National Security
By Kojikun
THE CAPITAL (CI News) - In a nation racked by fear, people look to the government to help prevent the evils which loom among us. We ask them, nay, beg them, to do something about the problems, to boost security, and to make the country safe again so we don't fear. Well finally they've done something, finally they're going to look for middle eastern people who might be out to hurt and harm us. They're going to set up a branch of the government to take reports from a large portion of the populus so they may find possible traitors and unpatriots or their sympathisers. Many people think this is a bad idea, but people I've spoken to seem to think it's great.
"If it saves one life, investigating and rounding up thousands of people is fine with me," says a friend of the family, "Even if it's invasive it'll still save lives and prevent people from coming to harm.
Personally, I think that this war has made people overly hyped and worried about things which don't exist. The countries had economic problems and quite a few scares (some big ones), but this doesn't mean we need to go around pointing fingers at these people because of their religion or where they're from and accusing them of ruining our perfect little country.
Feedback is always welcome.

A pseudo-report from Berlin, Germany, 1933, highlighting the new Gestapo and its purpose during the Nazi Party's domination of German politics. If you thought this was an article about the USA you would be CORRECT, because a new government program will ENLIST over 25% of the citizens in the USA as informants to report possible terrorists and anti-Americans.
DON'T LET THE US BECOME NAZI GERMANY!! FIGHT THE FASCIST TOTALITARIANS!!

I was on yahoo earlier and read something horrifying. The US government is trying to make it legal to use the MILITARY as LAW ENFORCEMENT.
