      I have appended two news stories, the first
from The
Hill, “The Police prepare for unrest,” and the other from the Washington
Post, “On Al-Qaeda Websites, Joy
Over U.S. Crisis and Support for McCain.”
       
      The
GOP ticket’s in a heap of trouble, with Palin hurting the ticket, and
McCain appearing increasingly desperate and being forced to try to
defend traditionally rock-solid GOP states in the face of a surge of
support for Obama after the Wall Street crisis struck.
       
      Revulsion for the Bush regime and for
McCarthyist baiting by the GOP is evident everywhere.
       
      At
the same time, the reactionary and fascist wind being whipped up by the
GOP and its supporters is intensifying. At Western Carolina University
in North Carolina on Monday, for example, a murdered bear
cub wrapped in Obama posters was discovered.
       
      Some
people are exultant that Obama’s going to win. He’s clearly got a lead
that barring a dramatic event should, if the votes are even mostly
counted, give him the presidency.
       
      However,
as the two following stories underscore, a November surprise is going
to happen, one way or the other, whether Obama wins or doesn't. Even
though he is clearly backed by very powerful ruling class interests and
even though his politics are solidly and entirely in service of their
interests, the fact remains that in the minds of the most backward
sectors of the society, he's still a black man. 
       
      The
people who stole the last two elections are still around and still are
hellbent to take permanent control over the society and the world. They
believe that they have God on their side. They have demonstrated time
and time again that they regard no trick, no stratagem, and no action
beneath them, including torture, assassination and murder.

      Even
if Obama does win, the contradictions that are on boil in the world,
especially in places like Afghanistan and Pakistan, the troubles at
home, and the worldwide financial crisis will not subside. They will
intensify. The fascist forces that the GOP has been cultivating for
some time and the reactionaries in our society will not fold up their
tents and retire to Bermuda should they lose this election. 
       
      The next several weeks are going to be tumultuous,
dramatic, and perilous. 
      Hold
onto your hats, hold onto your heads, and realize that nothing that you
thought was ever-lasting and immune from radical or revolutionary
changes, for good or ill, is as permanent as it may have seemed.

    Declare It Now! Wear Orange!
Impeach Bush & Cheney for War Crimes
& Crimes against Humanity!
