America's biggest threat comes from within
August 19, 2007
Roberts warns us that Bush has put into place all the necessary measures for dictatorship in the form of executive orders that are triggered whenever Bush declares a national emergency.
Ask yourself: Would a government that has lied us into Iraq and is working to lie us into an attack on Iran shrink from staging terrorist attacks in order to remove opposition to its agenda? Bush already ignores public opinion and laws he doesn't like. His secret spying network is in place.
He has politicized all levels of government, appointing cronies who are loyal to him rather than competent officials. Has he been setting the groundwork for dictatorship?
Adolf Hitler, who never achieved majority support in a German election, used the Reichstag fire to fan hysteria and push through the Enabling Act, which >u>made him dictator. Determined tyrants never require majority support in order to overthrow democratic constitutions. They declare "national emergencies." A series of staged or permitted terrorist attacks would accomplish that.
On a recent radio show, Roberts said, "Americans think their danger is terrorists. They don't understand the terrorists cannot take away habeas corpus, the Bill of Rights, the Constitution.... The terrorists are not anything like the threat we face from our own government in the name of fighting terrorism."
Is Roberts - Republican, Reagan appointee, conservative newspaper editor - far out when he warns, "The American constitutional system is near to being overthrown"? One certainly hopes so. [WA: But terrified he isn't.]

What was once just a bitter joke, now hovers over all of us like a storm cloud.
ReplyDeleteThere will be no 08 elections.
It used to be, you had to own a tinfoil hat to say that.
Now all you need is to live in America.
The Nazis used a similar argument when they tried to take over the world which is a huge irony.
ReplyDeleteThe country that most helped to defeat Hitler is now aping him! Heil Bush.
I wonder if he still is a WSJ editor? I've not seen anything like that written in there. The WSJ has a lot of interesting articles, but when it comes to the editorial page (incl. letters to the editors), I cringe!
