Beware the Rise of the Fourth Reich

By Indira Rai-Choudhury and Jim Kirwan

July 20,  2004

I do not fear for myself, though perhaps well I ought to...but I have real and palpable fear for this country, for what is left of Democracy, for the future of my children and, for the rest of the world.

I watch as everything I was educated to believe in crumbles around me. I watch as there are secret detentions, extraordinary renditions, secret trials, disappeared, people held with no charges and no evidence, searched without judicial review and without their knowledge, a homeland security office that last spoke of round ups of "disgruntled" and people from 33 nationalities. At the same time, our unused military bases are being turned into concentration camps. And, this is just the start, the time before the sunset provisions of the Patriot Act or being eliminated either through the Hatch bill or by the Domestic Security Act...

I watch and I am afraid...

I watch the Zionist JINSA Cabal carry out its arrogant and racist Program for a New American Century as it ignores international law and international will, as it commits war crimes with no shame, and guts benefits to the elderly, to the veterans, to health care and education, while subsidizing all of those programs inside "Israel." They call Sharon, the butcher, a man of peace, as the blood of thousands at Sabra and Shatilla are still wet in my tears. The US protects Israel, a "nation' who stands in violation of more UN resolutions than any other nation on earth. Protected as she holds onto to her atomic weapons . Protected in her racist apartheid genocide by the US veto used as a bludgeon against the people of Palestine. And they call those who defend Palestine terrorists. And they call the deserter that stole the election the Commander in Chief and a leader of Democracy.

I could almost laugh through my tears, but instead, I watch, and I am afraid.

I watch this country accept willingly the loss of all that the founding father's proclaimed to be important, the destruction of separation of powers, checks and balances, due process and free speech, the right to privacy, the targeting of people based on religion and ethnic origins. These are things men fought and died for and they are now given up willingly.

I watch and I am afraid...

I watch as the rape of the American taxpayer finances the million dollar a year payola to Cheney from Halliburton, the dealings of Perle, and the declarations of Woosley that there is a World War IV and it is against Islam. These Zionist members of JINSA, who will be running a "free" Iraq, as they are about to declare war on Syria, or Iran. Endless war, endless bloodshed, endless injustice.

I watch as the rape and sodomy of children in the Gulag that is Camp Bucca, or Abu Ghraib is tolerated while the men who conspired to evade International law still stand at the helm of a country I no longer feel part of. I wonder do the screams of those babies echo in the minds and hearts of our Senators who have seen these atrocities on tape?

I watch, and I am afraid.

I am afraid because this is the rise of the Fourth Reich...the rise of racist and immoral power hungry men that rationalize crimes against humanity and criminalize all dissent.

I am afraid, and I have run out of words, or, rather, it would seem words have had no effect, have done nothing at all to stop the rise of evil and ruthless men to eviscerate all that once made this Nation great.

I am afraid, and I will become one of the disappeared. I will either be taken away, or I will leave this place, this country that I no longer know and now fear. I am a stranger in my own land...I am a woman without a country.

Beware the rise of the Fourth Reich...it is upon us.

Slavery and Tyranny in the Fourth Reich 

By Jim Kirwan (7/20/04)

You're one of the authentic women who lives and continues the fight, whether you realize it or not. What enrages us all is not some fantastic nightmare but a growing and deepening set of facts. There are of course reasons for how all of this came to be, and for why this is the largest growth industry in the world at this moment: And these reasons are directly traceable back to petty self-interest, to pure greed, and to racism on a global scale; but the main component is the emptiness of most people "in the game" today. Until we dare to question who we are, and what our lives are all about - all of this will only tighten all these chains that we have placed upon ourselves.

There can not be a society, unless people talk to one another and keep the words they say, with some degree of personal integrity. That sentence is not flashy or sexy, but it lies at the root of all of this continuum that became the ramp that has led us into global war.

There seems to no longer be a "we" - whether because too many of us want to distance ourselves from any blame, or whether we have become so self-absorbed that our petty concerns have blocked out the real and horrific damage that our individual pursuits are causing worldwide.

In brief, we have lost that 'spark' that enables the vitality of human life. we have unwittingly chosen to fall in line and follow orders - any orders - no matter how self-defeating, no matter how enslaving those dictates might be. We can blame the various butchers and evil cabals around the planet, for their parts in all of this - but in the end it is each and every one of us who have broken the bonds of trust, between ourselves and what we have engaged in - around the world - that has led each of us to be a passenger on this down-bound express train to the depths of hell itself. . .
