They haven’t brought a single terrorist to trial; they haven’t proven anything against any of them; they haven’t even proven that any acts of terror have been done on U.S. soil since September 11, 2001. In fact, they have not even proven that said events were conducted by Islamic extremists. (The FBI, among other things, is currently investigating former U.S. military germ warfare experts – our own people – in the Anthrax terror.) Nor will we ever know because the Department of Justice has classified the entire 911 investigation. As far as that goes, the government hasn’t even established beyond the benefit of a doubt that all the above Executive Orders were even required. That alone is grounds for Impeachment – but, guess what, the U.S. Congress will never do it because they are part it. And you wonder why FEMA was created; or why the don Quixote Libertarians are so against it? There are times when FEMA is the last bastion of freedom; kind of like Social Security. Gist for mill.
This whole fiasco about Washington acting on superficial information about WMD’s in the U.S. invasion of Iraq is easily explained by the fact that all the higher ups in Washington are lawyers, who are trained to ignore their conscience. So there were no inhibitions whatsoever about acting as they did, so adept are lawyers at stifling the most basic inklings of doubt from within their soul. Everybody was easily swayed by Authority. The same thing is happening again, as the White House pressures everybody to publish rosy predictions on job growth – 3.2 million new jobs in 2004 was the latest prediction. The next day the number of people filing for unemployment went up. Can we believe anything Washington says now?
Is it any surprise that Iraq is turning into the kind of horror for America that Israel is for the Jews? Any war in which one untrained, uneducated man can destroy a million dollars worth of equipment can not ever be won. The terrorists are smart enough to know that America cannot ever, ever abandon Iraq because they have 45% of the world’s known reserves of oil. The politicians are starting to compare Iraq to Viet Nam, but there is no comparison at all other than the fact that it is a war we will not ever win on our own. All the Iraqi’s want is for the U.N. to take over ~ why is the U.S. so stubbornly opposed to that idea? Resistance is futile.
A high school student made some drawings of President Bush’s head skewed on a spear, to protest the war in Iraq. His teacher told the school principle, who told the FBI, who told the Secret Service, who turned it over to Homeland Security – who investigated. Lastly, the story made the CNN headline news on their website, and made a prominent example to every free thinking person in America. Of course, terrorists use this paranoia every day to pummel the stock exchanges all around the globe ~ what better motivation possible, for a dirt poor moron to know that when he dies in an act of terrorism, the net worth of the world will drop by tens of billions of dollars. If anything, the media treats terrorists kinder and gentler because they are in a formal war; the high school student has far less esteem in their eyes, what little he does have is by virtue of the newsworthiness of his story. People do not realize that the strength of democracy is the freedom to express ideas, whatever their content it’s part of the process of finding solutions. If anything, the more difficult the problem the greater should be the freedom of expression. The trend is dramatically in the opposite direction; thus, the problem of terrorism will not be solved ~ because the status quo does not want to solve them, as they serve their purposes nicely.
