FASCISM IN THE HOMELAND

“When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in an American flag” Huey Long, Senator (D-LA)

“The new provision enshrines the principle of arbitrary imprisonment, allowing the president to incarcerate anyone he chooses (indefinitely) without charges.”

The new Intelligence reform bill reads like a “how-to” manual for constructing fascism in the “homeland”. This is no joke. At 600 plus pages none of the senators or congressman even had time to read it, but like the Patriot Act, they’ve rammed it through to satisfy their paymasters. By next week, President Bush will have signed it into law and we’ll be stuck with the aftereffects for years.
