-Caveat Lector- Response to. : FBI's "Project Megiddo" Report. From: Norm Olson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> After reviewing the report and discussing its overall mood and tenor with associates, I have come to the conclusion that it is a poorly written, subjective, provoking propaganda tool. It draws on rumors, fears, and stereotypical image casting. In short, it is the same old ploy used for thousands of years. What the report did accomplish is to give great credence to the method of deception being employed by the regime in Washington. It is more evidence of the central government's effort to sow the seeds of division and conflict. For many years now the FBI and CIA have engaged in the menacing practice of provocateur activities, pitting one side against the other. Add to that the constant effort to create a "public consent" that will justify the "extreme measures" used against target groups and one comes to the conclusion that only the mentally challenged will react to the report with undue fear. We who see AND PREDICT such psychological tactics have the opportunity of adapting to them. The FBI has given us greater insight into it's short-range and long-range plans. The cordial "sit downs" that the FBI has staged with militia groups over the past few years, coupled with the "can't we all just get along" attitude of moderate militia and patriot leaders, has nearly lulled us into a state of fatal complacency. DON'T BE FOOLED. The tyrant will see any congeniality, computation, or compromise as a sign of weakness. IF we show it at all, it ought to be used to disrupt our opponent rather than reveal our true nature. PATRIOT/MILITIA across this great land: Stand firm and do not be shaken. Our trust is in our Great Commander and our cause is righteous. The enemy has revealed a weakness by resorting to propaganda such as the Project Megiddo Report to manufacture a negative public consciousness against us. Their method is old, worn, and clearly apparent.

He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance. He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies, without the consent of our legislatures. He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power. He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation.... -The Declaration of Independence ********************************************************** [EMAIL PROTECTED] The Patriot Resource Center: http://www.geocities.com/CapitolHill/6627/ **********************Live Free or Die!**********************<>< DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.
