Too Many Parallels To Fascist States??

creepy snips:

the 2007 Defense Authorization Bill's Section 333 allows the president "to declare martial law and take charge of the National Guard troops without the permission of a governor when 'public order' has been lost" and to "send the guard into our streets during a public health emergency, terrorist attack or 'other condition.'"

"the president can designate people enemy combatants and detain them for whatever reason he wants there are no charges and prisoners have no lawyers, no family visits, no court reviews, no rights to anything, and no right to release until the mythical end to the 'war on terror.'"

In 1939, Hitler claimed he was attacked by Poland, igniting World War Two. Bush claimed that Iraq had nuclear and biological weapons to destroy America when, in fact, it was the United States that possessed those very weapons and it was Iraq that had none.

"Instead of everlasting struggle the world preaches cowardly pacifism, and everlasting peace. There is only one right in this world and this right is one's own strength." [guess who said that, and who might just as well have]

But racism against African Americans has largely been replaced with the foolhardy notion that Americans are better than everybody else in the world and have the authority to set right any ruler they believe is in error.

an ominous cloud of doubt has hung over the authenticity of the popular vote and a vast segment of the voting public today does not trust the election machinery to record their vote as they intend.

with each passing day in its "War on Terror" the Bush regime tightens its hold on the machinery to establish totalitarian rule here.

Americans need to keep in mind that worse than anything President Bush has inflicted upon its own citizenry is what its wars of aggression have inflicted on innocent humanity abroad. A million dead Iraqis can't give a damn by what terminology you describe the United States. If the American people allow their government to make criminal wars to deprive innocent foreigners of their lives and liberties they do not deserve to enjoy either at home.

[not to mention: terrorist alarms, torture, private armies, secret prisons, spying on and infliltration of citizen activist groups, "preventive detention," spying to intimidate and silence citizens, restrictions on travel, runaway militarism (43% of our tax dollars to the military, and amount equal to the entire rest of the world's military budget), wielding arbitrary and unilateral power]
