10 steps to a dictatorship

People we need to get away from our partisanships. The Government does not care for the people of this country. They will give justr enough to make the people move the way they want them to move. Here are 10 steps you do not have to respond just look at the steps and ask yourself does any of this look familure? Be honest with yourself time is short.

1. Invoke a terrifying internal and external enemy
2. Create a gulag
3. Develop a thug caste
4. Set up an internal surveillance system
5. Harass citizens' groups
6. Engage in arbitrary detention and release
7. Target key individuals
8. Control the press
9. Dissent equals treason
10. Suspend the rule of law

I found an excellent blog that outlined step-by-step how to create your own gulag.

Rick's Blog: How to Create Your Own Gulag

I made one of my own in the back yard...painted it yellow.

I don't think thats what she's talking about.

Create a gulag

Once you have got everyone scared, the next step is to create a prison system outside the rule of law (as Bush put it, he wanted the American detention centre at Guantánamo Bay to be situated in legal "outer space") - where torture takes place.

At first, the people who are sent there are seen by citizens as outsiders: troublemakers, spies, "enemies of the people" or "criminals". Initially, citizens tend to support the secret prison system; it makes them feel safer and they do not identify with the prisoners. But soon enough, civil society leaders - opposition members, labour activists, clergy and journalists - are arrested and sent there as well.

This process took place in fascist shifts or anti-democracy crackdowns ranging from Italy and Germany in the 1920s and 1930s to the Latin American coups of the 1970s and beyond. It is standard practice for closing down an open society or crushing a pro-democracy uprising.

When Naomi Wolf was lecturing during the Bush administration she was roundly scoffed at as a loon by Conservatives. Now she makes sense?

Woah..what's changed?


The black guy won

Actually the black guy lied and did the opposite of what he said he was going to do.
 
Thank God it's easer to get to heaven, there are only 7 steps.

This is EXACTLY what neo-conservatives have done, and are still trying to do, but can't right now, because they don't have a puppet in the presidency.

SURPRISE! Obama's a politician just like the rest of them

So the hopey changy thingy was all a lie like I said it was?
Notice the minimization? Typical. Just excuse it as O and the others fritter away their liberties.

Frog/Pot Of Water/slow heat analogy applies...and they could care less as long as they have their hands out and accept the meager boubles and trinquets that are thrown thier way by these "politicians".

To most of us it is unacceptable.
 
The revolution will not be televised.

Neither will the police state announce itself as such.
 
Sounds familiar to the steps for Marxism. Like # 7 for one. Not all but some.
Also forgot gun control, disarming the nation is a key factor through laws making it hard to buy ammo or other garbage legislation which isn't in the interest of the citizens.

Ten Planks of the Communist Manifesto

Government grabbing up industry and land, ie: converting land to state forests, habitats and such. And their doing a great job of bankrupting us all, and BTW, inflation IS here, just check your local supermarkets for one. This government is suppressing this news in hopes of pulling the wool over our eyes.......again. Listen to Washington and EVERYTHING is ROSEY, yes it is....FOR THEM.
 
1. Put the middle and lower classes in debt slavery to the upper classes, and big corporations - Obama's bailout, as well as high unemployment, the housing market collapse, and a big reduction home ownership.

2. Control the food supply - Monsanto and a few multi-nationals have control of the US food supply, as well as the food safety monitoring panels.

3. Control of the government - US politicians have to appeal to corporations and special interest groups for money to get elected, as such they own the politicians and could use them to set up a corporate police state.

4. Undermining of the constitution - According to the Obama administration the founders of America wanted a big government that imposes high taxes on its citizens against their will, controls society, dictates what people should be allowed to say or think (political correctness), and censors the truth.

5. Bribe the military and police, and engineer a coup, putting an elite group of people in total power i.e. establish a corporate police state.

^Could do it in 5 steps actually, America is up to 4 now.

Really? Then you shouldn't have a problem defending her now. Why is that you think the take over will happen over night? You should be saying welcome aboard.

I didn't defend her then.

I thought Bush was doing some very assinine things..that were roundly Unconstitutional. But I did not..and still do not think he was going for a dictatorship.
 
I'd be taking you a hell of a lot more seriously if you'd complained about this 9 years ago, or so. Why?

1. Invoke a terrifying internal and external enemy

Muslim Extremists want to kill you, your pets and your baby.

2. Create a gulag

Gitmo

3. Develop a thug caste

Neo-Con Right Wing Radio.

4. Set up an internal surveillance system

Yippee for Warrantless Wiretapping and Federal Mandated backdoors into Phones, Cell Phone, and Internet Providers.

5. Harass citizens' groups

See the Smearing, and subsequent FBI investigations of Iraq War Protestors.

6. Engage in arbitrary detention and release

Been to the airport since 9/11?

7. Target key individuals

Rendition.

8. Control the press

Fox and the effort to smear any political organization that dissented from the Bush White House.

9. Dissent equals treason

treason.jpg


10. Suspend the rule of law

Executive Orders are fun. How many were there again during 2000-2008.

Those of us that dislike the expansion of the Federal Government tried to warn you all on the Right not to just blindly support some of the BS after 9/11. It's too bad your knees were knocking too loud to hear it.

You done good by posting this. But as the responses illustrate no good deed goes unpunished.
