Re-Education camps! Funny how things go in circles and repeat themselves. 1960's and Operation Garden Plot and of course, claims of re-education camps. 1980's, Reagan Adminstration and good ole Ole North's Rex 84 (when FEMA became a conspiracy codeword). Again, re-education camps. I have to admit I was surprised to not hear Re-Education camps during the Bush years but appears now with Obama, it's being made up for lost time.
Besides, since the federal gov't took over public education, I always felt the new and improved "Re-Education" process from the standpoint of cranking out Statist automatons who blindly follow while toiling the day away generating wealth in which the statist machine (empire) can create more automatons now via conquest. Indian wars and manifest destiny on global scale for the benefit of the railroad barons! Ain't it ironic speaking of railroads that the "Chicago" machine now runs the American Hegemonic Machine.
Bachmann's claims of re-education camps are a well warn path previously traveled but one thing is different than say the 1980's when the fear of Ollie North's "FEMA camps" were all the rage. The difference is Rahm Emanuel.
Even Ollie North and friends never got this bold!
But then you can also reference Rahm in his 2006' book entitled, "The Plan." Catchy,creative title is it not. Sounds like a Big Brother euphemism from 1984'. On pages 60-65, Rahm
describes his ideas on universal youth conscription based on his experiences serving in the Israeli model. He sez:
All Americans between the ages of eighteen and twenty-five will be asked to serve their country by going through three months of basic training, civil defense preparation and community service.
Rahm's assertions in the above that "this is not a draft" etc. etc. IMO is over shadowed elsewhere in the pages but the most worrisome of his assurances is found on page 63 where after all the grand ideals of making our society better for home disasters, he then proves IMO this is just another plan to keep the American Hegemonic machine steam rolling through the so-called 3rd world.
Second, universal civilian service may be just what we need to save the volunteer army and avoid the draft.
Rahm, at the end of page 61 you insist to us this is "not military either" and now you suggest this "not military either" program will in fact be military because in order to save the "volunteer army" it has to in some way be military? But Rahm, if it's not military, then why in March of 2006' did the US Army bring out this report on National Service which was preceeded a few weeks earlier by Charlie Rangel to introduce a National Service Act in Congress that died in committee. Most of us remember it as an attempt by Rangel to bring back the draft as he had threatened. All this military circling about and we're suppose to just accept your assurances "it's not military?" I thought your boss said that his adminstration would lead the way with change and one area would be "TRANSPARENCY!" You say you never got that memo! I've no doubt based on your actions.
I can understand where people are concerned about the potential for forced servitude (let's call it what it is) and the historical comparison to the Hitler model of a nationalist youth movement. Obama paints a pretty picture of it with "give us your time and we'll pay for your education" but buried behind all these utopian ideals are a Statist purpose completely contary to the notion of American principles of liberty and freedom. As much as Dick Cheney can be made the villianous warlord, this type of thing might even make him blush. But then it wasn't that the Bush was devoid of
Hitler type actions within gov't so maybe Obama is just following Bush like he is in so many other areas. I guess now I can expect the BC chicken littles to chime in defending the federal gov't efforts to cultivate a "federal snitch" class among us while screaming about the socialism of Obama! I guess if your into sick humor, it's good for the laughs.
Funny how Gore disappeared with his infamous line of "He was playing on our fears" now that his side is doing it!
Rahm also served in the Israeli model for youth which is also mandatory and to be bluntly honest, if I were of any kind of non-jewish Middle Eastern descent, I'd keep a watchful eye for a 21st century version of the Holocaust with themselves being on the menu. The scary part is so many European descent non-jews who are mentally conditioned for it already and only thing left is for a match to be struck to justify a new Krystallnacht with muslims this time being the target. I'm no fan of Allah the Moon God myself, not much for Sol Invictus/Mithra either
but I'm not into persecution of folks because they pray to something I don't!
Bachmann IMO is allowing herself to be a tool/pawn of the republican heirarchy in the hopes of moving up the ranks herself but in the course of playing political games, it just might be enough heat is on the whole issue that Rahm can't push the President to drop that other shoe. If that proves the case, Bachmann still serves a purpose of preserving what little freedom we do have left these days!
For a libertarian you seem to spend a lot of time trying to defend the dems.
Hey Tie,
Funny you should say that because I'm sure there are times (like maybe right now) when D could just as easily and has to some degree said exactly what you said except for one word change.
For a libertarian you seem to spend a lot of time trying to defend the repubs.
Funny how that is!
