Somerset Maugham said, "If a nation values anything more than freedom
it will lose its freedom - and the irony of it is that if it is comfort or money
that it values more - it will lose that too."
The United States of America has created a whole new world for itself.
"We"
have done this by failing to pay attention to what the traitors in our midst
have been doing behind closed doors; over all these long years in which the
duplicitous and the arrogant have been hatching their plots, creating the pod
people that they've used to create this parallel universe that is killing the
world as we know it.

What began, as a government of three branches that was
created to be "Of the people, by the people and for the people" has now become
something completely different! Instead of one constitution that rules us all -
there is today a mystically evil shadow Constitution that seems to mean anything
that the New Masters want it to mean. They've even added to the number of
branches that directly affect us.
|

There is HOMELAND Security, and now the Media
to add to the ruling arms of government - so we now have five branches, each of
which appears to be autonomous. All five are very busy now, furiously punching
giant holes in what used to be the Constitution. And since all of this is mostly
done in SECRET - the public hardly cares.
At the same time as "The Masters" added huge numbers of government employees
to the burden carried upon the backs of those who still pay taxes; the New
Masters reduced the governing document to something like a "Cliff's
Notes" version of what the laws actually now are. That was because too few
realized what their rights really are, and what this government is NOT allowed
to do to its citizens. Not knowing in this case can lead directly to many kinds
of slavery, possibly detention, or to an anonymous death without notice or
complaint.

What keeps most in slavish submission to this diabolical
design comes under the heading of several different fears, terrors or possible
insecurities. The Masters designed a very effective plan, one that goes straight
to the monosyllabic world of "ME first, and me ONLY" that Ronnie
Reagan brought into the world along with "Greed is Good." Whenever the
attentions of the many are fixed upon money, comfort and pleasure, something as
difficult as human rights, human freedom,

and the courage to keep those two
things alive - seems very far away indeed.
With this in mind, the Privateers
launched the final step in their coming out party - cutting all ties with
civility, with international or domestic law in all its forms - and basically
they just began spitting on anyone or anything that has the guts to object to
their hostile takeover bid.
In this they've had a lot of help from the Prison System and from what used
to be the US Department of Justice. Together these two coercive factions may
soon merge into a single branch of government devoted to Detention, Punishment
and Re-education training, for anyone who fails to be converted to the One &
Only Way of this universe. This should be called the U.S. Department of
Compliance. Problem is that one cannot build a society on fear, and especially
not one that bases its authority on a brutal and often inhumane Prison system
that ultimately will drag the entire society down to that level of degradation
upon which our medieval system was formulated.
The above is about the expansion of Homeland Insecurity, but to insure that
everything can continue apace without interruption, a fifth arm of the
government was needed. That would be the currently successful coercion of the
Media, from public watchdog over the rich and powerful - to the Master's own
private lap dog that attacks any who dare to approach the truth with any real
intent to get at any semblance of reality.

What has been created while we were "busy with our lives" is
nothing less than a public gallows that replaced our system of laws with a new
core of both government and the kind of society that this government wants to
serve. This farce has been constructed on hundreds of layers of lies, millions
of dead people, and trillions in lost treasure: All because of an attack that
was undertaken by these same criminals at the center of power, an attack that
was meant to cow the herd and silence all opposition to the new ways of the New
Masters. If the goal was to bankrupt the country, to outsource most of our
decent jobs, and to privatize whatever remains of what they haven't yet
destroyed then this appears to have worked. No attack by a foreign invader could
have caused the extent of the chaos that this administration has done to
everything that was once part of life in this country - and they aren't finished
yet!

Our prison system imprisons more people than any other
comparable nation. Two point one million at the moment and growing by 900
inmates per week in 2004! Of this amount, roughly 10 % are serving time for
hard-core crimes, about 5 % are innocent, and the rest of the one point seven
million people should not be there. But prisons like most of the rest of this
society are about profits, and profits require numbers of bodies to imprison,
|

because each one adds to the cost, and higher costs create larger profits for
that part of "The System."
Coincidently, the message of being "tough on criminals" doesn't
hurt the public image of these cutthroat Bandits or their long-term goals. By
warehousing people, and those who oppose them, while insisting only on
punishment, with no possibility for rehabilitation - what is created can only be
more and better criminals. We pay the state or the privatized prison system,
huge sums of money to treat these people as they do. This was part of what we
saw in Abu Ghraib and few realize that the Iraqi experience has sometimes been
the same for prisoners here. Does anyone care how inhumane our prison polices
have become, since they've been allowed to fester in that public darkness that
invites abuse?
The sentencing structure for all crime needs to be revised. White-collar
criminals that extort billions from hundreds of thousands of people should be
sentenced as severely as convicted murderers. Fraudulent politicians and
influence pedaling as a class of criminality is something that has escaped
notice when it comes to sentencing guidelines; that oversight needs to be
examined thoroughly. We could also save billions by doing away with luxury
prisons for the privileged - all those convicted of heinous crimes need to do
hard time alongside common murders, extortionists and the like. Finally, The
Attorney General of the United States needs to become an elected office. The US
Department of Justice is too important to allow that to remain an appointed
position (now it's just a rubber stamp of the president - whoever that might
be).
The powerful know about these discrepancies, and since they are the ones that
would benefit from lax sentences, and plush accommodations - they will do
nothing about changing any of that. One thing is clear - the System has been
completely destroyed - and nothing short of Impeachment stands a real chance of
ever bringing back anything that we have let be desecrated, beginning with all
those crimes we countenanced so many decades back!
In the meantime the race continues to track and monitor every living being in
this country, to find and record every known detail of all our lives. They want
to replace trust with a zero tolerance for SUSPICION - Does this sound like a
nation that has won the war on terror? Are we better off now than we were before
this plague called Bush? And is this monitoring something that any country
determined to keep its freedoms would ever do?

I sincerely doubt that!
