Conduct Unbecoming!

April  27,  2004

Since then they've been playing fast and loose with everything and everyone that they've encountered, whether friend or foe, according to their most basic whims.

With every word or deed they have been telling us we do not matter in the least. And our response continues to be nothing at all. No hue and cry has risen yet, from anything that they have done. And after almost four years of tyranny, deceit, corruption, murder, and perversion: all is still proceeding as though these were competent, elected, sane, and honorable people. Why America, why do we refuse to see what the rest of the world knows to be crimes of an unimaginable degree?

You know that long list of promises broken, legislation thwarted, and dreams denied, as well as anyone. But the reality of the extent of this barbarity goes all the way down into every detail, even to the perversion of the smallest parts of life and purpose.

It was not enough that we smashed Iraq and now we're saying that we really haven't crushed it, because now we're going to give them freedom and democracy. That's not something that anyone can give another being, and besides, we never asked them if they really wanted that. Maybe all they wanted was to be left alone?

We've changed their money for them, and now some genius in the bowels of this government has come up with a flag that has more in common with Israel's tastes in national identity than theirs.

But we've also done this to us as well. Take a look at the back of a one-dollar bill. What you'll find there are the two sides of the Great Seal of the United States. Then go to the website for Homeland Security, http://www.dhs.gov/dhspublic/ and see if you recognize what they've done, unasked, to that symbol that used to be filled with meaning and connections to our ideals and to the promise in what this nation was founded on.

Again, no one asked these counterfeit leaders to change anything about the symbols that are used to represent this country-oh, but I forgot the nation that we were, is not the one they want to own outright. Their fantasy republic will be missing all those key components of the Bill of Rights and the constitution, along with any and all protections of the people from them, because these terrorists are exactly what the framers had in mind-when they wrote those documents so long ago.

All that historical parchment was created to protect us from just such an over-reaching and abusive government. Their guiding documents will not be of, by, and for the people: but instead will consist of, by, and for the transnational corporations and all their lackey's special interests, in perpetuity. Go figure!

What does all this have to do with what is really in a name? Each of us can answer for ourselves on that one. When it comes to nations, they too have names and symbols that they value, as extensions of themselves. It should be up to each and every nation to determine which symbols shall be theirs and theirs alone to have. Again they didn't ask, because they didn't think it was important.

While this government has gone about the process of revising all that we have been, we've hardly noticed anything amiss, but maybe that's because we've ceased to care about the differences in much of anything. After all "Change is good - the Future is NOW" Believe this at your peril. Because along with all of that goes sworn testimony, civil behavior, public discourse, and a lack of censorship, not to mention being considered innocent until proven guilty: Unless of course you're one of them, because then you'd be protected from all the laws that might challenge what you do.

And don't forget that other tired old stuff that brought us to this moment; like real jobs based on a nation that protected it's own workforce, and charged all those who shipped their profits to the islands, just to duck the taxes: that's only more of yesterday's news. Now even government leaders see this as a business opportunity, only fools and working stiffs pay taxes anymore.

Did you know that over 70% of all foreign corporations doing business here pay nothing in taxes at all? Did you know that nearly 50% of all transnational corporations here pay nothing in taxes either? An interesting foot note maybe, but no one seems to care. Maybe it hasn't dawned upon us yet that we have to carry all that extra weight for those who make the big bucks, while they slash every job they can, and all the while chastising us with calls to "go and get new skills - and get a job!" What these guys should be getting is a 6 by 8 foot prison cell and all the darkness they can steal for the rest of their natural lives.

Just as casually as these bandits have stolen all they have, they see no problem in eliminating skill sets and professions by the score. That's the wave of the future, and how dare you seek to do something that has meaning with your life. You must follow the jobs, wherever they might lead you. Currently the government is pushing trash collecting as a career field, they probably have a fancy name for that. Or there are high-tech openings at the moment in cyber space, but by the time you've paid your money and gotten out of school all of that will also be offshore. There are medical professional openings, they say, but who will be able to afford a doctor or a dentist anymore, when their draconian medical plans become the order of the day?

It's broken people, the American Dream is nothing but a bullet-riddled corpse, as dead in fact, as any fallen victim who was trying to live their life in any of the war torn zones where we've declared their very lives to be the one true enemy of all.

Power is about who gets to write the scripts for living, as well as who should profit and who should pay for all that must be done. And with our inattention we have given, a license without limits, to these evil bastards that claim to represent us. So in the end what does it really matter whether they reconfigure someone else's flag, or rewrite the constitution of a nation, just to suite themselves? Who cares what anything is called-change your name at least once a year, more often if you like. What does it matter about the connections to your family, your place within the world? What is life worth without a job that has some meaning in the labor undertaken? Forget all that they say, "pay your bills, and all your taxes too, and be sure to be respectful of your masters," because they can take everything away as surely as they gave it in the first place.

Time served, talents refined, experience acquired - none of that means anything! You're really nothing in their eyes except another greedy mouth who needs to eat, another lazy body trying to get on welfare, because you failed the only test that counts-you're guilty of not being one of them!

So yes, they're guilty of "Conduct Unbecoming," but unless there is an outcry all of the above will only be a prologue for what is coming next! Maybe I'll see you in the camps, but maybe not. I'm too old, too set against the grain to be bothered with, but you may still be valuable for something that they need: now that's a different story all together, and one you cannot miss!
