Naomi Wolf, wrote a really good book called "The end of America" great read, hard to deny her claims with some really good examples on how the historical fascist mechanisms work.


Increasingly, reputable figures are starting to talk about `a coup.' Jim Hightower notes in an important essay, "Is a Presidential Coup Under Way?," that a coup is defined in the dictionary as a sudden forced change in the form of government. (He also spells out the basis for a rigorously modeled impeachment and criminal prosecution.) Daniel Ellsberg's much-emailed speech on recent events notes that, in his view, a `coup' has already taken place. Ron Rosenbaum speculates in an essay on Slate about the reasons the Bush administration is withholding even from members of Congress its plans for Continuity of Government in an emergency -- noting that those worrying about a coup are no longer so marginal. Frank Rich notes the parallels between ourselves and the Good Germans. And Congress belatedly realizes as if waking from a drugged sleep that it might not be okay for the Attorney General to say the President need not obey the law. Congress may realize why Mukasey CAN'T say that `waterboarding is torture' -- the minute he does so he has laid the grounds for Bush, Cheney and any number of CIA and Blackwater interrogators to be tried and convicted for war crimes. They are so keenly aware that what they have been doing is criminal that laws such as the Military Commissions Act of 2006 have been drafted specifically to protect them and the torturers and murderers they have directed from criminal prosecution. That is why insisting that Mukasey say that waterboarding is torture is, in spite of the alarming apparent defection of Feinstein and Schumer, an important tactic and even the perfect opening for the impeachment bid that Kucinich is bringing on November 6th to be followed by Congressional investigations into possible criminality.

This is the "Blackwater Tactical Weekly." (Yes, Blackwater has its own weekly e-newsletter.) Look at "Islamist protest in N.Y. - 'Mushroom cloud on way'" -- it is reasonable to speculate that Blackwater is focusing on becoming more active domestically in managing domestic protests and rallies. (Regarding this particular rally, note the repetition of the White House `Mushroom Cloud' sound-bite and other signs bearing current White House talking points, that are attributed to alleged Muslim protesters in New York City. The US has a long history of using agents provocateurs -- people dressed as those they are targeting, who pose as conveying a more violent or threatening message than that of the real group itself or who commit acts of violence to stigmatize the group. The Cointelpro program of the 1970's discredited many rallies in this way. An alleged or infiltrated violent, threatening Muslim rally would be the perfect defensible trigger for a Blackwater response.)

Someone needs to email her that she needs to either get Hitlery KKKlinton to sign this:
http://www.nytimes.com/2007/10/28/opinion/l28clinton.html?_r=1&oref=slogin

or withdraw her support from that would be tyrant and give it to Dr. Paul.

Until she does one of those things, she is nothing to me but a shill (and a good actor) whose agenda is to make Attillary look like a civil libertarian by association (similar to what they're doing to Dr. Paul with the Stormfront "endorsement") and roll up all those who oppose the police state (who would be sorry they didn't see through Billary). I coined "purifying the swamp" to name the disinfo technique.

Wolf was a high-level consultant on Clinton's reelection campaign as well as on the Gore/Lieberman (you know, the same Lieberman, who says "we" have to go after "Islamofascists and is 100% behind every police state measure Wolf cries crocodile tears about) campaign. "The end of America" is an odd title for someone who helped get reelected someone who was directly responsible for its deconstruction. Clinton presided over an unprecedented expansion of the Federal police state, not to mention the incineration of the children Waco compound, the Randy Weaver siege and this

She doesn't seem to mind police state tactics so long as the targets are "right wing extremists" and "gun nuts".

Interesting reply, thanks - I havent followed her that closely.

She did comment on Dr. Paul in one of her talks promoting her book, but it wasnt anything special. Just that he hd signed the freedom act thing being referenced i think
