Let's Review: Fascist America, In 10 Easy Steps

Given the political and governmental situation in the United States, let's review Naomi Wolfe's Countdown to Fascism in America, which originally appeared in The Guardian, a non-U.S.-based publication.

1. Invoke a terrifying internal and external enemy
2. Create a gulag
3. Develop a thug caste
4. Set up an internal surveillance system
5. Harass citizens' groups
6. Engage in arbitrary detention and release
7. Target key individuals
8. Control the press
9. Dissent equals treason
10. Suspend the rule of law

We are well on our way to ruin.

I urge each and every one of you to read, and comprehend, this article -- and the implications.

Wake up, America. You are being screwed.
