More From Douglas MacArthur

Our government has kept us in a perpetual state of fear - kept us in a continuous stampede of patriotic fervor - with the cry of grave national emergency. always there has been some terrible evil at home or some monstrous foreign power that was going to gobble us up if we did not blindly rally behind it by furnishing the exorbitant funds demanded. yet, in retrospect, these disasters seem never to have happened, seem never to have been quite real.

Emergency does not increase granted power or remove or diminish the restrictions imposed upon power granted or reserved. the constitution was adopted in a period of grave emergency. its grants of power to the federal government and its limitations of the power of the states were determined in the light of emergency, and they are not altered by emergency.

I'm always on the road, and i drive rental cars. sometimes i don't know what's going on with the car, and i'll drive for ten miles with the emergency brake on. that doesn't say a lot for me, but it doesn't say a lot for the emergency brake. what kind of emergency is this? i need to not stop now. it's not really an emergency brake, it's an emergency make-the-car-smell-funny lever.

Consistent with section 202(d) of the national emergencies act, 50 u.s.c. 1622(d), i am continuing for 1 year the national emergency previously declared on september 14, 2001, in proclamation 7463, with respect to the terrorist attacks of september 11, 2001, and the continuing and immediate threat of further attacks on the united states. because the terrorist threat continues, the national emergency declared on september 14, 2001, and the powers and authorities adopted to deal with that emergency must continue in effect beyond september 14, 2010.

We fear the past, present and future. we fear the unknown, we fear not having enough, losing what we have, not having what we want. we fear what will become of us and those that we care for. we fear what others think of us and what they don't think of us. we fear, fear, fear and therefore we are controllable through the manipulation of all that we fear. the present war on terror is the war of fear. no fear, no control.
War Thinking Past
Every collectivist revolution rides in on a trojan horse of "emergency". it was the tactic of lenin, hitler, and mussolini. in the collectivist sweep over a dozen minor countries of europe, it was the cry of men striving to get on horseback. and "emergency" became the justification of the subsequent steps. this technique of creating emergency is the greatest achievement that demagoguery attains.

The dark aftermath of the frontier, of the vast promise of possibility this country first offered, is an inflated sense of american entitlement today. we want what we want, and we want it now. easy credit. fast food. a straight shot down the interstate from point a to point b. the endless highway is crowded with the kinds of cars large enough to take a mountain pass in high snow. instead they are used to take children from soccer practice to pizza hut. in the process they burn fuel like there's no tomorrow. tomorrow's coming.
