    4 comments

    For years we have warned that the police state is coming, how Martial Law will become the norm, how ancient laws, rights and freedoms are being overturned and replaced with repressive mechanisms of control.
    For years we have presented the evidence, the Army War College documents, the domestic military takeover drills, the draconian legislation, officials left right and centre calling for more centralized military control domestically.
    For years people refuted the evidence, or passed it (…)

    Frist, a heart surgeon with presidential ambitions, (…)

    The Difference In People... what a crying shame...
    This is very interesting. How much the people’s attitude can change in 78 years? In 1927, a major, unnamed hurricane struck the city of New Orleans. It was actually more powerful than Katrina. The scope of damage was much more severe because this particular hurricane actually hit the city. Katrina missed it by 25 miles.

    This morning I awoke at exactly 6:45 a.m., got up from bed, stubbed my toe on a chair, went to toilet at exactly 6:47, washed my hands at 6:48, went to the kitchen for a cup of tea but found the tea canister empty so had to go to the refrigerator. I found the milk carton with only half a glass of skim milk, drank it with my pills, opened the kitchen window to let a breeze in, listened to a bird warbling, then went back to the (…)

    George was out of town, of course, in the "battle cab" at the U.S. Northern Command’s headquarters in Colorado Springs, checking out the latest in homeland-security technology and picking up photo ops; while White House aides, as the Washington Post wrote that morning, were attempting "to reestablish Bush’s swagger." The Democrats had largely fled town as well, leaving hardly a trace behind. Another hurricane was blasting into Texas and the media was preoccupied, but (…)
