Cheney's assassination squad includes mind-controlled slaves, er, soldiers. Just like Dollhouse.
Now Fox this week fired its chairman who allowed Dollhouse to exist. Coincidence?

They made linux a computing language, that's clever of them.

That's what I said: This stuff has been going on for DECADES.
Of course, that doesn't explain why you then turn around and say: We didn't assassinate people in Vietnam or prop up tyrants around the world. You can't use past misdeeds to justify current misdeeds, and then believe that our past was clean, can you? (Well, YOU could, but that's just you.)

See what I mean?
If people aren't already outraged, this isn't going to push them en masse over the edge. Auhtoritarian right-wingers and status-quoers will find a way to deny, minimize, or justify the Bush administration's power grab. About 25% of our population is dyed-in-the-wool ideologically authoritarian conservative. About 25% is left-leaning. The remaining 50% only respond to immediate concerns: their job, or the price of gas.
Riots in the streets?
Only when peeps get so economically pinched they can't stand it anymore.

First of all, I almost passed over the thread, thinking it was a PN-spawned one.
Second, "In about eleven days, every major city in america would look like post-Katrina New Orleans." Well, OK - I've got it marked on my calendar. I'll give it a month beyond the date just in case. (I also have 2012 marked.)
Third, supposedly confidential reports of US torture investigated and written-up by the ICRC have already been leaked, so it can't be that. Hmmm, what could it be, I wonder.
Fourth, the way people responded to 1/10 of the entire US public having their calls traced (or technical equivalent), to Katrina and the still existing state of New Orleans, to torture, to being lied into a war, to any number of misdeeds and illegalities -- BIIIiiiggggg ho hum -- makes me think NOTHING will make USers stand up.
All in all though, Hersh is extremely reliable. I'll be waiting to see what comes out of this.

I'm sorry, but when I see "Cheney's assassination ring", the image I can't get out of my head is one of Cheney with an actual ring on his finger that shoots out a lethal laser. I picture Mike Myers in the Dick Cheney role... "And we want a ring. A ring with LASERZZZZZZ."

Yup. Even if you found out they were putting PAX in the air scrubbers, very few would be upset enough to do anything about it. Of course, that's the whole idea behind putting PAX in the air scrubbers to begin with, innit?

The "On Fire" Economy -
The Dow closed at 10,587.60 on January 20, 2001, the day GW Bush took office. Eight years later, it closed below 8000 on the day he left office - a net loss of 25%. That's what conservatives call an economic "success".

Well, I will say that it kinda disgusts me to be *hoping* for a ho-hum reaction given the potentially awful alternatives...
There's an X-factor to public reaction that's quite unpredictable, although media coverage does apply, and the country and/or parts of it have gone relatively apeshit over "minor" things before, like the sinking of the USS Maine or the Rodney King Incident, so you really never know what spark might light the powder keg, which is why smart folk don't go throwing them sparks willy-nilly.
Focused outrage has it's place, but when the monster within man slips the leash things can turn ugly quick, yanno ?
I worry that one faction might wind up the public against another with the assistance of 'friendly' media and unknowingly light the fuse on us - especially given the amount of suppressed rage over the economic situation, especially if/when it starts hitting home in, as you say, a personal, undeniable way on Joe and Jill Public.
Been doin a little historic research concerning the French Revolution and the Reign of Terror cause some things can indeed be historically predictable, and roadblocking the conditions which could lead to that here is kinda important to me.
Obviously, I don't have a lotta support from my fellow Anarchists, who aren't exactly sympathetic to the general populace as a rule - but I consider them a bit short-sighted and blinded by their own ideology to the factual consquences of a political collapse that takes out society with it, especially so in light of the current examples in Africa at this time.
But then, the voice of reason is never quite as popular as that encouraging action, that's always been true as well - for my part however, it's my opinion that sometimes the safest and wisest course is to stay your hand even as your heart cries out to let it fall.
I don't wanna see the world burn - I wanna see it grow up, and alas that no ideal is without it's idiots, Anarchism far more than others just by it's very nature, too bad more people cannot be made to understand that forcing ANY social or political model upon the unwilling is an immoral act at best, and much MORE so for a model supposedly based on lack of coercion.
Trying to kick some sense into "allies" that don't even *like* you is never a fun proposition to begin with, as you can well imagine.

Okay, okay, "Cheny assassination ring" sounds a little like his secret decoder ring. How about "squad"? Does that do it for ya?
