How we are going to defeat George Bush and the extreme right-wing agenda.

Was this a fraudulent election? You wouldn’t be reading this if you didn’t think so. The fact that there is doubt in a great many and belief in some is a true victory for the Truth Movement. To me, the fraudulent election is but a minor transgression as compared to the crimes that have been committed over the past several years but it is an important one. It is a crime that people can understand and believe. It is a crime that does not induce shock and incapacitate free thought. It’s a crime that may very well break the dam and destroy George Bush and the extreme right-wing agenda in a flood of truth.

The vote fraud is important for several reasons. Voting is something that many Americans take very seriously. Americans can be fooled when there is no choice but you can’t fool them when it comes time to make a choice. The nature of a society of consumers is that people make choices to better their situation. They choose where to live, what to buy and who they associate with. They are also very aware that there are those who would seek to limit those choices. Even the most ignorant American understands the concept of a monopoly, whether real or exaggerated, and that the presence of a monopoly will limit the opportunity to gain. To convince an American that someone is trying to steal an election is a very easy thing. To convince them that it was their candidate or party is not an easy thing but that’s not necessary. The important thing is to get them to question. If we can do this, we will defeat the right-wing agenda.

The lies that have been sold to so many millions of people cannot hold the scrutiny of an eye that searches for truth. No matter how much denial a person may muster, that shadow of doubt begins to grow until it becomes a powerful force unto itself. This is what is being nurtured by this inquiry, the shadow of doubt.

The Bush Regime is under attack right now, let there be no doubt. The Abuse scandal outlined by Seymour Hersh in Chain of Command leaves little doubt that there are many inside of our government who do not support the right wing agenda. There are many who are on our side, the side of Freedom and Truth. But there is a dilemma that must be solved. If Bush’s wall of lies is exposed, the damage this information would do to our government would be catastrophic. That's why it hasn't happened, yet. There needs to be a way to cripple the right-wing agenda and maintain the illusion of Government. I am convinced that this struggle is taking place right now.

Many people believe he can’t be beaten but this is wrong. He can, anyone can. It’s just harder to take down some than others. The people who are working against Democracy in America are organized and well funded. There are also a lot of them. Many do not realize that they are even working on the wrong side. Some are good God fearing Americans who bleed Red, White and Blue. They just don’t know the part they played, yet.

This fraudulent election shows us several things. It shows us the nature and the scope of this organization and it shows us the extent of their power. Many believe that this power is absolute. It is not. If it were absolute, there would be no need to even maintain the illusion of the election. It also shows us that they make a great many mistakes that we can exploit. It shows us that we are succeeding in a way I have only dreamt of until today.

As the Doubt begins to filter through the land and more and more begin to question, the hunt for Truth begins. That is what has brought so many to this forum and that’s the revolution that is taking place, right before our eyes. A change is taking place, a desire to effect that change is rising in a great many people and it is only going to grow. The Truth Movement is growing and this force is affecting change. So many have never questioned the truth behind 9/11, Al Qeada, Bush, our Government but everyday, more and more people are.

The regime of George Bush is good at manipulating the truth but not that good. They make mistakes and their mistakes are going to cost them. For example, they lack the foresight to plan for a propaganda war. This is illustrated by calling the insurgents in Iraq, terrorists. They called them terrorists so they could do several things. First it would remove the rebels from the protective shield of the Geneva Conventions. Secondly, it would reinforce the concept that these rebels, for that is what they are, are somehow linked to the 9/11 “terrorist” attacks. They sought to expand the use of the word terrorist to encompass a broad range of activities, many of which did not maintain the illusion of truth. This has quickly broken down. They are now trying desperately to raise the shadow of Bin Laden and tie him to al-Zarqawi. This is also doomed to fail. The Iraqi Insurgency does not benefit in anyway to an overt and public alliance with Bin Laden or the word “Terrorist”. It makes no sense as a direct link to Bin Laden would jeopardize the aid they are receiving from Iran and Syria. But they are trying to sell it anyway. This lack of planning will result in a defeat in the propaganda battle. It’s stupid and desperate. It shows they are under attack. It also shows that when they are under attack, they make the same stupid moves.

They can be beaten. It’s just going to take resolve. It’s also going to take you. It’s going to take you seeking the truth out and telling people what you know. To spread the Doubt, we must be creative and bold. We must learn how to get people to seek the truth. We must learn how to plant the seed of doubt and let the specter of Doubt grow until they see truth. This is a hard thing to do, believe me. I struggle everyday but I am heartened to see that finally, there is a chance of success.


Sincerely,
Michael Lewis

1. Do you believe the last Bin Laden tape is a fake?
The one where he basically endorses Zarqawi.

Otherwise, I agree with the spirit of your post. Thanks for the uplift.

2. clear information beats the neocon bunch every time
I posted this yesterday and I'm doing so again because as my subject line states - clear info in the minds of the people will beat the neocons. I won't post this again, not trying to spam DU. But I'm reposting in light of the bold step taken by Rep. Conyers today. If he can do what he's done, how small of an act is it for the rest of us to get our thinking straight about what's going on in our government?

The title of this 3 part program is: The power of nightmares / The rise of the politics of fear. This is a recent (in the past month 1/2) BBC program that delves into information most know but the presentation is of a type we (in the US) haven't seen in quite a few years. If you haven't see this video, please do yourself a favor and take time out to watch it.

The file format is Real Media so the video quality isn't that great. But it's viewable immediately and if you want higher video quality perhaps someone can find the torrent and seed it for DU.

for quick download of first ep.

Lo-Fi (but Full-Screen watchable!)
