I'm certain that the fine folks who cooked up Operation Northwoods have already written the planning documents for such an assault on the legislative branch. And undoubtedly they've got contingency planning done on how to neuter the judical system as well I'll have to find it again, but there was an irritated intel chief who said as much in Congressional testimony after the Ollie North hearings, something like "... if we had to we'd end elections altogether", followed by comments to make it seem as if something else were being said. Absolutely there are such plans developed for psy-ops in other countries, by the original DOD think-tank, RAND. Anyone who thinks such plans aren't made in wide variety and detail for this country hasn't read much history. The judicial system is easy to neutralize -- just appoint puppet judges, as the GOP is attempting to do now, to avoid the lid being blown off of any one of a number of frauds by an over-ambitious Democrat somewhere. All the lifetime-appointed federal judge has to do is quash the evidence.

Just to go along with the JOBLESS RECOVERY...whatever the HELL that means: US goods set to double in price as Europe plans huge trade war By Stephen Castle in Brussels 11 November 2003 American jeans, Florida orange juice and dozens of other US products could double in price from next month because of a growing transatlantic trade war. The World Trade Organisation gave the European Union permission yesterday to impose huge import tariffs, which will allow price increases of between 8 and 100 per cent on a range of goods. The row, which began when America imposed special duties of up to 30 per cent on European steel last year, reached a climax yesterday when the trade watchdog gave a final decision in favour of the EU. It said the US action was "inconsistent" with free trade commitments. Europe can now impose duties on products ranging from T-shirts and lavatory paper, to bras, pantyhose, suspenders, ballpoint pens, ski suits and bowling alley equipment. The EU says its sanctions, amounting to ¤2.2bn (£1.5bn) a year, will come into force on 15 December unless Washington drops its steel duties. The sanctions would be the biggest in the history of the WTO. Most of the affected imports face tariffs of 30 per cent on top of existing duties, though a small number will be set at 8 or 15 per cent and some at 100 per cent. President George Bush now faces a dilemma over whether to back down and remove the steel tariffs. The American government issued a statement yesterday saying that it disagreed with the ruling but would study it carefully. The WTO's decision comes at a sensitive time, with the US presidential campaign about to begin in earnest. In drawing up its list of sanctions, the EU has deliberately selected products from states which are crucial to President Bush's electoral hopes. news.independent.co.uk Pres Shrub continues to star as the 'Worst-case-scenario-iser'.
