A rushed TARP was forced on banks and people against our will, and secretly done behind closed doors.

A rushed Nationalization of banks and companies was forced on us against our will, and was done overnight or on weekends.

A rushed set of 'Stimulus Plans' - Secret meetings were held behind closed doors to rob taxpayers of huge sums of money to buyout politicians and reward political friends.

A new rushed tax plan to replace the (just now) upside down Social Security piggy bank, disguised as a 'Health Care Plan' against the will of the people.

All this is rushed and against the will of the people, and if the motions of a vote are need, politicians are strong-armed into falling in line.

I'm sure you can think of other events against the will of the people and pushed on our backs.

DID WE JUST BECOME A DICTATORSHIP OVERNIGHT?!?!?!?!?!?!

we haven't had a choice for a long time, because what you think are choices are just options given to you. tptb know that no matter what the people want they are going to do exactly what they want. we get the illusion of choice and that is all. a good analogy:

here is your choice:
death by hanging?
or
death by firing squad?

what they get is still your death.

As a law abiding citizen that has been involved in my country and political process, as a father and husband and farmer and just regular hard working Joe, I am terribly dissappointed and very, very frustrated at what Congress and our President are doing.

Yes, we are on the verge of totalitarian dictatorship... Taxation without Representation. I have to weigh my words here and now, as one day they may be used against me... will I give the Feds reason to use them against me?

As usual, I want to pursue the normal, lawful, and Constitutional steps to achieve change and protect my rights. However, if the current situation continues to deteriorate, I have to ask myself...

What will I do next? What will my next step be? What would I risk to do mypart in re-establishing the America I grew up in? How far would I go, what deeds would I do... to do what I believe is right?

Imagine if you will, that it is the same moment for us, that some colonist farmer/tradesmanexperienced some 230 years ago. We have protested...civily. We have written letters, posted hand bills and signs and placards. We have contacted the government. We have done all we can lawfully do...and yet THEY WILL NOT LISTEN. They...the government WILL DO WHAT IT WANTS, irregardless of what the people say.

So now, we find ourselves in the tavern...with our fellow belligerant citizens, ... frustrated, angry, scared, weighing our homes, our futures, our families...against what we know in our hearts is right. We hear the distant approaching snare drums...the fifes... the sound of men marching in order. The time to respond is quickly upon us.....

What will we do? What will you do? What will I do?

Some will say Nothing. Some will say there is nothing we can do, or that we dare not do. I say I WILL... the question is, Will You Do,Too?

OP - while you kind of messed up the details, the heart of what you are saying is correct.

However, the govt is controlled by powerful interests - CIA, Mossad/Israel, military industry and BANKS - mainly banks, but the pharma, insurance and other corporate powers also have their say.

The only people who don't have a say comprise 99% of the population - the common people - basically because you don't have any money.

The mass media is completely under control of those interests, they support the wars to support the military industry, Israel, CIA and Mossad - and they will give the corporate lies at all times.

The television is TOTAL lies - none of it is true or useful to you. If you want information - go to the Information Clearing House website, and RT (Russia Today - on the net, but a also a TV station) - these are probably the two best sites currently available - but they could also get taken over, so remain skeptical and use a wide ranger of sources.

America is not a dictatorship - the president is irrelevant, he does what his handlers tell him.

You now live in a fascist state - where corporations and the controllers of them dictate state policy.

It is highly unlikely that it can be attacked through the voting system, or legal systems - as they own both of them. You will not be able top attack through mass media - because that is also owned.

The only way to attack - is to do so directly - through civil disobedience.

Don't pay tax.

Move out of the city and capture your own water, grow your own food.

Get as big a loan as possible from the banks, buy gold, then default and don't ever repay it.

Don't use the TV - get your info from the net.

Don't put any money into a corporation - buy local food, local products at small shops - boycott every corporation.

Join a militia, and contact other militia's.

If you can find enough armed people - go armed to the capitol and demand they get out now - you will need lots of people, but I think 10,000 or more armed would do the trick - thats not a very large percentage really.

There's no accountability anymore. They are threatening to pass other bills using the "slaughter rule" and deem and pass (demon pass). lol

And from our president.
"The vote that's taken in the House will be a vote for health-care reform." We shouldn't, he added, concern ourselves with "the procedural issues."

I don't care what side of the table your on, that's pretty messed up.

So what is it now?... LEGISLATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION

LEGISLATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION - Yep you're right!

Money talks, read David Sirota's "Hostile Takeover"

No, our government has not been run for the people and by the people for a long time now.

Corporations are the strongest lobbyists in DC and they are making the rules at the common man's expense in the name of corporate profit.

This is what happens when corporations are not regulated but people are afraid of "regulations" and now it has come down to the corporations making the laws are regulating the people down to when you will be able to take a frap.

The foxes have been let loose in the hen house for far too long and the farmers remain asleep.

Well, it's like this... If you have to ask the question, then chances are you already know the answer. As others have already mentioned, we've been on the slippery slope toward dictatorship for nearly 2 decades. What we are witnessing right now in the US happened in Venezuela about 10 years ago and we see where they are today.

JFK was the last elected POTUS.

After him they realized that puppets worked far better. People will believe anything you spoon feed them.

Yes, you are in a dictatorship, along with the rest of the world at the moment. Who is in control?

The international society of Bankers and Financiers..
