The Administration is using the financial crisis as a vehicle to massively transfer wealth from the population-at-large to the financial élite, and what we see are a few outraged comments in independent media and some scattered and desultory protests. This will not avert the REAL catastrophe for the people, because once the Police State is installed, it would be almost impossible for any effective counter action, one has only to look to the relatively recent history of the USSR, and without a mass protest movement, bigger than that during the Vietnam war, you are bound to repeat it, the history, that is! . .

Although you probably already have the story (have not perused all of Parry's collection)...but, if not, check out 'Axis of Logic' website and the Oct.5,'08 entry ..."Congress denied access to Martial Law Plan" by Congressman Peter Defazio and the accompaning videos..."Bush officials have denied Congressman Peter Defazio from his duty to review classified White House documents that describe how the Administration plans to conduct the US government if martial law is declared." While this nation is nervously counting its gold coins; or its pennies...this administration's mice will play,maybe? Should we be waiting for the next 'shoe' to fall'...or is it a boot? Who knows if St Paul was but a trial run, a canary in the mine, whatever...at least it may be worth wondering about? Certainly Wall Street crashing is more than a distraction...but it could only begin there...so what's next folks? Thanks Nigel Parry for your valuable research.

Should we be waiting for the next ‘shoe’ to fall’…or is it a boot? Who knows if St Paul was but a trial run, a canary in the mine, whatever…at least it may be worth wondering about?

Certainly Wall Street crashing is more than a distraction…but it could only begin there…so what’s next folks?

The RNC seems like so much ancient history now with the Presidential campaigns and the economic turmoil. Even the Iraq War and the war in Afghanistan have been placed on the "back burner" in people's minds. What happened in the Twin Cities in terms of revealing what a militarized, militaristic state we live in is important. The comments of many people that the brutality of the cops in St. Paul, the infiltration and the suppression of fundamental rights are just OK now with a sizeable portion of the population.
