Holy crap. Is this what I think it is? Is this what Bush is going to use to declare martial law. This could be happening sooner than I thought and people will die. Of course I could be wrong, paranoid, crazy or a wonderful combination of three. That would be fucking wonderful.
"Rather than focusing on well-established measures for protecting the lives and health of Americans, policymakers have recently embraced an approach that views public health policy through the prism of national security and law enforcement," the ACLU report reads.
But the U.S. Health and Human Services Department (HHS) said the group had misunderstood the government's approach and said current plans already incorporate many of the ACLU's recommendations.
Jesus Christ what the fuck is to misunderstand? It either says what it says or it don't. It either says they'll be forced inoculations, evacuations, and quarantines or it don't!
The ACLU said it was worried that the plan called for military and police involvement in enforcing a quarantine.
Um, yeah. Me too.
The ACLU experts said they were especially disturbed by an October executive order from President George W. Bush that directed HHS to establish a task force to plan for potential catastrophes like a terrorist attack, pandemic influenza or a natural disaster that would ensure full use of Department of Defense resources.
Read that over and over again until it sinks in. Then read it a couple more times. The read this.
The Bush order does not specify what the Department of Defense role would be, but also mentions military medical research facilities that have played a role in health for decades.
Enjoy your experimental vaccine chock full of heavy metals courtesy of the mega pharmaceuticals. Don't worry, they care bout you.

"Pandemic planning today tends to emphasize mandatory vaccination and forced treatment," the ACLU's Tania Simoncelli told a news conference.
If that doesn't scare the fuck out you read it a couple more times. Since when is the government in the business of our maintaining our health?
"It also means that sick people are being treated as criminals and enemies of the state rather than individuals in need of care."
Enjoy your FEMA cell. I ain't going.
The ACLU said plans should focus on how to help people stay home without losing pay, and instead of merely advising citizens to stockpile food, should provide for ways to help them do so.
Well, that would be fucking logical wouldn't it?
"They have mischaracterized our planning efforts. They are confusing a containment attempt as our overall pandemic response once the virus has spread beyond our ability to stop it," Hall said in a telephone interview.
Holy crap. That is classic Orwellian doublespeak. Are you sure you didn't dream our planning efforts comrade Clover? They are telling the ACLU it doesn't say what it says. The more you read about tyrannical governments the more you recognize that crap. And believe me, we've got one.
This could be bad.
Official ACLU release is here.
