Spying on Activists Discussed at Forum

Washington Post

The 53 men and women wrongly classified by the Maryland State Police as terrorists include two Catholic nuns, a Democratic candidate for Congress, a man who campaigns against military recruiting at high schools and one person who has never set foot in the state.
They share a passion for peaceful political protest. But as the activists were invited last week to review their files before they are purged from state and federal databases that track terrorism suspects, their identities indicate that the 14-month surveillance operation in 2005 and 2006 targeted not just local opponents of the death penalty and Iraq war, as police claim, but a broader group.
Frederick lawyer Barry Kissin, his wife and two other members of the Frederick Progressive Action Coalition received letters from the police last week notifying them that they were on the list. Since the anthrax attacks in 2001, the group has been devoted to marching peacefully to fight the government’s expansion of biodefense research at Fort Detrick, arguing that the research will pose a health threat.
“That’s what ties the four of us together,” said Kissin, who ran unsuccessfully for Congress as a Democrat in 2006.
Kissin was one of 70 activists who gathered at Takoma Park Presbyterian Church yesterday for a forum sponsored by the Washington Peace Center to discuss a strategy to ensure that their names are erased from any anti-terrorism databases. Among their questions are why some of them were targeted and others spared. Some people named in surveillance logs released in July by the American Civil Liberties Union of Maryland — which sued for the documents under public records laws — have not been contacted by police.
Some who made the list said they were not in Maryland when the spying took place, prompting them to wonder if the operation went on for longer or if their names were culled from other databases. The activists were furious that they will not be allowed to keep paper copies of their files or review them with attorneys for the ACLU, which is representing many of them.

It’s simply government vs population.

Of course we are on a list! Now days if you peacefully disagree your still a terrorist just for not having the same opinion as the powers that be. Lots of people cannot stand the fact that we are allowed to have our own opinion, it drives them crazy, and they simply start to make up their own rules/laws as they go. And it’s such a pain in the ass when these type of people drag you into their world, because then you have to get attorneys and demand your rights, wastes your precious time, but they are on a mission to cleanse America of those who just dont see things like they do. For example when Sarah Palin said at one of her rallies that Obama simply didnt see things the way she/we do.

illwill, you are correct. And lately the people you would never expect to have such strong feelings, are starting to SERIOUSLY talk of having to RECLAIM what we believed to be OURS!
They want a fight, a fight they will get. And once again the crown will underestimate the Patriots of this, once again to be, greatest f*#kin’ country on Earth.
Let ‘em spy, maybe just maybe, some soulless brownshirt will come to his senses while monitoring us. But then again, f*#k ‘em, they chose their side.

Just an word for those of you who are into converting online video. I’ve used a brilliant utility called WebVideoRip for a long time to capture streaming movies from YouTube, Facebook and Hulu. This program lets you capture videos in automatic and semi-automatic mode and doesn’t require any more attention. [url=http://webvideorip.com]webvideorip.com[/url] is where you can download a free trial version that will only record 3 minutes of video. WebVideoRip will also download and convert multiple videos at the same time.
I waste 5 hours until finally discover this interesting resource. Thank you gurus…
