The Doomsday Project, Deep Events, and the Shrinking of American Democracy

It seems that I derive most of my postings from global research, which is a Canadian Web Site. The people who run that site make such an enormous effort to bring us all the news in our world, that I really have little choice in the matter: Here I go again: Professor Peter Dale Scott is this time quoting Senator Frank Church in a speech from 1975: "I know the capacity that is there to make tyranny total in America, and we must see to it that the National Security Agency, and all agencies that possess this technology operate within the law and under proper supervision, so that we never cross over that abyss: That is the abyss from which there is no return." As my wonderful black medic from my advisory team north of Kontum in Vietnam would have said: "Right On!". In recent years Peter Dale Scott has become more and more concerned with the interactions between three important and alarming trends in American history: The first is America's increasing militarization and above all its inclination, even obsession, to involve itself in needless and pernicious (harmful) wars. The second, closely related, is the progressive shrinking of public politics and the rule of law as they are subordinated, even domestically, to the requirements of covert US operations abroad. The third, also closely related, is the important and increasingly deleterious impact on American history and the global extension of American power, of what I have called "deep" events. These events, like the JFK assassination, the Water- gate break-in, or 9/11, which repeatedly involve law-breaking or violence, are mysterious to begin with, are embedded in ongoing covert processes, have consequences that enlarge covert government, and are subsequently covered up by systematic falsifications in media and internal government records. One factor linking Dallas, Watergate, and 9/11, has been the involvement in all three deep events of personnel involved in America's highest level emergency planning, known since the 1980's as Continuity of Government (COG) planning, or more colloquially as "the Doomsday Project." The implementation of COG plans on 9/11, or what I call Doomsday Power, was the culmination of three decades of such planning, and has resulted in the "permanent militarization" of the United States, and the imposition at home of institutions and processes designed for domination abroad: Writing about these events as they occurred over the decades, I have been interested in the interrelations among them. It is now possible to show how each was related both to those preceding it, and to those which followed.
