Now doesn’t that just sound filthy? Wait till you read it.

Lock Up Everybody!

The monstrous cretin who runs America’s “Homeland Security” is now publicly calling for new fascist laws that would make the Bush Administration’s domestic-spying crimes totally legal.

Michael Chertoff — who many say looks just like an undead version of Soviet dictator Vladimir Lenin — says the United States needs more constant surveillance of everybody so he can lock up more “possible terrorists.”

It’s just the latest outrage from an administration desperately trying to turn last week’s phony terrorist scare into justification for more fascist laws before the bogus scare is completely forgotten by Americans.

“It’s not like the 20th century, where you had time to get warrants,” the little totalitarian said Sunday on one of those political talk shows.

“We’ve done a lot in our legal system the last few years, to move in the direction of that kind of efficiency. But we ought to constantly review our legal rules to make sure they’re helping us, not hindering us.”

Chertoff, who presided over the horrific drowning of more than 1,500 citizens in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, is very excited about the opportunity to put anybody in jail for no reason at all.

While the White House and the administration’s henchmen in Congress rush to pass new laws that will make everyone a potential terrorist and Halliburton builds the new concentration camps that will soon hold hundreds of thousands of “political prisoners,” Chertoff is pursuing a two-pronged assault on Americans.

First, his goons at airports around the nation are methodically getting Americans “comfortable” with constant fear, harassment and intimidation. Second, his outrageous public statements are intended as a “trial balloon” to see just how much the White House can get away with.

The lack of outrage over Chertoff’s latest insane proclamations will be used as “proof” that the administration can move ahead with the next phase of canceling the “g-ddamned piece of paper” known as the U.S. Constitution.

Proving the “U.K. terror plot” was manufactured fearmongering, U.S. airports have already been told the “threat level” has been reduced to the usual constant hysteria rather than the top-level hysteria enacted last week.

Also revealed this weekend was the fact that the “U.K. terror plot” was just that: Cops encouraging young Muslims to entertain fantasies of striking back at Britain, not the United States.

Remarkably, it was Chertoff himself who admitted this Sunday on CNN.

This kind of gonzo journalism doesn’t come along very often. When it does, you gotta know who it calls to mind. Not only is it absolutely non-objective, thus allowing it to report the facts and the context as they stand, but it’s also deeply sourced, totally jam-packed with links. This is good work.
