But, back on topic..I think we should NOT
forget what a government can become under a
madman who uses xenophobia and fear and the
claim he is protecting citizens from the
terrorists can do to a country.
We must never forget what having a nut as a
leader, who is on mind altering drugs
(Hitler was on methamphetamines, Bush has
been put on psychoactive meds by his doctor
after he stormed off the stage when asked
about his association with Ken Lay and made
the famous "keep those motherf**kers away
from me" comment.
We must never forget what can happen to
people under a government in which the
leader expresses the desire to be a
dictator..

"On at least three different occasions, Bush
has supposedly “joked” about preferring a
dictatorship. He made a comment about this
once as governor of Texas, on another
occasion before he was crowned White House
resident in January of 2001 following the
stolen election, and he made a third
reference to a dictatorship surrounded by
members of Congress.
Here are his quoted references to a
dictatorship:
1. "You don't get everything you want. A
dictatorship would be a lot easier."
Describing what it's like to be governor of
Texas. (Governing Magazine 7/9
2. "I told all four that there are going to
be some times where we don't agree with each
other, but that's OK. If this were a
dictatorship, it would be a heck of a lot
easier, just so long as I'm the dictator,"
Bush joked.

(12/18/2000 CNN.com)
3. "A dictatorship would be a heck of a lot
easier, there's no question about it, " [Bush]
said. 7/27/2001 Associated Press"
We must never forget what can happen if the
government supports citizens spying and
snitching on each other as national policy.

"A couple of years ago, public outrage
forced Dubya's administration to shelve its
Total Information Awareness program, which
would have created a nationwide network of
informants (including mail carriers, for
example) to 'protect' the country against
terrorism. While TIA is gone, the
administration's attempts to get US citizens
to spy on one another are far from finished.
For example, the American Trucking
Association has received US $19.3 million
from the Dept. of Homeland Security for its
Highway Watch program, which has so far
recruited and trained 10,000 truckers to be
guardians against terrorism. The ATA has
bigger plans for Highway Watch, and hopes to
create a nationwide network of 400,000
truckers, 'tollbooth workers, rest-stop
employees and construction crews' with their
eyes on the lookout for 'suspicious'
behavior.
After the session in Little Rock, two newly
initiated Highway Watch members sat down for
the catered barbecue lunch. The truckers,
who haul hazardous material across 48
states, explained how easy it is to spot
"Islamics" on the road: just look for their
turbans. Quite a few of them are truck
drivers, says William Westfall of Van Buren,
Ark. "I'll be honest. They know they're not
welcome at truck stops. There's still a lot
of animosity toward Islamics." Eddie Dean of
Fort Smith, Ark., also has little doubt
about his ability to identify Muslims: "You
can tell where they're from. You can hear
their accents. They're not real clean
people."
(Note, in the US, it is the Indian Sikhs
that wear turbans, NOT muslims)

"US District Court Judge Charles Breyer for
Northern California ruled this week that the
FBI and the Transportation Security Agency
have been illegally stonewalling Freedom of
Information Act requests by travelers
demanding details on the so-called “no-fly”
list which grounded them.
Villain of the week:
Office of Foreign Assets Control
June 7, 2004 Newsweek has pointed out yet
another egregious provision of the USA
PATRIOT Act, one that both violates privacy
and raises costs - and does so inefficiently
to boot. It comes into play whenever someone
buys some real estate.
Privacy Hero:
CAPPS II plaintiffs
June 1, 2004 Four hearty Alaskans have
challenged the federal government in federal
court (good luck on that...) over the coming
CAPPS II system. CAPPS II is a program
wherein the federal government trolls
through corporate databases on every
American who buys an airline ticket, in
order to decide whether the traveler should
be arrested, subjected to extra robust
friskings, or just subject to the same
run-of-the-mill indignities as everyone
else.
Villain of the week:
Homeland MATRIX
May 24, 2004 New information has emerged
this past week about the MATRIX database
system, supposedly a state-level program
that digs through commercial and government
databases that allegedly can “spot
terrorists.” It turns out that the program
received support from the federal government
– and that Florida authorities followed up
and investigated a list of 120,000 people
deemed to have a “high terrorist factor.”
Villain of the week:
DC's money cameras
May 14, 2004 A recent report on the traffic
spycams installed throughout Washington, DC
gives the lie to the oft-repeated claims
that forced loss of privacy is balanced by
greater security."
The historical similarities between the
Burning of the Reichstag and 9/11 are

The point in all this is that when
MoveOn.org saw what the film submission was
like, and was using the Nazi imagery, they
REMOVED IT.
Bush is rolling in it , luxuriating in it,
publishing it, and rejoicing in it, and has
refused to remove it despite protestations
of its offensiveness from Jewish groups.
