SOCOM

We all know another terror attack is coming. When it does, Rumsfeld's Special Operations Command -- SOCOM -- stands poised to enforce dictatorial control over the United States and the rest of the world. Funded to the tune of $8 billion, SOCOM is a strike force of Green Berets and Navy Seals -- the best of the best, straight from the heart of Jesusland -- all of whom have been brainwashed to view liberals as terrorists. As Mike Whitney puts it:

Under the secretary’s direction, 53,000 paramilitaries and Green Berets will be released into sovereign nations in violation of international law, conducting renditions, assassinations, sabotage, and acts of piracy. Rumsfeld’s plan abandons all prior constraints on the military and converts the entire world into a "free-fire" zone.

There’s no doubt that Rumsfeld’s malignant strategy encompasses the American "homeland" as well. It was Rumsfeld who pushed the Posse Comitatus law towards extinction by setting up NorthCom, a military command post within the United States. This creates the possibility that future military operations will target the American people, a threat which was anticipated by the founding fathers. Under new legislation the military is free to spy on American citizens, deploy mercenaries to natural disasters, and, in the event of a terrorist attack, arrest citizens without charges.

The power-mad Bush administration has every reason to stage a new domestic attack. When it happens, do not believe one official word.
