America is Mortally Wounded . . . CODE BLUE!

by George Washington     Page 1 of 2 page(s)

Tell A Friend

Former Air Force Colonel and Pentagon official Karen Kwiatkowski -- who was the key whistleblower who revealed that the Pentagon had a special division producing cooked intelligence on Iraq -- recently wrote:

"The republic is dead. Not sick, not dying, not failing, or in a gradual decline, not waiting to be resuscitated, but already stone cold dead."

Is she right?

Well, there are some indications that America as envisioned by the the Constitution and the Founding Fathers doesn't just need our help. Is not merely in trouble, or fragile, or under attack. But rather, there are indications that America is already dead. That we lost. That its over.



Mushy-Headed America

Is it really that bleak?

I'm not sure. But I do know that the very mushy-headed optimism of many Americans blinds them to the fact that their own government could be ruthless enough to create baseless propaganda, manipulate intelligence, and pull off false flag attacks on American and allied citizens.

I believe that hope is vitally important. But if we don't see the situation as it really is, then we just have our heads up in the clouds and we're not standing on the ground. We have to know where we really are before we can strive to get somewhere better.

If you don't discover that your house has mold, you can't fix it and make it healthy. If your doctor doesn't tell the patient he has cancer, the patient has no chance of getting better.

If you put all of your eggs in a basket without noticing there is a big hole in the bottom, you're going to lose your eggs. And unless we acknowledge when something we like is broken, we can't fix it or -- if beyond repair -- build a new one.

Albert Einstein said "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." If we do the same thing over and over, and it hasn't worked, we should wake up and acknowledge it isn't working. Otherwise, we cannot fix it.

What's the Diagnosis?

America of the Founding Fathers and the Constitution is not yet dead . . . but it is mortally wounded.

Instead of separation of powers, we have a tyrannical executive branch. Instead of a free market economy, we have massive subsidies, credits, manipulation of the stock market, and other games which skew the system so that there is not a level playing field.

The leaders we have now and the way things work are wholly corrupt. The structures are rotten and moldy, and have to be ripped out and rebuilt. The pipes are clogged, and nothing will move unless they are totally cleaned out.

The neocons and neoliberals, the imperialists and military-industrial complex, the lobbyists and dual loyalists have all cannibalized America to the point that it is hardly breathing.

The drafters of the Constitution would not recognize this place, except perhaps as a repeat of tyranny under the British crown.

America is mortally wounded. I'm calling a code blue.

George Washington

George Washington is a pen name. I am using the pen name, with the approval of the publisher, because I have received death threats due to my 9/11 research and writing. I am using a pen name to protect myself and my family.

I have achieved nothing of consequence apart from raising children in a way that they would excel where I failed. And they are on good tracks.
ramsheyiI have achieved nothing of consequence apart from raising children in a way that they would excel where I failed. And they are on good tracks.

When Did That Happen?

The Republic died the year The Federal Reserve Act was born. That was in 1913, almost a century ago. Time is past to wake up

An ex-Pat for going on 30 years and still no sign of homesickness. Oh how sweet it is to be free to roam and never go home.

George,

Karen Kwiatkowski is right. Game over. We'll be spending the next ten years learning how to accept the truth that has validity this very day. I don't want to paint it all black fer yaz, but there is no turning back and there is no cure. But hey, I have some (almost) good news for the good people of America : it ain't much better in any other part of the world. When the US goes down, and it is going down, all will fall with her. We should have known better. Shite can only fly as far as we sling it !

Every soldier knows....

After two months of combat every soldier knows that he will die and that he will never know the reasons for, nor the outcome of the battle he is in.

We will never know these simple things about the battle we are in. In fact it is a mistake to think we know.

Blame the Fed or the Civil War or the latest scams all you want, but it will not buy us a second of time. Put signs in your car window saying something against the system as it is being racketed NOW. The media decides every election and it gets paid for it. The Busheviks did 911. Torture is terrorism against us. Israel is not our friend. Our food, water, and air are poisoned. The two party system is a good cop/bad cop scam.

Think of - something you can agitate about alone. When they send you to a death camp, make sure that you have earned the right to be there.
