There's a lot of evidence piling up that
Bush and company are pushing hard to use 9/11,
which the evidence shows
they helped perpetrate,
to transform the USA into a brutal dictatorial police state.
They might even attempt to merge the USA with
Canada and Mexico into a superstate -- a kind of
North American Union -- in which
the US Constitution will be null and void.
Following Hitler's example,
Bush is perpetrating much of his power-grabbing
quietly, if not in secret.
He is taking over little by little
and there is no sign that he will
stop, indeed it appears he seeks total control.

House bill HR1955 entitled "Violent Radicalization and

passed in October 2007 with 400 votes to 6.
It casts a harsh and paranoid view of
people seeking to protect the US Constitution,
miscontruing them as violent and radical.
It refers to the Internet as providing "broad and constant streams of
terrorist-related propaganda in the United States."
According to this bill's writers

The Leader's fascist goons will condemn democracy and
argue that the Leader should be made "president for life".

The organization
Family Security Matters,

precisely that fascistic argument.
It was discovered by web surfers and posted to populist news sites

In response, FSM quickly removed the article.
It was then revealed that FSM is a front group for a
thinktank called
Center for Security Policy
whose operatives include the infamous
Dov Zakheim
who presided over the disappearance of $1 trillion at the Pentagon.
Investigation of that loss was halted when
on 9/11 something hit the Pentagon, precisely at the office
that was charged with looking into that disappearance.
The hole in the Pentagon from the object that hit it
is far too small for an airliner but looks suspiciously
like those made by cruise missiles. Black box data
from Flight 77
show that the airliner flew over the Pentagon
(see here).

All over the USA, regular unskilled security guards

their lack of training or professionalism.
This is deemed necessary because
of crime,
even though crime rates have not increased
and are actually down.
Perhaps a secondary reason for it is
terrorism, but that's bogus of course.
By giving lowly security guards the same authority
to arrest and search as cops, but
none of the responsibilities to uphold the Constitution,
we can see the direction that the police state
is taking: it is becoming a private, corporate police state.

Elections will be rigged
and most politicians will not bother to take notice,

The rigging of the 2004 elections was widely covered
on the Web and by local news agencies in Ohio,
and indeed the House Judiciary Committee even produced
a 100 page report on what went wrong in Ohio,
after the election and during the recount.
Yet who, besides Keith Obermann fans heard about
either the rigging or the report
from most politicians or the national media?
Finally we are seeing some court cases about the rigging.
AP story.
During the 2000 election, as investigative journalist
Greg Palast showed, tens of thousands of Floridians
were illegally dropped from the voting roles, which meant
that the popular vote went to Bush. People went to
vote as always, but were told wrongly that they were
dropped on suspicion of being felons. Who was behind
this fraud? George W Bush's brother, Jeb Bush.

machines and computer vote tabulation software
registered with the national media,
and Diebold became familiar to politically
astute members of the public because
of continual problems with their machines.
