The ten steps to a Facist Regime
1 Invoke a terrifying internal and external enemy. (9/11, Iraq, fear-mongering of Muslims, minorities & progressives )
2 Create secret prisons where torture takes place. (Renditions, Gitmo)
3 Develop a thug caste or paramilitary force not answerable to citizens. (Blackwater)
4 Set up an internal surveillance system. (Wiretaps, Spying, Infiltrators, Cointelpro)
5 Harass citizens’ groups. (Astroturf/False Counter-Movements, Doctored Press Coverage, False Stories, Propaganda)
6 Engage in arbitrary detention and release. (Random Arrests, No Charges, No Reading of Rights)
7 Target key individuals. (Civil & Human Rights Leaders Targeted)
8 Control the press. (Suppression of the Facts, Over-Blown Hype & Irrational Thought Processes) (Death of Journalism)
9 Treat all political dissidents as traitors. (Hypocrisy, Smears & Unequal Coverage)
10 Suspend the rule of law. (No prosecution of the wealthy & powerful – Excessive prosecution of the poor & minorities for minor offenses)
Does all of this sound too shockingly familar?
How much worse do things have to get?
You need to fight back – and Tweeting from home isn’t going to be enough. Petitions do nothing but create a false sense of temporary hope.
