This is just a few sections out of it, they are analyzed by Alex Jones, an unanalyzed copy can be optained
the PBS website and many others.
SECTION 501 (Expatriation of Terrorists) expands the Bush administration’s “enemy
combatant” definition to all American citizens who “may” have violated any provision of Section 802 of the
first Patriot Act. (Section 802 is the new definition of domestic terrorism, and the definition is “any action that
endangers human life that is a violation of any Federal or State law.”) Section 501 of the second Patriot Act directly
connects to Section 125 of the same act. The Justice Department boldly claims that the incredibly broad Section 802 of the
First USA Patriot Act isn’t broad enough and that a new, unlimited definition of terrorism is needed.
Under
Section 501 a US citizen engaging in lawful activities can be grabbed off the street and thrown into a van never to be seen
again. The Justice Department states that they can do this because the person “had inferred from conduct” that
they were not a US citizen. Remember Section 802 of the First USA Patriot Act states that any violation of Federal or State
law can result in the “enemy combatant” terrorist designation.
SECTION 201 of the second Patriot Act
makes it a criminal act for any member of the government or any citizen to release any information concerning the incarceration
or whereabouts of detainees. It also states that law enforcement does not even have to tell the press who they have arrested
and they never have to release the names.
SECTION 301 and 306 (Terrorist Identification Database) set up a national
database of “suspected terrorists” and radically expand the database to include anyone associated with suspected
terrorist groups and anyone involved in crimes or having supported any group designated as “terrorist.” These
sections also set up a national DNA database for anyone on probation or who has been on probation for any crime, and orders
State governments to collect the DNA for the Federal government.
SECTION 312 gives immunity to law enforcement
engaging in spying operations against the American people and would place substantial restrictions on court injunctions against
Federal violations of civil rights across the board.
SECTION 101 will designate individual terrorists as foreign powers
and again strip them of all rights under the “enemy combatant” designation.
SECTION 102 states clearly
that any information gathering, regardless of whether or not those activities are illegal, can be considered to be clandestine
intelligence activities for a foreign power. This makes news gathering illegal.
SECTION 103 allows the Federal government
to use wartime martial law powers domestically and internationally without Congress declaring that a state of war exists.
SECTION
106 is bone-chilling in its straightforwardness. It states that broad general warrants by the secret FSIA court (a panel of
secret judges set up in a star chamber system that convenes in an undisclosed location) granted under the first Patriot Act
are not good enough. It states that government agents must be given immunity for carrying out searches with no prior court
approval. This section throws out the entire Fourth Amendment against unreasonable searches and seizures.
SECTION 109
allows secret star chamber courts to issue contemp charges against any individual or corporation who refuses to incriminate
themselves or others. This sections annihilate the last vestiges of the Fifth Amendment.
SECTION 110 restates that
key police state clauses in the first Patriot Act were not sunsetted and removes the five year sunset clause from other subsections
of the first Patriot Act. After all, the media has told us: “this is the New America. Get used to it. This is forever.”
SECTION
111 expands the definition of the “enemy combatant” designation.
SECTION 122 restates the government’s
newly announced power of “surveillance without a court order.”
SECTION 123 restates that the government
no longer needs warrants and that the investigations can be a giant dragnet-style sweep described in press reports about the
Total Information Awareness Network. One passage reads, “thus the focus of domestic surveillance may be less precise
than that directed against more conventional types of crime.”
*Note: Over and over again, in subsection after
subsection, the second Patriot Act states that its new Soviet-type powers will be used to fight international terrorism, domestic
terrorism and other types of crimes. Of course the government has already announced in Section 802 of the first USA Patriot
act that any crime is considered domestic terrorism.
SECTION 126 grants the government the right to mine the entire
spectrum of public and private sector information from bank records to educational and medical records. This is the enacting
law to allow ECHELON and the Total Information Awareness Network to totally break down any and all walls of privacy.
The
government states that they must look at everything to “determine” if individuals or groups might have a connection
to terrorist groups. As you can now see, you are guilty until proven innocent.
SECTION 127 allows the government to
takeover coroners’ and medical examiners’ operations whenever they see fit. See how this is like Bill Clinton’s
special medical examiner he had in Arkansas that ruled that people had committed suicide when their arms and legs had been
cut off.
SECTION 128 allows the Federal government to place gag orders on Federal and State Grand Juries and to take
over the proceedings. It also disallows individuals or organizations to even try to quash a Federal subpoena. So now defending
yourself will be a terrorist action.
SECTION 129 destroys any remaining whistleblower protection for Federal agents.
SECTION 202 allows corporations to keep secret their activities with toxic biological, chemical or radiological materials.
SECTION
205 allows top Federal officials to keep all their financial dealings secret, and anyone investigating them can be considered
a terrorist. This should be very useful for Dick Cheney to stop anyone investigating Haliburton.
SECTION 303 sets up
national DNA database of suspected terrorists. The database will also be used to “stop other unlawful activities.”
It will share the information with state, local and foreign agencies for the same purposes.
SECTION 311 federalizes
your local police department in the area of information sharing.
SECTION 313 provides liability protection for businesses,
especially big businesses that spy on their customers for Homeland Security, violating their privacy agreements. It goes on
to say that these are all preventative measures – has anyone seen Minority Report? This is the access hub for the Total
Information Awareness Network.
SECTION 321 authorizes foreign governments to spy on the American people and to share
information with foreign governments.
SECTION 322 removes Congress from the extradition process and allows officers
of the Homeland Security complex to extradite American citizens anywhere they wish. It also allows Homeland Security to secretly
take individuals out of foreign countries.
SECTION 402 is titled “Providing Material Support to Terrorism.”
The section reads that there is no requirement to show that the individual even had the intent to aid terrorists.
SECTION
403 expands the definition of weapons of mass destruction to include any activity that affects interstate or foreign commerce.
SECTION
404 makes it a crime for a terrorist or “other criminals” to use encryption in the commission of a crime.
SECTION
408 creates “lifetime parole” (basically, slavery) for a whole host of crimes.
SECTION 410 creates no statute
of limitations for anyone that engages in terrorist actions or supports terrorists. Remember: any crime is now considered
terrorism under the first Patriot Act.
SECTION 411 expands crimes that are punishable by death. Again, they point to
Section 802 of the first Patriot Act and state that any terrorist act or support of terrorist act can result in the death
penalty.
SECTION 421 increases penalties for terrorist financing. This section states that any type of financial activity
connected to terrorism will result to time in prison and $10-50,000 fines per violation.
SECTIONS 427 sets up asset
forfeiture provisions for anyone engaging in terrorist activities.
