RussianPaul, hello.  Here’s more scary:
I just discovered Jeremy Scahill’s website (via listening to Hugh Hamilton’s “Talk Back”, WBAI http://www.wbai.org ).  Hugh Hamilton was talking about Scahill’s post on something, and when I went to look, via google search for it RebelReports, I found a press release at top of today’s page from the Center for Constitutional Rights on Pres. Obama not to prosecute CIA folks for waterboarding, and more.

NYCartist, you are right, it is very scary. I’m sure companies like Xe and Triple Canopy will be brought into the mix as well. The Obama administration is aware that people will soon grow disillusioned with their policies and might very well grow restless. Dennis Blair of all people actually has made reference to this in a moment of clarity/honesty. He warned the Senate Intelligence Comittee that anti-state demonstrations that have mostly been seen only in Europe can spread to the US, adding, “economic crises increase the risk of regime-threatening instability if they persist over a one to two year period.” He went further and said, “The pressure on the United States would be cumulative and persistent. In the extreme, it could drive U.S.
decisionmakers into increasingly desperate and potentially illegitimate counteraction.”  I’m worried…

First, I smiled.  Then I remember that the US military has soldiers poised to work/stationed to work, in the US,now, for the first time since the Posse Comitatus act went into affect after the Civil War.  Scary.  As was seeing National Guard troops with rifles on the streets of NYC in recent years.  Remember when the then-Mayor of Oakland, Jerry Brown,caused some controversy when he gave the US military permission to practice “inner-city” war maneuvers at the city-owned park?  Add the surveillance discussed on today’s DemocracyNow with a whistleblower, Tam and Glenn Greenwald…www.democracynow.org
