What if the country finally caught on to what's really happening?
Edited on Thu Jun-23-05 07:34 PM by ailsagirl
I know it's a big "IF" but say that happens-- or, at least,
a healthy percentage of the populace-- and they're up in
arms and demand the neocons to resign. It's front page
news everywhere (I really am dreaming, aren't I?).

Somehow I can't see bushco folding-- I have this fear that
they'd say, in essence, "TOUGH LUCK, PEOPLE-- we're not
going anywhere. We're here to stay!! So shut up or we'll
shut you up-- permanently!!"

Anyone else ever thought this? Can you honestly see them
quietly going home??

It's reminiscent of something Rod Serling would have written.

3. I hope you're right but I can't help remembering that they have
the means (arsenal) to "whip us into shape." If we get unruly,
they can nuke us. There's no one to intercede-- no one to protect
us, no running away. Imagine, we were the ALLIES in WWII.

What an Orwellian nightmare.

2. They're not invincible....
Edited on Thu Jun-23-05 07:13 PM by Jade Fox
In many ways they are like the man behind the curtain in the Wizard of
Oz: a lot of noise and special effects.

We need to recognize our own power. WE put the DSM on the map.
WE fought to have the truth of Gitmo exposed. And right now Bushco is
spining so hard they're losing track of their own bullshit, and pulling
whatever they can out of their bag of tricks.

Sooner or later these people are going down. And it will be because
of all of us who have fought them for 5 years now.

4. Good points, Jade Fox. I'm not going to stop the fight-- that would
be foolish. As long as I'm alive and kicking, I'll be fighting.
:patriot:

5. No
I think they're here to stay. I posted links in a thread I started on the DU Peak Oil discussion group that discussed the way the WH and VP residence were adapted after Bush took control. All solar this, photovoltaic that and a huge water cistern, and they won't tell specifically what was done to the VP residence but it involved loud booms. You can search my name or do a Google search if you're curious, but they really settled in.

6. The evangelicals and the uninformed need to start thinking
This posting may help.

When you understand the bigger picture and how scriptures have been abused, you'll get those hardcore Bible believers scratching their heads and thinking, Holy Moly, I just might be wrong about those liberal types after all. This will cause 'much weeping and gnashing of teeth' in the Republican Central Committees and neocon camps nationwide.

Teee Heeee !

9. Yes, I've thought about it.
The way I see it, it's entirely possible now, and has been for years (since at least Patriot I).

I'm not sure they'd be that brazen, actually, but they sure could pull another awful attack on the U.S. out of their hats and make everyone so afraid that they'll go along with martial law.

Edited on Thu Jun-23-05 07:33 PM by ailsagirl
Gee, aren't we lucky that we get to live during this exciting
time in American history??
:sarcasm:

Thanks a lot, you bastards

11. Bush will close down the newspapers, radio and tv stations
before he'll let them report the truth.

12. The big media conglomerates already know...
The only thing that will garner the crowds you envisage would be them, deciding that all this crap is really bad for the bottom line.
