It's Not Your Government.


The following rant, is of course, the ravings of a madman, in a dark night, against the crashing surf of a growing storm.

While we are given the candy show of an Ohio vote fraud hearing in which absolutely nothing will change except for the grand promises, Patriot Act two is now in the senate for passage.
Unread except for the designers of this last stop before a police state, It includes a national ID and carte blanch to the intelligence services who have served our interests so well for all these years.

During the coming train wreck of economy, food and power, even without the prospect of another attack by al CIAduh, the enemy must have the control in place to quell the outrage of the American population as the ruined infrastructure crumbles. In the game of chess, all the pieces, even the King is expendable to the player or the game would not be played. It's up now to the people who care, to record the times and tell the truth because the truth is, we are all brothers and sisters on this world fighting for our very lives adversaries who have thrown away the fellowship of humankind and turned against us. They would make us their slaves. We must look above the board to the hands that move us, showing the blade's edge for the reaching fingers.
If they fight all of us, they will lose, more than just their board pieces.

December 7, 2004


If you were a member of Congress, would you vote "yes" on a 3,000 page bill that you never had a chance to read? Most reasonable people wouldn't. Most reasonable people would want to read and study legislation before deciding how to vote; especially legislation as monumental as the intelligence reorganization legislation or the so-called 9/11 bill.


And monumental it is. The legislation would greatly affect various intelligence and military agencies and procedures; financial systems; international relations; not to mention civil liberties. In addition, the Congressional Budget Office estimates that the legislation will cost $14.4 billion to implement between 2005 and 2009. That's $14.4 billion on top of the normal annual budgets for the various governmental agencies involved.


Yet this monumental legislation will be voted on by members of Congress without those members having had time to read, let alone study, the bill. It's just after 2:00 p.m. ET on Tuesday, December 7th. The U.S. House is expected to vote on the 9/11 bill sometime today or tomorrow. But at this moment, there isn't a copy of the final bill available for House members to read.


So, is there a provision in the bill to establish a national ID? No one seems to know. Or at least the people who do know aren't saying. What else is in the bill that the select few in Washington are keeping secret? Who knows? Anything could be...and that's the point.


Remember how passage of the Patriot Act was handled? Members had only two to three hours to read the final 400-page bill before they had to cast their vote. The legislation that created the Department of Homeland Security was handled in the same way.


So, here we go again. Everyone is talking about this monumental legislation as if they've read it. News reporters, commentators, political analysts, think tanks; 9/11 families; and yes, members of Congress are busy sounding off as experts trying to convince the American public that Congress should pass it. Have any of these people actually read it? Their opinions are just based upon someone else's opinions that are based upon other people's opinions and so on.


The House version of the intelligence reorganization bill is in two volumes. Volume 1 is 1,778 pages. Volume 2 is 1,586 pages. How many pages are in the final conference report and what exactly has been added or deleted at the last minute? Well, as of 2:00 p.m. ET, the final report is not available for members to read. But the vote on that enormous bill will be held within hours.


We urge a "no" vote because we believe the bill has a national ID provision in it. In addition, we urge a "no" vote, simply because members of Congress should know what the bill says in print before voting on it.

Shot-gunned at close range. Yeah, the hounds are loose and their murderous intent apparent. National security is a death list.

How you been buddy? How's that drinking problem these days? Just checking in ... been a long time since I stopped by LA IMC and wanted to say hello to you and the gang. Seen Bush Admirer around? Fresca? You guys provided me with so much entertainment when I was bored, I really appreciated it. But after I hit that windfall at the keno tables in Vegas I didn't even have time to say goodbye ... anyhoo, I'm between Buenos Aires and La Paz at the moment on the "Eric does the world" tour and just stopping by La IMC to see what's the dig.

Cheerio!

Let's see... had a glass of wine about two hours ago with dinner. No problem at all hombre, although it was a bit too dry, but not bad for Trader Joes [ watch out with some of the batches cause I got one a few years ago where the glass was not properly annealed and one little bump putting it in the closet broke about five bottles. Golly- the bouquet'. What a mess. No wonder it was reasonably priced.]

Now as to you good buddy, my sweetart...
I was worried you were one of those BBQ'ed 'contractors' the resistance had overcooked and hung on a bridge and now I am happy to see it taint true. Have fun, take care.
