The End of America details the ten steps a country takes when it slides toward fascism. It's not a "lefty"tot tome, rather a historical look at trends in once-functioning democracies from modern history that are being repeated in our country today. It gives any reader (or viewer of the lecture) a much-needed history lesson and constitutional refresher. Most importantly, it puts the recent gradual loss of civil liberties in the U.S. in a historical context. The average American might not be alarmed at AT&T selling our private information to the Bush administration, but when this action is seen as part of a larger series of erosions and events, a pattern emerges with unfortunate consequences that become disturbingly clear.
I started two threads the other day pertaining to how close The Bush Crime Family came to turning us into a Fascist nation. Nitwits are calling Obama a Socialist and yet they still defend what Bush/Cheny had planned for us up until a few months before they left office. They did not carry it to fruition because they chickened out.

Any movie touting "Fascism" for the U.S.A. is disinformation. Furthermore, the U.S. Constitution is merely a compact between the States united and the United States, in Congress assembled. The "United States" is a foreign corporation with respect to a state.
What IS paramount, is that the sovereignty of the American people must be preserved. THAT is the only thing that separates the U.S.A. from every other nation on this planet. So far, our opponents have successfully erased that from over 3 generations of Americans. We are ripe for being 'picked clean', and having a new "constitutional" socialist collective uber State imposed.

There is no other nation nor government on this planet that has a "republican form of government". Everyone else is a subject citizen of their government, even if its a parliamentary democracy.
"... the term 'citizen,' in the United States, is analogous to the term "subject" in the common law; the change of phrase has resulted from the change in government. ... he who before was a "subject of the King" is now a citizen of the State."
State v. Manuel, 20 N.C. 144 (1838)
"CITIZEN - ... Citizens are members of a political community who, in their associative capacity, have established or submitted themselves to the dominion of government for the promotion of the general welfare and the protection of their individual as well as collective rights. "
- - - Black's Law Dictionary,Sixth Ed. p.244
"SUBJECT - One that owes allegiance to a sovereign and is governed by his laws.
...Men in free governments are subjects as well as citizens; as citizens they enjoy rights and franchises; as subjects they are bound to obey the laws. The term is little used, in this sense, in countries enjoying a republican form of government."

We've been tricked to claim subjugation, despite all the evidence to the contrary on the law books.
Did you think you were born a "U.S. citizen"?
Who told you that?
It's not in the law.
"A Sovereign cannot be named in any statute as merely a 'person' or 'any person'".
Wills v. Michigan State Police, 105 L.Ed. 45 (1989)
"In common usage, the term 'person' does not include the sovereign, [and] statutes employing the [word] are ordinarily construed to exclude it."
Wilson v. Omaha Indian Tribe, 442 U.S. 653, 667, 61 L.Ed2. 153, 99 S.Ct. 2529 (1979)
(quoting United States v. Cooper Corp. 312 U.S. 600, 604, 85 L.Ed. 1071, 61 S.Ct. 742 (1941)).
"All PERSONS born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside." [14th Amendment, Section 1.]
You can find these and other facts in the public record, in any county courthouse law library. Why don't we know of these facts?
THAT IS THE QUESTION !
For those that haven't seen the documentary or read the book here are her 10 steps to fascism:
Quote:
1. Invoke a terrifying internal and external enemy.
2. Create secret prisons where torture takes place.
3. Develop a thug caste or paramilitary force not answerable to citizens.
4. Set up an internal surveillance system.
5. Harass citizens' groups.
6. Engage in arbitrary detention and release.
7. Target key individuals.
8. Control the press.
9. Treat all political dissents to be traitors.
10. Suspend the rule of law.

I suppose this is talking about the NSA. Let me tell you that Bush wasn't very old when the NSA first came into existence. I was separated from the US Army in 1957 and came very close to going to work for the NSA. How could Bush and Cheney have created that group since it had been around since the early 50s? One of my friends from the Army years in the Army Security Agency, ASA, retired from the NSA about 3 years ago and had been there since 1957 after separation.

You certainly are supposing a lot aren't you?
You *suppose* I'm talking about something I don't even remotely mention and then proceed to knock down (in a slipshod, round-about way) your own creation.
Nice work.
