brace yourselves for another terror attack kids.
bush's approval rating has hit a new low. with all the dirt coming out now from both the left and the right, be it response to the patriot act, the lining of halliburton's pockets, the cover up of saudi connections to 9/11, the increased layoffs and far-from-rebounding economy, the failure in containing the situation in iraq and lack of WMD, or any of the myriad of other reasons you can think up, bush
is doomed to fail in the upcoming election.
however, it's unlikely that the f*cker would come this far and give up the american dictatorship without a fight, so, i'd like to spell out some disaster scenarios for you.
scenario #1: with the advent of electronic voting machines, the
potential to rig an election has
grown incredibly. nebraska senator chuck hagel has already proven that to win an election, all you need to do is
own the machines, and since the
companies aren't required to disclose their conflicts of interest, it's really hard to catch someone in the act. beyond that, even if you can't rig the machines, you can still
rig the voter rolls. not that
the popular vote means shit anyway. as florida secretary of state, katherine harris
blocked a recount and
handed over the state's electoral votes to bush while the official count was still in dispute. harris was also, incidentally, the chariman of bush's campaign.
taking this all into consideration, it's quite feasible that g.o.p. could just rig the election. they're obviously capable. that's all there is to it. and we couldn't do a friggin' thing about it.
scenario #2: as i've contended previously, and shall continue to contend, bush either oversaw or simply permitted the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the united states in order to further his agenda. in doing so, a president with no mandate was suddenly a respected world leader with a license for endless war, and with his citizenry throwing their rights at him like bitches throwing their panties at elvis. in the face of an ever declining popularity rating, bush's only available option (aside from rigging the election; which, if the scales tip far enough, won't be possible), is to stage another such attack against the u.s. and to declare marshall law with emergency powers. under the war powers act, with the aid of the national security council and the federal emergency management agency, bush can postpone elections indefinitely and virtually proclaim himself emperor of the united states, taking total control of the nation's manufacturing, utilities & transportation systems. americans, gullible as ever (as demonstrated by the previous post) will allow this to transpire because "we could not possibly change nor dare even question our leadership during a time of war upon our nation."
subsequently,
the victory act will pass as near-unanimously as
the patriot act did, and soon enough, bush will take advantage of the bill, in conjunction with his executive powers, to
relocate his political opponents into internament camps where they will be held indefinitely without being charged with any crimes. whereas "americans could have their citizenship revoked, if found to have contributed 'material support' to organizations deemed by the government, even retroactively, to be 'terrorist,'" those of us who have contributed to leftist radical organizations that have been deemed terror groups by the fbi, such as the worker's world party (aka international a.n.s.w.e.r., the largest organizers of domestic opposition to the iraq war) and reclaim the streets (a non-violent
tactic of civil disobediencenote, not even really a group), will quickly find ourselves behind barbed-wire, potentially labeled enemy combatants, denied the right to legal counsel or any of the other inalienable rights available to american citizens which, under the law, we shall be no longer. if this doesn't seem feasible, perhaps the
no fly list might convince you otherwise.
Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger.

thus, neutralizing his opposition, bush will be able to rewrite the entire nation's system of government, unchecked by any of the checks and balances ensured by our constitution, and will then proceed to run the nation into the ground, advancing an imperialistic, war-driven agenda, bankrupting our government by enriching corporations with public tax dollars and in turn slashing the taxes of the wealthy he imbues (thus creating no reciprocal flow into the nation's coffers), and in the end, the american republic will fall, and all the rich bastards who were in on the take will be sitting pretty, as the american populace has no choice but to enslave itself to the new corporate pyramid state. they will be filthy rich, everyone else will be f*ckin' broke, and they'll have no choice but to go with their tails between their legs to any rich bastard who's got a factory job for 'em at sweatshop wages.
thus is the future that awaits us. you say it can't happen here; but sh*t, that's what they say every time.
9/11 was the burning of the reichstag. this time the jews are suspected "terrorists." bush may not necessarily push 'em into ovens... but he'll still have his way, as we rot away in prison camps, and americans become slaves. in the end, isn't it just a little fitting that karl rove is the grandson of birchenau's engineer, and that bush is the grandson of the nazi party's primary american financiers?
