(229 posts)Advocating kicking the Koch-DLC-Globalists (the "Rand" Koch) out of the Democratic Party - i.e. actually having a "worker's party" that opposes Wars for Corporate Profit - is quite different than pushing a 3rd Party route in under the current electoral framework.
I'm with you 100% on the OTHER 'local' aspects of the Police State (but trace their funding, armored personnel carriers, and militant-training back to the feds) - but it is not one or the other. The "find and disappear" lists and systems used in other nations were written by the same folks who are running the MIC and "Intelligence" systems we have - which are now turning their eye to Americans.
It is now the "law of the land" that you can be held *forever* without charge. Dem-Senator Levin says the order to include Americans in that category was a WH directive - not that it would be 'OK' for any "non-American" human being, but their needs seem to be "Off the Table," along with Bush II's Well Deserved Impeachment for Torture / Crimes Against Humanity.
The sad thing is we didn't care enough to put those "Intelligence Operative" war-criminals and torturers on trial for what they did for decades overseas on behalf of their Kleptocrat Transnational-Corporate masters (granted, ignorance, thanks to MSM-ownership, was a factor). If we had, we would not be having this conversation today, as the chickens come home to roost.
But then, if Nixon had gone to jail (thanks, Ford) ... if Bush Jr had gone to jail (thanks, Pelosi and Obama) ... if the American People had said No Way to electing the former head of the KGB - er, I mean CIA - to the presidency (Bush I - OP seems to have forgotten that) ... if, if, if.
All we can do NOW is educate people on Real History, so we can go forward from here armed with the knowledge of what past-actions - and inactions - brought into being.
