Newt World Order
Bush and co paving the way for power mad freaks like Gingrich

Newt Gingrich's latest attack on the First Amendment is a revealing
insight into the long term agenda of elite minds in America today. Those
who would be successors to the Bush Administration are even more bent on
power and dominance and they see absolutely no place for the freedoms
America was founded on to continue to exist under their leadership.

At a dinner honouring the sanctity of the First Amendment this week,
Newt Gingrich stood up and gave a talk about restricting freedom of
speech.

Gingrich stated:

"My Prediction to you is that either before we lose a city or, if we are
truly stupid, after we lose a city, we will adopt rules of engagement
that use every technology that we can find to break up their capacity to
use the internet, to break up their capacity to use free speech, and to
go after people who want to kill us to stop them recruiting people
before they get to reach out and convince young people to destroy their
lives while destroying us."

"I want to suggest to you right now that we should empanelling people to
look seriously at a level of supervision that we would never dream of if
it were not for the scale of this threat. This is a serious long term
war and it will lead us to want to know what is said in every suspect
place in the country, it will lead to us to learn how to close down
every website that is dangerous."

“We should propose a Geneva Convention for fighting terrorism, which
makes very clear that those who would fight outside the rules of law,
those who would use weapons of mass destruction, and those who would
target civilians are, in fact, subject to a totally different set of
rules that allow us to protect civilization by defeating barbarism
before it gains so much strength that it is truly horrendous.”
Keith Olbermann devoted a section of his Countdown program to Gingrich's
abomination and commented "If you're going to destroy freedom of speech
Bub, you've already lost all the cities.", whilst comparing the speech
to the rhetoric of Nazi politicians in Germany in the 1930s.

George Washington University Law Professor and Constitutional Law Expert
Jonathan Turley joined Olbermann and warned:

"This could actually happen, the first Amendment is an abstraction and
when you put up against it the idea of incinerating millions of people,
there will be millions of citizens that respond, like some Pavlovian
response, and deliver up rights, we've already seen that. People don't
seem to appreciate that you really can't save a constitution by
destroying it."
This is not some crackpot peddling a nonsense idea that we should simply
laugh off, this is the former speaker of the House who is also gearing
up for a 2008 Presidential run. Turley continued:

"What you see here I think is the insatiable appetite that has developed
amongst certain leaders for controlling American society. We saw that
with John Ashcroft not long after 9/11 when he said that critics were
aiding and abetting terrorists. There is this insatiable appetite that
develops when you feed absolute power to people like Gingrich. And
people should not assume that these are going to just be fringe
candidates in this will never happen. Fear does amazing things to people
and it can cause a sort of self mutilation in a democracy where we give
up the very things, the very rights that define us and theoretically the
very things that we are defending."

Gingrich served as a Member of Congress for 20 years and as Speaker of
the U.S. House of Representatives from 1995-1999. His "Contract with
America" was sold to the nation as a remedy for big government,
committed to shrinking the size and cost of government. But instead the
Contract called for the exact opposite: balance the budget with a
loophole-filled amendment that would reflect ill of the Constitution
instead of Congress; expand NATO; deliver more crime control power to
the federal government; federalize a host of laws dealing with children;
etc.

In addition Gingrich is a member of the Senior Advisory Board of the
United States Commission on National Security/21st Century that has
produced a series of reports that document the agenda for national
security challenges as far out as 2025.

So essentially when he says he "predicts" the evisceration of the First
Amendment, he is quoting actual government strategy for the next twenty
years.

Gingrich, a regular attendee of the annual Summer camp at the Bohemian
Grove, and long term CFR member, has previously openly referred to
anyone who oppose Bush-Republican Neo-Conservative madness as being part
of an "insurgency"

Gingrich also stated recently that "It's not an insult[ ]" to compare
Bush administration critics "to those who enabled Hitler"

Open and truly democratic governments don't view their political
opponents as "enemies" whose opposition is looked upon as an
"insurgency", and they certainly don't feel a need to be at war with the
people they govern. For Gingrich, and the entire Neo-Conservative
movement; however, the reality is that the American people are
increasingly questioning their "right to rule" and are, therefore,
considered enemies or, as Newt Gingrich more aptly said, an
"insurgency".

Gingrich has also previously said the third world war has already begun
and that the United States must do everything in its power to bring
about regime change in Iran, even if it means invading that nation.

"This is 1935 and [Iranian president] Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is as close to
Adolf Hitler as we’ve seen. We now know who they are -- the question is
who we are. Are we Baldwin or Churchill?" Gingrich said, noting that
Churchill recognized the danger from Nazi Germany and urged that Britain
prepare to meet it.
No Newt, this is 2006 and YOU are the closest thing to Adolf Hitler
we've seen.

Gingrich went on to state that Tehran could be planning for a preemptive
nuclear electromagnetic pulse attack on America that would turn a third
or more of the country "back to a 19th century level of development."

He said the "extraordinary challenge that the current regime in Iran
poses to the safety of the United States" requires "extraordinary
measures to meet it."

The idea that Iran has nuclear electromagnetic pulse weapons is utterly
ludicrous. In Fact the CIA has concluded that there is absolutely no
evidence that Iran has any form of hostile nuclear weapons program. The
level to which this traitor is twisting reality to fit his own crazy
notion of the way the world operates is indicative of the Straussian
global outlook that we have come to see so clearly adopted by the so
called neoconservative movement.

Like Plato, Strauss taught that within societies, "some are fit to lead,
and others to be led", according to Shadia Drury, author of 1999's Leo
Strauss and the American Right. But, unlike Plato, who believed that
leaders had to be people with such high moral standards that they could
resist the temptations of power, Strauss thought that "those who are fit
to rule are those who realize there is no morality and that there is
only one natural right, the right of the superior to rule over the
inferior".

We have previously exposed how many major influences on the Bush
Administration and leading Neoconservative think tanks are followers of
Strauss. In addition to Gingrich himself, former Deputy Defense
Secretary Paul Wolfowitz, Weekly Standard chief editor William Kristol,
His father Irving, and Gary Schmitt, founder, chairman and director of
the Project for the New American Century (PNAC).

Leo Strauss was also a strong believer in the "Realism" form of
International Relations made prominent by Thomas Hobbes. Like Hobbes, he
thought that human nature was intrinsically aggressive and could be
restrained only through a State formed via a powerful military
industrial complex . "Because mankind is intrinsically wicked, he has to
be governed," he once wrote. "Such governance can only be established,
however, when men are united - and they can only be united against other
people."

"Strauss thinks that a political order can be stable only if it is
united by an external threat," Drury wrote in her book. "Following
Machiavelli, he maintains that if no external threat exists, then one
has to be manufactured. This is what Henry Kissinger was referring to in
that often quoted statement he made about creating external future
threats in order to guard the world order he wishes to see become more
prevalent and powerful, the system we often refer to as the "New World
Order". Thus for the Neocons, when the Soviet Empire weakened and a
Unipolar world order was emerging, a new threat had to be there lurking
to allow them to further their Straussian vision.

"In Strauss' view, you have to fight all the time [to survive]," said
Drury. "In that respect, it's very Spartan. Peace leads to decadence.
Perpetual war, not perpetual peace, is what Straussians believe in."
Such views naturally lead to an "aggressive, belligerent policy", she
added.

The Bush administration is paving the way for even more authoritarian
minds to take over the higher echelons of leadership in America. They
are, whether wittingly or unwittingly, putting into place the tools that
would be dictators know they can use to eviscerate freedom and seize
power.

The Patriot Act and the Military Commissions Act and prime examples of
such legislation. Whilst Bush's Homeland Security goes after the toy
store owners and topless bar managers, a Gingrich Administration would
look toward shutting down the entire blogosphere for engaging in
critical debate.

As Keith Olbermann comments, "When you talk about closing down internet
sites, who is the one who is going to decide which those are?"

The Neoconservatives currently occupying the White House are puppies
compared with the ones that want to occupy it. Bush, Cheney, Rice,
Bolton etc are converts to the Neoconservative vision. More than
anything they have embraced Neoconservativism because its philosophy
fits neatly with their goal for corporate plundering and unquestionable
power. It is debatable whether they truly buy into neoconservativism or
are simply using it as a tool.

The true students of the movement are the Newt Gingrich's of this world.
The "Internationalists" that make up the Council On Foreign Relations
and the Trilateral Commission. These people truly believe that the
American people do not have the capacity to self govern and that they
need to be deceived into believing they are free when in actual fact
they are ruled over with an iron fist.

Part of what was said is true,but only to a point. The people that we
need to hunt are not amercian citizens,and not covered by the first
amendment. we like to give our rights to all kinds of people that do not
deserve them. Illegal neighbors from the south,north ,east and west. But
theses rights were earned by amercians dying to protect those rights for
other amercians. If others want thoses rights,they need to become
Amercians, legaly. There are no others in this country entitled to those
rights.If they want to target those who would hurt us,O.k. if your that
worried,maybe you'd like to take your chances in another country? Take
your pick,ours is still better...

SEE HOW THE TRUTH GETS TWISTED?
Part truths and mis quotes are not truth. It is Manipulation. I learned
long ago that there are usually several false truths for each real one.
