The Fallujahization of America
Two entries earlier today on Drudge foretell the future of America:
D.C. police set up 'military-style checkpoint' to stop criminals from entering neighborhood...
and right below that:
Marine acquitted of all charges in Haditha killings...
The first, which has been out on the line a couple days already, is bad enough. The second is the cherry on top.
The first - which describes the plan to bring the War in Iraq home by establishing Fallujah-style entry controls on neighborhoods in Washington, DC - tells us what it's all about. The crushing of Iraq was prelude to the crushing of liberty in America. It really is that simple.
The second emphasizes a second horrific truth, which also should already have become obvious over the last few years: no one in government is accountable for anything.
Now, for all I know the officer acquitted in the Haditha murders really was a blameless scapegoat; it still points the way to the future. The only way anyone in government is brought to account these days is when a scapegoat is needed, or for purely political reasons - in which case that person's guilt or innocence is as irrelevant to the government's actions as yours is if an ambitious prosecutor (the most dangerous species of predator in America) decides to go for your blood.
So this is what's coming to your neighborhood. Enjoy!
