Student who was visited by Homeland Security
A few days ago a poster referenced an example of our civil liberties being violated. It involved a UMASS student who was questioned by Homeland Security officials after he checked out Mao's "Little Red Book" from the school library. The guy now admits he made the whole thing up. He wanted the publicity and he got it from this hoax.

d Book" by Mao Zedong has admitted to making up the entire story. The 22-year-old student tearfully admitted he made the story up to his history professor, Dr. Brian Glyn Williams, and his parents, [/ QUOTE ] lmao |

Mao's book is so 2004. Nowadays the FBI only watches The Moosewood Guide to Vegetarianism and Herbert Sees a Who.
Those readers are the real terrorists. |

I have eaten at the original Moosewood restaraunt -- no doubt they have some agents watching me here in Viet Nam. I did see a couple of guys in suits and dark glasses diving with me this morning!!!

The monitoring is real. What Americans are reading, watching and talking about is being monitored with less restraints, checks and balances than ever. That's no hoax. And if the monitoring is being done, following up on it is only to be expected. |
