Are You an "Unlawful Enemy Combatant"?

Once again, those people we call 'the government' are at it again. It seems that we are destined to create (or allow to be created) the most sinister, evil, repressive, technologically-advanced totalitarian state ever known on this planet. They have passed an act called the Military Commissions Act of 2006, but it appears to be a thinly veiled push for more totalitarian/police state powers to be wielded by alleged government against anyone who dares to question anything that these public officials do.

As we know, these alleged public officials feel that they are above the law, above reproach, and above the scrutiny of anyone, especially anyone who doesn't believe the official story on any topic. These topics would include (but are not limited to): the WTC-911 attacks, the War on Terror/Iraq/Afghanistan, graft and corruption at the highest levels in government and business, the PATRIOT Act, Homeland Security, legalized torture, the decimation of the Constitution, etc. Don't worry about your 'rights', since the only rights you are deemed to have are the ones that GW Bush and the Government decides that you have! Don't worry, as if you're innocent, you won't have anything to worry about. Just shut up and believe whatever they tell you, since they are the people with the power, and are obviously qualified to know who's naughty and who's nice. Constitutions, oaths of office, freedom of speech, and other antiquated concepts be damned into oblivion. Don't worry, as GW has your back...

Of course, me, along with a lot of other people who feel a need for critical thinking and truth, will probably be the target of the latest legislation. Now, bloggers like me are being equated with terrorists. I guess that they may have a point because freethinkers with ideas that aren't 'mainstream' often lead people to understand what is really happening in the world, and in the country. They've always said that the pen is mightier than the sword. Boy, I didn't know that my words could be that powerful, as to convert my typing into weapons more powerful than hijacked jets, thermonuclear warheads, depleted uranium, cluster bombs, death rays, and whatever other barbarous 'weapons of mass destruction' that you might be able to imagine! I really feel powerful now!

Of course, the idea that me and people like me are terrorists is not even worthy of intellectual consideration. I love freedom and independence. It just seems that we're running mighty low on both of these in this alleged 'modern era'. It appears to me that the fascism and totalitarianism remain the same, but the tactics and implementation just get updated and perpetrated with new methods. Bush, Caesar, Napoleon, Stalin, Lenin, Pol Pot, Saddam Hussein, Robespierre, Machiavelli, "insert your favorite dictator/mass murder here" all seem to have the same goal--unbridled control and power. "Vilify the people who disagree with you" seems to be the strategy here. It also seems to be true that when they do this, the majority of people will just 'go along to get along'. But one day, the totalitarian state will come to your front door. What will you do then? You will either fight now to stop this madness, or you will be enslaved along with the rest of the people. Don't worry about me because it's looking like people like me won't be around to continue to spit out information and observations that aren't in step with government-approved propaganda and lies. They even have academia (who should know better) to back them up and join in with the witch hunt. So don't wonder how the German people allowed tyranny, totalitarianism, fascism, etc., to thrive as they watched it happen before their eyes because all you have to do is watch what happens here in Amerikkka, comrade. I guess that everyone will get their just desserts...
