Communism Ended Its Run as a Police State with Berlin Wall Falling. Will Curtain Fall on Bushevism?
Edited on Sun Apr-08-07 02:58 PM by demobabe
A BUZZFLASH EDITORIAL

Last night we saw the gripping Academy Award winning best foreign film, "The Lives of Others." It’s an absorbingly bleak movie about how individuals in East Germany were under a 100,000 person police-state apparatus known as the Stasi.

A loyal socialist playwright and his actress lover become the victims of a personal plot carried out by the Stasi at the request of a senior party member in love with the actress. Taking place just a few years before the collapse of the Soviet Empire, it details the creation of a government apparatus to "legally" suppress the residents of East Germany on behalf of the "security of the state."

The results of a Stasi surveillance and entrapment assignment called "Operation Lazlo" are irreversibly destructive to lives, to art, and to the most basic of human rights – the right to love.

Those who find it alarmist and sensational to compare the Stasi to what Bushevism – and its loyal party members – are continuing to try and achieve in the United States are naïve at best.

It would take a book to review the list of government authorized (and unauthorized – as recent revelations from the FBI have revealed) efforts to both monitor Americans and use the courts to achieve the political goals of solidifying a permanent power base for Bushevism.

But without recounting a list of particulars dating back to the theft of the 2000 election, we wanted to recall just two of the literally thousands of revelatory incidents that reveal the true intentions of Bushevism to create a police state akin to the control of the Stasi...

1. You'll know the Bush Era is over
when Fox News runs a poll of "most foolish American", Bush wins and Fox actually announces that Bush has won.

See here to see what I'm talking about:

7. Holy Cow!
I hadn't seen that before.

How does that work? Bush gets 40% while Britney Spears wins with 33%, "inching" out Paris Hilton who got 12%?

Fuzzy math? Didn't these Fox News people make it through gradeschool?

3. The curtain is already falling on bushevism and his attempt at converting.........
the USA, and by his extension North America, into a police state. The American voters must continue the eradication of all neocon politicos from holding any political offices. America is being occupied by Stasi (Nazi) minded individuals from both the government and the corporate/wall street world that are hell bent on taking over and controlling the world. This is the same old SHT that has gone on throughout the centuries of recorded history with the despots always meeting their demise in the end.

9. The curtian can't fall fast enough on The New Totalitarianism...Bushevism
I also have been known to call it BushPutinism, because these two soulmates have acted hand-in-hand to eradicate freedoms and civil liberties from their people.

Be thankful we are in America, where Bushevism may fail, unlike Russia, where Putin is going to succeed.
