This one perpetrated by agents of a government against its own people for the purpose of creating a new Pearl Harbor, a new Reichstag fire. To create in the American public a climate of fear and to move public opinion through fear in the direction of giving up their own civil rights. To pass legislation all ready printed up and waiting on the shelf ready to go, to pass Hitler's enabling acts.
Many have asked, why now? What does this mean? The photon addicted, addled non critical thinkers cheer, USA! USA! USA! Republican's ponder; will this help Obama's reelection campaign? Rush Limbaugh praises Obama tongue in cheek but George W. Bush praises Obama and Dick Cheney praise Obama in candor and from CBS News the following:
Expert: Security Checkpoints Near Soft Targets May Soon Become The Norm A Day May Come When You'll Be Patted Down Going Into StoresNEW YORK (CBS New York) -- Counter terrorism experts say a retaliation attack for Osama bin Laden's death is inevitable. Terrorists are expected to aim for more vulnerable soft targets like shopping malls or museums.
They are places jam-packed with people -- pedestrian malls, shopping centers and stadiums.
You see, it isn't good news it's bad news. We've just turned another page in this dark saga, victory has been turned to defeat. The fear of retaliation shall now be used to tighten security. Just like magic, it's no wonder that Bush and Cheney are so proud of Barack Obama.
"The very word "secrecy" is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths and to secret proceedings. We decided long ago that the dangers of excessive and unwarranted concealment of pertinent facts far outweighed the dangers which are cited to justify it. Even today, there is little value in opposing the threat of a closed society by imitating its arbitrary restrictions. Even today, there is little value in insuring the survival of our nation if our traditions do not survive with it. And there is very grave danger that an announced need for increased security will be seized upon by those anxious to expand its meaning to the very limits of official censorship and concealment. That I do not intend to permit to the extent that it's in my control. And no official of my Administration, whether his rank is high or low, civilian or military, should interpret my words here tonight as an excuse to censor the news, to stifle dissent, to cover up our mistakes or to withhold from the press and the public the facts they deserve to know."
John F. Kennedy
John Kennedy's plan to dismantle the CIA died in the streets of Dallas Texas. His fear was well warranted and prophesy has come to pass.
