What's the Point!

by Jim Kirwan

 

Al-Jazeerah, June 2, 2005

 

 

So many questions, so much disarray in all things political,

financial and social – and all thanks to those who have arranged our

lives to suit themselves: While all that most of us seem to be able

to do is to watch and wait for the next colossal disruption.

 

In this we have come to understand that this New World Order is most

of all a many layered and an ever-descending spiral of lies. The

longer this continues the more convoluted and confounding it becomes,

to even remotely track, as to what still works and what has failed.

 

Technically we have survived massive job displacements, a continuing

implosion in the balance of trade, semi-chaos in financial circles

that are flirting with oblivion – and through it all there has been

no willingness to alter course. In the society at large we have gone

from possibly the freest nation on earth to one of the most

conflicted populations on the planet. We are immersed in two wars,

yet we seem to remain in complete denial of that hideous fact. The

number of the dead mounts daily, both of our own, and of the others

that we routinely slaughter – calling them " insurgents " – which is a

complete misnomer. The definition of that term requires that there be

an " authority " in place – and since we began these wars that has not

been the case for those that oppose our forces. The White House

solution for this " semantics problem " has been to propose US Death

squads to " pacify " places where rebellion against US hegemony in any

area might be building. Through it all, our own dead and wounded and

their treatment by this government that put them In Harm's Way, is

still SECRET, because it's bad PR to tell the truth!

 

There are yet deeper levels of these lies, that the above cover

stories were meant to hide. One of the first real accomplishments of

this administration, since they committed the attacks of 911, was to

officially Capture Freedom: and with the imposition of the first

Patriot Act, the official perversion of Justice also began. All of

that was completed with the appointment of a National Intelligence (which was just another cover, because that position is a

function that the president alone is responsible for). By passing the

buck again, the Bush-gang has inserted yet another tar-baby between

the people and those responsible for the actions of this government –

against the people they took an oath to defend!

 

A by-product of this illegal seizure of the freedom that this nation

was founded to foster – was implemented on 5-10-05 – and is called

the REAL I.D. Card. This signaled the surrender of all privacy

rights, and all information along with whatever rumors might be

included – for anyone who reads the new ID card: so that everyone's

entire life will now be a completely open book for the Outlaws to

scan at the click of a keystroke.

 

These two things were huge losses for the American people: Losses

that exceed the combined loss of pensions, health care, education,

and national security: all of which continue to grow by the minute.

 

One has to wonder where the bouncing ball of outlaw criminality will

finally come to rest in this land, where Suspicion has been loosed on

every side. To the political correctness of the discredited Extreme

Left, along with the vastly more vocal Extreme Right this government

has now chosen to add Religious bigotry and hatred of deeply rooted

differences between people – as a political potpourri-of-the-day. No

society can survive such concerted attacks on all fronts – because

any viable society has to be founded on common interests between and

among its citizens, with a reasonable expectation that its leaders

will not flagrantly lie to them about every single thing that

leadership does with the money, and the national goodwill –

supposedly created in all our names.

 

When a lawyer or a writer or a doctor is caught in an outright

professional lie, there are consequences – but when a nation is taken

to war based on an entire cracker-barrel filled with vile and

outright lies and hundreds of thousands of people are killed because

of those lies – how can there be ?no consequences " ? The world knows

what we did – and they will not forget, it is only we who have chosen

not to notice.

 

The longer this continues: the more bold and fearless the Outlaws

have become, yet " the people " do not raise their voices. All the

states are flirting with bankruptcy, the infrastructure of the nation

is in shambles, and government's solution is to pack the courts with

sympathetic judges who will overrule the public and increase the

license for the criminals to continue their desecration of our

national resources, while they intensify their drive to imprison or

murder any who might even think about resisting them.

 

Our prisons are overflowing with " drug offenders " another by-product

of the War on Drugs. That little stunt is something that several

investigative journalists have paid for with their lives, when they

tried to expose the truth behind the headlines. One almost unnoticed

fact is that we have now allowed JUSTICE and the expectation of that

concept – to be openly and flagrantly ignored – because we have

nationally adopted a zero tolerance for crime, when committed by

people, while we have steadfastly refused to fully prosecute the

corporations that have been the true driving force behind the Outlaws

for all these many decades.

 

We have no collective conscience anymore, no self-respect, because no

outrage rises when we are " taken " yet again – all we have is our tiny

selves and those precious habits that we want to keep on having – so

we smugly go about our lives as if nothing has really changed. But –

EVERYTHING has changed!

 

How much more has to be done to this population before ordinary

people finally scream – ENOUGH! IF we have no freedom, no expectation

of fair or just treatment in the overburdened courts of this land,

where " justice " is an anachronism under glass and no longer a living-

breathing thing – then what is the point?

 

Where is the truth being spoken in this fear-filled place that used

to be called " The Home of the Free " but is now known as " The No-

Longer Brave. " Without freedom or privacy, or the right to own

anything including the money in your own bank account (read both

Patriot Acts) – then how can we continue to delude ourselves about

the future – because in this scenario there is no private future for

anyone who is not part of that insider's club that pulls the strings

on George & his puppet staff of pretenders to prominence. Americans

have begun to live their lives on their knees: Have we forgotten how

to stand against injustice?

 

The capture of Freedom along with sending Justice back to the Dark

Ages ought to be grounds for impeachment – but there is not a whisper

of complaint. This note is a frontal assault upon what has happened

to us – but it is by no means a surrender to anything that might yet

transpire. So long as there is still nature and the quirks of

everyday experience, there is a chance of survival.

 

We have had two Bush Wars, and we have lost both times – not directly

but in every other way. We have seen our lives get smaller, more

controlled in every way – Bush says that it's the " terrorists " – but

it is Bush and his co-conspirators that have stolen what we had, and

all of whatever we might want to be. No " terrorist " or foreign

country could have done that to us! We've been sabotaged by tyrants

inside this government, by Outlaws using treason, to steal what they

could never take in any other way. Along the way we have allowed a

fringe group to dictate law and behavior, in every conceivable way –

in a nation that once prided itself on difference, on independent

thought – and above all on freedom from censorship regardless of the

source.

 

We are living on the backs of the rest of the world who are resisting

the USA and who will continue to do that. The day will come when we

will pay with our lives for this massive duplicity and denial in

which we are wallowing. This is what I see, and for me there is NO

POINT in having allowed these crimes to continue!
