In case you thought my Friday article Could 2004 be our last election? was just alarmist or paranoid, check this AP news report:

The government needs to establish guidelines for canceling or rescheduling elections if terrorists strike the United States again, says the chairman of a new federal voting commission.

Such guidelines do not currently exist, said DeForest B. Soaries, head of the voting panel.

Soaries was appointed to the federal Election Assistance Commission last year by President Bush. Soaries said he wrote to National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice and Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge in April to raise the concerns.

The use of fear of dangers, whether real, imagined, or fabricated, has long been the means for enslaving populations. Ever since the collapse of the Soviet Union, effectively eliminating our last major enemy, our government has repeatedly taken actions that have created replacement enemies. If you believe it can't happen in America... think again.
