Madam Speaker,
You have chosen to overlook the
responsibilities that go with your office, and the obligations that go
with your title. The constitution gave the House of Representatives the
sole power to bring impeachment charges against any officer of the federal
government-yet you have chosen to deny the people of the United States the
right to bring impeachment charges against the highest officers of this
government. You do not have the right to come between the people and their
government.
The constitution also gave the
power over the purse strings for the federal government to the congress;
again-neither you nor the congress had the right to "give away that
right" to the administrative branch of government; which you did when
the congress (of which you were a part), granted The Decider his
License-to-Kill, immediately after 911. What must now be done IMMEDIATELY,
is that congress must tear up that license and take back your powers to
check the administration-which would bring back control over the wars, to
the congress and to the people of the United States: which would put an
end to the Dictatorship-of-the-Decider. This is the only way to begin to
end this nightmare that has cost us over 500 billion dollars, and only god
knows how many lives-so far!
You have said that you will not
cut the funding for the war because that would mean the congress would
"not be supporting the troops." That is a conceit meant to
justify continuing with business as usual-and for the record that's a lie!
If congress supported the troops they would remove The Decider and his
failed cabinet for not only non-performance, but for incompetence as well
as the tyranny under which he led this nation into both those wars in the
first place. Nine-Eleven was a crime, not an act of war, and everything
that flowed from that almost immediate decision by the Bandits has enabled
virtually every crime that has come directly from that first mega-lie.
Virtually all these events have contributed to the bankruptcy of the
nation and the destabilization of the planet - and this comes down to the
failure of congress to check the colonial and dictatorial passions of the
Gang-in-Power now.
It was the job of congress to
protect this nation from internal enemies, as much as it was your
responsibility to protect Americans from foreign powers and you failed by
refusing to differentiate between the commission of a civil crime of greed
and power from an outright international act of war. No discussions took
place, no debates were held: The Decider told us what to think, and
congress followed lock-step-in near unanimity. Now you're the Speaker-and
if you do not act to bring about corrections for these crimes in which you
participated-then there will be hell to pay!
For your information you should
also re-review the record of exactly what has happened since 911. The
election of 2000 was stolen, and between the inauguration and nine-eleven,
The Decider had already begun to re-write all the agreements and compacts
which the US had been a signatory to. This included everything from Global
Warming to the Geneva Conventions. After that black September day you
granted the presidency an open ended agreement for total and unlimited
warfare, not on an enemy but upon an idea!
How did he manage the wars or the
policies of the United States in the six years since he's been The
Decider-in effect the CEO in charge of everything that could be called
part of "the interests" of the United States? George W. Bush has
failed repeatedly in each and every aspect of every single thing he has
undertaken-again & again-yet congress has continued to go along and
has yet to question anything that The Decider has done. No hearings, no
serious investigations were ever held: Katrina, Abu Ghraib, the
never-ending SECRECY, the paranoia, the spying by this government that now
includes White House claims of privacy over the visitor's logs maintained
by the Secret Service over those who visit the White House. The White
House is the People's House, and those documents belong to the people of
the United States-those records are not now and have never been the
private property of any of our government's servants. The White House is
ours the Decider is just a renter, passing through. (*)
Look at what has happened to the
world's most-super power. The Decider and his advisors took the most
expensive armed force in history and systematically destroyed it. We lost
a full third of our mechanized vehicles in the full speed rush (through a
massive desert sand-storm) to topple Baghdad. And we continue to lose
weaponry and vehicles to the hopelessly inept military policies of people
who have no knowledge of anything military-because they each dodged their
military responsibilities when their time came. In fact the only thing the
administration's personnel have in common is that they all lie and attempt
to avoid all responsibility for anything. The other massive costs
associated with the wars have been the massive frauds created by Cheney
and his companies in their bogus "secret-no-bid contracts" with the
government for everything from the delivery of mail, to food service and
recreation. On the civilian side there was the re-construction of
electrical facilities, drinkable water, sanitation, hospitals, schools, or
even general security to allow protection of the conquered to leave their
houses-none of which happened-hell it's no wonder we cannot win in this
situation. These things didn't happened just here and there, it was policy
that the contractor's couldn't be forced to produce in combat situations,
yet they were to be paid anyhow. Had any of this been investigated at
all-Cheney would in jail on charges of corruption, theft, war-profiteering
and a huge list of other crimes.
While Cheney wasn't alone in this
theft of multi-billions, he is the highest ranking official who is visibly
culpable, and criminally liable. Yet no one has even suggested that he
could be questioned, much less charged with any crimes. And you say that
impeachments are out-of-the-question: or "off the table" as you
put it? Explain that to the American public!
One thing has become crystal
clear from all of these crimes of greed and arrogance: No one who has a
million dollars should be allowed to hold any government office in the
United States of America. Of course this won't be allowed to become law,
because the same people who would have to approve this are the same people
who are the millionaires in question: most of them members of congress!
But -in Central and South America, that is exactly the kind of grass-roots
thing that has begun to take root. After a hundred years of invasions and
colonial rule, the people there figured it out: the rich do NOT make good
leaders because all they care about is more money and more power-purchased
at the expense of the public they were supposed to represent against those
foreign powers that routinely come to steal their countries and their
lives. The primary offender therein is and was the USA.
This "thought-form" may
not be possible at this time, but the idea will grow, and with it the time
frame for leadership by the filthy-rich will continue to shrink. It's way
past time for you and your fellow congressional people to get to work and
begin to do what you were elected to do-which is to rid this country, and
the world, of the Dictatorship that now owns everything we used to call
our own!
One more thing Madame Speaker,
please spare us all the embarrassment of everything that has to do with
political parties because that is another failed fiction. Neither
political party in the US allows freedom of speech or public gatherings
that disagree with what the formal party gatherings want the world to see.
There is no opposition coming from any elected group, because almost all
politicians are owned by the same financial backers. That favorite theme
of "the Party Platform" has no teeth, and becomes obsolete the second "the
selection" is over. But the most outrageous thing about politics in
America is that Americans are not allowed to hold political opinions that
disagree with those currently in-charge: and it matters not at all which
"party" is in office. The insult that adds to this injury comes
when you introduce terms like "bi-partisanship" or that's
"playing politics": for the record: Even the act of breathing is
political!
The money that supports all of
you-is the same money that sends our jobs offshore, cuts our retirement,
slashed our social benefits, destroyed education, paved, drilled and
polluted the environment into borderline conditions that now threaten the
entire planet, and is murdering all life in the waters of the world. That
money is the same money that supports the censorship of anything that is
not in agreement about entertainment content, books, radio or television,
that might attempt to throw any light on what's really going on. The media
under the FCC must be reconfigured so that there is an actual public
guardian involved in keeping the airwaves of America open to more than one
thought or one opinion, especially "during a time of war." "Everybody
Knows" this is true-but until you and your people begin to do
their jobs, this totally censored and nearly fascistic dictatorship will
only get worse.
One footnote: The flaw in the
ointment of Absolute Power-ruling absolutely is that all people will be
affected by the results of the global designs of the New World
Order-because these criminal policies will decimate the filthy rich as
well. It's happened hundreds of times in history when the rich thought
they could control everything only to be killed by their own house
servants, or destroyed by the complete collapse of the economies they
destroyed because, in their lust for power, they killed off too many of
the talented people who kept things working.
Listening to your public
pronouncements is painful because in many ways you are so clueless. The
handwriting is on every wall in blood, yet you proceed as though this was
Norman Rockwell's 1957 instead of The Decider's 2007. The Decider has had
hundreds of chances to "get-it-right" in Iraq but all he has succeeded in
doing is to have wrung the worst possible outcome from every opportunity
that he's been given: having produced in that process the very things he
said we were going to war to prevent! If this were a company and he was
CEO-you'd be a major member of the Board of Directors. Name one company
that has ever existed in which a total failure was allowed to stay in
office after six full years of total and utter FAILURE! That's six years
of near total monetary collapse, (the largest public debt ever in history)
a country that outsources all its best jobs while entering into contracts
to destroy what remains of its own work force, and at the same time tries
to drive away the few people left who manage to survive the onslaughts
created to steal whatever might be possibly left to steal.
This same fictitious company has
completely perverted the so-called "justice" system along with the courts,
not to mention the completely sold-out congress of the United States.
Congress approved each and every criminal now in office: ironically the
criminals probably outnumber the non-criminals, in the upper levels of
this administration-yet no questions are ever asked.
You have a huge job to do Nancy
and half-measures won't make the grade. So far you've been too cute by
half, and not nearly tough enough to matter to anyone very much. You want
to go down in history-then be prepared to get dirty and lose a few of
those overly involved and financially interested "advisors" that
brought you to this point. This is not a corporation, this is a flesh and
blood nation on the edge of real and lasting anger over what has happened
to this country. Changes are needed, and you're the Woman-of-the-Hour. The
public has been waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting
for The Decider to decide to decide what to do. Pre-empt him, tear up his
License -to-Kill, cut off all his supplemental spending, charge his Vice
President with the crimes he's involved in, and since his incompetent
commanders will not have the money: the troops will have to come home.
That would be how this government should "Support the Troops"!
Do it now because we've all waited overlong to end this nightmare NOW!
Jim Kirwan
