Islamophobia Sweeps Over the Militia \u2013 The Legacy of George W. Bush<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amidst the soup of escalating anti-government distrust and fervor, primarily directed at the Clinton administration, the Right Wing in this country voted for the incredibly wealthy son of an ex-President, due in large part to him successfully masquerading as some \u201cfolksy man of the people\u201d, the \u201ckinda guy you would want to have a beer with\u201d. This East Coast Ivy League elite-bread Yale graduate and Skull and Bones Society Alum bought a ranch in Texas and successfully portrayed himself as the \u201caverage joe\u201d that \u201chates big gub\u2019ment\u201d just like \u201cy\u2019all\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ultimately, the W. legacy would be one of successful transformation of all that \u201canti-politics\u201d style anger, paranoia, hate and fear that had been previously directed at the Clinton administration in the wake of Ruby Ridge and Waco, into a fanatically fevered distrust and hatred for Muslims at home and abroad. And, he managed to do it while also instituting easily one of the greatest manifestations of \u201cbig government\u201d power and overreach the world has or quite possibly will ever see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How did he do it? Well, it starts with actions subsequent to that \u201ccatastrophic and catalyzing event like a new Pearl Harbor\u201d opined on by the Project for a New American Century. The Neocon war-hawk think tank, PNAC, had issued a report in Sept. of 2000 that outlined a strategy for total domination of the Middle East, and by extension the entire global economy, for the sake of Western White Supremacist Imperialist Capitalist interests. The strategy ultimately determined that some otherwise organic but drastic occurrence, or \u201ccatastrophic or catalyzing event\u2019 would have to manifest in order to serve as the sort of triggering mechanism and rhetorical justification for their designs on a massive unprecedented expansion of global power for the Western WSIC Empire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Project for a New American Century: Rebuilding America\u2019s Defenses<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Late in the first year of his otherwise eventless and deeply unpopular first term, the Bush administration, and the world, witnessed the events of 9\/11. The Bush administration response would not only be to implement the bullet points of the middle eastern military domination strategy as outlined by the war-hawks over at the PNAC, but it was to also implement sweepingly oppressive measures here at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To understand much of what made 9\/11 possible, though, we first need to briefly revisit a moment in the Reagan era cold war. During the Reagan years the US had funded, armed and trained the Mujahadeen, and had aligned itself with far-right Afghani religious fundamentalist extremist characters, most notably folks like Osama Bin Laden, in what was essentially a territorial proxy war against the Soviets held in Afghanistan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once these alliances had worn out their usefulness to the US, and the Soviets were essentially \u201cdefeated\u201d there, the US packed up the warship and left a decimated societal infrastructure in its wake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In that wake of post war desperation and rampant societal instability; after being left to fend for themselves in the factionally splintered state of a devastated war zone; having been abandoned to pick up the pieces alone after being ground zero for the sustained brutality of a war fought primarily over foreign interests; radical elements that would use religion as pretext for hate, were able to exploit and further stoke the obvious anti-Amerikkkan sentiments born out of that abandonment, inspiring 19 people to commit the atrocity of terrorist mass murder on 9\/11.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All of this, in concert with countless years of the rampant WSIC raping of middle eastern resources facilitated by numerous other wars and CIA funded black ops, came hurling back at Amerikkka in the form of airplanes hi-jacked by suicidal religious fanatics who had become convinced that the brutal and senseless murder of thousands of innocent people would somehow send a toppling message of righteous indignation to the power that had devastated so many middle eastern lives and communities over decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It did nothing of the sort. It became justification for the further murder of hundreds of thousands, if not millions, as well as justification for the deeply intrusive surveillance of nearly every one left alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Bush administration did three monstrous things in response to 9\/11. Two that would forever change the relationship between government and its citizens domestically, and a third that would wreak untold death and carnage on poor black and brown people all over the middle east. All three of which being deeply tied to and in many cases directly responsible for so many daily horrors experienced by poor and oppressed people in Amerikkka and around the world to this very day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In direct response to 9\/11, the Bush administration rolled out two major pieces of legislation. One that created the USA PATRIOT Act, and another that created the Department of Homeland Security. And, he then used the attack as spurious justification for the fomentation of what we now know to be the Middle Eastern \u201cforever wars\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The USA PATRIOT Act created a monstrous and bloated domestic surveillance state, making possible so much of what Edward Snowden told us about the NSA using every one of our devices to monitor and record our every daily activity. According to US Legal.com it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2026increases the ability of law enforcement agencies to search telephone, e-mail communications, medical, financial, and other records; eases restrictions on foreign intelligence gathering within the United States; expands the Secretary of the Treasury\u2019s authority to regulate financial transactions; and the discretion of law enforcement and immigration authorities in detaining and deporting immigrants suspected <\/em>of terrorism-related acts [emphasis added].<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

What is the Patriot Act?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rampant use of torture on so-called \u201cenemy combatants\u201d also found legal justifications in the wake of this new legislation<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And these<\/a> are but introductory glimpses into the all-encompassing intrusive powers made law by the implementation of the USA PATRIOT Act (a monstrosity that Barack Obama, incidentally, would later unhesitatingly reauthorize).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second monstrosity brought to life in the wake of 9\/11, The Dept of Homeland Security, consolidated under one jurisdiction every facet of Amerikkkan daily life by consolidating literally every facet of the entire Amerikkkan infrastructure, including but not limited to: everything from border security to the nation\u2019s sewer systems and water works; from housing and urban development to legalities in relation to the internet; it brought under one umbrella CIA, NSA and FBI oversight as well as the eventual creation of the Gestapo-esque US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, or ICE; all this and far more came under this one federal umbrella of unfettered power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
