Preparing Us for the New Police State?

Ok...I know a good amount of it is over-the-top conspiracy stuff, esp. related to the actual 9/11 attacks, but the rest of the video, 9/11 The Road to Tyranny shows some rather disconcerting videos of "mock" military takeovers of civilians governments and "mock" takeovers of schools...all without warning the citizens beforehand.

Frightening stuff...

The following article was one of the ones mentioned.

The government arsenal to counterattack U.S.-based terrorists behind last week's "act of war" already includes wartime powers and other Draconian tactics that unsettle civil libertarians. Top Stories

In "cases of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require it," the Constitution permits a president to suspend the right to be freed from arrest by a writ of habeas corpus -- as Lincoln did during the Civil War. That denies a person jailed even by illegal means recourse in the courts.

Simply by proclaiming a national emergency on Friday, President Bush activated some 500 dormant legal provisions, including those allowing him to impose censorship and martial law.

In 1944, the Supreme Court upheld the Roosevelt administration's use of Executive Order 9066 to place curfews on Japanese-Americans and later intern thousands of them. That legal precedent -- affirming the conviction of Toyosaburo Korematsu, a U.S. citizen of Japanese descent who refused the federal government's order to leave his home in San Leandro, Calif. -- still is law and would sanction military controls over a population perceived as dangerous.

"Congress, reposing its confidence in this time of war in our military leaders -- as inevitably it must -- determined that they should have the power to do just this," the justices said.

1. This is a consumer driven economy.

Any disruption will bring it down and the rest of the world. Global meltdown.
With most of our ground force deployed in Iraq which is a real failure there is nothing here.
A better scenario is the military removing Bush after a stolen election. It would only take a few hundred.

2. Still..some scary clips there

Including the taking of 165 children out of Heartland Christian Academy which has resulted in various lawsuits. The children were ordered released just a few days later.

Or the video of the VA woman who refused to produce her driver's license and was pulled from her car and arrested for Obstruction of Justice despite having done nothing wrong. The cops were then later shown going thru her car and looking at some of the books and asking if they were legal!
