10 Easy Steps to Fascisim in America

As nightfall does not come all at once, neither does oppression. In both instances, there is a twilight when everything remains seemingly unchanged. And it is in such a twilight that we all must be aware of change in the air-however slight-lest we become unwilling victims of the darkness.

~Justice William O. Douglas~

  1. Invoking an external and internal threat
  2. Establishing secret prisons
  3. Developing a paramilitary force
  4. Surveiling ordinary citizens
  5. Infiltrating citizens' groups
  6. Arbitrarily detaining and releasing citizens
  7. Targeting key individuals
  8. Restricting the press
  9. Casting criticism as "espionage" and dissent as "treason"
  10. Subverting the rule of law
I find that at least 9 of these are to be true in Amerika today and that it is very possible that all 10 are. The only I am not dead sure about is number 8 because of the very fact that people like me and many others while not the actual press operated on the same medium.

Don't minimize the fact that a blog is truly the "press". I think there are many court cases that protect blog writing in the same way more recognized "press" is protected.

I would go so far as to say that blog writing is much more important to our freedom than any traditional press could ever be.

The anarchy of the Internet is by design, and the ability to publish articles that are read world wide is truly a miracle of our times.
