... (of the Indonesian Army) kidnapped and murdered six Indonesian generals. The soldier claimed he carried out this attack to prevent the generals taking over the country in a CIA sponsored coup. In the confusion that followed these murders, General Suharto and his army blamed the Indonesian Communist Party, and mounted a coup to get rid of Prime Minister Sukarno. The CIA had got what they wanted and Sukarno was driven from power. After the coup, the CIA worked together with the generals to ensure every single communist in Indonesia was killed."

Author of "Killing Hope," William Blum: They (the CIA) gave the government of Indonesia a list of citizens who were communists, and this list was used by the government after the coup to start a massacre, a massacre which took the lives of between a half a million and a million people.

Note: The narrative text I've borrowed from this video begins at 2:15.

And finally, my question(s): Given the direction our nation is headed, do you believe it's only a question of time before our own government begins actively working such a list of its own U.S. citizens who will be labeled "domestic terrorists" and/or "enemies of the State," and placing these citizens in what amount to concentration/death camps?

And secondly, if so, do you believe this will occur sooner than later -- say within the next five years?

"Part of the problem of the progressive left is that we have fragmented into dozens of organizations, each of which must struggle for funds and email addresses and all the rest. We need to fold ourselves back into the Democratic Party and thoroughly invigorate it. Do not worry that we will cause the Party to marginalize itself. If the Party can base its actions on good science, effective governance, and efficient delivery of the programs the people need, it will prosper across all the left and all the middle of the American political spectrum. But by splitting ourselves off into all these good government organizations we have left the party to the selfish elites, and they don't know how to serve the people or the truth, and that means they do not know how to win." --Doris "Granny D" Haddock
