Orwellian "Scenarios"

A recent Report of the Homeland Security Council entitled Planning Scenarios describes in minute detail, the Bush administration's preparations in the case of a terrorist attack by an outside enemy called the Universal Adversary (UA).

The Universal Adversary, is identified in the scenarios as an abstract entity used for the purposes of simulation. Yet upon more careful examination, this Universal Adversary is by no means illusory. It includes the following categories of potential "conspirators":

"foreign terrorists" ,

"domestic radical groups",

"state sponsored adversaries" <"rogue states", "unstable nations">

"disgruntled employees" .

According to the Planning Scenarios Report :

"Because the attacks could be caused by foreign terrorists; domestic radical groups; state sponsored adversaries; or in some cases, disgruntled employees, the perpetrator has been named, the Universal Adversary (UA). The focus of the scenarios is on response capabilities and needs, not threat-based prevention activities." (See Planning Scenarios )

The domestic radical groups and labor activists, which visibly constitute a threat to the established political order, are now conveniently lumped together with foreign Islamic terrorists, suggesting that the PATRIOT anti-terror laws together with the Big Brother law enforcement apparatus are eventually intended to be used against potential domestic "adversaries".

1. Yikes. That is double plus bad!

[SteppingRazor]

2. Typical.

And you just know that by "domestic radical groups," they sure as hell aren't thinking of neo-Nazis or rightwing survivalists -- you know, the types who committed the worst act of domestic terrorism in US history. No, they're thinking more along the lines of crunchy gramolas who blow up a parking lot full of SUVs.

6. Or maybe even those radical liberal types who post on

web sites like DU or SmirkingChimp.com and who are clearly exhibiting a resistance to the chemicals in the koolaide by not falling into line like the rest of the zombified masses to offer praise and unquestioning obedience to Dear Leader.

3. The Universal Soldier finally meets his match

The Universal Advisary! This will save a lot of time morphing Osama into something suitable for the latest war.

Sounds like we've got ourselves a case of the foreign, domestic, state-sponsored, disgruntled employee, radical group adversary terrorist.

Yikes! Osama had such a ring to it.

4. Right now, they're probably most worried about disgruntled CIA/FBI agents

blowing the whistle, or worse, applying their regime change skills to exact revenge. Within the agencies, the anger against the neocons and the WH is deep and wide for Iraq and for the WH's scapegoating of the intelligence community for 9/11.

After all, didn't Felt and others do exactly that same thing to Nixon? Disgruntled employees, indeed.

5. Disgruntled employees - I couldn't help but think Postal Service

sorry, I know it's more serious than that.

[hang a left]

7. Disgruntled employees - I couldn't help but think

of all the people that have or will be losing their pensions.

13. How many millions are there before the

Universal adversary ==== the american majority... and then what?
Concentration camps?

[BR_Parkway]

16. I think the are under "radical domestics" makes em seem scarier

and less like your grandfather.

[catzies]

22. Disgruntled employees = future whistleblowers. Think about it.

Kill 'em before the truth gets out.

[doublethink]

8. Universal Adversary = Labor Unions = Political Activists = Terrorists.

Why does this not surprise me one frickin bit. This administration just keeps tearing our Constitution, Rights and Freedoms into even smaller and smaller pieces every day. New Buzzword 'Universal Adversary' anyone know if the Freepers are using that one today yet?

[lala_rawraw]

20. I am thinking Whistle blowers

[doublethink]

23. Okay lala ........

after seeing the pictures of Tommy Hook a moment ago in full blown living gruesome color on CNN with the huge headline under it 'WHISTLE BLOWER'.... I'm beginning to agree more with you on your insight here.

reference this thread ... http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.ph...
Peace.

9. oops, dropped to page 2

We know that in GD, that means it is half way to oblivion.



...and its 3rd nomination.

[doublethink]

12. Thanks for catchng it ...

I was about to start another thread entitled "EVERYONE F...ING LOOK HERE' ... and just put the link to it in the text. Peace.
on edit: to wash my mouth out with soap a bit..... but not much.

[paineinthearse]

19. .

[Protagoras]

10. I honestly, truly believe that the Neocons use 1984

and "It Can't Happen Here" and other similar works as their playbook.

That's the power of these works. They weren't just warnings...they were detailed descriptions of what actually works. If you are soulless enough to embrace, rather than reject their message...you have an incredibly powerful set of tools for social control at your disposal.

And I think these people know this. Rove esp.

[doublethink]

18. Hmmmmmmm.......

"Circus dogs jump when the trainer cracks the whip, but the really well-trained dog is the one that turns somersaults when there is no whip." --George Orwell

So let me get this right after further review of the story ......

1. 'Fake Intelligence' alone, on a suspected terror threat, from a 'Universal Adversary' could lead to suspension of our Civil Rights: hence implementation of 'Martial Law'. No actual terrorist attack need take place for this to occur.

2. 'Impeachment' proceedings Can Not take place under Martial Law.

3. Why does the term "Universal Adversary" remind me of Enemy Combatant"? Will this term be used to get around laws in the same way Enemy Combatant is used to disregard torture violations (Geneva Conventions)

4. Why do I think we're being 'set up' .... again. ?

on edit: Love the terminology "Fictitious Awareness Level" that ones great! "So ..... how's your fictitious awareness level today?" I can picture the sheep walking around asking that of each other! Ha Ha !! Peace.

21. No, I think 1984 was just that capable of reading

the greed and corruption that power creates... Karl Rove is using "The Prince" as his guide, not 1984, which is our guide to understanding what is going on.

[gordianot]

11. They forgot a group. "Disgruntled Voters" n/t

[VOX]

14. "We've captured a high-ranking lieutenant of the Disgruntled Employees."

"This dangerous malefactor was known to unbend paper clips, dog-ear memos, and skip his turn in Friday refrigerator clean-ups. His capture should lead to the apprehension of an entire cell of moderately dissatisfied employees. Democracy is breaking out offices throughout the country." White House Press Release, July 2007

17. After extraordinary rendition to extract the vital information

The suspected terrorist told all. Thank God for our good and faithful allies, the uzbeks! God bless America.

[atommom]

15. "Domestic radical groups" is the one that scares me, because it's

a squishy, malleable term that can mean whatever Big Brother wants it to mean. I don't think they'll waste a lot of manpower spying on conservative radicals, do you?
