#1 Sounds like someone found the Shah's 1979 'season in hell' playbook. If I remember right, it didnt work very well then either. for that matter, who does it work for? I can list regime after regime that tried this and the result is always the same result eventually ( special exception rule goes to the PRC - but the key word is 'eventually' )

So the way it works is this:

1. Clamp down on liberties to make them love you. 2. Blame 'outside agitators' for all the trouble. 3. Arrest and detain indiscrimently.

oh, yeah! that's gonna work, sure fire!
