When you get to watch somebody’s blue haired Grandmother get sniffed up, felt up, inspected and detected while standing barefoot as she tries to board an airplane, the terrorists won.

When you no longer have the right to anonymity and must possess your bio-metric, retinal scanned, DNA, finger printed, digitized national ID card, the terrorists won.

Will you be one of the people standing in line wondering what happened to your country?

No most likely you will be in the “We have always been at war with Oceania” line. “The white zone is for loading and unloading only“. The sheeple line forms to the right. Wake up America!

Historic Factors Leading to the Rise of Fascist States:

2) Expansion of global influence through military conflict / occupation / acquisition of resources.
3) Ownership and control of the media and information outlets by the ruling elite;
4) Growing disparities between economic classes, with a greater consolidation of wealth among the ruling elite.
5) Suppression of labor movements and workers' rights initiatives;
6) Diminution of individual civil rights (usually under a pre-text of fear) and intolerance for dissenting points of view.
7) Subversion or elimination of democratic election processes.
