DoD – “Protesting is Act of Terrorism”

One of the important steps in closing an open society is making any descent of state policy a crime.

The ten steps duplicated by hitler, lenin/stalin, mussolini, mao, franco & pinnochet ,which alllowed over 100 million people to be slaugheterd by thier goverments, are:
1. Invoke a terrifying internal and external enemy
2. Create a gulag IE. Camp X-Ray
3. Develop a thug caste
4. Set up an internal surveillance system
5. Harass citizens' groups
6. Engage in arbitrary detention and release
7. Target key individuals
8. Control the press
9. Dissent equals treason
10. Suspend the rule of law

These ten steps are eloquently outlined in a column in the UK’s Guardian by Naomi Wolfe. Since she was raised in a “left” household she did neglect step 11 form her list.
Step 11. Confiscate the citizen's fire arms

Still, her column and narative of first ten are a must read.

Back to this PDF of a filing from the ACLU documenting that in DoD training all protests are considered a low level form of “terrorism”.

This really isn’t a surprise is it? This is just the state’s next logical step to managing any dissent towards wars of aggression and the eroding of civil liberties. What more can I say about this other than I do not recognize the country I live in anymore.

I will continue pray that my fellow citizens start to wake up from their slumber soon…
