What is going on here?

Alright enough already! Will someone please turn the lights back on and roll the credits for this week's episode of the Twilight Zone.

First we have the brazenly Orwellian directive from the Office of Health Reform/Ministry of Truth to contact our friendly snitchboard operator to report any "fishy" communications from our neighbors/political extremists. Then from Pamela Geller's Atlas Shrugs I learn that the National Guard is now looking for a few good internment/resettlement specialists?

Really?

Internment of whom?

I'm moving where?

As if the seeming overnight bankruptcy of our entire country were not enough to rattle our nerves, we have the White House's apparent confidence that it need not bother fretting over the appearance of totalitarianism. What is it that imbues these people to think that no-one will notice the unsettling parallels they have with unseemly dictators?

It is at about this point that I start trying to reassure myself that this can't really be as terrifying as it sounds. Then I remember this little clip entailing what Obama's former SDS friends had in mind for people like me. Many of whom, like Marilyn Katz & Andy Stern, are wandering the halls of the White House today.

Taken separately, the White House's asking Americans to inform on each other, the apparent creation of a new Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) and the wild-eyed genocidal fantasies of 60's radicals would probably be enough to disturb anyone. hen taken collectively it becomes the substance from which nightmares are derived.

Let's re-cap shall we, One, there is now a White House sponsored, "community" driven blacklisting site. Two, we have a freshly created military specialty in our traditionally domestically-oriented National Guard that seems to be tailored towards gulag maintenance and operations. Three, the cherry on top of having subversive elements advising our Dear Leader

Obama is bringing sleezy chicago-style thuggery to the White House. MSNBC is inciting violence with their call to thugs to come to townhall meeting. This is getting close to all out war, and i am not sure it won’t end in riots. Obama’s thuggery style is dividing this country more than I have seen in decades. It is going to get really ugly real soon.

There will be no mystery in any of this to those who have read William Shirer’s and/or Alexander Solzhenityn’s excellent volumes. It does seem, however, that there are a number of Americans who believe, mistakenly, that “it can’t happen here.”

It can, and, as a matter of fact, it is.

I cannot help but recall the old adage about ducks, so modified a bit, if it sounds like Marx, and acts like Mussolini, it is probably Obama..."

Good one! All the same, this is getting less funny every day.

For some reason, the search engine is missing things. This is the second time this week that it showed “no results” when there was a previous posting.

Vigorous attempts at the unthinkable will happen here, though it’s up to the people how they will respond.

My suspicion on why the flaggots [sic] at the White House are gathering this information: they want to know where to send out the Chicago Way storm troopers. Not to dissidents’ front doors (that would be too obvious) but to the sham “town halls.”

It follows that the way to discombobulate would be to make candid (or manufactured) reports that get the flaggots going on wild goose chases to other places.

we have the White House's apparent confidence that it need not bother fretting over the appearance of totalitarianism.

That would be because there is a total blackout of coverage over the WH sponsored beatings of protesters by union goons this morning in the socialist press.

Sad to say, but its going to take mass arrests, sit ins, and all other manner of leftist tactics to get the message out.

"No one will fully comprehend
the historical implications and strategy of fascist corporativism
except the true FASCIST manipulator
or the researcher
who is able to slash through the smoke screens
and disguises the fascists set up."

It sounds so outrageous that you would think it could, but it is.

A poster on Atlas Shrugs said “This is the third thing in three days that I have that belongs on a conspiracy theory site, but it’s not.

That’s exactly how I feel. Dear God.

The article makes some excellent points, and if you start adding everything up it is very disturbing. I realize I am only seeing this from a small town in Arkansas - but I am having a hard time getting my mind around the idea our NG or any military component would turn on their communities. I am sure we have individuals who would, but of the members of the Armed Services that I know, I can’t see them doing this. I think we have honorable people in our military for the most part - and I can’t imagine this would get very far without open rebellion in the ranks. Am I missing something?-—JM

Why do you think Obama wants a UNIVERSAL CITIZEN SERVICE?
It's a way around
UNIVERSAL CITIZEN SERVICE wouldn't fall under those laws, hence they could round up and kill United States Citizens.

Think it couldn't happen?

They don't seem to have made much progress since the article in your link was written in 1971.

Pretty up to date, eh?
