Forum Post: Planning Repression

The Oligarchs are planning something big-but then,we knew that,right?It is very revealing that John Negroponte has immediately come out on the record to condemn the Snowden leak.John Negroponte is the go-to guy for any embattled group of Oligarchs who need to gain control over a restless citizenry.He knows that in order to conduct a successful repression,vast quantities of information ABOUT INDIVIDUALS is essential-to the point that people wishing to perpetrate a General Repression within a country or region COULD NEVER HAVE TOO MUCH INFORMATION ABOUT THE TARGETS.People like Negroponte have refined the procedures used in repression-in Argentina-in Chile-in Guatemala-and they have made a study of totalitarian crack-downs as well.They know:how many have to be killed by death squads,bodies found immediately;how many have to be killed by death squads,bodies found later;how many have to be killed by death squads,bodies never found;how many must be held in camps and tortured,then released;how many killers and torturers will be needed,immediately,mid-term and long term for the repression.Massive amounts of information would be needed to identify the victims and also to find people who will carry out the orders.They probably don't want reluctant people on their death squads,just like they don't want people contaminated by education doing Ed Snowden's job.They may have thought people like Ed Snowden can't figure out what they are doing.Only The People United can thwart these nefarious plans-there can be no doubt that this information-gathering is a sign that the Oligarchs are doing their homework.Their situation grows shakier every day,and The Bigger They Are-The Harder They Fall.The resounding Splat when the Oligarchs fall is a sound I look forward to hearing...
