"This and no other is the root from which a tyrant springs; when he first appears he is a protector."
-- Plato

"If Tyranny and Oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy."
-- U.S. President James Madison

"A history of false flag attacks used to manipulate the minds of the people! In individuals, insanity is rare; but in groups, parties, nations, and epochs it is the rule."
" Friedrich Nietzsche

"There will be another massive attack on America that is far deadlier than 911."

--- Dick Cheney (June 25, 2014)

Introduction

Few people will remember the speech by Ronald Reagan in 1986 when he warned of an imminent attack on US soil by the Sandinista government. Of course this was lie-based, fear-rhetoric aimed at garnishing support for an illegal invasion of Nicaragua and increased military aid to the ruthless and vicious Contras, created by the US. Thirty thousand Nicaraguans died at the hands of the US and their terrorist surrogates, while our masters glared down at us with laughter pouring from their obese jaws as the buzzards of war ascended.

Take a look at what the 'Great Communicator' had to say:

Address to the Nation on the Situation in Nicaragua, March 16, 1986

"My fellow Americans:

"I must speak to you tonight about a mounting danger in Central America that threatens the security of the United States. Using Nicaragua as a base, the Soviets and Cubans can become the dominant power in the crucial corridor between North and South America. Established there, they will be in a position to threaten the Panama Canal, interdict our vital Caribbean sea-lanes, and, ultimately, move against Mexico. Should that happen, desperate Latin peoples by the millions would begin fleeing north into the cities of the southern United States or to wherever some hope of freedom remained.

Gathered in Nicaragua already are thousands of Cuban military advisers, contingents of Soviets and East Germans, and all the elements of international terror -- from the PLO to Italy's Red Brigades. Why are they there? Because as Colonel Qadhafi has publicly exulted: "Nicaragua means a great thing: it means fighting America near its borders, fighting America at its doorstep" (http://www.reagan.utexas.edu/archives/speeches/1986/31686a.htm).

It seems that once again history is repeating itself and with a venal venom that can only make the average American cringe and tremble.

Mike Morell, former acting director of the CIA and Senators of both parties warn of ISIS attacks on American soil

Speaking of the ISIS, Lindsay Graham, a reactionary Senator and member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, told "Fox News Sunday" on August 10, 2014, that a well-funded, swiftly-strengthening organization, which has taken control of large parts of both Middle East countries, is a "direct threat to our homeland."

"Mr. President, be honest with the threat we face. They are coming" (here).
