I am just amazed constantly how our Civil Rights have disappeared along with our Constitutional Rights in the U.S.!
It seems more and more information is coming out about riding Amtrak Trains and what happens when you do. Amtrak allows complete Police State type events. In fact I have images that come to mind of what happened during the 1930s and 40s in Europe and the Nazi tactics used. We are going the same exact way now.
Last week information came out about TSA searching and groping people after they got off a train in Savannah Georgia and the first hand story about it is here.
Now an Amtrak passenger (Greg Travis) has related what happened to him when riding a train through Nebraska this week.
There is video in the link about it. The police are denying what questions were asked and how long it took for questioning.
From the article:
A Chicago-bound businessman traveling in an Amtrak sleeping car didn't expect to wake up in Omaha. That's where plain clothes Nebraska State Patrol Investigators boarded and knocked on the doors of four first-class passengers.
Greg Travis of Bloomington, Indiana said, "It was a loud knock followed by questions. 'Where are you going! Who did you visit!' They shined a flashlight and I was in my pajamas."
Travis said investigators didn't tell him why they knocked on his door. In a railroad traveler blog he alleged the questioning took an hour. However Lt. Kracl said that's not correct. Investigators talked to the four passengers for about seven minutes each he said. Amtrak stopped in Omaha for less than a half hour and left on schedule.
Greg Travis who it happened to posted on a board about it with a little more information.
What he posted:
I've just spent the last hour being interrogated by the Nebraska State Police who boarded our train, the California Zephyr, at 4AM. I am in a sleeper (Car 0632, room 14) and awoke to a non-uniformed individual banging on my door, again at 4AM.
I was interrogated as to where I had boarded, where I was going, what I was doing, and had my room and my luggage searched as was the experience of all the other sleeping car occupants in my car. When we asked for identification from the officers (who were not uniformed) we were told a) They had jurisdiction and b) they would HAND WRITE individual cards.
My card reads "Richard A. Lutter", Investigator, Investigative Services Division, Nebraska State Patrol. Badge # 253.
When my fellow sleeping car riders asked why they were on the train, they said "To Search For Contraband" and that was the excuse they used to rummage through our rooms and our luggage. The train's conductor was also present and for reasons I do not understand did not throw them off the train.
This is not America.
Besides this DHS is now rolling out X ray trucks throughout the U.S. which is happening now around the U.S.. The government is putting radiation into our bodies for their own enjoyment. It is not about keeping us safe either. I am sick of them using that excuse. It is plain and simple a Police State in all ways! The U.S. Govt is a Gestapo entity now.
Video of X Ray Vans - being deployed throughout the U.S.
Also what about all those Drones being used on U.S. soil to spy on people inside their homes? Is there one person who can justify all this? Will people wake up to the Nazi Police Gestapo state we are in now? Will they keep believing it is to keep us safe?
Here is a news organization that caught the police secretly using/testing a drone.
Talk about Police State - The Michigan Governor wants Emergency Powers, thus all the citizens of Michigan will lose their rights. Question: Is this coming to the state near you? Will all the governors try this, thus we will become a complete dictatorship country? That is what Emergency Powers allow: Dictatorship.
Portion:
The governor of Michigan is trying to force through the legislature a bill that would establish emergency rule, LITERALLY. Gov. Snyder is seeking emergency powers that would enable him to 1) unilaterally declare a “financial emergency”, 2) disincorporate entire municipal governments, 3) dismiss elected officials with no replacement election to follow, 4) seize control of local civil services, 5) hand taxpayer money, services and POWERS to private, for-profit firms.
Gov. Snyder’s plan is the same kind of flagrantly undemocratic “emergency rule” used by military dictators to oppose any semblance of democratic opposition to their policies. While no one expects Gov. Snyder will be rounding up dissidents any time soon, the fight in Michigan is NOT about unions; the governor is attempting to wrest from the hands of every citizen of the state of Michigan, the right to determine who governs at the consent of the governed.
His plan declares an immediate end (with no projected restoration) to the founding principle of our democracy: that public officials may govern ONLY at the consent of the governed.
OH one more thing to add - The Executive Order Signed by Obama 2 days ago - Indefinite Detainment of Prisoners even if they are Found NOT GUILTY by a Jury! Most extensive dictatorial powers ever signed by a President! I posted: PLEASE GIVE ME BUSH BACK and I despised Bush!
Yep that means you and me too, due to the Patriot Act we can be detained forever even if a jury finds us not guilty, if the government feels we are a threat. I wonder if they feel those who blog about the excessive Police state we are in are a threat?

Time to resist the gestapo as per the U.S. Constitution! PERIOD!!
ReplyDeleteTime to put foil in those car windows, and hope your doors are metal.
ReplyDeleteI have nothing to hide, and I want to be safe, so I approve of these covert roving backscatter vans to detect weapons.
ReplyDeleteI know that since the TSA has done such a great job at airports, and are now moving into train stations, the terrorists will just change their tactics and start using cars and trucks on our roads to terrorize us.
And as soon as we get enough of these Xray trucks out there to stop these terrorists, they will move into using bombs in backpacks and shopping bags in our malls, supermarkets and other public places, and I just hope that the TSA will then have mini Xray devices that can fit into a backpack, and have hundreds of thousands of agents everywhere, Xraying everyone and everything, so we can continue to be safe.
These activities are primarily used to train putative gestapo agents. More to come...

ReplyDeleteI have my God given right to privacy and I couldn't care less about safety. The world isn't safe. It never was. It never will be. And to trot it out yet again, those who would sacrifice liberty for a little security deserve neither and will lose both.
But then you're a good, loving little troll-slave, aren't you?
Yes, Sherrie, a blogger like you is scary, scary stuff... Someone is so terrified they sent a troll to nip at your ankles - probably on your tax dollar.
ReplyDeleteWe are all under attack, some of us just don't realize it yet. A lovely young woman from the Gulf just died of corexit poisoning, yet her friends and family don't understand they need to MOVE. If they want to live, they have to MOVE. I want to see them recover, and they are going to die if they stay where they poisoning continues. The first permit to begin drilling again was given to BP. What more do these people need to see? They need to LEAVE, or they will die.
So with all these X ray machines and drones and searches---just HOW MANY terrorists have they caught?
ReplyDeleteIncredible that no one asks WHY is this going on? NO ONE FIGHTS it. The male in this country have become neutered eunuchs. They just roll over and submit. No questions, no refusal no self-defense. Repugnant.
ReplyDeleteToo little too late from US citizens.
ReplyDeleteThe police state is all around you...while you shit on Sheen, fawn over Beiber, and gag on Gaga. I, like Einstein, left before it came to this...
Why, because I knew the general populace are stupid, spoiled, drugged up, drunk, pussies, and would never lift a finger to actually defend themselves from an obviously fascist totalitarian police state.
The nations founders are collectively ashamed of the damage you've done to the gift you were given. A constitutionally controlled republic....not a democracy you dribbling idiots!

"So with all these X ray machines and drones and searches---just HOW MANY terrorists have they caught? "
ReplyDeleteHundreds... maybe thousands.
Of course, the facts and details must be kept secret, for national security purposes, you understand.
from your bio you may want to research #anonymous if you dont already know. you will see why when you find them!btw great post!
ReplyDeleteWhy didn't the traveler just say, "Fuck no! I don't consent to you searching my luggage and room. Go get a warrant, asshole!" Instead, we hear this story how he consented and now he is cursing how we live in a police state. If you don't stand up to the police state, expect more of this.
ReplyDeleteproblem is you elect these people so bend over and enjoy it
