Let's Cut to the Chase!

"A dictatorship would be a heck of a lot easier, there's no question about it." - President George W. Bush Fresh from his victory over the economy and with his grip on congress clearly evident - Bush now begins the final phase of the de facto integration of our 51st state that just happens to be located in the Middle East. After all we're giving them far more money than we give to any of our own states now. Meanwhile the 04 campaign is beginning, with the difference this time being that we have three candidates on the neo-conservative slate, Cheney-BUSH & Sharon. The first thought that comes to mind is why do we bother with the pretense? What's the point of retaining a completely complicit congress, and their associates in high crimes and misdemeanors - that moribund and pompous nine on the Supreme Court of the United States? They gave up their mandate and their constitutional authority on December 12, 2000.

Why not just recognize the situation that now is - the United States of America has had a coup and the winner has declared a Dictatorship.

The sooner this nation stops pretending that its people have anything to say about our politics or our Foreign Policies, the sooner all the financially interested groups and individuals can get down to dividing up whatever may be left of the dreams of all the rest of us. This needs to happen if for no other reason, than to simply avoid the continuing need to repeat such a fantastic stream of obvious lies.

Let's just disband the government, and give all those tedious records (personal, private, medical and financial), to private enterprise, including that mountain of red tape from all the circuitous agencies that have spent decades amassing such useless and trivial information on every citizen that has ever lived and every event that has ever happened. That - is what this government has succeeded in doing already - in its outrageous seizure of all our rights and privileges under the USA PATRIOT Act. Since it is clear that our social programs have been disemboweled by the insatiable needs of the U.S. Department of WAR - why should we bother to retain the empty shells of those constructs - let's just cut to the chase and call it like it is. The USA is now the world's leading Dictatorship!

And while we're at it, why not just drop the pretense that the States of the United States have any say in what the Federal government does or does not do? Each state must now accept the fact that they, like the citizenry have become unimportant dead weight within this new focus of the tyrannical bandits who have not-so-quietly stolen this country.

We should also drop all pretense about our professional journalists (most of whom have long since forgotten that every story has more than one side) - and just lump our so-called 'independent Networks into a single and more efficient " U.S. Ministry of Information." That way there would be no more conflict between what the White House says and actual events. Under this new information ministry there would be only one point of view about whatever is reported (which is the fact now anyway). Events that happen, that might not be in agreement with the Dictatorship will not only be forbidden, but the ministry could then openly lead the charge to track down all those that disagree with anything that the dictatorship demands of anyone (in the mode of "America's Most Wanted"). Welcome to 1984 - revisited. This would cut out the need to pretend that there is another viewpoint, and allow the more efficient use of propaganda to solidify our new fascist base. Corporate-Militaristic-Capitalism is now our international stock in trade, and Fascism is our actual mode of dealing with all those who disagree with the principles or the practices of our shiny new dictatorship.

The above by the way fits the pattern that the Bush mal-administration has been following since George the Lesser 'took' the office. This has all been done before: In fact it just aired on national television in a four hour mini-documentary from CBS called "HITLER - the rise of evil." This program had to have been seen by millions of Americans and if those who saw this weren't completely brain dead - the facts of the story in this phase of Hitler's rise to power seemed uncomfortably close to every action our Dictator has taken upon this nation - which intensified immediately after September 11th. Even the names of programs such as "HOMELAND Security" came straight from the records of Nazi Germany. The situation concerning the roundup of "enemies of the state" and the "detention without charges" not to mention the suspension of "freedom of speech" and "freedom of movement" also comes directly from the Nazi's records of how they dealt with their political opposition in 1934. In addition FEMA has a plan called "Garden Plot" that has been configured to create the same kinds of camps here that Hitler found so useful for dealing with dissent in his attempt to solidify his Dictatorship over the formerly free Republic of Germany.

"Bullshit!" you say? It is way past time for people here to start to look around and to begin to listen to what is going on. Unfortunately too many still believe in the 'illusions' they are living. When you have been fired or laid off or marginalized - you may find that the world begins to look a lot different to you then - than it does now. You may also discover just how many real friends you have. There is a very real and extremely hard life being lived by millions of people who do not enjoy anything like the same rights and privileges, as do the currently employed. The USA really is a divided country, a nation who speaks and acts with two tongues, and two completely different sets of values and services. We attack welfare for the poor and the dispossessed, but we champion corporate welfare for the rich and powerful. We slash services and programs for ordinary people but we reward the insiders with obscenely generous and very secret contracts, that are bleeding this nation dry.

This mini-course in whether the glass of national life is half-full or half-empty will soon be coming to a great many of those now still employed in the Federal government - who are soon to join the ranks of the unemployed - come July 1, 2003. And since ex-employees of the government from the lower echelons are not high on anyone's list of "must hires" there will be a large number of rather angry folks who were once very content with life in these" bountiful" United States. There will be many who may suddenly discover that a parallel and extremely ugly world has co-existed right along side their little paradise for all these years. The only difference will be that now these newly unemployed will soon come to know how the other half has not been able to live - first hand. And that will be fabulous! Funny, how reality has a way of bringing the real bullshit home to roost.

We need to just get on with it - and stop the pretense. As a very wise person once said:

"It's not a prison if you haven't tried the door." We could learn a lot from that fact!
