FROM THE SPARKS (NV) TRIBUNE, 11/11/01.

Is the Trade Towers Attack THE
EXCUSE (to push this AGENDA) OR
(Is this AGENDA) THE REASON (it was allowed to happen)?

Was THE ATTACK just an excuse to gradually move into a Police State?

{SD-2} Tyranny Marches a Half Hour Nearer with "Bush Doctrine"(Office of
Homeland Defense)


  September 11, 2001.


  It was clear from the beginning that the U.S. military would
  have to strike fiercely against such savage enemies. As
  Americans, we support that -- with hopes the strikes will be
  just and judicious, as well as decisive.


  It was less clear how fiercely the government would strike
  against American freedom. We were encouraged by George W. Bush's
  repeated assurances that he would protect, not sacrifice, freedom.
  Other voices -- calling for renewed imposition of intrusive,
  ineffective surveillance and other restrictions on freedom --
  were more ominous.


  On the evening of September 20, President Bush allied himself
  with the worst enemies of freedom. He made a seemingly
  innocuous -- even a comforting-sounding -- announcement. He said
  he had created the cabinet-level Office of Homeland Security,
  with Pennsylvania governor Tom Ridge as its head. (Transcript:

  Most people were utterly unaware of the significance of Bush's
  new bureacracy. But for anyone watching the advance of police-
  state policies in America, absolutely nothing could have been
  more ominous.


  The Homeland Defense Agency is not a new idea. Conceived by a
  bi-partisan commission headed by former senators Gary Hart and
  Warren Rudman, this Clinton-era conception, "The Phase III
  Report Of The U.S. Commission On National Security/21st
  Century," is nothing less than the framework for a permanent
  military-bureaucratic American police state.


  The new Homeland Defense Agency is the lynchpin of a plan that
  extensively reorganizes both the executive and legislative
  functions of the U.S. government. Among other things, the plan
  makes the National Guard a national police force. It extensively
  federalizes both the study and the work of science, mathematics,
  and engineering. It creates numerous new sub-bureaucracies. The
  Homeland Security agency itself is to "be built upon the Federal
  Emergency Management Agency, with the three organizations
  currently on the front line of border security-the Coast Guard,
  the Customs Service, and the Border Patrol- transferred to it."
  The plan calls for the new agency to oversee activities of the
  Department of Defense, as well as to assume a variety of duties
  now held by agencies from the Department of Commerce to the FBI.


  When the plan was announced in January of this year, the media
  barely covered it, and shortly thereafter, the plan itself, and
  the government Web site created expressly for it, dropped out
  of sight. We found the full text of the report at only one
  location:


      http://www.rense.com/general10/roadmap.htm


  Read it and shudder as you consider how the Bill of Rights --
  and your freedoms -- will be slaughtered if you remain silent
  now.


  Do not be fooled. The purpose of this agency and the larger plan
  of which it is merely one part, is not to make us safer. It is
  to rule us -- and to put in place the iron, eternal structure of
  the police state. Once again, crisis has been used as a false
  justification of the will to power.


  When we created the CCOPS Totalitarian Time Clock, we promised
  ourselves we'd avoid huge, precipitous moves of the clock's
  hands. Without extreme provocation, we'd advance and  roll back
  the clock's digits only a few minutes at a time. The war strikes
  of September 11 were world shattering, and we would never seek
  to minimize the horror or deny the need for strong retaliation.
  But our government's covert strike against American liberties
  will have an even more devastating long term impact on millions
  of lives.


  The clock -- and the tragic march of tyranny -- advances by a
  half hour.


  If you really value freedom, please share this alert with
  everyone you know, and encourage them to go to the site and
  read the Hart-Rudman roadmap to your future life in a police
  state.
