Giuliani=Police State
Welcome to Giuliani's police state: No public criticism of the Mayor allowed, no marches or demonstrations by groups the Mayor doesn't like, no right to privacy on the streets, no information provided that might prove embarrassing to the Mayor, no monitoring of city policies by outside groups.
It's important to remember the mind-set that devised these assaults on our freedoms because Giuliani is now seriously considering running for higher office -- U.S. Senator or even President. America should beware a politician whose trademarks are controlling access to information and intimidating those who disagree with him.
Giuliani's Police State
A recent example of Giuliani's overkill is his response to an AIDS demonstration a few weeks ago. First, it took a federal court order before the city would grant a permit for several hundred demonstrators to march. Then the marchers were not allow to congregate on City Hall steps. Instead, the police forced them into spaces between concrete barricades, videotaped the proceedings, and positioned snipers armed with rifles on the roof of City Hall looking down on them. This is the sort of reaction we would expect of a third world dictator.
The barricades are just the latest evidence that Giuliani has allowed his official position to go to his head. There's the suppression of public information, the harassment of street artists and vendors, and a fence around City Hall Park. He's even banned playing stick ball in the streets!
Then there's the city's response to the numerous lawsuits brought to enforce the laws impartially or provide information that belongs in the public domain. Typically, Giuliani loses the case in court, appeals the decision, and continues his actions. His strategy is to wear down the opposition.
Last July, the city was forced to end an unevenly enforced ban on public gatherings on the steps of City Hall. Rather than comply with the court order, Giuliani decided that all gatherings on City Hall steps would be banned. In defiance of his edict, several members of the City Council held a meeting on the steps but weren't arrested. Apparently even Giuliani saw how silly he'd look arresting Council members for gathering on the steps of City Hall.
The news media, nonprofits, and other public officials have had to go to court to pry loose data from the city. To evade having to disclose information, the city says it doesn't collect data in several areas, including the tracking of former welfare recipients and the job progress of WEP workers. The idea is that the city can't turn over information that it doesn't have.

Keep in mind this article was written in 1999. Several years before the MOSSAD/CIA attack on NYC.
Giuliani's unquenchable lust for power makes him the least fit candidate for president.
He'd take the state security apparatus that the Bush/Cheney cabal has instituted and make it even more draconian.
Giuliani is a ruthless despot that will have no qualms about shredding what is left of the Constitution and Bill of Rights.
And being a draft dodger like Cheney--SIX deferments--means Giuliani will be another war monger serving up death and destruction to please his Zionist masters.
Just an article of interest I came across.
