2004 or 1984

January 21,  2004

Tonight’s State of the Union address was meaningless because the national agenda was set well before these creatures took office. Those who wanted to hear about ‘domestic issues’ will have to share the spotlight with all those who have died at the hands of this administration – over the last three years. Bush has claimed a mandate to ensure security.

Instead, Bush & Company created a Nexus-of-Failure where all can clearly see the duplicity, the deceptions, and all the lies.

"In George Orwell’s classic novel 1984, the ‘Ministry of Truth’ declared: "War is Peace – Freedom is Slavery and Ignorance is Strength." To these hallmarks of double-speak the Bush administration has added, "Lies are Truth!"

Here we are once more at the annual crossroads of deeds committed and failures denied. And again we have seen a litany of lies being spread over open societal wounds inflicted on this nation and the world, courtesy of The Bandits of the Bush Regime.

In http://www.truthout.org/docs_04/011704A.shtml Vice-president Cheney says:

"Bush was establishing, as Truman had, a new structure for a new long-term war and spreading the military into new areas of the globe." Here we have the doctrine for perpetual war that in Cheney’s brain equals perpetual peace. And in this farce he sees a "war" that will never end.

Anger is only the first part of taking any action, and it is a healthy response to a despicable situation.

Those who are not angered by all the blood spilled and the treasure wasted by these bandits and their co-conspirators must be completely cut off from the rest of the human race. How can people justify having not paid any attention to who should occupy the office, - until this moment in time? Maybe this has something to do with the completely misleading media view that hangs on every word, every proposal of this administration, as though its decisions were handed down from somewhere on high. The fact is most of these proposals come straight from the sewers of humanity’s most egregious failings. And whatever else may have happened between 2000 and 2004, the hands of everyone in authority here, are still dripping with the blood of thousands. And those bloodstains will mark every program and every solution that this administration tries to carry forward.

We are in a race to return to the days of the robber barons: Back to a time when we still had child labor, and the virtual slavery of indentured servitude. In that time we also had racism, sexism, and unchallenged dominance by the elites, no matter the cost or the consequences. We are seeing the reversal of all that we’ve worked so had to obtain – never mind the colossal waste of life, of energy, and of global expectations? Why do so many now seem to want to allow that to happen? Maybe it’s only because those who have jobs, still feel that they can afford to remain unconcerned. But to the many more, this is just another confirmation that Orwell’s "Ignorance is Strength" is a concept that has political power well beyond his novel.

One needs only to look at ‘the liberation of the Iraqi people’ to see the obvious parallels. On the ‘home front’ we can watch the flight of millions of US jobs being sent offshore so that corporations can downsize their costs by 90%, while they increase the costs of their goods to customers. This "globalized form of "Free Trade" is just slavery. The transnationals are killing their own customer base, by denying Americans the decent jobs that once made this nation the envy of the world.

What about the depreciation of having a college degree? Despite the increased costs of a college education, what can "a degree" be worth now, when there will are no jobs to fill?

The level of cynicism is evident, in their simultaneous destruction of the nation, their re-direction of profits solely to themselves, and their criminally minded cohorts. This is matched only by their arrogant distain for all the supposed legality’s and rights that formerly belonged to anyone else on the planet. They were able to do this because today "Freedom" under the Bush dictatorship has become economic "Slavery."

History has proven that those who have become part of the Nexus-of-Failure cannot win. They must eventually implode - because their hunger for unreasonable power can only result in gorging themselves to death. That’s a law of balance and of nature. There’s a symbiotic relationship now, between those seeking global control and those who want nothing more than to not see, to not know, anything that may actually be taking place. Iowa sought the natural yearning for optimism in this election year. But optimism cannot wear blinders when it comes to what has happened to us, since Bush arranged his own ascendancy. Politicians are talking about all that they want to give to the American people: but no politician can ever guarantee to deliver our dreams – that task we must reserve for ourselves. When government becomes the barrier that blocks our way, then that government must be removed from office.

So why are we not seeking to upend the coup that created our current dictatorship? It would appear that we have been infected with indifference – the strongest force in the universe. That indifference has overtaken the American electorate. Indifference "lets neglect and decay and monstrous injustice go unchecked, it does not act, it allows. And that's what gives this national disconnect, so much (temporary) power."

"Lies are Truth"

Any candidate who cannot or will not address the "consequences" that have to flow, from the dramatically treasonable actions, that Bush has so blatantly embraced: is not a serious contender to lead this nation.

This nation’s basic freedoms and goals as a people are being threatened with total extinction, unless the machinery of this transnational cabal can be clearly decimated, here at home where this all began. Last night’s "speech" was a near total denial of the events that took place last year. Bush added no new information, he only poured new lies over the old, and called it all ‘truth.’ Bush sought to deepen his determination to continue the slaughter of other people around the globe in the name of national security. As long as we continue to give him our complicit and silent approval - he will continue to further fatten the coffers of his friends and co-conspirators, at the expense of the whole planet.

Optimism is the feel-good fluff of politics. But only reality will allow the ghosts of all those who have died for nothing to finally leave us to the living of our own lives. The first step in seeking that reality is to establish some consequences for the deeds already done – while we try and repair this ‘cancer’ that’s been growing on our body-politic for over three decades. If we chose to continue with the status quo then the images above will become the backdrops for our lives, and that’s not where most of us would prefer to live. Change, if there is to be any, is up to us and always has been.
