1. Invoke a terrifying internal and external enemy (bad economy and terrorism)
2. Create a gulag (Guantanamo and others)
3. Develop a thug caste (Blackwater)
4. Set up an internal surveillance system (telecoms spy on you today)
5. Harass citizens' groups (at RNC and others)
6. Engage in arbitrary detention and release (no-fly list has YOUR name on it)
7. Target key individuals (Michael Moore has had a move made AGAINST him)
8. Control the press (Palin calls for censorship this week)
9. Dissent equals treason (go to freerepublic. com to see proof)
10. Suspend the rule of law (this happens everyday, with Bush, Cheney, Palin)
