The US government created the Northern Command after 911, which is basically an unconstitutional arm of the military aimed at domestic control.
And the drum beat and scare mongering has started in preparation for election 2008.

The truth is the attack is coming and they cannot stop it. But instead of telling you the truth they must seems like they are in control and actively trying to stop it.

The actions of the US administration post 911 have made it a certainty that we (innocent Americans) will be targeted and killed. But they won't admit their mistakes or misguided foreign policies that are not designed to foment peace, but instead perpetuate war, that ensures their power and wealth and control.

The US Northern Command, U.S. military commander in charge of domestic defense??
Isn't our entire military in charge of "domestic defense". That should not mean they operate within the US.

This is a command deployed to operate within the US borders, something the constitution forbids and the framers of the constitution warned about. The next attack when it comes will give the US administration all the ammo they need to eliminate the last vestiges of civil liberty and constitutional freedoms. Bush has already declared, argued for, and taken extra constitutional powers in the name of his authority as commander in chief in time of war, so says the Supreme Court. But they are not done, not by a long shot.

The next attack may well be horrendous but the aftermath will be much worse, as with 911 the governments response will do more harm than good. And don't expect the military to be there to save the victims, you will be on your own, like the victims of Katrina. Michael Chertoff has as much as said so in statements, that Americans should not expect the government to get help to you in a crisis. Buy your own duct tape, batteries and water.

And if you believe , as I do , that we have yet to be told the whole truth about 911, then you must be a little skeptical, that this administration would be above manufacturing a crisis, to ensure the election for McCain, and taking Americans minds off the downward spiral of the economy, and give the administration a scapegoat for the recession/depression that is overtaking our economy, and a cement in place military control over civilian institutions. Right now it is only those declared by GW to be 'illegal combatants' who have been tortured and deprived of their human rights, but tomorrow??

We already have anecdotal and whistle blower evidence that illegal wiretapping and relaxed rules for law enforcement, searches and seizures, have been used in domestic criminal cases, contrary to what the administration has told us that these techniques are ONLY being used against terrorists.

Once you give law enforcement new powers they will use them as they please. Absolute power corrupts absolutely, it's an old maxim. Many thousands of national security letters have gone out demanding information and access to what otherwise would require a court order to obtain, using something called 'evidence' of a crime.

That may seem quaint and provincial to Dick Cheney and his Neo-Con fascist followers but it is the cornerstone our freedoms and liberties in this country and should not be swept aside so lightly, not by national emergencies or time of war.

If we give up those rights we don't have them anymore, and the constitution is not worth the paper it was written on.

And yet many Americans still think that these activities are restricted to surveillance of terrorists. By the time Americans are aware of this the next attack will subdue any protest for the most draconian of measures. People protesting for their civil liberties will be labeled traitors, and terrorist sympathizers, or worse, arrested for speaking their minds, held without charges or access to a lawyer, 'because they are dangerous' and 'we have to' and your either with us or against us.....

"Al Qaeda terrorists may be plotting more urgently to attack the United States to maintain their credibility and ability to recruit followers, the U.S. military commander in charge of domestic defense said Thursday."

"Air Force Gen. Gene Renuart, chief of the U.S. Northern Command, also told reporters he has not seen any direct threats tied to the U.S. presidential elections. But he said it would be rash to think that such threats are not there."

"About the same time, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff raised eyebrows when he said he had a "gut feeling" that the United States faced a heightened risk of attack."
