Fools Part 3
I am quite amazed with the intensity of your revelations regarding the media manipulation of this Iraqi fiasco, and I must apologize for assuming that your oath of allegiance meant trusting a man who will go down in American history as one of the most destructive leaders we've ever elected.
Very few Americans really understand the true meaning of patriotism, but I clearly see that you are one of them. It takes great courage to buck the tide of public opinion which has been overwhelmingly manipulated by a deceitful misinformation campaign of unsurpassed magnitude.
I must admit that I am not "well-informed" in these matters. But over the years I have developed an acute sense of intuition and know when I'm being lied to without knowing "why" or "how." It relieves me that others such as yourself have more to go on than mere "intuition."
It doesn't surprise me that at first many dismissed you as a raving lunatic; it is easier to excuse one's own ignorance by pretending to be saner than the one who reveals an uncomfortable truth or two.
We have been reduced to a country of weak and fearful idiots who do not want to see the obvious. I went to Wal-Mart Monday and was greeted by a store attendant who kindly and calmly asked me to move to the front of the store. Immediately I sensed something amiss and asked lightheartedly if they were getting ready to nab a shoplifter. He wouldn't answer me as he nervously continued ushering us to the front of the store. Then, the amazing phenomenon of mob psychology kicked in, as people started rushing to the exits in near panic. I asked one of the passersby what the hurry was and it all became clear: BOMB THREAT!
My pace was not quickened by this fragment of information.
I scoffed in sheer amusement at this unfolding
scenario. I left the store muttering a few wisecracks about Homeland Security
in practice here and the utter stupidity of how commerce must come to a
grinding halt because some crackpot called in a bomb threat to Wal-Mart in a
politically insignificant town like
In my estimation, a real terrorist isn't interested in warning people first, so why take these ridiculous precautions without a shred of evidence to support the bogus threat?
And this is what has happened at the White House.
Self-appointed Chief Chicken Little Bush has declared that the sky will be
falling if we don't go get the bad guys in
The worst is yet to come as a nation of lemmings continues its "patri-idi-otic" praise of Bush as the fearless leader of the "free" world. Public opinion polls suggest that he is enjoying the highest level of support ever for any president in modern history this late into his 1st term. All this talk of SECURITY seems to pacify a nation of insecure people.
This might turn out to be the worst BOMB THREAT ever. Not one that mangles flesh and bones, but one that makes FEAR the new national anthem and PARANOIA the ruling justification for all acts of self-defense.
I don't know if you have children, but I do. He's only 7. He's not old enough to go to war yet. But if this thing gets any bigger and doesn't find some kind of resolution soon, I'm starting to think it might be wise to hone up on some primitive survival skills. Investors say gold is a good thing to have now. I can't eat that and it doesn't keep me warm however.
The old fight or flight psychology is at war in my mind. It is really hard to do battle with ignorance. I'm keeping an open radar on questions like what I really need and where to go in worst case scenarios. Good water filters and sleeping bags are at the top of the list.
Keep me posted my new friend. I’m charging with you and Ghost Troop!
