The Invisible Dictatorship

kon4m | 04.10.2001 18:11

If things go really bad how will the people be able to respond to State repression?

What`s going on these days has only convinced me more that we really do live in an Invisible Dictatorship, we just don`t see it. Most people would argue that we live in a "democracy", a "free" country where anybody can speak out and say his word. And that is relatively true, altho I still believe we`re only able to say what we`re left to say. but can one ACT if the situation gets drastic? if the State`s repression escalates to an effective new form of fascism how can the people react? the men who fought these century`s dictatorship [i come from italy and have a great knowledge of the partisan struggle] were men of great courage and their fight was certainly not an easy one but because of the State`s technological knowledge the control it had on the people was relative and organizing a revolution was possible through great effort. and it could be said that in many cases the revolutions through history were fought with the same weapons on both sides [THEY now have weapons we son`t even know of!]. could all this be possible today? could organizing and anti-government organization be possible when every communication system is controlled? some people say that we can`t look back at history but have to find new ways to fight. which is true but still the sense of impotence i sometimes feel when thinking about what we could do in case of the government coming down on us is overwhelming.
just a tormented thought.

...but as bill burroughs once said,"we gotta get like the israelies now".He was talking of gays arming for self defence and Im talking of targeted action.Read assasination politics by jim bell.Especially after the 'soft drilling'part,AP and the internet may be our last best hope.
Massive,peaceful direct action wouldnt hurt either.

state repression

i'd agree that's a very important point, con4m. all the lies and bullshit in the wake of this thing are lining the stuff up - particlarly with how things went in genoa. i dont think the internet will help us its already been attacked as an aid to bin laden. and offers the opportunity of electronic tagging of where we're at, our affilliations and obssessions - and as anyone with firewalls up will know, we're always being probed by someone out there.
the maintenance of freedom somehow ties in with blair's 'uncontrovertible proof'thing - ie zilch. let's keep an eye on those FEMA internment camps in the us and wonder if we're going to fill a british version of that one day soon. hey! i think i'm getting paranoid. a serious object for debate.

Biological Attack

05.10.2001 09:38

This whole chemtrail issue is related to the plan for decreasing the world population to around 450-500 million -- and starting with the US
first. Why? The people of the US are the only ones with even the remotest chance of stopping this. That is, if they knew about it. That's why the US has to be the first to go. You have to understand that the world's elite covet the US for its geographic diversity - and they would love to return this country to its condition as it existed prior to Columbus setting foot here, but without the Native Americans this time of
course.

You may have already heard how several national parks have been
designated as world biospheres - that's the plan for all of North America,a giant nature park and playground that will be devoid of annoying human beings (that would be us). And the people actually involved in doing the spraying, as well as those who will take part in the rest of the plans, are being duped into believing they will be spared, that is, permitted to live and remain on this continent as administrators and caretakers of this vast nature preserve. I understand that about 150 to 200 thousand people are projected as necessary for maintenance purposes. But it's likely these people will not be Americans. Those in charge wouldn't want to risk the
possibility of some sort of revolt, so the workers will probably be brought in from Europe and Asia.

There are rumors floating about the internet that the chemtrails are part of some sort of secret program the government is doing to protect the US from future biological attacks. Nothing could be further from the truth. The plan is to sensitize, or condition, the US population to being wiped out by influenza A. Over the past few years, people have been encouraged to get flu shots to protect them against the generally non-lethal strains that circulate through the population during flu season.

Each year the US government has guessed which strains were most
likely to spread. They seem to always guess right - don't they?

This flu season, the government protected people with a trivalent vaccine that included the A/Beijing/262/95-like (H1N1) and the A/Sydney/5/97-like (H3N2). It also contained the B/Beijing/184/93-like hemagglutinin antigens.

For those not familiar with virology, the H and N refer to
proteins on the outside of the virus, the hemagglutinin and
neuraminidase,which are responsible for the virus attaching to, and then invading, a host cell. The public has been quite pleased with the success of the vaccines offered so far. But that will change in the future.

Researchers at the US Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious
Diseases (or USAMRIID) at Fort Detrick in Frederick MD have econstructed and modified the H1N1 Spanish Flu virus, making it far more deadly than it ever was back when it was responsible for the
1918-1919 flu pandemic that killed over 20 million worldwide and over
500,000 here in the US. Consider that it could have killed many more, but back then, people couldn't hop on a jet and travel from New York to L.A. in five hours. Now, our ability to travel will increase the spread and will be our downfall.

The flu vaccines contain killed virus and protect the body well against challenge by that particular strain, but work poorly against other strains not included in the inoculation. At some point, the vaccine stockpile will include the more lethal modification of the 1918 H1N1 in its live form.

Most people receiving this vaccine will simply be renewing their annual flu shot, and the vaccine will still include the inactivated version of the more benign form of H1N1 (as was included in this year's vaccine).

The presence of the milder strain in the inoculum will slow down the
progression of the more lethal H1N1 form, so people will become sick more slowly - but they will still eventually die. It will just take a few weeks longer.

In the meantime, they will be carriers for the lethal form of the virus, passing it on to everyone with whom they make contact. And as people hear that others are dropping dead from the flu, they will flock to get their own vaccination. And the entire population will be more receptive to infection because their lungs will have been pre-conditioned to guarantee it.

If you will remember back to 1968 and '69, the Hong Kong flu, which was influenza A type H3N2, killed over 30,000 people in the U.S.
alone. That was a fortuitous learning event for some because it taught them that the flu could still conceivably be used to wipe out a
population. But at the same time, it pointed out the need to precondition the populace so that those who might normally be resistant could be rendered susceptible. Hence the development of the vaccine program and the aerial spraying procedures to condition the population.

The purpose of the chemicals in the chemtrails is to help the viral
envelope fuse with lung cells, permitting easier penetration and infection.

But what about those few individuals who don't succumb to the
flu? Probability alone demands that there will be some who survive -
pockets of the population that are either not reached or somehow (and this is less likely) are resistant to the lethal H1N1 strain. At this point you must also remember that our military personnel have been immunized against a variety of pathogens, including the anthrax bacillus.

For those geographically isolated areas where the flu doesn't do its job, it's a fairly simple matter to lay down anthrax spores and then send in what's left of the military to take care of anyone still breathing.

The anthrax spraying will probably come under the guise of a flu protection program to save those still alive after the epidemic. And the military, having been exposed to civilians with the flu, will eagerly await their own flu shots.

I should emphasize that this is a last resort scenario. Those
orchestrating the plan will not want to use anthrax until all other
possibilities are exhausted - this because of the long-term viability of anthrax spores. To scatter them over the countryside would mean the area would be dangerous for use by humans, at least those not vaccinated against the bacteria.

All dictatorships are finite

05.10.2001 11:10

There are two conditions impossible in this world: One is absolute freedom and the other is absolute dictatorship. Sure the State is trying to stuff us all into a fascist prison house under the name of combating `terrorism' and resisting it will involve great personal sacrifices. On the other hand there is no guarantee under fascism that `not resisting' will not involve great personal sacrifices either. So that is where resisting becomes fun- dictatorships are fun to screw and they are so stupid and predictable usually (if you don't know what weapons they have most probably they don't know too) that even a few dozen people determined to bring down the system can do so. After all it was a few jokes that really brought the fortress of Eastern Europe crumbling down (and this is not a joke !). The moment Bush Jr and company take themselves too seriously, as they are right now, they are doomed to be defeated by the simplest actions of the simplest people. Go ahead resist and have fun while doing it !!
