The Department of Homeland Security is moving towards implementing a provision of the Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007 otherwise known as the thought crimes bill. This is despite the fact that the legislation has not been signed into law. The House version of the bill HR 1955 was passed by a margin of 404-6 where as the Senate version of the bill S 1959 is still awaiting action. One of the bill’s provisions gives the Department of Homeland Security the authority to fund a University based Center of Excellence to study ways to thwart what the government believes are extremist belief systems and radical ideologies of individual Americans. In other words, if the government doesn’t like the way you think, they are going to have teams of social scientists and behavioral experts trying to figure out the best way to deal with you. As it turns out, the Department of Homeland Security is already funding a Center of Excellence to study thought criminals in the United States at the University of Maryland. This shows that it doesn’t matter if S 1959 is defeated or not, as they are moving forward with this agenda with or without Congressional approval. In reality, Congress is nothing more than a staged circus to make people falsely believe that they actually have a say in what the government does. The Department of Homeland Security is funding research to setup an Orwellian system to deal with political dissenters under the guise of fighting terrorism and they care not if it is in accordance with what the people want. Another words, be prepared for the possibility of a future with re-education camps as a real life Ministry of Love system is implemented.

The following is taken from Security Products Online detailing the Department of Homeland Security’s funding of this Center of Excellence that will study thought crimes or as they like to call it the threat of homegrown terrorism and violent radicalization.

Erik Larson, I like this story. It's good stuff.

Lovely news - just what I needed to hear ...

But, hey, there's probably nothing to be concerned about since, 'If you've done nothing wrong, then you've got nothing to fear.'

Right ? I am right about this, right ?

if our "representatives", i.e. "public servants" are doing nothing wrong, then they shouldn't mind the Citizenry going over everything they do with a microscope. I think they should all be required to live in glass houses while they're in public office. After all, they make such a pretense of patriotism, honor and loyalty to the Constitution.

Just read the article at the last link in your piece ...

'Gary LaFree, director of the University of Maryland-based National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism (START) ...'

Gary LaFree, what a great name for the director. Sounds like he's all about our freedom! Boy, that's a relief ...

Where do they get these guys ?
