From the same administration that released the DHS and MIAC reports, labeling citizens who support the Constitution, Ron Paul and limited Federal government as domestic terrorists, comes this beauty:
On Tuesday, the White House posted a blog that asked supporters to report “fishy” information they come across about the health insurance debate. The appeal was made at the end of the blog, which showed a video that countered a set of online clips that made it look like Obama wanted to eliminate private coverage.
“There is a lot of disinformation about health insurance reform out there,” the blog concludes. “Since we can’t keep track of all of them here at the White House, we’re asking for your help. If you get an email or see something on the web about health insurance reform that seems fishy, send it to flag@whitehouse.gov.”
With the request raising the possibility of a kind of Nixonian “enemies list” that would initiate a whole new brand of surveillance over that undertaken during the Bush administration, critics called the move an Orwellian tactic to control the health care debate.
That’s right, Obama has set up his snitch-line to report those ‘domestic terrorists’ who dare oppose his socialism and unconstitutional government actions.
Consider this: what potential, raw abuses of government/state power await those who dare stand against any political administration who runs afoul of the Constitution? After all, the Department of Homeland Security in it’s, “Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic And Political Climate” report lists gun owners (pg. 3), opponents of globalization (5), those opposed to abortion (5), same sex marriage (5) and illegal immigration (6), as ‘domestic terrorists’.
Or how about the Missouri Information Analysis Center (MIAC) report, “The Modern Militia Movement” report which lists those opposed to the New World Order (1), North American Union (4), and universal national service (6) as threats to the American public. Do you fly a Gadsen Flag? The MIAC reports lists you as a domestic terrorist (7). Or how about supporting a third political party? Ron Paul? The Campaign For Liberty? Again, you are a threat to the Homeland (7).
You see, Obama and the cronies moved very, very quickly to establish his enemies list. By working with law enforcement, he is targeting constitutionalists and libertarians for political character assassination in an attempt to marginalize and demean you. He know that adherents to the constitution are the biggest threat to his political agenda and also the biggest opportunity for the Republican party to rebuild. That is he is now going beyond law enforcement and establishing this snitch line only confirms the fact that the American people are waking up, fascism- the total state takeover of our lives- is breathing down our neck if we don’t demand a return to the Constitution, and demand it now.
Well we are going to have a little fun and show this Administration that we are not afraid of his gestapo tactics.
The White House strategy of turning supporters into snitches when they see “fishy” information about the health care debate may run afoul of the law, legal experts say.
“The White House is in bit of a conundrum because of this privacy statute that prohibits the White House from collecting data and storing it on people who disagree with it,” Judge Andrew Napolitano, a FOX News analyst, said Friday.
“There’s also a statute that requires the White House to retain all communications that it receives. It can’t try to rewrite history by pretending it didn’t receive anything,” he said.
“If the White House deletes anything, it violates one statute. If the White House collects data on the free speech, it violates another statute.”
Napolitano was referring to the Privacy Act of 1974, which was passed after the Nixon administration used federal agencies to illegally investigate individuals for political purposes. Enacted after Richard Nixon’s resignation in the Watergate scandal, the statute generally prohibits any federal agency from maintaining records on individuals exercising their right to free speech.
So what are we going to do? Simple, we are going to email ‘The Messiah’. Make sure that what you write is in opposition to one of his policies, preferably the reason this email address was created in the first place, nationalized health care. Cap and tax or opposition to the stimulus package are also good suggestions. In any event, just email his snitch line- flag@whitehouse.gov, and then our work begins.
You see, as Judge Napolitano writes, it is against the law for Obama to retain these records on political opponents, but it is also against the law for him to delete communications. You see we are going to force the issue to bring attention to the chilling effects of civilian monitoring that was put into place with the creation of the DHS, and put to use against citizens when Obama came into power. We are going to file Freedom Of Information Act requests to obtain our own emails to the President.
Should Obama fail to produce these records, he is in violation of the statue that requires him to retain communications to his office. Should he provide our own email back to us, he violates the Privacy Act of 1974. Either way, he is caught in a catch-22.
The ACLU notes:
The ACLU said in a statement to FOXNews.com that the White House blog is a “bad idea that could send a troublesome message.”
But the organization added, “While it is unclear at this point what the government is doing with the information it is collecting, critics of the administration’s health care proposal should not fear that their names will end up in some government database that could be used to chill their right to free speech.”
Specifics on filing a FOIA request can be found here, but the most important aspect is this: to ask for both a copy of the email, any database that it was collected in and person’s who it may have been forwarded on to. For the record, the address to mail your request to is as follows:
A request made under the FOIA must be submitted in writing, by mail or fax, to the following address:
Office of Administration
FOIA Officer
725 17th Street NW
Washington, DC 20503
Fax: (202) 456-7921The words FOIA REQUEST should be clearly marked on both the letter and the envelope.
Have fun, and realize this is a smoking gun against unconstitutional Executive and state power. As you get your responses, please let us know so that if necessary we can reverse engineer the President’s enemies list setup.
