A Clear and Present Danger

Okay, it’s time to stop beating around the Bush (pun intended). I believe that our “democracy” was usurped in 2001 when the Supreme Court appointed George W. Bush president, a necessary step for the conspiratorial neoconservative (i.e. military industrial complex) movement to implement the September 11, 2001 attacks on American soil. Time after time—the most recent being former White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan’s expose—we have been informed of the deceitful (and I believe what will someday be proven criminal) and manipulative practices of those for whom the Bush administration fronts. By successfully generating a climate of fear (remember what it used to be like to board an airplane?) these transnational war mongers are managing to bring the world to the brink of disaster for their own gain. So, risking the appearance of being a paranoid lunatic, I’m going to suppose the next step in this evil quest for global domination: there will be a catastrophic event even more horrific than 9/11 just before the November elections in order to justify an unprecedented declaration of martial law that will keep the present powers in place to provide “homeland security” until the (never ending) emergency is past. I cannot believe that we are so gullible as to believe that Rove, Rumsfeld, Perl, Wolfowitz, et al, are just quietly writing their memoirs these days. The same insidious calculation that felled the World Trade Center towers is now preparing the final stage for the demise of the United States Constitution. Not only do we need to elect an entirely new government in November, we need to immediately impeach Bush and Cheney and bring their entire criminal machine to trial. Or, we may want to spend our time figuring out how to get gasoline back to $3.00 a gallon.
