The
“Patriot Act” is now in full implementation
here in the states and the resulting infringements
on citizens rights are becoming known and absorbed
by all, as the rose colored glasses are becoming quite
jaded. Maybe someone now in the reactionary Bush war
administration can calmly sit back and look towards
Ireland and the occupied six counties to see what
thirty years of “Special Governmental Powers”
and “Emergency Acts” have bred. Every
aspect of a citizen’s life is now a wide-open
book to the U.S.Government if the citizen is so designated
an undesirable. Be it through the library, schools,
collages, employers, Internet usage, phones, banks,
medical records or whatever is needed to get the person,
the full force of powers will be used.
In
Ireland, the Brit and Free State “Special Governmental
Power acts” were created for the sole purpose
of securing Brit and their collaborists rule over
the Irish peoples. To secure a partitioned two state
system that ignored the free votes of the Irish as
a unit in the 1918 election and through betrayal and
blood forced what is the Un-Republican Ireland we
have today. Although America is not occupied by a
foreign country, there is a significant population
of citizens who totally abhor the route General Bush
is taking.
The
Brits and their puppets used their powers almost exclusively
against Volunteers of the Irish Republican Movement
and their Patriot fighters who carry on 900-year struggle
for Irish freedom. Would these powers the Bush neo
reactionaries have gained be used to the detriment
of society to secure their vision of America`s future
course? Look towards Ireland for the answers.
The
Brits and their allies in Dublin have bred a society
of division, deceptions, coercion’s, media manipulation,
torture tactics, special juryless courts in which
the rights of man or woman are thrown in the wind
and the governmental corruption that is rampit. All
for what? To keep power and status quo no matter the
cost? Silencing dissenting voices is becoming the
norm by the Dublin government. They have continued
to harass, intimidate and arrest member of the Republican
Sinn Fein political party for no more reason but for
their continuing commitment to Irish freedom and breaking
the chains of Brit bondage and to call for accountability
by the Dublin government.
The
Irish government create outrageous bail conditions
for the Republicans so as to silence the voices of
truth. They prosecute on trumped up charges that would
not stand in a regular court and evidence that is
dubious. As of now we must bring to light that Ireland
is currently holding the “Limerick Seven”
who are all leading voices of Republican Sinn Fein
and exspouse differing views for a future Ireland
like the Eire Nua Program. Why? The powers cannot
create an environment of open and honest debate because
their position will not hold up. So they use the full
weight of authority to still the ripple of decent.
I bring this up because it all started as a one time
“Governmental Act” to combat a certain threat
but is still in effect thirty years later and encompasses
much more. We are right to question those who hold
power and who want more powers. American nativity
ended in Viet Nam, Iran- Contra, Watergate and the
corruption of politics by corporate wants and the
greed of money.
