A ratcheting up of fear and foreboding in op. eds.

[casual hex]

I have noticed a definite escalation in the language and themes of various op. ed. pieces over the last couple of weeks or so. It is almost as though some sort of line has been crossed, especially now with the news that boosh can spy with impunity on anyone he chooses. The tone of writing in various places is hinting at a subtle desperation beginning to settle on the country. A seemingly untouchable cult has grabbed the reigns of power and the pundits are starting to realize the enormity of what is happening to this country.

The US is slipping into dictatorship, but only now is this fact starting to dawn on some. From what I read, people are confident it can be wrested back, but what happens if it can't? Where is this leading into the future?

5. at least 80% tinfoil but it's entertaining....

the author

"I'm one of those lost republicans from a previous age that still believes in honest government, small federal budgets, no foreign entanglements, strength of America's industry, the right to bear arms, and the silly notion that government works for the Citizens, not the other..."

he is into that "back to the country survival stuff". It often ends up in militias...

the web bot story is based on the premises that people can read other's minds. That's for the scientific part.

The second part is that if you gather enough webpages according to certain keywords, you'll find a prediction of an event due to come. The result is often Nostradamus-like : for example "the menace will come over the ocean" can be anything from 9/11 to Katrina.

Right now he is predicting that a severe economical crisis is going to hit the US and that the war with Iran is bound to happen. I'm sorry, but you don't need a a super new spider webtechnology to see that...

2. I wonder. It's odd that they are all starting this now

Are people really waking up or is this part of swaying people to vote for a new boss, the same as the old boss?

the poor righteous goofballs...reminds me of a story about big strong men who joined the fight against enviro org which was trying to stop a mill polluting the river; the polluters won and a couple years later the effect was being felt by the very assholes who fought the 'tree huggers' hahaha...it appears sometimes god gets tired of kicking innocents in the face, and kicks a few goofs just for a change o pace....klol

7. We're At War...We're At War...The Sky Is Falling

First...can someone tell me when a declaration of war was made by Congress...I must have been sleeping when this happened.

For the "strongest nation in the world" we sure have a bunch of real pussies out there. They're afraid guys in caves are going to fly airplanes into their heads! They fear third world countries that can barely get an airline to run on schedule will send nuclear weapons flying down on our heads. They fear unknown, unseen boogie men who hate us for who we are, yet we're the one invading their lands and culture.

Anytime this regime gets in trouble, we all know they play the "terror" card. Fortunately, or maybe not, this Chicken Little crap has worn thin on many people (anyone know what color the "Terror alert" is these days??)...so to make their points, these goons need to make it seem more dire. "We're at war"...or "this is wartime" claim asshats like Chimpy Barnes last night...yet I see nothing but an ambigously worded "resolution" that was based on planted "intelligence" and people were intimidated to vote for it, less they be painted as "UnAmerican".

I'd love to force the issues on these fuksticks. If these goons say we're at war...let's do it right. First, let's get a true declaration of war. Get a joint session of Congress, like in 1941, and make every Rep and Senator go on record as to giving this regime the unlimited powers they truly want. Let's force these assholes to put their votes where their rhetoric is...then ram it up their asses in November.

8. But even more scary, from my viewpoint...

is that we no longer have an effective "free press". Because they are co-opted by the Republican propaganda machine. The free press cannot tell the people that we are under the influence of a coming dictatorship because FOX and other Repub operatives will simply say it's just "politics" and people are left where they began...
