To What End?

[OnyxCollie]

With Bushco spinning like crazy to secure the tools of their trade (ie. domestic surveillance, military tribunals), I have to ask, To what end do they (and those who come after) hope to bring this state? An absolute hegemony using spying, torture, and kangaroo courts against all citizens, domestic and foreign, that do not serve to the benefit of the state? Nazi Germany/Stalinist Russia redux for the 21st century? States that boast torture, prisons, spying, and searches don't usually take the concerns of its citizens to heart. States that do so only seek to increase their power, destroying all who stand in their way. Would not this also be the inevitable final destination of the US? In the recent weeks, the concept of Nazism has been expressed openly in the mainstream by, in a somewhat surprisingly frank moment, Bushco. Now, it had been generally verboten to make comparisons to Hitler. The heinous crimes against humanity committed by the Nazi's are so severe, that to make serious comparisons to contemporary figures would only serve as an indictment against the nations of the world to never allow such an atrocity to happen again. And it is true, there currently are no concentration camps with ovens blazing. But while I share this sentiment, I would not compare Chimpy to Hitler for that reason: Compared to cruel, soulless efficiency of the Nazis, Bushco is a total failure. His replacement, however, has already been chosen. I do not believe those who designed this will concede and relinquish their plans. They will do whatever is necessary to achieve their goal. If an immediate reversal of direction does not occur, this nation is doomed.
