Preliminary Comment by Connie fogal,leader CAP/PAC

Canadians take heed!!! What Paul Craig Roberts explains below is not an attack
that affects only U.S. citizens . It affects Canadians directly as a result of
the 2001 Smart Border Declaration and the 2005 Security and Prosperity
Partnership Agreement (S.P.P.) both of which, in effect, promise to do all
necessary to ensure that Canada functions identically to the USA. (See my
article called "The Metamorphosis and Sabotage of Canada by Our Own Government" on home page of www.canadianactionparty.ca and under Leader's messages- written by me in 2005.)

Canadians suffer even greater deceit than the people of the USA because here
these types of laws are being implemented more piecemeal, hidden in legislation
that is really a compendium of amendments of existing legislation, written in
obscure language that hides the true intent and effect. Note the new 2008
Accountability Act and our 2001 antiterrorist legislation as examples of such
compendiums. Simultaneously, Canada's cabinet ministers have taken unto
themselves extraordinary discretionary powers akin to the "prerogative right of
kings". In this way, what is set out below by Paul Craig Roberts about the USA
will be effected in Canada.

And no elected party in Canada's Parliament is even saying "Boo!" while they
unilaterally bring in legislation affecting our Canada ELections Act which will
probably guarantee the death of the smaller parties outside Parliament, the
only voices of dissent in this time of great need.

Read, and muster your courage while it is still easy, always remembering that
the mass of the people united in the knowledge that our informed will can abort
this agenda can and will take the earth to its intended destiny of bounty for
all. Take the steps suggested below applying them to Canada's parliamentarians
and our senate. Then realize you do not have to be the white knight in shining
armour. You just have to be the thinking, caring, talking, acting you, your
way.

Subject: DO NOT DELETE...FORWARD TO ENDS OF EARTH...GOD BLESS PAUL CRAIG ROBERTS!

Excerpt:
"The bill passed the House on a vote of 404-6. In the Senate the bill
issponsored by Maine Republican Susan Collins and apparently faces no
meaningful opposition. Harman's bill is called the "Violent Radicalization and
Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act." When HR 1955 becomes law, it will create
a commission tasked with identifying extremist people, groups, and ideas.
"The commission will hold hearings around the country, taking testimony and
compiling a list of dangerous people and beliefs. The bill will, in short,
create massive terrorism in the United States. But the perpetrators of
terrorism will not be Muslim terrorists; they will be government agents and
fellow citizens....."

Do not stop here. Read every word. But even more important, believe
every word. And do something, do anything, but do something!

I hope our country can pull out of this tragic situation, with God's
assistance. However,why would the Good Lord make an effort for a country whose
leaders and most of the population seem hell-bent on ignoring His word?

Try to keep Ron Paul's candidacy alive; talk him up to those who do not
understand what is coming down the pike. MIracles can still happen. Brokered
conventions can happen. He is the only candidate who will try to keep the
torch of freedom burning for not just our nation but the rest of the world.

Please take a moment out of your busy day to forward this email to all
your elected officials at the local, state, and national levels. Please
excerpt the guts of Roberts' article and put his words into a shortened version
for a letter to the editor of your local newspaper. It is a known fact that
your local paper is the best medium for getting the truth to the people.
People read the sports section first, and then letters to the editor. Most
small town newspapers will still print letters to the editor if they are not
too long. And don't forget to include a request that readers contact their
elected officials IMMEDIATELY to repeal this legislation!! Give readers this
telephone number to call: (Capitol Switchboard) 202-224-3121.

Thank you,

God bless all of you and your families.

"Thinking for Yourself is Now a Crime"

January 4, 2008

By PAUL CRAIG ROBERTS

What was the greatest failure of 2007? President Bush's "surge" in Iraq? The
decline in the value of the US dollar? Subprime mortgages? No. The greatest
failure of 2007 was the newly sworn in Democratic Congress.

The American people's attempt in November 2006 to rein in a rogue government,
which has committed the US to costly military adventures while running
roughshod over the US Constitution, failed. Replacing Republicans with
Democrats in the House and Senate has made no difference.

The assault on the US Constitution by the Democratic Party is as determined
as the assault by the Republicans. On October 23, 2007, the House passed a bill
sponsored by California Democratic congresswoman Jane Harman
[http://www.congress.org/bio/id/52], chairwoman of a Homeland Security
subcommittee, that overturns the constitutionally guaranteed rights to free expression, association, and assembly.

The bill passed the House on a vote of 404-6. In the Senate the bill is
sponsored by Maine Republican Susan Collins
[http://www.congress.org/bio/id/283] and apparently faces no meaningful
opposition. Harman's bill is called the "Violent Radicalization and Homegrown
Terrorism Prevention Act."When HR 1955 [http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/D?
d110:4:./temp/~bd6uWO::|/bss/d110query.html|] becomes law, it will create a
commission tasked with identifying extremist people, groups, and ideas. The
commission will hold hearings around the country, taking testimony and
compiling a list of dangerous people and beliefs. The bill will, in short,
create massive terrorism in the United States. But the perpetrators of
terrorism will not be Muslim terrorists; they will be government agents and
fellow citizens.

We are beginning to see who will be the inmates of the detention centers
being built in the US by Halliburton under government contract.

Who will be on the "extremist beliefs" list? The answer is: civil
libertarians, critics of Israel, 9/11 skeptics, critics of the
administration's wars and foreign policies, critics of the administration's
use of kidnapping, rendition, torture and violation of
the Geneva Conventions, and critics of the administration's spying on
Americans. Anyone in the way of a powerful interest group--such as
environmentalists opposing politically connected developers--is also a
candidate for the list.

The "Extremist Beliefs Commission" is the mechanism for identifying Americans
who pose "a threat to domestic security" and a threat of "homegrown terrorism"
that "cannot be easily prevented through traditional federal intelligence or
law enforcement efforts."

This bill is a boon for nasty people. That SOB who stole your girlfriend,
that hussy who stole your boyfriend, the gun owner next door--just report them
to Homeland Security as holders of extreme beliefs. Homeland Security needs
suspects, so they are not going to check. Under the new regime, accusation is
evidence. Moreover, "our" elected representatives will never admit that they
voted for a bill and created an "Extremist Belief Commission" for which there
is neither need nor constitutional basis.

That boss who harasses you for coming late to work--he's a good candidate to
be reported; so is that minority employee that you can't fire for any normal
reason. So is the husband of that good-looking woman you have been unable to
seduce. Every kind of quarrel and jealousy can now be settled with a phone call
to Homeland Security.

Soon Halliburton will be building more detention centers.

Americans are so far removed from the roots of their liberty that they just
don't get it. Most Americans don't know what habeas corpus is or why it is
important to them. But they know what they want, and Jane Harman has given them
a new way to settle scores and to advance their own interests.

Even educated liberals believe that the US Constitution is a "living
document" that can be changed to mean whatever it needs to mean in order to
accommodate some new important cause, such as abortion and legal privileges for
minorities and the handicapped. Today it is the "war on terror" that the
Constitution must accommodate. Tomorrow it can be the war
on whomever or whatever.

Think about it. More than six years ago the World Trade Center and Pentagon
were attacked. The US government blamed it on al Qaeda. The 9/11 Commission
Report has been subjected to criticism by a large number of qualified people--
including the commission's chairman and co-chairman.

Since 9/11 there have been no terrorist attacks in the US. The FBI has tried
to orchestrate a few, but the "terrorist plots" never got beyond talk organized
and led by FBI agents. There are no visible extremist groups other than the
neoconservatives that control the government in Washington. But somehow the
House of Representatives overwhelmingly sees a need to create a commission to
take testimony and search out extremist views (outside of Washington, of
course).

This search for extremist views comes after President Bush and the Justice
(sic) Department declared that the President can ignore habeas corpus, ignore
the Geneva Conventions, seize people without evidence, hold them indefinitely
without presenting charges, torture them until they confess to some made up
crime, and take over the government by declaring an
emergency. Of course, none of these "patriotic" views are extremist.

The search for extremist views follows also the granting of contracts to
Halliburton to build detention centers in the US. No member of Congress or the
executive branch ever explained the need for the detention centers or who the
detainees would be. Of course, there is nothing extremist about building
detention centers in the US for undisclosed inmates.

Clearly the detention centers are not meant to just stand there empty. Thanks
to 2007's greatest failure--the Democratic Congress--there is to be
an "Extremist Beliefs Commission" to secure inmates for Bush's detention
centers.

President Bush promises us that the wars he has launched will cause
the "untamed fire of freedom" to "reach the darkest corners of our world."
Meanwhile in America the fire of freedom has not only been tamed but also is
being extinguished.

The light of liberty has gone out in the United States.
