[PSA/Article]Donating to Snowden is now illegal and the U.S. Government can take all your stuff. - Thanks Obama. [xpost /r/bitcoin]

"Sec. 2. I hereby determine that the making of donations of the type of articles specified in section 203(b)(2) of IEEPA (50 U.S.C. 1702(b)(2)) by, to, or for the benefit of any person whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to section 1 of this order would seriously impair my ability to deal with the national emergency declared in this order, and I hereby prohibit such donations as provided by section 1 of this order. Sec. 3. The prohibitions in section 1 of this order include but are not limited to: (a) the making of any contribution or provision of funds, goods, or services by, to, or for the benefit of any person whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to this order; and (b) the receipt of any contribution or provision of funds, goods, or services from any such person." Sec. 7. For those persons whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to this order who might have a constitutional presence in the United States, I find that because of the ability to transfer funds or other assets instantaneously, prior notice to such persons of measures to be taken pursuant to this order would render those measures ineffectual. I therefore determine that for these measures to be effective in addressing the national emergency declared in this order, there need be no prior notice of a listing or determination made pursuant to section 1 of this order." ... aka, they can take all your stuff without due process instantly if you have "constitutional rights" in the US (wow). The rabbit hole is deep people. This is almost as bad as the patriot act... a national emergency LOL what a joke. I pray that non of you donated to Snowden using Coinbase or any other bitcoin platform that keeps your identity on file

I sure as hell am not letting my government tell me what to do now.


[3 Points] heyfreshhhhh:

People here are totally down with letting the government tell them what to do. Uh huh.


[1 Points] Einsteins_Lovechild:

Hey remember when the US had three branches of government? We had a legislative branch that wrote laws, a judicial branch that made sure the laws were legal, and an executive branch that enforced the legal laws.

Now we have criminal laws that start out "I hereby determine..." instead of "A majority of the legislature having determined...". And we have secret courts in the executive branch, not judicial branch, that review executive acts to make sure everything is legal. And of course there's the secret police in the executive branch that monitors and archives every single communication everyone makes, including this one (hi NSA! kisses!). All of this because a bunch of Saudis sucker punched us with box cutters on airplanes on one occasion.

America, FUCK YEAH!
