Glen Yeadon | The Nazi Hydra in America: Suppressed History of a Century | Part 1 of 2

"When fascism comes to America, it will come wrapped in an American flag." Huey Long, an assassinated American maverick politician of the 1930's, famously foretold. It arrived ceremoniously on the morning of September 11, 2001. Three thousands perished in the flames as the nation watched the tragedy unfold in shock and horror. Predictably, Americans rallied around the flag. America's new century had a new Pearl Harbor, and the media beat the war drums to the thunderous applause of flag-waving armchair patriots. Within 45 days of the atrocity, Congress passed the ill-named Patriot Act - without a single congressman reading the bill;. It was a full-scale assault on our rights and freedoms. This act eliminated our rights to unwarranted searches, the right to legal counsel, the right to a trial. It greatly expanded the government's ability to spy on citizens without a warrant. That was the beginning of "The Nazi Hydra."
