Isn’t it coincidental there are new “terror attacks” in London
at the very moment the House is debating, on the heels of a late night meeting
of the House Rules Committee, an extension of the USA PATRIOT Act, billed as
“the premier American anti-terrorism tool,” as the corporate
media would have us believe. “This is the single most important vote
that Congress will cast to keep America safe during 2005,” said Republican
Rep. James Sensenbrenner of Wisconsin, the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee.
“We can never forget—and indeed, the news never lets us forget—the
threats we face in this dangerous world,” declared the former bug exterminator
from Sugarland, Texas, House Majority Leader Tom
DeLay. Of course, as a government propaganda tool, the corporate media will
never let us forget so-called “terror attacks,” especially when
those attacks just so happen to go down at the very moment unconstitutional
laws are up for renewal. So dangerous are the American people, or a small number
of them anyway, they need the government poking around in their library and
medical records. “That’s why we need strong homeland security laws
to protect us from our enemies. For four years, the PATRIOT Act has helped our
law enforcement and intelligence community stay one step ahead of the terrorists,
and this week, we’ve been reminded again how crucial it is we have such
protection going forward,” said the former bug exterminator. It has? I
guess that’s why Osama bin Laden and Abu Musab al-Zarqawi are still on
the loose. But then, as former CIA assets, now conveniently dead, I guess they
will remain in the loose forever, or at least for another generation or so,
as that is how long the “war on terrorism” will last.
