BIG BRO can't catch any terrists..so they go after law abiding Citi-zens..which is most of us<br><br>Bizarro planet<br><br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/march2006/070306borrowedmoney.htm">www.prisonplanet.com/arti...dmoney.htm</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br>"Borrowed Some Money? You May Be With Al-Qaeda<br>Another victim of Homeland Security financial snoops<br><br>Last week’s story about a retired Texas school teacher who came under Homeland Security’s microscope for paying off a $6,522 credit card debt has been trumped by a similar case involving an amount of just $650.<br><br>Previously, Walter Soehnge made national headlines when he attempted to pay off debt on his MasterCard. The payment was rejected and automatically triggered an investigation by Homeland Security.<br><br>Now we have the story of Edie Booth, a community college professor in East Texas.<br><br>Trying to pay off her February credit card bill, Booth found her funds short and so asked to borrow $650 from her sister to avoid an interest overcharge of $140.<br><br>Booth made a $3,500 payment from her own account and then sent the other $650 with permission from her sister’s electronic account.<br><br>I watched the status of these two payments on line, since I am not the 'trusting' type, when it comes either to banks, credit card companies, OR government,” says Booth.<br><br>“The $650 was pending one day and then showed funded the next. All seemed fine. However, I continued to check the status on-line for the next 5 days.<br><br>“On the 6th day I found the extra $650 payment CANCELLED.”<br><br>Upon calling the credit card company, Booth was told that Homeland Security would not allow her to make two payments from two different sources in the same day.<br><br><br><br>The very individuals that used 9/11 to force layer upon layer of increased state surveillance and big government bureaucracy upon us are the ones in business with Osama Bin Laden and Al-Qaeda. And yet it is law-abiding citizens that get hassled for the simple desire to pay off some debt.<br><br>Homeland Security targets toy store owners, t-shirt sellers and kindergartners while hiring former East German Stasi heads to spy on Americans and recruiting tattle-tale squads under ‘Highway Watch’ – a program that encourages truckers, toll takers, road crews and bus drivers to watch their fellow citizens and report suspicious activity.<br><br>It seems painfully obvious that the people trying to take away our freedoms are not wearing turbans and shouting Allah Akbar, but that the enemy is within the gates."<br><br> <p></p><i></i>
