Time for a Show of Cards
Sometimes you'd think that Washington believes the nation to be comprised solely of fools. They should get out more.
Politics are the business of changing opinions. There are a few honest ways to go about that, and more dishonest ways to do it than a body can count. Let me tell you that whenever a politician that I formerly believed in comes out and tells some fish story it breaks my heart. Because I know that I can never trust his word again. A man is only as good as his word, and that's doubly true of politicians, although at some point we all seemed to accept that lies are what gets people elected in the first place. In the court of popularity alone, sociopaths do quite well, where an honest man is often guaranteed to offend just about everyone at some time or another. People don't always want to hear the truth. The truth can hurt.
Martial arts are ninety percent mental. And to me that means that if you have a strong enough and intelligent enough of a mind you simply won't ever have to fight. But I guess it's best to be prepared for that one time out of ten that doesn't allow for a situation to be defused. You'd think that the government has the reverse philosophy of shooting first and asking questions much later. Too much later.
Is it appropriate to question the government in a time of war? You bet it is. There's never a better time to ask precisely why so many people will have to die. And our founding fathers secured for us the right to question our government about anything, because the government serves the people and not the other way around. Now if your servant went and shot somebody, wouldn't you ask them precisely why they did such a thing? Sure you would.
Ok, so now tell me this. If you're the one making decisions, and a home invasion robbery occurred, when should it end? If the Iraq war was about the oil, that's all it was, a home invasion robbery. Alright, so some of you might say, well, our intentions were better than that. Ok, then if the police took the battering ram to the wrong house because there was something wrong with the warrant, how long should they stay there? Look around while they're there? Stay around for some unspecified amount of time to make sure that they never have to come back to that house ever again? Stick around because you have to make sure that people don't fight over the mess that you've created?
Let's put a little common sense into matters. You can't begin with a crime and end up with justice, plain and simple. The Iraq war was criminal from the start, and you just will never ever turn that sow's ear into a silk purse. And much of the world has declared the Iraq war to have been criminal. We just don't get to hear about the meetings or the petitions signed by world's leaders that have declared the persons responsible for the war to be criminals. A matter of somebody's insecurity, I suppose. But it could be as important to national security that we do hear of such things, and perhaps much more so than the hush-hush we've been left with which seems to serve but a very few, and at the expense of hundreds of thousands of lives. Millions more if you count all the lives that will never be the same again.
What part of "Thou shalt not bear false witness" didn't this administration understand? And when did the illegal breaking down of someone's door justify hanging around to see what can be gained from it? Don't you look down from your ivory towers in Washington and think that all of us common folk are so stupid that you'll get away with insulting our intelligence forever. You know, a lot of people aren't common because they're stupid or ignorant, they're common because they're honest. If you can't bring yourself to lie, cheat, steal and backstab, you probably won't get far in the corporate world, or in government. And honest people don't make good butt kissers either. Common people are so unlike your pet sociopaths. Now, you may think me politically naive for thinking so highly of integrity and credibility, but every dog has his day, and there is no day in court like the one in which the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth really gets told. What a state of affairs we're in. "But your honor, the witness is a politician, and that goes to the heart of his credibility."
It's become apparent to the nation that Congress lives in some other world. And that they don't seem to care much about the world in which We the People live anymore, which is why their approval ratings are in the toilet. We common people of common sense can only sit back and wonder why our elected representatives aren't protecting us from "the high and mighty" fat heads. Are they too intimidated, or too corrupt? It's one or the other unless you can sit all the way through another song and dance, or hold your nose and say how sweet a red, white and blue bannered wagon full of horse pucky can smell, especially in the misty morning hours when the truth has dawned. As for me, well, I used to live next to one of the nation's largest dairy preserves, I know BS when I smell it. No brag, just fact. Likewise regarding the suitable MKULTRA propaganda metaphor also contained therein. No brag, just fact. Experience, after all, is the best teacher, as they say. I highly doubt that the government would have taught me so much about such matters if they hadn't been so confident that I could meet an early demise. But to put this quite frankly, I'm not as dumb as the government looks. MKULTRA placed it's bets, and I placed mine. It's time for a show of cards. Since my dimwitted opponent chooses not to share his hand, it's time to examine the deck. The game was rigged. It's just that I know how to read marked cards too. And I knew about those extra aces up his sleeves.
Here's the whole damned scam in a nutshell. Operation Paperclip's MKULTRA is behind everything in the executive branch, behind NASA, the NSA, the CIA, and just about everything the executive branch touches including the DoD and the DoJ. And with it's illegal surveillance, has even become a cancer inside Congress, some of whose members may have been blackmailed, corrupted, or intimidated with their worst fears for having been themselves targets of illegal surveillance. About which, of course, the executive branch doesn't want anyone to know anything at all. And all of this has been going on for a very long time. I'll leave you, the reader, with these words from what would have been, should have been, a sort of New Camelot:
"The high office of President has been used to foment a plot to destroy the Americans freedom, and before I leave office I must inform the citizen of his plight."
John Fitzgerald Kennedy, Columbia University, 10 days before his assassination.

If knowledge is power, in this case, where is it? The dimwits are the ones in power! I think we have no hope, we are at their mercy and I know they don't have any!
