Naomi Klein on America's non Future

Naomi has been researching fascism and tyranny. Her new book discusses an uncomfortable trend towards fascism in America. Many of us including level headed conservatives are aware of this trend and are particularly aware of the Bush administration's hand in it. The link below is to an interview she gave to AlterNet.

This is very scary stuff.

The End of America?
"... according to the blueprint, that the state starts to torture people that most of us don't identity with, because they're brown, Muslim, people on an island. They're called an enemy.

That there will be a progressive blurring of the line, and six months, two years later, you're going to see it spread to others. ... According to the blueprint, we're right on schedule that this kid recently got tasered in Florida, I gather, for asking questions."

Recall how Fox Newscasters are openly calling for demonstrators to be tasered. They have crossed the line and are now 'wanting' to use this weapon that inflicts incredible pain and disorientation. That level of pain infliction is something that they see as being desirable. As bad as Fox is, they were not doing this a few years ago, excepting the ever horrid Coulter. Very very creepy.

She also gets into the manipulation of fear in order to pass draconian laws.
Yes, but you can't undercredit the incredible sophistication of the way the Bush administration manipulates fear. For example, the sleeper cells narrative, which is Stalin's narrative, was totally made up.

Yes where are the sleeper cells, and why was that scenario trotted out instantly after 9-11?
