"Just Keeping You Safe"

The subdivision of the American Cheka that employs Mr. Cerchione is the DHS's equivalent of the KGB's Ninth Chief Directorate, which supplied bodyguards for the CPSU's ruling elite and maintained security at significant government installations. In fact, the current version of that Directorate under the FSB (the re-named KGB) has exactly the same title as its American counterpart: Federalnaya Sluzhba Okhrany, which in English is generally rendered "Federal Protective Service."

Awaiting The Storm

"Flags. These are always a bad sign. Hardly a politician appears on television who doesn’t stand in front of an American flag, sometimes three American flags. A venomous nationalism now poisons the air, and grows. We are off and rolling.

The trappings of fascism spread. General David Petraeus, commander of the Eastern Front, poses with the President in the White House in combat fatigues. The country is now the Homeland, reminiscent of the Nazi Fatherland and the Soviet Motherland. We hear of American Exceptionalism, the ritual self-idolizaton beloved of pathological nationalism. Blood and Soil. The American Dream. Ubermenschen. All we need is a short Austrian."

Georgia Carry.Org Sticker = Special Treatment At Traffic Stop

"This is me getting stopped by Sandy Springs PD for speeding. The second thing the officer asked me, after asking for my license, was if I had any firearms. I responded that I was choosing to exercise my right to remain silent on that question. That answer prompted the officer to have me get out of the car for a pat down. The officer told me that the reason for his question (about firearms) was because I had a 'right to carry' sticker on my car. Yes, he actually said that."

The American Dream

I. Recently, TSA began subjecting passengers to "enhanced" pat-downs. I took them up on the free massage offer but was quite disappointed by the service. One of the two gropers was civil, the other surly. The massage was quite superficial, without proper warm-up of the muscles or a "happy end". Massage parlors near truck stops don't have to worry about TSA competition just yet. Their performance wasn't worth the $35 "security fee" added to the ticket price or the ten minutes of my time.

The crotch-sniffers involved didn't have very high morale. One of them insisted on explaining to me that they were trying to observe proprieties. Their self-justification wasn't any more interesting or relevant than the motives of leg-humping dogs. I got an impression that the TSA creatures understand well just how undignified, ridiculous and useless their work is. They may view it as preferable to being on the dole, though many taxpayers would happily pay them to just stay home.

I didn't have to deal with as much idiocy when leaving the USSR in 1989 from a Leningrad airport. Had the Soviets done this, we would have viewed it as an outrageous example of totalitarian harassment. When our own federales do it, it's supposed to make foreigners even more "envious of our freedoms". The insistence on official documents -- equivalents of internal passports -- for travel is another similarity to the USSR. Not a surprise from the agency that treats "1984" as an instruction manual rather than a dystopian cautionary tale. Explaining our recent acquiescence to indignities to my foreign friends is becoming awkward. What do I tell to people accustomed to travel without physical molestation by fast food rejects?

II. The outrageous behavior of TSA isn't yet a cause for worry. At this time, parents are still not able to explain to their kids why certain strangers are allowed to touch the whole family inappropriately. So long as the outrage lasts, we have hope for an eventual solution.

When the outrage wanes and gives place to apathy, resignation and habituation, then we will be in trouble for real. To a European or an American boarding a ship or a train in 1910, the quiet surrender to TSA and their DHS backers would have been unthinkable. A civilized person could travel armed, unmolested and treated with courtesy. Today, we practice submission rituals no different from ritual mounting among baboons.

In today's land of the free, the debate centers on whether nudo-scans or intimate groping by uniformed strangers is a lesser evil. Rosa Parks objected to something so comparatively benign as sitting in the back of a bus...I wonder how she would have reacted to blue-gloved hands under her skirt. The indignities of racism have abated...the indignities of being an American traveler are just starting. What would it take to end them -- court decisions, airline bankruptcies or direct pressure on individual perpetrators and their bosses?

III. American Dream
When we came to these shores of Promise
We were given a new lease on life
And welcomed newfound freedom
With tears in our eyes

But we noticed with passing years
The rank, familiar smell
Of government domination
Turning paradise into hell

Papers required for travel
And permits for everything
Controlling on many levels
What once was the American dream

Sure, the past wasn't truly perfect
And today is not so bad
But the future will be a horror
Unless we reverse this trend

Reverse it, resist, but truly
Protesting is not enough
Beauraucrats don't care
We argue and they just laugh

When we came to these shores of Freedom
We ran from unequal fights
But the front has caught up with us here
We ran out of havens for flight

It's the last, lonely line of trenches
And the choices are do or die
We could live as serfs, I am sure
But who would want such a life?

What have you done this year?
This month? Or even today?
Not time for open warfare
But long past for clandestine raids

Give one inch and they will take miles
So allow them nothing at all
Give them neither votes nor money
Deny your approval, walk tall

Let the feds be like dogs in the wild
Surrounded by wolves
Let them bark, posture and growl
Then help their bodies cool

It may be too early to shoot them
But leave them out in the cold
Deny them your business and company
Like forefather had done of old

Boycott any foul creature
That denies your freedom and lies
That all their crass impositions
Are for the betterment of our lives

Being a klansman is held by most
In very low esteem
TSA should be viewed also
As stupid, useless and mean

Let them cry, unheard in the wilderness
Give neither shelter nor aid
They already spread too much fear
It's now their turn to be afraid

"It will go down like this: the Right's extreme calls for Assange's execution will give the establishment the publicly defensible compromise to at least shut down their website by way of pressuring their service providers, etc. And the wimpy Left will compromise by letting it happen, while Assange will be allowed to remain alive and free."

It Can't Happen Here

.......at Babi-Yar, a ravine near Kiev in Ukraine, German security units assisted by local volunteers worked day and night until 33,771 captive Jews had been "processed" in this largest of such special actions. It took two days of nonstop killing. Eventually about 100,000 others — POWs and various civilian hostages—were also stripped, murdered and interred at Babi Yar.

Let's be clear, outrages like Babi-Yar are not happening here. And yes, invoking this event is farfetched and could be construed as diminishing that unspeakable tragedy. But consider Babi-Yar as a cautionary tale, that violating the innocent with impunity is a line that, once crossed, knows no other bounds. We as a people have stayed far away from that line for all of our history and rightly condemned peoples that didn't. Until now.

"Once I ran from Russia to freedom
To America of my dreams
Years later who came for a visit
If not the same damn regime

Sure differences abound
We are not yet USSR
But we better watch out now
Foes of freedom advanced too far

Not the worst but it comes to mind
Are strip searches at airports
We stand for such treatments, just grumble
Though time has come to do worse

Let's do what we can with letters,
With scorn, avoidance, boycotts
And plan to do something better
If lesser means don't work

For we live in a special country
It's our last, thin line of defense
The last ditch in war for dignity
And liberty for all men

Should we fail, we won't be able
To run to some other land
We must plan to prevail in battle
So liberty doesn't end

Where else can we run? Nowhere
The rest of the world isn't free
No help will come from without
This is up to you and me."

False Imprisonment

News reports on Saturday reporting that the TSA was announcing warnings to would-be travelers that any "would-be commercial airline passenger who enters an airport checkpoint but refuses to undergo the method of inspection as prescribed by the TSA workers on duty would not be allowed to fly, (but far more importantly)--would not be permitted to leave the airport."

Sounds like false imprisonment to me.

But that wasn't all. The TSA also included in it's announcement for the first time the new fine of $11,000 and possible arrest for anyone who refused.

TSA worker Sari Koshetz was quoted in one report, "Once a person submits to the screening process, they can not just decide to leave that process."

Like heck they can't.

I Wish I Was Elsewhere........ Perhaps In Sherwood Forest

"I wish I was elsewhere
I wish I was else-when
Than after the Patriot Act
In a lonely final stand

The night was like any other
My wife and son were in bed
When I awoke from slumber
And walked barefoot to the den

I didn't turn on any lights
Because the house was mine
I knew every turn and crevice
Could move like a cat in the dark

I wish I was elsewhere
I wish I was else-when
Than remembering the moments
After the door was rammed

I hear glass break upstairs
And then concussion grenades
Lit up the bedrooms above me
With roar fit to wake the dead

My wife and I had assumed
That intruders were just a gang
For we'd never done anything
To merit this pre-dawn raid

My wife and son tried to fight
The ninjas behind bright lights
But they were alone and stunned
I heard rattle of MP-fives

I wish I was elsewhere
I wish I was else-when
And not in my ruined home
With my family freshly dead

I thought to my self: "I am dreaming"
This gang just couldn't be Feds
But they acted just as one would expect
Shooting women and children dead

They hadn't found me yet
As I wasn't asleep in bed
My deer rifle was close by
What I wanted to say, it said

I retreated and so did they
Watching me from the outside
From the basement I still could tell
That they set my house on fire

In the choking smoke, I could just wait
Barefoot on cement basement floor
I wanted to take just one more of them
On my journey to the Beyond

I wish I was elsewhere
I wish I was else-when
Instead of this cold basement
At bay like a cornered rat

One more coal-scuttle helmet
Came up above barricade
And though my hands were shaky
I connected the one shot I made

The heat got beyond enduring
But the smoke, it got me first
And the house became a pyre
For me and two other corpses

The newspapers ran the story
That a three-person terrorist cell
Were taken down in pre-dawn hours
And that two brave policemen fell

I wish I was elsewhere
I wish I was else-when
Perhaps in the Sherwood Forest
With like-minded armed men."

"TSA Tags. Would be funny if it wasn't sad.

I wonder if the fine, brave men and women serving the American public by violating travelers would ever feel sufficiently shamed to go home and slit their bellies with kitchen knives. I would even settle for them simply quitting the agency."
=============================
"They are worrying about the wrong people

TSA is trying to keep a list of people who act out at airports in response to being poorly treated. That's not a very smart approach: people who throw temper tantrums are doing so out of feeling of helplessness. The creatures with rubber gloves should worry more about those who smile, move along and make plans for the future. A snide comment or a kicked suitcase doesn't much matter, whereas a careful person determined to re-visit TSA employees away from the video cameras and ready access to the airport cops could just be the disincarnating agent of comeuppance. Few Americans capable of effective violence would actually employ it except in direct self-defense. Given the occasional lynching of plain child molesters, it would seem likely that the molesters under the color of the law would be equally harshly treated if only by a tiny fraction of the millions they annoy daily."

At The Airport

Weeks ago, at Kandahar, tracers wanted his life
He was scared but armed, stood his ground to fight
Earned commendations and a Purple Heart

He is back, CONUS, with his favorite girl
On their way to vacation at a big airport

The man who fought through such steep odds
Is meekly in line, with his shoes taken off
His girl's getting frisked, he's waiting his turn

He is back CONUS, he looks right in the eyes
Of the enemy agents and his hackles rise

They disarm everyone who would chose air travel
They feel up the women, men they threaten with jail
They are thugs drunk with power on an animal level

He is in CONUS, in the land of the free
But he's having flashbacks and his dignity bleeds

That Marine watched his girl get felt up by the goons
Wishing he had a rifle and his whole platoon
Thinking "Wait, soldier, wait, not now but soon!"
