Interesting Article on Potential Fascism in America

http://www.guardian.co.uk/usa/story/0,,2064157,00.htm


Personally, the article gives far too much credit to Bush because I highly doubt he is the mastermind of some great conspiracy. However, research into any of the following groups/topics will bring about unsettling results: Council on Foreign Relations, Carlyle Group, KBR, Bilderberg Group, origins of the Federal Reserve, North American Union, and so on. Also, the REAL ID, which I posted about earlier ties into this as well.

However, the linked article does mention the consolidation of Mass Media.

Here is a quote from David Rockefeller of the infamous Rockefeller Family:

"For more than a century ideological extremists at either end of the political spectrum have seized upon well-publicized incidents ... to attack the Rockefeller family for the inordinate influence they claim we wield over American political and economic institutions. Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as 'internationalists' and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure - one world, if you will. If that's the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it."

- David Rockefeller, "Memoirs" autobiography (2002, Random House publishers), page 405

The New York Time's Influence

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/01/25/opinion/25fri1.html?_r=1&oref=slogin

This is the New York Times article and their endorsement of John McCain and Hillary Clinton for President. This kind of presence and respect for the opinions of a national newspaper such as the NYT says a lot about the newspaper business and the impact it still has.

Would I be swayed by an endorsement like this one?
It depends. I do value the opinion of the well respected, well read, and well educated staff. However, does it sway my opinion? No. For an undecided voter; however, I could see the potential influence and impact of an article like this.

Get in SANE


SANE is a community that promotes the pursuit of a neverending education. The acronym SANE stands for Socratic Americans for Neverending Education, and SANE's main purpose is to encourage active discussion on a wide array of topics in addition to spreading the message that education is something that shouldn't end once a degree is achieved.

Say "No" to the REAL ID (National ID)

Some of you may have heard about the REAL ID act, which will require all US citizens to have a National ID card, equipped with a RFID chip, which will enable those with access to the system to track a person's every move. Not only is the REAL ID invasive, but it makes identity theft much easier for tech savvy hackers. For a comprehensive breakdown and up to date news on the REAL ID goto http://epic.org/privacy/id-cards/ EPIC is the Electronic Privacy Information Center and they work to ensure Americans have the privacy and freedom that they deserve.

While the government wants to implement the REAL ID by May 2008, they have allowed extensions to states that can't adjust in time. Nevertheless, the goal is for every American to have a REAL ID by 2012. If you value your privacy and freedom, resist the REAL ID at all costs. The government has been using the threat of terrorism to restrict the liberties of American citizens and the REAL ID is the perfect example of the mind games the government plays to keep American citizens in check.
