 The month of May was the bloodiest
month in Iraq since the latest Invasion began - yet the White House
response to the unfolding investigations of numerous murders (committed
under cover of "war"), has been to concentrate on a proposed Constitutional
Amendment that would outlaw "Gay Marriage." The last time most of us looked
Murder has always trumped social conventions - at least in any sane and
respectful world. Score one for the Barbarians!
The Supreme Court has ruled that
government employees have no right to be protected by the US Constitution,
whenever they try to report on government abuse within the government ~
another novel and completely illegal act from this Supremely Callous and
Barbaric Court of last appeal, for all things legal in these fractured
States of the Un-United in America. Score another blow against freedom and
the creation of one more brick in the wall of tyranny.
Today, 666 - is the day of Primary
Elections in most states, and as yet there has not been a public debate
anywhere about the most serious issue of the last five years: The Invasion
of Iraq, and American actions as the occupying force inside that now warn
torn country.
This international disgrace does
not even merit an open discussion of any aspect of this continuing crime
against the Iraqi people, or what this might mean regarding the
War-Crimes-Against-Humanity.
Elections that are not about the
things that define the character and responsibilities of government policy,
or national ambitions - cannot be considered valid in the complexity that
passes for life today. This topic is the most tangled one that Americans
have ever faced - because the War on Iraq came from a policy of lies and
deceptions that has grown to become a global destabilization of law and
order that has today descended into the fringes of chaos, around the world.
Yet American politicians choose not to discuss these issues - and the
public refuses to DEMAND that those debates be held. This cowardice signals
the end of the two party system and the triumph of incumbency politics.
When there is no organized resistance to whatever the leadership does -
including the total destruction of the Constitutional form of government
upon which American "leadership" was supposedly based, then there is no
longer a participatory democracy in this Republic.
Score two for the Barbarians, one
for successfully gagging the timid and unthinking American public, and
another for completely shutting down all discussion of reality, both
criminal and domestic.
This was confirmed when Bush began
to add his "signing statements" to the legislation that he signed
- basically over-ruling (rather than vetoing in over 750 cases) each piece
of legislation that he disagreed with. That's a Dictatorship in action, and
directly contradicts the Constitutional form of government that supposedly
governs the USA.
This new "leadership by
decree" also violates the pledge of Office taken by Congress, by
members of the Supreme Court, and by the Executive branch of the federal
government - "to protect and defend the Constitution and the people of the
United States from all enemies both foreign and DOMESTIC" - and since all
this would have to be discussed in any serious debate: neither political
party, nor any major media outlet has come forward to DEMAND a debate on
these issues. Yet it is precisely this conduct, by those who were supposed
to protect against the very things that they have done to all of us - which
is at the core of all this blood upon all our hands, along with those we
sent to Iraq to do what they are doing - in the name of "Freedom &
Democracy."
In light of the fact that this is
one of those few times that Americans can go to the polls -
and that virtually none of the
candidates have devoted any ad space to voting records about either the war
or the withdrawal of any troops - How can this obscenity then be "scored"?
Looks like a lop-sided victory for the Barbarians - again!
There is one other "problem" that
is pivotal: That's the actual responsibility for the specifics of all that
has happened. In the latest allegations about military misconduct (Murder,
as resistance hunting) - the "Chain-of-Command" has come up as being
something that needs to be examined for its part in creating these chapters
from the military version of "Lord-of-the-Flies." To be sure,
those troops who did the killing will be charged, but that is really not
the issue. The question has to be why troops were allowed to repeatedly
conduct this brutal Barbarity - with no fear whatever of any reprisals.
The Chain-of-Command exists to
prevent this kind of crime, by making those-at-the-top responsible for the
deeds of the lowest members of the force being used. Cheney-Bush and Rummy
want no part in any responsibility, as the punishment if convicted, is
Death. But the national media has also played a huge part in creating an
atmosphere of hate and race-baiting around issues that did not initially
exist: This tends to be the case whenever any nation totally lies about the
wars they initiate - then continues to lie when it all begins to fall
apart. That was why America created the Nuremberg Tribunals after WWII - to
establish responsibilities and to punish those who made the war crimes
possible, along with those who did the killing. (That included the Nazi
Media then) Today this would be FOX News, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, and yes PBS, all
of whom have lied repeatedly, whether by misdirection, by omission or
simply by parroting the administration's lies.
If those US soldiers, sailors,
airmen, or marines are ever charged, in any of the ongoing investigations:
then their superiors (at the very top) must also be charged for the
policies they created - Policies that in reality led directly to the murder
and sometimes rape and torture, of all those that have been slaughtered so
indiscriminately. Also these "leaders" should be charged for
placing targets on the backs of all Americans, both in and out of uniform -
because by insuring that their polices are carried out - that is exactly
where those actions have taken us all!
That none of this has willingly been
discussed, as topic number one in America - during this Primary election
season - speaks volumes about a people who are supposed to care about what
is being done in their names. Americans are a people that profess to care
about humanity around the world. Maybe that only applies to those people
that we are not currently killing.
It certainly isn't true of what
Americans are doing to every man, woman and child in Palestine - that would
be an entire people that we intend to starve into submission to those same
failed policies that we have adhered to in Iraq and Afghanistan.
If America were one-tenth the
nation that we claim to be - then the public would have demanded the
removal of Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rice, and all the members of this cabinet as
a prelude to impeachment: But we
can't even openly discuss the truth anymore - because the fascist state now
frowns on all conflicts with their policy.
America is no longer a nation;
we've become nothing but a bunch of self-absorbed seekers after
money-and-power-at-any-price. The citizens of the USA that have approved
the actions of this president have forfeited the right to call themselves
humans. The rest of the world sees what we do everyday and they are largely
disgusted by the fact that people here will not call this government to
account. People simply can't stomach the treason and the treachery the USA
now practices around the world, nor should they. Americans have become
gutless-wonders who have given over their very lives into the hands of
treasonous murders-for "protection" of all things! How sick is
that?
Some have said that nothing bad
would happen on 666 - a fascinating comment: If by "nothing" they
meant progress toward taking back the country, then I would agree. But this
election milestone is saying to America and to the World, far more than
anyone still alive will want to hear: It is saying that America has lost
its heart, and lost both its courage and its soul, if indeed this country
ever had one!
