Looks like we don't have to wait for Y2K to learn about some "restrictions." From: "alertsend@y2knewswire.com" <alertsend@y2knewswire.com> To: xxxxxxxxxxx.xxxxxx.xxx Subject: Y2K Newswire - 12/2/1999 - News flash Reply-To: alertsend@y2knewswire.com Date: 2 Dec 1999 10:16:44 -0700 ____________________________________________________________ This is an opt-in Y2K Newswire e-mail alert. Unsubscribe instructions and contact e-mail addresses are detailed below. ____________________________________________________________ NEWS FLASH Seattle has turned thousands of ordinary citizens into criminals by outlawing gas masks. It is now illegal to purchase, sell, convey, possess, carry or transport gas masks within the Seattle city limits. Violators are subject to fines of up to 500 dollars and imprisonment of up to 180 days. The premise? "All citizens must be gassable." FLASHBACK: During the Gulf War, Israel handed out gas masks to its citizens, free of charge, as protection. FLASH: GAS-MASKS.COM THREATENS LAWSUIT Saying that the criminalization of gas masks leaves Seattle citizens vulnerable to a bioterrorism attack, Gas-Masks.com (www.gas-masks.com) threatens to take Seattle to court. FLASH: SAFE-TREK OUTFITTERS JOINS LAWSUIT Safe-Trek Outfitters (www.safetrek.com) announced today they will join any class-action lawsuit against the city of Seattle for endangering the lives of the public. Wonder if I'll be the first to post on this Y2K thread the news announcement of just who has filed the first lawsuit. I'm wagering it will be the ACLU. Yep, the Army's Domestic Preparedness Agenda codename for Y2K prep for 120 targeted cities as revealed on SI by some committed Y2K reporters over 18 months ago includes training and scenarios for Domestic or Foreign Terriorism response. Now we know that "ALL CITIZENS MUST BE GASSABLE." Isn't it perfectly wonderful how the stripping of freedoms comes out piecemeal, before the collectively embraced CDC? Good GOD!!!!!!!!!!!
