Yesterday I heard Amy Goodman, on Democracy Now, politely read this story:

There was no questioning as to the legality of this action. That would be 'Pre 9/11 thinking' and a point made moot by the Patriot Act, among others, that our Congress has passed.

This is the kind of thing that makes me think that Alex Jones, despite being a condescending egomaniac, may be right.

What does everyone else think about our federal military dealing with demonstrators? Hasn't history taught us anything? It's not for our protection, but our subjugation does power use a heavy hand on its people.

Hi Daniel,

Quite simply, the fascio-corporatist financiers and bankers of the wall street cabol have adopted the incrementalist tactics of the U.K.'s Fabian Society.

The goal is not socialism - they detest socialism as much as they detest competition - both cost them profits.

Their goal is an exploitative, gulag subsistence level existence for the masses so that they may maximize profits for themselves.
