but it is happening already, Naomi
Naomi Wolf said:
How very wonderful for Naomi Wolf, that in her world, the first arrest hasn't happened yet. It is happening now, it has happened already, for those fringe groups in society.
Just because the New York Times has been a shill for the 5th Estate, doesn't mean it won't reach them, too. Even the Sonderkommandos, were only buying a respite before they too were murdered by the Nazis.
My question to those that smite scapegoat groups, has long been this: "What is the critical mass necessary to escape persecution?"
Blacks at 11.5% of the population, arguably now have a right to exist. The gay and lesbian community is just over 5% of the general population, but until the US Supreme Court's LAWRENCE V. TEXAS decision, Pat Robertson was working toward a "Final Solution" to that "problem".
Since my area field and discipline is studying child porn, I can tell you this about that war: It is fought the same way they fight all wars. There is a kernel of truth to the initial accusation: child abuse within the world of child pornography. There are some victims. Some children have been raped. Some have been kidnapped. Not very many, though. They are by far the exceptions. There are pictures of children being raped. Some pictures show children tied up, some show hot candle wax dripped on them.
Opponents of child porn have taken those ugly extremes and painted everything else with that same very broad brush. But here's what they do, and they will wage war this same way, against everything: They go to the farthest extreme. By attacking child modeling as pornography, then everything in between is a slam dunk case.
Anyone who expects the war upon their particular social strata to go any differently, doesn't yet get it. Targeting won't be reasonable. It will go way beyond the pale. The Nazis deliberately targeted those of ancestors with even the smallest percentage of Jewish blood. Everything in between then became a slam dunk.
It works the same with the war on drugs. I remember this not long ago:
Surely you are starting to see things like far more people being Tasered, usually merely because of attitude. Targeting, goes way over-the-top, way to the extremes, not by mistake, but by design. If it has to pull back, because of the courts or public outcry, then it at least drops back to a lesser extreme than it had been, but not to where it would have to, if it had only sought "reasonable" targets in the first place.
As with child pornography, government sets up a huge police machine and ancillary hysterical non-governmental base (in this case, known as the sex abuse industry), to fight their target, and even after they achieve their goals, they still continue to expand and they still grow their budgets. So they constantly have to identify new demons. Most of that "child pornography" which appears to be available on the Web, is simply decoy sites, established to give that appearance and to deceive the public into believing that there is a problem. That's how it works.
When they eventually get to your race, creed, ethnicity or social stratum, they will have started with some small kernel of truth as their pretext. They will then paint using that, with a very broad brush and sweep everything and everyone else up with it. That's how it's done.

[A]fter the first arrest, it generally goes in one direction, and according to the blueprint, the time has come for those first arrests. We're having this conversation now, before these arrests. But if tomorrow you read in the New York Times or the Washington Post that New York Times editor Bill Keller has been arrested, the staff will all be scared, others will get scared. And people don't are understand that that's how democracy closes down. And when that happens first, it's the tipping point at which we think it's still a democracy."

It works the same with the war on drugs. I remember this not long ago:
Safford Middle School officials did not violate the civil rights of a 13-year-old Safford girl when they forced her to disrobe and expose her breasts and pubic area four years ago while looking for a drug, according to the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruling.
The justices voted 2-1 in favor of the Safford School District on Sept. 21. The decision upheld a federal district court's summary judgement that Safford Middle School Vice Principal Kerry Wilson, school nurse Peggy Schwallier and administrative assistant Helen Romero did not violate the girl's Fourth Amendment rights on Oct. 8, 2003, when they subjected her to a strip search in an effort to find Ibuprofen, an anti-inflammatory drug sold over the counter and in prescription strengths." [note: none was even found]
