Moving toward a police state

greenspun.com : LUSENET : TimeBomb 2000 (Y2000) : One Thread

Diane, You might find this story of interest. This is what I have been talking about. This is why some of us are not ashamed to be called Patriots. This is the reason why the "Evil Militia" has been labeled as such. Just to let you and everyone else know, the "Evil Militia Types" have been sounding the y2k alarm before Ed published his y2k book. I learned about y2k back in early 97, from the Patriot Movement. Be careful who you demonize.

Moving toward a police state

Executive orders ... national emergencies ... a domestic "commander-in-chief" ... the threat of terrorism and weapons of mass destruction. ....

Go to WorldNetDaily and read this editorial.

I KNEW IT I KNEW IT I KNEW IT! Clinton is not the moron he makes out to be.That's why his wife doesn't leave, that's why the War Powers thread scared me so badly. That's why Bill is pushing terrorism. He learned well from the history of Hitler. That's why he is poo pooing the y2k issue. sh*& p&*s da&*!!!!! I think it's way past time for all of the militia groups to get connected. The hand writing is on the wall, and I ain't going to the party! Son of a B^%$*! Lock and Load, The gloves come off!!!!!!

If you want to see something that will really make you cry, check out the news articles at www.bloodtrail.com/news.

Sorry, i can't do hypertext yet.

Especially look at this one. http://www.bloodtrail.com/news/parkerreprint.html.

Who cares about Monica, when Clinton has killed thousands of Canadians, and possibly thousands (don't know how many) of Americans?

I thought this man couldn't shock me any more. I was wrong. There is no end to his perfidy.

Sure, Clinton's a dictator wanna-be, but you all make a serious mistake, you are thinking too traditionally, when you focus on a given individual , Clinton or anybody else. Talk about a "systemic" problem (to use Gary North's favorite phrase). Our gradual devolution to a police state is propelled, not by one unscrupulous individual (Clinton), in fact it would be almost reassuring if one man could have that kind of effect in TODAY'S world. No, our headlong rush to either the world of 1984 (jackboot model) or Brave New World (soma model) is propelled by the following inexorable pressures:

- increasing population

- increasing technology

- finite natural world

The trend to a police state would continue unabated if Clinton were convicted, removed, and replaced by Dan Quayle or Rush Limbaugh or anybody other individual you all might like, today.

Well obviously Clinton is not alone, I've always maintained that nothing would ever happen to him as long as he had the backing. Ever feel like Mel Gibson in Conspiracy Theory? I do. OK new scenerio. y2k comes the terrorists hit all those non-compliant systems. We (they) must strike back! It turns out to be Timothy McVey's group, and they are in the hills of Arkansas! Oops. But they were bad too. Oklahoma! Oops, but they were connected! Wyoming-Montana! Big battle we can see it on CNN. See how the Apache helecopters come in at night and tear up the compounds of those radicals! Found another group of militants in Colorado! Under the guise of helpful community minded citizens. The Cassandra Group was finally linked to the ciber-terrorists. Many terrorists have been found individually in the rural areas, they have been arrested and charged with terrorism. The masses go back to sleep. BELIEVE IT!!

Sandy, it was my friends brother, he has no problem with it. I do.

IMHO, Republicans have wasted their credibility by attacking Clinton for trivial stuff like sex scandal lying and pumping it up to try to make that appear to be some threat to the nation remediable only by removal of the President. They are fooling very few citizens. By these mean-spirited, clearly politically-motivated attacks, they have now drained themselves of the moral authority that would be better put to use in alerting the public about the issue of presidenial emergency powers.

Furthermore, recent off-the-mark accusations of unconstitutionality of some EOs (notably, EO 13083 and EO 13117) also divert credibility from those attacking those EOs to those who point out that accusations of, for example, EO 13083's repealing the Tenth Amendment arise from either ignorance or willful deceit of the attackers.

Of course, if current Congressional Republicans did succeed in curbing those emergency powers, then future Republican presidents would not have access to them. That might be a strong disincentive for Republicans to attack the emergency powers, mightn't it, hmmmm ... ?

nospam, Hate to argue BUT, ya think maybe they know? Ya think maybe they are in on it? Ya think maybe that's why they are doing it? to keep the masses off track? To give them a live soap opera filled with sex and scandal, and now violence, so the masses have something to chat about at lunch. Ya think that maybe the powers behind the throne have decided that it's time? We are sufficiently tranquilized? Some of us may get the conspiracy, but not enough to matter! Not enough to become organized and be a substantial opponent."We'll give them some y2k news-interject some terrorism-prepare them for a formidable enemy that they won't have to really worry about. And do what we want to do! Squash any uprising, quietly destroy any infrastructure that militia groups may have formed. Clean up the stragglers. Hell broadcast some of it, so the masses have an enemy to be horrified of!" This will not be a matter of survival, (I used to think it would)it will be a matter of freedom. or death

Thank You Sam,

At least now, I know I'm not the only one out here who believes the government is the conspiracy !!!!!!

About the friend's brother......My youngest son(22) is in the service......that's why I wanted to talk to you more re the chip. I realize there's not much I can do, but I would like more info, so as to warn/discuss this with my son.......He's in GERMANY!!!!!!!

Sandy

Tried to email you, something went wrong. I was in the service during vietnam, volunteered for it. didn't go Tell your son from me to him. If he enlisted with the idea of preserving freedom, Now is a real good time to reconfirm what side he is on. The enemy has creeped in and the blood will be on OUR soil once again. I thank you for the info that opened my eyes, I pray that you never have to kill,BUT I also pray that you don't fall like sheep. Don't know much else about the chips the boy just confirmed it in passing. He promised he would walk if asssigned to "local duty" But that most of his counterparts won't. Life has become so sad.

Sam,

>ya think maybe they know? Ya think maybe they are in on it? Ya think maybe that's why they are doing it? to keep the masses off track? To give them a live soap opera filled with sex and scandal, and now violence, so the masses have something to chat about at lunch.

So you're claiming that the whole Republican Party (in addition to the Democrats) is part of the conspiracy?

>Ya think that maybe the powers behind the throne have decided that it's time?

I think a lot of people are attributing magical powers to the year 2000, or otherwise thinking magically about the situation, and this makes the non-magical Y2k computer problems tougher to handle.

Nospam, That was nicely said, but what exactly do you mean? You stated in an earlier thread that you knew about the War Powers being enacted a long time ago. That you wrote to your congressman, and he wasn't concerned. So now you aren't either? Why, because nothing has happened so far? That a bunch of power hungry individuals couldn't unite in secret? That individuals (such as Sen Kennedy) who have no clue how normal people live, might grab for the power ring when it's offered to them? Please, if you don't mind, explain your beliefs.

-- sam (we're@theend.com), January 26, 1999.

Sam,

Actually, he joined to build a College Fund........Ironically enough, I'm wondering now, if he will ever get the chance to go back to college........Got sent to Germany right after AIT, 2 yr stint, left Jul 98........Really sad.......

He's the only one of 4 who was interested in College, and now will probably NEVER get the opportunity.......

Do try to mail me again

Sandy

Sam,

Thanks for the mail......tried to send you something back, but since I didn't see any address, have my doubts it will fly.......I won't bite, and I'm just trying to get info on this because of concern for my son......

Thanks, Sandy

Sam,

>You stated in an earlier thread that you knew about the War Powers being enacted a long time ago.

What I wrote there was in response to questions about whether the government had been "hiding" information. My point was that the text of public laws and regulations was available to those who sought it (but most people don't seek it).

>That you wrote to your congressman, and he wasn't concerned. So now you aren't either?

I'm concerned about a lot of things, but I can't fight every battle. None of us can. I choose some. You choose others.

>That individuals (such as Sen Kennedy) who have no clue how normal people live, might grab for the power ring when it's offered to them?

Such as Pres. Nixon? "Dirty tricks", fancy uniforms for the White House guards, wage/price controls, ...

Power is bipartisan.

I came in late to this thread, and there's obviously a lot of inside conversation going on here. But, here's my 2 cents worth.

I think that the far right Republicans WHO I FIND COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY DISGUSTING AND DETESTABLE , the ones who are REALLY out to get Clinton WHO I ALSO FIND COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY DISGUSTING AND DETESTABLE want to create the conditions for an American dictatorship.

Clinton is not some dictator wanna-be who's going to be making a grab for dictatorial power (although that may just be a bonus for him). He's a lackey for the international financial elite who have already grabbed power and plan on consolidating it further. The far right want to destroy the internationalists, but they don't want to destroy the possibility of an American dictatorship at the same time. Clinton plays the game so well, that he makes some of the far right's agenda his own and makes them look like the idiots that they are. He also makes HIMSELF look like an idiot, furthering the internationalist agenda of disintegrating national pride and sovereignty.

The far right can't go after his power-grab, they want to leave that open for their own use. So they go after stupid things. And, by doing that, they are helping along the internationalists agenda. That's why they are so frustrated. They just can't get it right.

The "Liberal Media" is a myth; it's internationalist. The right/radical underground sees what's going on, and they are painted as dangerous looney terrorists by the internationalist media. The right Republicans can't touch them either. They would love a police state, but we're headed into a police world.

Like I said, that was 2 cents worth. You get what you pay for.

-- pshannon (pshannon@inch.com), January 27, 1999.


Wow, pshannon are you e coli in disguise? Great post. Clinton and Republicans have a "fatal attraction" for one another, yes. "The (Republicans) would love a police state, but we're headed into a police world." True. The China (international) connection was not touched because it is the "third rail" of what is happening in Washington. What was touched (and I'm not trying to be humorous) was trivial BY COMPARISON. Deep down, the nation knows this, even though it too is disgusted with Clinton.

-- BigDog (BigDog@duffer.com), January 27, 1999.

Polic State - um, we're already in one.

Pshannon - for once we agree completely.
