Tommy Franks lets slip the Neo-Con's desire, martial law, police state...

From Tommy Franks, A Doomsday Scenario
Robyn E. Blumner

The doomsday scenario was laid out by Gen. Tommy Franks, the recently retired head of CentCom, in of all places the December edition of Cigar Aficionado magazine. “What is the worst thing that can happen in our country?” Franks asked rhetorically. “Two steps. The first step would be a nexus between weapons of mass destruction . . . and terrorism.” The second step would be “the western world, the free world, loses what it cherishes most, and that is freedom and liberty we’ve seen for a couple of hundred years in this grand experiment that we call democracy.”

Franks suggested that a “massive casualty-producing event” might cause “our population to question our own Constitution and begin to militarize our country.”

For those tapped into the alternative media world of the Internet, the quotes bounced around faster than a Paris Hilton sex video. Franks, a four-star general, was warning of a future he sees as possible if not likely. Our economy might survive another terrorist assault, so might our mass culture - it’ll take more than a nuclear device to shut up Jessica Simpson - but the prognosis for the Constitution is bleak.

more...if you can grasp it...

1. as far as I can tell we're already in full-blown fascism n/t

[RBHam]

3. Just wait until the Joint Chiefs and Cheney unleash 9-11 Part two.

All of America will look like the Gulf Coast.

5. Granted, it can get worse, but it is already fascism. n/t

2. And Franks is your idea of genius?

He makes me think of Karl Marx, who thought Germany would be a communist country, because the others were too backward.

All fascists have the same fantasy. Remember the last photos of Il Duce? He was hanging upside down. I always picture George that way.

6. Huh? Franks is a technician - that's why he let it slip.

The brains, like Cheney, Perle and Wolfowitz set the policy.

Franks is just one of the hired goons.

4. With army recruitment rates down and NO police handing in their badges...

I don't think there'll be anyone left to enforce martial law. There'll be revolution first.

7. Who do you think the Brownshirts will rally behind?

Who has the most guns?

[whistle]

8. I heard that Holland offered their experts on flood control and...

...10,000 temporary housing units be sent to the hurricane stricken Gulf coast areas and BushCo turned down the offer.

Also, Iran has offered U.S. billions of dollars in aid and five billion barrels of crude oil at a guaranteed cost of $35 per barrel to help get the U.S. through this disaster and once again the Bush administration turned down the offer.

Lastly, there is a bill being introduced on the U.S. House floor to have military uses of weather as a weapon be in place by October 1, 2005.

It all fits.:wtf:

9. Can I get H.R. numbers for that bill? n/t
