Irregular Times Diaries: Unfit Discussion
In a time of the spring, old paths are obscured and new growth begins.
Irregular Times Diaries: Unfit DiscussionIn a time of the spring, old paths are obscured and new growth begins.
The House of Representatives went and gave the final congressional vote to reauthorize the Patriot Act, and in so doing, assured that the Patriot Act will continue. I’m left asking why.
It’s been made clear that the intelligence community knew of the threat of Al Qaeda crashing airplanes into big buildings. They knew of Al Quaeda terrorists in the US. They knew, they knew, they had the information necessary to put the puzzle together. I’m not saying they had the time or date, like a conspiracy theory, but the problem with September 11 happening was not lack of adequate intelligence. It was lack of competence and coordination.
Little bits of the Patriot Act deal with that, and that can be put in another bill. The rest of the Patriot Act just isn’t necessary, especially not the parts that give the federal government new powers to spy on American citizens.
Yet, Democrats and Republicans alike voted for this terrible law AGAIN.
I’m telling you, I’m feeling like our Congress is living behind a wall of peanut butter, and they just don’t see or hear or feel what the rest of America is feeling. They’re incapable of it, it seems. Even the obvious signs, the clear public rejection of the whole Bush agenda, doesn’t get through to them.
Our current strategy to persuade Congress isn’t working. How can we make it work? How can we make, in particular the stiff and dense Democratic leadership wake up?

I wouldn’t have said it before, and my fingers are resisting the attempt to write these words, but…
…perhaps it’s time to stop voting Democrat.
Gall, what do you have in mind?

Peanut butter? Why peanut butter? Is it a reference to homogenized nuttiness? Because it sticks to the roof of the collective political mouth? Are we talking crunchy or smooth? Perhaps only the Republicans live behind a wall of peanut butter while the Democrates live behind a wall of jam — probably strawberry. Or maybe chocolate. Chocolate would be good. Combine the two parties (”Hey! You got civil liberties on my law and order!” “You got law and order on my civil liberties!”)
Must think about this…

You know how, when you eat too much peanut butter too fast, your chest gets all gummed up and stuck feeling? That’s what I’m talking about.
I’m also talking about how it would feel to walk in peanut butter. Sticky, and slow.
So, imagine a wall of peanut butter, separating you from reality. It’s thick, and sticky, and opaque, and you can’t just blast your way through it, because you get gummed up in it.
The essence of peanut butter I was trying to get to was the feeling of being hindered. It’s not literal. It’s an aesthetic thing.

Whether Democrat or Republican, everyone must look up ‘America’s true history’, and also see the following websites to read just how much and how long our media has sent us down a dangerous path.
‘ http://www.judicialaccountability.org ‘ and read, ‘ Victimization by Justice ‘ by a silenced New York Lawyer, and listened to: ‘ http://www.cinemazo.com/TheFixer.wmv ‘.
‘ Indymedia.us - english (original) ‘ ‘ FAQ on American Judicial and Legal Corruption ‘ that is where you’ll read that our Courts and Laws were taken over by our Judges in this country, and that they gave themselves immunity.
‘ www.corporatepolicy.org/issues/crime.htm ‘ this website tells you that Corporations have signed ‘Deferred Prosecution Agreements’ which gives them ‘immunity’ from their crimes, that they have or will have committed.
When everyone realizes all the media purchases, or looks up who sits on the ‘CFR’ (Counsel on Foreign Relations) they will read why maybe we’ve never heard the news we needed to hear, or that what you heard was distorted or staged, (i.e. about people in prison without trials, 911, Israel, the sexual predators sitting in our so called elected Offices, why our votes are not counted, who is controlling our weapons, about the millions of protestors and rallies going on, or how the president just replaces the department of justice officials when he is being investigated, etc.).
If you look up how our Federal Reserve was started on Jeckle Island, you will eventually be directed to websites such as the ‘FED’, ‘Leo Wanta’, the ‘Missing Trillions’ of U.S. funds’.
Along your trails, you’ll realize why our government is not investigating countless deaths or court corruption, and how they want us to believe that the crime rate is down.
Everyone should learn the major difference between search engines for the Internet, and also know that it is the last place we have to go, and to protect the only thing left for us to find the truth.
After reading about our Forefathers, it is amazing what they had foreseen about ‘bearing arms’, ‘monopolizing’, and ‘corporations’. We must stop the global elitist, stop media monopoly, stop the ‘Deferred Agreements’, for the corporate criminals, keep our weapons, and know that that was how America really did become the safest and greatest country that it once was.

Well Debbie, Im not trying to start up any kind of arguement, but I believethat when you say “We must stop the global elitist”, the government sees that as “we must overthrow the world powers” and those arethe type of things the the Patriot Act is used for. Thigs like possible conspiracies plots to overthrow government, anarchy etc… Not to say that you want to overthrow the government, but in terms of the Patriot Act and when refering to the government I would choose the words I say just a little bit more carefully. Remember they have the ability to see and hear everything we do…yikes!

Debbie,
I see that you are passionate about America and I like that. Though I disagree with your synopsis of our current state I am not going to debate it here. Suffice it to say that our friends and enemies read blogs like these and get their own ideas about America.
Who is controlling my weapons? Well gentle reader - I control my own weapons and I have lots of them. It will be gun carrying Americans who will save this country from the muslims in the next few years. Anyway, good post Debbie, but go easy on the opinions stated as facts otherwise you sound like the network news and big media that you wrote about.
No one of us is as stupid as all of us.
