Rob Kall: " IT " Is Happening Here!!

 

Heavily armed mercenaries, authorized to kill, roving US streets.

I woke up at 4:30 AM to a nightmare that is real. Paid mercenary

killers—Blackwater paramilitary mercenaries—the ones that are hired to

stalk the worst danger zones of Iraq—are roving the streets of New

Orleans, armed to the teeth, with permission to kill.

 

They have been purportedly hired by the federal and Louisiana governments.

 

About three years ago, I read Sinclair Lewis's book, It Can't Happen

Here,

which describes how a hayseed good ol' boy southerner managed by

treacherous handlers becomes president. They tear apart one after

another American institution—schools, health care, while at the same

time appointing politically loyal incompetents with no experience to

manage all aspects of US government and other bureaucracies. The media

are totally controlled, with uncooperative editors and reporters

jailed or killed (Aug. 30th: UN inquiry called for after 18th

journalist killed by US troops)

Lewis describes how towns and cities become militarized, how people

are sent to jail without trials, or with fixed trials by crooked,

corrupt judges appointed by the corrupt president and his cronies.

(Jose Padilla and the Death of Personal Liberty)

Gun toting militias terrorize the nation at a local level, with the

redneck morons handed leadership roles in every community, with the

right to summarily execute people who say the wrong thing. Resistors

are threatened with imprisonment or death if they don't go public

supporting the party line.

 

Lewis wrote his book in 1937, having see Hitler's rise to Power. We've

seen many articles describing how similarly the Bush administration

has operated, starting with When Democracy Failed by Thom Hartmann.

In 2002, Hartmann's article seemed to reek of conspiracy theory and

paranoia to some. Now, it is a frightening portent, characterizing too

many parallels suggesting that we are much further along the dangerous

road that Sinclair Lewis created as a fiction.

 

The thought of armed, privately paid mercenaries roaming the streets

of a major American city, a city filled with Democrats, with poor,

helpless African Americans and the most independent, insistent upon

being self-sufficient Americans is horrifying. These guns for hired

are reportedly authorized to not only make arrests but also to use

" lethal force. "

We know that when hundreds of victims of the levee floods—New Orleans

residents and tourists—tried to cross a bridge to safety, police

officers from Gretna, in the Jefferson Parish, fired over their heads

and forced them back into the flood ravaged, toxic water deluged city.

 

An American city is under military rule, with citizens being dragged

and handcuffed out of their homes, helpless, frail old women thrown

around, manhandled, captured and thrown into transport trucks. FEMA

has created " detainment camps " which people are not allowed to leave,

where they get two meals a day, are not allowed to cook, can't leave

to go to church….

This can not be. This must not be allowed. We must do all we can to

end this. President Bush has asked the nation to hold a vigil next

Friday. And we must hold one, but not quietly in our churches, temples

and mosques. We must go to the streets, raise our voices and tell

these betrayers of democracy that it's over, that they can't do this.

Tell your congregations you don't want to sit in a building a

passively allow this to happen. Wake up your church, your synagogue,

temple or mosque and lead them to a local demonstration—a vigil that

truly, spiritually supports the victims of both Hurricane Katrina and

the Levee Flood Bush's incompetent appointees and stupid funding

withdrawals caused.

 

 

America is at risk. You can no longer just read about it. You must do

something today, not just donating money or goods to the victims in

Mississippi and Louisiana. YOU are a victim of this disaster and you

have to ask yourself what you're going to do today, what you did last

week, what you will do next week to save the USA. Do you live in

another country? You can still support publications that tell the

truth. You can still contribute to private think tanks.

 

Send your legislators this message. Write to your newspapers. Tell

them to end the martial law, the mercenaries and detainment camps.
