You are a domestic terrorist, under the Patriot Act's very vague criteria!

I guess this is nothing new for the Sott team, but it's a nice compilation
at the same time disturbing and funny.

I stopped chuckling when i reached the second part. I don't know what they want, maybe an all-out zombie land. Seeing that cop makes me think of the lad in the original "V" television series. Through ponerization he goes around "legally" terrorizing people, like some hitler youth madness. How many have/will sign up for that? Take your anger out on anyone you feel to.

What I'm mostly interested in is how did such a law get passed?
Ron Paul stated: “The PATRIOT Act Was Written Many, Many Years Before 9/11 [And The Attacks Simply Provided] An Opportunity for Some People To Do What They Wanted To Do”

My guess is that they used the "state of emergency"

Criminal law acquires a constitutive role. It reorganizes the relation between society and state. This change is effected first in the name of a state of emergency, of the obligatory war against terrorism. The September 11 attacks and the Patriot Act, which was originally proposed just several days after these events, legitimize a change in the law that precedes these attacks. This “war” is of indefinite duration. The exceptional procedures passed in the context of the emergency become permanent and the measures taken against particular groups in the population tend to be expanded to cover everyone. If these measures are incorporated into the law, citizens must be prepared to give up their individual and collective freedoms on a long-term basis.

The Nazi Germany was under constant state of exception during its rule.

Anyone who question the authority of such a law would instantly be subjected to the Patriot Act even though it hasn't even been legislated.
So they use the law which isn't the law to get rid of the opposition.
Alternatevly they would lable anyone opposing the Patriot Act as a terrorist, muslim sympathizer, conspiracy theorist or anything else they can think of.
This is obviously well desribed in Controversy of Zion.

The Patriot Act represents the perfect example of this process of incorporating the exception into the law, into the legal order. It is not the only American law that mounts a frontal attack on the rule of law, but in this case the administration openly claims responsibility for its action. First of all, this law has an ideological function. It legitimizes a change in the political system, granting to the executive power the prerogatives of the judiciary.
