    JUST THE FIRST SNIFFLES

    Hooded, Automatic Weapon Toting Gestapo, kicking in the doors of American Citizens, is just the first little tickle in the throat, the first sense that a bad cold, flu, or pnemonia is on it's way. With 9/11, a vast mechanism of repression and authoritarian control was unleashed on America, and on the World.

    The toxic dust hadn't even settled before the magical appearance of the foot-thick "Patriot Act", which spelled out in minute detail, everything that we now needed to do to make ourselves "safe" again. No one bothered to read it, no one bothered to question how something this intricate could have been completed in 5 minutes, or that it's contents might be a recipe for the end of Freedom and Liberty we were supposedly fighting for.

    For those too dim to have figured this out yet, we are being targeted for Termination. The powers that are in control now can't be bargained with. They can't be reasoned with. They don't feel pity, or remorse, or fear, and they absolutely will not stop. Ever. Until we are dead. Until Freedom is dead.

    The War is coming. Prepare yourselves accordingly.
