Tornado Alley (PROG)

chunga1 -- re posting elsewhere, it was hookrider's find, I assume he wouldn't mind, I certainly don't -- and there's more, some of which I'll be posting continuing that string of posts, on top of everything else earlier in that string

the thing that really gets me is, it's all basically happening in plain sight, piece by piece, and (apart from certain quarters) remarkably unremarked -- a bit here, more than just a bit there, that other over there, pretty soon if we really look at the whole situation we're talking real, well, fascism -- a status we've in fact since reached (the Federalist/neocon 'unitary executive'; dubya as 'the decider'; etc.), however gentle (for us) it may have been thus far -- this executive has asserted and is exercising unlimited powers above the law, above the Constitution, the Congress and the courts, and that has yet to be effectively challenged or checked -- all that remains to be seen now, imo, is whether the final overt suspension of constitutional government and law, and concomitant crackdown on enemies of the state, will be attempted, and if so will it succeed -- or whether instead we will actually make it to our next duly-elected administration, and if we do, then at least begin to back away from this abyss

and not to be repetitive, but again, in particular (items linked in) http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.asp?message_id=24779074 and preceding and following -- take a good look, as you clearly did with that piece re InfraGuard, then consider all this stuff together and ask yourself anew what you see -- . . .

in seeing what I see I want to be wrong -- oh I so hope I'm so fucking wrong -- I so don't need this stuff -- nothing would please me more than to be able to conclude that everything's fine, maybe some normal politics I may dislike, but nothing like the very survival of the Constitution and our nation as it has been under the Constitution being at stake -- but that kind of situation just is not what I see out there right now -- and I really don't think my seeing what I see is just me being silly
