Homeland Security Recruiting Neighborhood Busybodies as Informants

A father of two was harassed and investigated by Child Protective Services and police for feeding his daughters organic food, refusing to make them drink fluoride-poisoned tap water, and not having them injected with mercury-laden vaccines, all of which constitutes “suspicious activity” in the new Sovietized America, a foretaste of what’s to come once Big Sis’ Wal-Mart spy campaign gets up and running. - Paul Joseph Watson, Father Harassed By CPS For Feeding Kids Organic Food, Infowars.com, December 13, 2010

Homeland Security Recruiting Neighborhood Busybodies as Informants

December 6, 2010

CrimeFileNews.com - There were the infamous Gestapo, Stazi and Red Guard. They all sought and maintained civilian armies of snitches to help their rogue governments maintain absolute power. These government thugs wanted any information they could use against the victims they selectively targeted.

Today we have the Department of Homeland Security that is quickly stepping into this role in the United States. They are massively expanding their authority, reach and budget to smash dissent, and any resistance to government repression and violation of our Civil Rights.

If you have not noticed, our government has suspended the Fourth Amendment in the name of anti-terrorism. If you haven’t noticed, It’s our own government that has become the terrorist.

Now Homeland Security is beginning a massive recruitment drive to get people to snitch on their neighbors. When this happens they suggest they want information about crime or terrorism but this always degenerates into what these criminal regimes really want, a hideous form of Thought Police. What they truly want is information about Americans resisting the Police State.

I’m not suggesting that people not report actual crimes as they have always done. We all have the responsibility to warn our neighbors if their house is on fire.

The Homeland Security program is about allowing the government to employ neighborhood busybodies to spy on all of us. Homeland Security just recruited Wal-Mart as a spying partner.

By the way, if you’ve not noticed, Homeland security is not a law enforcement agency staffed by trained cops. American law enforcement officials are all required to take an oath to defend the U.S. Constitution. Perhaps that’s why nearly 60.000 TSA screeners and their bosses have no problem violating the civil rights of American travelers.

The Hiding Place

Corrie ten Boom lived through the Nazi occupation of Holland in WWII and formed part of the Dutch resistance in Haarlem. Her autobiography, The Hiding Place, tells how the ten Booms smuggled Jews, and others sought by soldiers, out into the countryside and abroad.

As it became clear that people were aware of their work, the ten Booms knew they were in increasing danger, but they could not stop. One day a policeman named Rolf came to the watch shop in the ten Boom's home. Corrie knew he was one of the underground workers. He asked Corrie if she could send a messenger to another house with a warning that the Germans were planning to raid it. A boy of seventeen named Jop volunteered to go. But unfortunately the Gestapo got to the house first, and Jop was caught. Corrie and her friends knew that Jop would be tortured and likely talk.

The ten Boom family knew that they ought to stop their work for the Jews before they also were arrested. But they could not let their Jewish friends down; they had to go on.

The long feared raid occurred on February 28, 1944. Early in the day, a man from Ermelo came to the house. He said that he had been hiding Jews, and now his wife had been arrested. He begged for 600 guilders to bribe a prison officer. Corrie was hesitant, yet she didn't want to risk not giving it.

It is important to note that Corrie sensed that the man from Ermelo was someone who might not be trustworthy, but she turned away from her instinct. She arranged for the money to be given to the man, who turned out to be a Dutch informant collaborating with the Germans to arrest the ten Booms.

Shortly after giving the man from Ermelo the money, Corrie was roused by their desperate lodgers racing to the hidden room. A police captain entered the home almost immediately and ordered her to go downstairs. Corrie had prepared a special bag in case of a raid, but she was forced to leave it -- and its precious contents, including night things, a bible and vitamins -- behind, as it was too close to the entrance to the secret room. The ten Boom's 'All Clear' sign remained in their home's window, so visitors continued to enter and were also ensnared. In total, 35 people were arrested.

Corrie, her father, her sisters Nollie and Betsie, her brother Willem, and her nephew Peter were sent first to Scheveningen prison, where Corrie's father died 10 days after his capture. Nollie, Willem and Peter were released. Corrie and Betsie later were sent to the Vught political concentration camp (both in the Netherlands), and finally on December 16, 1944, to the notorious Ravensbrück concentration camp in Germany, where Betsie died. Due to a clerical error, Corrie was released from Ravensbruck on December 31, 1994, one week before all women her age were killed.

A powerful and moving story, this was released as a feature film (see trailer below; the film also is available on YouTube).

“We must tell people, Corrie. We must tell them what we learned.”
- Betsie ten Boom ("The Hiding Place," pg. 234)

Excerpt from "The Hiding Place" - Chapter 1, The One Hundredth Birthday Party:

"A full ten years ago, way back in 1927, Willem had written in his doctoral thesis, done in Germany, that a terrible evil was taking root in that land. Right at the university, he said, seeds were being planted of a contempt for human life such as the world had never seen.

"The few who had read his paper had laughed. Now of course, well, people weren’t laughing about Germany. Most of the good clocks came from here, and recently several firms with whom we had dealt for years were simply and mysteriously “out of business.” Willem believed it was part of a deliberate and large-scale move against Jews; every one of the closed businesses was Jewish. As head of the Dutch Reformed Church’s program to reach Jews, Willem kept in touch with these things.

"Dear Willem, I thought, he was about as good a salesman of the church as Father was of watches. If he’d converted a single Jew in twenty years, I hadn’t heard about it. Willem didn’t try to change people, just to serve them. He had scrimped and saved enough money to build a home for elderly Jews in Hilversum—for the elderly of all faiths, in fact, for Willem was against any system of segregation. But in the last few months, the home had been deluged with younger arrivals—all Jews and all from Germany. Willem and his family had given up their own living quarters and were sleeping in a corridor. And still the frightened, homeless people kept coming, and with them tales of a mounting madness."

"The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be;
And that which is done is that which shall be done:
And there is no new thing under the sun."
(Ecclesiastes 1:9)
