Former Reagan Official Warns Bush Might Attack US

Here is another post by Jen C, that has been on my mind at least since 9/11. As I said on a comment over at Seev's today, I honestly don't think that our government had anything to do with the terrorist attacks 6 years ago.

I do believe that the executive branch has certainly taken every opportunity to expand their power within the government because of the war on 9/11. I do find it highly ironic that the old Taliban and Osama Bin Laden was funded and supplied arms by the Reagen Administration as another way to defeat the communist Soviets in the 1980's. Too many people and groups have allowed this transition unchecked

I am even more concerned about dots that are being connected here:

On July 20, 2007, Paul Craig Roberts, the former Assistant Secretary of the Treasury in the Reagan administration, issued a public warning that "we are about to experience another 9/11-WMD experience" orchestrated by the current occupants of the White House. The purpose, he says, of attacking his own country is that "an attack will activate Bush’s new executive orders, which create a dictatorial police state in event of “national emergency.” He's referring to NSPD-51, in which Bush gave himself the powers to do just that.

The Russian media, which published this story today, add that the "staged attack" would also be used to launch a war with Iran.

I'm not trying to be a conspiracy theorist, but a very scary picture emerges when you put the facts in a timeline:

• September 11, 2001 - The United States is attacked. Bush uses the attack on
  9/11 to enact the Patriot Act, start a war with Afghanistan, and start a war
  with Iraq (there's obviously much more, but let's keep it brief).
• October 1, 2002 -The Bush administration and Department of Homeland security creates NORTHCOM, which "organizes and executes homeland defense and civil support missions...as ordered by the president and secretary of defense."
• May 9, 2007 - Bush issues NSPD-51, which gives him complete control of the government in the case of a broadly defined "emergency".
• July 17, 2007 - Bush issues an Executive Order that gives him the power to seize the assets of anyone that interferes with his mission in Iraq.
• August 30, 2007 - Nuclear weapons are mysteriously taken out of storage, loaded on the wings of a B-52 bomber, and flown from North Dakota to Louisiana.
• September 7 and September 11, 2007 - Osama bin Laden reappears twice in 4 days, after not being seen or heard from since June of 2006.
• September 14, 2007 - Air Force to be grounded
• September 15, 2007 - Massive anti-war/impeachment march to be held in Washington D.C.
• October 1, 2007 - Scheduled start date of the National Applications Office, which will allow almost all law enforcement officials to use spy satellites on Americans that can penetrate through buildings and underground bunkers. Civil liberties advocates call it "Big Brother in the Sky"
• October 15-20, 2007 - "Vigilant Shield 08" to be conducted by NORTHCOM in Oregon and Arizona. Vigilant Shield 08 is described as an "exercise for homeland defense and defense support of civil authorities missions", which some believe is code for a test run of martial law.

And these are just the things that we know about.

Connect all these dots, along with the undeniably logical analysis of a former Reagan administration official (not some blogger crackpot) which concludes that Bush has a lot to gain from attacking the United States, and the picture that emerges indicates that we as a country have a decision to make: Do we impeach and get these guys out of power or wait and come what may?

We, the People, have been too quick to allow the government to take away our rights in the name of security. It was a case then, tat if you were not with the POTUS then, you were obviously a traitor who was harboring Jihadist ideals. The media has not asked deep probing questions about the decisions that were made and the legislation that was passed over the last 6 years. They have been too busy spoon feeding us Britney, Paris, Lindsay and Owen. Even OJ is back in the news today. We need to start asking more questions, and demanding more answers. Persisting until we get answers that satisfy the people.

There is no doubt power corrupts. This has been shown time and again over the course of civilization. Whether it be ancient Rome or Nixonian tricks. Some might even say the Clinton administration had been corrupt.

I honestly don't know if this administration is capable of actually pulling the trigger on this plan. I certainly hope not. Because if they do, then this is a country I no longer recognize and that scares me.

The only question is if this scenario is probable is there someone inside in the know who might say, this is wrong. It is too often we are surrounded by yes men (or woman) who are unwilling or unable to provide or listen to contradictory information that is fundamentally wrong. A collection of individuals can very easily fall into groupthink, and when you add in the trip of being the most powerful man in the world it is not hard to see this playing out.

I am constantly reminded of the movie V is for Vendetta. Very scary. Here are a view quotes. Let me know what you think, I have substituted Grand Chancellor Adam Sutlers name with the POTUS name. Does it seem as plausible to you as it does to me?

V : There are of course those who do not want us to speak. I suspect even now, orders are being shouted into telephones, and men with guns will soon be on their way. Why? Because while the truncheon may be used in lieu of conversation, words will always retain their power. Words offer the means to meaning, and for those who will listen, the enunciation of truth. And the truth is, there is something terribly wrong with this country, isn't there? Cruelty and injustice, intolerance and 0ppression. And where once you had the freedom to object, to think and speak as you saw fit, you now have censors and systems of surveillance coercing your conformity and soliciting your submission. How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror. I know why you did it. I know you were afraid. Who wouldn't be? War, terror, disease. There were a myriad of problems which conspired to corrupt your reason and rob you of your common sense. Fear got the best of you, and in your panic you turned to the now high chancellor, Adam Sutler George Bush. He promised you order, he promised you peace, and all he demanded in return was your silent, obedient consent.

SutlerBush: What we need right now is a clear message to the people of this country. This message must be read in every newspaper, heard on every radio, seen on every television... I want *everyone* to *remember*, why they *need* us!
