Investigative journalist and nationally-distributed columnist Wayne Madsen (of Wayne Madsen Report) is suspiciously held, questioned and harassed while trying to catch a flight from Washington to Houston in what he aptly calls "Israelized America". The selection of Madsen was clearly not random or on the fly.

It is now clear from a review of the events that unfolded that I was pre-selected for an intensive search and battery of questions even before arriving in line for the security screening. A Transportation Security Administration (TSA) screener was overheard saying, "the guy with the beard." Since I was the only person in line who also had a beard, it was evident that a red flag had earlier been raised.

And so one can suspect it had something to do with his recent reporting in general and his profession specifically. Some have linked it to his recent coverage of the "DC Madam" Deborah Palfrey (9/11 Conspiracy Connection To DC Madam Murder, Dick Cheney client of DC Madam etc).

In a blatant violation of the First and Fourth Amendments, my reporter’s notebooks, containing names of contacts in Houston and around the world were paged through by the screeners. Another screener asked if I minded being probed in "certain private areas."

Madsen’s colleague eventually gets taken in for questioning as well (on false pretences no less). Madsen is informed that this is now an incident report, even though the only incident is the TSA violating constitutional rights. Madsen sums it up:

[...] SPOT (Screening Passengers by Observation Technique) and BDO (Behavior Detection Officer) are the new acronyms of Stasi-like control of the American citizenry by a government that treats anyone as a suspicious person in the same manner that Israel mistreats its own Arab citizens and Palestinians.

The corporate media will not report on these cases as they are part of the problem in allowing Chertoff and his American Gestapo to continue to turn the United States into one big West Bank-style checkpoint.

One other note. This editor visited the USSR and draconian nations such as Paul Kagame’s Rwanda, Yoweri Museveni’s Uganda, Hun Sen’s Cambodia, the former military junta’s Thailand, surveillance society Singapore, and Muslim monarchy Brunei Darussalam. Nothing compares to what occurred at Washington National Airport. It is yet another sign of the fact that the United States has entered a phase of fascist control. There’s only one question that remains: Is the slide reversible?

No, most likely it is not. This slide will hit rock bottom before anything will change. There are no simple blank slates. No state of nature. For the slide to break, millions of people need to change their way of thinking. The media would need to work. Special interests would have to be booted from Washington. And democracy, as in the chance to choose from candidates that are not groomed by the powers that be, has to be restored. There are only two ways to go about this. One can have a revolution or one can wait until the next world war, precipitated by an America that has finally slided into madness. The obvious advantage of a war is that a great many of the regular people who support "the slide", by allowing their fears to get the better of them if nothing else, will also perish. Though the elite may still endure. In a revolution, a misguided public often remains while the elite can be put in front of a firing squad. In the end, neither is really enough.
