If
you enjoyed the global corporatocracy’s original War on Islamicist
Terror, you’re going to love their latest spinoff, The War on White
Supremacist Terror. It’s basically just like the old War on Terror,
except that this time the bad guys are all white supremacists, and
Donald Trump is Osama bin Laden … unless Putin is Osama bin Laden. OK,
I’m not quite sure who’s Osama bin Laden. Whatever. The point is, the
Terrorists are coming!
Yes,
that’s right, some racist psycho murdered a bunch of people in Texas, so
it’s time to “take the gloves off” again, pass some new kind of Patriot
Act, further curtail our civil liberties, and generally whip the public
up into a mass hysteria over “white supremacist terrorism.”
The New York Times Editorial Board is already hard at work on that front. In a lengthy op-ed that ran last Sunday, “We Have a White Nationalist Terrorist Problem,”
the Board proposes that we would all be safer if the government — but
presumably not the current government — could arbitrarily deem people
“terrorists,” or “potential terrorists,” or “terrorist sympathizers,”
regardless of whether they have any connection to any actual terrorist
groups, and … well, here’s what the Editorial Board has in mind.
“The resources of the American government and its international allies would mobilize without delay. The awesome power of the state would work tirelessly to deny future terrorists access to weaponry, money and forums to spread their ideology. The movement would be infiltrated by spies and informants. Its financiers would face sanctions. Places of congregation would be surveilled. Those who gave aid or comfort to terrorists would be prosecuted.”...........http://www.unz.com/chopkins/the-war-on-white-supremacist-terror/
