Citizen Journalist Michael Yon Detained by the ICE
Author and citizen journalist Michael Yon has been through many of the worst places on earth and come out with a smile and a story. He spent years self-embedded with the US military, reporting on events in Iraq and Afghanistan, providing first-hand stories which the mainstream media failed to cover. As a former soldier and a voice of truth Yon is a real American hero. But he didn't get a hero's welcome when he returned to the United States on Sunday. Instead, he found himself in the Seattle airport, detained, interrogated, and ultimately handcuffed by customs agents.
What was Yon's crime? He stood up for his rights as a US citizen. In an incident similar to one which happened last year to a Ron Paul staffer, Yon was taken aside by customs agents and asked a series of questions, many of which seemed to have no bearing on national security. Finally when asked what his personal income was, he refused to answer because he felt it was none of their business. At this point they handcuffed and detained him until he was eventually released by Port Authority police because the TSA had no legitimate grounds to hold him.
On his Facebook page, Yon observed that:
No country has ever treated me so badly. Not China. Not Vietnam. Not Afghanistan.
Definitely not Singapore or India or Nepal or Germany, not Brunei, not Indonesia, or
Malaysia, or Kuwait or Qatar or United Arab Emirates. No county has treated me with the
disrespect can that can be expected from our border bullies.
This incident is a reminder that the problems in our safety and security system go beyond just being ineffective in preventing terrorism. They also include a pattern of abusing the rights of travelers. http://blogcritics.org/politics/article/citizen-journalist-michael-yon-detained-by1
"To Achieve World
Government it is necessary to remove from the minds of men their individualism,
their loyalty to family traditions and national identification" Brock Chisholm - Director of the World Health Organization
"A society whose citizens refuse to see and investigate the facts, who refuse to
believe that their government and their media will routinely lie to them and fabricate a
reality contrary to verifiable facts, is a society that chooses and deserves the Police
State Dictatorship it's going to
get." Ian Williams Goddard
The fact is that "political correctness" is all about creating uniformity. Individualism is one of the biggest obstacles in the way of the New World Order. They want a public that is predictable and conditioned to do as it's told without asking questions.
"The two enemies of the people are criminals and government, so let us tie the second down with the chains of the Constitution so the second will not become the legalized version of the first." Thomas Jefferson
