American Government Terrorizes America After 9/11 Attacks
http://usa.mediamonitors.net/content/view/full/3381/

"Apparently, all Al Qaeda has to do is to "chatter" via nameless radio communications and the Homeland Security Department will declare "Code Orange" or "Code Red" and the American people will be terrorized into fear of an imminent attack. Al Qaeda does not have to lift arms, expose personnel to danger, do any actual damage or violence -- just chatter away and Tom Ridge will do the real work of terrorizing the American people."

1. "Chatter"
Yep, that's the way it works.

2. a poignant quote
"It is the American government, not Al Qaeda which is able and desirous of removing American freedoms, so that the corporate elite which controls government and commerce can continue strangling the economy created by the American people. "

I think that pretty much sums it up.

Thanks for posting this.

3. I think America has
more to fear from people like me than the foreign born terrorist....just a thought. I doubt any one but the sheeple take this alert thing seriously.

5. Lenin vs FDR
V. I. Lenin: "The purpose of terrorism is to create terror."

FDR: "We have nothing to fear but fear itself."

And so one asks, whose side is the Bush admin actually on? OBL could never have asked for a more cooperative partner.

6. We scare 'em and then we save them
"George Bush and Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld and Condi Rice and Colin Powell have terrorized far more Americans far more times than bin Laden ever did! Bin Laden can hardly get airtime in America any more -- but frightening the American people is a full-time job for many members and employees of the American government. "

Munchhausen politics at work.......they cause the problem and then they solve it to make us feel safe...People need to wake up and see what is really going on in this administration.

Kate, on Cap Gang said that whatever this administration is doing is working since we haven't had any more 9-11's.......

How many times have they implied that they have saved us.... We need to demand proof........., but that would breach security issues. Yeah, right.
