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

More on the Medicare problem. No wonder we're supposedly finding OBL's #2 today
Prescription For A Mess
In order to pass what they said was their most politically important domestic initiative, the White House appears to have done the following: they low-balled the cost by 30%; they lied to Congressional Republicans to get their votes; if lying didn't work, they offered Republican Congressman bribes; and they used bogus taxpayer-funded commercials to sell the new policy. Despite all that, their biggest institutional ally deems the entire effort "a mess," voters not only don't credit Bush with lessening the problem, they blame him for making the problem worse, and the means the White House used to obtain passage of, and build public support for the Medicare bill have spawned investigations into three separate areas, each of which could eventually point back to malfeasance by the White House. No wonder the Bush campaign wants to keep talking about the "War on Terror"; they've got nothing else to talk about.

This is not rocket science. Every time the shit starts hitting the fan they break out a terrorist. In the last few days the violence in Iraq has been picking up. Our first man in Iraq says he was fired because, "My preference was to put the Iraqis in charge as soon as we can, and do it with some form of elections ... I just thought it was necessary to rapidly get the Iraqis in charge of their destiny." Also Rep. Waxman has catalogued the lies. David Corn introduces it, The Worst of Bush's Iraq Whoppers. So remember when all hell is breaking loose it's time to pull a terrorist out of a spider hole. Because if the mainstream media isn't talking about it, it isn't actually happening.
