COINTELPRO and Operation CHAOS went beyond wiretapping, bugging, and burglarizing the offices and homes of those opposed to Johnson and Nixon and the Vietnam War. "In 1968, the CIA's various domestic programs were consolidated and expanded under the name Operation CHAOS. When Richard Nixon became president the following year, his administration drafted the Huston Plan, which called for even greater operations against 'subversives,' including wiretapping, break-ins, mail-opening, no-knock searches and 'selective assassinations,'" writes Mark Zepezauer. In regard to the American Indian Movement and the Black Panthers, the FBI and CIA (and DIA) "conducted a full-fledged counterinsurgency war, complete with death squads, disappearances and assassinations, recalling Guatemala in more recent years," writes Paul Wolf. As it turns out, the FBI employed reactionary fascists (not much different than those used in Guatemala or El Salvador) to liquidate the opposition. "Despite tens of thousands of pages of documentary evidence, the idea that the Bureau would utilize private right-wing operatives and terrorists is a chilling, alien concept to most Americans. Nevertheless, the FBI has financed, organized, and supplied arms to right-wing groups that carried out fire-bombings, burglaries, and shootings." - http://kurtnimmo.com/?p=163

Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes, and, accordingly, all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security. - U.S. Colonists' Declaration of Independence 1776

It is clear the United States of AmeriKKKa has descended into a moral abyss that will be its ruination as the megalomaniacal depravity of the ruling elites and their stooges like George W. Bush force their New World Order agenda on the gullible masses. Joe and Jane Six-pack suffer from what I call the "ostrich syndrome." They've stuck their heads into the proverbial sand pretending not to know what they know: that AmeriKKKa long ago ceased to be - it never really was - the country they were brainwashed to believe it is. As long as they could sprint merrily on the consumer treadmill, exhausting themselves for the trinkets this culture promotes and the resulting illusions it creates, they were cool.

But now the treadmill is decelerating and it is becoming more and more obvious the glitter and blink, as in blink and it's gone, are fading along with their middle class lifestyles and the materialism they are fatuously pursuing. The psychopathic ruling elites have now turned on the AmeriKKKan people. It's not enough they are sending AmeriKKKa's young to debilitating wars based on horrible lies, nor is it sufficient the Bu$h administration has thoroughly demonstrated itself to be at best totally incompetent or at worst woefully malfeasant and treacherous.

9-11 was not the result of "intelligence failures." How can your intelligence services fail when they are warned repeatedly ahead of time by their peers from Germany, France, Russia, Israel, Morocco and Egypt. Not to mention his own CIA Daily Presidential Briefing warned him about a pending "attack" on AmeriKKKan soil!

Bu$h has not found the main patsy he and the media blamed for 9-11, Osama bin-Laden. Not one word has been uttered about bin-Laden by Bu$h in almost three years. There were no WMD in Iraq, there was no connection between Al Qaeda - an invention of the CIA and U.S. media - and Saddam Hussein and there was no need for the massive shift to a domestic police state by the Bu$h administration.

Last week the corporate media floated their trial balloon "revealing" George W. Bu$h authorized the National Security Agency to turn its Echelon global electronic spy apparatus on specific AmeriKKKans without prior court approval. By the way, where was the NSA when we needed them? Why didn't they pick up on the threat of 9-11 by using Echelon, since the so-called highjackers used phones and cell phones?

The corporate press is now also disclosing that the Pentagon and Defense Department have been spying on AmeriKKKan anti-war protesters and demonstrators since the start of Bu$h's imperial overreach. You can bet your bottom dollar the FBI has also been using its Carnivore spy system to keep tabs on dissidents, outspoken war critics and opponents of the New World Order. Ask yourself why these agencies failed to prevent 9-11?

Face it, AmeriKKKa is a fascist police state. Bu$h and the NeoCon corporate media hydra have employed fear, intimidation and coercion to get their way, which is to turn AmeriKKKa into a police state. Not the bootjack fascism of 1930s Germany, Japan or Italy experienced but a more subtle, pervasive conditioning using "terrorism" like the U.S. used "communism" to frighten, threaten and browbeat AmeriKKKa into a permanent war footing from the 1940s on.

With he collapse of the Soviet Union, the military-industrial-political machine needed a new enemy, a new threat to justify their warmongering and imperialist expansion. With its creation of militant Islamic fanaticism, they had their patsy. But as gullible as most AmerIKKKans are, the ruling elites still couldn't risk too much dissent and critical thinking. So they dusted off the old Cointelpro, Operation CHAOS domestic counterinsurgency initiatives - but George W. Bu$h has gone even further.

Why would a U.S. president illegally order the government to spy on 10,000 AmeriKKKan citizens? What does he fear? Perhaps it is the righteous indignation of a nation that realizes its leaders are lying sociopaths.

Perhaps Bu$h fears the people might actually read the U.S. Declaration of Independence and discern the glaring similarities between the reasons the 13 colonies broke away from England and the conditions George W. Bu$h and his merry band of thieves, rogues and warmongers have foisted upon the AmeriKKKan people. Read it for yourself, then ask yourself whether or not the words are relevant today. Ask yourself whether or not the words in that document mirror in any way, the situation you are facing today.

"When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments is instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.

"Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security. Such has been the patient sufferance of these colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former systems of government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these states. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world.

"He has refused his assent to laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good. He has forbidden his governors to pass laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them. He has refused to pass other laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of representation in the legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.

"He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable and distant from the depository of their public records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures. He has dissolved representative houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.

"He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the legislative powers, incapable of annihilation, have returned to the people at large for their exercise; the state remaining in the meantime exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within. He has endeavored to prevent the population of these states; for that purpose obstructing the laws for naturalization of foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migration hither, and raising the conditions of new appropriations of lands.

"He has obstructed the administration of justice by refusing his assent to laws for establishing judiciary powers. He has made judges dependent on his will alone, for the tenure of their offices and the amount and payment of their salaries. He has erected a multitude of new offices and sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people and eat out their substance. He has kept among us, in times of peace, standing armies without the consent of our legislature.

"He has affected to render the military independent of and superior to civil power. He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his assent to their acts of pretended legislation:

• For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us.
• For protecting them, by mock trial, from punishment for any murders which they should commit on the inhabitants of these states.
• For cutting off our trade with all parts of the world.
• For imposing taxes on us without our consent.
• For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of trial by jury.
• For transporting us beyond seas to be tried for pretended offenses.
• For abolishing the free system of English laws in a neighboring province, establishing therein an arbitrary government, and enlarging its boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule in these colonies.
• For taking away our charters, abolishing our most valuable laws and altering fundamentally the forms of our governments.
• For suspending our own legislatures and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.

"He has abdicated government here by declaring us out of his protection and waging war against us. He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burned our towns and destroyed the lives of our people. He is, at this, time transporting large armies of foreign mercenaries to complete the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of cruelty and perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy of the head of a civilized nation.

End Part I

"He has constrained our fellow citizens taken captive on the high seas to bear arms against their country, to become the executioners of their friends and brethren, or to fall themselves by their hands. He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavored to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian savages, whose known rule of warfare is undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.

"In every stage of these oppressions we have petitioned for redress in the most humble terms: our repeated petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.

"Nor have we been wanting in attention to our British brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our separation and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, enemies in war, in peace friends.

"We, therefore, the representatives of the United States of America, in general Congress, assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the name, and by the authority of the good people of these colonies, solemnly publish and declare, that these united colonies are, and of right ought to be free and independent states; that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British crown, and that all political connection between them and the state of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as free and independent states, they have full power to levey war, conclude peace, contract alliances, establish commerce and to do all other acts and things which independent states may of right do. And for the support of this declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor."

If you see no similarities whatsoever, go back to the television, go back to sleep or stick your head back into the sand. Sooner or later someone will come along and stick their jack booted foot into your comatose, stupid behind. But by then, if the ruling elites have their way, it will be too late to alter the situation.
