Bush going to NORTHCOM... The pieces are falling into place...

Later Friday, Bush was expected to monitor Rita's approach from the U.S. Northern Command in Colorado Springs, Colo. "Officials at every level of government are preparing for the worst," he said.

as i posted yesterday and the day before...
bush's strategy is to MAKE the military the "institution of our government 'most capable' of massive logistical operations" and to position that same military for use domestically... why...? think a minute... bush is the commander-in-chief of the military... when he issues orders, they are bound by oath to obey... let's pose a very plausible scenario, taken from today's headlines... hurricane rita slams into texas, laying waste and straining all available resources past the breaking point... chaos reigns... bush declares martial law and orders in the military, extending what has already happened in new orleans and establishing yet another precedent in the bargain... absolute power...

here's where bush will be hanging out in colorado springs... (my former hometown, since disowned...)
NORTHCOM has worked closely with U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM), as well as the secret branches of non-military agencies and departments to enforce "unity of command" over any post 9/11 efforts. [...] It allows for emergency military operations in the United States without civilian supervision or control.
