Any of us who have lived in America for a while have observed many changes over the years. I have watched America get into wars undeclared, called Police Actions. I grew up in a relatively safe area in middle-class Sacramento, California and never did parents worry about their children being abducted or caught by crazy people shooting up schools or fast-food joints. Our constitution was taken for granted and worthy of support. No one was overtly undermining our constitutional protections or trying to push freedoms irresponsibly in an offensive way toward others. Terrorism was unheard of, never once in the 50's did I ever hear of people willing to blow themselves up in order to cause harm to others. If any of that was going on in some part of the world it didn't filter down to my childhood in Sacramento.
Other than the press trying to scare us into building bomb shelters in our back yards because the Russians or later Castro's regime would nuke us, it felt fairly safe.
The government seemed worthy of trust overall. For me that became questionable with the JFK assassination, Martin Luther King assassination and the Bobby Kennedy assassination. The entire "magic bullet" explanation was as bogus as the BS explanations about the Twin Towers. It seems with enough media control any lie is possible to sell to Americans. Only the educated few can see where it is headed. Sadly the quality of education has diminished over the last hundred years for the most part under the guise of "government guaranteed free education to all." It is far easier to pull the wool over the eyes of people who are uneducated.
The most recent losses of liberty in America in order to "protect" Americans from terrorism is a dire sign from history. Please see the following video or read the book mentioned. For good measure read also "Rule by Secrecy," by Jim Marrs.
Naomi Wolf on The Fascist Blueprint — It can happen here
It not only can happen here, it is happening here.
Mussolini created the blueprint (with inspiration from Lenin), Hitler elaborated on it, Stalin studied Hitler.
Here's how it works (notice how many Bush & Co. is using now.):
1. Invoke a terrifying internal and external enemy
2. Create a gulag [a political labor camp for the imprisonment of dissidents]
3. Develop a thug caste
4. Set up an internal surveillance system
5. Harass citizens' groups
6. Engage in arbitrary detention and release
7. Target key individuals
8. Control the press
9. Dissent equals treason
10. Suspend the rule of law
Wolf's conclusion? Impeachment of Bush and Cheney is not enough. Prosecuting (and jailing) them for crimes committed is the only rational solution.
As far as I am concerned, this doesn't go far enough. The actual people who are in treason to this county are those selling it out by playing their games of protecting their vast personal resources and influencing our international policy through the CFR (Council on Foreign Relations). The big banking leaders with their grand schemes and secret societies undermine what Americans would choose had they correct information in the first place, are all traitors and subverters of the constitution and what used to be proudly known as the American Way of Life. Heed the words in this video and educate yourself before America is no longer free and such material is banned.
JFK knew the potential problem and clearly states it in the following audio.
