“The MIAC report specifically describes supporters of presidential candidates Ron Paul, Chuck Baldwin, and Bob Barr as “militia” influenced terrorists and instructs the Missouri police to be on the lookout for supporters displaying bumper stickers and other paraphernalia associated with the Constitutional, Campaign for Liberty, and Libertarian parties.”
Is this going to become a trend? Does anyone know if all the domestic spy surveillance is being used on folks like us?
Everything depends on just how far they take their facism.
So here’s a related question: Would you rather be the first to go by way of the firing squad or live in a slave-like existence under a fascist regime? The other option is escape, but to where?
I’d have to imagine they most certainly have. You see, we’re just ‘right-wing extremist terrorists.’ Movies are picking up on this theme already, too. We have been marked. The question then becomes, what shall we do about? And what will they?
I forgot to say what makes this movie pick up this theme. Well, the bad guy in the movie is a guy who blows up a bunch of soldiers. He wants to overthrow the government, etc. etc. The way he is portrayed makes me think that he is the typical “right-wing extremist” we’ve been warned about. I bet he clings to guns and religion.
What about movies like V for Vendetta where the freedom fighter is a protagonist?
I would say that current movies dont directly address the issue of state vs liberty. They indirectly make the state look cool through military technology being used to fight evil bad guys. See transformers and Iron man.
Unless you are a high profile person, I really doubt they have the resources to worry about us. And unless you actually are threatening to attack them, I really would not worry about it. Otherwise, you will just be stressed. They will do what they do.
I am not sure whether official intelligence agencies are too interested in libertarians but I do know that Southern Poverty Law Center has characterised Mises Institute as “Neo-confederate” and keeps some records of people associated with it. I am not whether Anti-defamation league of B’nai B’rith (ADL) has anything about libertarians but the organisation usually doesn’t like people who are have anti-liberal positions.
Here is an article about Thomas Dilorenzo in the website of SPLC.
I’m pretty certain they are . i doubt a program like COINTELPRO would just be ended .I’d imagine they keep an eye on us and check we’re derided as lunatics .
the big brother state doesn’t surprise me anymore.
It is not important at first. But first they add you to the list. Then they turn into a banana republic. Then they launch a dirty war. Then one night a death squad shows up on your porch. But that could never happen in the US.
