At last. Now you're on the right track. Yes, my fiends it all revolves around a four letter word. Coup. And if you think what you've seen so far of the ultra right in America is bad the future these dickheads have prepared for you is much, much worse. Of course elephantman thinks this kind of homicidal treason is on par with a 'sluge hauling contract'. He just doesn't get it and probably never will because he doesn't want to. But I think some people at the top might just be waking up to the fact that it's an 'us or them' situation. These criminals all need to be sent to the Hague but they won't be. Failing that they need to be prosecuted in the US as soon as humanly possible. Their grand fascist plan doesn't rival Watergate, it makes it look like a pre-school birthday party. Losing an election (should they not be able to rig it) doesn't matter to these people. The plan stays in place to be implemented at some future date. Like the Iraq war, for example. The whole clique needs to be dismantled from top to bottom, the way they did with the Nazis. I favour Chalmers Johnson's plan: abolish the CIA and turn all intelligence gathering over to the State Department and take all purely military matters out of the hands of the Pentagon. In short, take back the government from criminals, anarchists, war profiteers, drug runners and money launderers.
What you describe as "a black eagle reminiscent of the Nazi symbol" looks to me to be just a silhouetted version of the eagle in the official seal of the U.S. National Security Agency. Eye of the beholder, I guess.
Once we accept the fact that our beloved system of government went away when Cheney picked himself to be VP then maybe we can wake up and start taking back our country!
That slimey son-of-a-bitch (his mother must not have loved him enough) was positioning himself since he hooked up that other Benedict Arnold - aka Rumsfeld - during the NIXON administration.
Undoubtedly (sp?) Clinton has his own dirty secrets, as well as Bush Sr., but let's not let that stop us from in depth investigations into how FUKC'D we really are in regards our Civil Liberties and Constitutional "rights".
PS - George, you really are a self-important, sanctimonious, delusional prick.
should you be surprised to be nibbled to death?
if you give great power to a body of people, should you be surprised if they use it for their own advantage? if you allow them the power to work in secret, should you be surprised if they do things you would not wish to happen?
the notion that a small guild of people can be trusted to run the state for the benefit of all has no logical foundation. why then be surprised to see these people acting as humans always do?
there is no surprise here. the bush regime is not unique, and might not be even the worst, merely the most coarse and unconcerned with superficial appearances. consequently, a change in personnel will have no significant result in american political culture. america will continue to be a nation ruled by an elite. the elite will be driven by the usual lust for greater power, greater wealth and, when some orc like cheney gets a seat in the cockpit, the lust will be for deeper personal goals, better described by psychiatrists.
people who are unhappy with the way things things are going in the 'land of the free' had better lift their attention away from the celebrities in the beltway, long enough to ask: "why don't we have democracy?"
indeed, they should ask, "why am i sitting here wringing my hands and crying 'woe, woe! when i should be working actively to bring citizen initiative into control of the nation."
So you all blog, People are making You tube videos of themselves doing stupid things and your worrying about your abut privacy?
Considering my experience with government employees, I have little doubt they could even processall this information let alone alone exchange it with other agencies without dated computer programs.
I think the paranoids and covert conspiracy freaks were let out today.
PARANOIA WILL DESTROY YA!
The Salon article on massive surveillance and data mining by NSA reveals once more that the political elites in this country care nothing about constitutional principles. I also reviewed the transcript of the Amy Goodman intervies of Cass Sunstein and Glenn Greenwald. Mr Sunstein is an adviser to Senator Obama, who, as we all know, voted in favor of the bill granting immunity to the Telecomm companies. Sunstein reputedly is one of our leading constitutional lawyers. He finds nothing reprehensible in the kind of conduct that leads to massive spying by the government against its people. He avoids the issues raised by Greenwald by implying Greenwald is having an "emotional" response to the lawbreaking of the government and its corporate friends. I also read the article that lays out how AT&T is providing millions to the Democratic party to fund their conventions with the quid pro quo of getting "access" to Senators and Representatives and highly placed people in the Obama camp. I am sure that in the interest of giving the appearance of being "clean" Obama himself will not talk directly to AT&T. I am also quite sure that no direct contact is necessary for AT&T to get satisfaction for the money donated. After all Obama has already made a down payment by reversing his stand on the FISA bill. What is truly astounding is that Greenwald, having all of the information about how these games are played, continues to say he supports and will defend Obama. You can pile sleaze on top of sleaze in American politics, and the good liberal types will merrily support a system that is corrupt, degrading, and a direct attack on the essential principles of constitutional government. And of course they will continue to support the individuals-Obama-who are the current representatives of that corruption.
Much of the initial coverage about Fort Hood turned out to be wrong. Is there anything wrong with that?
The accountability imposed by another country for the CIA's kidnapping and torture reveals much about our own.
Fox News' morning show plays to type, talking about whether Muslims in the Army should face "special debriefings"
The survivor and author is upset about comparisons some on the right are making to genocide
Once seen as a lunatic fringe, reactionary anti-women groups are courting respectability
