Obama tritt in Bushs Fussstapfen und kämpft weiter gegen die Freiheit
Barack Obama ist ein würdiger Nachfolger von George W. Bush, er betreibt weiterhin Foltergefängnisse (Guantanamo, Bagram) und will nun auch noch den Patriot Act erweitern, der offiziell zur Terrorismusbekämpfung dienen soll, de facto aber Schrecken und Entsetzen in der amerikanischen Bevölkerung auslöst und den Behörden ein Passepartout bietet, um diverse Freiheiten einzuschränken und inländische Spionage zu betreiben.
The Obama administration supports extending three key provisions of the Patriot Act that are due to expire at the end of the year, the Justice Department told Congress in a letter made public Tuesday.
Lawmakers and civil rights groups had been pressing the Democratic administration to say whether it wants to preserve the post-Sept. 11 law’s authority to access business records, as well as monitor so-called “lone wolf” terrorists and conduct roving wiretaps.
The provision on business records was long criticized by rights groups as giving the government access to citizens’ library records, and a coalition of liberal and conservative groups complained that the Patriot Act gives the government too much authority to snoop into Americans’ private lives.1
oder in David Kramers Worten:
Extending the Bush war in Afghanistan. Expanding on the Bush corporate welfare bailouts. Keeping in place Bush’s Fascist “PATRIOT” law. I just don’t know how much more of this Obama “change” I can handle.2
