HR 1955 could affect labor unions as well

October 30, 2007

Labor Unions are especially at risk under this bill’s definition of “VIOLENT RADICALIZATION.” It would take just one fight between union members and their employer, or with police, scabs or strike breakers for a union to be labeled a “violent radical organization with an agenda, terrorists.” Historically unions have violent conflicts fighting for fair wages and better working conditions. Big Corporations can use this vaguely written bill to stop any labor movement. Police need only allege that people in a labor movement “were thinking about using violence.” And Government is quite adept at providing false or purchased testimony.Once this bill passes the U.S. Government and police can eliminate any peaceful/lawful organization in “COINTELPRO” fashion by sending agent provocateurs into targeted lawful organizations and protest demonstrations to cause violence and/or destruction of private property. For instance, often many diverse organizations attend protests against the Iraq War, where violence might take place. Under this bill, all organizations that participate at a demonstration to stop the Iraq War could be charged with terrorism should violence occur, i.e., “for supporting an agenda by violence to coerce and influence the U.S. Government.” After this bill is passed, government and police will be able to eliminate any organization or individual that would dare attend a meeting or demonstration for or against anything.

Under this bill, after the Government charges you with Terrorism for “thinking about or supporting an Agenda that might entail violence, “Patriot Act Asset Forfeiture Provisions” kick in under Title 18 of the federal code. The “federal relation back doctrine” provides the government the power to seize any asset that was used prior to facilitate or support a purpose that would make that asset subject to government forfeiture. After this bill passes peaceful organizations and protestors attending demonstrations may be at great risk. Under the Patriot Act, if you or your organization are criminally charged with terrorism or terrorist conspiracy, Government can forfeit your home if used for meetings as constituting an asset “used” to support a terrorist conspiracy. The government can seize your car if used to transport co-conspirators to meetings or demonstrations that advance an “illegal agenda.” Even if no violence took place. Government can, 20 years in the future, come back to forfeit those assets using only “civil evidence” since the passage of Henry Hide’s forfeiture bill HR 1658 in 2000. And no person or organization need be charged with a crime. Under this new bill just thinking or talking about violence in your home is enough to have your house seized by the government. That includes talking on your phone at your property. Under this new bill, innocent citizens are at risk if they participate in political, religions, labor, any meeting where another participant might attempt to further a lawful agenda though violence. Under the Patriot Act innocent citizens start out guilty having to prove they did not have reason to know the persons that they associated with may commit a terrorist act.
