In the face of global capitalism and the redefining of democracy, liberty is fading away into the shadows of fascism. Corporations have freedoms their consumers do not have such as paying 16 cents to the dollar of taxes owed; meanwhile, procuring hefty tax breaks that aren't passed down to the consumer. They supply our wants on the backs of the world's desperate and jack up the cost of our needs, the resources we must have to survive in this world today. They buy legislation that allows them to accomplish their goals to have the entire world under the umbrella of a Global Order. Everyone from the purchased presidents down to the illegal immigrant slaves serve the interests of these corporations.
With all the technological advances this world has seen, and renewable energy sources more readily available, these mega-conglomerates and their subsidiaries continue to fight us on alternative energy sources that are more environmentally friendly. This leads me to believe that the wars we fight today are more about profiting off the control of natural resources which we are all beholden to than they are about democracy. Would America purchase goods and resources from the rest of the world if they knew the role mercenaries of these corporations play? Would Americans do so if they knew the methods used such as starting divisions amongst people indigenous to the areas where our resources come from? Would America be OK with these activities if they knew the corporations are also proliferators of evil? I'm not sure I can handle the answer to those questions.
I urge you, our representatives, to stand up to this man with a mandate whom we call our President, and levy the truth and consequences of his actions on behalf of, not only the world at large, but more specifically, the liberty that belongs to Americans here at home.
If the Democrats are publicly accused of handling information irresponsibly in regard to their initial support of going to war on the grounds of WMD, then the President must admit publicly through all veins of media how he was the avenue of the faulty information. He must admit that as the "elected" head of the chain of command, he failed to bring the full and examined truth to America and the rest of the world.
His goal was always to dispose of Saddam Hussein. His father's goal was to do that in order to free the Iraqi people and pavethe way for them to join the Global Order. That was his father's vision. Since then, Bill Clinton also carried out that goal and fell short as his predecessor had. His law H.R. 4655- "Iraq Liberation Act of 1998" never took hold in the minds of the average American and I wonder how many people of the Senate and Congress ever give thought to it.
In G. W. Bush's talk with Jim Lehrer on February 16, 2000, he shows us that he intended to go after Hussein. He said, "I think we need to have inspectors back into Iraq, and I think we need to make it clear to Saddam Hussein we want them back into -- we need to make it clear to our allies we expect the inspectors back in to make sure he's not developing weapons of mass destruction." He then went on to say, "I'm just as frustrated as many Americans are that Saddam Hussein still lives. I think we ought to keep the pressure on him. I will tell you this: If we catch him developing weapons of mass destruction in any way, shape or form, I'll deal with that in a way that he won't like."
Mr. Lehrer asked him, "Like what, bomb him?"
Bush responded, "Well, it could be one option. He just needs to know that he'll be dealt with in a firm way."
There is no way we can let President George Bush get off by admitting irresponsibility in the handling of "misinformation." He, like his predecessors, was chomping at the bit to dispose of Saddam and set up a strategic position in Iraq. When Sept. 11th brought us to a screeching halt, our President wasted no time in capitalizing on the egg of disaster the golden goose had laid. He immediately exploited our fears and took us down a path of vengeance. This implies intent. Intent is not to be minimized as irresponsibility. His intent involved selling Congress, the Senate, the American media, and people, a lie. This most certainly is an impeachable offense.
If we won't impeach this man, we must definitely speak to the truths that so far have been mishandled and whored by this media driven conspiracy.
Democrats, it is time to stand together more firmly and speak out more eloquently than we have ever had to do before. Let's do it now.
Thank you.
