To: JDN who wrote (321042 ) 11/18/2002 1:13:17 PM From: MSI Respond to of 769670 I haven't read it yet, and can only respond to the issuing of new propaganda on the tube last night. For example, there are going to be new trends: Trend #1, "I do not have to explain myself", as stated by Bush on tape to Woodward. The reasons for that will be the old saw, "national security, I know more than the American people, but don't have to tell them." But, of course, can spy on Americans while "looking for the real killers" of 9/11. It's like OJ Simpson is in charge of the nation. In combination with the "Total Awareness Program" where Poindexter's secret team TAPs into every American's life history and daily life (without, if you've noticed, controlling the borders first), you now have complete autocracy. Keep everything secret, work up a PR campaign to avoid any ACCOUNTABILITY even at the top, and spy on everyone all the time... The definition of "fascism" is the state is more important and has more rights than the individual. Trend #2, "we want world peace", as stated on tape. The idea will be like "anyone not with us is against us", that there is only black and white, the Administration is right, Might Makes Right, and anyone being killed is being eliminated for "world peace", and comparisons to WWII will start emerging in full force. Forget that we aren't even to the level of the British, now tracking Osama in Yemen and doing our dirty work for us while we send in drones and distract our country with Iraq. The difference is that if there ever were world peace Bush and GOP power would decline. "Dictatorship would be a lot easier, if I were the dictator". Can't have dictatorship without global conflict.
