Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause - The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial , ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc. 4.

POPS"Missing" Nukes? Two years ago, six nuclear armed weapons were attached to the wings of a B-52 bomber and flown from North Dakota to Barksdale, the USAF staging base for Middle East operations. This took place in contradiction to all laws and all military procedures. Military experts could not recall a single incident of this kind ever taking place.

POPSObama Inauguration to Include Terrorism Propaganda
The visual props supporting a "threat of terrorism" will dominate the inaugural scene, and is very deliberate in its real purpose which is to frame the context of Obama's presidency in the public mind . It is pure propaganda designed to gain the public's submission and the American people, as under George W. Bush after 9/11, are being manipulated. head of the US Northern Command--"(It's) not because we see a specific threat This hyper-paranoid prep is really propaganda for setting the stage in the public mind that "we are under constant threat of terrorist attack" which is to CONTINUE (not change) the same foreign policy war and Homeland Security domestic agendas. The Constitution, which he will be swearing to uphold, will be drown out by this, and shouted down, as the continued plea of Emergency Powers is invoked to nullify its articles and leave the government unrestrained and headed by another Unitary Executive with his rubber stamp Congress.
