“If you believe in coincidence, then perhaps you consider it to be a remarkable [one] that, just as the American military is being weakened in Iraq, the National Guard is being placed under the President’s direct control, and that ammunition is being cut off from police departments and armed citizens, while air defense units are being deployed to Washington, D.C., and mercenaries [i.e., Blackwater] are developing their own air force. I’m not so sure. If we have the most capable air force in the world, then why is this one needed? To do things our own air force would not do? All of these developments are troubling and lead me to think that the Kennebunkport Warning [of a second 9/11, a strike on Iran, and the imposition of martial law] may be even better founded than its signers realize.” (50)
