WHAT DO WE NOT KNOW ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY?

Your Ostrich Killer provides you this, from yesterday's headlines:

ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates — The U.S. Homeland Security secretary says she is working to prevent a possible wave of anti-Muslim sentiment after the shootings at Fort Hood in Texas.

Janet Napolitano says her agency is working with groups across the United States to try to deflect any backlash against American Muslims following Thursday's rampage by Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, a Muslim who reportedly expressed growing dismay over the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

That ought to reassure everyone, right? Especially

- islamic terrorists in the US;

- the hand-wringing bed wetters who cry over the perps and forget the victims;

- trial lawyers who stand to make millions in lawsuits

Janet Napolitano promises to make monitoring and neutralizing islamic terrorists in the US more difficult. It's easy to predict that part of her effort to deflect backlash will require more paperwork and diligence on the part of enforcement agencies. Hell, it may even require a few more bureaucracies. Slow them down, in other words, and tie their hands with PC cuffs. What's a few more dead Americans, if we can enforce pretending we don't believe what we all believe?

But another question arises: To a suspicious mind like mine, I see enforcement threats hidden behind her rhetoric. But I was unaware that DHS (Department of Homeland Security) had an enforcement arm. But maybe they do. And maybe they can be used against normal citizens who think they're being good citizens.

I have a political page, where well before 9/11 I predicted certain things, based solely on what I saw as emerging trends. My most recent entries are almost ten years old by now. But there is something eerily reminiscent in her actions. I went back and read what I wrote. The hairs on the back of my head stood up. Read it for yourself, if you're curious, at http://blizzardguy.com/politics/crystal.htm

I even mentioned the possibility of a federal police force, akin to the KGB or Gestapo. I called it the Bureau of Internal Stability back then, before DHS was spawned from the ashes of the World Trade Center.

Can there be a National Homeland Security Enforcement force in the works? Anyone know anything more about such a federal police force in the making? Make a comment, let us all know.
