Are We Becoming a Police State? Five Things That Have Civil Liberties Advocates Nervous

In short - YES!

PBS - those crazy conspiracy nuts!

Read this article and then read Naomi Wolf's "Fascist America, in Ten Easy Steps." Note: the 10 steps are below with information from the PBS article in parentheses.

#1 - Invoke a terrifying internal and external enemy
#2 - Create a gulag (indefinite military detention)
#3 - Develop a thug caste (the police, military and other entities)
#4 - Set up an internal surveillance system (GPS and drones)
#5 - Harass citizens' groups
#6 - Engage in arbitrary detention and release
#7 - Target key individuals (assassinations of American citizens)
#8 - Control the press (arresting witnesses for recording police actions)
#9 - Dissent equals treason
#10 - Suspend the rule of law (indefinite military detention)

We could easily fill in the blanks with other points taken from our society.

The terrifying internal and external enemy is of course al-Qaeda, Osama bin Laden, Saddam Hussein, Mahmoud Ahmedinejad, Qaddafi, Emmanuel Goldstein, etc...

Citizens' groups are constantly being harassed. Michael Moore's documentary Fahrenheit 9/11 comes to mind with the California based peace group (I forget their name) who was infiltrated by the FBI.

Arbitrary detention and release is common place in the Occupy Wall Street movement.

And, of course, my favorite (#9)...

"USA! USA!"
"Support Our Troops!"
"If you're not with us, you're against us."
blah blah blah

A police state is a mandatory component of fascism.  We do not use the f word (FASCISM) enough to describe what we are experiencing in America today.

‎"I know we lied about JFK, sent your sons and daughters to die in useless wars, tried to cover up Watergate and the Iran-Contra Scandal, shipped guns to Mexican drug lords, promised the "bailout" (in other words, corporate handout) would help the economy...but trust us! We got Emmanuel Goldstein!" - government employee

Osama bin Laden Raid Wasn't Based on CIA Torture Interrogations, Senators Say

Well #1, Navy SEALS did not kill OBL last spring.  Secondly, torture techniques are not reliable because under such duress, a prisoner would theoretically say whatever it takes to free him/her from the psychological or physical pain.

FLASHBACK: Osama Bin Laden Pronounced Dead...For the Ninth Time

Link to article

"Now in 2011, President Obama has added himself to the mix of people in positions of authority who have pronounced Osama Bin Laden dead. Some might charge that none of the previous reports had any credibility, but as it is now emerging that Osama’s body was buried at sea less than 12 hours after his death with no opportunity for any independent corroboration of his identity, the same question of credibility has to be leveled at this latest charge. To this point, the only evidence we have been provided that Osama Bin Laden was killed yesterday are some images on tv of a burning compound and the word of the man currently occupying the oval office."

Pentagon Says It Has No Record of bin Laden's Death

Link to article

"The Pentagon told the AP this month it could not locate any photographs or video taken during the raid or showing bin Laden's body. It also said it could not find any images of bin Laden's body on the Navy aircraft carrier where the al-Qaida leader's body was taken.

The Pentagon said it could not find any death certificate, autopsy report or results of DNA identification tests for bin Laden, or any pre-raid materials discussing how the government planned to dispose of bin Laden's body if he were killed."

Trust us!  We got him!
