I uncovered corruption in the Houston Mayor’s office. With the help of Houston Police and FBI Field Office in Houston, I’ve been retaliated, harassed, terrorized and poisoned with lethal and radio active substances in my body tens of thousands of times higher than normal. One HPD office told me: “If I were you, I change my name, hide in a small town. It’s big money, they’re many, you’re one. They don’t want you to talk.” Yes, they want me dead. My house has been consistently broken into, things were stolen from my suitcases at the airports and hotel rooms in America and overseas, my e-mails are hacked 24/7…. I’m 200% positive that I’m one of worst cases of NSL and Patriot Act abuse. Public beware. If we don’t speak up, it can happen to anyone.

[...] Earlier this year an internal Justice Department investigation (PDF) found that the FBI had not misused the Patriot Act in its mistaken prosecution of Mayfield, but that use of the Act had “amplified the consequences” of the FBI’s error. [...]

[...] Such material witness laws have been around for centuries, and these days prosecutors use them to ensure that reluctant witnesses actually show up in court. But there have also been abuses. And there are strange cases, such as the Pennsylvania prosecutor who locked up two teenagers who witnessed a murder. [...]

[...] Michael Hampton of Homeland Stupidity takes on the Patriot Act. Do we have to fear its abuse, or do we have to fear the incompetence of those using it? It seems an Oregon lawyer was mistakenly charged with being a part of the Madrid train bombings, and while that may have been an honest mistake, the use of the Patriot Act made it much more difficult for him to clear his name.

There are plenty of hate and bigotry in the US. Yes indeed, the Patriot Act is nothing more than a license to anyone in government, including law enforcement, to ignore our constitutional rights and civil liberties and take of us what they want and who they want. This is stuff that people have gone to war over in the past and you can bet, this is the groundwork for the making of another Civil War in this country. When it does, it will not be like ourt last civil war, but it will be much like the French Revolution, where royality and the upper class got their heads lobbed off. Only in this instance, it will be lawyers, legislators, corporate heads, government bureaucrats, the president, and members of law enforcement who will risk loosing theirs. So, if there are any of you who don’t believe our civil liberties aren’t at risk and a civil war inevitable, I am taking bets right now it will happen within 25 years, after enough people go to jail on false pretenses, or the first opportunity our economy takes a nose-dive causing social unrest, or enough of us are fed up with indentured servitude.
