I would not believe him if he told me that the White House was in the District of Columbia. And with few exceptions, the Democrats asked some very wimpy, softball questions and then allowed the Republicans to insult and attack them. Thank God for Maxine Waters. She has more testosterone than the whole panel. What a joke.</p> How could they NOT swear in a proven liar and prevaricator.

It’s either that virus or some other little bioweapon that will be released that will open the door for a public health emergency, quarantines, and Blackwater in the streets.

People need to understand how viruses mutate and get out, what is a natural virus and what is something that just shouldn’t be here, how passages through hosts increase the pathogenicity of a virus .

We are being set up. We have an idiot embarrassing us throughout the world, a bunch of criminals looting the treasury, and 28% of the country are OK with all of this.

And in the 60s the saying was “Even paranoid people have enemies,” updated to “Only the paranoid people are paying attention.”

I’m paying such close attention I don’t even trust myself anymore.

Yes, it’s just a piece of paper.

Think about what to do if such a thing should happen. Read up on what other people have done in similar situations — Amer Revolution, for instance, invasions of Poland, Hungary, Tibet or Iraq. Anything useful there? People can push back. Plan what you would do if BlackH2O showed up in your town and your Toobz stopped working or were censored or monitored. Decide what resources — stuff, books,contact info, instruction manuals — you would wish you had gotten when you could have. [snip]

Should Americans ever need to defend against unconstitutional overthrow of lawful domestic power by foreign mercenaries, they would find the techniques in Ecodefense most valuable.

As I believe no enemy of our democracy would ever (again) be so foolish as to usurp Federal power through unconstitutional means, I offer the reference for anyone considering writing speculative fiction about Americans’ capacity to resist and disrupt occupying military forces on American soil.

An unimaginable situation, to be sure.

At least the Congress should skip its recess this year, given Bush’s propensity for appalling recess appointments.

HAR! Like THAT would ever happen. Why don’t you ask them to give up their parking spaces & free postage while you’re at it?
