Ridge Will Model Homeland Security Force
On WWII German SS

The Office of Homeland Security will initially
be run by former Pennsylvania Governor Tom Ridge.
It should be noted that Ridge got in trouble a
few years ago for praising the efficiency of the
Third Reich's civilian administration. Ridge also
spoke highly of Mussolini's ability to keep the
Italian trains running on time.

The Office of Homeland Security will operate
three divisions. One will be a plain-clothes
division similar to the FBI, which will be called
the State Security Division (SSD). Ironically SSD
is the same acronym as the former East German
Secret Police, the Stasi.

The second division of the Office of Homeland
Security will be a smaller uniformed division,
which currently remains nameless. It will act as
a de facto State Political Police. Ridge wants
the uniforms of this State Political Police
division to be modeled on existing state trooper
uniforms - except done in black, similar in
appearance to the uniforms of the German SS in
the Second World War.

(The purpose of a State Political Police is to
evaluate and arrest individuals promulgating
media determined to be against the national
interest. This would include authors, publishers,
and broadcasters of "terrorist" information, or
information that would "provide aid and comfort
to terrorists.")

The third division of the Office of Homeland
Security will be called the Office of the United
States Air Marshals (Air Marshal Services), which
federalizes interstate travel security, and will
most likely require government-provided "internal
passports" for citizens to travel across State
lines in airplanes or trains.

This new agency will also operate "with extralegal
authority." They will then be able to act under
suspension of habeus corpus and under suspension
of the right against self-incrimination, the
Fifth Amendment privilege, and also the Fourth
Amendment privilege against unlawful search and
seizure.

That power will be in their charter -- they can
act in an extra-legal authority, in certain
cases, where the security of the "homeland" is
"threatened", as determined by their administrator.

The Bush Administration is essentially laying the
foundation for a whole new classification of law.
That's why, in his speech, Bush purposely never
used the words "national security." He did this
deliberately so as not to confuse the two.

This new agency will require a new classification
of law that will most likely be called "Homeland
Security Law."

In order to take the concept of "illegal" covert
activity away, this will lay the foundation for a
whole new separate body of law that will be parallel
to, but above, the National Security Acts, which
have been reduced in scope and severity by numerous
court challenges.

The new Office of Homeland Security helicopters will
be painted a matte black and have digitized red
lettering that says "State Security", dark tinted
windows, numerous surveillance and communications
aerials and dishes and a searchlight on the front.
