STALLS - OMINOUS SIMILARITIES TO THE PAST Hi Poet, Re: I think it's going overboard to call the threat of further terrorist acts on the US a distraction, I will go further than to call it a distraction. I will call it a sinisterly concieved scheme to defraud the American public. I see remarkable similarities between the present efforts to terrorize the population with what was perpetrated in Germany from 1933 on. Starting with the Reichstag Fire in February, 1933:wsws.org Hitler and his Nazis started enacting a series of laws to strip liberties from citizens and neutralize enemies. The U.S. Partiot Act, passed in the dark of night is remarkably reminiscent of the German laws passed in March, 1933. Add to that the secrecy of the Bush team, the dead of night signing of Executive Order #13233 to prevent release of Presidential papers, the arrest of at least on U.S. citizen without regard to Habeus Corpus rights, continuing terror warnings and a pattern starts to emerge of a President who is up to no good for the sake of American democracy. I don't know if you are familiar with it, but Operation Northwoods pretty well parallels the script for Operation 911. I find this to be chilling: Message 17525586 """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" Re: but I agree that its use as "blinders" on the media is very apparent. Very apparent. And that's wrong. An excellent case in point is the treatment of the Anthrax terrorist investigation. The F.I.B. seems to be going out of its way to appear incapable of solving this case. Here's the sanitized Anthrax story: Message 17652961 Here's Barbara Rosenberg's very important and very suppressed request for some movement in resolving the Anthrax perpetrator mystery. Rosenberg has as much as said that there really is no mystery about who the perp is. He's being protected by the upper echelons of government: redflagsweekly.com Here's Rosenberg's work as of early February, the F.I.B. has simply sat on its hands since then:fas.org Salaams, Ray
