America is Now a Full-Fledged Fascist Police State
Posted November 6, 2004
By: the editor

While sitting in a café drinking a cup of coffee and looking out the window I noticed that the people in the area near the café were a mix of collage students, the working class, and a few who appeared to be well off. As I watched them going about the business of eating drinking and spending money in the row of shops near the café it occurred to me that they all seemed totally normal, to an almost artificial and lobotomized degree. Their faces were pleasant but empty and expressionless, lacking it seemed in depth or understanding of what had just transpired in their country. Why weren’t people rioting in the streets I wondered, why weren’t people angry? The neocons had rigged the election and stolen our country to easily, without so much as a whimper of protest from 'we the people'.

Registered democrats outnumbered republicans by at least 17 million nation wide, and in Florida democrats outnumbered republicans by 400,000. It was numerically impossible for Bush to win and yet with the new touch screen voting systems Bush took Florida and the nation, and the republicans took the House and the Senate.

We must now consider a horrific future of "Never ending war", a great nation which once stood for 'freedom' and 'justice', transformed into a nation based on violence and death. America's young people and hundreds of thousands, or perhaps millions of innocent men women and children around the world slaughtered by the neocon gang in their blood soaked quest for power and profit.

In the Wall Street Journal dated November 5th 2004 it said on the front page: "The Dow Industrials surged 177.71 points or 1.75%, to 10314.76, boosted by hopes for tax cuts and a shift of some Social Security money into the stock market in Bush's second term..."

3. somebody needs to slap John Kerry upside the head . . .
and find out if all his pronouncements about being a friend to the middle class and those aspiring to it was anything more than rhetoric . . . because the state of affairs described in this essay is not at all far-fetched, and either he's with us or he's against us . . . and if he's with us, it's time to withdraw his concession and fight BushCo tooth and nail . . . because if this election stands, we are s-o-o-o-o-o fucked . . .
