BUT THE MINISTRY OF TRUTH GRINDS ON



Since no one in either Congress or the Senate bothers to read the legislation they’re passing, this little gem (brought to our attention by HCB) could well produce absolute total chaos in the near future. Seemingly even US citizens who apply for a job will need prior approval from Department of Homeland Security under the terms of the immigation bill passed by the Senate this week.American Civil Liberties Union pointed out that the DHS's Employment Eligibility Verification System (EEVS) is error plagued and if the department makes a mistake in determining work eligibility, there will be virtually no way to challenge the error or recover lost wages due to the bill’s prohibitions on judicial review. Even current employees will need to obtain eligibility approval from the DHS Within 60 days of the Immigration Reform Act of 2006 becoming law. "EEVS would be a financial and bureaucratic nightmare for both businesses and workers," said Timothy Sparapani, ACLU Legislative Counsel. "Under this already flawed program no one would be able to work in the U.S. without DHS approval - creating a ‘No Work List’ similar to the government’s ‘No Fly List.’ And, of course, it would be headed up by yet another Bushie incompetent. For more.

And these would appear to be the top 25 stories of 2007 that we weren’t supposed to hear, and it’s hardly June yet.

The secret word is Totalitarian

A "No Work" list? Although few have yet to voice the idea, the entire country is moving in a direction where the growth of am underground "black" economy may be our only hope. No health care, collapsing education, cultural regression, increasing surveillance, manufactured hate of "illegals", where the hell do we go. Revolution could become of the politics of survival.

You're all under investigation. Don't be so deluded to think you're not.
