the rest of what he meant - he'll know who you are if you do.

See? I didn't see it, until just now. Wow.

And by likening speaking ill of his illegal acts (crimes) to terrorist support - "dissenters" both help those "trying to kill us" AND "weaken" efforts to protect us. We are a threat. We are part of THE threat. We, anyone, that speaks of bush's crimes (this one anyway) helps the bad guys and hurts the good guys. We are enemies. That's what they're saying, yeah?

See? Because I didn't see it until just now.

So its here, practically, isn't' it? Everything's just about in place. Dissent will be quashed, and they will know who you are, in case they want to do some rounding up later, I guess. You can't talk about the laws not applying to the ruling class. You can't talk about their crimes. You can't question their power or their actions. You may applaud, sit, or be kept under surveillance like a suspected criminal.

It won't me much longer if they have their way, imho.

Am I overreacting?

1. You can't forget that they're dumbasses.

There have been some desparate arguments lately, on whether fascism REALLY includes corporate control. (It does) You see, these guys convince themselves that WE are the fascists, that it must be leftist, because Hitler was a "nationalist socialist". They convince themselves that they are anti-fascist. The deeper they are into the network, the more they think they have access to "priveledge information" the more full of shit they are...Its like a cult, the whack ass inner sanctum who believes in Xenu think they have the real scoop. So they walk around, advocate secret police, the destruction of the constitution, but they don't actually know they are doing it, most of them...They actually believe they are defending the constitution.

So there is hope, hope that they might actually figure out what's going on. Its when they OPENLY advocate fascism that we are fucked! Cause then they know what they are doing! :)

3. Do you mean to bush, and cheney I think, saying we mustn't talk of this?

Because I don't have any links handy, but I will search for them if that's what you're asking.

There were threads here on DU, and I just thought this was common knowledge - that the line from the regime is that to do anything other than keep silent about this program is to help the terrorists.

You are asking to a link, right? To what?

5. you used quotes
which suggested that you might be quoting from something. If you were using them as a device to add meaning to your own commentary, that's fine, just let us know.

6. Are you serious?
All my "quotes" came in one sentence:

----
And by likening speaking ill of his illegal acts (crimes) to terrorist support - "dissenters" both help those "trying to kill us" AND "weaken" efforts to protect us. We are a threat.
----

> "dissenters"

> help those "trying to kill us"

> "weaken" efforts to protect us

I'm sure I can find quotes from the criminals' mouths equating to,, if not lieterally agreeing with, the quotes I used.

I believe everything "quoted" to be very, very common knowledge, which is why I "quoted" what I quoted"

Sorry for the confusion, and if you, or anyone you represent from "us," need any further clarification, I'll be happy to do my best to provide that.

Cheers.

4. He can know what I think of him and the rest of his ilk. He doesn't
have to spy on me. I'll tell him to his face.
