Military Dictatorship USA? by Dr. Norman Livergood

"If Tyranny and Oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy."

James Madison, while a United States Congressman


We usually think of a nation being controlled by a military dictatorship when a military leader seizes control through a putsch, as in the case of General Pervez Musharraf in Pakistan or Saddam Hussein in Iraq. The previous government is overthrown and a military strong man places himself in power with few if any constraints from judicial or legislative oversight.

But we must look for the essence of a military dictatorship, those features which are present whenever this form of oppression occurs. In essence, a military dictatorship is a form of government in which absolute power is concentrated in a repressive ruler or a small clique who use military and police power to dominate the people mentally and physically.

Taking this definition as our touchstone, in the United States we know we're living under a military dictatorship when we see:

* a leader retaining power through stealing the election of 2004 and put into power in 2000 by a coup d'etat, not through democratic elections

* the military used to control the civilian population in violation of the U.S. Constitution

* the president ordering a US citizen held indefinitely by the military

* a shadow government being set up consisting entirely of executive branch officials in violation of the Constitution

* government informants spying on fellow citizens

* the highest amount of government funds going to military initiatives:

o taxpayer money being used to subsidize and fund domestic and foreign "defense" corporations

o taxpayer money being used to subsidize and fund domestic and foreign military operations: wars, embargoes, training, etc.

* a dictatorial ruling clique creating unnecessary, homocidal wars as a way of remaining in power

* a dictatorial ruling clique committing crimes and assuming illegal powers and not being brought to justice because of manipulated, powerless legislative and judicial branches

* the spread of militaristic values and the increasing power of the military in our society

All these conditions are now
present in the United States.

FBI Whistleblower Sibel Edmonds-new letter !!!

Quote:
protecting certain foreign business relations
echos what the late John O'Neil (FBI terror expert and HERO who quit infrustration and died on 911 at the WTC -not the scum bag swift boat liar) said prior to 911 about The BushInc.'s being the #1 OBSTRUTION into investigating terror especially when it involved rich SAUDIs (Carlye Group etc.).
also mentions money laundering, and drugs which of course is reminiscent of the good old Iran Contra days -many of the same movers and shakers of the current BushInc. ran that triatorus CRIME spree.
see
http://www.justacitizen.org/
I would recommend we encourage the MEDIA to consider her words- the big picture still matters.
It is becoming more clear IMHO that 911 was a boon for the NEOCONs and inlight of the above article perhaps -the second catastrophic event- will also be welcomed by the NEOCONS as a way to advance on Iran- and even use NUKEs.
