Patriot Act Empowers Ministry of Homeland Security Gestapo

Kurt Nimmo || January 06, 2006

Our Congress critters have proposed the creation of a Ministry of Fatherland Defense federal police force. Under H.R. 3199 (the so-called “USA PATRIOT Improvement and Reauthorization Act of 2005?)—created to “extend and modify authorities needed to combat terrorism, and for other purposes,” according to the Library of Congress—Rep. Sensenbrenner introduced and sponsored the creation of the “United States Secret Service Uniformed Division” (USSSUD) to be marshaled by Michael Chertoff, secretary of DHS, all around neocon, and a member of the Federalist Society, a reactionary cabal with members such as former Reaganite and Bechtel favored son Edwin Meese, neocon boy wonder William Kristol, and master funder of troglodytic political causes and CIA operative Richard Mellon Scaife. Considering Chertoff’s penchant for rounding up people willy-nilly and incarcerating them without charge (as he did to around 750 Arabs and Muslims in the wake of nine eleven), the fact he will be entrusted with this spanking new federal police force should set off alarm bells. Of course, it didn’t even elicit a murmur in the ranks of the corporate media, although the blogger Ben Frank had a few choice words. Frank comments:
