The more vile they become, the more power they'll need to keep the rest of us in line. The midnight knock on the door, arrest without constitutional protection and indeterminate detentions without civil recourse will be cornerstones of control - as in all totalitarian cultures.

The incentive is to ever higher brutality. You're right, LearsFool. This is what happened in Germany ... The German evil ones used 'economic stuff' to hang their thuggery on..

We're the new Jews.
