<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I could easily add another vicious rant against
Bush and neocon politics, and why sympathy for this kind of politics is
incompatible with even the lowest definition of transhumanism as I understand
it. Don't bother.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Today, 60 years ago, the death camp of Auschwitz
has been liberated by the Red Army. Industrialized production of death
had been its unbelievable priority. In January and May 1945 the US Army were the
good guys. They liberated my country from the worst nightmare the earth had ever
known. </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2><FONT face=Arial size=2>Six months later,
on August 6th, 1945, with the start of an artificial bird called Enola Gay,
the USA experienced a turning point for they had found an even more
efficient way to produce mega death based on the relations of mass, energy
and light, German scientists had discovered. The list of US war crimes since
that day towards Abu Ghraib and Falluja is long and I guess most of you know the
locations and names. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV></FONT>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>But I don't think it is even necessary at all to
refer to the most horrendous crimes of Nazi Germany and its very special excess
of fascism, national socialism, to find parallels for the disaster, the USA is
already driving towards today. It starts with tiny steps like the one I want to
direct your attention to. Fascism starts with keeping a population in a
permanent state of fear and offering an outlet by producing
an "enemy".</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am convinced, the following link - steaming video
- shows an excellent example of turning a modern society with instant media
access into a totalitary police state.If you should not believe that
this Michigan police video is a veritable step towards fascism, I
guess, any discussion is a waste of time.</FONT></DIV>
