Since my first deployment to South East Asia, I have seen this great country gradually slip away. America has gone from being the world's greatest creditor nation, standing as a beacon of hope for the world, to the world's biggest debtor nation, where 42 million Americans rely on food stamps to survive...it is happening right now in front of us. Like it or not, America is a Totalitarian Dictatorship, and this article will help you understand why. After the Oklahoma City Bombing, my job required that I attend a two-day briefing on counter terrorism. At that meeting, several people from the DoD, NSA, and FBI repeatedly stated that the biggest threat to National Security was domestic terrorism. The specific examples they provided were members of the National Rifle Association, Right to Life Organizations, Military Veterans, and others who were merely exercising their constitutional rights, or in some cases, doing nothing at all. Myself and others were encouraged to engage in a program where we would report on coworkers, employees, and neighbors about such things as “subversive” bumper stickers. Since it’s the role of the government to protect constitutional rights, including the freedom of speech, I understood this was no longer a country dedicated to liberty and the rule of law – since none of these activities are illegal. Obama’s Marxist mentor, Zbigniew Brzezinski, and his associate, Carl Friedrich, equated socialism and totalitarianism saying, “[It] is a system of revolution, which seeks to destroy the existing political order so it can be changed economically, socially, and culturally.” so as to comply with socialist ideology. “Totalitarian movements, motivated by the general goals which their ideologies outline, have thus not stopped at the seizure of power.”

If it were, there’d be a reason to fight. Instead, what we have is a passive-aggressive nanny state.
We lost the war on communism. The leftists knew it would take a full generation and during that time they infiltrated every institution we have. Like a virus, using their tool of cognitive dissonance they were slowly shifting the foundations the country was built on. Most of us never noticed, those who could see the future were ridiculed and labelled paranoid or conspiracy theorists. Now the destabilization period is near completion —the values are nearly identical to the value system taught in the former USSR. The left knew destabilization led to the next stage-revolution. We are nearly there.

OUTSTANDING informative/educational article. Thanks very much for posting. HOORAY Ray Peach! The architecture for converting (Levin’s) “soft tyranny” to Obama’s “fundamental [radical] transformation” is certainly under construction and rapidly moving forward.

We are not yet there. Paramilitary action by state and municipal police forces against nonviolent civil disobedient demonstrations is not yet a reality, quite. Purging judges, politicians and bureaucrats for their commitment to constitutional government has not started, yet. But we are close. It will only take one more election in which leftists dominate. The US is a nation of guns and violence. This will not end well.
Show them photos of the bodies splattered on the ground from the 9-11 jumpers.
Then show them a typical pickup truck.
Ask how many more people were killed by the one, than the other...

I made (and have) bumper stickers on my vehicles that have a picture of a 30-30 rifle and the statement “The Second Amendment-—the only protection for the First Amendment.”
Your graphic says “2002-03” - so I’m guessing it’s even worse now!
I don’t know that I’d go that far. We are, however, being run by a total dic.
That's the plan - lull us into non-action until they can finally overcome that pesky Constitutional right to bear arms. If that ever occurs, you can expect the widespread, out-in-the-open, tactics to begin.

EXCERTS:
CONGRESS TO FUND MASSIVE EXPANSION OF TSA CHECKPOINTS.
Fears over burgeoning police state increase after passage of NDAA
Paul Joseph Watson
Infowars.com
Friday, December 23, 2011
"Congress is set to give the green light on funding for a massive expansion of TSA checkpoints, with the federal agency already responsible for over 9,000 such checkpoints in the last year amidst increased fears America is turning into a police state following the passage of the ‘indefinite detention’ bill.
"The increase in funding has nothing to do with the TSA’s role in airports – this is about creating 12 more VIPR teams to add the federal agency’s 25 units that are already scattered across the country and responsible for manning checkpoints on highways, in bus and train terminals, at sports events and even high school prom nights.
"The TSA’s 25 'viper' teams — for Visible Intermodal Prevention and Response — have run more than 9,300 unannounced checkpoints and other search operations in the last year. Department of Homeland Security officials have asked Congress for funding to add 12 more teams next year,” reports the L.A. Times.
"The demand for $24 million in extra funding is in addition to the $110 million spent in fiscal year 2011. The figures are completely independent from the federal agency’s role inside the nation’s airports, which costs taxpayers $5 billion a year.
If the Republicans in the House vote for this, they had better be looking over their shoulders come next year as they may just find themselves "challenged!"
If we are not one great big prison yet, it is not for lack of structure. The thing is built. There are enough laws to make America a maximum security prison. There are security features: cards, surveillance, databases, Social Security numbers, licenses, swat teams, TSA, Homeland Security, dependency programs including welfare and public education, and much more.
It is all there. Enough law to trap, imprison, tyrannize, oppress, crush all of us. All it lacks is the person or persons willing to take control openly.
And that is inevitable. Why? Because it's there and because every one of us has contributed to it. We participate in the programs, support them with our tax dollars. It is almost impossible to find a single adult in America who is neither paying taxes nor partaking of taxpayer-funded programs. Everyone is in the game and everyone is getting a little loot out of it. Some of us allow government teachers to mold our children's minds. Some allow TSA agents to grope them. Most of us contribute to the salaries of those government agents. And why do we do that? Because we don't want to be locked up individually.
For lack of courage to resist, we are already in the prison built around us. The current gang in power sees no need to spring the trap shut today.
Another gang will come. It always does.
Either that or they rapidly lose interest in anything other than power once they have seized it.
"To hide this, socialists say that things would have worked, if only the elite had more power, money, or time."
...and use this as a tactic to seize more power.
"Failure is always someone else’s fault."
The usual ploy of the Left. These people cannot be truthful; if they were, they would never be able to achieve their goal: power over everyone else.
And the fundamental flaw of the theories of Karl Marx is that they require a brutal, iron-fisted dictatorship for their establishment and implementation, and the dictator behaves like any other brutal, iron-fisted dictator--as is written in blood on every page of history.
Yet millions of morons continue to ignore the obvious.
P.T. Barnum said it even better than George Orwell did.
The article does not mention that this 2009, the Rand Corporation developed a report was sponsored by the US Army. From the RAND website selling the report to the public.
The research described in this report was sponsored by the United States Army and conducted by the RAND Arroyo Center.
Just what this country needs; a goon squad ready and willing to do Dear Leader’s bidding.
See if you can do it with a video camera going...

“Next time, go up to one of them IN PUBLIC with other attendees watching.”
Only if you want to be dragged away and thrown in jail.
You can get away with that if you are left wing pond scum, but if you are conservative, you are already on the terrorist watch list.
It is foolish to approach the elites individually and confront them with the truth. What needs to happen is 50 million tea party members surround them and not back down until their corrupt a$$es flee in panic. That’s never going to happen because conservatives are too busy arguing with each other over nits to join forces effectively.
The clarion call was when the federal judiciary made us buss our children to different schools to balance “DIVERSITY.”
The people went along just like Jews to boxcars headed to the concentration camps.
That was that very minute that we slipped into a society that fragrantly disobeyed the Constitution and accepted the path to Communism/Socialism.
You had to live in those days as an adult to fully understand, for those who matured after those days could not possibly understand the freedoms we had before that point in time.
Americans have turned from lions to lambs through the following years and now gleefully accept anything the government lets them do or bestows upon them.
There is an article that I read today that clearly states the open handover of our rights to the state: http://www.infowars.com/congress-to-fund-massive-expansion-of-tsa-checkpoints
Everyone should be aware of this article.
That's because the treasonous RINO vermin (themselves likely infiltrated with literal Communist, Marxist moles) who hold the levers of power in the GOP did nothing to defend Palin, instead choosing to hide under their own bed and suck their...thumb, while whimpering.
NO cheers, unfortunately.
...but Merry Christmas.
if you are conservative, you are already on the terrorist watch list.
It is important to note the little known historical rules for government.
1) Government must eventually give the people what they want, no matter what they want. A good example of this is China, that regularly, at about 200 year intervals, would be invaded and conquered. But a hundred years after that, the invaders “would be Chinese, and do things the Chinese way”, having given up on their former culture.
2) A ratio determines whether a government or political system will survive or fail. This is the ratio of what the government promises vs. what it delivers. No matter how much it promises, if it delivers on those promises, it will likely survive. But if it does not deliver on its promises, it will likely fail.
The first axiom to this rule is that it does not matter as much *what* government promises, than that it delivers.
The second axiom is that political disagreement is more important to this than is agreement. Disagreement forces promise fulfillment, but if both sides agree to not deliver on promises, it jeopardizes the entire political system.
3) Democracy is the most successful political system in the world *not* because it offers freedom and liberty, which are admirable side effects, important to its proper function, but because democracy offers *efficiency*. And this *efficiency* can be seen by everyone from uneducated rural peasants, to royals.
This *efficiency* is best seen, however, at lower levels of function. At higher levels, the value of representational republicanism comes in to play, to maintain efficiency through managerial specialization.
4) Republican democracy has many enemies, however, within and without, and they often work together. To start with, both barbarism and criminal mobs are dependent on inefficiency, poverty and ignorance to maintain their power; and both realize what they want is thwarted by honesty, prosperity, and education.
Its second group of enemies are royalists and elitists, both of whom crave not just to be elevated above most others, but also that those others be diminished and deprived of what they want, to further enlarge the gap. Likewise, they strongly feel that such superiority and inferiority are hereditary. So their descent are also destined for elitism, and everyone else’s descent condemned to poverty and deprivation.
It should be noted that such people are so neurotic that they imagine their elitism to be a burden they are shouldering, in *support* of the “happy, carefree” lives of everyone else, those they think of as peasants or slaves.
The third threat to republican-democracy can best be described by the large number of people who are individually criminal or mentally ill. Anti-social people. The criminal create a terrible financial burden, and the mentally ill strive to force their delusions on society through manipulation of the law.
It is not the extreme cases of mental illness that are as problematic as those who are near normal, who can make persuasive arguments as to why society should embrace their abnormal worldview.
Thank you for posting this. It was a long ready but well worth it. Today’s politicians needs to realize that the best way to fix America is by the feds stepping back and leaving us the hell alone. Business can fix the economy. Abolish the DOE and let the states run education. If only I could be dictator for two years (having a dictator is unconstitutional too) I would slash the feds back to the original intent of the founders.
“We are not yet there. Paramilitary action by state and municipal police forces against nonviolent civil disobedient demonstrations is not yet a reality, quite”
tell that to the kids burned alive in Waco, Randy Weaver’s son and wife.
And isn’t it a shame that that article cannot be posted on FR. I tried yesterday. Here’s the link again:http://www.infowars.com/congress-to-fund-massive-expansion-of-tsa-checkpoints Go read it. Get motivated! Funding for VIPRE must stop!
Once FedGov™ conquered the state and killed the republic, the only thing left protecting the individual was the BILL OF Rights. That has been slowly dismantled since Wilson, the job is nearly complete. It's that nasty second amendment, it sure is a problem for the statist.....

Sic semper tyrannis.
But we only have the right to bear arms as long as five of nine politically appointed lawyers agree that we have that right.
I'm with Newt on this one - if they ever decide we don't have that right, their decision, and them, all become irrelevant to my actions. To quote a great American, Charleton Heston, "Not until they pry it from my cold, dead hands".
They still do that here in the police state of Wake County, NC. They had a Republican school board that trued to stop the insanity and like good guilt ridden sheep, they voted in a Democratic school board once again —who has vowed to continue the practice. Thankfully, every third person I meet, home-schools. They voted with their feet. But they don’t see the bigger picture and they’d never dare voice their true feelings in public.
I agree, have been saying the same thing for years.
That is exactly right, all of this has been going back and forth many years for instance the prohibition from 1919 to 1933, although other excuses were used it was only for the purpose of the Government to start war with the people, The Waco Texas massacre being an other example.
One step up toward the freedom that this country of the free Declared in the Declaration of independence and the Constitution and two steps back toward a socialist Government dictatorship.
As I’ve said elsewhere with a different topic: laws are walls.

I’m assuming the gray areas are the greenways. Not understanding fully your comment about difficulty in moving around. Are you saying there would no longer be roads through them? If so, wow.
Eliminating signs of human habitation from the greenways and the associated buffer zones is the eventual plan. It may take a couple of generations but it will happen. I’m sure the main roads and bigger towns will still exist but tiny villages like where I live in Norvell are slowly being squeezed.
While wandering the state land in recent years I’ve found a couple of permanently closed roads in my area. I find road signs out in the middle of hundreds of square acres of wilderness. I asked the old timers about them and they tell me that lots of roads have been “abandoned” over the last 30 years or so.
In the 15 years I’ve been here I’ve seen two bridges taken out never to be replaced.

IF true, goodbye America.
They may home school but they still pay full price (taxes) to the “Beast.”
The school districts still has their “jack boots” on their necks and if they don’t pay, they will lose their homes and property while the “Beast” gets fatter and fatter and fatter.
Well, in that case (and in the imortal words of Dear Leader's former, Chicago-thug advisor, "Rhambo" Emanuel) and not wanting to let a "Crisis--or opportunity--go to waste...."

>>> Instead, what we have is a passive-aggressive nanny state.<<<
This is what I see, too.
I’ve written about this in other places, but I’m going to repeat myself here. I think that the cultural Marxists had one thing correct - the culture of a place determines the appearance of socialism (or lack of it) in certain places. Yes, the author is correct that the machinery of totalitarianism are in place and waiting for the right person or party to implement it. But I don’t think that we’re going down the route of Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, or Hitler. We’re Americans.
I like your term “passive-aggressive nanny state.” It fits what I’ve been thinking about our culture.
I think we’ll preserve all of the trappings of a republic with limited government. School boards will meet and city councils will convene. Everything will be done according to law and precedent. However, the laws and accompanying regulations and administrative rules will become so dense and so personal that we will be living in a totalitarian state anyway. I’ve seen this in everything from land use planners ruling about the size of my garage to health officials telling me where I can smoke a cigarette to school administrators telling teachers how to greet children on Christmas. It’ll all have the veneer of republican virtue - public comments, open meetings, thick reports, a chance for appeal. However, it will have the actual effect of putting each person under the thumb of the state.
And it’s actually quite brilliant. Under national socialism, you might think that killing Hitler would end the madness. In the evolving American system, who are you going to shoot? The guy in a cubicle writing a letter based on a ruling from another guy in a cubicle based on administrative decisions found in the federal register created by a 4,000-page law? No one has responsibility; everyone has responsibility.
In fact, keep your guns. Go to church. Listen to Rush and Levin and Savage. Write that letter to the editor. Some bored-looking bureaucrat will listen kindly and convene a hearing. Maybe you’ll change a little here and little there. The structure will remain.
There’s no need for mass terror, either. Malcontents will be quietly called into the office and told to attend a weekend retreat to “re-educate” themselves about proper conduct, in the same way that we currently treat sexual harassment and diversity training. It’ll be at a swank hotel with a continental breakfast. You’ll sign a promise not to do it again. The presenters will smile. Your boss will put you on a plan of improvement. That should be enough for everyone else to notice.
What about those who really fight? A well-publicized show trial should do the trick, perhaps a few each decade, enough to make it known that the state has the power to quell discontent. Why kick in every 100 doors one night in the tradition of Stalin when you can broadcast a show trial to 10 million?
And don’t get the idea that we’ll be dealing with grim ideologues. We’re Americans. I saw this with my greenhouse project, supplied by the USDA last summer. A whole platoon of agriculture experts descended on my property, studied this and that, gave me “recommendations” that are really directives, and did it will politeness and a smile. Your health care bureaucrats will be that way, too. Like your kid’s teacher. If someone is rude, they’ll be reprimanded. They’re here to help.
And slowly, slowly, slowly, like cancer, the memory of a truly free United States will fade away as the old die and the young grow up. Eventually, I guess the whole thing will look like Byzantine Rome, with folks going through the actions while the elite try to direct every movement. The Byzantines survived for a thousand years, too.
I hope that this is a tin-foil hat fantasy. God help us.

IF true, goodbye America.
True.
Scary, huh? Pisses me off!

Thanks for ruining my day, brother. What you’ve described is exactly what I see happening every day.
In that case, it would take wide-scale Armageddon-level event to “reboot”.
Or, get into a special interest group that shows wicked solidarity and intimidates the nannies. This is easier for minorities than whites these days, but if some other axis is found which allows groups to coordinate, there is power to wield there. That is the Achilles’ heel of the modern right - that the various factions cannot seem to put aside their differences and agree on some things that really matter.
Or, some of us could do a non-violent form of asymmetrical warfare that amounts to throwing pebbles amongst the bandits and getting them to blame each other. Time to study up on social sabotage, they’ve been doing it to us for years.
Oh wow. Thanks. By God’s grace, they won’t get their way unchallenged.
