[Nettime-bold] the threat out there against the bridges are contrived ju

Why? 1st because they can and we are at their mercy. Worse yet is that we "trust" these people leading us down this path to the snare. Fear mongering works really well against a docile public such as ours. WE do what we are told and don't ask why.... It helps keeps us in line and obeying any orders given to us because we are fear now. We are being conditioned and controlled into not expecting reasonable answers about such situations."Its for our own good" Finally all of those years of paternalism is paying off for them. We are children again. Nor are we being told details about the threat either in any detail. Strange don't they want our help? This is the way to gradually install and introduce the public to the NEW face of totalitarianism~American style. Yea the vise grips are on our Balls collectively now. I guess we just didn't want to be free badly enough to do what ever it took to keep FREEDOM alive. We left it all up to our leaders. Soon they will disarm us in the name of our safety too. Believe me. Shortly we will be tagged electronically like cattle or errant pets so we can be accounted for like inventory or a surf. This is the new holocaust folks. Welcome.

PS no real protests like what the Chinese students did I'll wager. Probably interfere with some sports schedule.... bad ratings too probably on the major networks. 97% of us are still asleep or in a mental coma. When "they" are finished no one still asleep will recognize the new AmeriKa when awakened. Caesar rules by edict and decree and we were citizens when we remember when.

rebellion, and all-around hell-raising
remain the true duty of patriots." -
