Yes, Obama should be
impeached, but he won't be. Those individuals that make up our legislature have
been bought and paid for by the special moneyed interests that also control the
mainstream media. Most Americans, thanks to the media, are largely unaware of
what really happens. This is Press Secretary Robert Gibbs talking about the American
drone strike on 16 year --old American citizen Abdulrahman al-Awlaki;
"I would suggest
that you should have a far more responsible father if they are truly concerned
about the well-being of their children," Gibbs said, suggesting the son
somehow deserved his death because of the sins of the father. "I don't
think becoming an al Qaeda jihadist terrorist is the best way to go about doing
your business."
Remember, al-Awlaki nor
his son was on the government's kill-list, nor were there any formal charges
against them. If al-Awlaki was a terrorist, charges should have been brought
before a court. The killing of his son however was wrong on every conceivable
level.
Now the American people
are engrossed in the capture of a "rogue" former LAPD policeman who was also a
navy officer. A manifesto was released, ostensibly from him, about why he is
murdering law enforcement officers. All of this is very strange. This " manifesto "
is very coherent and makes some very damning charges against the LAPD. The
mainstream media says little about these charges that Christopher Dorner has
leveled against the LAPD. Some have claimed that this manifesto wasn't written
by the same person throughout. Regardless, the man-hunt has brought sensationalism
to this drama. Now that drones are being used domestically, will Dorner, hyped
by the press as an armed killer, be brought down by an armed drone?
Surveillance drones are
already being used in this man-hunt. The question that I would like to pose
here is that if they have a shot, will an armed drone be used to take this
individual down? If this happens, will they give him a chance to give himself
up, or will this just be another indiscriminate murder by another governmental
agency seeking to destroy its enemies without judicial process? How will the
American people react to something like this?
Unless people in the
entertainment industry speak out against lethal drone strikes in the United
States without proper judicial process, don't expect many in the United States
to even be aware that an historic precedent has even happened. Once it is ruled
that the drone killing of this man was "legal", expect drone strikes against perceived
"criminals" to become commonplace across the country.
The media will not
speak out against it if it should happen. They will blindly go along with whatever
policies were put in place. They will not only go along with executing someone
by remote control, they will even champion it! Whatever happens in this case,
the media as it exists in this nation will not argue the questions that a
scenario like this will bring.
Between the Federal
Government being controlled by millionaires and those that are supported by
corporate funding and special interests, expect nothing from the Federal
Government. They are not there to support the working people that live here,
they support the status quo. If they are told that a Federal, State or Local
government can kill suspects with impunity, they will blindly obey. Expect
nothing from the mainstream media, as they are in the same hands as the
government.
In short, we are
witnessing the destruction of due judicial process in the United States. As
some have suggested, we are entering into a Federal dictatorship that is being supported
by the States and the media. The right to kill without a trial is being debated
and without the people's voice in the debate, many people will be subject to
execution without a trial right here in the United States. The federal
Government has never had a power that it hasn't used. I just hope it won't be
used on you or me.
