Totalitarians are known for using the excuse of 'national emergency' or 'national security' to justify draconian forays into the private lives of citizens, seizing the circumstances in order to amass more power.

Obama's White House Chief of Staff--Rahm 'Dead Fish' Emanuel--admitted such a tactic when he said, 'Never let a good crisis to go waste.'

Each time during the 20th century that totalitarians, whether Fascist or Communist, took power in various nations around the world, they used national crisis as the excuse. This was certainly the case with the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia, leading to the Communist Soviet Union. Hitler did the same in Germany. Castro seized control of Cuba using the justification of the 'dire circumstances' the country faced at the time.

From Day One the Obama Administration has used the current economic crisis in America to justify seizing the American auto industry--with the exception of Ford--and enacting measures to control banks, investment firms, the healthcare industry, and even dictate to private corporations how much money they can pay their executives.
