George Bush, the Prince of Darkness, is expected to propose a new cabinet level law enforcement agency to increase the power of police state.
Its charge would be to gather intelligence from across the government — agencies ranging from the FBI and CIA to the Customs Service, Coast Guard, Immigration and Naturalization Service and state and local law enforcement — and “synthesize” that material with an eye on disrupting terrorist and other criminal activity and heading off future terrorist attacks.
In other words, its a newer, better, bigger, more powerful, invasive uber-authoritarian agency. I can’t wait to see Homeland Protection agents goosestepping about town with their colorful armbands and stylish Oakley sunglasses.
Ari “The Mouth of Sauron” Fleischer put it simply for all the cogs to hear, “The purpose is to protect the homeland from terror.” What we really need to do is to create an agency that will put some of these Wall Street terrorists behind bars. Kenneth Lay, Bush, Cheney, and those sheisters from Merrill Lynch could use some vacation time eating Froot Loops in Gitmo. I’d love to see George Bush in an orange jumpsuit. It would be priceless. That reminds me. I’ve always wondered how we’ve gotten away with building a prison camp in Cuba? Does the US pay its enemy Castro for this privilege or what?
