Brannon Howse: July 21, 2010

Topic One: How Many Americans are targeted for assassination? Deputy White House national security adviser for homeland security and counterterrorism has suggested that "dozens" of Americans have been targeted. This sounds so extreme that Brannon was not even sure he should cover the topic but then he found a video of an MSNBC host interviewing Glenn Greenwald who has written an article for salon.com on this topic. MSNBC and salon.com are not known for being conservative so when they covered this topic we were a bit surprised. Brannon plays a portion of the MSNBC interview. Brennan declares that the war they are waging is all over the world; including America. This is the same Brennan that said that we are not a war with Islam nor terrorism and that Jihad is a legitimate part of Islam. Really? Then who is the government looking to assassinate? What about due process, a court of law, innocent until proven guilty? The Department of Homeland Security has already labeled those that are pro-life; interested in end time prophecy and those concerned about national sovereignty as being extremists. The Pentagon had a test, according to foxnews.com, that declared protestors as low level terrorists. So should Americans be concerned that the government may be out to assassinate Americans that "are trying to carry out attacks against U.S. interests."? What does that mean? If we oppose the government takeover of healthcare; the implantation of cultural Marxism; social justice and hate-crime legislation does that mean someone is attacking U.S. interests? What happen to the rule of law? Topic Two: Legal and religious experts are worried about President Obama and Hillary Clinton using the words "freedom of worship" instead of "freedom of religion". How does freedom of worship and not freedom of religion actually mean the elimination of numerous freedoms? As we have seen with topic one; topic two also involves the tweaking of terms in order to change public policy and the purpose of the law. Topic Three: ABC News reports that there are a growing number of Americans being prosecuted for videotaping the police. Why should the police care if they are video-taped in a public setting? How might the video-taping of police and federal authorities actually protect Americans from tyranny? Topic Four: We take your calls.
