Joe Lieberman
terjemahan sebagiannya di bawah ini:
Salah seorang yang merendahkan kemerdekaan di Amerika adalah Joseph Lieberman.
Sejak 9/11, Senator dari Connecticut ini mencoba memberlakukan serangkaian peraturan atas nama perang global melawan teror “global war on terror” yang mengikis hak2 konstitusi.
Jika Amerika Serikat terlihat seb negara polisi, Senator Lieberman punya partisipasi besar.Bulan October 2001, tepat satu bulan setelah 9/11, Lieberman mengajukan undang2 S. 1534, yang membentuk Department of Homeland Security (http://dissidentvoice.org/2010/01/the-merchants-of-fear-israel%E2%80%99s-profiting-from-homeland-insecurity/). Sejak itu menjadi kekuatan utama dibalik draconian legislation seperti Protect America Act (http://www.ontheissues.org/2008/Joseph_Lieberman_Homeland_Security.htm) of 2007, Interogasi, penahanan dll (the Enemy Belligerent, Interrogation, Detention, and Prosecution Act (http://dissidentvoice.org/2010/03/the-mccain-lieberman-police-state-act/) of 2010), dll dan sekarang senator tsb ingin mengajukan rencana mematikan Internet.
Menurut undang2 yg diajukannya, keseluruhan Internet global akan diklaim sebagai Aset Nasional negara Amerika Serikat. Jika kongres meloloskan undang2 tsb, Presiden diberikan kekuatan untuk mematikan Internet ketika dianggap terjadi “national cyber-emergency.”
Pendukung legislasi ini berpendapat ini perlu untuk mencegah “cyber 9/11” – mitos lain dari fear mongers yang membawa kita cerita2 menakut2i ttg “Iraqi WMD” dan ttg “rudal2 Iranian.”
Perhatian Lieberman ini tidak baru, komite Keamanan nasional tempat Lieberman duduk, mengeluarkan laporan di tahun 2008 berjudul “Violent Islamist Extremism, The Internet, and the Homegrown Terrorist Threat.” Laporan tsb mengklaim kelompok seperti al-Qaeda menggunakan Internet untuk mendoktrin dan merekrut dan berkomunikasi.

Guess Who Wants to Kill the Internet? (http://www.opinion-maker.org/2010/07/guess-who-wants-to-kill-the-internet/)

It would be hard to think of anyone who has done more to undermine American freedoms than Joseph Lieberman.
Since 9/11, the Independent senator from Connecticut has introduced a raft of legislation in the name of the “global war on terror” which has steadily eroded constitutional rights. If the United States looks increasingly like a police state (http://www.house.gov/paul/congrec/congrec2002/cr062702.htm), Senator Lieberman has to take much of the credit for it.
On October 11, 2001, exactly one month after 9/11, Lieberman introduced S. 1534, a bill to establish a Department of Homeland Security (http://dissidentvoice.org/2010/01/the-merchants-of-fear-israel%E2%80%99s-profiting-from-homeland-insecurity/). Since then, he has been the main mover behind such draconian legislation as the Protect America Act (http://www.ontheissues.org/2008/Joseph_Lieberman_Homeland_Security.htm) of 2007, the Enemy Belligerent, Interrogation, Detention, and Prosecution Act (http://dissidentvoice.org/2010/03/the-mccain-lieberman-police-state-act/) of 2010, and the proposed (http://www.examiner.com/x-9462-LA-Nonpartisan-Examiner%7Ey2010m5d13-Joe-Liebermans-Fascist-agenda-to-strip-Americans-of-their-Constitutional-Rights) Terrorist Expatriation Act, which would revoke the citizenship of Americans suspected of terrorism. And now the senator from Connecticut wants to kill the Internet (http://news.antiwar.com/2010/06/18/senate-bill-would-give-obama-power-to-shut-down-internet/).
According to the bill he recently proposed in the Senate, the entire global internet is to be claimed as a “national asset” of the United States. If Congress passes the bill, the US President would be given the power to “kill” the internet in the event of a “national cyber-emergency.” Supporters of the legislation say this is necessary to prevent a “cyber 9/11” – yet another myth (http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/features/2001/0211.green.html) from the fear mongers who brought us tales (http://criminalstate.com/2010/05/is-pakistan-the-next-evil-doer/) of “Iraqi WMD” and “Iranian nukes.”
Lieberman’s concerns about the internet are not new. The United States Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, which Lieberman chairs, released a report (http://hsgac.senate.gov/public/_files/IslamistReport.pdf) in 2008 titled “Violent Islamist Extremism, The Internet, and the Homegrown Terrorist Threat.” The report claimed that groups like al-Qaeda use the internet to indoctrinate and recruit members, and to communicate with each other.
Immediately after the report was published, Lieberman asked (http://fcw.com/articles/2008/05/19/youtube-refuses-lieberman-request.aspx) Google, the parent company of You Tube, to “immediately remove content produced by Islamist terrorist organizations.” That might sound like a reasonable request. However, as far as Lieberman is concerned, Hamas, Hezbollah and even the Iranian Revolutionary Guard (http://antiwar.com/orig/giraldi.php?articleid=11858) are terrorist organizations.
It’s hardly surprising that Lieberman’s views on what constitute terrorism parallel those of Tel Aviv. As Mark Vogel, chairman of the largest pro-Israel Political Action Committee (PAC) in the United States, once said (http://www.consortiumnews.com/2009/121509.html): “Joe Lieberman, without exception, no conditions … is the No. 1 pro-Israel advocate and leader in Congress. There is nobody who does more on behalf of Israel than Joe Lieberman.”
Lieberman has been well-rewarded for his patriotism – to another country. In the past six years, he has been the Senate’s top recipient (http://maplight.org/us-congress/interest/J5100/view/all) of political contributions from pro-Israel PACs with a staggering $1,226,956.
But what is it that bothers Lieberman so much about the internet? Could it be that it allows ordinary Americans access to facts which reveal exactly what kind of “friend” Israel has been to its overgenerous benefactor (http://www.washington-report.org/backissues/1297/9712043.html)? Facts which they have been denied by the pro-Israel mainstream media (http://www.ifamericansknew.org/media/bias.html).
How much faith would American voters have in the likes of Lieberman, who claims that the Jewish state is their greatest ally, if they knew that Israeli agents planted firebombs (http://www.wrmea.com/backissues/0792/92070041.html) in American installations in Egypt in 1954 in an attempt to undermine relations between Nasser and the United States; that Israel murdered 34 American servicemen in a deliberate attack (http://vodpod.com/watch/1797269-fox-news-covers-deliberate-israeli-massacre-of-us-sailors-on-uss-liberty) on the USS Liberty (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-3319663041501647311) on June 8, 1967; that Israeli espionage (http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article7545.htm), most notably Jonathan Pollard’s spying (http://www.amazon.com/Capturing-Jonathan-Pollard-Notorious-American/dp/1591146526), has done tremendous damage (http://www.amazon.com/Spy-Trade-Israels-Undermines-Americas/dp/0976443716/ref=ntt_at_ep_dpt_1) to American interests (http://www.amazon.com/Israel-American-National-Interest-EXAMINATION/dp/0252060741/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1277710940&sr=8-2); that five Mossad agents were filming and celebrating (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Jfu0nVjjs0) as the Twin Towers collapsed on September 11, 2001; that Tel Aviv and its accomplices in Washington (http://www.counterpunch.org/green02282004.html) were the source (http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2003/jul/17/iraq.usa) of the false pre-war intelligence on Iraq; and about countless other examples of treachery (http://original.antiwar.com/justin/2010/06/06/our-enemies-the-israelis/)?
In his latest attempt to censor the internet, does Lieberman really want to protect the American people from imaginary cyber-terrorists? Or is he just trying to protect his treasonous cronies (http://original.antiwar.com/giraldi/2009/04/26/some-might-call-it-treason/) from the American people?
