The End of America

I had never heard of Naomi Klein till this thread.

Obama is an extension of Bush. When it comes to foreign policy, civil liberties etc. they're the same. The only real difference is that Obama doesn't have the war hawk Dick Cheney trying to run the show. Unending wars. Nothing changes.

The 2 party system is bullshit. It's a puppet show. They fight (elections) to see who will be the main players. Who ever wins, gets their strings pulled by the puppet masters.

Yes, something like that. You don't get to play puppet unless you continue the status quo.

I think this describes her work pretty well..

In the mainstream press, The New York Times published a harshly critical assessment of Wolf's work: Caryn James lambasted the book as a "sloppily researched polemic as dismissible as a hackneyed adventure film...Even by the standards of pop-cultural feminist studies, "The Beauty Myth" is a mess." After rejecting her thesis, the review leveled even harsher appraisal of her methodology and statistics, writing, "Ms. Wolf doesn't begin to prove her claims because her logic is so lame, her evidence so easily knocked down...Her statistics are shamefully secondhand and outdated."[19] In a comparatively positive review, The Washington Post called the book "persuasive" and praised its "accumulated evidence."[20]

This sounds very Obama-esk...

The End of America: A Letter of Warning to a Young Patriot, Wolf takes a historical look at the rise of Fascism, outlining the 10 steps necessary for a Fascistic group (or government) to destroy the democratic character of a nation-state and subvert the social/political liberty previously exercised by its citizens:

1. Invoke a terrifying internal and external enemy.
2. Create secret prisons where torture takes place.
3. Develop a thug caste or paramilitary force not answerable to citizens.
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. Treat all political dissidents as traitors.
10. Suspend the rule of law.[27]

84 civilazations have come and gone since the garden for only one reason Complete disdain for authority. Complete lack of the Moral Law even before it was written on stone. Man Depravity. Naomi should know this. America is no different. Spud

 

[Mr. Jones]

Change is inevitable. The only question is what direction it takes.

This is a very true statement, however why does "change" always end up hurting the average American citizen in one way or another, and never benefiting us?

Is it Bush's fault that Americans are too dumb to understand Newtonian physics 41 years after the Moon landing?

Where are all of the educators complaining about science education AND demanding to know the distributions of steel and concrete that were in the WTC?

This is why I don't walk into the Conspiracy Theories Forum

So you think 1360 foot skyscrapers can be constructed without the designers figuring out how much steel and concrete is going on every level before the hole is dug for the foundation?

So you think it is possible to analyze a 200 ton mass hitting a tall slightly flexible 400,000 ton mass at 550 mph without applying Newtonian physics?

The laws of physics don't give a damn about conspiracies.

The people of the world don't give a damn about you.

We're even.

Dial up Bush on the phone and lay this blame on him. Should do much to make his Saturday a terrific day...

If you were Bush, would you even own a phone?

Hell, I wouldn't. No TV. No Radio. No Newspaper.......I'd spend all day writing my memoires and watching Bugs Bunny cartoons while sittin' in air conditioned comfort at my ranch in Crawford, TX

How is he going to watch bugs bunny with no tv?

Best-selling author Naomi Wolf (The Beauty Myth) makes a chilling case that American democracy is under threat
In a stunning indictment of sweeping policy changes during the Bush years, best-selling author Naomi Wolf (The Beauty Myth) makes a chilling case that American democracy is under threat. Investigating parallels between our current situation and the rise of dictators and fascism in once-free societies, Wolf uncovers a number of deeply unsettling similarities-from the use of paramilitary groups and secret prisons to the targeted suspension of the rule of law. With this galvanizing call to arms based on her recent book, she urges regular citizens to take back our legacy of freedom and justice.

Good thread J.btw,J,you never answered my question I asked on this thread here which was are you Now saying you accept the truth that you were brainwashed by the government and media and were a Bush dupe for a long time since you made this thread?
http://www.usmessageboard.com/consp...losives-found-in-world-trade-center-dust.html

Because you used to be a major Bush dupe and defended the fairy tales of the 9/11 coverup commission. 9/11 was the springboard to the end of america.

Not so sure that thats a bad thing since it was the white man who murdered and slaughtered millions of indians.

Anybody wonder why the dumb bitch is selling her bullshit for American dollars if the end is right around the corner? Of course not, the brain is a muscle you dumbfucks don't use.

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

'Hallmarks of Fascism' How many of these fit America today?

anti-intellectualism
repudiation of rationalism and reason, emotion over reason
leader discovers and represents the will of the people
the state over the individual
nation supremacy, nationalism, national greatness
social Darwinism and constant struggle
action for actions sake, violence to strengthen nation
corporation-state unity
faith in the nation and the leader
hero worship
police state, crushing of opposition
National Socialism - add racism to fascism

I don’t know about America but that sure sums up the TPM well.

Did Bush ever provide a long form birth certificate?

I would imagine that 90% of the country would be shocked to find out that Bush was born in Connecticut.
