Thrice upon a Time

January 14,  2004

The current leaders of the United States of America believe that they possess power. But having real power and the ability to use it, requires the ability to control events. In many places now, including Iraq, our continued failures have proven that the USA does not possess real power. We possess a lot of weapons, and a lot of arrogance - but we have no idea of what real power is - or how to use it...

This is the third year of the surreal obscenity that is being called the Bush administration. A brief review of those three years, coupled with the actions that have come from this illegal and poisonous dictatorship - yields some very unusual "new directions" - for the nation and the world.

SECURITY

Security has several dimensions: national-international, corporate, and individual.

On the global front the United States is now seen as "the greatest threat to peace and security in the world today." - from the 93.4% of the world that are not Americans.

This flows from the introduction of the Bush Doctrine of 2002, which views all countries as potential threats to the imperial power of the USA, that includes our allies as well as our continually shifting list of enemies.

Corporate security for transnational interests now enjoys an almost total shield for all their criminal misdeeds around the world. This has been made possible by the continuous "State of War" - that we are now told will proceed without end, into the future. Under cover of "security" in all its guises, people and business interests world-wide are now being subjected to black-ops hit squads and governmental destabilizations, according to global Cabals - whose bottom line is private profit and planetary control.

Private or individual security has been murdered: Slain in broad daylight with barely a whimper from ordinary people. Hard won freedoms and the hopes and dreams of billions of people around the planet are now being held hostage - not by terrorists - but by their own governmental security schemes to take (illegally) the property and rights of citizens, even whole countries: without even the need for a token pretense of legality. Terrorism is only the excuse being used, not "the fact" that we are told that it has become.

Under the Bush Doctrine, dictators and tyrants around the world are "seizing the moment" to steal whatever they were hesitant to take before Bush (BB2). With such draconian lawlessness now in place - it will be nearly impossible to take back the kind of world that many people used to dream about. Gone is the place where men and women dreamed and worked to make a better life. Gone is the idea of a world that included many nations, many peoples, and most of the diverse belief systems that have existed for millennia. What remains now is one concept, one huge enemies list, and only one power whose actions are now ruled by sheer greed and pure arrogance.

In our collective past, whenever any nation or individual attempted such a takeover, the only thing that stopped them was rebellion. But that can't happen when so many now choose not to see the facts, that are beginning to shape this 'Brave New World,' set out in the Bush Doctrine of 2002.

Freedom.

 
In America, what was once a staple of life is no longer there. The government under, Total
Information Access (TIA - said to have been eliminated under Poindexter - but which has now been resurrected) is being used to "clear" Americans, or to arrest them, whenever they try to buy an airline ticket. 

The excuse given is that this is necessary to make every flight "secure" from terrorists. But with completely open US borders, thousands of miles in length, and our ports and shipping virtually unmonitored - this is another self-serving lie from HOMELAND security.

It is a proven fact that whenever a people give up their freedoms for "security" - they will have neither freedom nor security." What goes unmentioned is that they will become an enslaved population. Currently the USA is a nation without borders, when it comes to enforcing the Immigration and Naturalization laws of this country. These laws, like immigration laws everywhere were put in place not to discriminate against other people - but to control conditions, employment, and the national character of this country. No other major nation has opted to have an immigration war that targets first - its own citizens. Our borders have been nullified, not by Congress - but by the Dictatorship that has taken the power away from congress, under cover of the war powers act. This theft has been sanctioned by the so-called "Supreme Court" - who sold their impartiality, when they gave the office of the presidency to George W. Bush, on 12-12-2000, despite the fact that he did not win the majority vote in the election of 2000. What was different here was that the court, by law, is prohibited from interfering with the election of the presidency (as that totally skews any future objectivity which the Supreme Court is supposed to maintain).

The above events illustrate the manner in which the rights of all Americans were stolen from them, at least on paper. But the real crime was that Americans did not see what happened as a crime, (so few people now being aware of how the US government is supposed to work - or even what their rights actually were) and hence "we" took no action to stop this nation from becoming a dictatorship, in everything except the name. With this failure Freedom became the first and most pivotal failure, in what will prove to be the most horrendous act of the coupe that took place instead of the national election in 2000.

The Future

Under this new banner which will become the iron fist of martial law, tyranny, and the brutal repression of an entire way of life - all aspects of the way we live will give way to "security" and to transnational corporate concerns that will turn this planet into one huge sweat shop - without dreams, without rights, and with only ever-more-limited opportunity for all except the very few, who will continue to swallow all that has been built to date.
The most recent idiocy being spewed from the Pirates is that we need to spend a Trillion dollars to establish outposts on the Moon and Mars. (This while some US states are approaching bankruptcy). What this is in fact, is a Trillion dollars more, that will be spent to weaponize all of space - so that we can control the whole planet - from orbit. This is the president on whose watch the Space Shuttle exploded because of budget cuts that had so severely limited operations that a piece of foam was able to punch a hole in the spacecraft - and the entire crew died. In fact every "program" initiated under this "president" has had an equal if not more egregious failure rate.

His jobs program for the American people has been the worst since the great depression - and now his only offering on jobs has been to legalize between 8 and 12 million illegal workers already here while currently offering "jobs" to another 4 million Mexicans - but nothing is being offered to US citizens. In education, his "Leave no child behind" program will indeed insure that all children in public education make it into the poorhouses that he's currently designing for all of us. The governments handling of the medical programs in this country are an abomination, in the community of nations. We are the only major nation with no universal health plan for all our citizens. And what we're in the process of doing to senior citizens and to social security amounts to "re-writing the rules after the game has been played." We've worked and we've paid, and now when it's our turn to benefit from those taxes paid in - we're about to get screwed again: Because the money is all going to go to friends of BB2.

These "outcomes." Along with many more, will crush the plans of billions, for a more sustainable, more human-friendly world - a world where individuals of all colors and all nationalities might have sought a better life, for themselves and for their children. No people can live without dreams. No nation can stand without just laws that are enforced. And most of all, no future can exist on a foundation that is built completely on government lies and deceptions. Until this government investigates, fully and publicly, the entire affair known as 911 - this dire situation described above, may actually come to pass as an everyday fact of life.

Only we can stop this continuing crime, but to do that we must begin to speak out, and we must find ways to make our voices heard.
