In 2002, John Dean considered the probable consequences of the "one more
hit," which he thought of as another domestic terrorist attack - though the
hurricane can work even better for this purpose, especially with what
certainly looks like deliberate worsening of the aftermath. Mr. Dean thought
it quite possible that a great disaster like another terrorist attack could
be successfully manipulated by the Administration into a functional
suspension of the Constitution that he called "constitutional dictatorship."

Is this why we have 28 states under a State of Emergency, and ShrubCo asking
for
more power over the military?

From Tommy Franks, a doomsday scenario

By ROBYN E. BLUMNER, Times Perspective Columnist
Published December 7, 2003

The doomsday scenario was laid out by Gen. Tommy Franks, the recently
retired head of CentCom, in of all places the December edition of Cigar
Aficionado magazine.

"What is the worst thing that can happen in our country?" Franks asked
rhetorically. "Two steps. The first step would be a nexus between weapons of
mass destruction . . . and terrorism." The second step would be "the western
world, the free world, loses what it cherishes most, and that is freedom and
liberty we've seen for a couple of hundred years in this grand experiment
that we call democracy."

Franks suggested that a "massive casualty-producing event" might cause "our
population to question our own Constitution and begin to militarize our
country."


ShrubCo is dangerous to Democracy. Let's pull their plug.
