In case you live under a rock (or you watch Fox News for your information) the Internets have been ABUZZ for months and months over the Executive orders that Bush has been creating that give him greater and greater controls over US citizens, and the country. For example, in the event of a catastrophe (which is defined loosely, this could be a hurricane like Katrina) Bush is given control of the entire country, congress, law enforcement, state governments, etc. Everything.
This video is a radio broadcast interview of Paul Craig Roberts, he was Assistant Secretary of the Treasury in the Reagan administration.
This is NOT some conspiracy theorist/some guy off the street. People laugh at the worries of some people that Bush is being given too much power, but this guy is saying the US is in danger of becoming a police state within one year. Republican Senator Rick Santorum recently stated that “all this American anti war ’sentimentalism’ will disappear after the next series of attacks we’re gonna experience”.
What. The. Hell. Is. That?
Please watch this video. This is an educated person with experience in politics warning Americans that the danger is not Al Queda, the danger is our government. He even quotes Pat Buchanon as ‘a long time, loyal Republican’ and states Buchanon is warning of another Gulf of Tonkin event to get us into Iran. If you don’t know, this is how we got into Vietnam. The public was told the Vietnamese shot at a patrol boat that the US had in international waters. In 2005, the NSA released the secret documents about the Gulf of Tonkin, and it was reported in the SanFransco Chronicle that:“The overwhelming body of reports, if used, would have told the story that no attack had happened,” he wrote. “So a conscious effort ensued to demonstrate that an attack occurred.”
Think about this. 5.4 Million people died in Vietnam. 67,000 Americans. Someone made “a conscious effort … to demonstrate that an attack occurred” when the reports showed that there was no attack. We went to war over a lie. 5.4 million people died. It AMAZES ME, we spend days and days lamenting the loss of 22 kids in Virginia, but when we find out over 5 million people died *because someone lied to get us into war*, it barely makes it into a newspaper, and is not major news???? What the HELL is wrong with us? The deaths of those kids is sad, and horrible, but lets prioritize here! We are on the cusp of a nuclear attack against a country that did nothing to us! Republicans are warning us that the government will lie to get us into war! Can it be any more obvious?
What amazes me is that if the government shut off everyone’s cable TV, there would be people marching in every town. Think about it. Am I wrong?
here is the movie.
moscaudancer, the Katrina guns were confiscated permanently, people can’t get them back. Your reasoning smells of communism – the government knows better when to allow people to have guns? Watch NRA video – the Orleans residents can’t get their guns back. NRA won a court case against Nagin, then another court case to hold him in contempt, but he still does not want to return the guns to people. You sound too naive to be genuine.
Actually, I didn’t know the ban was permanent. That changes everything, because, yes, in that case, the government had every right to take guns out of the hands of angry, desperate, and vengeful people. Those weapons would simply have added to the pointless, preventable death incurred by government inaction in the first place. However, I am completely at a loss as to how he can possibly justify keeping them all out of the hands of citizens who may now need them to defend their newly rebuilt homes (aside from the fact that it’s just the right thing to do to give them back to their rightful owners now that the danger of vigilantism is past). Oh, and, before anyone says it’s illegal because of the Second Amendment, I’d like to clear up the nature of the Bill of Rights. When it was written, it was originally intended to be a restriction of the FEDERAL government’s powers, not state powers. It was actually written that way, too. The Second Amendment is the only one of the first ten that has not been extended by the Supreme Court to apply also to the state governments, mainly because of its vagueness as to what types of weapons people had the right to own. Thus, while it may not be *technically* illegal for Nagin to do this w/o having the city council vote on new weapon ordinances, it is morally reprehensible.
Also, try not to get into a moral argument with someone who doesn’t have the same information you do. When in doubt, ask, don’t crucify.
“That changes everything, because, yes, in that case, the government had every right to take guns out of the hands of angry, desperate, and vengeful people.”
Governments don’t have rights. People do. Governments are created by men, and granted privelges. The transfer of power goes from Individuals to Government, not the other way around.
The 2nd Amendment is very clear:
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, *shall not be infringed*.
You may disagree with my assertion, but the reason the Founders wrote that was so that we could defend ourselves in situations like these. Those people had every right to be angry, desperate, and vengeful… that is the effect government has on people. Look at history.
guns wont help us anymore. go to projectcensored.org and look up mkultra – its declassified CIA documents about the testing and use of electromagnetic weapons. I remember there was one that worked when broadcast through radio waves over speakers…but i cant remember the effect – the actually said it was used in the first gulf war, they somehow used it when the mosques broadcast prayers.
Hello
Very interesting information! Thanks!

Police are ordinary people: Witness student tasing for asking a question. There’s nothing ordinary when a human being has a badge and a gun. They can actually be quite extraordinary.
Notice: Bush now has control of National Guard.
Remember: Kent State. A police state would involve the military, not just the cops. Both do as they’re told.
Don’t ever say it can’t happen here. Don’t EVER believe it can’t happen here. That’s too naive for anyone with a brain to think.
best be buying silver and or gold and lots of it..
