Do we need a truth commission to reveal secret programs?A Variation of Bush's TIPS Program - On Steroids Since Going Underground

to harass and surveill targets 24/7
Is this COINTELPRO 2009?

From the Feingold "Restoring the Rule of Law" hearing -
We need " bipartisan independent investigatory Commission"
"A Commission would serve several vital functions. It would reveal the many as-yet-unknown aspects of what our government has done and how it evaluated or rationalized its actions. And there is much we do not know. We still do not know, for example, the legal justifications advanced for the so-called "extraordinary rendition" or "terrorist surveillance" programs." Further, "Nor do we know whether there are other secret programs that have not yet been revealed."

From Team of federal Inspectors general report, July, 2009 - the Bush surveillance program was massive - the report questioned the legal basis for the effort (which was crafted by John Yoo) - the nature of the massive surveillance program remains classified.

Feingold Report Card on Obama - all incompletes in the area of Surveillance and Privacy where Obama is continuing Bush policies

How will we know if there is a COINTELPRO 2009 without a truth Commission?

Yeh they are. This statute creates "thought crimes" and is the ultimate big brother invasion of the fundamental rights that define what it means to be an American. CCR is right on. Obama, a professor of constitutional law, FCOL, if anyone, should know better. This law is part of the fascist Bushie "imperial presidency" doctrine that gives the ... Read Morefederales banana republic like powers to round up whoever they don't like, charge them with being bad people and lock them up forever without trial. The whole legal structure created by the Bushies has to be dismantled.

I support and have volunteered for Obama, but when it comes to free speech I prefer to use my own judgement: defend free speech at all costs.

Yeah, isn't that little bit of history disgusting? At least Kitt then went to Europe and worked there. If they opened the doors, Europe could easily brain-drain the US right about now--if there wasn't surplus labour already. The venal, petty, self-aggrandizing US ruling class is not fit to rule. Amazed the good folks at CCR are fighting the rear-guard action, though.

Don't forget U.S. Surveillance Policy, that the Attorney General's Guidelines rescinded anti-COINTELPRO regulations, that John Yoo also wrote the legal memos undergirding the massive surveillance operation put in place by George Bush that shocked Congresspersons like Jane Harman when she first heard about it from a federal Inspectors General Report... Read More in July, 2009. When you have firemen reporting people to fusion centers and then have information about them put in data banks and then COINTELPRO harassment and surveillance used against them - you have human rights violations every day in the U.S. Check out my web site - www.theintrovertspeaks.com and my new Facebook Group - Watching FBI Surveillance.
