More good info from Naomi. A good interview, but it is amazing how little time is devoted to these important topics, even on a show like DN.

And of course, this book is mostly ignored in other media.

1. Not just the media, PP. Even here on DU there are still many who claim this is just
conspiracy theory and that it's crazy to think any of this is connected.

2. What's weird about that, to me, is that it isn't necessary for the US
to do any of the stuff she's talking about. There's no need for us to torture, we haven't done it from the time of G. Washington until now. There's no need to hire mercenary armies, we have a fully functional armed service.

Yet, if there is no need to do any of this stuff, then where is the impetus for it? Certainly, the public isn't calling for it. No crowd of citizens marched on the capital and demanded that we suspend habeas corpus.

There's no need, there's no demand, yet we keep inching closer and closer to the nightmare. Why? You'd have to be pretty self-blinded to think these things are "just happening", with no guiding scheme in the background.

If this isn't fascist creep, then let's reverse it allready.

4. That's why I key on the ONE issue that will reverse the fascism - OPEN GOVERNMENT
Edited on Fri Nov-30-07 11:16 AM by blm
that is accountable to the people.

Open the books - every other issue becomes effected by the secrecy of closed government and privilege.

Open the books - the people can feel like CITIZENS sharing in their nation's destiny instead of as subjects to be used, ignored, manipulated and misled.

5. Excellent point
This secrecy is the most telling signal we've been given.

3. This is "must see" online TV
I watched both parts of the interview. Awesome! :patriot:

I will have to check out Naomi Wolf's book "The End of America".

Towards the end, Naomi mentions the need to IMPEACH. B-)

She also recommends this website: www.americanfreedomcampaign.org

8. Thanks - I was just going to go check and see how it was doing. I'm so happy to
hear that even though, as has been mentioned, she's not getting much MSM coverage. Wonder why? :sarcasm:
