- Kucinich Poison
-
- He calls for new constitutional convention -- but who
controls the media, education, think tanks, lawyers, and the political
fixers operating in every community?
-
- Commentary
- By Dick Eastman
- 11-15-7
-
-
- After his "for-show" call for impeachment,
Dennis Kucinich now -- equally for show (we hope) plants the idea of a
new constitutional convention.
-
- Stop and think a minute.
-
- The impeachment call in this Congress was a deliberate
fail -- actually a premeditated boost for Nancy Pelosi and AIPAC -- giving
them the see-I-told-you-so-now-please-shut-up they desperately needed
to continue ignoring the voters.
-
- Remember, Kucinich's job in this presidential election,
as in the last, is to hold anti-war voters in the Democratic party so he
can turn them over to Hillary Clinton on election night when it is too
late to bolt and build up a third party effort (exactly as he did for Kerry
in 2004.) -- Remember, Kucinich has already publically declared that he
will vote for pro-war pro-globalization AIPAC-owned Clinton if she wins
the Democrat Party nomination. So now that "impeachment" move
psy-op is over with the switches to the next scam, calling for a new constitutional
convention,
-
- A new constitutional convention? But who controls the
media to frame the issues? Who controls the pollsters who will load the
questions and pre-select the samples to generate the "public opinion"
that will inform the new convention? WHo controls the universities (political
scientists, law professors, historians etc.)? Who controls education (spin
to the captive kiddies who go home and inform their parents)? Who controls
entertainment, where everything from sitcoms to action movies to soap operas
have political messages imbedded in the scripts? Who has the constitutional
lawyers on retainer? Who has an army of internet operatives to guide their
preferred views and derail contrary viewpoints in a totally unregulated
and unaccountable environment? And who owns the political fixers with
potentially bottomless pocketbooks who operate on the sly in every community
of the nation? Who, indeed, but the money power who are exactly the same
people as now own Congress and are the corrupters beind all all of the
laws and power-cedeing resolutions that are destroying this country and
all of our lives.

- The Constitution we have is not the government that men
fought the American Revolution to get. The revolution that began in 1776
was fought for a compact of states held together by Articles of Confederation
-- a masterpiece of decentralization of power -- but not to the liking
of Easterners alligned with the money power -- who wanted a centralized
government that could tax and make profitable war and set up a central
bank etc. And so the Money Power manipulated the country into near bankruptcy
so that a new government would be formed. But even then the states did
not want a new constitution, they just wanted some revisions to improve
the old one. But Alexander Hamilton and other agents of the money power
had a different agenda and eventually they won over and the current Constitution
was developed -- but not without a fight from the "anti-Federalists"
who included Madison and Jefferson who fought Hamilton tooth and nail
to get the Constitution we now have. (This constitution could have gone
either way.
- Unfortunately, another tool of the money power, John
Marshall, became Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and so the Hamiltonians
got what they wanted by "loose construction", including and especially
a central bank.) I mention this only to make this point: If you call
a Constitutional Convention you empower men to rewrite the Constitution
and you do so at a time when the public has absolutely no control over
who will be selected and what they will stand for. What Kucinich is doing
is paving the way for a new form of government that is in fact already
written and waiting to be pushed upon us -- all that is needed is the right
"rubber stamp" Constitutional Convention to do the job.
-
- Dennis Kucinich is the last person to know what amendments
need to be added to the Constitution to repair it. I have elsewhere suggested
that we return to having state legislatures pick US Sentators, a system
that worked well (in terms of quality of Senators) until direct elections
were pushed on us in 1913 -- and of course the Founding Fathers were exactly
against this type of "democracy" for the higher chamber of the
legislature. I have also suggested that we return to the Founding Fathers
original conception of having people select electors from among the wisest
people of each community and having these electors get together in the
electorial college and pick from any citizen over 35 years of age who is
not a criminal the best president for the job without recourse to political
parties (which are only organized interests working for graft and patronage
and monopoly priviledge at everyone else's expense.) But this is not what
Dennis Kucinich is after. And he is not after the amendments that you
would want either.

- There is not shortcut to good government. You can't
get around a corrupt congress by somehow finding human saints or heavenly
angels to come out of nowhere and write a new constitution for you. To
create a constitutional convention and then get it ratified, while the
Congress stands by and lets it happen -- can only be the work of the money
power and its overriding mission of erradicating the last shreds of Jeffersonianism
still in effect, still capable of resuscitation. There is only one way
to do it right and that is to throw out the present congress -- and do
so despite the advantages of the money power in the processes of politics
and information distribution. This will take a revolution -- hopefully
not a bloody one -- but Homeland Security and a hundred executive orders
are in place to make sure it can't happen without first overcoming incredible
state power bent on sustaining the money power's hold on government, economy,
resources and debt-slave labor units. No one wants this necessary warfare
-- but there is no other way to freedom from the Money Power except by
fighting in showdown after showdown -- knowing that the Money Power is
international and that, as always, they will bring foreign mercenaries,
particularly Israelis, and, perhaps (realistically, but let us hope not)
decisively, China's military and economic might.
- I say we make war on Congress and the Political parties
and do it fast.
-
- Ron Paul is not the leader for this struggle and certainly
beyond all certainties Kucinich isn't either.
- But it must be done. (I suggest Bob Bowman -- he would
make the right decisions and oversee the undertaking in all of the theaters
of conflict that are necessary -- if his health will allow it.)

- Here is what tbacane wrote:
-
- Is this [Kucinich's new Constitutional Convention]
really a good idea or is it another ploy by the traitors to seize total
power by turning the Constitution into something evil? After all the Constitution
and the laws it represents have been enough for over two hundreds years
all we really need is for the damn politicians to stop making excuses and
do their jobs and support that documents and all those it represents!
Which would mean impeaching the traitors and law breakers , removing them
from office and either jailing them or executing them or both. Just think
with the sickness and corruption in government today a conventional convention
could in fact codify all the corruption and down right treason that
is currently illegal under the current Constitution. So think people and
lets force the bastards to do their jobs under the current laws which they
are ignoring then a Constitutional Convention would be a mote issue!
