What happens when the voice of dissent sheds light on the truth and knocks on the door of the root of a problem? What grows when that level of dissent is directed at a powerful government structure run on the fumes of false fear? Why has there been such a sharp increase in the number of deaths while under police custody? Why do our local police now look like paramilitaries waiting to take over a town center from extremists? When people so much as question their government why does that become motive enough for arrest, beating, and detention? How can our government systematically take away our rights and grant themselves exemption? The questions as to where America is headed could go on for a very long time, but what is needed is an understanding and an answer to follow those questions.
In her book The End of America Naomi Wolf outlines 10 steps of how to turn a democracy into a fascist state. She tells us that there is a blueprint written by all the 'greats': Mussolini, Stalin, Hitler and followed by other smaller dictators like Pinochet and others. She writes that each of these 10 steps have been initiated in America. All blockquotes are from the above cited article of Naomi Wolf.
1. Invoke a terrifying internal and external enemy
After we were hit on September 11 2001, we were in a state of national shock. Less than six weeks later, on October 26 2001, the USA Patriot Act was passed by a Congress that had little chance to debate it; many said that they scarcely had time to read it. We were told we were now on a "war footing"; we were in a "global war" against a "global caliphate" intending to "wipe out civilisation". There have been other times of crisis in which the US accepted limits on civil liberties, such as during the civil war, when Lincoln declared martial law, and the second world war, when thousands of Japanese-American citizens were interned. But this situation, as Bruce Fein of the American Freedom Agenda notes, is unprecedented: all our other wars had an endpoint, so the pendulum was able to swing back toward freedom; this war is defined as open-ended in time and without national boundaries in space - the globe itself is the battlefield. "This time," Fein says, "there will be no defined end."
Naomi notes that our government increased the fear factor of this event and used hyped language to push the beginning of their fascist agenda. However, Naomi agrees to the truth of this event and the real threat of Islamic terrorism. Is there really a threat of Islamic terrorism or is it really a state terrorism? Was 9/11 an inside job?
A conservative republican who could not reconcile with the fact that the explanation of the World Trade Center Towers' collapse was officially caused by impact and fire has made a documentary called 9/11 Mysteries. Watch the 12 part series on Youtube here as Brad's documentary uses science and history to prove the official collapse theory wrong and makes frightening discoveries that hint at an inside job, a fabricated terrorist threat. The corporate interests involved before and after the collapse are absolutely disgusting. "No steel-framed building before or since 9/11 has collapsed due to fire. What happened to the Twin Towers that caused them to come down? This video takes you through popular myth into science for a new understanding of the possibilities."
In the Spring of 2001, "reporting on terrorism surged dramatically,"notes the 9/11 Commission Report (204), "[...] none of these [reports] pointed specifically to possible al Qaeda action inside the United States - although the CSG [Counterterrorism Security Group] continued to be concerned about the domestic threat." This surge in threat reports came from none other than the Counterterrorist Center (CTC) established under the Reagan administration. The CTC collects information only abroad. What better place to fabricate a threat than the Counterterrorist Center? Another interesting note - the security firm, no longer in existence, that handled security at the WTC, Dulles Airport, and United Airlines was Securacom, where the youngest Bush son sat on the Board of Directors. Everything that we have been told about 9/11 makes no sense. The truth is slowly being uncovered.
I will follow Naomi Wolf's "ten steps" and provide my own research and analysis of what we might be seeing happen to the America that we used to know and love. Watch for the next steps coming soon. In the meantime be sure to do your own research, ask questions, and don't accept anything merely because you are told by your government or "authority."
"Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense."
