U.S. Moves Closer to Fascism Comment by Larry Ross, October 3, 2006 The following article by Dr. Richard Franklin goes a long way toward describing the rapid decline toward a U.S. version of fascism; the new fascist type of laws; and the growing dictatorial powers of .President Bush. More than anything it shows how easily Americans can be persuaded to give up their hard-won rights and freedoms and be herded toward a Orwell world.
Even the neocon Bush regime must be amazed at how easy it has been to convert America. Bush is working toward an authoritarian control over the American population. He'll need that if he is to launch a pre-emptive nuclear war against Iran, based on a "False Flag" 9/11 event where Iran is blamed for a terrorist attack on the U.S.. Using strict controls he will be able to suppress criticism and dissent about his actions in launching a nuclear war based on lies, false accusations and false evidence. The mass U.S. propaganda media will repeat the lies, and help suppress criticism.
If they refuse to print any questioning evidence, comment, statements or even letters to the editor, they will be able to pretend there is no such comment or criticism.
There is likely to be almost total popular belief in the truth of a "False Flag" attack on the U.S. naming Iran as responsible. The big lie will prevail again, much as it did when Hitler burned down the Reichstag in 1933. On the basis of that "False Flag" operation Hitler was able to install a German dictatorship and launch a series of wars based on lies - all exactly as George Bush is continuing to do. Hitler's wars killed 50 million. How many will Bush kill? The fundamental difference is that Bush has enough sheer destructive force to wipe out all opposition anywhere in the world and even the world itself many times over. No human being has ever had that kind of power before. New American laws make it legal for Bush to do as he likes. If his heart's desire is God's Armageddon, as predicted in Revelation, he has the power and legal authority to start a war process that could bring it about.
What would an imaginary extra-terrestrial observer think of the supposedly intelligent species doing what we are doing to our only home and our enormous preparations to do much worse?
I think the observer would wonder why there is such a lack of concern shown by this intelligent species in the horrible fate it has prepared for itself and why they let themselves be so easily taken over by a religiously-deluded maniac. Or "devil" as Hugo Chavez called Bush at the United Nations. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sent by: EvPeters8@aol.com thanks Evan. ARE WE ENTERING AMERICA'S DARKEST HOUR? by Dr. Richard Franklin, October 3, 2006 The passage of what can only be described as neofascist laws that dramatically undermine the American system of jurisprudence strikes me as a momentous bellwether. [1] On top of this stunning event in American history, Attorney General Gonzales has issued a warning to all federal judges not to meddle with the newly garnered dictatorial powers of the president. [2] I BELIEVE THIS DIRECTIVE IS A SERIOUS WARNING.
So, you ask, what could happen to a judge snubbing his nose at this warning? Here's what might happen: any judge ignoring such an implied threat of retribution might find himself actually facing an 'in camera' hearing during which the judge would find himself summarily impeached and removed from the bench.
'In camera' means 'in a chamber'. The term is applied to hearings held secretly in a courtroom or judicial chambers. I absolutely do not put it
past the cabal to stamp out judicial opposition using this blunt fascist maneuver. Would it be legal? Of course not, but legality long ago stopped being a consideration for the ruling cabal. The PNAC ("Plan for a New American Century") gang members almost certainly are feeling their oats after their stunning victories on Capitol Hill.
They just might feel that now is the time to strike powerfully against what they see as an annoying American jurisprudence, and to do so with stunning forcefulness and secrecy before the country can even grasp what has happened. It is now apparent that a namby pamby Congress would not stand in the way of a move to crush the judiciary.
CONSIDER THAT BUSH WILL NOW HAVE THE POWER TO DECLARE ANY DEFENSE ATTORNEY
IN AMERICA AN 'ENEMY COMBATANT' AND THEN DISAPPEAR HIM OR HER FOREVER.
That fundamentally cripples justice in America. So where does the cabal go from there? Use your imagination. A final trampling of the judicial branch strikes me as likely, now that the cabal has steamrolled the legislative branch of government.
BE HONEST ABOUT WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO THIS COUNTRY
One can hardly overly inflate one's speculations at this time in American history if as I suspect we now may be entering America's darkest hour.
I know this may seem like wild guessing, but it's about time we started being honest about what has happened to this country.
Please understand that I'm not predicting anything. I'm only painting possible scenarios that may have seemed totally mad not so long ago, but now seem perilously close to being possible. This is an extraordinarily perilous moment in American history. Anybody who can't see that is wearing blinders. We are now all sitting on the deck of Lusitania, while an orchestra plays to calm our fears.
I repeat, the Attorney General of the United States has warned federal judges not to meddle with the new powers of the president. I cannot remember an AG ever warning judges not to tamper with the expanding powers of a president. That warning has to be characterized as ominous.
Keep in mind that the cabal killed three thousand citizens on 9/11 without a twitching of moral conscience. Hence, the cabal that is now in control of this nation quite possibly sees a complete transmuting of America into a fascist state within their grasp.
They need only cross the Rubicon.
Think about it. [3]-[14]
Warmest Regards,
Richard Franklin
