9/11 has allowed them to put in place the prerequisite legal infrastructure to enforce not only a police state but a militarized society. None of us know precisely how that is going to be played out but stories like this "Special Operations Prepared for Domestic Missions" from the Washington Post:
http://blog.washingtonpost.com/earlywarning/2007/06/special_operations_p... make it fairly clear how the aftermath will be handled. It looks to me like they want to use the US population as a 'human resource' to fuel their 'will not end in our lifetime' war on terror. At this moment if the draft were re-instituted there are many nas-car dads and soccer-moms who wouldn't support it and would do everything in their power to keep little Ian and Ashley out of the military. The PTB have to fundamentally change that prevailing attitude and one of the ways they could do that is for an American city to be brutally attacked. (Personally, I think the New Orleans debacle was a kind of 'test run' for a lost city scenario.) As well as the actual horror of the situation there will be the media driven 24/7 extended horror, COG will go completely into effect, marshal law and the suspension of all civil liberties. No dissent will be tolerated from any quarter -- and they are clearly anticipating dissent, even direct, violent opposition. A good introduction to this can be found here: http://www.onlinejournal.com/artman/publish/article_203.shtml The real purpose of Homeland Security is the subjugation of the American people. With the media totally in their control and the apathy of most Americans turned by it to whatever external or internal enemy they identify, the plan will be complete. The entire society will be militarized and military service will not be a choice for anyone, male or female.

Like you, I can hardly wait for Peter's new book. That it is being published by the University of California Press is significant. There are 'wild cards' in the scenario. The time to confront them is now -- a window of opportunity is closing. We may yet see the end of the Bush regime but whoever follows in his place will have to cooperate 'or else'. If Al Gore runs and wins, I anticipate the 'or else' scenario.

Excellent. I guess I can definitely call myself a "conspiracy theorist". (Or as they said in The Wizard of Oz "pay np attention to the man behind the curtain".

Cheney, then Bush, then Ghouliani, then Mueller have all threatened us recently with NUKING
an American city.
