The latest madness in "the war against terror" (twat)

The New Zealand secret service are keeping an eye on students in university labs to see if they're what, concocting bombs and weapons of mass destruction?  Perhaps that's not a bad idea to blow up parliament and all the idiots within.  It's reached ludicrous proportions.  Read about this stupidity here:

Terrorist alert in universities

"Government spies and other officials are trying to educate the heads of New Zealand universities to beware of potential terrorists in their midst.....Though there was no specific intelligence to indicate any threat, they were needed to stop New Zealand universities training students to develop weapons of mass destruction, he (Disarmament Minister Phil Goff) said. " 

Disarmament Minister?  This is New Zealand we're talking about - a paltry little country of 4 million people who generally don't give a shit about the rest of the world - the attitudes of "I'm alright, Jack" and "she'll be right, mate".   Disarmament???  The NZ army is pathetic.  We have no nuclear weapons.  Why the fuck do we need a "Disarmament Minister"?  And do they seriously believe some lecturer is going to train students to make weapons of "mass destruction".  I'm sure there's more likelihood in training people in mass stupidity.

This fear-mongering has gone way beyond the bounds of reason.  The whole war against terror thing is total bullshit, made up by the yanks to justify all their illegal and imperialist actions.

In hearing about this story I was told that some New Zealand university academics have been spoken to by the FBI for things they've said.  I get so angry at the US interfering in every single aspect of people's lives all over the world.  We are not permitted to think independently, to disagree with the outrages of the US government.  I'm sure they'd like all independent thinkers locked up or otherwise silenced.  Freedom of speech is a thing of the past.
