The Hegelian Dialectic of problem reaction Solution
Governance via the Hegelian Dialectic of Problem Reaction Solution
By: Frank M. Connell, Jr.

The Patriot Act and the Department of Homeland Security have absolutely nothing to do with terrorists, Muslims or Islamic terrorists. Both were both conceived well in advance of 9-11. These draconian pieces of legislation were implemented for the sole purpose of waging war on the American people so that the privileged elite can implement their plan to destroy the US Constitution, the US currency, US sovereignty, and ultimately implement a one-world government. There is no clearer illustration of this war than Senator Lindsey Graham’s recent comment about Military Defense Authorization Bill. Graham said “The homeland is part of the battlefield and people can be held without trial whether an American citizen or not.”

So what’s the best way to sell big government, and ultimately world government to the American people who are historically predisposed to an independent republic of limited government? The answer is quite simple: the Hegelian dialectic of problem reaction solution (or the “problem reaction solution paradigm”). This tactic is one of the oldest tricks in the book so to speak, and has been used effectively by ruling authorities since the beginning of time. In simple terms it means to deliberately create problems, and then offer only those solutions that result in the expansion of governmental power and control. Create conditions so frightful at home and abroad that the abandonment of personal liberties and national sovereignty will appear as a reasonable price to pay in return for domestic tranquility and world peace.

If those who seek world dominion can scare the entire nation with exhaustive news coverage about fake terrorists, fake terrorist attacks, and fake terrorist organizations that they themselves created and control, then the peaceful and freedom loving majority can be programmed to accept a vast expansion of government powers, a loss of their

    The Patriot Act detriments our political freedoms on behalf of national security and hurts the values that distinguish our nation. The act consolidates numerous fresh powers in the executive branch of government. The most vital feature of the Patriot Act is a new, in-depth meaning of terrorism. “Section 802 states that a person engages in domestic terrorism if they do any act dangerous to human life that is a violation of the criminal laws of a state or the United States, if that action appears to be intended to intimidate or coerce a civilian population, affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping.””(The Patriot Act Helps Keep America Safe. 9 June 2005.)” The acts must take place above all within the national jurisdiction of the United…

    On September 11, 2001, four passenger planes were hijacked by sixteen members of the terrorist organization known as al-Qaeda. Two of the planes were sent to the World Trade Center in New York City, another was sent to the Pentagon in Washington D.C, while the final plane was forcibly brought down in fields outside of suburban Pennsylvania. These hijackings led to the loss of 2,980 lives, and the events of 9/11 would become the largest terrorist attack on United States soil. In the wake of these attacks, Congress quickly passed the USA PATRIOT Act, also known as the “Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism” Act. The Patriot Act, as it is more commonly referred to, was created with the goal of providing government agencies the tools to seek out and prosecute any terrorists planning an attack within the country. Unfortunately for the American people, Congress was indifferent to the fact that many provisions of the Patriot Act were a violation of the Constitution. The Patriot Act has granted government establishments the capability of…

    Perhaps, many thought, September 11 would mark the beginning of a time when all Americans would stand together in unity and equality…. politicians passed new laws like the “USA Patriot Act” that greatly expanded police powers to spy, arrest and interrogate suspects (League for Revolutionary Party, 2011).…

    Throughout history America has been known for intervening in other countries diplomatic affairs for the sake of special interests that can be anything from raw materials to competing for power against another country. By convincing people to rebel against their government, America is able to reach its goal. The American government is also known for manipulating people’s opinions against their government by propagandizing and filling them with empty dreams and hopes such as freedom and democracy. They explain that the only way to achieve those dreams is to overthrow the government. The American intervention in other countries led to many impacts.…

    Developed “to deter and punish terrorist acts in the United States and around the world, to enhance law enforcement investigatory tools, and for other purposes” the USA Patriot Act, bears the formal name ‘‘Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism (USA Patriot Act, 2001, p. 1).

The Patriot Act immediately granted broad-based interrogation, surveillance and isolation abilities to law enforcement when investigating “crimes against terror” (US Government, 2011)…

    The patriot act was passed in response to the attack. The patriot act was signed by George W Bush and it was an act to deter and punish terrorist’s acts in the United States and around the world, to enhance the law enforcement investigatory tools, and for other purposes. This allowed law enforcements to search and watch over U.S. citizens without a warranty. It was a controversial topic for many people. Another thing is “after 9/11 budgets for defines related agencies skyrocketed: Homelands Security’s discretionary budget jumped from about $16 billion in 2002 to more than $43 billion in 2011.” It is said that the unites states has spent more than $7.6 trillion on defines and homeland security since 9/11. Bush was determined to find Osama Bin Laden and sent many troops to Afghanistan which fired up the war. The war on terror was a term used by George w bush that referred to the international military campaign that took place after nine eleven. The war on terror was viewed differently than others.

There was a spread of patriotism throughout the nation. After attacking the Taliban government which fell, bin laden was hiding out away from us. Eventually, seal team six captured him in 2011 and he was…

    The Founding Fathers rejected the tyranny of kings and apportioned powers among Congress, the states, the executive and the courts in a balance that Americans of diverse beliefs have argued over ever since. Ronald Reagan famously declared government the problem, not the solution — then added to its size. Bill Clinton announced the end of the era of big government — and pared it back. Barack Obama won election — twice — holding out the promise of an activist government that could do so much more for its citizens.…

    Leaders, such as the president, are determined to spread "democracy" and deny any "predatory interests," despite avid force on other nations (Fellow). It seems that after September 11, many more Americans are willing to "avenge the attacks" by going overseas to "remake the world" to resemble one similar to the U.S. (Fellow). These goals quite comparable to an empire can only be achieved with the assertion of America's "supremacy around the globe" (Fellow). America is an empire, yet all the force and strength put into the role only creates burden. As the U.S. invades other countries to spread its democracy, "puppet governments" are formed to impose the rule (Hoffman). These types of governments almost always fail because the values that America holds are forced upon the weaker nations. America and its people are not "prepared for the burdens of empire" as they do not have sufficient funds or military to spread across the world (Goodman 9). With a decrease in resources as America expands its democracy, a decrease in allied powers will also occur (Ricks). The power that America holds is being pushed into countries, thus creating competitors and even enemies. Not only is the nature of America's intentions imperialistic, but they also seem to be for a particular purpose, namely oil. Especially with the war in…

    This act was originally introduced as a response to the September 11th attacks to reduce the restrictions on law enforcements abilities to search specific types of electronic communication, authority to regulate financial transactions more in depth and to expand the timeframe individuals detained for being suspected of participating, support or funding terrorist activities (USA Patriot Act, 2001). With the increase of technological advances in communications technology, Americans will need to start expecting the US Government to more freely pry into their privacy. The USA Patriot Act has become a vital tool for law enforcement in identifying, locating, and apprehending terrorists in the US. Without this act, it would be much more difficult to locate these terrorists and they would be allowed to venture into the US and create any havoc they see fit. Because of the Patriot Act, Americans have started to see certain privacy issues surface from full body scanners at the airports to increased communications interceptions on their phones.…

    Well the USA Patriot Act was signed into law during the Bush administration. That’s George W. Bush Sr. that I’m talking about. According to the author of A Gift of Fire, Sara Baase, the USA Patriot Act “(passed after the terrorist attacks in 2001) eased government access to many kinds of personal information, including library and financial records, without a court order.” An internet search will tell you that the USA Patriot Act is “An Act: To deter and punish terrorist acts in the United States and around the world, to enhance law enforcement investigatory tools, and for other purposes. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled.” The events of 9/11 brought about this change, had the government had this access maybe the events of that horrific day could have been avoided or halted before so many lives were…

    The Patriot Act was designed to try and eliminate acts of terrorism on the United States. This act was signed in 2001 by president George W. Bush. Just weeks after the terrorist attacks on 9/11(NBCNews). The Patriot Act allows for the government to identify terrorist. “This is done by wiretapping and monitoring text messages and phone calls’’(Diamond).I am not saying that are civil liberty aren't important but when it comes to keeping our citizens safe then this is the only choice. People who have nothing to hid should have no problem with the government monitoring them for the sake of people's lives. The patriot act has allowed for at least 50 terrorist attacks against the United States to be foiled since 9/11.(Johnson) This Act is doing…

    I, myself, before September 11, 2001 did not know what terrorism was. It is completely a new term for me, and I could never figure how terrible it is. But then, experiencing and witnessing the feeling of losing the one you loved who was a victim of that disaster, I recognized that the world is no longer as safe as before. Today, not only America but also Britain, Spain, Indonesia…became the target of terrorists. The terror tissue is the most challenged thing for all the governments to solve. Even though after September 11, 2001, US has attacked and destroyed a lot terrorists’ bases in over the world, the terrorists still survive and keep aiming to US and its allies.…
