Dick Cheney a Threat to US National Security

After 911 the Republicans gained politically and they used this power to violate and justify actions that violated US laws and international laws too. Fear was also used extensively to manipulate the US population, a rhetoric of fear and isolation, which was used to reduce their rights or gain more power over them. One of the ways they were manipulated was with impending threats of attacks and alert levels that fluctuated.

Dick Cheney is now also continuing his rhetoric of fear and impending attack, while the Obama administration is making progress internationally, and has endangered the United States. In the world of shadows, the enemies of the United States may actually attack now to give the Republicans, who are at an all time low and under political turmoil, a boost politically. Given the economic, international, and domestic harm the Republicans have done over the years, the enemies of the United States would gain, by a gain in popularity for the Republicans. An attack would also permit some Republicans, and Dick Cheney himself, the possibility to escape any prosecution or justice.

“Security and Authority - attacks to increase power
Security authorities or organizations will sometimes provoke and welcome attacks on themselves or those they are sworn to protect, and in some cases they may even attack themselves, so that they can obtain more power and authority over those they are said to protect.”
