This down-bound train that used to seen as the American-way-of-life,
just picked up speed and is approaching the last remaining scraps of what
formerly was constrained by the sound barrier of our laws-laws that were
once thought of as being our final real protection against exactly these
wars that are all crimes against the world.
"Recent scientific polls that show around 84% don't believe the
government's explanation behind 9/11 and others confirming the fact that
support for the war in Iraq is at an all time low have led the Bush
administration to sharpen their knives against the new breed of perceived
'enemy propagandists,' bloggers, journalists and online
activists who dissent against the 'war on terror.' " Government Targets American Bloggers as Enemy Propagandists. (1)
None of this is really new in concept; we were all warned in George
Orwell's novel 1984. The massive difference between the science-fiction
novel and reality today has been the internet-that same piece of
technology that has enabled global thefts of inconceivable proportions,
has also made each of us a potential target of whichever 'state' we might
live within. In 1984 there were three equal adversarial 'states' in perpetual war with each
other. But thanks to the internet, actions on the far-side of
the world today can be instantly communicated to the rest of the planet,
so the creators of the bush-league aggressors decided that they did not
need this conceit. Instead they 'decided' that the world could indeed be
'grabbed' by a single group of new and outright owners. The proof of the
global nature of this effort is in the 'new rules' being propagated by The
European Union. Europe Moves to Kill the Internet. (2)
To further prop up the currently illegitimate US government - Mr. Bush
finally signed the Military Commissions Act. (3) This document pardons all
those who committed war crimes under orders from Rummy, Cheney or Bush,
and this nasty piece of twisted legislation also reinterprets the meaning
and definitions contained in the universal language of war, along with a
complete re-write concerning any and all prisoners 'taken' in this
war-without end. Just as in 1984, the New World Order is calling for
never-ending war to achieve never-ending peace. There is one weird detail
however, that no doubt someone in the Tarnished House will soon correct:
There really is only one war, not two. There is only the Bush
War-upon-the-World.
Phrases like the War-on-Terra, vs. The War-against-Al Qaeda are
becoming too confusing to support: but this triviality should be corrected, just as soon as Karl Rove finds the time.

And, there is the new National ID Card that is scheduled to become
active in May of 2007, complete with its own microchips, and all other
necessary intrusions into everyday life that will make every American a
walking treasure trove of personal and private information, that will have
to be used to purchase anything; or to go anywhere at any time ~ say
goodbye to all that's left of the still smoldering US Constitution...
This little piece of Insecurity legislation was signed into law on May
10, 2005, and almost no one noticed because it was to have been funded by
the individual states. This will cost billions per state, so critics
decided that it would be too costly to implement, and therefore no one
really needed to worry about something so far in the future-yet that
'future' is just around the corner now, and that's only the tip of the
dagger being used against the citizens of this country.
From a nation designed for individual ambitions with real protection
from religious and political tyranny by either the government or any
religious doctrines-we have finally sold the last of our most cherished
protections to a bunch of bandits, for their perennially broken promises,
for some tattered form of 'security' - in exchange for the core values in
our formerly natural lives.
Even the idea of this obscenity is a stain upon free and 'responsible'
people but especially those, who have by their silence, caused these
crimes to become a part of world history.
"And at this late juncture we have a president,
vice
president,
and a Republican Congress who say they would do it again. Think about the
madness of that statement. They would do it again.
If that doesn't send a chill down your spine, you have no feelings
left. Somewhere between 50,000-650,000 dead, some of them in the most
brutal ways imaginable. For absolutely nothing. And they would do it
again.
If you vote for any of these guys again, you are one hundred percent
guilty. You are voting for men and women who say they would make the same
horrific choices again. They have warned you of how unimaginably callous
and barbaric they are - and if you vote for them again, you are no better
than they are. This is a democracy. What our leaders do, we do. If we
break it, we own it. Now, it's up to you. Are you going to send these guys
back in to make the same mistakes they promise to make again?" (4)
This may only be 'another day in the Empire'-but sooner or later each
of us will be tracked and our actions will need to be answered for-just as
in 1984. Yet 'fear' is hardly reason-enough to deny this country a
natural place in the world, or a reason to leave your children with only
various forms of prison, instead of a real future. Other nations are
beginning to stand up against the tyranny now; yet we, as the one nation
most responsible for allowing these madmen to run free in the world - we
still refuse to believe what is happening right before us, each and every
day or our lives! What happened to all that 'stuff' about what we told the
world we stood for? Was that conditional, or just a something earned by
previous generations, to be used-as-needed, instead of needing to be
earned again-by those who have never missed a meal-ever!
