America - A Police State In Progress?

[Leilla]

The recent rash of terror warnings shows just how shoddy mainstream journalism has really become. Every major news network in the country ran the very same story of the “alleged” communication between Osama bin Laden and terrorist mastermind Abu Musab al Zarqawi without producing a scintilla of corroborating evidence. They simply flooded the newswires, airwaves and TVs with unsubstantiated, Pentagon-inspired gibberish and left out any supporting facts. The clear intention was to give a boost to Bush’s flagging polling numbers, but the effort fell flat and the media’s credibility took another well-deserved hit.

It’s not enough that American’s are forced to endure a daily infusion of the Crawford Fuehrer; his mangled English blaring on the morning radio, and his mottled visage peering out from the evening news programs. Now, we’re getting a daily dosage of uncorroborated theory, innuendo and conjecture masquerading as news. Promoting the war has become a full time job for America’s media and they’re getting more desperate every day. While Bush’s numbers dither towards the abyss, the press keeps dredging up the overused images of fear and intimidation hoping for some relief. Fortunately, the strategy is failing, which suggests that more aggressive measures may be in the offing. If the media can’t manage public perceptions then Rumsfeld’s “private contractors” will probably lend a hand.....

One might wonder why the Government can get such detailed information but can't seem to catch any real terrorists...

4. Police State

Agreed
Those of us who know the truth are in the minority. Soon we be considered terrorists in our own country; There are several scenarios that could happen.
1 We could all be silenced and Bush could theoretically, Bush co could take over the entire world.
2. The rest of world could suddenly turn against us(some of them already have)the resulting attack will come and America will be too bankrupt to fight against us
Im sure there are other ones I could think of, but not right now
