Bush takes one more step toward outright fascism.

Well, theoretically they can vote the bums out of office but that is mostly unlikely to happen.We are living near the summit on the descending side of empire here and the crowds want bread and circuses, that is to say nowadays fast food and 3000 channels of television.Media companies try to make the news as entertaining as possible so it can compete with umm, "reality tv?". I can't say for sure which of the two formats are more unreal.I mean many Americans are prepared to believe that the abuse of Iraqi prisoners was masterminded by a pregnant non com. I mean officers wouldn't allow such goings on if they knew right? I guess Americans treasure their image of military officers as Dudley Doorights, all honorable and good hearted but rather stupid and it's very easy for the enlisted personnel to pull the wool over their eyes and get up to all kinds of mischief without their knowledge.In short, I see no hope until the pain of the national debt begins to awaken some citizens to the harsh reality that they been had by the oligarchs who have co opted the democracy.lfen

I know. I went for the name identification. It was a poor analogy. Probably should have dropped it. The thing is I knew when the story first broke that the as sure as ___ runs down hill the brass would find some little group of noncoms to pin the whole thing on, and the bulk of Americans would buy it.And yet enough of them have either been in the service or have someone close to them in the service to explain how the fix was in. The media, congress, almost everyone went along with the charade. They had military intelligence in there supervising. They don't let guys wander around without uniforms or id just anywhere unless they are some one like that.It's was all so depressingly predictable, the whole disgusting scapegoating that lets the guilty parties off to continue their wickedness.lfenSo now they this little pregnant noncom who was probably following military intelligence orders in jail and the problem has been solved. They should have canned a lot of generals over that. Tom Ricks was pointing out that in other wars officers have been removed from command. But as we sink in the corruption of the Bush regime...well, pinning the thing on a pregnant noncom is so debased as well as insulting our intelligence except the press didn't seem to be insulted which really is scary.Edited by lfen, : discovered my rant wasn't quite over.

And evidence has been provided tha aliens are abducting our citizens and stealing our ovum. I suppose Roslyn never happened.I'm thinking I'll use your posts as a study guide in how to assert anything I please by omiting any citations. It's easy to make up anything I want. I don't even have to go to the trouble of googling on anything. Just type a way stream of conscious. Like about Big Foot is the risen Christ and part of a conspiracy involving the Vatican and the green party of Germany. Yep, it's easy to make up stuff as I go. I can even throw in quantum mechanic to prove the big foot exists because otherwise how can you collapse time and the creation borderline? This is true. It's all true. I say so and more importantly you can't refute it, so it must be true!lfen Edited by lfen, : No reason given.
