police state: Encyclopedia II - Authoritarianism - Authoritarianism and ideology

Authoritarianism often arises from the governing bodies' presumption that they know what is right or wrong for the country and from intolerance of dissent. The government then enforces what it thinks is right, often with use of considerable force and sometimes in blatant violation of human rights. Dissenting voices are ignored, or, more strikingly, are considered to be plotting against the best interests of the country. Such was, for instance, the case duri ...

police state: Encyclopedia II - National security - National security and rights & freedoms

Following the terrorist September 11, 2001 attacks in the United States, and subsequent terrorist incidents around the world, national security has become a primary concern for all governments. The measures adopted to maintain national security in the face of threats to society has in turn led to ongoing dialectic, particularly in liberal democracies, on the appropriate scale and role of authority in matters of civil and human rights. Public discourse on these issues has highlighted the tension that exists between the preservation of the state (by maintainin ...

police state: Encyclopedia II - Authoritarianism - Economic arguments for authoritarianism

One controversial belief, especially in Asia, is that countries with authoritarian regimes are more likely to be economically successful than democratic countries. Examples given to support this thesis are South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, and Taiwan, which were considered authoritarian during their period of growth. This notion of developmental authoritarianism is a central justification for the rule of the Communist Party of China within the People's Republic of China. (The notion that authoritarian government is ultimately superior to democracy was also part of the idea of Asian values ...

police state: Encyclopedia II - Political privacy - Government encroachment on political privacy

Radical or extreme political opinions that do not achieve expression to a satisfactory degree within a formal electoral system or legal system present a special problem: while all of the above concerns remain, they must be balanced against the concern that the system itself will be directly and violently opposed by those of such views, relatively disadvantaging those who work within the system for change. A typical issue of this sort is the wearing of masks during protests and demonstrations, e.g. in the anti-globalization movement. The hiding of identity as radical views are expressed, e ...

police state: Encyclopedia II - Ochlocracy - Mobs in history

Historians often comment on mob rule as a factor in the rise of Rome, and its maintenance, as the city of Rome itself was huge (reaching a million people in ancient times), and the aristocracy and even military was very small by comparison to the citizenry. With weapons also being crude, the military force did not exist that could have dealt with a revolt from the larger populace. There was a constant need to keep people fed, distracted, and in awe of the power of the state. Those who could do this, ruled not ...

It all starts in 1995, which has been referred to as "Year Omega" ever since: Over night, universal infertility sets in. The reason is unknown. The last people to be born -- i e all children born in 1995 -- have come to be called "Omegas": "A race apart", they enjoy various prerogatives and, now in their mid-twenties, generally seem to be very proud to be the youngest humans alive. Having access to statistical data, the first people to notice that something is wrong are gynaecologists, obstetricians, and midwives, whereas couples who ...

Kosovo War - Kosovo in Titoist Yugoslavia 1945–1986. Serbs and Albanians had both long regarded Kosovo as their own historical space. For Serbs, it was the center of their culture [1] as well as the site of the Battle of Kosovo in 1389, which resulted in a catastrophic defeat of Serbia at the hands of the invading Ottomans (traditionally interpreted as Serbia's sacrifice for Christianity). Tensions between the two communities had been simmering throughout the 20th century and had occasionally erupted int ...

In the interest of evaluating Titor's claims more precisely, here are some of the slightly less vague predictions that can be derived from his writings. The following predictions are from johntitor.com, along with the exact quotes on which they are based. It is useful to note that Titor stated that he had no interest in "proving" that he was a time traveler, and many of his "predictions" were offhand comments or answers to specific questions.

Critics making this claim come from a variety of political viewpoints. The claim that the United States is fascistic remains dubious and fiercely debated, with few scholars supporting the claim.
