The Fear Americans NEED is Fear of U.S. Government Totalitarianismby Stan Moore

"...terrorism at its basic root is a struggle for world resources between the world-wide multinational corporate elite and those who are harmed by the concentration of wealth and power by the corporate elite."
The signs are clear and they are all around us. Miami cops are shooting citizens on the street who dare voice their protestations to policies benefiting corporations and harming U.S. citizens. John Ashcroft is rolling back constitutional protections in order to "protect" U.S. citizens from "terrorism". General Tommy Franks just stated publicly that one single successful attack using weapons of mass destruction against the U.S. could result in abandonment of the U.S. constitution and installation of a military state in the U.S. itself.
Consider some pertinent facts: ALL terrorism at its basic root is a struggle for world resources between the world-wide multinational corporate elite and those who are harmed by the concentration of wealth and power by the corporate elite. The fact is that that same corporate elite sees very clearly that the day is coming when their wealth and power grabbing will place them at direct odds with the American public. Earth's resources are finite, and the power elite want infinite control over the liquidation and exploitation of the increasingly scarce resources that provide them with wealth and power. The day is inevitable when the typical U.S. citizen will understand that his/her prospect for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness is controlled, and then thwarted by the ruling elite. By then, it may be too late, because freedom will be a thing of the past. We may very well see a totalitarian state in America, with the U.S. military and police forces spying on American citizens, using lethal violence against them, and brutally crushing opposition to government policies just like Saddam Hussein, Josef Stalin, the Shah of Iran, and other dictators have done.
There will be a day when the Miami police department will use lethal force against protestors. There may be a day when martial law will be declared and the U.S. military will be called to intimidate, and then kill American citizens at the behest and bequest of the American government. The path to that end is very clear even today.
A famous American patriot once said: "Those who are willing to sacrifice freedom for security will end up with neither." Americans have been manipulated by fear to voluntarily give up precious freedoms. But the fears used to justify these deprivations have been based on incomplete information, grounded in lies. The U.S. government clearly knew that the September 11, 2001 attacks were being planned and could have stopped the attacks or prevented them altogether. But clearly, the U.S. administration wanted a "Pearl Harbor-type attack" to use for its own political purposes. We now know that even the Pearl Harbor attack in 1941 was fully known in advance to the U.S. government, which was secretly monitoring even the most secret Japanese communications between Japanese warships, military, and government. The U.S. knew all the details of the Pearl Harbor attack, and indeed goaded the Japanese into making the attack in order to provoke the U.S. into a war that the U.S. government leadership wanted but which the U.S. public had resisted.

While I might've posted this in another forum, I thought GDF might benefit from this one. Enjoy. (Needless to say, I'm in almost complete agreement with the thrust of this article.)
