Paul Craig Roberts, the architect of "Reaganomics" and former Assistant Secretary of the Treasury during the Reagan administration said this week the united States is on the cusp of ending the Constitutional Democracy. Roberts' comments came in an interview, which can be heard here, during a discussion of an executive order signed by George Bush on July 17, providing sanctions against anyone posing a threat to "(i) to have committed, or to pose a significant risk of committing, an act or acts of violence that have the purpose or effect of:
(A) threatening the peace or stability of Iraq or the Government of Iraq; or
(B) undermining efforts to promote economic reconstruction and political reform in Iraq or to provide humanitarian assistance to the Iraqi people;"
THE ENTIRE ORDER CAN BE FOUND HERE.
In wading through this order, please keep in mind that the president is circumventing legislative and judicial oversight, as well as the system of checks and balances. In effect, it nullifies the Fifth Amendment protections on Due Process.
Even more troubling is that fact that as this order is written, anyone who contributes to a political party whose leadership advocates ending U.S. involvement in Iraq, could suffer the loss of their home, property, bank accounts, IRAs, stocks, bonds and other real assets.
Next up: nice brown uniforms for the Young Republican clubs in high schools.
