New Cold War or World War III - Part 2
Upping the levels of rhetoric and propaganda: Part 2 - from The Observer
However, it may be that a fuse has been lit. 'The nightmare scenario is war in Gaza, widespread war against the Israelis in Lebanon and between factions, Syria and Iran being dragged into the conflict and a steady escalation from there to who knows where, widespread conflict, oil prices through the ceiling, bombs going off all over the place' said the diplomat. 'You don't usually see the nightmare scenario evolve in the Middle East but, if it does, we are all in deep, deep trouble.'Indeed - the main feature of any Cold War is the repeated escaltion of conflicts by proxy agents which increase the levels of paranoia for everyone.
The threat of a real "shooting war" is enough to justify increased surveillance, cointelpro and other activities designed to fight the "Enemy Within" on the "Home Front".
All this increased surveillance and monitoring of citizens leads me inexorably to conclude: that:
When everyone is perpetually watched to see if they are a potential security threat then everyone is a potential security threat.and that -
We are all 'the enemy" now.
