Patriot Act Secrets They Don't Want You to Know - Forgotten History
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 вер 2024
- After the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 the federal government had an almost immediate reflex action in order to prevent another such occurrence. This was not unusual, as throughout American history laws have been passed that were ostensibly to provide security but eventually became too intrusive and often labeled unconstitutional. The other side of the argument is that certain laws were required to increase national security and protect American citizens, and were therefore necessary depending upon the circumstances. We will discuss both arguments here. Written and Hosted by Colin D. Heaton. Forgotten History is a 10th Legion Pictures Production.

At the time I was like "I'm a good American. Im a Patriot. I don't break the law. I have nothing to worry about." My views have drastically changed.

Absolutely
I was a punk ass back then, which means I was an undisciplined libertarian. My reasons then for hating it were off. I was right for the wrong reasons.
I think everyone felt this way at the time and unfortunately fear and a mindset centered on justice and revenge allowed this act to be passed and we are dealing with the repercussions now more than ever before.

I saw 9/11 as a Riechstag fire and the Patriot Act as HITLER'S Enabling Act.
But, trusted the traitor creeps anyway!

Ron Paul was right about the Patriot Act.
Absolutely. Thanks for watching.
Ron Paul was right about everything. Monetary policy, Congress selling us out, warrantless attacks on Americans, the uniparty etc.
Ron Paul was right about everything 😉 look at the mess we got ourselves into not listening to dad
He makes good speeches. Likely made a lot of money on the freedom campaign. Hardly effective.
A lot of people were right and sounding the alarm about it. But that fake news…
An elected legislature can trample a man’s rights as easily as a king can.
Exactly.
Well, maybe not as easily, but they sure can do it.
"So, this is how Liberty dies. To thunderous applause."
The unpatriotic Act.
Correct!
Forgotten history? This topic is more we remember damn well history.
As a former law enforcement officer and Detective, I would argue that the Patriot Act might have been meant for external threats, but that the reality is that it has been used against actual Americans more than any foreign terrorist.
Local authorities are pretty much hamstrung by the Constitution, which is a good thing, as that's how it's supposed to be, but agencies like the FBI and the DoJ in general just seem to not care and do whatever they want anyway. I mean, it's pretty easy to do when you have neverending taxpayer money to hire tens of thousands of attorneys.
The Patriot Act either needs a massive overhaul with much more potent protections for American citizens, or it simply needs to be repealed and/or abolished.
I am unwilling to trade the majority of my freedoms for the possibility of a tiny slice of "safety".
There’s no way to overhaul it and make it safe - they’ve already proven time and time again they will break the law to use their abilities against Americans. The ability to collect the data has to be taken away, period.
You are correct however that is the intended purpose of the patriot act. It was appropriately named for who they intended to use it against
It never ceases to amaze me how the cia works within the United States with black funds, although its charter states that it is only to work OUTSIDE the boundaries of the USA.
We all knew either right away or in time that the 9/11 attacks were an inside job. We just couldn't believe what we were seeing. People started learning about "false flag operations" and wondered where the people were who were deplaned in Cleveland that day. I grew up during The Cold War, and believed that Russians were base, evil and frankly, scary. Now we are right there with them.
What an astonishing coincidence that the solution to every problem is greater authority for government and the trampling of human rights.
There's no such thing as a coincidence. 😏
Hegelian Dialectic.
The Patriot Act is one law that needs to be buried.
It makes me mad every time I have to through a TSA check and get xrayed just to travel on a domestic plane.Yet it ok to travel on a train, subway, bus, taxis, boats, ships, without this harassment. TSA needs to be removed from airports and assigned to the breached borders. Criminal can enter the USA with weapons but I'm fined and harassed for bring a 6oz bottle of shampoo 😫😳
@@cookielapaz8927my whole family was pulled out of line and questioned because I had a 4oz body lotion in my bag, that I had bought at the gift shop. They wanted me to check my carry on or throw it away, then made us all open up our bags and pull everything out in separate rooms. We almost missed our flight home. It was bonkers and still pisses me off.
When people will give up their rights because of an emergency there will always be another emergency.
Ghosts of 9.11 are scarier than anything you’ll unmask on Scooby-Doo mysteries.
"And I Would Have Gotten Away With It Too, If It Weren't For You Meddling Kids"
In 2022 USAA used the Patriot Act to freeze all my funds, debit and credit card. Reason being, my daughter had not answered a 10 question survey of Get to Know your customer. Needless to say, i dont keep my eggs in one badket anymore. And, certainly not their basket. Took me two months to get my funds.
That’s scary,sorry that happened to you
I remember learning about the patriot act and fusion centers in 2007 when i was in the navy and going to school to eventually be a fed... I decided really fast that i didnt want to be a part of that system after my first 2 classes when i was 21-22 years old. Then I really went down the the rabbit hole.
Is the Patriot Act being used by the current regime, to go through bank records.....to see who was in the vicinity of the Jan 6 Trump speech?
Government with a knee jerk reaction, has never been good for Americans!
We're usually the ones getting kicked in the ass.
Once laws are brought in they almost impossible to get cancelled that’s why they must be properly debated and vetted and not rushed to law
Like the saying with the vaccines for Covid, it’s the same logic for 9/11.
A tragic event such as 9/11 had to happen so they could pass these unconstitutional laws upon the people…
Which means 9/11 was either perpetrated by our own government or simply allowed to happen for this to pass through 😔
Thanks for watching
Remember, Osama was a CIA asset - the perfect patsy.
It was planned. Just like the plann-demic.
I’m positive it was orchestrated by our own government. I never previously knew how much information there is on this, but I’ve seen so much over the last few years and am now sure it was orchestrated from within.
Lol the channel owner didn't want to touch that one
Well done. ASHCROFT, the architect of mandatory minimum prison sentences. Cookie cutter method. The punishment should fit the crime.
He sure could belt out a showtune though!
Thank you for covering this subject, as I've been wrestling with it in my head lately. The amount of scrutiny U.S. citizens are under from our government only makes what is happening at our southern border even more ridiculous to me. Monitor every move of existing citizens, whilst enticing foreign nationals to cross over unchecked for taxpayer-funded handouts.
Danger is; now a conserned mother at a PTA meeting is classed a "terrorists".
Don't forget... Obama touted that he would REPEAL the PA when campaigning for his first term... after elected, he was only elated to extend its influence.
Like Trumpenstein, a life long Democrat.He also touted a bunch of things that never came about.
This channel is so IMPORTANT! Every citizen in the U.S. should be following FORGOTTEN HISTORY.
With open borders, law Enforcment has no idea who has entered the USA.
Like 95% of laws the name is opposite of the intent of the law.
I guess the War of 1812 was actually lost and all Americans became slaves.
Ok City bombing was a Gov action. The "high ranking" officials were not there. One highly decorated officer was there. But as he was an Actual Patriot, he wasn't forewarned.
I watched a video at a Fire Department that illustrated how the building was brought down.
Shape charges were needed at the base of the columns in order to break them. Obviously something extremists could not do in a secure building.
Rule number 1: The government is not your friend.
Rule number 2: The Government is for sale to the highest bidder, and the public doesn't get to point out that they were already paying for it.
I don't think we need Federal governance any more. How much does the Fed cost us every year? And every year it grows, yet has not proven their value. They're just parasites.

I have learned so much from your videos, which have confirmed sooooo many of my suspicions. Thank you, thank you, thank you for all the work and then sharing.
You are so welcome
My biggest pipe dream is that those who destroyed privacy will pay for that heinous crime with everything. Privacy should not be impossible or cast in suspicion. It is a basic human right.
It's still being used and abused in ways most couldn't imagine. I got a look at the full patriot act . And immediately started calling for it's repeal.
Was a bad idea the second it was announced if you knew what “mission creep” was.

Thanks for your consistent support!
"Patriot Act" simply defines the target.
Wasn't it supposed to be TEMPORARY?
Kinda like covid, it just never really goes away.
Was suppose to end in 2005, but was extended. Then changed to be more intrusive. Which had to have been the plan all along considering every click on a keyboard, text, phone call, private conversation are being recorded. If people knew the real permissions these "smart" phones apps have, like redirecting our phone calls, modifying our texts, taking pictures, they'd be appalled. Any "smart" device or appliance spys on us.
As temporary as income tax.
Is more government power EVER temporary?
Definitely needs to be repealed.
I'm a Reagan era USAF veteran and a retired LEO I was never comfortable with the Patriot Act getting passed especially the creation of the Department of Homeland Security.
I'm old enough to know that no crisis has been as bad as what our own government has done to us! The crisis is never as bad as what our American institutions and government does to us.
When a law can be enforced with perjury and false evidence, it needs to be revised or revoked! Thanks for the video! Uaah!
Just found this channel and I’m very impressed. You seem to report only the documented facts and leave opinion and baseless speculation out of it, unless noted as such. It’s hard to find anyone report on political topics in a purely fact-based manner without inserting their own views into it, so this channel is a gem for honest people.
This last weekend they extended FISA by 2 years, with the exemption of anybody in Congress without their permission. Would like to see an update with your perspective. Enjoy your show thanks
Seconded!
The National Defense Authorization Act was the one I took issue with. Would like to see a video discussing it.
Thanks for the recommendation, we will look into it.
knee-jerk law making is never a good idea.
Maybe it was like Pearl Harbor in WWII. They knew it was going to happen and were ready to take advantage of it.
I believe they were more involved in orchestrating it than Pearl Harbor though. If they don't have a crisis to exploit, they simply create one.
They were part of it with their greatest ally Pissrael
My guess would be it was previously written and sitting in someone’s desk drawer waiting for the opportunity to meet the preparation.
Anyone remember the movie "Enemy of the State"? The plot? Yeah... this basically.
Let me tell you how stupid this law is. There were 200 of us shipping out to the middle east, we were in uniform, equipped. although our rifles were stowed, we had knives and bayonets on our belts. Because it was a commercial airline, we had to take out boots off...how stupid. The brigadier with us had a running screaming fit and the TSA folks backed off. I guess in reality that was more TSA stuff, but it's all tied in.
What a nightmare: The shock felt, during the aftermath of 9/11/2001, allowed many Americans to feel as if sweeping impositions were necessary (if inconvenient).
After Bill Clinton and Janet Reno, we should've realized that we were losing our liberties.

I recall the "Patriot Act" was already written and was rolled out almost instantaneously. Some high powered lawyer authored it, I can't recall his name right off.
When great American Patriot Edward Snowden put out the USA-NSA-CIA leaks to selected media outlets, these journalist knew they were playing with dynamite! And quickly made it a non story. One of the most stunning revelations was the NSA's Utah data center. This advanced technological marvel is so massive and so built out it will be able to store all electronic data and metadata vacuumed up by their gargantuan super computer complex for the next 500 years! What a mind-blowing revelation! Thanks professor for sharing your knowledge, I learn something new and useful every episode. A fundamental understanding of history is essential in today's society.
Thank you so much for this informative video. IMO… to give up any liberty isn’t patriotic and for those wishing for citizens to give up liberties is criminal.
Well presented, thank you! Indeed there is a delicate balance between security and tyranny.
What I have learned today has shocked me to the core. Thank you for your great work and for always making truth your priority.
You are so welcome
I definitely don’t forget this. I’ve been screaming at anyone that’ll listen this was the end of freedom.
If this law was really about real terrorism they would have investigated themselves as the most dangerous threat.
The algorithm hiding this video is hilarious.
Thank you sir for uploading this informative video
Most welcome
Now, we just pay our enemies to fight us...and skim as much as possible
The name of that abominable act is Anathema! After nine 11, I remember feeling more concerned by what the guv did, than what box-cutter wielding terrorists did. 🙄
14:20 the patriot act is definitely not a shadow of itself now, I’d say we have it on steroids now.
Nothing that has the word "patriot" in it has anything to do with protecting Americans.
id rather live in dangerous freedom than "secure" bondage.
GREAT VIDEO. THANKFUL!
The Patriot Act poses a difficult question. On one hand we have to recognize the prevalence of terrorism against our country by foreign actors (esp. from the Middle East) and we can't leave ourselves defenseless. On the other hand, the abuse of the provisions of the act by the government in conjunction with the FISA Court judges is clear. So, a drastic reform/replacement is needed. But it can't be done now with the present government in place. They can't be trusted to limit the power of the government in any meaningful way and would twist any new provisions to their own benefit.
Absolutely agree, the way forward is more complicated than ever before and the right answer is not so obvious but it certainly is not the answer we have now.
@FORGOTTENHISTORYCHANNEL I can't write my own comment for some reason?!
But I wish you would've included a discussion about William Tandem, a former Grand Dragon for the Alabama KKK, who helped push the Patriot Act through congress. How is anyone with a background with KKK allowed in any type of governmental or community positions???
We created Al Queda and funded them. Our CIA taught them how to make IED’s. Read Blowback by Chalmers and listen to Ron Paul.
Are we safer or led by the very act toward destruction? Why? Epictetus taught, "Only the educated are free. "
LBJ sent us a notice in 1965 to have my dad to take me from Dover AFB to Wilmington De to become Naturalized. While we were waiting the old man blubbered something to the jailer. "This is where the bad boys go." March 65. So Johnson was elected. McNamara wanted to close bases. Mom said in Glasweigan "He's no going to get my washer and dryer" Munitions would be prioritized.

Not “forgotten”! As a dyed-in-wool libertarian, I remember clearly when & how our rights were violated by our Congress, while all the “loyal” Americans around me cheered with glee…
Hey it's good to hear your voice again in these well thought out and informative narrations . Learn much here that I otherwise would not know . Those Federalists were quick to disregard our Constitution , glad they got stymied for a time .
I remember Rush Limbaugh shilling hard for this to be passed. I was a big fan and believed what he said.
Now I know better.
TSA will strip search a taxpayer citizen but show your prison release records from Mexico and come right in,Mucho Gusto
Re-watched this again!
Thank you!
This act is the reason we need a law that says Congress cannot pass laws for a certain amount of time after a tragic event or natural disaster that way we don't let emotions cloud our judgement.
The morality and legality of the law is completely subjected to the morality and legality of those that enforce the law.
In all true-ness, i doubt patriots today have the same idea what it means to be one (due to fear of media & labels that'll follow)..
This was an amazing well put subject needed to be heard..👏🤝🙏
Very insightful and informative . The world can see how this legislation has been horribly abused.

Please do a video on examples of American confiscation and laws that allow it (firearms or stockpiles of food, etc).
We did one on FDR confiscating personal gold
@@FORGOTTENHISTORYCHANNEL I'd love to see one about the current and origin of the broader laws like the NDAA and Executive Order 13603 along with example events during disasters like Hurricane Katrina where confiscation took place. I'm a documentary filmmaker and would be happy to share what I've gathered.
I will admit that laws like the patriot act are often successful into weakening terrorism, in other words like activities by those who want to hurt the United States. My worry is that these type of laws are often used to go beyond the scope of what they were intended. And they assume that those who have the power to implement these procedures, have the same constitutional dedication as intended. But instead they have often abused such power. It is laws like these, that can be used to subjugate a population or parts of a population. Making us like Nazi Germany in Soviet Russia.
I never forgot this law. It’s been an illegal act for decades at this point and they keep renewing it. It’s disgusting needed them and it isn’t needed now if people would’ve just done their jobs would’ve never happened to begin with.
Thank you for putting the truth out there so that Americans can be informed. Gives us all a choice!
The act should not have been allowed as it has been used and is being used against the law abiding citizenry.
Oh well, thanks for reminding me. This is gonna hurt.
LOL
Another excellent and informative video! I definitely felt I had nothing to hide, but after Edward Snowden I strongly oppose the fisa court and wiretapping.
How long until they want the "Save the puppies Act" in which we need to confiscate your guns to make puppies more safe. Don't you want puppies to be safe?
