Enough, no more !
Are you shocked ?
You should be because this is the current state
of our so called ' war on terror ' .
Beheadings, torture, humiliation, rape ~ you
name it and we have set the standard with
our illegal power grab of Iraq and flagrant disregard
of the Geneva conventions.
Who are we ?
What have we become ?
What happened ?
Good questions for Americans who must decide
this November on the future direction of this
country.
Who are we ?
We are the enemy detested by the vast majority
of the world who have watched in shock and
disbelief as we imposed our will on the United Nations
and willfully mislead the world in the process
of our brazen occupation of Iraq.
What have we become ?
We have become wanton outlaws riding under the banner
of a neo-conservative pipe dream oblivious of
the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
What happened ?
We gave away our power because of fear and in so
doing ~ we severed our delicate Congressional and
Executive balance of power .
And yes , the mass-media has more than played its part
in the resultant executive branch shameless abuse of power .
George Orwell describes it well in 1984 ~ "The process [of mass-media deception] has to be conscious, or it would not be carried out with sufficient precision, but it also has to be unconscious, or it would bring with it a feeling of falsity and hence of guilt.... To tell deliberate lies while genuinely believing in them, to forget any fact that has become inconvenient, and then, when it becomes necessary again, to draw it back from oblivion for just so long as it is needed, to deny the existence of objective reality and all the while to take account of the reality which one denies — all this is indispensably necessary."
In short , we have been had and our silent voices have
set the stage for this humiliating abduction .
Without the Internet the sordid truth would still be whispered
and largely ignored ~ but with the Internet the truth has become obvious ~ we have found our voice and joined the voices of our brothers and sisters throughout the world ~ who demand truth not lies, cooperation not separation and peace not war.
Just like the people of Spain ~ we have the power to stop the four Horseman of Hubris ( Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz ) in their tracks and reclaim our country and our
integrity in the process.
Are you shocked ?
You should be because that severed head is what
mans inhumanity to man has finally become.
It's time to universally exclaim ~ enough , no more !
