DHS Implementing No Work List: Citizens Must Get Government Approval to Work in Private Sector Jobs

Kurt Nimmo Infowars.com December 16, 2010 You’ve heard of no fly and no buy lists — get ready for no work lists. Millions of workers now must apply to the DHS and prove they are not terrorists in order to be granted permission by the government to work. On the Alex Jones Show today, a caller pointed to information posted on a union website for ironworkers spelling out details on the Department of Homeland Security’s TWIC and SWAC programs. TWIC is short for Transportation Worker Identification Credential and SWAC stands for Secure Worker Access Consortium. TWIC “is a biometric credential that ensures only vetted workers are eligible to enter a secure construction site, unescorted,” Ironworkers Local 361 in Ozone Park, New York, explains. “Before issuing a TWIC, TSA must conduct a security threat assessment on the TWIC applicant. An applicant who, as a result of the assessment, is determined to not pose a security threat, will be issued a TWIC card.” In other words, construction workers in New York will need permission from the TSA and DHS in order to practice their profession and earn a living. It was much the same in the former Soviet Union and authoritarian states such as China where the government determines all aspects of an individual’s life and where even the mildly rebellious are severely punished. SWAC is even more draconian. It is “a large-scale collaborative effort among public and private authorities, facility owners, contractors, and labor organizations who

G. Edward Griffin The Dangerous Servant A Discourse on Government

Edward Griffin by a camera crew creating a documentary on the US Constitution. In this session, he answers the most difficult questions imaginable in the fields of political and social science.

Are we turning more so and more so into an authoritarian government who does not allow freedom of religion?

Question by no vanilla for me: Are we turning more so and more so into an authoritarian government who does not allow freedom of religion?
Or I should say, free expression of religion…What would make a teacher any more so influential than the president of the United State? Yet we allow the president to express his or her religious beliefs. And why shouldn’t we? Why shouldn’t all be allowed to pratice freedom of religion, why should we put restrictions on teachers?

Best answer:

Answer by Lucifer
We have plenty of freedom of Religion, but the tools will discriminate and hate you for it…. Unless you’re a Christian.

Doesn’t sound too much like religious freedom to me, but that is what they call it.

Why did the writers of the Constitution created a federal system of government?

Question by casey: Why did the writers of the Constitution created a federal system of government?
Also, what’s the relationship between the principles of checks and balances and the separation of powers as detailed in the Constitution?

Best answer:

Answer by Professortemple
They created a stronger federal system of the government in the Constitution because of the failures of the Articles of Confederation, which made for a very weak federal government, and gave all the powers to the states, leading to a number of problems, including within the military, taxation, currency, trade, and mobility of citizens.
The checks and balances system is a key feature of the separation of powers, in that it allows for one branch of the government to ensure that the other(s) aren’t exceeding their power.

What are two ways the constitution allows our government to make decisions concerning individual rights?

Question by Young Quezy: What are two ways the constitution allows our government to make decisions concerning individual rights?
What are two ways the constitution allows our government to make decisions concerning individual rights?

Also, whats one situation where the United Sates government has suspended individual rights to protect the “common good”?

Give as much description as you can, thanks.

Best answer:

Answer by fredo
The Constitution gives Congress the ability to suspend habeas corpus (the doctrine saying you have a right to a hearing if you are being detained) in times of war or insurrection, effectively allowing Congress to decide that individual rights are outweighed by national security.

Also, the Constitution gives Congress the authority to enforce the 14th Amendment, which guarantees the same rights for all people. So they are allowed to make decisions regarding individual rights when it comes to making states give their citizens equal rights.

The government has suspended habeas corpus, once during the Civil War, once during Reconstruction, and again recently following 9-11.

Q&A: Why would the government want to privatize intelligence work? Isn’t that national security?

Question by BekindtoAnimals22: Why would the government want to privatize intelligence work? Isn’t that national security?
I’m watching CSPAN right now and they are discussing this. Why is the government trying to take over things like health care which is not their responsibility and dumping their real responsibilities such as military and intelligence? Doesn’t this seem a little strange since the Constitution calls national security a primary responsibility of the federal government?
Why would this be permitted. Doesn’t the constitution mean anything anymore? Isn’t our government over stepping its bounds? If so, why are we allowing them to do it?
