ORIGINAL: Aneirin The sad case of Stella Baker and her treatment at the hands of immigration officials in the U.S., it is possible their attention was drawn to the fact that her British Passport stated she was female, yet they discovered not.How this 'discovery' came into being I can only speculate, but I do see why a ' big red flag' would be waving in their eyes, with the recent security state and high possibility of terrorist action. But thinking on this, this deplorable treatment of a UK citizens rights, what has caused this change in the U.S.That change I do believe is terrorists Policies based upon fear have caused this. quote:
So the real damage terrorists cause is suspicion, the fear they create through threats and occasional terrorist actions erodes society.It comes to a point when suspicion is so rife that everyone is a suspect to everyone and everyone suspects everyone.Trust has gone, anyone that does not 'fit in', may be classed as an undesirable.Scary isn't it? Witch hunt comes to mind. quote:
This to me is the real damage intended or otherwise, take a normal friendly society, terrorise it with violence and things change.The governing bodies suddenly appear to be more competant, their failures accepted as 'they are doing their best to safeguard the public'.Government gains a tighter grip on the populace, but terrorism still happens.It would seem just as things appear to settle down to some degree of past normality and there is yet another terrorist action, just to remind people and so the cycle continues. There are many that do not accept much of this, but we do deal with what is. At the same time though, we look to what could be and push for that. quote:
It is very sad what is happening, this 'fear' is leading to societies being ripped apart, we are are destroying ourselves from within.What it will take is for people to recognise what is happening and put a stop to it, do not allow terrorists to win by breaking a society. Fear is a great motivator for the masses. It often can burn quickly, and the fear be turned upon those that are using it. We cannot say that our actions (as Americans) are just the result of the attacks upon us, that would be just a rationalization of not accepting our responsibilities as citizens. Osama bin Laden said before the attacks of the Twin Towers, that to defeat America you must defeat her economically. Look at all the spending that is being done, at a time when we cannot afford it. Osama also said, to bring the West to the land of the Muslims, would show that the infidels wish to invade, and would be a galvanizing force to Islam. Look how we reacted, and fulfilled what he wanted. I cannot see the endgame for the American politicians, that push the agenda of Imperialism, profits is a very short sighted answer. The endgame is much broader than that, and though I am not a conspiracy theorist, I believe the orchestraters are global and not just the Islamic Fascist or the American politicians that push this agenda. Having read many reports, from many different perspectives, there is alot missing. One thing that is glaring me in the face, is that the business as usual politics here in America must stop, for many reasons. "Those that would sacrifice liberty, for the sake of security, deserve neither." It was a great Man that said this, and it is very true. Live well, Orion
