- In George Orwell's "1984,"
a science-fiction classic in literature - the world was given a preview
of what has become 2006. Unfortunately too many of those who needed to
know about this Capitalistic plan for world domination either never read
the book, or considered that "it could never happen here." The
truth is that it has happened and it is continuing to unfold with every
day that passes without a spontaneous public outcry against the enormity
of the tyranny that this government is using to crush what remains of the
multi-racial, multi-class society that once called themselves Americans.
-
- That may sound ridiculous to many people,
yet there is a small but accurate example of this truth that has persisted
throughout the reign of George W. Bush & the Bandits that control his
administration. Shortly after the 2000 election was stolen, a bumper-sticker
appeared that said simply "BUSH KNEW!" People who displayed that
phrase sometimes worried that they might be fired for having such a political
statement on their vehicle - but that was not really the point. The statement
implied that because "Bush Knew" there should be consequences
- yet there was no congressional investigation, and no public outcry. Americans
just bought more flags, ignored the truth, and waited for someone else
to do what they should have individually demanded - because Treason may
have been committed by the leaders of their government. This was the beginning
of the fulfillment of the world of 1984 that allowed "Freedom"
to become "Slavery" in 2006. This was accomplished because a
docile public allowed "Ignorance is Strength" to triumph over
Freedom & Democracy!
-
- What has been steadily building, around
the world, since the end of the Cold War was not the much anticipated "Peace
Dividend" but was instead a rollback of everything accomplished by
the people of this society that dates back to the spontaneous groundswell
of those public rebellions in the 1880's that that led directly to more
individual rights for American worker's, for women's rights, and for the
rights of children along with a whole host of other issues that altered
the status of the then all powerful Robber-Barons of Capitalism. What the
New World Order is trying to finish today is their drive to re-write the
social and labor history of the planet, and to replace the rights of human
beings with the privatization of all public institutions and all government
programs, along with the elimination of any security at all among the working
class-while at the same time giving the multi-national Capitalists everything
they've ever dreamed of-and more, including a steady diet of tax breaks!
-
- New Orleans is a microcosm of what this
government is doing in Palestine, in Iraq and in Afghanistan, along with
a whole host of nations that have already fallen into the colonial status
of slave states where some of those 600 plus US bases are positioned around
the world. What government has decreed for the poor and the black population
of New Orleans is a scaled down version of how the ever-decreasing "Coalition
of the Willing" have treated the occupied states on whom we are currently
waging all out war. No water, no electricity, no sanitation, no housing,
and now bulldozers are being used in New Orleans to create the remaining
conditions necessary, for Capitalistic victories over the public's needs,
while every agency of the government is brought to bear in a vicious reversal
of the point and purpose for the existence of all those state and federal
agencies: Imagine if you can how much worse it is for all those other subjects
under US occupation on foreign soil - and given this - "1984"
becomes far less a fantastic-fantasy and far more of a deadly omen. (Please
see the notes below).
-
- For those who doubt the depth of the
truth being 'created' daily in what was once the United States of America:
there are deepening rollbacks being made by this Supreme Court that seek
to eliminate what little remains of the protections that citizens once
had from government. This is that same goverment that was supposed to protect
the people from a tyrannical and all powerful, but completely out-of-control
federal police state. I worked with both the National & California
District Attorney's Associations, as well as the Office of the California
Attorney General for roughly three years in the late 1970's. At that time
the hard right law & order crowd was pushing to eliminate the basic
rights of all Americans, to ensure more easily achievable and much more
successful prosecutions. This effort received a major push from Reagan
once he became president in 1980. "Terrorism" was even then a
foundation stone of his administration. I did this for The Forgotten Victims
of Violent Crime, back in 1979. (a Republican Project) http://www.kirwanesque.com/politics/california/cal9.htm
-
- With the recent decision by the highest
court in this land, the "rights" of most citizens when faced
with law-enforcement fantasies, have all but vanished. It's one thing when
a thug kicks in your door - but it's something else entirely when the police
state is free to act on whatever their tiny uniformed minds have contrived.
The reason for the need of a warrant should be obvious to the Supreme Court
- the fact that it isn't means the termination of the Fourth Amendment
and the death of any real 'justice' in the US. This change marks the formally
sanctioned beginning of total control over all aspects of civil society.
In "1984" there was no protection from the 24-7 monitoring of
all the citizens in that novel. It should be noted that total continuous
war was also used in "1984" to control the public. Today that
scenario is becoming all too real.
-
- In 2002 I wrote: "Our society is
one of blatant double standards. We have two-tiered systems for employment,
for compensation, for criminal justice, for morality and for ethics; indeed
for every area of our lives. Americans have come to accept the fact that
this country is a nation of double standards.
-
- In matters of politics, we have not kept
faith with even the most basic precepts of our democratic form of government.
How can such an outrageous thing be true? It's true because a democracy
requires the involvement of all its citizens, at every level of government,
and in all walks of life. That's just a fact, and it really doesn't depend
on the very busy schedules of the self-involved that simply haven't the
time to bother keeping up with what might be taking place in the nation
or the world. Moreover, politics is not just something that 'happens' every
couple of years- it's the base pattern for that fabric from which our very
existence is woven.
-
- The criminals who now run this nation
know this. The lobbyists who direct our national and international policies
know this. All those who benefit from the status quo of our current system
know this for the fact that it is. Apparently, the only people who do not
know this are the downtrodden wage-slaves and the imbeciles who blame the
government instead of themselves for the situation that we're now in.
-
- Politics is a contact sport. If one fails
to participate, then one cannot expect to have any voice in what can happen
because they failed to vote. Politics is complex and money-driven, and
again those who will not get involved cannot complain when they lose their
freedoms, their livelihood or their comfortable way of life.
-
- The nation needs to have a smaller, leaner,
more responsive and responsible government. Had this been the case, the
last presidential election couldn't have been so easily stolen. Make no
mistake- it was stolen openly and in full view of the entire nation. The
Supreme Court violated one of the most sacred tenets of the Constitution,
the Separation of Powers. The nation watched while 'journalists' sold us
out by not covering that theft as a high-jacking, preferring instead to
cover the story as a simple dispute between candidates.
-
- There were sub-plots within and beneath
this theft; one example being the disenfranchisement of 175,000 voters
in an election that was separated by only 537 votes. "Not a story"
said those who are charged with passing along 'the news' to the rest of
us. The fact that Congress has the legal responsibility for settling disputes
of this nature within their own chambers was never touched upon. The losing
candidate, who actually received the majority of votes, deserved to lose
because he would not challenge this public farce - and, thereby, he and
his party made meaningless the voting process itself.
-
- The Congress of the United States of
America is a grand title for a reputedly august body, responsible for making
the laws of the land. However, the facts of this Congress's record show
otherwise. This has been the worst congress on record in the last fifty
years; and, this in a time of 'war' with everybody who does not support
George W. Bush as our national pretender to a non-existent throne."
- Today in 2006 - The people of the USA
have now lost their privacy to a presidential imposter, a Privateer that
sits in the oval office who directed the National Security Agency to begin
secretly monitoring all our 'private' communications three years ago. No
findings have yet been made as to the legality of this outrageous political
over-reach of the Constitutional protections for ordinary people, from
the illegal stealth tactics of our rogue police-state. Our so-called government
has secretly altered its purposes to conform to the priorities of "Capitalism"
as their sole motivation - not national security, not the public's welfare,
just the Corporatocracy's unending wish-lists for finally achieving total
control.
-
- The United States of America is a failed
and dying state, because its government has been given license by the inattention
of its people to run roughshod over all that matters, in what was a real
and productive nation that others once looked to for leadership not-to-mention
freedom and democracy. Now, we are giving voice to the most unholy of the
double-speak phrases that were brought to light by George Orwell - namely
"Love is Hate." By releasing the pent-up hatreds in race and
religions around the planet, this international contagion of Capitalism
has fostered the ultimate in self-destruction between peoples, hypocrisy
between nations, and the continued descent into the hell of never-ending
wars, as their way to eliminate two-thirds of the world's population (as
Henry Kissinger called for so very long ago). To assist in this, Richard
Armitage a criminal of the Reagan era has just been appointed as Assistant
Secretary of State.(See notes) This will add to the others of that time
that were politically disinterred to serve in this outlaw government that
is determined to end the future for us all.
-
-
- However the choice is still ours - the
public allowed the Supreme Court to create these evil multi-national Capitalistic
Corporations. Reagan, Bush I, Clinton and now Bush II have unleashed them
as The New World Order. But Corporations operate under charters that can
be changed, and if enough members of the public demand change then that
power base could be dissolved. What if the shareholders were legally responsible
for whatever the major corporations do? These people directly profit from
the illicit actions of the multi-nationals: Yet the corporations are apparently
immune to the laws of any nation. What about the shareholders - they're
not legal constructs - they are people who can and should be sued; held
liable for whenever their money-making stocks are responsible for in the
hideous crimes committed by their giant corporate holdings. Why not force
those who enable the corruption to continue, to be personally liable for
that which they have chosen to support? If illicit profits are generated,
as they have been, then why are not the shareholders treated as complicit
in the entire affair?
-
- The nation is running out of money while
the corporations are subsuming the wealth of many nations; and the people
who must work for a living here - are being starved. The battle in the
1880's was over the rich and vicious extremes of business that made the
elite almost all powerful. The current battles now ought to be over the
indecent return of that Robber-Baron-Chasm between the super-wealthy and
the rest of us. It's come down to "us or them" now. The Question
is - are you still willing to let them continue to have their way with
you?
