“America's security policy is changing into a form of fascism, with potential for more extreme political upheaval in the near future”
By process of incrementalism changes are being made in the political landscape that are not as noticeable over time by the general public. These changes, if done in short order, would elicit a powerful response from the public, but when applied over multiple generations go unnoticed.
The changes revolve around a centralization of power and finance combined with the use of high technology for monitoring and control.
One key indicator is the secrecy with which such technology is implemented without oversight, that is to say, no one knows about what is being done or has any say in whether it should or should not be done.
. . .
With so called good intentions Americans are being played against one another politically, racially, religiously, and culturally within a climate of fear to allow the creation of the most advanced social control system ever engineered in the history of the world.

The following sources are clear evidence that our security needs are paving the way for a fascist control system that dwarfs anything even conceived by tyrants of the 20 th century :
Unmarked, heavily armed, military style police forces are executing assault style approaches and patrols of random locations for the purpose of intimidation. If this wasn't enough, intelligence agents monitor crowd and public responses for anything ‘unusual' in citizen response http://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/military_law/2818211.html
Director of the Central Intelligence Agency challenges a reporter, claiming that there is no such thing as or need for “probable cause” in the 4 th amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The Bill of Rights explicitly demands warrants for searches must have “probably cause”. http://youtube.com/watch?v=cGhcECnWRGM
Houston police are testing unmanned drone aircraft with advanced surveillance capabilities for monitoring and tracking people. The tests were done is secret at a remote location but were uncovered by a local investigative news crew. The ability to observe vehicle interiors as well as homes may violate 4 th amendnment reasonable search and probably cause measures. http://www.click2houston.com/investigates/14659066/detail.html
Investigative arms of the U.S. Government have used, and are using, cell phones to monitor conversations and activities EVEN WHEN PHONES ARE TURNED OFF. Supercomputers can filter millions of simultaneous conversations tracking key individuals as well as alerting authorities to certain patterns or words. http://youtube.com/watch?v=0G1fNjK9SXg also available at
The FBI is spending billions on the largest information database yet assembled – on American citizens. http://rawstory.com/news/2007/CNN_analyst_wary_of_FBI_biometric_1224.html or

Firefighter and Emergency Medical Services personnel are being trained as eyes and ears of government to circumvent 4 th amendment requirements for warranted searches; in particular they are looking for anything suspicious, maps, sparse furnishing, manuals, outdoor equipment, umarked boxes, and an interest or possession of guns or ammunition. http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2007/11/24/america/NA-GEN-US-Firefighters-Terrorists.php?page=1
Governments have already begun the use of tracking chip implants to monitor population movement and activity. http://www.newkerala.com/one.php?action=fullnews&id=7896
Secret surveillance programs are immune from oversight by the public, congress or the courts according to the “State Secrets Doctrine” http://www.foxnews.com/printer_friendly_story/0,3566,312843,00.html
While the extent of such practice is unknown in the U.S. (see above link), in Britain all phone conversation and emails are logged and recorded for a minimum of one year. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7021647.stm
Shadow intelligence and warfare research program, DARPA, is initiating a program called LifeLog, which will collect every available bit of data including recordings, biometrics, photos, video, purchases, emails, calls, relationships, travel, etc on every person in the United States from their entire life. http://www.wired.com/techbiz/media/news/2003/05/58909
Millions upon millions of people will be tracked real time by possession of cellular phones within 5 years http://www.theinquirer.net/gb/inquirer/news/2007/12/13/big-brother-henchmen-mobile
Combination surveillance/IT software such as IBM's S3 program are in use and scheduled for domestic expansion. These systems monitor masses, scan for patterns, track individuals, monitor all activity, writings and voices. http://www.allheadlinenews.com/articles/7009416793
Similar, less advanced IP systems with internet access for administrators and officials are being used in the schools with the eventual goal of achieving 100% campus coverage. This has the effect of desensitizing school age children to the presence of cameras and the specter of constant observation by . . . whoever has access, worldwide. This assertion is based on activities in my own school district http://www.buncombe.k12.nc.us/96510523162551530/lib/96510523162551530/BCS_Tech_Plan.pdf
Reading material selected and apparent interests at magazine racks is subject to observation and analysis via remote sensing. http://www.abc15.com/content/news/webxtra/story.aspx?content_id=272a71b7-1758-4fe9-a112-97a141760e76
News outlets in the U.S. have been used to propagate false information related to security under the guise of news as reported in Britain http://news.independent.co.uk/world/americas/article621189.ece
Future emergency evacuees are slated to be tagged with wristbands and other tracking devices for efficiency and ‘safety' http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/metropolitan/5380868.html
Mobile Biometrics laboratories with database programs are being used in Iraq to determine whether suspects are to be released, held, or executed on sight. http://www.consortiumnews.com/2007/121307.html
Where bans on regular weapons have been implemented with no real effect other than disarming the lawful populace, increasing regulations have outlawed such things as kitchen knives, swords, and even imitation samurai swords, effectively neutralizing a people's ability to resist unwelcome or hostile political change. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/7139724.stm
A global education initiative calls for psychiatrists, police members, child specialists in every classroom, lessening the role of parents and free information instruction while increasing the role played by the government in raising, educating, or indoctrinating children. Those who do not conform adequately will be medicated to ease their adjustment. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=501096&in_page_id=1770
Alert, long time members of the political sphere who have voiced concerns about such developments are censored and excluded in corporate, mainstream media of ‘both' political persuasions http://www.nolanchart.com/article490.html
If a person of interest does not have a cell phone, courts have granted unlimited use of GPS tracking systems on vehicles for police monitoring. This is basically irrelevant with the commonality of cell phone use today and the use of such devices for locating, even when location is turned OFF http://infowars.com/articles/bb/gps_court_allows_unlimited_police_plant_gps_on_vehicles.htm
Voting machines used in the American political system have eliminated paper trails, affording the possibility that votes could be rigged or hijacked by a person or company with necessary access. The problem was so bad in Ohio that when reviewed machines were pulled ahead of the coming presidential election. Most states do not have the funds to revamp, fix, or replace machines in time. http://rawstory.com/news/2007/Report_Ohio_voting_machines_have_critical_1215.html

A poice chief in Britain has publicly warned that the creation of an Orwellian, 1984 style, control system is underway. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/6673579.stm
The above list is a compilation of a variety of news and media sources to demonstrate the inherent lack of political bias of the issue at large.
CLOSING QUOTES and SOURCES of information
“In a police state the police are national, powerful, authoritarian. Inevitably, national governments yield to the temptation to use the military to do the heavy lifting….once the military is used, however minor initially, the march toward martial law … becomes irresistible.” - Representative Ron Paul of Texas - June 25 1997.
“We have lost our way as a nation, we have lost our understanding of the constitution, we have lost our confidence in freedom.” Representative Ron Paul, R-TX
“The technological capacity that the intelligence has given the US government could enable it to impose total tyranny.”
- ECHELON global surveillance report by the NSA
"I have sworn upon the altar of God eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man."
--Thomas Jefferson
"Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add "within the limits of the law" because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual." - Thomas Jefferson
“Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect every one who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are inevitably ruined.” — Patrick Henry
