Despotism...  and epic classroom film!


LMAO!!!  OMG!  That's funny!

Right out of a McCarthy era witch hunt. 1946  or 1947 I think.
I'm sure Ira has this film in his archives!

Thanks for the laugh Cic!

Signs of Despotism

1) Lack of respect for other groups, such as races, classes, political attitude or religion (Continual drone strikes against Muslims, Indefinite detention of Muslims in Gitmo, labeling it's citizens as that don't agree with the government establishment as domestic terrorists)

2) Majority of the Wealth and Property is in the hands of the few(Multi-National Corporations)

3) Decision making is in the hands of the few(Obama's "kill list" assassinating U.S. citizens)

4) Demanding of Patriotism from all citizens.(Anybody that supports the war against terrorist - Say aye...Anybody that opposes the war against terror - Say I hate America)

5) Taxation is pressing heaviest on those less able to pay. Taxation is comparably less on the wealthier.(Schenectady Metroplex)

6) No allowance for questioning authority. No teaching students of critical thinking skills(Public Education/Standardized Testing/No Child Left Behind)

7) Ceremonial congress with no real power(Congress allowing the President to wage wars without a Congressional Declaration)

That is why I am not surprised box a rox would parrot the "official" government's ministry of propaganda identifying "enemies of the state" by calling them "domestic terrorists".

Cicero,
The helicopters are in the air... Should be at your house within 10 minutes.  Put your hands on your head
and no one gets hurt.

The reward is higher if the terrorists are captured alive!  Don't screw this up!

C'mon box, helicopters are sooooo 1990's....We use domestic drones and surveillance cameras nowadays.  Get with the times man.  America doesn't have the highest prison population in the world using outdated technology like helicopters.

You've been on camera since you buddied up with AlQaeda.  I'm sorry but helocopters were good
enough for your hero, Bin Laden... They're good enough for you.

I don't think you can single out any one president or political party for the HUGE spike in prison population.

You can't even keep track of my terrorist buddy list.  It wasn't Bin Laden, it was the American citizen Al Awlaki and his 16 year old son execute by the Obama White House.  C'mon box, keep your false flag operatives in order.

Al Awlaki was the front man for your buddy Bin Laden.  "Communication" with Bin Laden eventually is what killed
him... and what killed your BFFL Al Awalki.  Too much time spent talkin' with his American friends on cell phones
led to his death... so... Maybe it was one of his conversations with you CIC that targeted his vehicle.  Hope so!
It would be ironic if YOU were part of the targeting system that aimed the drones!

The film was 1946, Eisenhower didn't co-opt and blend state and religion until 1954.

You are definitely on their list.

How dare you question authority?

Your keystrokes are being logged at the FBI.

I would imagine everyone's keystrokes are being logged somewhere.

Romney believes the people telling him what to think.

He is so out of touch with reality it ain't funny.
