The Constitution of the United States to be a FLOAT at Coronation!
Edited on Sun Jan-16-05 11:01 AM by leftchick
It may as well since it is not being used by the USA.....

3. Massive, shameless symbolism
Boy, we are about to have the same arms parade that any Communist, Fascist, or NAZI organization has sported in their glory days. I really wonder why people are not rioting all over this country right now.

... I agree Americans should be out in the streets rioting. It will happen a couple of years after the Draft starts. Heads will roll...

13. Why they're not rioting all over this country.
In an earlier article, I reviewed the varied aspects of personality profiling and simulation. While serving as Head of the Artificial Intelligence Department at the U.S. Army War College, 1993-1995, I conducted studies on profiling, psychological programming, and brainwashing. I explored and developed personality simulation systems, an advanced technology used in military war games, FBI profiling, political campaigning, and advertising. Part of my discovery was that:

* unenlightened human minds are combinations of infantile beliefs and emotional patterns

* these patterns can be simulated in profiling systems

* these profiling systems can be used to program and control people

Personality simulation systems are being used to create political campaigns that apply voter profiles to control their voting behavior. TV commercials and programs use personality simulation to profile viewers to control their purchasing and viewing behaviors. And sophisticated propaganda and brainwashing techniques are being used by the Bush junta to keep American citizens under control.
(my emphasis /jc)

Above quote from Brainwashing America by Dr. Norman Livergood, former head of the dept. of Artificial Intelligence, US Army War College.

Take that in context with the quote below attributed to Herman Goering at the time of the Nuremberg trials and just connect the dots.

"Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger."
-- Herman Goering at the Nuremberg trials

4. One last look, for old times sake
Before they completely dismantle it & replace with their 'faith-based' version.

5. Why such extravagance? I know
America is fascinated with Royalty and the Cons are parading their excesses in the regal airs of Royalty. Ah, hey dummies, America will watch royalty like a museum exhibit. When they realize they have to live it that may be different story -- remember King George III?

Or the snipers will have to shoot it.
