"The

of peace
they
do not
know
and there is no justice in their goings,
they have made them crooked paths.
Justice is turned away backward,
and righteousness stands afar off;
for truth is fallen in the street,
and uprightness
can not
enter."

"Deluded
people:
You
must understand that there exists
a conspiracy in favor of despotism
and against liberty; incapacity
against talent; of vice against
virtue; of ignorance against
light! It is formed in the depths
of the most impenetrable darkness,
a society is to rule the world,
to appropriate the authority
of sovereigns, to usurp their
place."
Marquis
de Luchet, 1789

“Money
is the barometer of
a society’s
virtue. When you see
that trading is done,
not by consent, but
by compulsion —when
you see that in order
to produce, you need
to obtain permission
from men who produce
nothing — when
you see that money
is flowing to those
that deal, not in
goods, but in favors—when
you see that men get
richer by graft and
pull tan by work,
and your laws don’t
protect you against
them, but protect
them against you — when
you see corruption
being rewarded and
honesty becoming self-sacrifice —you
may know that your
society is doomed.”
— Ayn
Rand (from "Capitalism:
The Unknown Ideal")
For
some reason — perhaps
it's just the passing
of time — it
has now become somewhat
fashionable — or
at least permissable — to
criticize the utterly
insane, totally criminal
and horrifically
inhuman performance
by what is known colloquially
in Washington these
days as the Bush
Administration.
Yet
because of the
eager cheering of
the television networks
covering up bestial
carnage by U.S.
troops upon hapless
citizens of defenseless
countries, and the
continuing lawless
behavior of those
in charge of our
nation's laws, nothing
significant has
yet been accomplished
by those throwbacks
like you and me
still clinging to
the faded, prostituted
dream of liberty
and justice for
all upon which our
country was ostensibly
founded.
True,
there has been
some tongue-wagging
about how America
dropped its radioactive
torture on Afghanistan
and Iraq after telling
whoppers of lies
that never would
have gone unchallenged
in an eighth-grade
debate class, but
nevertheless managed
to hold spellbound
the entire American
populace while
these evil massacres
took place.
But
the identification
of the nub of the
problem that has
turned America from
a promising melting
pot of financial
and social opportunity
into a grim gulag
of greed and graft
is still very far
from happening.
And
it may never happen.
It never has yet.
All those famous
crimes we all talk
about have never
been solved. At
least no actual
perpetrator has
ever been charged,
though a few convenient
patsies have been
executed.
The
intense flag waving
and hyped-up security
measures — accompanied
by the flaunted but
bogus claims of less
liberty means more
safety — continue
to inhibit public
debate on these matters,
as is evidenced by
the focus on irrelevant
issues by the current
pack of Democratic
presidential panderers,
who like the rest
of the country, are
simply too insincere
to admit that behind
the red, white and
blue bunting lies
a bloodthirsty beast
which is now cannibalizing
even its own citizens
in its desperate
effort to sate the
infinite appetites
of the trillionaires
who run the war machine.
Sure,
questions are being
asked about the lies
used to justify the
wars, but the men
who do the lying continue
to victimize the folks
who do the dying,
both at home and abroad.
No one of any social
consequence in the
entire world has yet
seriously questioned
the single, suspicious
event that enabled — by
the patriotic mobilization
of public opinion — America
to come out of the
closet as a worldwide
murder-for-hire operation.
And
amid talk of treasonous
illegal procedure
in the outing of
an ambassador's
wife who may have
been a CIA operative,
there still is no
discussion of the
core issues that
have catapulted
this relatively
trivial matter to
the top of the the
newscasts. The criminals
have yet to be caught,
because, unfortunately
for everyone, they
are the ones who
are running the
police and the army,
not to mention the
TV networks and
major newspapers.
But
foremost among
the silently complicit
are the brainwashed
American people,
who accept their
watered down news
like the prisoners
they are, eating
pathetic bioengineered
gruel from cardboard
boxes in their
sad towns with abandoned
department stores,
no decent jobs,
and starving senior
citizens.
How
is it that wide-eyed
young journalists
can graduate from
America's finest
colleges (not Harvard;
that's an Israeli
school now) and
know about U.S.
troops laughing
during target practice
on unarmed Iraqi
civilians and simply
turn their heads
away and not write
those stories because
they accept the
perverted propaganda
of national security
justifying the
massacre of innocent
civilians?
How
is it that churchgoing
American parents can
let their beloved
children put on their
proud uniforms when
they know — or
should know! — that
those kids are going
to be cursed with
lifelong diseases
caused by the vaccines
they are forced to
take and the poisonous
ammunition they are
commanded to handle?
How
is that our most
respected statesmen
and religious leaders
can remain silent
when they know that
the evidence of
the biggest, most
horrendous crime
in American history
was deliberately
destroyed without
a thorough forensic
examination which
could have revealed
how that crime
was committed, can
remain silent when
their government
tells millions of
people that their
air is safe to
breathe when it
wasn't, can remain
silent when the
big pharmaceutical
companies give
court-ordered vaccinations
to children that
turn many of them
into vegetables,
and the grieving
parents can't even
sue the makers of
the poison?
How
is it that the
American people
can have available
to them infrared
footage of the Waco
massacre that shows
federal agents putting
bullets into the
heads of little
children, that they
can have documented
evidence of respected
generals explaining
how multiple bombs
were attached to
the stanchions of
that building in
Oklahoma City, that
they can see convincing
photographs that
prove that none
of the three planes
that took off full
of happy people
on that sunny morning
of September 11,
2001 were the same
planes that hit
their bloody targets
... how is it the
American people
can turn away from
these things and
not go ... ?
Those
well-meaning people
around the world
who carefully stipulate
that it's not the
behavior of the
American people
they object to,
but the behavior
of the American
government that
upsets them so ...
those people are
wrong.
Something
has curdled in
the American bloodstream.
Honesty
and integrity of
purpose are now
merely historical
relics in a seldom-visited
museum that now
also houses the
American Constitution.
Maybe
there are too many
nuclear power plants
reducing the number
of brain cells in
the typical American
cerebellum. Maybe
it's the food additives,
the antidepressants,
the electric power
lines, the cellphones,
HAARP, subliminal
images in advertising,
backward masking in
the music,
the elimination of
important historical
facts in our school
textbooks (anybody
know about the Santa
Clara decision? most
important law change
in American history),
the childhood immunizations,
the flouride in the
water ... this list
could fill a book.
And
everything on this
list, from aspartame
to phthlates, has
had a debilitating
effect on the American
psyche, warped
it in the minds
of our soldiers
from someone who
would protect and
defend the people's
God-given rights
to home and happiness
to someone who
mistakenly hallucinates
real people with
kerchiefs and lollipops
into lifeless figures
in a video game,
which become lifeless
figures on a forlorn
desert roadway quickly
forgotten on the
way back to camp
to get high.
Certainly
the schools have
something to do
with it, and the
media as well, as
both have altered
the American psyche
from one of compassionate
seeker of justice
to self-destructive,
self-hating narcissist.
Hmm,
sounds like somebody
we know, doesn't
it? Can you say
psycho-anal-y-sis?
And
we arrive the big
issue, the one
they call you an
anti-Semite for
talking about. Think
about it, my friends.
All the media, all
the schools, all
the hospitals,
all the movies,
the entire nation's
phone system. Much,
very much of the
government.
The
American mindset
has changed over
the past 40 years
from live and let
live to follow the
orders of our leaders,
even if we know
they are lying.
Did you ever wonder
why that happened?
Did you ever wonder
who did that?
Did
you ever wonder
who is working so
hard to turn our
teenage daughters
into prostitutes
on the covers of
national magazines
and the walkways
of our glittering
malls? Whom do
you suppose owns
those magazines,
those malls?
In
the same way we
took worthless land
in America and imprisoned
our continent's
original inhabitants,
now in Israel they
are building giant
walls to quarantine
the world's inconvenient
people, the ones
who used to own
that land before
it was stolen from
them. When these
same walls start
going up in America,
you'll know the
game is really over.
Right now, all we
have are numerous
chain-link fence
enclosures topped
with razor wire
ready to contain
our own inconvenient
people.
The
future of the United
States is already
scrawled in blood-soaked
grafitti on the
hearts of its cowardly
citizenry. Do not
resist. There is
nothing you can
do. Narc on your
neighbor.
American
Satyricon, the
story of an emperor
gone mad cheered
by a people gone
bad, wrapped in
the red, white and
blue called Old
Glory by some, but
called something
worse, something
very much worse
by most of the rest
of the world.
To
be continued — time,
the decaying biosphere,
and the sadistic
government permitting.
