Torment & Laughter tend to trip not so lightly through our everyday lives as reminders of the variety and the pleasures that ordinary life is made of.
 
 Our ‘future’ was once such a gleaming possibility, in the not so distant past, that it actually seemed possible that we might have a chance to live ‘in’ it as ourselves and enjoy it, not only for ourselves but for our children as well. Then somewhere along the way we let paranoia, ignorance and greed take away even the possibility that was supposedly inherent in the lives we had each chosen to live.
 
 I saw this begin in the nineteen-fifties with my first exposure to the national-paranoia that was known as Communism. This was the Petrie-dish in which the Outlaws played out their fantasies of global-domination through terror and the latent fear of anything that was not familiar. This had come directly from the imprisoning of the Japanese Americans during WWII, which also crushed the Constitution (for some) but not for others. The government apologized decades later for what was done to the Japanese who were interned as enemy-aliens ­ but that damage was done and it was capitalized on when the RED-SCARE came along after WWII.
 
 During this period (of the global fear of Communism) millions of sleeper cells were supposed to have existed, and millions of enemy agents were supposed to be hiding in the USA, just waiting to attack this country or to sabotage us from every possible angle. As it turned out there were NO PHYSICAL-EVENTS, to warrant all this absolutely national paranoia. This nation spent tens of trillions of dollars, for over fifty years to protect this country from an external attack from the air or the sea, as well as the land—but absolutely nothing ever happened: UNTIL 911, when the US and Israel attacked America on American soil. So on the one day when the entire Air Defense System of the USA, under the command of NORAD, did NOT WORK; we were magically attacked by people without a country or even weapons of their own which were somehow able to defeat our super-sophisticated defenses, defy interception by the world’s most powerful Air Force, and succeed where no one else could even dream of going? And today eleven years after that event the government that FAILED us then has still never explained this to the public who paid not just for 911, but for all the wars that were generated directly from that attack!
 
 The RED-MENACE evaporated when the Berlin Wall came down; and humanity world-wide was supposed to have gotten at least a decade of peace, to celebrate our freedom and that victory. Instead the New World Order unleashed the invisible-TERRORISTS to threaten and enslave the entire planet.
 
 Way back in 1964, when I was doing an expose on LBJ, long before computers were even a wet dream there were over 6,000 security agencies in this country (a huge number for such a peaceful time). Today every post-office box that calls itself a business or an agency has its own SECURITY FORCE (because of this mythical wave of TERROR) that has seized the world and continues to hold the whole planet hostage to a phantom-force. (1)
 
In America today we are now under attack by our own government; and everything is in-place for troops and tanks to begin patrolling the streets and highways of the whole nation. But since we don’t have the troops or the tanks to do this job—yet, this version of Marital Law is only another paper-tiger, for the moment. When Obama introduced us to his “Peacetime-Martial-Law” he tried to explain it as being “needed” to maintain order during some mythical emergency that he says is immanent. That might happen, but in the meantime this government has demanded that the entire nation surrender all its rights, its property, its jobs and its people to the Police-State that has taken over the Republic. Why would Americans surrender to the government that is supposed to protect them from any force, “either foreign or domestic” ­ all the things that any foreign invader would also have demanded from a captured “America”? The point is that if there is no difference between what some nomadic general would demand and what our own so-called government has now demanded from all of us ­ then why do we tolerate this so-called government at all! (2)
 Everything in America today has to bow down to National Security: Apparently there is no other subject that can ever be considered as a reason to do anything here, anymore.
 
 This is what Defiance & Submission look like: We need to decide which one it will be for each one of us in the next few weeks, because what is about to happen to us is completely intolerable and it borders on repeating what the Spanish Inquisition did to its own people. The Inquisition was supposedly necessary to root-out Heretics, but in the end it destroyed the then “supreme” Catholic Church and ended the viability of Spain as a global power. Americans need to start building their own public-gallows in front of every federal office building in the nation in preparation for the very public trials of everyone involved in this national treason against the people and our Republic.
 
 The public’s response to what has been happening has gone through many phases beginning with disbelief, moving on into denial, then pessimism and now finally into a semi-panic about “what to do!” The problem with this is that most chose to skip the unmentioned realization which most have now had to finally accept: The Government of the US is making WAR upon all Americans and the rest of the world as well, each and every day, 24-7 ­ and they are simply USING national security as a cover for their massive crimes against us all. Let’s review the facts.
 
 The government maintains that there are now millions of terrorists hiding inside the United States, just waiting to attack this country and to kill Americans. “Hundreds of thousands of “sleeper-cells” exist nationwide, “just waiting to strike down Americans.” This paranoia has been multiplying by the hour for the last eleven years.
 
 So, How did they get here—all these millions of “TERRORISTS” that somehow were able to deceive the 64,000 TSA Agents (perverts, thieves, and sexual predators), or the millions of national security uniforms that supposedly contain officers in them to catch the bad guys? We have the entire Department of Homeland Security that has not done jack-shit since they were founded. We have ICE (Immigration, Customs Enforcement) and INS, (Immigration & Naturalization Service) who have turned US borders into a one way sieve ­ to allow in over 20 million people without papers, IRS, ATF (Alcohol Tobacco & Firearms) that has armed the Mexican Drug Cartels to the teeth.
 
 Oh and of course we have the world famous FBI, operating out of the J. Edgar Hoover Building (named after a man who wore pink women’s panties under his suits and was best known for blackmailing every president he worked under).
 
It was his bogus agents under the direction of the current FBI Director that failed to notify or stop 911 in the first place ­ BEFORE ANYTHING HAPPENED. Then we have that illustrious line of Attorney’s General, beginning with the first fake AG that Bush brought on board, J. Edgar Ashcroft ­ a totally insane freak who spent $8,000 to cover up a Department of Justice sculpture because he thought she might offend some sensibilities. Here’s what he and his policies looked like in 2002. Now all that garbage has come back to haunt us because today all those dirty little secret programs are exploding - it’s all coming true!
 
“The American Big Brother surveillance state has grown exponentially over recent years and it does not look like it is going to be slowing down any time soon with the new guidelines which allows private data on Americans to be held when there is no suspicion of them being tied to terrorism for a whopping five years.

 Keep in mind, Internet service providers just announced that they will soon be engaging in the largest digital spying operation in history, along with the National Security Agency (NSA) building a behemoth data center to process information, which could include just about anything.

 Now the NCTC is getting even more power from the Obama administration, something akin to the George W. Bush-era “Total Information Awareness” program which was supposedly partially shut down by Congress.

 For those who are unaware, the NCTC was established by Presidential Executive Order 13354 in 2004, and later actually codified by the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004. They are in an interesting position given that they report directly to the President and to the Director of National Intelligence, while following the policy dictated by the President and the National and Homeland Security Councils.” (3)
 
 But we also have millions of all kinds of supposed law enforcement “officers” that use their jobs to beat people, to torture some and taser others and kill at least few hundred every year with absolutely no consequences for the offending thugs. We have snitch programs, Nazi Youth Corp copycat programs, spying being done in bathrooms at workplaces, and in public spaces: These unhealthy and perverted assholes are everywhere and they want to know every thought or idea you have ever had, and to obtain that they are willing to use any extreme to get what they are certain contains vile and evil plans made by ordinary people ­ against their supposed-government.
 
 Apparently even the government has realized just how filthy and treasonous they have become? If that ever gets out then ordinary people will begin to do what they’ve been accused of for the last eleven years—and with good reason, because this government is as criminal as it is unjustified in anything that has their name on it! And now government is backing the privatization of the entire US prison System by Corrections Corporation of America: Their only real competition will be from the FEMA CORP CAMPS! (4)
 
 And if that’s not enough for you take a look beyond our shores at all the wars we already started and the financial meltdown (in the Quadrillions) that is about to explode internationally ­ our time as a nation is almost up: What do you plan to do about any of this shit; have you even planned on having a FUTURE! One thing is certain without a spine; no human can exist for very long. . .
 
 And now government is backing the privatization of the entire US prison System by Corrections Corporation of America: Their only real competition will be from the FEMA CORP CAMPS! (4)

 
 Have a GREAT weekend!
