A friend sent me this link to a video (about 45 minutes long). The synopsis is:
Naomi Wolf on
It not only can happen here, it is happening here.
Mussolini created the blueprint (with inspiration from Lenin), Hitler elaborated on it, Stalin studied Hitler...
Here's how it works (notice how many Bush & Co. is using now.):
1. Invoke a terrifying internal and external enemy
2. Create a gulag
3. Develop a thug caste
4. Set up an internal surveillance system
5. Harass citizens' groups
6. Engage in arbitrary detention and release
7. Target key individuals
8. Control the press
9. Dissent equals treason
10. Suspend the rule of law
Wolf's conclusion? Impeachment of Bush and Cheney is not enough. Prosecuting (and jailing) them for crimes committed is the only rational solution.
I wouldn't normally think my readers would be interested in this kind of stuff but something came up in this video that surprised me. She mentioned the 2nd Amendment. Each time she immediately went on to something else. She just used the words, "Second Amendment" then, basically, changed the subject.
Are the extreme left wing people (the organization who owns website for this video and many others with a similar theme is based in San Fransisco) thinking it's time to consider the 2nd Amendment as an individual right?
