Freedom to Fascism Redux: An American Timeline

Let me give you a timeline for the last few years of American history:

FREEDOM > PNAC > 9/11 > AUMF > PATRIOT ACT > CITIZENS UNITED > NDAA > SOPA PIPA > EEA > FASCISM

Here is what all that means...

FREEDOM: What the United States Constitution and Bill of Rights once guaranteed to all American Citizens.

PNAC: Our wars for oil and profit were planned LONG before 9/11, but an excuse was needed to justify them.

[ Note: This letter was dated JANUARY 26 1998 and the last paragraph reads "We urge you to act decisively. If you act now to end the threat of WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION against the U.S. or its allies, you will be acting in the most fundamental national security interests of the country. If we accept a course of weakness and drift, we put our interests and our future at risk." ]

9/11: The excuse that was needed to sacrifice lives and liberties while corporations raided our treasury.

AUMF: Authorization for Use of Military Force (Public Law 107-40), a "war against terror" carte blanche.

PATRIOT ACT: 68,000 words worth of Orwellian "1984" legislation supposedly drafted and passed in six weeks.

CITIZENS UNITED: The U.S. Supreme Court decision that gave corporations a legal way to buy U.S. elections.
