New post on HuffPo by Naomi Wolf (the End of America Naomi)
She goes into great detail about the similarities between Palin, Cheney and Rove. Continues with her theme--discussing the closing of once open societies. And she describes shocking, personal stories about how she and other journalists/writers are currently being targeted.

I need someone to "talk me down" after reading this...

3. It's happening. We're living it. Not many chances (if any) left to stop it.
All the signs are there but to many the destruction of American Society, as it was, as it barely exists now, is simply too unimaginable and surreal to be taken seriously.

Left wing nuts, conspiracy theorists, crazy liberals, unpatriotic nutcases and dissidents are the some of the labels frequently used to identify those who try to get the word out.

I'm sorry, can't talk you down because I believe.

7. This is a brilliant piece from one of our most incisive analysts
Evita Mooselini is KKKarl's ultimate cynical dream creation. Too bad she's gonna crash and burn like the Hindenburg. She's even dumber than Chimpy, and that is a concept that verges on science fiction.

8. so does anyone have a hard copy of this reffed video?
"Sarah Palin was baptized at Wasilla Assembly of God...Last Sunday our research team released a video, a ten-minute mini-documentary, focusing on the Wasilla Assemblies of God and the video seemed on the verge of a massive "viral" breakthrough when YouTube pulled it down, citing 'inappropriate content'. At the point the video was censored by YouTube it had been viewed by almost 160,000 people. The short of it is that YouTube has censored a video documentary that appeared to be close to having an effect on a hard fought and contentious American presidential election..."

That might be interesting to see if anyone does. I can't believe they're messing with her life on a personal level so much. I hate to get paranoid or feel conspiratorial but it does really make you think.

9. Joesph Stalin + Sarah Palin ---- parallels
Stalin & Palin were both from "backwater annexes" to their home nations, considered worthy of ridicule.

Stalin & Palin were both single-minded about being "popular" at any cost, stooping to Machiavellian tactics to ensure pop status.

Stalin & Palin were "failed artists" (along with Adolf) -- in Palin's case, a failed attempt to be a national ESPN sportscaster icon.

Stalin & Palin were/are obsessed with loyalty, and kept/keep lifelong loyalists in their employ.

Stalin & Palin were/are obsessed with secrecy.

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. The U.S. transforms into the U.S.S.R. Enjoy.
