Old-line Republican warns ‘something’s in the works’ to trigger a police state
Raw Story
Excerpt:
Thom Hartmann began his program on Thursday by reading from a new Executive Order which allows the government to seize the assets of anyone who interferes with its Iraq policies.
He then introduced old-line conservative Paul Craig Roberts — a former Assistant Secretary of the Treasury under Reagan who has recently become known for his strong opposition to the Bush administration and the Iraq War — by quoting the “strong words” which open Roberts’ latest column: “Unless Congress immediately impeaches Bush and Cheney, a year from now the US could be a dictatorial police state at war with Iran.”
“I don’t actually think they’re very strong,” said Roberts of his words. “I get a lot of flak that they’re understated and the situation is worse than I say. … When Bush exercises this authority [under the new Executive Order] … there’s no check to it. It doesn’t have to be ratified by Congress. The people who bear the brunt of these dictatorial police state actions have no recourse to the judiciary. So it really is a form of total, absolute, one-man rule. … The American people don’t really understand the danger that they face.”

Bush is busy getting ready for the big weekend, the annual camping trip to the Bohemian grove (he is a member of the “Hillbillies” camp), where he and his cohorts will hold special secret sessions to finalize their plans for the next 9/11 – to sway us to submit to their will again. Chertoff mentioned it because he wants to be able to say “I told you I was worried about a summer attack”.
This attack will of course be linked to Iran, which will create a “coalition” to strike back. Also, it will provide the justification to impose even more restrictions on our freedom, perhaps even to postpone the 2008 election.
Unless one of the many potential whistle-blowers comes forward. They are already coming out of the woodwork, hopefully this generation’s “deep throat” is already providing information to someone to crack this thing wide open.
