Preface: After writing for over three years, I consider this to be the most important Op-Ed I have ever written; forget who I am and please concentrate on the facts and the evidence contained herein – and then form your own opinion. I am only the messenger, but the facts speak for themselves, and our nation faces a grave crisis that the majority of the population doesn’t even know exists.

Countless millions of Americans are asking themselves, their Congress, and even their local newspapers why Congress seems to be in collusion with The Bush administration, even though they have violated our Constitution, The Bill of Rights, our Rule of Law, stand in utter contempt of Congress, violate international laws and treaties with impunity – yet a Congress that is empowered and has the duty to impeach these traitors and tyrants still abdicate their sworn duty to uphold the very constitutional values they were voted into office to protect – yet they stand mute and appear to be complicit with the eventual downfall of our democratic republic; Why? Millions are asking these questions, voicing their outrage, and still nothing of substance is being accomplished to halt our nation from falling into tyranny and utter chaos – and most of us stand in disbelief while Bush and Cheney shred everything that once made the United States the great nation it used to be, and now we watch as our economy is literally falling apart! LINK

Until a few days ago, I was one of those Americans that were asking all of these questions, and more – even editorializing on Nancy Pelosi’s idiotic stand on “taking impeachment off the table” and generally condemning our Congress for their lack of courage and inaction as we face the downfall of the world’s foremost democratic society. LINK LINK We know that Bush’s illegal wiretapping began the second month he was in office, and now because of a patriotic Whistle-blower who had the courage to tell the truth, we also know that the Bush administration was not tracking so-called Internet traffic and calls that were based in other countries, but that ALL Internet and possibly phone communication as well within the United States was being quietly fed into NSA’s surveillance system(s), and yes, that includes privileged information from attorneys, Congressmen/women, and every other citizen of the United States! LINK

Even before the 2006 Mid-term elections, I had a firm belief that President Bush, aided by Cheney and his co-conspirators in the NSA were wiretapping members of Congress and actually blackmailing them into submission. Then, it was a suspicion, and as a matter of public record, I had already secretly provided a Democrat in Florida with conclusive evidence that CIFA was in violation of their mandated functions, and I was assured that information and evidence was forwarded to members of Congress in late 2005 or early 2006. Then, after I interviewed Joe Roberts, who was running against Jeff Miller in the Florida Panhandle region, my suspicions were also mirrored by a Democrat running for office in the US Senate. LINK Unfortunately, I wish that was the only serious issue we must deal with, however, just a few days ago I found, quite by accident, or because of the clever actions of Rob Kall, the Editor of Op-Ed News, who included a link on an article that had nothing to do with politics in a piece I had written on CNN and their oversimplification of the Super-Volcano at Yellowstone National Park. LINK (Or so I thought… Rob knows that I’m extremely inquisitive, and that I’d follow a link that didn’t appear to relate to my article – so to him I am grateful that he inspired this important editorial.)

The link that Rob Kall associated with my story was this:

NSPD-51 and the Potential for a Coup d’Etat by National Emergency

By William H. White

October 30, 2007

Can you think of anyone better than George W. Bush with whom to entrust the dictatorial powers hinted at in NSPD-51? Or perhaps you are unwilling to trust anyone with such powers, even Bush. That is not a option in NATIONAL SECURITY PRESIDENTIAL DIRECTIVE 51 (NSPD-51), signed by Bush and released without comment by the White House on May 9, 2007. To quote from NSPD-51: “This policy establishes ‘National Essential Functions,’ prescribes continuity requirements for all executive departments and agencies, and provides guidance for State, local, territorial, and tribal governments, and private sector organizations in order to ensure a comprehensive and integrated national continuity program that will enhance the credibility of our national security posture and enable a more rapid and effective response to and recovery from a national emergency.” What one would expect, but for some additional details.

Under NSPD-51, only limited ‘National Essential Functions’ of government will continue, which may or may not include Congress and the courts. NSPD-51 assures us: “Enduring Constitutional Government means a cooperative effort among the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of the Federal Government, coordinated by the President, as a matter of comity with respect to the legislative and judicial branches…” This “matter of comity,” which usually refers to the informal and voluntary recognition of jurisdiction among courts, is a troublesomely ambiguous phrase in this context wherein the president determines this as he “coordinates.”

Unfortunately, NSPD-51 provides limited “guidance” to state and local governments, because it revoked the then existing Presidential Decision Directive 67 of October 21, 1998 (“Enduring Constitutional Government and Continuity of Government Operations”), including “all Annexes thereto.” And replaced them with NSPD-51, along with: “Annex A and the classified Continuity Annexes, attached hereto.” But then the rabbit disappears as NSPD-51 soldiers on: “This directive and the information contained herein shall be protected from unauthorized disclosure, provided that, except for Annex A, the Annexes attached to this directive are classified and shall be accorded appropriate handling, consistent with applicable Executive Orders.” In other words, all the details are secret and even the non secret “Annex A” remains undisclosed by the White House. MUCH MORE

If you don’t read another word of this editorial, above all, please follow the above link and read the article in its entirety, as it is the foremost threat to our way of life and the very essence of freedom as we know it in the United States! Also, it vividly offers an extremely valid assumption/speculation/hypothesis on why Congress may be actually afraid to instigate actual impeachment proceeding’s against President Bush and Vice-President Dick Cheney. In fact, there is one more paragraph which must be reproduced to urge anyone reading this article to keep reading to understand the extreme jeopardy this unholy directive places our entire society in jeopardy – and could end freedom as we know it and allow President Bush to become nothing less than a dictator with the sole power to rule our country with the iron fist of tyranny – effectively destroying our democracy, probably irreparably, and for that reason, this is a must-read paragraph:

This almost entirely secret directive can be invoked when the president decides “any incident, regardless of location, that results in extraordinary levels of mass casualties, damage, or disruption severely affecting the U.S. population, infrastructure, environment, economy, or government functions” occurred. Bush alone will decide when he must assume this burden, though surely only upon prayerful contemplation during the time saved not having to consult Congress. In addition, because of a change to the Insurrection Act of 1807, enacted as part of the 439-page 2007 Defense Authorization Bill signed into law in October 2006, Bush need no longer obtain a governor’s consent to take control of a state’s national guard units. This same bill overturns the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878, which limited the use of US military forces within the United States for law enforcement. In addition, Bush issued an executive order on July 17, 2007 authorizing the government to seize the assets of anyone “undermining efforts to promote economic reconstruction and political reform in Iraq” under provisions of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. Could this include critics of the Iraq war, whom Bush has repeatedly accused of undermining the war effort? LINK

If you take into consideration that President Bush has again circumvented the checks and balances demanded by our Constitution and rule of law, and that this directive is so secretive that even members of Congress are barred from viewing it – who doubts that it contains items that Congress would immediately disapprove of and demand they be quashed; no President has the legal authority to bypass the US Congress, nor does he have the right to make directives so draconian that in an effort to keep his plans hidden, he is again defying Congress and refusing to comply with the law of the land. When you start comprehending the actual danger our democratic republic is in, after reading the directive (or what we have been able to ascertain of its contents) it’s obvious the implied threat of this secret directive is having a negative impact on our Congress, and I strongly believe it’s not a stretch that Bush will attempt to enact this directive if a serious effort is made at impeaching him, and Congress appears to be “hoping” that he will step-down after the 2008 elections rather than addressing this issue and attempting to negate its possible impact.

First and foremost for the people to consider is that President’s don’t create directives if they aren’t expecting to someday place them into motion, and when one is written so that Bush can enact it purely at his sole discretion – especially when such an air of secrecy has been attached that could make Bush an instant Dictator, effectively taking-over our country. It is true, detention camps are being built and renovated across the United States, and we the people have to question why so many are being built, and especially the secrecy that surrounds the entire project:

Homeland Security Contracts for Vast New Detention Camps

News Analysis/Commentary, Peter Dale Scott,
New America Media, Feb 08, 2006

Editor’s Note: A little-known $385 million contract for Halliburton subsidiary KBR to build detention facilities for “an emergency influx of immigrants” is another step down the Bush administration’s road toward martial law, the writer says.

BERKELEY, Calif.–A Halliburton subsidiary has just received a $385 million contract from the Department of Homeland Security to provide “temporary detention and processing capabilities.”

“Almost certainly this is preparation for a roundup after the next 9/11 for Mid-Easterners, Muslims and possibly dissenters,” says Daniel Ellsberg, a former military analyst who in 1971 released the Pentagon Papers, the U.S. military’s account of its activities in Vietnam. “They’ve already done this on a smaller scale, with the ‘special registration’ detentions of immigrant men from Muslim countries, and with Guantanamo.”

It is clear that the Bush administration is thinking seriously about martial law.
Many critics have alleged that FEMA’s spectacular failure to respond to Katrina followed from a deliberate White House policy: of paring back FEMA, and instead strengthening the military for responses to disasters.

A multimillion program for detention facilities will greatly increase NORTHCOM’s ability to respond to any domestic disorders. MUCH MORE

These “detention camps” are now interspersed throughout the United States, and many of them are already manned with personnel to run the facilities. LINK

I believe that there are two (s) factors that have Congress essentially hog-tied and ineffective; first, I still believe that the NSA under Bush and Cheney’s guidance have spied on, gathered derogatory information, and much like the days when J. Edgar Hoover was holding much of Washington hostage by the enormous dossiers that he had gathered on his perceived adversaries – the same practice is being used by the Bush administration today, and that may partially explain why they refuse to act in the best interests of the country. Second, with the Congress possibly fearful that Bush will engineer an emergency to suspend the Constitution if they instigate serious impeachment efforts – it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to acknowledge that even Congress is faced with a danger they may not have the fortitude or wherewithal to respond to effectively, and on both matters, “we the people” can offer them a solution. Yes, in spite of the enormous planning Bush and his Neo-cons, corporations, and the radical religious-right have engineered, their plan is not unstoppable – and there is a way to effectively negate these plans that have taken decades to finally be a threat to America – Again!. (Read: Like Father, Like Son – and Grandfather Prescott too! and you will understand this is not the first time a Bush family member and corporate America, as well as our “dynasty families” have attempted to overthrow our government.)

Time grows short, and just yesterday, it was revealed that once again, Vice President Dick Cheney has been attempting to force our various intelligence agencies to remove dissenting opinions from the NIE in regard Iran and its nuclear programs – which was actually ready for publication a year ago, but the White House wouldn’t accept it because it didn’t agree with their attempts to once again, make the intelligence fit their plans to ultimately attack Iran:

Cheney Tried to Stifle Dissent in Iran National Intelligence Estimate

By Gareth Porter

WASHINGTON, Nov 8 (IPS) – A National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) on Iran has been held up for more than a year in an effort to force the intelligence community to remove dissenting judgments on the Iranian nuclear programme, and thus make the document more supportive of U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney’s militarily aggressive policy toward Iran, according to accounts of the process provided by participants to two former Central Intelligence Agency officers.

But this pressure on intelligence analysts, obviously instigated by Cheney himself, has not produced a draft estimate without those dissenting views, these sources say. The White House has now apparently decided to release the unsatisfactory draft NIE, but without making its key findings public.

A former CIA intelligence officer who has asked not to be identified told IPS that an official involved in the NIE process says the Iran estimate was ready to be published a year ago but has been delayed because the director of national intelligence wanted a draft reflecting a consensus on key conclusions — particularly on Iran’s nuclear programme.

The NIE coordinates the judgments of 16 intelligence agencies on a specific country or issue. MUCH MORE

Thankfully, this information didn’t escape the attention of Dennis Kucinich, and he has already written a letter to House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers Jr. and stated that impeaching VP Dick Cheney may be the only way to prevent an eventual war with Iran:

Congressman Kucinich writes letter to Judiciary Committee head supporting impeachment of Vice President Cheney

11/10/2007 @ 10:32 am
Filed by RAW STORY

On Friday, as the embattled legislation is pushed into committee, Congressman Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) wrote to House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers Jr. (D-MI) in support of H. Res 799, Articles of Impeachment of Vice President Dick Cheney.

Text of the letter appears below.

I am writing in support of H. Res. 799, the Articles of Impeachment which were referred to the committee relative to the Impeachment of the Vice President of the United States of America.

Recent reports indicate that the Vice President is attempting to shape the National Intelligence Estimate on Iran to conform to his misperceptions about the threat Iran actually poses. Much like his deceptive efforts in the lead up to the Iraq war, the Vice President appears to be manipulating intelligence to conform to his beliefs. MORE

Even though the possibility of impeaching Dick Cheney is encouraging, the fact is, such an action may be placing us in grave danger of Bush enacting this semi-secret directive and purposely creating a set of circumstances so he can use it, thus derailing any serious impeachment effort. I am not stating that the fear of him declaring martial law is a reason to suspend such efforts, in fact, to the contrary, I advocate going full-steam ahead – but with our eyes wide-open into the possible consequences of such an action, and what we as a nation can do to stop Bush from derailing legal and appropriate Congressional action! There are different messages of action and encouragement to each of our several branches of governmental entities that must be stated, and an understanding of what each of these parties, including what the people themselves can do to help circumvent Bush or Cheney derailing our Congress from meeting this daunting challenge head-on, and each will be addressed to the appropriate entities:

To the People of the United States:

I am addressing this message to the “average American”, those that inhabit the quickly disappearing Middle-class, lower Middle-class, and the poor of our country. We are the in the majority of this nation, and corporations exist not in spite of us, but because of our daily efforts and work that keeps this country functioning on an everyday basis. Corporations and special interest groups, while they exhibit the most influence on our Congress and even the President himself – none of them would exist if it were not for us, and if we choose to do so, working in unison and standing in solidarity – we have the power to change the course of history by simply exercising our rights of free speech, and taking the time to make sure this message is broadly disseminated to individuals and groups that can apply the necessary pressure to force Congress to heed our will.

1. Take the time to forward this message to your appropriate Congressional representatives, and if you choose to do so, add your own comments as to why it’s important that they act – and how to prevent our decent into utter tyranny. This action will only take a minute or two of your time. You have the right to DEMAND that Congress take action, not ask, as it is our country, not theirs. Remind them they can be voted out of office if they refuse to obey the will of the people.

2. For those of you that have the time, also make sure and send this message to your appropriate local newspapers and address them to the Editor, again demanding that they cover this issue with the importance that it is due. If enough of you do this, the papers will be forced to respond – or have to answer to angry subscribers who can threaten to discontinue their readership and support of those papers. Again, you can simply forward them a copy of this Editorial, and if enough of you take the time to act, they will be forced to respond. They too exist because of our support – which we can quickly stop if they refuse to listen and act accordingly.

3. If you listen to Air America, make a call and insist that they broadcast this message to everyone that will listen – and tell them that you support their efforts to help free us from the heel of oppression.

4. If you are a fan of Lou Dobbs, who many call a conservative, whether you like him or not, remember that he has doggedly plead the case for the “average American” and has valiantly attempted to support our cause and stop the outsourcing of our jobs and tirelessly speaks with clarity on the corruption that exists within the Bush administration. Don’t like Lou Dobbs, then send Jack Cafferty a quick message, and ask either of them why they have not addressed this critical issue, and request that they focus on the real danger to our democratic Republic.

5. If Keith Olbermann is your favorite, take a few moments to send him a message and request that he help to bring attention to this issue. Or, simply forward a copy of this Editorial to countdown@msnbc.com .

6. Finally, tell as many of your friends that remain unaware of this imminent danger, and ask then to participate in “taking back America.” Remember, the majority of Americans aren’t even aware of this absurd Presidential directive – and as always, knowledge is power, and so far, we have been complacent and none of us have yet acted in unison to stop President Bush from assuming complete control of our country. If you have followed the links and examined the evidence and facts yourself – by now you must be aware of the actual danger this directive poses to the very essence of freedom in America.

NOTE: Except for your local newspapers, if you click on the links I provided, you will instantly be connected to the appropriate way to contact all of the above named individuals.

To the Congress of The United States:

We understand the dilemma you face, however, there are many variables you must consider, and in Part 1 of this editorial, as with all others who will be impacted – I will be brief and attempt to articulate the hurdles you may face, and why the consequence may not be as dire as your have been led to believe. If this administration is holding embarrassing information over your heads to influence your votes and actions, please remember that we are a nation of laws, and Due Process and legal discovery are vital elements of our judicial system. Anything that the Bush administration may be holding over your heads has been illegally obtained, and therefore is null and void in a court of law – and therefore cannot legally be used against you.

If it is embarrassing information and you act to save this great nation from tyranny and oppression, the people will support you and demand that nothing of an incriminating nature be released to the media – and even if it was, Bush and Cheney have lost the trust of a nation, their credibility is shot, and the prospect of us believing them is probably of little or no real consequence. We know that those in Congress have even more evidence than we do – so remember that Big Brother is listening, and if you receive this editorial/essay – please take into consideration that you may represent the last chance of saving this nation from the tyrants and traitors that are busily attempting to overthrow our government.

This is a non-partisan issue, and we know that Republicans as well as Democrats are fearful of this Presidency, as are countless millions of Americans. Speak to your colleagues in confidence, poll those that you know who can be trusted, and for the moment, attempt to act in secrecy as you build momentum to impeach and remove these traitors from office. You all know that no real debate is necessary, as you in Congress are fully apprised of the many crimes that Bush and Cheney have perpetrated against this nation and the world; except for listing the actual charges, there is little or no debate necessary to impeach both of them in unison – and if you’re smart and build a coalition of support – The House and Senate could impeach these scoundrels in a matter of a couple of days, not weeks or months as most people believe.

The Congress is the “Payton Place” of politics, and members know who can be trusted and who cannot be – and springing this measure on the floor in the House unexpectedly, followed almost immediately by the Senate could result in a successful impeachment vote only if you act with the political acumen we know you possess. If a forest fire was burning fifteen miles from your homes, would you fight it while it was still containable – or would you wait until the flames were licking at your own doorsteps? We know by researching the above material that those flames are at our proverbial doorsteps, and unless Congress acts with courage and decisiveness – we all know that the face of this nation could change almost instantaneously from one of freedom and liberty to tyranny and dictatorship.

To the Republicans and GOP, I have special words for you; many of you recently overrode President Bush’s recent veto, joining in with Democrats in enacting a Bill that will truly benefit the people. Please remember how petty and vindictive this President actually is, and remember how he has thrown ardent and loyal supporters to the wolves when it served his purpose. He is loyal to no one but himself, and those of you whom voted your opposition against him may now be considered “enemies of the state” because you did stand-up against him, and you have no guarantee that you and your families won’t also be herded in the early hours of the morning into waiting railroad cars to be delivered to the nearest internment center. This President is petty, vicious, and is loyal only to power, greed, and the corporations who he constantly pays homage to rather than the people of this great nation.

The time to act is now, and whether it be from me, or someone else, the public will eventually be made aware of President Bush’s ulterior motive(s) and their many crimes – and the people will remember those who stood for tyranny and dictatorship, and those that had the courage to throw-off a tyrant and instead choose to represent the people – which is why you were all elected. Time is short, and it’s imperative that you look deep within your souls and make a choice – tyranny or freedom, and please keep in mind that America is watching your every move, and while we may be willing to forgive your past transgressions at this moment in history in order to save our nation – this same good will could just as easily evaporate if you choose to side with individuals that have chosen to disregard our constitution and Rule of Law.

This ends segment 1 of this Editorial, and I am hopeful that “the people” will act on this information that has been hidden from most of the public. The days of wine and roses are over, and while we would most likely grant any offender in Congress immunity if you act with courage and fortitude and rid this nation of its traitors; this mood of forbearance will disappear instantly if we find that thousands, or hundreds of thousands of innocent Americans have been hauled-off as political prisoners for simply exercising their belief in the constitutional values most Americans still cherish and respect.

William Cormier

Footnote: There is nothing of a seditious nature contained in this Editorial. I have simply suggested a way of using our own laws and constitution in a manner that will allow the successful impeachment of Bush and Cheney without giving them an excuse to enact NSPD-51 and escape from the rule of law and subsequent prosecution. I propose to do this in accordance with our current laws and there is no suggestion, either overt or implied of violence or revolution, as I am totally against either of those actions. I do agree that extraordinary means may be needed to save this democratic republic, but destroying it while attempting to do so would be counter-productive and would simply play into the hands of Bush and Cheney and allow them an excuse to declare martial law. Besides, it has taken over two-hundred years to build this great nation, and it was the “average American” that did it through blood, sweat and tears – and to act otherwise goes against everything I believe in as it pertains to this great nation. Corporations who exert immense power upon this government are treated like they are people, the most powerful in the world, who believe paying-off the government is the acceptable way to do business. A Government controlled by corporations, Dynasty families, and the Ultra-wealthy in any dictionary are the epitome of Fascism, and I would love to garner enough attention to debate this matter with anyone, including Fox News who I know distort the facts to serve the Bush administration and Rupert Murdoch, however the facts are on my side – and there simply isn’t a logical or legal explanation that can even be considered, unless it involves the concept of the “unitary Executive” which in plain English is a damn dictator! (Interesting. The Wikopedia entry on the “Unitary Executive” is essentially blank. Now we’ll see who gets to write this explanation, and I’m going to offer to take-on the job.

Segment two will address operation Falcon and contain messages for our National Guard, our intelligence services, the armed forces, and local and state law enforcement agencies whom are being trained to conduct a massive sweep in the dead of night to corral all of those whom this criminal government believe are “enemies of the state” – when in reality, if they seek the real enemy, they only have to gaze upon themselves in the nearest mirror.

I’m going to urge everyone to send their personal comments and request that this matter be brought-up in the media sources I offered links to in the hopes that this matter will get some airtime., possibly in a round table debate. The general public needs to know about these issues so they have the opportunity to act, and we could make that happen by spreading the word in anyway we can. Forwarding this article via email and adding your comments also speak volumes. As I’ve said in other articles, if someone has a better idea, then please, make a comment and we’ll discuss it, but my thoughts on this matter is that it’s serious enough that it needs to be addressed almost immediately – so if you have a better solution than mine, let’s discuss and make the necessary changes. A lot of us are going to carry much of the load, but no matter how you look it it, is a cause that makes many others look small. Also, if it comes up in a debate, I don’t want Democrats debating in behalf of an ideology the don’t share. I’m tired of “political correctness” and I want someone from the progressive,Liberal/or Independent side that will represent this issue with straight-forward talk minus the political rhetoric in almost any matter that is discussed in Washington, and who the tenacity and presence of mind to answer the right-wing commenter’s to appear biased and ignorant of the true facts that are driving this nation.

NOTE This Op-Ed is now published on Op-Ed News, Diatribe, CampusProgress.org, and hopefully, other sites will follow. This is our chance to make a difference, and this is the comment I made on Op-Ed News:

I believe deep in my heart that with the passage of these two Bills looming before us, we stand at the crux of losing our freedom(s) in America. To everyone, starting a movement that will rock the political spectrum isn’t that hard to do with a little work from everyone involved.

Email a copy of this to a friend, and ask them to carefully read both Op-Ed’s, and for them to become involved too. Anyone reading these two Op-Ed’s will know, in no uncertain terms, that our very freedom and democracy is at state, and we, the American people must act to stop this from happening.

If you believe that we need to take immediate action, please use the “Reddit” and “Digg” buttons so even more people will read this Op-Ed. On my site at the bottom of both pieces, there is a “Buzz button”, and if that goes 7 or eight buzzes higher, it will more than likely be published on BuzzFlash, and they also have a huge readership.

This should be a non-partisan issue. Saving the country from tyranny and dictatorship has to transcend the traditional party lines, and we as Americans must act in unison to quell this threat. Any support you can offer will bring us that much closer to “taking back America”, and now that we know Congress has failed us, there is nothing left but “we the people” to take back this nation. If you show your support for this type of a message to be sent to Congress and the White House, showing your support will assure that many more will read and understand that the time to take action is now, and that same old corny line is as true today as when it was first quoted:

United We Stand, Divided We Fall!

Let’s make this the time to stand-up for America and do something that is legal and within our rights to show Washington that “The People” have had enough. (You can “Buzz-it” from here, however, if you choose to hit the “reddit” or “Digg” button, please do it on Op-Ed News at this link, as they have a higher readership and are better able to handle the increased traffic if we join together and raise our voices in unison. (BuzzFlash is closed as for Part I, however Part II can be Buzzed here:LINK LINK

Absolutely Chilling!:

This is one of many comments from the Smirking Chimp, where this same Op-Ed is being discussed. I am reproducing this one comment because of its impact as I read it, and I hope it moves everyone the way it did me; what an astute and chilling observation!

Contemplating S1959

A deep and ominous boom is heard, the deck shakes and you know that another one of those impregnable watertight doors down far below has imploded. As a flood of icy sea water breaches yet another section of the ship, the deck tilts up perceptibly a few degrees further and the end is that much closer.

On this cold night I feel myself transported to a still quiet place somewhat aft of amidships and realize I have been absently playing with a piece of ice I picked up from the deck which landed there when the iceberg was initially struck. Looking at the situation now I am speechless, for once really without anything to say. What can one say in light of “The Violent Radicalization Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007”?

Not much. It was clear after the Patriot Acts and Military Commissions Act were implemented, and the Halliburton camps were erected, that at some time in the near future the wheels would be set into motion, in order to carry out a well prepared stratagem. What surprises me this night is the incredible surprise and the sudden cries of indignation, expressed in some quarters, concerning this development.

You didn’t really think they erected the Halliburton camps to keep chickens there, did you?

Tonight, as you look towards the bow of the vessel you are on and begin to contemplate the ice cold waters which await, you have also received your own special designation. Others were designated “enemy combatants” and lost all their rights. According to S1959, you will be designated “radical element” and I begin to wonder how many of your rights remain at this time. I would wager to say very, very few.

What is certain is that you and I and many others are in danger of being “investigated”, questioned and surreptitiously “removed” from the society we supposedly endanger. Be prepared to face provincial “kangaroo courts” run by fanatical and inherently idiotic cadres of right-wing adherents. They will show no mercy. Despite the winter, perhaps we will survive the journeys in the cattle cars.

Tonight, I can only shake my head. It happened over here not so long ago when Jews, Gypsies Communists, Unionists, homosexuals, artists, writers, the disabled and many others who dared to raise their heads were denounced, imprisoned and hauled off to fates we do not want to think of.

We know who the victims of S1959 will be. What happened then was their version under another name.
GreyRaven | Nov 29 2007 – 7:06pm | LINK

Sit and contemplate what he said, and then print some more copies of this and call Congress and everyone else you can think of with a renewed energy, one that befits the fate that may fall upon so many of us that have decided to choose freedom over tyranny and oppression.
