Bush Plans for Global Police State Gather Apace By John Saxe-Fernández July 21, 2005 Having been taken advantage of by Bush in the name of “national security,” a painful series of events has driven the judiciary and police, in view of the 9-11 attacks and the resulting worldwide indignation, to countenance a resurgence of the intelligence agencies in the United States. This has created a dictatorial climate of political harassment that recalls the McCarthyism that afflicted that nation after World War II.

But Bush, taking advantage of the 7-7 attacks in Britain, has sought to make them "permanent."
Members of the Project for a New American Century (PNAC), the source of the much of this policy, occupy key positions in the Bush government (Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Bolton, et cetera).

these sociopaths want it all.
They are pushing us to evolve into accepting a world without love,a fascist world..a sociopath playground.An S/M scene that never ends and they are always on top.
Our freedoms are fading and soon the boots stomping Iraq will be stomping us until every knee bends and every head bows..
It's the Necromonger way...
I hate PNAC. I hate all these creeps. I wish everyone who hated them would act together and stop them. I can't do it all by myself.The monster is too armed,has too many human eyes and hands willing to kill for the dream of tyrants going along with it and doing it's work because they all Believe in the plan will save them from real life.
