The President That Wasn't

 Turning Back the Clock

 

 

More than likely we will eventually come to find out that there was nothing at all that was legal about the Bush presidency, that both elections were tampered with as well as the courts who sustained them, and that 9/11 was a plot to have him re elected and send the country to war, giving the unelected "president" his expanded powers while making billions, if not trillions in profit for friends and family and for their political war chest and for their dirty tricks slush funding. Vast right wing conspiracies require vast fundraising. And these are people who are used to spending our own taxes against us by way of unknown intelligence and military budgets.

 

Consider this; that if George W. Bush's presidency was illegal from the start, that nothing he has done while in office is legal. No appointment, no nomination, no law signed into being, no signing statement, no action ordered by this so called president would be at all legal, since he wasn't legally elected, and since he acted illegally in so many circumstances. It essentially means that apart from new laws enacted to the contrary, legally, we would be altogether returned to a time before Bush held office. His every order as a "Commander and Chief" was treason, and perhaps espionage.

 

The people should be prepared to defend the Constitution whenever our government fails to do so, this is clearly stated in our Constitution. What all of this will will mean is that there is an inevitable fight ahead to take back the political ground gained illegally for and by the republican party, and that the temptation will be to simply have more back room deal making where someone allows the right wing extreme to keep something stolen from We the People in exchange for not making them work so hard on some pet project. That means that we will have to be prepared to hold Congress' feet to the fire in order to get back all of the stolen goods. In many ways, it is the American people who lead their government and not the other way around. At least whenever we feel up to the challenge of leadership by the majority as opposed to deferring to the millionaires club in Washington. When the pressure is on, they have to  listen to us.  When it's off they apparently listen to anyone but us. The propaganda machine of the vast right wing conspiracy will continue to pour out their lies into our social network, and it will be for the liberals to rise to the challenge, not of creating counter propaganda, but of anti propaganda, educating the public about how propaganda works to derail facts, and even reason itself.  

 

One of the worst things to happen to this nation, and which contributed to our current state of affairs, is that we were lulled into complacency after we got rid of Nixon and ended the Viet Nam war. We should have gone after these same people then, Nixon himself referred to George Herbert Walker Bush as a "ruthless little bastard." But the nation was anxious to heal, anxious to regain it's better reputation in the eyes of the world. The problem is that the nation didn't heal, only a quick fix of it's symptoms occurred, the disease remained, and the better reputation we regained wasn't at all deserved. Abuses of human rights and civil rights were still occurring long after the Church committee had revealed some scant portion of them. There can be no more doubting what will happen if we let this conspiracy go again. The next time we'll be in for the fight of our lives, and it just may be that neither the nation, nor even the world will survive it. Control freak dictators never resolve to learn their lessons, they have every intention of giving them at the earliest opportunity and every opportunity thereafter, and the lessons are always for good people to fear them. This nation and this world must endeavor to prevent such future occurrences at every turn. The old adage about Nazism hasn't changed, nor has it ever declined in it's importance. "We must never forget. We must always remember."  And it has long been my contention that the real Nazi conspiracy in this nation has long depended upon it's loosed Operation Paperclip Nazis and MKULTRA to undermine our Constitution, and it's form of government which is majority rule. It maintains minority rule by preventing the majority from thinking clearly, from thinking freely. We have to tell them every day "It's the fascism, stupid."

 

We cannot afford to continue to give aid and comfort to the enemies of our Constitution, and to the people who are really trying to destroy our way of life, our way of life which has always been first and foremost, to be free. Free to be Muslims, free to be liberals, free to be protestors, free to speak, free to publish, and free to think for ourselves. Freedom is more than the hallmark of being an American, it's a litmus test.  Growing up in my house one frequently heard the old saying, "I might not agree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."

 

An  editorial which I wrote for a newsletter in 1984 on the occasion of Independence Day comes to mind. It was entitled The Great American Fighting Spirit. "We fight everything", I wrote, "we fight bacteria, tooth decay and body odor. We fight going to bed when we're young and getting up when we're old. That's why people come from everywhere to be here. It's the home of the great American fighting spirit." Of course there wasn't any need to mention to my readers how we got that way. We're born freedom fighters. We cut our teeth on the notion that it is both our right and our duty to remain free at all costs. I was only seven years old when I drank deeply from the immortal words of Patrick Henry who said, "Give me liberty or give me death."  To an American patriot, I noted, freedom meant more than life itself. We began this democracy with a fight for freedom, and our founding fathers were quick to advise future generations that it would be a never ending fight to remain free, whether from threats from without or from within. As long as we had our most precious gift of freedom, there would always be those who would be eager to steal it. It is our great failure not to have understood the abnormal psychology of dictators who would do just that if we let them. Instead we fell for all of their illusions. It is not riches and fame which makes good men, evil men may have both. And often do, at least until they have gone too far and been discovered for just who and what they really are, evil, deranged men.

 

Torture, secret prisons, no right to a fair trial, lies, cover ups, unjust wars and atrocities. How is it that we failed to know such men by their works? As if they could be good enough in some other ways while committing crimes against humanity itself? Make no mistake about it, America won't regain any of it's credibility in the world until we prosecute these criminals to the fullest extent of the law. And the government will only continue to lose credibility with the American public as well until it begins to clean up it's own back yard.

 

 

Good article about how and why we need to take back all of the political ground stolen from us by the vast right wing conspiracy:
