The internet makes a lot of advanced surveillance techniques possible, so its inevitable that they will be brought to bear sooner rather than later to stifle all dissent. That mean's that blogs like Dredd's and Taylor's days are numbered, or that at the very least they will suffer severe consequences. I'm sure the NSA and god knows who else is already keeping a eye trained on them. And once again, the people, for the most part, will be just fine with it. It's all in the sales pitch, and fear of the "evil other" is by far the best sales pitch ever developed.NowhereManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12745173041874539711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1039161489041752842.post-14717534977684491422010-12-03T07:32:35.447-06:002010-12-03T07:32:35.447-06:00Taylor,

Certainly can't be much clearer than that.<br /><br />I agree with that sentiment; however, I also realize tha most of the GOP supporters feel the same way about dems. It's quite a quandary we find ourselves in heading into 2012 and facing some generational-impact issues. <br /><br />I agree with Dredd. I think these people have simply gone <i>literally</i> insane due to the machinations of the GOP over the past thirty years. They have succesfully used advanced propoganda and disinformation techniques to manipulate the very people whose interests are being compromised to vote Republican. And the dems have absolutely no counter strategy whatsoever, and are in fact acquiescing and shifting right everyday themselves. The political landscape has now shifted so far right that we effectively have three branches of the same party: the right (the dems), the far right (the GOP), and the <i>insanely irrational</i> hard right (the Tea Baggers).<br /><br />My predictions (write it down): the US will implode and go through some sort of major political/governmental reorganization before 2020, the nature of that reorganization will be totalitarian/facist with the remainder of the government not sold off to private interests existing only as the enforcement arm for a fascist capitalist state (we're almost there right now), and the <i>PEOPLE(!)</i> will welcome their own enslavement - indeed they will <i>DEMAND(!)</i> it - with open arms.

I can just see ol' Cheney now going on TV and literally flipping the Spanish authorities off (and the American sheeple eating it all up in the name of USA uber alles). Wikileaks will be invaluable for proving what most of us already suspected, but not much more. Those of us who believe that the US government is up to some seriously nefarious shit in this world (the few) will pay attention; those who think it can do no wrong (the many) won't. Same as it ever was.NowhereManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12745173041874539711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1039161489041752842.post-70430656646149102892010-12-02T09:19:19.061-06:002010-12-02T09:19:19.061-06:00It looks like the Keystone Komplex is gonna have t...It looks like the Keystone Komplex is gonna have to get over to "the Nigeria" and wise some of those boyz up according to <a href="http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2010/12/nigeria-issue-arrest-warrant-dick-cheney-bribery-case/" rel="nofollow">Raw Story</a>.Randyhttp://www.peakoil.netnoreply@blogger.com
