Reality?  “Mission Accomplished”

Articles That Proves That “Mission Accomplished” ... Definitely Was.
It had nothing to do with liberty/democracy.  It has to do with the power of stolen wealth, only.


Income Gap Is Widening, Data Shows

“Income inequality grew significantly in 2005, with the top 1 percent of Americans - those with incomes that year of more than $348,000 - receiving their largest share of national income since 1928, analysis of newly released tax data shows.”


Inequality Newswatch

“What the media is (and isn't) telling us.”


Get The Facts

“Either way -- wealth or income – America is more unequal, economists generally agree, than at any time since the start of the Great Depression…”


It’s Oligarchs, Not Graduates

“... a fundamental misreading of what’s happening to American society.  What we’re seeing isn’t the rise of a fairly broad class of knowledge workers.  Instead, we’re seeing the rise of a narrow oligarchy: income and wealth are becoming increasingly concentrated in the hands of a small, privileged elite.”

7 Weeks On. . .

Dems Have Had Subpoena Power For 7 Weeks, Yet None Issued.  Why?
by The Old Hippie Because How Obvious Do The Crimes Have To Be To Justify Subpoenas?

“War-Profiteering Corporatists Criminal Conspiracy!  R-I-G-H-T. . .  Like anyone would believe that Americans would ‘allow’ a small group of people to successfully conspire to transfer the entirety of the American wealth into the hands of their few, through methods that have come very close to destroying the American Constitutional Republic's ‘Balance of Powers,’ its ‘Checks and Balances,’ through the successful weakening, rewriting, and ignoring, of regulatory laws, originally created to protect the citizenry from such abuse of power, simply to protect their theft, and themselves, from the eventual awakening anger of the bamboozled, conned, fooled, lied to, and trusting citizenry fodder units.”


Hacker
{-The Way Many Picture Me-}
 

But that is exactly what has happened.  Isn't it?  And now?  The reality is that their crimes have been exposed, re-exposed, proven, shouted out, raged at, and finally made clearly obvious to any and all, (outside of those who ‘patriotically’ only watch the Fox ‘News’ propaganda,) that these “trusted leaders” of ours are true sociopathic criminals.  Criminals that America is now, finally, (so far unsuccessfully,) attempting to rationally deal with.  Criminals that have been so successful in their theft, and their constructed protections, that even in the face of all of their exposed crimes. . .  America can't seem to even get these sneering criminals to be questioned, to testify, openly, under oath, in ‘our’ Congress - Much less to actually be punished for their crimes.


A second reality is that much of the damage that has been done to the constitution, to the environment, and to the lives of millions of innocents, not only here in America, but around the globe, that my fellow American citizens did allow, and to this very hour are still allowing - Is now simply no longer “fixable.”

What I fear most, more so day-by-day. . . is the fact that nothing “real” has been done, or is being done, so far, to stop this sneeringly open, and criminal, theft and insanity.  The human deaths continue to mount, the environmental destruction continues to worsen, the security of freedoms and liberties continue to deteriorate, not only here in America, but also worldwide. . .  And yet - Nothing “real” has been, or is currently being done to stop the “allowing” to continue unabated.

“Wake The Fuck Up!”  Just doesn't cover it anymore, does it?

Were You A Good American?

Was I A “Good American” In The Time Of George Bush?
by Rebecca Solnit, The Guardian/UK, March 14, 2007


Too many of us have done too little to stop the crimes of this White House.
We are waking up but what took us so long?

Patriot 

Was I a good American?  How good an American was I?  Did I do what I could to resist the takeover of my country and the brutalisation of my fellow human beings?  How much further could I have gone?  Were the crimes of the Bush administration those that demand you give up your life and everyday commitments to throw yourself into maximum resistance?  If not, then what were we waiting for?  The questions have troubled me regularly these last five years, because I was one of the millions of American citizens who did not shut down Guantánamo Bay and stop the other atrocities of the administration.


I wrote.  I gave money, sometimes in large chunks.  I went to anti-war marches.  I demonstrated.  I also planted a garden, cooked dinners, played with children, wandered around aimlessly, and did lots of other things you do when the world is not crashing down around you.  And maybe when it is.  Was it?  It was for the men in our gulag.  And the boys there.  And the rule of law in my native land.

Before the current administration, it had always been easy to condemn the “good Germans” who did nothing while Jews, Gypsies and others were rounded up for extermination.  One likes to believe that one will be different, will harbour Anne Frank in one’s secret annex, smuggle people across the border, defy the authorities who do evil.  Those we scornfully call good Germans merely did little while the mouth of hell opened up.

I now know the way that everyday life can be so absorbing, survival so demanding, that it seems impossible to do more on top of it or to drop the routine altogether and begin a totally different life.  There is the garden to be watered, the aged parent in crisis, the deadline looming; but there are also the crimes against humanity waiting to be stopped.  Ordinary obligations tug one way even when extraordinary ones tug the other way.  The Bush administration is by no means the Third Reich, but it produced an extraordinary time that made extraordinary demands on US citizens, demands that some of us rose to - and too many did not.

Periodically, I would speculate on what was the most extreme and radical thing I could do to stop the illegal prison camp at Guantánamo; picture chaining myself to the gates of the Senate, becoming one of those activists who takes up residence outside the White House or takes over a TV station to get a message out.  I wanted to do something so epic that it would turn the tide, stop the crime.  Then I would consider that the best approaches were probably already being taken, by the heroic lawyers at the Centre for Constitutional Rights and other human rights organisations, and I would write another cheque and some more letters and feel a little futile and a little corrupt.

These days Americans seem to be waking up one at a time, groggy and embittered, from the hypnotic nightmare that was the Bush administration's one great success - spreading a miasma of fear and patriotic submissiveness that made it possible to mount an illegal and immoral war, piss on the bill of rights, burn the constitution and violate international charters on human rights and prisoners of war with widespread torture.  None of the sleepers seems to remember that they were part of the legions who obeyed the orders to fear and hate - but we welcome the latecomers into our ranks anyway.

What took them so long?  How could people believe that a fairly defanged country, one we had been bombing since the first Gulf war, was an apocalyptic menace in a world where most nations were well-equipped for mass civilian murder?  A year ago, the turning point was marked by the comedian Stephen Colbert’s volley of (accurate) insults delivered to Bush's face, in the guise of giving the keynote address at the Washington press corps’ annual dinner.  He was just aggressively ignored by the mainstream media.  Perhaps Katrina turned the tide: the indifference, incompetence, and obliviousness of the federal government was so gross that its pedestal melted.

And there were others who were in resistance all along.  I remember with admiration the Japanese-Americans who came out in the months after 9/11 to testify that they had been incarcerated en masse during the second world war, not for what they did but for who they were, and they were not going to remain silent as the same treatment was meted out to Arabs and Muslims.  I remember the way that 20,000 of us in San Francisco came out to shut down the business district the day the war broke out, and the huge marches before and after.  I remember the few congresspeople - mostly African-American - who dared to stand in opposition early on.  I went to Camp Casey outside Bush’s vacation home in Texas and spent a day with Cindy Sheehan, who gave her life over to stopping the war after it took her soldier son.  Others did as she did. Some of them are my friends.

There is resistance.  But if it were enough, the crimes would have stopped, the war would have ended.  When it does and they do, some will have been heroes.  Some will have been honourable but moderate, in times that did not call for moderation.  And some will have consented, through inaction, to crimes against humanity.

[The following is updated commentary from one of my earlier postings.]

After the 2002 mid-term elections, and especially when America “re-elected” this administration in 2004, I lost almost all of my optimism - I was simply dumbfounded that my nation would allow what was obviously a 2nd openly corrupted national election to be accepted, after allowing an illegal aggressive war on a nation that had not attacked, and was of absolutely no threat to us whatsoever, after allowing the guilty to go completely unpunished when the lies were exposed, and the new lies about the original lies were also exposed, to all Americans... after the exposure of the take-over of all of “our” governmental agencies by the corporatists was exposed and allowed to be left uncorrected and unpunished, after the openly and sneeringly arrogant corruption of the ruling party was exposed, after the illegal cover up of the realities of global warming and other environmental sciences’ realities that conflicted with their profits-over-everything-else was allowed to remain uncorrected and unpunished, after the exposure that the military-industrial-corporations, the energy/extractive corporations, the ag-chem corporations, the pharmaceutical, et al, corporations actually do share many members of their boards of directors with the boards of all of the six mainstream corporate media corporations, that also cross-share board members and control almost all of “our” informational media, the so-called fourth branch of “our” government, and that all of these corporations have been allowed to remain uncorrected, after the obvious theft by war-profiteering was fully exposed, and proven to lead all the way up through this criminal administration to the even the president’s family, has been allowed to remain unpunished, and that impeachment may be allowed to not even be possible. . .  All of that, and so much more that has also become exposed reality of late - All of it to this very hour still allowed to be uncorrected and unpunished. . .  “Dumbfounded” just doesn't cover it anymore.  Really frustratingly angry might come closer.

But then the mid-term elections of 2006 happened - An unexpected correction.  My optimism soared!  But here it is, March 17th, 2007, 4½ months past that election, and all of it is still being allowed to continue to go on...  uncorrected and unpunished.  It was not enemies from without that did this to us - It was the allowing of our enemies from within - We, all of us, did allow this to happen ourselves, and to the undeserving rest of the planet.

To be quite honest, I believe they, the rest of the planet’s citizens, have every right to do all that they can to stop, to correct, and to rationally punish, what we Americans have allowed our, now obvious to even ourselves, arrogantly corrupt, illegal, and deadly government to inflict upon them.

Does this mean I’ve given up on the possibility of saving my “America” from these criminals?  No.  But I am no longer naive.  I know the American government’s constitutional democracy’s systems have been broken in many bad, maybe irreparable, ways.  But I also know that bad political opportunistic conspiracies can be defeated in many historically proven ways - I will continue to fight them, as long as I am “allowed” to - And I think quite realistically, if the corporatists’ aren’t stopped, not just in this nation, but worldwide, then this planet’s human soul is doomed.

I Thought I Never Would, But. . .

The Allowing Has Gone Too Far - Too Long - I Give Up -
As Much As You Think It Has Changed, It Hasn't - Hope?  I no Longer Think So.


"Nothing Changes"

by The Moody Blues


The dark cloak of winter's war
Left a future still unsure
Sitting in a class
Of the future's past
We saw a list of dates
And we knew we would last
To see them all.

1984 was a year to fear
Hope was dead, a police state here
Halley's comet was to fly by
And we would see a shining in the nighht sky
Now 2001 is soon to come
And just as soon will have come and gone
Nothing changes.

Standing at the crossroads
Of what is, will be, and was
The obvious eludes us
Not because the zeroes line up
We should change our way of thought
More if we do not, the way ahead
Is dangerously fraught
And if we did the things we all know to be right
Left would be the childish fears
Of danger in the night.

We, each of us are fine
For we have all heard the word
But grouped together
Babel's triumph stampedes
The thoughtless herd
Nothing changes.

Nothing changes
And nothing stays the same
And life is still
A simple game.

Okay - Here It Comes. . .

They'll Try - But They Can't Ignore Their Own Pentagon - Can They?
A Report by Our Own (Their Own) Pentagon Concerning the Coming Climate/Resources Wars.
by Mark Townsend & Paul Harris in New York, Observer © Guardian News and Media Ltd 2006


“A secret [Pentagon] report, suppressed by US defence chiefs and obtained by The Observer, warns that major European cities will be sunk beneath rising seas as Britain is plunged into a ‘Siberian’ climate by 2020.  Nuclear conflict, mega-droughts, famine and widespread rioting will erupt across the world.

The document predicts that abrupt climate change could bring the planet to the edge of anarchy as countries develop a nuclear threat to defend and secure dwindling food, water and energy supplies.  The threat to global stability vastly eclipses that of terrorism, say the few experts privy to its contents.”

Now the Pentagon tells Bush: climate change will destroy us
· Secret report warns of rioting and nuclear war
· Britain will be ‘Siberian’ in less than 20 years
· Threat to the world is greater than terrorism

Mark Townsend and Paul Harris in New York
Sunday February 22, 2004

Observer


Climate change over the next 20 years could result in a global catastrophe costing millions of lives in wars and natural disasters...

A secret report, suppressed by US defence chiefs and obtained by The Observer, warns that major European cities will be sunk beneath rising seas as Britain is plunged into a ‘Siberian’ climate by 2020.  Nuclear conflict, mega-droughts, famine and widespread rioting will erupt across the world.

The document predicts that abrupt climate change could bring the planet to the edge of anarchy as countries develop a nuclear threat to defend and secure dwindling food, water and energy supplies.  The threat to global stability vastly eclipses that of terrorism, say the few experts privy to its contents.

‘Disruption and conflict will be endemic features of life,’ concludes the Pentagon analysis.  ‘Once again, warfare would define human life.’

The findings will prove humiliating to the Bush administration, which has repeatedly denied that climate change even exists.  Experts said that they will also make unsettling reading for a President who has insisted national defence is a priority.

The report was commissioned by influential Pentagon defence adviser Andrew Marshall, who has held considerable sway on US military thinking over the past three decades.  He was the man behind a sweeping recent review aimed at transforming the American military under Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld.

Climate change ‘should be elevated beyond a scientific debate to a US national security concern’, say the authors, Peter Schwartz, CIA consultant and former head of planning at Royal Dutch/Shell Group, and Doug Randall of the California-based Global Business Network.

An imminent scenario of catastrophic climate change is ‘plausible and would challenge United States national security in ways that should be considered immediately’, they conclude.  As early as next year widespread flooding by a rise in sea levels will create major upheaval for millions.

Last week the Bush administration came under heavy fire from a large body of respected scientists who claimed that it cherry-picked science to suit its policy agenda and suppressed studies that it did not like.  Jeremy Symons, a former whistleblower at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), said that suppression of the report for four months was a further example of the White House trying to bury the threat of climate change.

Senior climatologists, however, believe that their verdicts could prove the catalyst in forcing Bush to accept climate change as a real and happening phenomenon.  They also hope it will convince the United States to sign up to global treaties to reduce the rate of climatic change.

A group of eminent UK scientists recently visited the White House to voice their fears over global warming, part of an intensifying drive to get the US to treat the issue seriously.  Sources have told The Observer that American officials appeared extremely sensitive about the issue when faced with complaints that America’s public stance appeared increasingly out of touch.

One even alleged that the White House had written to complain about some of the comments attributed to Professor Sir David King, Tony Blair’s chief scientific adviser, after he branded the President’s position on the issue as indefensible.

Among those scientists present at the White House talks were Professor John Schellnhuber, former chief environmental adviser to the German government and head of the UK’s leading group of climate scientists at the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research.  He said that the Pentagon’s internal fears should prove the ‘tipping point’ in persuading Bush to accept climatic change.

Sir John Houghton, former chief executive of the Meteorological Office - and the first senior figure to liken the threat of climate change to that of terrorism - said: ‘If the Pentagon is sending out that sort of message, then this is an important document indeed.’

Bob Watson, chief scientist for the World Bank and former chair of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, added that the Pentagon’s dire warnings could no longer be ignored.

‘Can Bush ignore the Pentagon?  It’s going be hard to blow off this sort of document.  Its hugely embarrassing.  After all, Bush’s single highest priority is national defence.  The Pentagon is no wacko, liberal group, generally speaking it is conservative.  If climate change is a threat to national security and the economy, then he has to act.  There are two groups the Bush Administration tend to listen to, the oil lobby and the Pentagon,’ added Watson.

‘You’ve got a President who says global warming is a hoax, and across the Potomac river you've got a Pentagon preparing for climate wars.  It’s pretty scary when Bush starts to ignore his own government on this issue,’ said Rob Gueterbock of Greenpeace.

Already, according to Randall and Schwartz, the planet is carrying a higher population than it can sustain.  By 2020 ‘catastrophic’ shortages of water and energy supply will become increasingly harder to overcome, plunging the planet into war.  They warn that 8,200 years ago climatic conditions brought widespread crop failure, famine, disease and mass migration of populations that could soon be repeated.

Randall told The Observer that the potential ramifications of rapid climate change would create global chaos.  ‘This is depressing stuff,’ he said.  ‘It is a national security threat that is unique because there is no enemy to point your guns at and we have no control over the threat.’

Randall added that it was already possibly too late to prevent a disaster happening.  ‘We don’t know exactly where we are in the process.  It could start tomorrow and we would not know for another five years,’ he said.

‘The consequences for some nations of the climate change are unbelievable.  It seems obvious that cutting the use of fossil fuels would be worthwhile.’

So dramatic are the report’s scenarios, Watson said, that they may prove vital in the US elections.  Democratic frontrunner John Kerry is known to accept climate change as a real problem.  Scientists disillusioned with Bush’s stance are threatening to make sure Kerry uses the Pentagon report in his campaign.

The fact that Marshall is behind its scathing findings will aid Kerry’s cause.  Marshall, 82, is a Pentagon legend who heads a secretive think-tank dedicated to weighing risks to national security called the Office of Net Assessment.  Dubbed ‘Yoda’ by Pentagon insiders who respect his vast experience, he is credited with being behind the Department of Defence’s push on ballistic-missile defence.

Symons, who left the EPA in protest at political interference, said that the suppression of the report was a further instance of the White House trying to bury evidence of climate change.  ‘It is yet another example of why this government should stop burying its head in the sand on this issue.’

Symons said the Bush administration’s close links to high-powered energy and oil companies was vital in understanding why climate change was received sceptically in the Oval Office.  ‘This administration is ignoring the evidence in order to placate a handful of large energy and oil companies,’ he added.

Privatization. . .

One Word - “Privatization” - Caused The Problems At Walter Reed
by The Old Hippie Because The “Allowed” Privatization Has Caused Most All Of Our Problems


Proof that privatization was/is the problem at Walter Reed Hospital is the reason for the Army's controlling corporatists not “allowing” Gen. George Weightman to testify to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, as noted in the Army Times, and is also clearly exposed in this CNN video report.

Note:  It's an ex-senior Halliburton official, Al Neffgen, the CEO of the private corporation, IAP-Worldwide Services, (the corporation that couldn't seem to deliver the ice to the Katrina victims, after they got paid, and were never punished for it,)  that is the corporation that took over, (privatized,) almost all of Walter Reed's support services, with a $120-million contract, and is now being exposed as the source of almost all of the problems at Walter Reed - Watch the above linked CNN video, if you have any doubts.  And most important - Don't let it go - Pound your representatives about it.

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = =  <  B e l o w  T h e  F o l d  >  = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = 

As I've said many times in this blog - They keep smacking you in the face with the evidence, and you, (America,) keep “allowing” them to get away with it - - -

And as I've begun to say more, and more, of late, in a screeching voice becoming horse with outraged fatigue. . .  “Wake The Fuck Up!”  Simply doesn't convey the urgency of it anymore.

“Preventive” Nuclear War. . .

Yes, You’re Going To “Allow” Him To Start A “Preventive Nuclear War”
An “Allowed” Nuclear War Will Secure Their Power & Wealth Through Fear & Destabilization.

Read 

Actually, You have already “allowed” it to begin.  And most of you, my fellow Americans, aren't truly aware of it yet, even though all of the evidence of it is smacking you in the face every day, in the independent media, (which the large majority of you still do not view,) and from within what almost passes for “news” in our nation's mainstream media in these days of Pax Americana (Christian) Empire.  America - The collective “us” - Are on the very cusp of “allowing” them to start an aggressive “preventive nuclear war.”  Come on people!  They are actually trying to start a nuclear war!

I provide my usual links-of-proof, (many new, some from earlier postings,) “Below The Fold.”  Please - Read them, absorb the words’ implications, and realities, for not just yours, but everyone's futures - Do anything and everything you can do to stop them - Otherwise, I sincerely believe that “doom & gloom” just won't adequately cover our shared futures.
