Goss Legislation-June 18 2003
Edited on Tue Aug-10-04 06:27 PM by BeHereNow
Looks like Goss was selected LONG before today-
They even let him plan his own dance card way back
when!
The "Intelligence Authorization Act" is REALLY scary!
Hmmm, nothing more comforting that the thought
of it being legal for "alien agents" to now transport
military explosives, yes, HS is a real success!
"SEC. 332. MODIFICATIONS OF AUTHORITIES ON
EXPLOSIVE MATERIALS.

(a) AUTHORITY TO DISTRIBUTE EXPLOSIVE MATERIALS TO
QUALIFIED ALIENS- Notwithstanding any other provision of
law, it shall be lawful for any person knowingly to distribute
explosive materials to any qualified alien--

(1) if, in the case of a qualified alien described in
subsection (c)(1), the distribution to, shipment to,
transportation to, receipt by, or possession by the alien of
the explosive materials is in furtherance of such
cooperation; or

(2) if, in the case of a qualified alien described in
subsection (c)(2), the distribution to, shipping to,
transporting to, possession by, or receipt by the alien of
explosive materials is in furtherance of the authorized
military purpose.

(b) AUTHORITY FOR QUALIFIED ALIENS TO SHIP EXPLOSIVE
MATERIALS- Notwithstanding any other provision of law, it
shall be lawful for a qualified alien to ship or transport any
explosive in or affecting interstate or foreign commerce or
to receive or possess any explosive which has been shipped
or transported in or affecting interstate or foreign
commerce--

(1) if, in the case of a qualified alien described in
subsection (c)(1), the possession, shipment, or
transportation by the alien of the explosive materials is in
furtherance of such cooperation; or

(2) if, in the case of a qualified alien described in
subsection (c)(2), the possession, shipment, or
transportation by the alien of explosive materials is in
furtherance of the authorized military purpose.

(c) QUALIFIED ALIEN DEFINED- In this section, the term
`qualified alien' means an alien--

(1) who is lawfully present in the United States in
cooperation with the Director of Central Intelligence; or

(2) who is a member of a North Atlantic Treaty
Organization (NATO), or other friendly foreign military
force (as determined by the Attorney General with the
concurrence of the Secretary of Defense) who is present
in the United States under military orders for training or
other military purpose authorized by the United States."

Immunity for agency personnel! Yippee! Even LESS accountabilty!

SEC. 401. PROTECTION FROM TORT LIABILITY FOR
CERTAIN CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY PERSONNEL.

And...What legislation would be complete without
the ability to hire Mercenaries?

SEC. 503. AUTHORITY FOR INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY
ELEMENTS OF DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE TO AWARD
PERSONAL SERVICE CONTRACTS.

And last, but not least!
SEC. 335. PROCEDURAL REQUIREMENTS FOR CENTRAL
INTELLIGENCE AGENCY RELATING TO PRODUCTS OF
FEDERAL PRISON INDUSTRIES.

Cause lord knows, Prison Industries is really relevant to
Intelligence.

The world has gone mad.

2. I say that everyday...
and it just keeps coming.
Like a flaming avalanche of shit.
It is truly UNBELIEVABLE what they are passing
as "legislation" without a peep from the media.
Did you know everything Hitler did was legal?
He too, was very busy passing "laws" while
the German's were having fun!
BTW...
What time is American Idol on?
Snarf...People get the government they deserve.
Me? I am going to find a nice cave to hide in
for the next 50 years.

3. Kick! READ the BILL!
It tells you more about what they
have planned for YOUR future...
Goss has been in the pipeline for
this position for a LONG time.
AND, they snuck this bill through
in preparation for him to take this position.
EVIL
EVIL
EVIL
neocons.
This should also be a hint that
Bush will steal the election again, one
way or another. And just in case that
plan fails, they are slamming the legislation
and the rest of the players into position anyway.
Hang on to your asses because these
people are just getting started.

4. Another kick
I don't have the energy to read it tonight, but I'll take your word for it.

And now that we think about it, doesn't it make sense for the Bush/CIA Mafioso to plan their succession(s) rather carefully?

5. They have planned everything...
The bill was passed over a year ago-
but when you read it, you will KNOW
that the Goss appointmet was planned.

I am staring to think we should organize
DU legislative watch-groups and researchers
because their is no doubt in my mind that
they every bit as busy as Hitler was signing
the atrocities he had planned for the
civilians of Europe.

The private contractor section REALLY
pisses me off, because it means the very
same here- as it does in Iraq and other
countries that we are wiping civilians out in.
NO LEGAL ACCOUNTABILITY.

We are in deep shit.
