View Full Version : Two Minute Patriot Act read through
Slowhand

This is a quick summary/analysis I did for my government class. Requirements were only that it had to be a page long, so I apologize if it's a little bit brief, but I think that it's not a bad read for gaining comprehension of what the Patriot Act is in a very small nutshell; a lot of people get stuck at the wiretapping and enhanced surveillanced measures, and are completely unaware of the other things that the Patriot Act does. Excuse the hastily thrown together analysis of the public's opinion: it had to be done, and I threw it together to complete the asssignment:
The USA Patriot Act
What is it?
The USA Patriot act is actually an acronym which stands for “Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism.” It was introduced in the 1st session of the 107th Congress of the United States of America on October 24, 2001 as H.R. 3162.
Why was it introduced?
The USA Patriot act was introduced as a direct response to the terrorist attacks carried out by Islamic extremists on the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, New York on September 11, 2001. It was designed as a bill to hinder the advancement of terroristic ideals and motives throughout the US and the world, and to stop further terrorists attacks on US soil.
How does it work?
The Patriot Act was actually a series of acts, bills, and decrees that were all designed to form a cohesive layer of protection against terrorist attacks. The acts/bills/decrees fall into several subsections outlined in the bill, as listed at htpp://epic.org: Enhancing domestic security against terrorism, Enhanced Surveillance Procedures (wiretapping etc.), International Money Laundering Abatement, Protecting the Border, Removing Obstacles to Investigating Terrorism, Providing for Victims of Terrorism, Increased Intelligence Sharing, Strengthening of Laws Against Terrorism, and Improved General Intelligence.
What was the public’s reaction?
Public reaction was very negative to the Patriot Act. Many Americans believe it to be an unconstitutional violation of their rights as citizens of this country and that it should be repealed immediately. Others believe that the only reason you would have to fear the Patriot Act is if you had something to hide, and therefore the Act should remain in place. Both sides of the argument bring up valid points, yet both have their faults as well.
Those who say that the Patriot Act is an unconstitutional violation of their rights do have some bit of ground to stand on according to the Bill of Rights. The Fourth Amendment states that “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.” It is fairly clear that Title II of the Patriot Act is in direct violation of the 4th amendment as no warrants need be issued to institute a wiretap or other “enhanced” surveillance technology.
However, those that disagree with Title II’s validity must also realize that it is only one small piece of the puzzle that is the Patriot Act. The whole of the Patriot Act is much larger than just Title II. Take for instance Title VII which focuses on the increased sharing of intelligence between US intelligence firms (i.e. FBI, CIA, DHS). Some may argue that if intelligence had been shared to the extent that it is today between the various intelligence offices in this country, 9/11 could have been prevented entirely. This portion alone provides a large amount of security for this country, something that didn’t exist before 9/11. In another example, we take Title III which focuses on International Counter Money Laundering. This section of the Patriot Act focuses on tracking offshore banking accounts through which terrorist organizations finance their operations. By tracking the flow of money, the intelligence bureaus of the US can find out not just who is carrying out the operations, but who is funding them, and where they’re being funded from, all of which is vital to preventing attacks.
The Patriot Act is bigger than Title II. Perhaps Title II is entitled on shaky ground; however, I see no reason to repeal an entire bill worth of quality intelligence acts in the name of one small piece to the puzzle. The time and resources lost restructuring the Patriot Act could prove to be fatal. I challenge the public to look at the whole of the Patriot Act, and not just the Patriot Act (Title II) that is presented to them by the media.

and as far as 911 goes,i think most of us know what really happpened.
everything that happens big is designed to happen the way for one reason or another.the reason that you get to hear isn't always the correct one.
yes sometimes we as a nation are straight up lied to and convinced to beleive something as being true when false.

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!?! Do you realize the amount of intellegence gathered against threatening sources that has led to the termination of acts carried out since this plan was put into effect?
As for your second statement, ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!?! Your statement leads me to believe that you don't think a group of Islamic terrorists, members of Al Qeida, backed by Osama Bin Laden and the Taliban, acted against the people of the United States to kill the people that were killed on September 11th for the sole purpose of inflicting terror among the USA and the rest of the world. If you do think this way, then you must also not think there's an existing threat. Listen, bro, these guys are going out of their way to show you their intentions. That's the whole purpose of terrorism... to inflict terror. Even Helen Keller would be albe to see what happened on 9/11 AND what is currently happening in the world today.

I don't remember what you're referring to, and that also seems to bit too outlandish for me to have posted that claiming that as proof. If I MAY have posted a link to that farce, it was overlooked while I was copying and pasting, and I surely did not argue that point out with you. A while back I posted numerous credible physicists, geologists, chemists, administrative figures, construction workers, eye-witness spectators, AND experienced demolition experts that all testified against the official report.

The onion is a farcical news outlet where fake news is broadcast every day in an extremely satirical manner, why would a terrorist sit in on a nightly news panel and admit to and reveal the date of a terrorist attack?

Well, for starters, his accent varies throughout the video, and its clearly fake, drops it very often. A simply done analysis of the guy's mannerisms and moth movements clearly tells you this. He talks with an american accent in half of the video!! I was trying to pick out 3 or 4 times and mark down the time/second that it happened, but he literally loses his accent for seconds at a time for half of the video. The second half of the video is really bad, the guy is clearly not Arab.

Now that shit is funny.
The purpose of an argument is to uncover a particular truth, or stepping stone to the truth, that brings us closer to understanding the concept at hand. Sometimes contradictions in arguments happen, and they're not abnormal, especially in this environment. That contradiction was pretty stupid of me, I'll admit, but I was reading a website about Mensa and I came across something about truck drivers. I don't want to take away from my point though, contradictions are healthy in an argument. Only when a pissing contest is arranged and egos are on the line do contradictions in arguments matter too much, I think.

It is common sense to see that all those people are Mexicans standing at the gas station, that is easily agreeable. The difference is you readily assumed that these people were illegal immigrants as well as mexicans.

Oh okay, I'm sorry... Zara is allowed to exercise racial profiling... I mean, that's really the only way you can win the argument, so it's a requirement for you to come to that conclusion. :rolleyes:
you do see how ridiculous this is, don't you? You accuse forum members of racial profiling, but when you do it, it's perfectly fine. That is precisely what is happening here.

No, actually, I disagree with most of what Zara says and agree with a lot of what you post. I happened to come across a post or two where you were touting Mensa as a proof of your intelligence one night. No harm, no foul, I too am a member.

I'm not justifying my racial profiling, I'm saying I'm not racial profiling at all when I can see that a guy is clearly acting the part of an Arab in a costume on a farcical, satirical news show.

How can I loose an argument that I don't give a shit about? You just stated that his face structure was a hint you had he wasn't an arab? What exactly would that be, Zara? Would that be racial profiling? You honestly, have no fucking idea if he is an arab or not, you assume he is not, however you cannot know if he is, or if he isn't, that is complete fact. Yet, you don't see it this way, since it's a fake news story, you can racial profile him.
Here are the facts
You don't know if he is or is not an arab, it's impossible for you to know this by a picture and dialog. I'm a methodist, can you tell that by looking at my photo?
You are racial profiling because you have no idea outside of your own personal opinions.

I did a little research, mainly because the name of the guy in the video kind of rung a bell.
The book being discussed in the video is not real, fabricated.
The author is in fact not a real author. William Gerard, the "author" does not exist, and if he does, he definitely did not write "The truth about September 11th" like he said he did in the video.
Omar Al-Farouq (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/5379604.stm) , Or the real Omar Al-Farouq, a real Al-Qaeda operative was killed in Basra, September 25 2006, by British Forces.
The picture of the real Omar Al-Farouq is there on the link in blue.
He looks absolutely nothing like the guy in the video, I'm pretty sure it's safe to say it was, in fact, not him.
Moreover, Al-Farouq died 2 and a half years ago. When did this video get posted? When did the 9/11 truth movement become more popular?
I don't know who the guy in that video is, but I'm sure he's not really Omar Al-Farouq.
The likelihood that they actually contracted an arab individual to play the part of 2 and a half years passed Al-qaeda operative is slim to none. Furthermore the evidence to support my claim is clearly apparent and should be able to be deciphered by any normal rational human being.
The difference here, is, you automatically assumed that those people you saw were illegal immigrants, merely because they outwardly appeared to be of Mexican descent, and went so far as to send a letter to the city of arlington to shoo them away for you. That, is racism (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racism) , what I did can be seen by many as merely a means of analysis. Can you imagine how many law suits the city would have been slapped with? Your line of reasoning is one that mirrors that of a person who lacks a fundamental understanding of human nature and an appreciation for the complexity of humanity as a whole. I merely said the guy's not an Arab, and that's pretty evident to most any person of sense.
You changing your argument in accusation of racism on my behalf to one of racial profiling is a logical admittance to your clear practice of racism in that you made the distinction between racism/xenophobia and racial profiling which does not logically follow, but only to make your argument appear stronger.
This is now not the case.
Racial Profiling (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racial_profiling) is completely from racism and xenophobia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenophobia) .
Racial profiling is a means by which ethnic and racial characteristics are the sole measure of determining whether or not an individual would be more inclined to commit a certain illegal act or particular crime.
I was doing the exact opposite. Something everyone does when they look at any person. The fact that you're arguing about this coming from the onion is absolutely hilarious, sir. Further such masquerading of your inability to comprehend simple logical clarification only further makes your inability to concede and admit that you're wrong here more evident and also takes this argument to a whole new level of stupidity.

Further such masquerading of your inability to comprehend simple logical clarification only further makes your inability to concede and admit that you're wrong here more evident and also takes this argument to a whole new level of stupidity.
You intentionally completely missed the point that I made crystal clear. I'm talking about the actor, the guy in the video. The actual guy they are making the satire of is obviously of no relation to my argument, We both know he is not the guy in the skit. We're talking about the actor, so everything in red is your attempt to change the subject. You have said he is not arab, althought you have no idea who the actor is, or what his genetic makeup is, you frankly don't know anything about him, but you racially profiled him, you even used his facial structure as evidence. It's clear as day you're attempting to tell me that actor is not an arab... but you can't possibly know the answer to that. The actual guy they are making fun of has absolutely no place in this argument at all, whatsoever, you are diverting attention from the argument you already understand but refuse to answer. You're trying to take the point of this conversation and run right out of the room with it. We have already established a) I know what the onion is. b) I understand this is a satirical skit and c) You're using the physical appearance of an actor to establish his race.
The underlined portions of your statement establish that you are citing a 'likelihood' that he is not arab, which is a confession on your part that you do not know his race, however the point of this argument is you're racially profiling. You just stated you don't know if he is an arab, when previously and throughout this entire argument you have said he is not, and are attemping to defend it.
Now, anyone with any intelligence can see you've lost this argument.
Also, I might add that the reason this argument as continued as long as it has, is because you're pandering a ridiculous attempt to get out of something you know damn well you did. You're so aggressive towards me because you know you've been caught and you just can't be wrong, it's not possible for Zara to be wrong. If this whole dialog was as stupid as you claim it to be, I would hardly think you would dedicate so much of your time to it.. I don't think you're fooling anyone with that line.
But, I digress to the original question you failed to answer.
Can you tell his race/religion by his photograph/voice.

This is simply a means of logical analysis, not racial profiling. Racial profiling, by definition is the act of using those outward physical characteristics to determine a person's race in order to further determine whether or not that person is more apt to COMMIT A CERTAIN CRIME.
What I did is clearly not that.

Yes, it's absolutely obvious. That is not racial profiling because I did not discuss whether or not he was more apt to commit a particular crime or offense.
The point of this argument was you accusing me of RACISM, not racial profiling. You changing your argument from an accusation of racism to one of racial profiling can and will be tendered as your concession in this argument.

Here's the original quote, and I will dissect the shit out of it. You are clearly wrong on every aspect of this, I will prove it.
you're a fucking racist.
This is clearly not the case.
Remember when I said the illegal immigrants at the local gas station were mexicans.. and you said "How do you know they are mexicans?"
Wrong.
You said the MEXICANS at the local gas station were ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS.
To which I replied, "How do you know they're illegal immigrants?"
To which you (and a host of other board members) replied "Because they are mexican, anyone can tell they're illegal because they are mexican"
Racism, clear and concise. Assuming these people were illegal based on their outward appearance is racial profiling, racism, and xenophobia all wrapped up into one neat little package of intolerance.

As for your second statement, ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!?! Your statement leads me to believe that you don't think a group of Islamic terrorists, members of Al Qeida, backed by Osama Bin Laden and the Taliban, acted against the people of the United States to kill the people that were killed on September 11th for the sole purpose of inflicting terror among the USA and the rest of the world. If you do think this way, then you must also not think there's an existing threat. Listen, bro, these guys are going out of their way to show you their intentions. That's the whole purpose of terrorism... to inflict terror. Even Helen Keller would be albe to see what happened on 9/11 AND what is currently happening in the world today.
i beleive it was a false flag attack,a psychological attack on the american people by our own goverment.
i would like to believe that its all the way it was reported to be,but the evidence all shows otherwise.
why a falseflag attack? "problem,action,solution".
2 110 story buildings drop at free fall speed?10 SECONDS? in there own footprints?
then building 7 drops freefall style again in its own footprint?watch the videos of building 7 again.its an obvious pull.just like silverstein said.
no footage of the pentigon getting hit?one of the most secured buildings in america?
fighter jets on that asap?jell no the east coast was SHIT OUT OF LUCK.suspicous?
it goes on and on
ex president of italy along with thousands of others have come out calling it the way it is.a false flag manouver.building 7 was reported to have fallen already by the bbc when in the video footage of the reporter saying so,building 7 is standing in plain veiw right behind her.
numerous evidence shows alot more than 19 middle eastern hijackers flying planes into buildings that day.
they find one of the hijackers wallet laying on the sidewalk of one of the towers,unscathed? get real.this is what was reported to us.the american people where lied to my freind.
where is osama binladen now?lol the usa can find a mite on a chickens ass somewhere in the antartic but we still don't have binladen.
again i would love to believe what our media and elected officials tell us but damn.no politicians will even debate the issue of 911 with anyone asking the important questions.
most americans can't seem to open there own minds and consider something other than what there told.
they show there ignorance with little statements like "tin voil hats" "this guys punctuation"
i hope that one day we get the real answer for september 11,2001
the families of those killed deserve to have a full honest explanation of what happened and why they're family members where killed.
i have great respect for the families.and whoever is reponsible for 9/11 wether middle eastern hijackers or the usa goverment or ... i hope the truth comes out and justice be served in the stricktest of ways.

You can't use "always" in this scenario because we usually have an accident with the ground, not a super reinforced building, and we usually are trying to AVOID said ground, not ram it, and furthermore, we're usually not seeing crashes from that type of speed.
You are taking results from different speeds, different impact sites, and different pilot intentions, and expecting the end results to be the same.

There should have been large sections of that plane laying around, you and I both know that.

Please find me an instance where this has happened, regardless of the circumstance.

Furthermore, there WERE pieces of the plane, as I have posted here previously.

You mean someone used a star wars style space laser in orbit to knock the towers down?
That's the kind of bullshit "evidence" you posted last time we had this discussion. That, along with a bunch of links that didn't work and quotes from people that have absoltuley no idea about how a building should or would collapse. Here is an example:
"I'm the professor of foreign studies at (FILL IN THE BLANK) university and I say the buildings LOOK LIKE they were blown up with explosives..."
THAT'S the kind of crap you posted as "proof".
Then when I called your ass out on it you had nothing to say. You just ignored me.
It was impossible for the WTC buildings to fall the way they did. Watch any other building fall from instability. Then watch a building fall from a controlled demolition. Then watch the WTC towers fall. Why would all the major financial institutions in the WTC back their records up to offices in NJ in the weeks before? Now, do I think there's some world wide conspiracy? No. I think it was done to give us an excuse to hit an oil rich nation in the middle east, by a few folks who want to secure oil production away from OPEC.

Controlled demolitions fall from the bottom down. The towers fell from the top down. Everyone ever interviewed in that business has laughed out loud at the possibility that this was a controlled demolition.
It was impossible for the WTC buildings to fall the way they did. Watch any other building fall from instability. Then watch a building fall from a controlled demolition. Then watch the WTC towers fall. Why would all the major financial institutions in the WTC back their records up to offices in NJ in the weeks before? Now, do I think there's some world wide conspiracy? No. I think it was done to give us an excuse to hit an oil rich nation in the middle east, by a few folks who want to secure oil production away from OPEC.
Consider me corrected, then. Thanks.

Somebody could have taken that building down like playing a video game, deciding when and where to detonate which charges, strategically and methodically coercing simple small minds like yours into believing that this happened by one airplane hitting it in the top half.
I'll counter you logic by asking why the rest of the buildings, the part under the impact sites,also fell down. I'm talking about the bottom 1/2-3/4 of both buildings. The part under where the planes hit.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that those planes couldn't have provided enough destruction to bring those buildings down the way they came.
It also doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that those buildings fell into themselves, as a result of the crushing weight of the entire building falling on the inner support structure, while the outside stayed largely intact until the whole things actually started to come down--way too fast, I might note here, to have been cased only by the planes, again.

This is true. People associate size with mass and weight. Planes don't have much of either. They will come apart like balsa wood if they hit something.
The aluminum skin on the wings is only thousandths of an inch thick. The floor beams have pads all along the span where weight has been taken out of them.
Back in my days of aircraft machining one of the things we would do is take a lot of the parts and chemically mill them. That sounds like an interesting mix of words but it was a simple process. You'd take the parts (floor beams, wing skins) and dip them in a thick plastic sheeting. Then you would use a pattern to cut out the shape of any areas where you could stand to lose weight while keeping the structural properties of the part functional. On a wing skin you would leave the mounting pads and cut out large sections of the inside of the skin. You would have these pads along the inside that were used to mount the skin. The pads would have the plastic masking material still on them. Once all the patterns were cut out on the part it would go into a huge vat of acid. The acid would eat away any part of the aluminum not covered by the masking material. A lot of the skins we did were left with about .050" of thickness or so.
Weight reduction is one of the reasons the parts were so expensive, it was fairly labor intensive. One of the Boeing floor beams was worth something like $18K when finished.

You never mentioned commercial airliner or any specifics :confused:
You stated, with much surety, that an airplane has "NEVER" disentegrated on impact and then challenged the board to prove you wrong regardless of the circumstance.
I showed, with video and still photo proof, that you are wrong.
Is it opposite day or something? Did you mean to type "SUCCEED" :confused:
As for your size argument, lets look at kinetic energy.
Ek = 1/2m*v^2
F4 Phantom in the video
Mass: 30,328 lbs (empty) - 13,756 kg
Velocity: 500 mph - 223.5 m/s
Ek = 343,571,575.5 Joules
Boeing 767
Mass: 127,520 lbs (empty) - 57,840 kg
Velocity: V
V = SQRT((2*Ek)/m)) = 108 m/s = 241 mph.
At just around half of of it's average cruising speed (528mph) the 757 would have just as much kinetic energy as the F4... which as you saw, completey disentegrated on impact.
The 757 that hit the Pentagon was traveling at 345mph (154.2 m/s) according to the flight data recorder.
That would give it 687649348.8 Joules at impact; or 200% of the kinetic energy the F4 had at impact... which again, was completely destroyed.
Before you ask, the flight data recorders are made with hardened steel and/or titanium casings with shock and thermal insulating blocks inside... not aluminum.

That is not a jumbo-jet commercial airliner, sir. Far from it, in fact.
Your straw man would actually make sense if and only if the object that the plane hit was actually as solid as the one in your little straw man video.
Whatever hit the pentagon went inside, and through more walls on the other side of the outer structural layers. There was a 16' wide hole left in the outer facade, and many more holes inside where the object continued on its path through reinforced concrete, among other things.
The plane in your straw man video hit a wall that most certainly did not move.
Logic continues to escape you.
MY arguments are weak and you're telling me a commercial plane that was going under the speed of sound disintegrated on impact? There are no surveillance videos available, which would, beyond a shadow of a doubt, prove that a plane hit the pentagon. This is true even in light of the fact that there was ~15 surveillance cameras, from several businesses, that were pointed at the aircraft's trajectory, or flight path. The FBI and the powers that be had all of them confiscated. Why?
I'd like you to show me one instance, a single incident whereby a commercial airliner completely vaporizes on impact.

My arguments are weak and you're telling me a plane that was going under the speed of sound disintegrated on impact? There are no surveillance videos available, which would, beyond a shadow of a doubt, prove that a plane hit the pentagon. This is true even in light of the fact that there was ~15 surveillance cameras, from several businesses, that were pointed at the aircraft's trajectory, or flight path. The FBI and the powers that be had all of them confiscated. Why?
I'd like you to show me one instance, a single incident whereby a commercial airliner completely vaporizes on impact.
Ad hominem, ad hominem, ad hominem.
Are you capable of arguing logically, like an adult should be able?
you absolutely, completely, and totally ignored the video I just posted. where an F4 traveling at the same speed, and also somewhat less a speed, was completely atomized. Why did you completely ignore that?

Reread prior post, i edited it a little.
Because it is irrelevant
It is a straw man
We are talking about commercial airliners.
JUMBO jets.

This is you not being respectful, and childish. Take note of this. I'm not even going to give this tantrum the time of day, lets keep you on topic.
Continuing on without your diversion of the topic.
Here is your vaporized aircraft parts from the WTC collision.
We have the following photos-more hard evidence-of 767 wreckage at the World Trade Center. The windows on the piece of fuselage are the shape of 767 windows:
http://www.questionsquestions.net/WTC/WTC767images/fuselage.jpghttp://www.questionsquestions.net/WTC/WTC767images/landinggear.jpg
The no-planers have claimed the above piece of fuselage is planted evidence because it is not burned. However, the crumpled right end does look burnt. Plus in the second hit debris can be seen exiting the towers on the leading edge of the fireball, which would indicate that those pieces might not have endured enough time in the flames to become blackened. We haven't heard from someone who actually has forensic experience whether there is any indication of fraud here. And that is also true for the rest of the planted evidence claims.The Naudet video shows parts of a jet engine on the street. Visible in the video but not in these freeze frames are wisps of smoke coming off of the debris, still hot from the impact:

I sincerely hope that myself, and the rest of the people in this forum can witness you exercise some modesty, and humanity in apologizing for that mistake, whether it was your misspeaking, a typo, or any other excuse and we can continue to address the rest of your statements.
I've noticed your have just made an attempt to again divert this argument by requesting only pictures of the tail of the plane. This request by yourself is reinforcing your non-acknowledgment of the previous statement being incorrect, now pieces of the plane are not sufficient, now you must have the tail section. Please, review what I have posted and give us an apology for your incorrect statement quoted above to show us you are capable of a respectful argument.

Ordinarily I’d never respond to you. Paranoia clouds what little reasoning you have – making you nothing more than an easily dismissible crackpot with a predilection for conspiracy theories. You’re just another tin foil wearing loon constantly looking over your shoulder for the black helicopters that somehow manage to stay just out of sight. You’re a waste of my time….
But shit... this is just too damn easy.

So, you're admitting the 'plane' that crashed into that hole there just vaporized on impact, too, correct? Admittedly, you say that the irony that 2 planes, the first two in history, mind you, completely disappeared on impact raises no questions in your mind? Surely they would have seeked to reconstruct the pieces of the plane in order to conduct a necessary and routine thorough investigation.
The fact that the nearly indestructible twin towers, on the same day, within minutes of eachother, collapsed at freefall speed raises no further questions to you? Nothing to wonder about when shown logically invalid facts and documented evidence of what happened that day? Do you believe everything they tell you? Do you just refuse to seek the truth? Blind conformism? Groupthink?
Do you not see the pattern here?

everything that happens big is designed to happen the way for one reason or another.the reason that you get to hear isn't always the correct one.
yes sometimes we as a nation are straight up lied to and convinced to beleive something as being true when false.
