We Won, You Lost

And now we’re gonna nuke Iran, they’ve got lots of oil, too, lots of gas, and they’re scaring our friends in -- oh...never mind. We’ve got lots of high-profit work to do. Have you seen the stocks of weapons contractors? Solid Buy! This war business kills a lot of innocents, but the profit return is even higher than in the oil business — and then all those reconstruction contract plums! We’re still patting ourselves on the back for getting into Halliburton very early, that was a sweet tip from Dick.... Yeah, we’re looking at starting World War III. When global warming really kicks in we’re going to have a colossal refugee problem best addressed in advance. Did we say global warming?...Code Red—TERRORISTS! That’s better. Al QAEDA...!

America’s founding fathers were so wary of the kind of federal monster that spectators have let us become, they crafted the most elegant and clear instructions for avoiding it — the United States Constitution. Perhaps the finest document in history. They were most ingenious, a bunch of wealthy white land and slave owners with vision. But the documented checks and balances, spirit of broad participation (the D word, they shunned true democracy), and that glorious Bill of Rights — took us a long time to pick that one to pieces. But it’s done. The Constitution is just a “goddam piece of paper” like the unelected twit says.

Remember the anthrax attacks? Out of the blue here comes hyper-refined weapons-grade spores like only we have, so guess where it came from? Notice how once word leaked out about the source of the anthrax, all investigations ceased? Owning the media sure is handy. And that anthrax trick was certainly nasty, but we had no choice -- had to get the Patriot Act rammed through Congress.

Some politicos were objecting—many of them even insisted on reading the act before voting on it. Well, we showed them. We won. And we murdered Paul Wellstone and his family just to make sure Congress understood who’s boss. Win again. And all this winning made habeas corpus easy to fell — a cornerstone of legal justice since the Magna Carta, 1215, ultimate protection against illegal imprisonment. We killed it.

How about the Posse Comitatus Act? Thanks to us, American military can now be used against American citizens. Of course we like to outsource everything, like American jobs. Blackwater is just the beginning — we don’t need no stinkin’ citizen army, almost, we just hire mercenaries.

You spectators are getting more obsolete every day. So what are we going to do if you really start protesting our destruction of the environment, belligerent wars for resources (water is next), cessation of funding for common good (it’s a ME country now, opposed to WE), total abandonment of citizens, in favor of military aggression...the list is so long, all contributing to the fundamental concept of: We won, and there’s nothing you can do about it, because we can arrest you for no reason, and stick you in one of our 800 new camps for dissidents. Check out FEMA’s Rex 84 program. [5] [6] That’s right, we’re all set. Pull off another false flag terror affair like 9-11, declare martial law, round up dissidents to fill our new forced-labor camps, and...all this winning might be going to our heads.
