[buzzard]

1. Good show so far. n/t

[in_cog_ni_to]

2. She's giving the 10 steps all dictators take to get their fascist state.

1. I missed it!:(

2. Secret prisons where torture takes place

3. create a para military force not accountable to the people...BLACKWATER has plans to EXPAND here at home.

4. surveillance apparatus....wiretapping...NSA

she's not going to give all ten steps because we will be nauseous.

Colbert told her to come back in a year to discuss it and she told Colbert , "we don't have a year.":scared:

3. She was great, and scary:: 'we don't have a year'. And SC let her go. nt

4. America is already a fascist state.

Just try it out for yourself. Go to Washington D.C. Stand in front of the Capitol building and shout, "George Bush is fascist traitor
over and over as loudly as you can. Guaranteed to get you tasered. A minister standing in line for the Betray-Us hearing had his leg broken by the Capitol Police for no reason. God forbid he should try to exercise free speech. :dem:

5. Thank you for the heads up..I caught the end.

I look out for her on tv. Loved her 10 steps to fascism in the Guardian. Love her face. Love her. Naomi Klein's book is coming out. The month of the Naomis.

Naomi was great, I wish that she had more time.

7. You mean Naomi Klein

Naomi Wolf is the "earth tones" lady!

[RainDog]

8. No, it was Wolf

[radiclib]

9. YOW! Thanks for the correction

[RainDog]

19. well, they both are promoting books -- and Klein would make sense. : ) n/t

10. we are there

[girl gone mad]

11. The response of many DUers to the tasering incident...

has pretty much sealed it for me. We're already there.

[The Vinyl Ripper]

12. Not to mention the Circuit City incident..

If you read any of those threads, the same people popped up saying the same things..

[girl gone mad]

13. Fortunately, I missed those threads.

I guess our future mantra will be "first they came for the belligerent assholes..."

[KillCapitalism]

14. Yeah it's scary.

Scary how quick some here at DU are to succumb to authority and accept authoritarianism.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

15. That reaction here really freaks me out and yes, it is sealed for me. The sheep have

learned to become a ruley flock.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

16. Yes, we are. nt

[superkia]

18. No doubt! The sad part is most dont see it, they want more of the same?

17. the real war

Naomi is awesome - this is the real war (not that Iraq/Afganistan isnt deadly real). The real war has fronts all around the globe. Its in New Orleans, Iraq, the Bronx, rural China and India, South America Africa. Its about capitalism privatizing EVERYTHING. Its shock capitalism, its disaster "opportunists". The signs are everywhere that they are winning, and may actually already have won.

The response to the taser incident, circuit city, etc show how sad of a civilization we have become, and how weak we have become as an opposing force.
