge didn't think it all the way through -- just like he
didn't think through the bit about duct tape and plastic sheeting.

It looks like Bush's Iraq attack will go down sooner before later and -- if
we are to believe Tom Ridge and the Ministry of Homeland Security folks --
the Iraqis or maybe al-Qaeda will respond with terrorist attacks on America.
In response, security officials have set up something called "Operation
Liberty Shield."

Operation Liberty Shield means the color-coded terror alert is now orange --
one step below red -- and new airspace regulations are in place, there is
supposedly increased "vigilance" on the roadways, railroads, and at food
installations and such.

Barney Fife is on the lookout for Iraqi terrorists.

In New Jersey, a former FBI man and current director of counter-terrorism,
Sid Caspersen, says a red alert will restrict all personal freedom to move
about and associate. "Red means all noncritical functions cease," Caspersen
explained. "Noncritical would be almost all businesses, except
health-related." In other words, you have to stay at home unless there's a
dire medical emergency.

"The state will restrict transportation and access to critical locations,"
Caspersen told Gannett News. "You must adhere to the restrictions announced
by authorities and prepare to evacuate, if instructed. Stay alert for
emergency messages... The government agencies would run at a very low
threshold... You literally are staying home, is what happens, unless you are
required to be out. No different than if you had a state of emergency with a
snowstorm."

Oh, so a Code Red terror alert would be something like a snowstorm. You'd
get to stay home from work, the kids would be off school. In most cases,
though, even during a bad snow storm, it's not illegal to go outside, the
cops are not operating on a "low threshold," which I guess means they can
shoot you for walking around in your front yard. It would be like an
Americanized version of curfew in Gaza or the West Bank. You'd be forced to
stay inside, hopefully with enough duct tape and plastic sheeting on hand.

As for staying tuned to TV or radio for further instructions, I have a
problem there. I own a TV, but it's not working -- and even if it did I
don't have an antenna on the thing so it can't pick up a signal. I don't own
a radio, either. But I do have a radio in the car, so I could go outside to
the parking lot and wait for further instructions in my car. But wait a
minute... if I left the apartment wouldn't I risk being arrested or even
shot for breaking the curfew?

This code-red stuff is complicated.

It seems Tom Ridge didn't think it all the way through -- just like he
didn't think through the bit about duct tape and plastic sheeting.

I'm not the only one confused.

For instance, in Crawford county, Ohio, school superintendent Sam Preston
has a different take on a red alert than Sid Caspersen in New Jersey. "If
the president puts out a general Red Alert for the country, it will be
business as usual," Preston told the Telegraph-Forum. "Should some national
crisis occur and we have forewarning, we will not open school that day. If
something were to happen while our students are in school we will not have
any early dismissals unless there is some imminent reason of a clear and
present danger to the area."

Wait a minute, I thought a red alert means you keep the kids home, you don't
send them to school. Did I miss something, or is Mr. Preston attempting to
get his district's kids all thrown in one of those internment camps we hear
so much about? Tom Ridge needs to have the Ministry of Homeland Security
print up a booklet or something -- maybe put up a web page or hire an ad
agency to come up with some slick TV ads to clarify all of this.

Meanwhile, in Erie, Pennsylvania, Nick Sleptzoff, director of the Erie
County Emergency Management Agency, doesn't seem real clear on what to do if
we go to the Big Red. "If it is something not directly affecting Erie
County, we may not initiate those activities," he told the Erie Times-News.
"We've got to use some common sense here. If it affects us, then we have to
take the measures we put in place." He said the last time we had an orange
alert it was no big deal. "It really didn't mean a whole lot because nothing
was happening here," he said.

Yeah, but Nick, don't you know there are al-Qaeda sleeper cells all over the
place? Ashcroft and Ridge have said as much for months. We all have to be
vigilant. I'm not sure what that means exactly, but I hear it a lot these
days. Be vigilant. Be aware of your surroundings. Report suspicious
activities. Last time somebody called the cops about something suspicious
here the cops arrived at a motel dressed in chemical suits. It turned out to
be a cardboard box with some old rags stuffed in it. I'm not sure the cops
in this small city would know how to handle a serious al-Qaeda type
situation. Besides, why would al-Qaeda mess with our town, wouldn't they be
more interested in a big ticket item like say New York, Boston, or
Washington?

In Indiana, Gov. Frank O'Bannon told the Indianapolis Star a red alert would
set in motion security measures "for the Statehouse and the legislative and
judicial offices and state employees... We'd be blocking streets (in the
state government complex). We'd be doing the things that we did after 9/11,
and then see what the red alert might bring with it."

In other words, he's pretty much clueless like everybody else. Of course, he
will take care of government employees and legislators -- apparently, the
regular citizens of Indiana are on their own. Let's hope they have enough
duct tape and plastic sheeting on hand.

Down in South Carolina they're laid back about all this homeland security
and code red stuff. "We're not going to act recklessly, and the public needs
to be assured of that," State Law Enforcement Division Chief Robert Stewart
told the Myrtle Beach Sun News. South Carolina has its own emergency
designations, but they aren't in synch with the five color-coded federal
alerts, Stewart said. He also said Tom Ridge hasn't even settled on a final
color code for all states, or so Stewart found out when he attended a
Ministry of Homeland Security meeting in Washington last month. In South
Carolina, they call their alerts "Op Con" followed by a number.

Talk about nobody being on the same page.

In fact, most of South Carolina's National Guard doesn't even have military
police training, so they wouldn't really know what to do if an al-Qaeda
sleeper cell cropped up out of nowhere. Like most people in the country,
South Carolinians probably doubt they're on an Iraqi suicide mission short
list. "If you've prepared yourself and your family for a natural disaster...
then you'll have done a lot to prepare for any emergency," said Max Learner,
a senior state health agency staffer who coordinates emergency response.

There it is again... a terrorist attack's not much different than a bad
snowstorm, or a flood, tornado, something like that. I bet a hurricane's
much worse than a few pissed off Iraqis bent on revenge.

I'm more worried about what Ashcroft is doing to the Fourth Amendment and
the Constitution than I am about a few Iraqis with pipe bombs.

It's obvious -- Bush and Crew are trying to scare us again.

They do this when they want to divert our attention or wake us up from our
TV-induced stupor and pay attention. As for Iraqis invading the heartland --
they didn't attack us when Dubya's daddy invaded them, so why would they do
it now? Back in 1991 they had a half decent military -- that is until the US
military pulverized it. Now they have a difficult time getting three squares
a day and some decent drinking water.

No, a red alert's not going to mean a whole lot to the majority of the 280
million people in this country. Kids will go to school, people will shop at
the mall. No way will every McDonalds in the nation close down. The
economy's already screwed, imagine what five or six days without business
would do to it.
