BY REQUEST: Have you noticed? While citizen demands remain bottled up in Congress,
(Reposted with additions as main thread by request)

Have you noticed?
While citizen demands remain bottled up in Congress,
the agenda of global fascism rolls ever forward:


Gonzales is untrustworthy and "possibly" criminal --> Give Gonzales control of domestic spying

    Meanwhile,
  • We're still in Iraq
  • We're still being spied on
  • Torture is still happening
  • Guantanamo and "secret renditions" are still operational
  • Jobs are still being outsourced oversees
  • Immigration is still lowering our standard of living
  • Our borders are still wide open
  • Cargo is still largely not inspected
  • Our voting systems are still in the hands of our overlords
  • Our elections are still being manipulated and stolen
  • Our freedoms are still being compromised
  • Our education system is still failing
  • Our infrastructure is still collapsing
  • Our veterans are still being shorted
  • Universal health care is still a pipe dream
  • Tax breaks are still targeting billionaires
  • Social Security is still being raided
  • Major media is still corporately inspired and controlled
  • The North American Free Trade initiative is still barreling forward
  • The environment is still eroding toward irreversible crisis
  • China is still poisoning us
  • Propaganda still thrives
  • Oil is still king

  • Our Democracy is still lost


Oh, but they did raise our minimum wage!

The writing on the wall is still
the writing on the wall!

1. We won't last as long as Rome did.
And when we go it will be with a whimper, and not a bang.

4. very nice list
sometimes I get so overwhelmed that my memory goes to hell. This list, concise and complete, really hits home. It's reminding me of all the things my mind has blocked out, probably to maintain what little sanity i have left.

What a mess.

Send this list as a letter to your local newspaper. It deserves publication.

5. Well said, Kip.
Its depressing as hell to see your list in black and white on the computer screen but its dead on. You should make this a LTTE and send it to every major newspaper as well as to your own.

15. Not eprfect by a long site. There are loose threads and evidence laying around EVERTYWHERE
They "genius" of this "perfect crime" was the fufillment of Watergate's Dream, which was to so thoroughly neutralize and cow the Democrats, that they could or no longer would function like an opposition party, but more like the German Social Democrats of 1933.

Petty criminals dream of committing the perfect crime, but State Crminals like a Hitler or a Bush seek to control the crime scene and law enforcement apparatus, thus securing in the aftermath and incriminating evidence left behind.

And the Busheviks don't even bother to do this, which is hide their crimes. They just do they and then pronounce it legal. If they are not arrested and hauled off to trial, then the illegal is now "legal".

Lather. Rinse. Repeat.

It is the formula of tyrants in all ages of history.

It can now no longer be denied that it is also the formula of Amerika, which no longer deserves the 'c' in it's name and has not, in my opinion, since 12/12/2000, the day everything changed.
