This is just the continuation "policies" of war criminals (like Rumsfeld and Cheney) "full spectrum dominance"-and I, for one, have no doubt that the DCS is also operating domestically against US citizen political activists-that are labeled "terrorists" just like in the late 60's early 70's.

It's easy to get away with the murder of innocents, as well as anything else, when you have perverted the shield of national security and banished the rule of law. Then neutralize any citizen that dissents-yep, that's been increasing, hasn't it?

What are your thoughts on this topic DU?

My take on this is that it is inevitable that the most insidious forms of clandestine manipulation of public opinion and behavior are unfolding on our shores. Repression and censorship will increase. The clandestine techniques of espionage, sabotage, and propaganda dissemination have been practiced in Africa, Central and South America, and South Asia for decades. Their practitioners are expanding them to home turf.

It's inevitable that once-democratic societies who embrace imperialistic tactics overseas, then sickness enters their culture and poisons their intelligentsia and elites.

Now that disease is spreading in the form of JSOC, Homeland Security, and the DCS.
