Flash! How, Who, Why, Where, America Fell Apart And Who Is Going To Put It Back Together Again!
Democrats, intimidated by Fox? By Nancy? By Rove, By Cheney? By Mickey Mouse? By Casper The Friendly Ghost? By My Pet Flea? Bushite Hell And Movie/Rock Star Candidates, Jesse James Mercenary Bank Robbers, Wo/Men of Courage and Honor, With Good Eyesight or Glasses, Men Lacking Honor, Critics Lacking IQ's, Malicious Treasonous Collusion, or Merely Malicious Treasonous Greed and Collusion? Mr. Chertoff's Indigestion, Men Lacking Honor, Critics Lacking IQ's, A Nightmarish, Hellish, Satire/Fantasy A Tall Tale For Children and Men and Women of Prayer, End Income Taxes, Giuliani And Socialization Federal statute 18 USC 241, (TITLE 18 > PART I > CHAPTER 13) contains a perfectly compact and compressed explanation/definition of criminal conspiracy against citizen rights. "The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the People; it is an instrument for the People to restrain the government." Patrick Henry
TITLE 18 > PART I > CHAPTER 13 "If two or more persons conspire to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or because of his having so exercised the same; or If two or more persons go in disguise on the highway, or on the premises of another, with intent to prevent or hinder his free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege so secured-They shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and if death results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include kidnapping or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual abuse or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill, they shall be fined under this title or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, or both, or may be sentenced to death."
Bushite Hell And Movie/Rock Star Candidates The above is a perfect description of what the Bushite administration has committed, ad-infinatum, upon the people of these United States of America. That the above act has been profanely and with depravity, violated is clear even to an ambulance chaser. Unfortunately the ambulance chaser has a bit more dedication to his dubious vocation than do those whose high-minded, verbiage, signifies nothing, protects, less and displays contempt for those of/with which they speak and write. We, the people, of which genre the French and other Europeans respected, are here, shunned and held in contempt, as Bushites hold all. There, and interestingly, in Cuba, which the Bushites detest, medicine is a means of helping the people through their darkest times; here it is a profit, self-enrichment enterprise, to drain the suffering to fill the coffers of the already wealthy, the avaristic. That the medical industry and it's supplier's, physicians, minion's and sycophants are not held in utter disrespect and beneath the position of the honest prostitute, or gambler, is beyond my poor ability to confabulate and/or ideate.
As historians look back they will wonder that/how such a nation as ours allowed men so obsessed with wealth, pomp and all the trappings of the Superrich, movie star, Rock-star, public imagery and trivial vanities, with so little comprehension of the solemn, sacred vocation they have entered, to represent their district and states in the congress of the United States. Demoniac is a more appropriately concise description of them. Never, have such a group of men and women paid less attention to the process of governing than the congresses of the last 16 years. Never have such inconsiderate, impatriot, foolishly blundering insensitive men and women, occupied the halls of congress on both sides of the aisle. From a Democratic congresswoman, in a Democracy, who unilaterally decides who shall not be impeached, to Democratic congressman who admitted, to the great discomfort of enlightened men and women, that, "We seldom read the bills we sign.... There is no time..." to those who openly profit at the expense of tens of millions on the other side of the aisle. One wonders what does that congressman think he was sent there for? Reading the stuff for which he claims there is no time, IS his job! They need all be sent a copy of Mister Smith Goes To Washington and forced to watch it.
If one doubts the movie star, Rock-Star label, respectively, study the campaigns of Senator Fred Thompson or Senator Barack Obama. In Thompson, one sees the hyper-non-intellectual appeal to those in the south and southwest who have difficulty separating his TV persona as a tough, considerate, just, chief prosecutor, from his active participation and tenure in the most violent, corrupt and unjust congress and administration in history. If he-himself is absolved of corruption, he is still part of it by consenting to support and vote for those with another agenda.
Obama? Not in many years have I seen a candidate so enthralled with his own persona. The seeming levity of his awareness and the air of amusement in which he seems to take his surroundings, the lack of response to serious attempts by ordinary people to reach him, the glibness of his rhetoric, staggers the mind of interested parties. I followed his campaign because, I thought perhaps, in him, there was a spark of light, but now I am quite a bit more than doubtful. My office, bytheway, never received a reply to several phone calls asking for an interview, and for him to consider our no-cost healthcare, no insurance policy, plans. His aid in charge of such matters hostilely dismissed it, while congressmen in other states showed remarkable interest in it.
Jesse James' Mercenary Bank Robbers Those who deal in politics, power and cash, who allowed sealed-off, non-competitive, No-Bid, situations, have robbed America as she has never been robbed before and for that they must be accorded one thing we have never accorded any group before. We must accord them for thinking the same despicable thoughts about which most others day dream, but most others have the grace of God and humanity to reject as despicable, thoughts which they see as defiling their nation, defiling any sense of morality, defiling the spirit, and thereby teaching a new generation that the public is not something to be grateful for, to be protected and honored, but instead to be shorn and bled, shunned, exploited, robbed. Never before has our military allowed such travesties of justice to go on uninvestigated. Never have they suffered Private Profiteering Mercenaries to go unsupervised, unwatched, unpunished. Recently, along with more than $2,000,300,000,000 (Two Trillion, Three hundred million) been unaccounted for, according the Donald Rumsfeld, and recently an Iraqi bank was robbed of $282,000,000 cash, in American Dollars.
What bank on earth has that kind of cash on hand? Moreover, what foreign bank has those many American dollars on hand? Furthermore, what American Bank has those many American dollars on hand, not bearing interest? Who carries $282,000,000 non-interest bearing cash dollars in their vaults? Worse still, why would a foreign bank, whose nation US forces occupy, and which carries that much American cash on hand, is not overseen and guarded by the military? Further, why are they even carrying, in-house cash in any amount larger than $100,000 in American dollars? Why has there been neither news focusing upon the lack of investigation, nor upon the lack of military intervention to find the money? That is some command; they cannot find 2 million acres of red poppy flowers, which make the largest heroin crop on record in Afghanistan. They can't find a tall skinny, Arab, dragging a five hundred pound dialysis machine bouncing along behind him, and they can't find robbers who stole $282,000,000 and the MSM seldom if ever mentions it? Come on! Send to them (The Military Police, the Iraqi police, and the Top Officers of the USA Occupying forces), some eyeglasses, telescopes and magnifying glasses and a copy The Complete works of Sir, Doctor Arthur Conan Doyle's Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. Wo/Men of Courage and Honor, With Good Eyesight or Glasses All over America, and the world, especially in Washington D. C. in the Congress, the White House, the Justice Department, and our Law Enforcement offices nationwide, where are the men and women of courage and honor? Where have they gone? Where are the men and women with good eyesight, where have they gone? The same congressman who said he seldom reads the bills, upon which he votes, said he would not begin impeachment proceedings because Fox News and Commentators would beat up on him. He is also he's afraid of Nancy Pelosi who allegedly told him that if he started impeachment procedures she would strip him of his committee chairmanship. Is there any wonder why Bush has grabbed power? A Democratic Congressman is afraid to submit a Bill because cable news personalities would criticise him and it, and admits it publicly? A congressman whose teeth chatter at the rage of a colleague half his size? Is this a man of courage and honor, the man who is afraid of a small woman and Fox News? How much more must he fear the Bushites? Knowing we have such a fearful person in a key position in a Democratic congress astonishes one and leads one to the proposition that there stands nothing of substance between citizens and the Hun.
Meanwhile, there does stand one who is afraid neither of Fox News, Nancy Pelosi, nor the Bushites, that is former Soviet president Mikhail Gorbachev, who excoriated the USA, and President George W. Bush on Friday, saying that Bush is sowing disorder across the world in/by seeking to build an empire on the fears and confusion of his own ands the peoples of other nations and that after the Cold War, Bush displays for all to see his failure in understand a changing world.
"The Americans then gave birth to the idea of a new empire, world leadership by a single power, and what followed?" Answering his own question, Gorbachev added, "What has followed are unilateral actions, what has followed are wars, what has followed is ignoring the U.N. Security Council, ignoring international law and ignoring the will of the people, even the American people." He went on to say, "When I look at today's world I have a worrying feeling about the growth of world disorder." ... "I don't think the current president of the United States and his administration will be able to change the situation as it is developing now -- it is very dangerous." Further, he said that the current Administration in America has "Made many mistakes."
Gorbachev did for the Russian people what we need someone to do for Americans. Gorbachev became the Premier in 1985, and pushed through liberal reforms that made Russia more responsive to the will of the people and freed the press to speak their minds, while removing pettiness and paranoia from government in their dealing with their own people and further, recovered freedom of religion. Meanwhile here the Bush administration sees everyone as an irritant, to be harassed, reviled, killed or otherwise eliminated. Gorbachev is known as the father of "glasnost," (openness). Gorbachev also indicated what many of us who write have also, that Bush is creating intentional havoc at home and around the world to take advantage of the turmoil to build empire. It seems to me that three men who seem more to understand our extinct Constitution were not even born here and are ot American citizens, a Communist, who talks like a Founder of the USA, a Venzuelan who sells gasoline to his citizens at $00.12 a gallon, or $5.30 a BARREL, and a former movie star, an Austrian, who acts like a New Deal Democrat; Gorbachev, Chavez and Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Those of us here at OpEdNews.com and our readers, with a penchant for what is fast becoming a lost art in America, (A) Reading, and (B) Comprehending what they read, wonder what the MSM now does for a living.
Many people, I included, have been saying for years, Rove and/or Cheney, perhaps tutored by Wolfowitz, have applied the prophetic warnings in the writings of George Orwell in Nineteen Eighty Four (1984) and Aldous Huxley in Brave New World, to an increasingly befuddled, materialistic, citizenry and an increasingly, retarded, and careerist system of "Higher" education which is today completely in the hands of a good many narrowly educated "professors" and administrators, which, having either failed at, or never a part of, but worshipful of ethics lacking, amoral, industrialists.
Malicious Treasonous Collusion, or Merely Malicious Treasonous Greed and Collusion? Where is it all leading? We all know where it is all leading. It is, perhaps leading to no election in 2008. First we had the tall-tale telling, now deceased minister (whose end we predicted), saying "god" told him there was going to be a terrorist attack of monumental proportions, before the next election, on US soil. I said if he was alerted about such an attack, it was not by God, but by those who knew there would be an attack, (perhaps without Fallwell's knowledge of their source of information, I would hope) so that it would look to the naïve' that "god" indeed spoke to Fallwell. Well, God did, on May 15th, as we predicted on OpEdNews on May 13th. God, the real, God, will tolerate no false prophets at this time.
In his article of this week in Salon.com, Farhad Manjoo, writes, "July 30, 2007. Early in July, Michael Chertoff, the secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, told the Chicago Tribune that though he had no specific information pointing to a new threat, his "gut feeling" suggested that the U.S. faced a heightened risk of a terrorist attack during the next couple of months. Summertime is an "appealing" time of year to the enemy, Chertoff said; it was natural to assume, then, that the season would once again bring "increased vulnerability." He later pointed out that his "Gut Feeling" and experience told him it would be LA or San Francisco, oddly enough both Blue Cities. I wonder how Arnold feels about a handful of insane Neo-cons, planning to destroy half of his state.

The above bio harvested from the comments of Deans, colleagues, students, clients and collector's.
but Peter, in practice, maybe the first thing we need to do is to acknowledge something very painful: we are the same as everybody else. I guess the only movie character I have heard from something like that was .. Tony Soprano. And if Tony Soprano becomes the epithome of common sense- we are in real trouble.
So, what am I up to? It seems unfortunately obvious that we as the nation need to suffer. I do not want that to happen. But it does seem that only throuh suffering we can survive.

Mark, with all due respect, I do not buy that all are alike. I have never wanted money enough to kill for it, or even to steal it. I have never felt avarice/greed. I more than once walked away from excellent paying jobs eventually to start my own business because of what I saw in the corporate life, what they would have asked me to do or did ask me to do, which I would not do. I starved the first few years in my own business, before I hit it right. Then sometime later I sold it. Even, later, teaching I was asked to do or say things I did not want to do or say, so it was political warfare all the way through tenure. That is not a brag, but simply, that i have no desire for tremendous amounts of money or power. Sick people, Like Cheney, who say, they like power even more than money because there is no tax on power exhibit at once their anal retentiveness, insecurity and cowardice. The desire for power is driven by fear that anyone higher in power will get them so they must get everyone, make them suffer, to stay safe-How sick is that?
I am a Sinner yes, but never a killer, never been violent, unless in self-defense, or to save someone else and never, ever been greedy/avaristic, never.
No, Mark People are not all alike. some have empathy, compassion, love and caring. It ran in my family and most of the peple I know are very much the same about "...doing unto others..."
Otherwise, your idea off all must suffer because of the few, isd very much Eastern Russian Orthodox/Catholic theology, apparenyly burnt into your psyche. And I must say there may well be some truth in that theology, but not from the human standpoint. Anyway that's my take on it all.
Thanks for writing. Appreciate it.
Pete
