wolven7'In case you live under a rock (or you watch Fox News for your information) the Internets have been ABUZZ for months and months over the Executive orders that Bush has been creating that give him greater and greater controls over US citizens, and the country. For example, in the event of a catastrophe (which is defined loosely, this could be a hurricane like Katrina) Bush is given control of the entire country, congress, law enforcement, state governments, etc. Everything.
'This video is a radio broadcast interview of Paul Craig Roberts, he was Assistant Secretary of the Treasury in the Reagan administration.
'This is NOT some conspiracy theorist/some guy off the street. People laugh at the worries of some people that Bush is being given too much power, but this guy is saying the US is in danger of becoming a police state within one year. Republican Senator Rick Santorum recently stated that “all this American anti war ’sentimentalism’ will disappear after the next series of attacks we’re gonna experience”.'
[Edit8.45pm: 'What amazes me is that if the government shut off everyone’s cable TV, there would be people marching in every town. Think about it. Am I wrong?'
Latter emphasis mine.]
Not a conspiracy theorist. Not a "crackpot." Ex-Reagan-Era Government Official.
Please watch this.
Please wake up.

Date: 2007-08-23 07:03 pm (UTC)I still don't believe that he can overcome the weight of term limits. Too many people "get" that concept, and have a decent understanding of why it's there, and besides that too many people hate him. So he's gone in a year. What happens, exactly? What's the plan, for overcoming that shift? Jeb won't work, not yet. Starting another war also probably won't work. Approval for war is down.
They'd need another attack on US soil to get up approval for a war, and even that wouldn't do the job of keeping Bush in power beyond his term.
...There could be a physical attack against the candidates. Just before the election, terrorists gun/bomb down the presidential hopefuls, to try and kill our leader-to-be, and others just barely fail to kill our beloved leader. Given that, he'd have a shot at establishing a police state.
Barring that, I don't see what Dubya is accomplishing, other than making a big stain on his historic record.
The powers of "The President" are being ratcheted up, but who's going to have them a year from now?

Date: 2007-08-23 08:48 pm (UTC)I want Obama to win, and I want his "no-nonsense" attitude to turn cold and incisive shortly thereafter; I want him to be our nation's Vetinari. Thing is, I keep seeing a strange thing in his face, as if he's being set up as some sort of sacrifice and a tiny unused voice in him knows it. It's like he has Kennedy-face.
