Crossfire At
The Crossroads

There's an election coming up in November: and if the United States were a functioning Democracy there would be one simple question included on every ballot, in every state this November. That question would be:
 
"Should George W. Bush be impeached? YES or NO!"
 
Of course it's now too late to add this essential question to the ballot, yet every other question being put to the voters this year is just a variant of this core issue. The fact that congress and the courts have not seen fit to ask this question, or to look at why it has become so necessary to the continuing life of the nation ­ is but one more proof that 'the system' has long-since been shattered! All sides complain that too many people don't vote, yet neither party ever chooses to offer people any real choice, on any issue. The powerful that own this country and a large number of other nations besides, are gloating over the fact that they can now totally control all the old-traditions to the point that there are now no choices left; within the systems-to alter their hammer-lock on political power, wherever this topic arises in the world today.
 
The coming election is that place where national, state and local performances, by politicians in public offices, must be measured and accounted for. In that spirit the performance records of this administration matter, and should be looked at carefully ­ as they uniformly deviate from common sense, from reason, from balance, and from international and civil laws that have been settled law for at least five decades.
 
Question: Bush says that His policies are the only way to deal with the problems that this nation faces, at home and abroad. What then has been the result of his actions, on the safety and effectiveness for Americans of his sacrosanct policies?
 
"Since taking office President Bush allowed detainees (14,000 in Iraq alone) to be tortured, renditioned, jailed indefinitely without charges or "tried" in a process ruled unconstitutional by the US Supreme Court and he has illegally tapped our phones (since 2001). All of this was done in the name of his global war on terror. According to data from the National Memorial Institute for the Prevention of Terrorism since 2000 the number of global terrorist incidents is up 470 percent, the number of fatalities is up by 1,380 per cent and the number of injured is up by 670 percent." So much for Bush's claims 'that we are now safer, because of all his continued violations of US and International Laws,' and this doesn't include the secret no-bid contracts that have broken the US treasury into a million pieces. Some of his additional crimes include the over 500 'signing statements' which infer that Bush has the right to disregard any law that he finds offensive to his personal preferences. Lately he's been trying to make the case that he has the right to over-rule the US Supreme Court whenever they interfere with his view of his role as the civilian in charge of the US military, or in his capacity as the US Commander-in-Chief. Bush has expanded his own role by claiming military control over all civilians anywhere in the world, not just Americans; as he believes that he and he alone has the right to bring about regime-change anywhere in the world, as the Commander-in-Chief of the World. The man is deluded, and the world knows it. George W. Bush is painting targets on the backs of every American that travels anywhere in the world outside the USA. How does this make anyone safer?
 
Beyond Bush's childish view that Islam lies at the heart of world-wide terrorism are some little known, and seldom discussed facts. "Not fully explained to the Western people are that the World's over 1 billion people of the Islamic faith are all that stands between our most ancient of masters and total control of the World's entire banking system because of the Muslims refusal to charge interest as their religion deems it an affront to God, and which fighters for freedom throughout our history have warned humanity that our greatest threat to freedom lies not in Armies or Empires, but in those that control the banks and money.
 
This was, perhaps, best articulated by one of the founding fathers of the American Empire, Thomas Jefferson, who warned the future generations of his Nation of the dangers of these ancient monsters by saying:
 
"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. Already they have raised up a monied aristocracy that has set the government at defiance. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people to whom it properly belongs."
 
It is also fitting, and has indeed also been foretold, that the American Empire now stands astride the ancient lands of Mesopotamia, including Babylon, and from which our ancient evil masters had also begun their attempt to totally enslave human beings, but because of the Great Overturning of our Earth {have} ceased their machinations.
 
Today these evil dragons, and through their thousand's of years efforts to rediscover and reclaim their lost technology and ancient machines of war, are set, once again, to slip the chains of slavery upon every human being that will accept them, and to those who will not accept their chains to death will be their only escape from the greater horrors to come." Sorcha Faal. 9-18-06.
 
This contradiction-in-terms that labels all Muslims as 'the enemy' because of their reluctance to bow down to the multinational Corporatocracy's demands over all commerce and banking in the wider world ­ is what has been behind these wars that Bush and his handlers claim is an effort to 'thwart freedom and democracy in the Middle East.' Beyond the lies themselves, on which US policies has been based for the last five years; there are the huge numbers of those maimed, displaced, or murdered by war crimes and the sheer brutality that began with Israel's war upon the Palestinians over fifty years ago. This was meant to be concluded under the iron fists of the New World Order, figuratively directed by the "Wag-the-Dog" policies of George W. Bush and his criminal-cohorts. .
 
What is really on the line now is whether the United States is being ruled by a constitutionally elected leader or a bandit in collusion with a global monopoly that seeks a society where there is only one ruler over the global financial world. If the latter is true, then what lies ahead will be a global war that will make WWII with its 60 million dead look like a walk in the park. If the former is to be achieved, then that question of impeachment must be asked of the American electorate: especially since neither the Congress nor the Courts seem willing to ask this in our names.
 
To get to this point much has been made of those who are trying to live 'The American Dream" But, "It's called 'the American Dream' because you have to be asleep to believe it," says George Carlin in "Who Really Controls America" (1) Unfortunately the phrase is true. And it's becoming even more accurate with every day that passes. The American Century could easily become known as the Rip-Van-Winkle-Era; because too many have chosen to sleep their way through the spiraling collapse of American society on virtually every front. Whole decades have drifted into and out-of-view while generations have been left at the mercy of the shifting-whims of greed and profit to the exclusion of all else. It seems that the only thing that too many Americans would like to be awakened for is if they were suddenly to win the lottery ­ nothing else even comes close to a reason for knowing. Truth has always mattered-despite the fact that so many choose to run from any part of that.
 
Also-this country is not, and has never been - 'the HOMELAND' - because for Americans there simply is no such place. There is America, and there are the people of today's America. With the exception of the native populations that survived the 400 year long American Holocaust, there are no true Americans-because most of us came from somewhere else. Those 'other places' were called the Fatherland, or the Motherland, or the Homeland-because those other countries were the birthplaces of 'other' entire races. America was founded as a place for refugees, for outsiders from other societies, for outcasts looking for a second chance; and it was that concept of a second chance that gave this stolen land its promise; for so many millions the world over. The criminal elements in this government have forced this foreign term upon the nation as an indication of the future that was planned for all of us. "The HOMELAND" is the nationwide-name of a concentration camp that is being constructed from the remnants of this nation that was once rich, to enable the new state, a place that will soon directly serve the national security state that has almost been completed in this ninth month of the year 2006. So whenever you hear GWB speak about "protecting the Homeland" ­ what he's talking about is protecting the slave state to come-which is the opposite of protecting the people or the Constitution of the United States of America.
 
What any nation calls itself matters, but what its political spymasters label it as, is entirely "other." There is no mention of the Homeland anywhere in the United States Constitution, and as the constitution is the establishing document for this society laws cannot legally be written for a place that does not yet exist. "The HOMELAND" is a fictitious place: Whatever is said about its' laws has nothing to do with the laws of the United States of America. And yes this matters-but only if you care about the continuing life of this nation.
 
So many different equations have gone into the multi-level quagmire that is now being played out across the world, in the name of the totally illegal interests of the very few that seek to enslave so very many in this real-life version of George Orwell's novel 1984. Under Bush & his Bandits, "War is Peace," and Truth has become the millions of repetitious Lies on which these polices have all been based, since 2001.
 
At the conclusion of World War II an ex-Haberdasher led the USA ­ and literally created the national security state that took over from the democratic government that had formerly served at least part of the functions that it had been elected to perform. Poor Harry, he of the Atom Bomb and of the creation of Israel: Harry was number 33, and he served from 1945 to 1953. Truman was a very simple man far beyond his depth; yet he created the CIA and the illegal National Security State, which ended whatever chance this country ever really had to fulfill any of those grand dreams that its people had once thought possible. It was Truman that gave us the Korean-Police-Action that still has not been concluded, and today his failures are still at the heart of the current stand-off with North Korea. The follies of this well-intentioned man brought on the next major set of contradictions that have led directly to the folly inherent in "the American Dream," as a diversion from the very real control that the National Security Council now wields over the people of this nation.
 
The real 'American Dream' was murdered in a 1973 meeting of the Trilateral Commission in which 300 hundred delegates decided that the people of the world had too much free time on their hands ­ so they changed that. This marked the beginning of the downward slide in wages, and the need for more than one job, just to make ends meet. This was followed by a magic window of personal and sexual freedom sponsored by the birth-control pill that changed so much in the entire society-until AIDS appeared (thanks to the CIA) to close that window on sexual freedom permanently. It was here that the great divide over Left and Right was born again-this time in earnest-as many of the future leaders of both American extremes came of age. The offspring from this frustration led directly to this attempted rewrite of history-to take America back to the days of the Robber-Barons where working people were virtual slaves to their corporate masters, and where both freedom and democracy were merely mythic shadows of themselves to be endlessly discussed-but no longer attainable.
 
It would be marvelously convenient to blame just one group for everything that's happened or will soon happen-but that alone will not stop the nightmare. Please see the references below. What is causing all this is in part systemic, because hate and war begin internally, in every one of us-as does the good stuff that we so often forget completely. People seemed to lose their way when 'money & security' became the largest deity in too many individualized lives. Until people begin to make those hard choices that recognize the facts on the ground (that 911 was a massive crime that involved the participation of several governments, and was not an act of war but a crime against humanity), and that since the evidence was so completely disposed of no thought was given to any other possibility for the events of that day: beyond what the Bush and his criminals have claimed. Still we must prove what really happened, to hide the truth that is everywhere in evidence (which this government labeled as an Act of War). This government lies: that's about the only thing they do consistently. And since the public rarely talks among themselves anymore about anything that might be a problem for them individually ­ this is not likely to change anytime soon. This is what has made the case for silence where there should be public outrage-for ignorance when the call for truth should be screaming-out from every quarter of society!
 
This problem is within each and every one of us. Until we begin to act on what we already know is really part of everything in the farce that we have allowed to become this country in 2006-Because until those facts are faced, there cannot be a nation here that is worthy of that name. There are 6 billion people on this planet. Can a million criminals really be allowed to take and keep control over a population of that size? We vastly outnumber the imposters, isn't it time that people everywhere begin to take back their chosen ways of life?
 
It takes real courage to dream the dreams that can change our personal lives. But that all begins with one simple question that must be answered by the public: "Should George W. Bush be impeached ­ yes or no?"
