a prediction I made 3 years ago coming true...3 prong neocon agenda

[Lerkfish]

I wrote this in late 2001, beginning 2002 on another board. I'm highlighting everything that came true in bold


----------------------
Here's just something to stimulate conversation. Here is my pet "conspiracy theory". I like to think about them, even if I view them with a healthy grain of salt...

How would the neocons achieve their goals?

I envision a three prong approach...

prong one: control all three branches of the government, and the intel community. Rumsfeld has already created his "CIA within the CIA" group, and the office of Homeland Security puts everything under the purview of Tom Ridge. More and more power controlled by less and less people.

prong two: quell with extreme prejudice the rights of citizens to protest by removing their access to due process, paving the road for political prisoners, like there used to be in South Africa. Sure, now its "suspected" terrorists, but how long until its anyone who disagrees with the administration? without access to legal counsel, the outside world and being held indefinitely and executed without trial, the US will have the ability to "disappear" citizens who are vocally antiadministration, and there won't be any way to prevent it since it will all be done in secret, with no protections.

prong three: rubber stamp the middle east, and then the world, in the US image. with prongs one and two in place, prong three will proceed without interference.

I know I'm extrapolating a bit, but you have to admit, everything is heading in this direction.

now, how will we know this plan is in place, or working in the coming days?

--elimination of civil liberties, weakening the ability of the citizens to stop the juggernaut
-- reshaping of the present character of the checks and balances system (like trying to stop filibustering), in such a way to advantage the executive branch over the other branches.
-- More and more "disappeared" people, along with executions in Guantanamo.
--

Also look for:
-- scenario: Bush loses the popular vote, again, and wins the electoral vote, but the chasm is wider, making it obvious the electoral college has been manipulated.
-- the rescinding of the two term presidency.
-- the permanence of US bases in Iraq as a base of operations, with the dropping of the MOAB on Syria or Iran, to "make a strong case" for submission to the US.

1. but what I completely did not predict at the time was the complicit media

I had no idea of how pervasive the paid and coerced manipulation of the media was going to play into it.

2. 1930's Germany all over again.

Those who do not study history are doomed to repeat it. Americans do not study history.

3. Yes, our propagandist networks, mags, papers are 'SCREWED' #1.

The PNACers probably knew exactly how they could come this far. By making arrangements and paying off owners and editors, namby-pamby press conference question askers, pimps who praise with disregard for the citizens, ommisions, misplaced emphasis, lack of international coverage, managed orwellian words. Yes, we've been screwed by our own. 9-11 was nothing compared to what is going on by our media. They traded investigations in favor of pimping for a king and his advisors. It's worse than medieval Europe.

It's time to thank the brave journalists who are the exceptions - the ones who still conduct traditional journalist investigations. They deserve their degrees. And a special thanks to those who don't even have a degree who have educated us the most and allow us to know that we are not crazy when we try to put the crap together for ourselves.

Everyday, PNACers and the barons they work for expose their traitorous ways. Under them and those who join them we must STOP what we're doing to our children. We must confess to our children that we have been lying to them about freedoms and rights and the law. We need to start teaching them how the real world works - even in they are just starting school. Their books are lies. Their teachers lie. We dont have a vote, our laws don't count. Our Supreme Court is political and biased. We are a farce led by fakirs, forgers, abusers, thieves, and liars. Merry Christmas.
