Silence is Consent

If you don't speak up you accept what is happening. This site was born out of the mainstream media's inability to cover the news. I am just an American cititzen trying to spread the word in the era of FCC consolidation, post 9/11 Patriot Act hysteria, hackable voting machines and war without end. I rant and post news items I perceive to be relevant to our current situation.

All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent.
- Thomas Jefferson

I read something today that reinforces what I have been thinking about for a few weeks. Remember when Bush was running for president and his campaign kept saying that he would be the first CEO president? They also said he would be the first president with an MBA. Well, we all know the bashing CEO's have gotten since our CEO president took over. Now is it any surprise that it appears that he Enron-ized us on Iraq?!! He's running our government just like a business, stealing the shareholders pensions to fund a bunch of scams! So don't be surprised when the pink slip comes and you get told that it's just a business decision, but that you are no longer American enough and that they just can't afford to keep you on anymore. It was these two paragraphs, from Analyst pressured to distort WMD data , that triggered it:
Bush IS in trouble. All this blather about him raising money and Howard Dean being McGovern and the rest of the Dems unable to challenge him is nonsense you would do well to tune out. An Army officer summed it up: Iraq is everything for Bush. And true to his pattern of mismanagement and failure, Iraq is coming up snake eyes. To understand Bush, you need to understand he's a gambler. Oil men usually are. But he's been spared the lessons of failure by rich patrons.

Now, Iraq is turning out like every other Bush venture he's tried to manage, abject failure. This time, there are no patrons to protect him and the people around him see the world through such blinkers they pose a clear and present danger to his presidency.
He makes nice points about how with Watergate, things stopped and started several times but eventually enough came out to fry Nixon. So don't lose hope. Remember your pResident was a CEO, so now we know he was a crook coming in.
