America moves another step closer to a dictatorship - on the abyss

July 20th, 2007

Well, there I was wondering what I’d write about and there it was, right before my eyes - Bush, the President of the United States, dragging his country another step towards the coveted dictatorship, all under the guise of ‘fighting terrorism’ of course!

George W. Bush who has already declared himself a dictator in the case of a national emergency has now issued an executive order that effectively destroys the Fifth Amendment. read more…

How long before the ‘emergency’ emerges and G.W. Bush suspends the democratic process (lol - it seemed funny writing ‘democratic’ in relation to the US. How times have changed.) and declares himself fully in charge with no reference to the various elected houses? Not long, I’d wager.

The United States is on the abyss of descending into the autocracy it has been marching towards since 9/11 (see Operation Northwoods). It is planned, it is deliberate and if you live in the United States, chances are you won’t be one of the very elite group who will benefit from it. What you may be is one of the people who are forced to work for the equivalent of rations because the wages of the ‘underclasses’ get capped, or you may even be one of the fortunate who get their meals for free in the detention camp you get dragged off to because you are a ’subversive,’ ‘undesirable’ or ‘unpatriotic’.

Then there is this list, published in a comment in Reddit.com, that nicely sums up just how bad things truly have become in the ‘land of the free’.
