I saw this at Zero Hedge yesterday, it is good to see it here.
But, I bet it won’t get more than twenty posts.
Most of the nation is fast asleep.

Curious. I do notice the Naomi Wolf porn thread went quite long. It seems the really important things get short attention even here at FR.
* * * The prevalence of apathy and ignorance sets the stage for the slow and highly deliberate process of centralization. Once dishonest governments accomplish an atmosphere of inaction and condition a sense of frailty within the citizenry, the sky is truly the limit. However, a murderous power-monger’s day is never quite done. In my recent article ‘The Essential Rules of Liberty’ we explored the fundamentally unassailable actions and mental preparations required to ensure the continuance of a free society. In this article, let’s examine the frequently wielded tools of tyrants in their invariably insane quests for total control… * * ** * * All disasters, all violent crimes, all the ills of the world, are hoisted upon the shoulders of activist groups and political rivals. They are falsely associated with fringe elements already disliked by society (racists, terrorists, etc).
A bogus consensus is created through puppet media in an attempt to make the public believe that “everyone else” must have the same exact views, and those who express contrary positions must be “crazy”, or “extremist”. Events are even engineered by the corrupt system and pinned on those demanding transparency and liberty. The goal is to drive anti-totalitarian organizations into self censorship. That is to say, instead of silencing them directly, the state causes activists to silence themselves. * * *
This is precisely why the RHINOS in Congress are so dangerous. They give the 'great anointed leader' an opposition group of moderate shills to spout compromising words and phrases. In many ways wimpy idiots like John McCain are far more dangerous than Obama.
As I have said many times here on FR -- we have been taken over by elites who follow their own agenda. Our famous two party system is fake. Just like our elections are mostly fake today with voting machines stealing votes as easy as substituting ones for zeros.
Everything political is a stage play for the unwashed masses.
