We knew it was coming. A Berlin stlye wall between the US/Mexican border. This wall troubles me even more than the detention centers and biometric ID cards Bush spoke of in his speech last night. Here's why.
There are some famous walls in history, most notably Hadrians wall, Great Wall of China and the Berlin Wall.
Most people think that when the Berlin wall came down in 1989, it was because the East Germans were free. And admittadly they were "more free" than what they were in 1961 went it first went up. However by the time the wall came down in 1989, the West Germans were considerably less free than what they were in 1961.
Through licensing, permits, regulations, etc, West Germany in 1989 looked alot more like East Germany did in 1961. Not exactly like it, but close enough to tear down the wall.
In otherwords, the Berlin Wall didn't come down because the people in the east were free. It came down because the people in the west were sufficiently controlled enough through licensing, permits, regulations, etc, that there was no need for a wall anymore.
West Germany and East Germany were enough alike by 1989, there was no longer a need for a wall to separate the slaves from the east from the slaves of the west!
I realize that a hard pill for some people to swallow. While I can't document this supposition with hard facts, I believe this to be the truth of the matter as far as the REAL reason the Berlin wall came down.
With this thought in mind, the problem with walls is that while they can keep some people OUT of a place, they can also keep other people IN a place. This is just speculation, but could it be that the REAL REASON for this new wall is to keep Americans from fleeing to Mexico once the Police State America kicks in full force?
Once Martial Law is declared in America (which it will be after the next 9/11 or two) can anyone picture people wanting to cross the border INTO Mexico to escape the American Police State that IS coming? Could the real reason for this wall be to prevent this from happening? Any thoughts?
