The Steel Magnolia

Over the past week or so, I admit that I was becoming very hopeful that America was starting to wake up; that there was a possibility to the end of the darkness that has overtaken us with the coming of Bush and his evil side-kicks; that tomorrow is, after all, another day (as Scarlett O’Hara said).

But I think I was just being taken in by the drama. Awhile ago I had a look at what Laura Knight-Jadczyk was saying and, as much as I hate to admit it, I think she is right. Laura writes:

There’s been a buzz on the net for the past few days that maybe, finally, Bush is going to get his comeuppance. Cunningham has been sentenced to hard time, Katharine Harris, the “President Maker”, is tainted by a related bribery scandal, Bush has been shown to be a liar (yet again) in public via the Katrina video conference expose, and most of all, the “uproar” over the Dubai Buy.

Don’t kid yourselves: they’re blowing smoke and snowing you.

Remember, these are desperate men who undoubtedly, as more and more people believe, were complicit in the faked Terrorist attack on 9/11. Do you really think that such criminals as that are going to go down for ignoring hurricane warnings or trying to sell off chunks of America?

Get real. These men are - literally - the new Fourth Reich and if you want to know what is really going on, what is really likely to happen, then study the history of Hitler’s Germany.

Bush has got control of the judiciary, finally, thanks to Congress laying down for Alito. What do you think all that warrantless, illegal spying was all about? You don’t really think Bush was using those powers to spy on ordinary citizens do you? He’s already got all he needs to keep track of them. See this article to get a clue on exactly how closely average citizens are being watched without illegal wiretapping. No indeed, that warrantless surveillance was for an altogether different reason: it was to get the goods on all the members of Congress with secrets (all of them, no doubt), so as to make sure the legislation he wanted is passed, and to make sure that the judge he wanted was confirmed.

What about Meiers, you ask?

You don’t really think Bush wanted her, do you?

It was blowing smoke, giving the impression that there is “give and take,” a real “democracy” in the U.S. Of course he didn’t really want her. If he had wanted her, you can bet she would be sitting on the court today. Georgie didn’t spend that year or more doing all that warrantless surveillance on Congress for nothing.

Now he has another snow job going on to further bamboozle the slow-thinkers who keep hoping against hope that something good is accidentally going to happen, Bush will get exposed and somebody will do something. Now Bush is going after any journalist or whistle-blower who dares to expose his illegal activities.

Do you really think the New York Times and the whole Judith Miller nonsense was about protecting sources or journalistic freedom and integrity? After all, Judy was protecting members of the Criminal Bush Gang. The New York Times was promoting Bush’s war. No, it was all cooked up to play out exactly as it did to give the masses the impression that there is still some real democracy in the U.S.

Now the Times is pretending to be a righteous, insulted lady for the next act.

Lemme tell ya, that’s no lady!

Think about it. The New York Times is STILL printing only those things that promote the Neocon agenda and burying those things that do not. If the New York Times had really “awakened” to a sense of obligation to democracy and people’s rights, it would be blazoning in giant headlines every day: Experts Call for Release of 9/11 Evidence
. It would be sending out its army of investigative reporters to dig up the REAL dirt on Bush and the Neocons. But that isn’t what it is doing. It’s making a mealy mouthed plea for information that doesn’t amount to a hill of beans. Hell’s bells! If illegal wiretapping was the worst thing Bush had done, he would be a saint.

Nope. The Times is now playing the part of Harriet Meiers in Newsprint Drag. “Oh, you nasty Bushies! Warrantless wiretapping! How dare you…! We are gonna sue you!”

All the Times is doing is setting itself up as a Straw Man so that Bush and the Neocons can knock it flat. And when it goes down, so goes ALL the Press in the U.S. In fact, it may even set a precedent for Internet News censorship to an all-new level of suppression.

Fact is: No attempt to investigate or impeach Bush will go anywhere because it will be declared “aid to the enemy in a time of war”, backed up by the Supreme Court, and the Neocons will get away with everything.

But still, people are excitedly chuckling and suggesting that many of the Bush supporters are falling away, distancing themselves from the Administration and its cooties because election time is coming.

Don’t be fooled. There is no possibility of a fair election anywhere in this country. Bush lost two elections in a row, but that didn’t stop him from making himself president. The exit polls told the truth, but it doesn’t matter who votes for who, what matters is who is counting the votes.

It’s all an act, a shadow show to give the antsy populace a little hope to cling to while the rest of the trap is prepared: Prison Camps for dissidents brought to you by Halliburton.

So, what IS likely to happen out of all this apparent dog-eat-dog Congress vs Bush Media Games Madness?

Again I say: study the history of Hitler’s Germany.

What is likely to happen if the pressure builds too high is something like Hitler’s Night of the Long Knives.

It saddens me, but there it is. Once you have it pointed out to you, it’s as plain as the nose on your face.

Nothing is going to get rid of George W. Bush short of an act of God.
