Just one more step

Toward a total police state. The time is nigh at hand. They started installing cameras on every street corner in New York last week, and many other cities are discussing and contemplating doing the same. England now has miniature remote-controlled helicopters that are capable of carrying cameras, even inside a building. If they can carry a camera, imagine what else they could carry? And the present US powers that be always follow closely in the steps of their British brethren.

The Iraq "war" is not a war, it is a police action. It may have been a war for about a month after it started, but even our proud president announced that the war was over. He still calls it a war, but it's nothing but a training feild for our troops to become hardened and police action ready.

A link that shouod give the interested reader something to think about:

"Bush Administration defies the Geneva Conventions

In February 2003, the Geneva-based International Red Cross ruled that Muslims captured in Afghanistan were Prisoners of War (POWs) and entitled to the protections afforded by the Geneva Conventions. The Bush administration rejected this decision and shocked the world community by openly defying the Geneva Conventions and insisting the POWs were "detainees". America's corporate media ignored this story, implying that each head-of-state is allowed to interpret the Geneva Conventions however he pleases. The International Committee of the Red Cross is charged with interpreting the Geneva conventions and using diplomacy to encourage compliance. The world is outraged as the US military continues to violate the Geneva Conventions by interrogating POWs for long periods while boasting some will be executed."

Oddly enough, I can't find a link anywhere about the better than two dozen stockades scatterd about the US that one of our news channels announced a few weeks ago. However, here is a link to a map showing the location of Stockades built to house German prisoners and other political prisoners. I would guess present day stockades would be about the same:

Here's another link a little closer to present-day military prisons. You did know when a "State of Emergency" is declared and a "Police Action" starts, there will be no difference in civilian prisoners, or "detainees", and military prisioners?

"Present-Day Military Corrections
The Department of Defense Corrections Council, made up
of each service?s corrections director and chair of the
respective clemency and parole board, provides oversight
and guidance to the services. Each service headquarters
develops policies and budgets and provides oversight to the
facilities they operate. The Army is the executive agent for
Level 3 corrections. The Army and Marine Corps are the
only services that possess active-duty service members with
a career military occupation of correctional officer.
The military?s 59 facilities have a design capacity of
4,166 and an operational capacity of 3,249. The total popu-
lation in military facilities at year-end 2002 was 2,377, com-
prising 57 percent of its design capacity and 73 percent of
its operational capacity. While the Federal Bureau of Pris-
ons and most states battle crowding issues, the military in
2002 had the lowest percentage of its capacity used,
according to a comparison of the departments of Justice
and Defense 2002 annual reports. The military has the fifth
lowest inmate population in the country and confines 170
inmates per 100,000 service members, compared with the
national average of 701 inmates per 100,000 residents. The
Army operates six facilities, confining the most military
inmates (41 percent), while the Navy operates 11 facilities
that confine 34 percent of the military inmate population;
the Marine Corps operates six facilities, confining 20 per-
cent of the inmate population; and the Air Force operates
36 facilities, confining 5 percent of the military inmate pop-
ulation.
Level 1 is the lowest tier in the correctional system and
is used to confine pretrial and post-trial inmates with sen-"

If you don't, you might better start learning now. You might not get the chance when the time comes.
