I know, I sound paranoid. I sound like a conspiracy mutt, er..nut. I know much of what I write is interesting only to me and maybe a fringe element of the fringe element...small in numbers but huge in political suspicion.

The new 'Bird Flu Plan of the Bush Administration has me frightened as I can be.

This 'plan' is a model on how to impose strict totalitarian rule on an unsuspecting public. Right down the line, it outlines every step necessary to impose tyranny and maintain it.

• Although the local police and law enforcement will have primary duty, the U.S. Military will be on hand to support. In other words, Martial Law.

• People should prepare for shortages of food, water, gasoline, and electricity. Not only will there be rationing due to flu outbreak, but because there will be genuine shortages of these items due to the political failures of our leadership. We are reaching the end of the Fossil Fuel World and have nothing to replace it. There will be massive shortages and loss of life because the U.S. political parties refuse to shift to alternative energy sources. The 'Bird flu' is a convienent coverup for these failures.

• People will be discourged from having face to face conversations. No hand shaking, no physical contact. People will keep distance from each other. What better way to keep a rebellion from forming?

• Public Meetings will be cancelled or curtailed. NO public gatherings may be allowed. There will be curfews to prevent gatherings in the evenings. If we as citizens cannot gather we cannot have political power. There are only two ways to influence policy in this country, either by voting (that is if the votes are honestly counted) or by massive marching in the streets in protest. They have already corrupted the voting process and disrupting mass protests in next. I know, you will probably say, "But we influenced the power cartel by our internet gathering. Look at Moveon.org and others. WE have great power on the internet." Do you? Really? If you cannot vote and you cannot physically march, then what power do you really have? None.

• The public will be quarantined if 'Bird Flu' is suspected. The Federal Government has already built 'camps' to put refugee's and others that warrant exclusion from the public. Great way to control angry citizens, put them in camps for re-education. This is a popular and effective move by all totalitarian governments.

• New ID cards so that closer identification of individuals is possible.

• Travel, both domestically and internationally will be restricted.

Bird Flu vaccines will be available in a priority basis. That is, the wealthy and powerful get theirs, then the medical, police, and military, then the weak and elderly, then the rest. Those most able to oppose the Political corruption will be denied vaccines until it is too late.

These and many more details are evolving to support the contention that Bird Flu Planning is really nothing more than the imposition of totalitarian rule on America.

Ask yourself this question: Has the 'Bird Flu' ever impacted any country to the level that this type of 'plan' is necessary? A few people get sick, a few people die. But it is less than a handful. What indications are there that this bird flu is any more virulent or dangerous than any other type of flu floating about?

Lets be clear on something. I do think a pandemic is likely at some point. Humanity has screwed up the natural processes of this planet too much and has created disease pathways that link all nations and all people. So that a disase in Zimbabwe is easily tranported to New York. Plus there are far too many humans on this planet, too crowded, too poor, too lacking in basic sanitary practices, too lacking in adequate nutrition, clean water, and medical care. We are ripe for the disease vectors to take control.

BUT, is this Bird Flu the pandemic? Not so far. Could it be? Yup. But, if you want to look at real versus perceieved or potential threats to America, Bird Flu itself is low on the list. What is right there at the top of the list for threats to America and American Citizens is the political party in control, the Evangelical Conservative Republicans. There is clear and unmistakable signs that the powerful Conservative Republicans, led by the little tin god Bush, are deeply committed to imposing their version of reality on this country. They want to rule, and they want their peculiar reality as the only reality of the land.

They will stop at nothing to create a theocratic fascist state in America and this Bird Flu response plan appears to be a well thought out machination to lock down the nation for this purpose. The Bushites and their ilk have gone too far, broken too many laws, corrupted too many elections to stop now. Complete and supreme power over America is their goal, and this new Bird Flu Plan is ideal to impose martial law under the guise of public health.
