The Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007

The U.S. House of Representatives recently passed HR 1955 titled the Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007. This bill is one of the most blatant attacks against the Constitution yet and actually defines thought crimes as homegrown terrorism.

This bill violates the ultimate right of the people to overthrow our own government if it becomes oppressive. Have they read the Declaration of Independence? Now , a homegrown terrorist can now be an American who disagrees with the war…that means you and me!

Enacted into law, it will also establish a commission and a Center of Excellence to study and defeat so called thought criminals. Unlike previous anti-terror legislation, this bill specifically targets the civilian population of the United States and uses vague language to define homegrown terrorism. Duped, 404 of our elected representatives from both the Democrat and Republican parties voted in favor of this bill. There is little doubt that this bill is specifically targeting the growing patriot community that is demanding the restoration of the Constitution. First let’s take a look at the definitions of violent radicalization and homegrown terrorism as defined in Section 899A of the bill.

The definition of violent radicalization uses vague language to define this term of promoting any belief system that the government considers to be an extremist agenda. Since the bill doesn’t specifically define what an extremist belief system is, it is entirely up to the interpretation of the government. Considering how much the government has done to destroy the Constitution they could even define Ron Paul supporters as promoting an extremist belief system. Literally, the government according to this definition can define whatever they want as an extremist belief system. Essentially they have defined violent radicalization as thought crime.

Welcome to “The American Police State”.

1. Yet how many DUers would accuse you of being a "tin foil conspiracy theorist?"

According to them, our "representative" govt passes such legislation either for the hell of it, or because they don't understand that a real war is being waged under the guise of a phony one.

The mind boggles.

2. rusty, i agree with you -

but what are you doing about it? i mean personally. I'm afraid that we have turned a corner and only the inevitable excess of state force will induce people to "see".
