Annotated version of President Bush’s inaugural speech, Jan. 20, 2005

Vice President Cheney, Mr. Chief Justice, President Carter, President Bush, President Clinton, reverend clergy, distinguished guests, fellow citizens:

Svengali, Arch-pontifex Rhenquist, that old whatshisname, Poppa, Bubba, servants of Mordor, fellow bloated plutocrats, and all the rest of you driveling flesh-bags out in TV-land:

On this day, prescribed by law and marked by ceremony, we celebrate the durable wisdom of our Constitution, and recall the deep commitments that unite our country. I am grateful for the honor of this hour, mindful of the consequential times in which we live, and determined to fulfill the oath that I have sworn and you have witnessed.

On this day, under military lockdown and marked by wholly unwarranted expenditure, we gather, like swine wallowing in the great trough of the Federal government, to celebrate the fungible trappings of the Constitution, and to recall the deep divisions that we have fostered in order to maintain our power. I have always taken for granted that this office belongs to me by birthright and divine preference, that I am above the law and immune to the consequences of my actions, yet still I remain determined to fulfill my destiny of acquiring truly untrammeled power. Those of you who cower in fear at my mighty aspect may hope that some small table scraps from the feasting table of this great bacchanale may fall their way.

At this second gathering, our duties are defined not by the words I use, but by the history we have seen together. For a half century, America defended our own freedom by standing watch on distant borders. After the shipwreck of communism came years of relative quiet, years of repose, years of sabbatical - and then there came a day of fire.

At this second coronation, relieved of the burden of an inquisitive press or a transparent election, it has become clear that I can say and do whatever I want and no one will stand in my way. For half a century America pursued a policy of internationalism and multilateralism. This helped foster true democracy abroad and a greater economic welfare at home. But for those of us who know only how to govern by instilling panic and division, it also brought about the dangerous capacity for rational thought and increasingly onerous demands for governmental accountability by our subjects. I was therefore greatly relieved when the impression of my lackluster performance was transformed overnight by a ruthless attack on our country, perpetrated by a shadowy group of non-white people.

We have seen our vulnerability - and we have seen its deepest source. For as long as whole regions of the world simmer in resentment and tyranny - prone to ideologies that feed hatred and excuse murder - violence will gather, and multiply in destructive power, and cross the most defended borders, and raise a mortal threat. There is only one force of history that can break the reign of hatred and resentment, and expose the pretensions of tyrants, and reward the hopes of the decent and tolerant, and that is the force of human freedom.

We have therefore made sure that our vulnerabilities remain unaddressed, because we know that constant insecurity is and shall always be our deepest source of political power. So long as whole regions of the world simmer in hatred for us, we have an excuse to bomb them, invade them, undermine them, and damn anyone who questions our actions to hell. And since we come from a country that once considered itself free, we feel free to forcibly convert all to our way of life under the name of “freedom.”

We are led, by events and common sense, to one conclusion: The survival of liberty in our land increasingly depends on the success of liberty in other lands. The best hope for peace in our world is the expansion of freedom in all the world.

We are led, by hasty and misguided understandings of these events, to one conclusion: The best way for us to undermine the tradition of freedom and self-determination in our country, while still appearing to preserve it, is to make sure each and every American feels hated by the rest of the world. The best hope for the expansion of our power in the world is to perpetuate a state of constant, simmering, low-grade warfare.

America's vital interests and our deepest beliefs are now one. From the day of our Founding, we have proclaimed that every man and woman on this earth has rights, and dignity, and matchless value, because they bear the image of the Maker of Heaven and earth. Across the generations we have proclaimed the imperative of self-government, because no one is fit to be a master, and no one deserves to be a slave. Advancing these ideals is the mission that created our Nation. It is the honorable achievement of our fathers. Now it is the urgent requirement of our nation's security, and the calling of our time.

Our vital interests now depend on convincing Americans that they have always believed what we want them to believe. From the days of its founding, this country has made slow, painful yet irreversible steps toward greater social justice and a more perfect democratic system. The time to start reversing these steps is now, but we can only do so if we remain committed to perpetuating the historical fiction that our country is, and has always been, a perfect creation under the watchful eye of an Anglo-Saxon God who looks like we do and thinks like we do. Therefore we pledge to use more loaded Protestant words like “calling,” “crusade,” and “mission.”

So it is the policy of the United States to seek and support the growth of democratic movements and institutions in every nation and culture, with the ultimate goal of ending tyranny in our world.

So it is the policy of the United States to seek and support the growth of wealth and access for like-minded elites across the globe, with the ultimate goal of ending accountability for all who have managed to join the club.

This is not primarily the task of arms, though we will defend ourselves and our friends by force of arms when necessary. Freedom, by its nature, must be chosen, and defended by citizens, and sustained by the rule of law and the protection of minorities. And when the soul of a nation finally speaks, the institutions that arise may reflect customs and traditions very different from our own. America will not impose our own style of government on the unwilling. Our goal instead is to help others find their own voice, attain their own freedom, and make their own way.

But in order to do this, we must pretend that we care about such quaint concepts as the rule of law and the protection of minorities. So we will pay much lip service to the notion that we are not imposing our way of life on other cultures. And truthfully they can wear what they want and worship whomever they please so long as they go on selling us their natural resources at under-market prices and buying our cultural crapitol for more than they can possibly afford.

The great objective of ending tyranny is the concentrated work of generations. The difficulty of the task is no excuse for avoiding it. America's influence is not unlimited, but fortunately for the oppressed, America's influence is considerable, and we will use it confidently in freedom's cause.

So look out, any country that steps out of line is going to be a serious candidate for “liberation.”

My most solemn duty is to protect this nation and its people against further attacks and emerging threats. Some have unwisely chosen to test America's resolve, and have found it firm.

Hehehehe I just used the word “doodie” on national TV.

We will persistently clarify the choice before every ruler and every nation: The moral choice between oppression, which is always wrong, and freedom, which is eternally right. America will not pretend that jailed dissidents prefer their chains, or that women welcome humiliation and servitude, or that any human being aspires to live at the mercy of bullies.

We will persistently clarify the choice to the French: stop pretending you have an independent voice in the world, you cheese eating surrender monkeys, or you’re going to find GIs marching down the Champs de Lysees again. Also, America will strive to perpetuate the hypocrisy of claiming to fight for the full civil rights of some, whom we will label “dissidents,” while preserving our prerogative to torture others, whom we will refer to with various vaguely menacing-sounding names such as “enemy combatant,” “dead-enders” and, my personal favorite, “evil-doers.”

We will encourage reform in other governments by making clear that success in our relations will require the decent treatment of their own people. America's belief in human dignity will guide our policies, yet rights must be more than the grudging concessions of dictators; they are secured by free dissent and the participation of the governed. In the long run, there is no justice without freedom, and there can be no human rights without human liberty.

We will continue to throw sops to the international community, and continue to shun its advice and refuse its offers of assistance in our foolhardy attempts to preserve American military dominance in the world.

Some, I know, have questioned the global appeal of liberty - though this time in history, four decades defined by the swiftest advance of freedom ever seen, is an odd time for doubt. Americans, of all people, should never be surprised by the power of our ideals. Eventually, the call of freedom comes to every mind and every soul. We do not accept the existence of permanent tyranny because we do not accept the possibility of permanent slavery. Liberty will come to those who love it.

As I said before, words such as “liberty” and “freedom” make people feel warm and fuzzy, and encourage them not to speculate upon our true intentions or to reflect on the fruits of our actions. That’s why I love “liberty” so much.

Today, America speaks anew to the peoples of the world: All who live in tyranny and hopelessness can know: the United States will not ignore your oppression, or excuse your oppressors. When you stand for your liberty, we will stand with you.

So to the rest of the world I say: You who have seen what the last four years of America “standing with you” looks like haven’t seen nothing yet.

Democratic reformers facing repression, prison, or exile can know: America sees you for who you are: the future leaders of your free country.

The children of the wealthy elites across the world should know that we will never question your inalienable nepotistic right to power, for after all that is something that we have in common.

The rulers of outlaw regimes can know that we still believe as Abraham Lincoln did: "Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves; and, under the rule of a just God, cannot long retain it."

And those of you currently in power had better tow the line; look what happened to the last guy who thought he could just walk away from the CIA payroll without consequences. Once you’re a made man, you can never just walk away. Oh, and here’s a nice-sounding quote I found on Google.

The leaders of governments with long habits of control need to know: To serve your people you must learn to trust them. Start on this journey of progress and justice, and America will walk at your side. And all the allies of the United States can know: we honor your friendship, we rely on your counsel, and we depend on your help. Division among free nations is a primary goal of freedom's enemies. The concerted effort of free nations to promote democracy is a prelude to our enemies' defeat.

Jeez, how much longer do I have to keep talking like this? At this rate I’ll never make it to bed by 8 o’clock.

Today, I also speak anew to my fellow citizens:

From all of you, I have asked patience in the hard task of securing America, which you have granted in good measure. Our country has accepted obligations that are difficult to fulfill, and would be dishonorable to abandon. Yet because we have acted in the great liberating tradition of this nation, tens of millions have achieved their freedom. And as hope kindles hope, millions more will find it. By our efforts, we have lit a fire as well - a fire in the minds of men. It warms those who feel its power, it burns those who fight its progress, and one day this untamed fire of freedom will reach the darkest corners of our world.

Today I also speak anew to my subjects: I am not interested in what you think or what you have to say. I only want you to keep racking up your personal debts, keep being afraid of each other, and keep breeding because the machinery of war that I have envisioned is going to need a constant supply of young people with strong bodies and unformed minds.

A few Americans have accepted the hardest duties in this cause - in the quiet work of intelligence and diplomacy ... the idealistic work of helping raise up free governments ... the dangerous and necessary work of fighting our enemies. Some have shown their devotion to our country in deaths that honored their whole lives - and we will always honor their names and their sacrifice.

Some I will turn into spies, to learn the secrets of my enemies abroad and dissidents at home. Others I will turn into “journalists” to spread misleading propaganda across every conceivable channel of communication.

All Americans have witnessed this idealism, and some for the first time. I ask our youngest citizens to believe the evidence of your eyes. You have seen duty and allegiance in the determined faces of our soldiers. You have seen that life is fragile, and evil is real, and courage triumphs. Make the choice to serve in a cause larger than your wants, larger than yourself - and in your days you will add not just to the wealth of our country, but to its character.

And please continue to worship the military, especially those of you who are young and impressionable. Continue to emulate its culture of uniformity, obedience and violence. Continue to believe that the best way to solve any problem is to blow it to smithereens, continue to glorify foreign wars, and above all else to ignore the discomfort that the rare – and hopefully rarer still – news stories that present war as the hell it is. Make the choice to serve your country, and you will find how easy it is to surrender your own ethical sensibilities in the warm sea of collective action.

America has need of idealism and courage, because we have essential work at home - the unfinished work of American freedom. In a world moving toward liberty, we are determined to show the meaning and promise of liberty.

See how great these words sound? I could just keep repeating them all day.

In America's ideal of freedom, citizens find the dignity and security of economic independence, instead of laboring on the edge of subsistence. This is the broader definition of liberty that motivated the Homestead Act, the Social Security Act, and the G.I. Bill of Rights. And now we will extend this vision by reforming great institutions to serve the needs of our time. To give every American a stake in the promise and future of our country, we will bring the highest standards to our schools, and build an ownership society. We will widen the ownership of homes and businesses, retirement savings and health insurance - preparing our people for the challenges of life in a free society. By making every citizen an agent of his or her own destiny, we will give our fellow Americans greater freedom from want and fear, and make our society more prosperous and just and equal.

Turning to the domestic front, I want you to know that I will continue to cut federal funding for even my pet programs, but do it in such a way that I can still claim to be supporting them. I will also continue to use the term “ownership society,” which is patently meaningless but does really well in most test markets. I will continue to support those who have wealth and access to acquire more wealth and more access. The rest of you will have the moral satisfaction of having earned your pittances with the sweat of your own brow.

In America's ideal of freedom, the public interest depends on private character - on integrity, and tolerance toward others, and the rule of conscience in our own lives. Self-government relies, in the end, on the governing of the self. That edifice of character is built in families, supported by communities with standards, and sustained in our national life by the truths of Sinai, the Sermon on the Mount, the words of the Koran, and the varied faiths of our people. Americans move forward in every generation by reaffirming all that is good and true that came before - ideals of justice and conduct that are the same yesterday, today, and forever.

Self government relies, in the end, on the governing of the self. Don’t you get it? And religion is a good thing, too, because intolerant people of all faiths can come together to make sure that gay people in a different state are denied their civil rights, which is after all more important than sustaining their own economic self-interests.

In America's ideal of freedom, the exercise of rights is ennobled by service, and mercy, and a heart for the weak. Liberty for all does not mean independence from one another. Our nation relies on men and women who look after a neighbor and surround the lost with love. Americans, at our best, value the life we see in one another, and must always remember that even the unwanted have worth. And our country must abandon all the habits of racism, because we cannot carry the message of freedom and the baggage of bigotry at the same time.

Also I’m going to make sure Roe vs. Wade gets overturned, and bring back a flourishing black market for back-alley abortions. But I’m going to do this in the name of “compassion.”

From the perspective of a single day, including this day of dedication, the issues and questions before our country are many. From the viewpoint of centuries, the questions that come to us are narrowed and few. Did our generation advance the cause of freedom? And did our character bring credit to that cause?

Huh?

These questions that judge us also unite us, because Americans of every party and background, Americans by choice and by birth, are bound to one another in the cause of freedom. We have known divisions, which must be healed to move forward in great purposes - and I will strive in good faith to heal them. Yet those divisions do not define America. We felt the unity and fellowship of our nation when freedom came under attack, and our response came like a single hand over a single heart. And we can feel that same unity and pride whenever America acts for good, and the victims of disaster are given hope, and the unjust encounter justice, and the captives are set free.

To those who hate me for who I am and for what I am doing to your country, I have only this to say: 9-11, 9-11, 9-11, 9-11, 9-11, 9-11, 9-11, 9-11, 9-11, 9-11, 9-11, 9-11, 9-11, 9-11.

We go forward with complete confidence in the eventual triumph of freedom. Not because history runs on the wheels of inevitability; it is human choices that move events. Not because we consider ourselves a chosen nation; God moves and chooses as He wills. We have confidence because freedom is the permanent hope of mankind, the hunger in dark places, the longing of the soul. When our Founders declared a new order of the ages; when soldiers died in wave upon wave for a union based on liberty; when citizens marched in peaceful outrage under the banner "Freedom Now" - they were acting on an ancient hope that is meant to be fulfilled. History has an ebb and flow of justice, but history also has a visible direction, set by liberty and the Author of Liberty.

I took a history class once, I think. Don’t think I ever showed up sober, though. But I realize now that the good thing about knowing history is that you can always cherry pick it for a couple of inspiring moments, present them completely out of context, and claim that it provides proof of your philosophy.

When the Declaration of Independence was first read in public and the Liberty Bell was sounded in celebration, a witness said, "It rang as if it meant something." In our time it means something still. America, in this young century, proclaims liberty throughout all the world, and to all the inhabitants thereof. Renewed in our strength - tested, but not weary - we are ready for the greatest achievements in the history of freedom.

When the Declaration of Independence was first read in public and the Liberty Bell was sounded in celebration, a witness said, “It rang as if it meant something.” And it did, it meant an unprecedented rejection of the notion of monarchy, the idea that some people are destined by birth and divine right to rule over the rest. Now is the time, and I am the man, to finally put to rest all of that silliness, and to reassert the plain fact that the rich and powerful are that way because they deserve it, and the rest of you can go pound sand, eat cake, or whatever it is you do in your squalid little lives that I have thankfully been so protected from seeing my entire life.

May God bless you, and may He watch over the United States of America.

May Glod bless you, freedom is on the march, you forgot Poland, and 9-11, 9-11, 9-11, 9-11, 9-11, 9-11, 9-11, 9-11, 9-11, 9-11, 9-11, 9-11, 9-11, 9-11.

1. BRAVO! Without the annotations, it's pure bullshit. Thanks a LOT!

[atommom]

2. The annotations did make reading it a lot more palatable.

If you hadn't done that for us, I probably would have kept "forgetting" to read the text of the speech for days. ;)

[Randers]

3. your version is very apt

I wish everyone knew what bushshit that is (I thought I was typing bullshit - I really did! :) ).

Esp. this:
We will persistently clarify the choice before every ruler and every nation: The moral choice between oppression, which is always wrong, and freedom, which is eternally right.

Like what we're doing in Venezuela... :crazy:

[Liberty Belle]

4. Media blast this to all the lamebrains at the MLM!

Please, everyone, let's do it. Maybe a few will get clued in as to just what the idiot-in-chief has planned for the next four years.

This is also one of those great, funny pieces that could be circulated to your ENTIRE e-mail address book, not just progressive friends. One more chance to wake up the masses from the coma most of them are in.

Freedom to Read, thanks for the great job exposing the emperor with no clothes!

Great annotation if you don't mind i tried to come up with another interpretation of *s speech.

Annotation European Version


Vice President Cheney, Mr. Chief Justice, President Carter, President Bush, President Clinton, reverend clergy, distinguished guests, fellow citizens:

Sulman Al’Venish, Portifex Maximus Renquist Xeraan, master of disguise S&B, Poppa Holle, my preaccountibiliator, Centurios of the Wannabepretorians, Board Members of Amerikkka Global Empires Inc., and my dispensable and replaceable cannonfodder bee- and ant subjects who still think I’d drink a beer with them, that’s jennas and barbs job.

On this day, prescribed by law and marked by ceremony, we celebrate the durable wisdom of our Constitution, and recall the deep commitments that unite our country. I am grateful for the honor of this hour, mindful of the consequential times in which we live, and determined to fulfill the oath that I have sworn and you have witnessed.

On this day we party the fact that we have successfully replaced regular voting by foolproof selections again. I’m glad this formality is finally over so I can think about who’s the next of the countries we bully into oblivion. That’s what I want and there’s no way you can stop me.

At this second gathering, our duties are defined not by the words I use, but by the history we have seen together. For a half century, America defended our own freedom by standing watch on distant borders. After the shipwreck of communism came years of relative quiet, years of repose, years of sabbatical - and then there came a day of fire.

At this second halftime we won’t start we won’t rectify what we messed up before the breaktime, we will go straight ahead but we’ll take out the big ‘uns this time. Half a century we have fought proxy wars, funded death squads and assassinated unpleasant high and lowprofiles were it damned pleased us. When Ivan was finally gone we got ourself a break at the courtesy of Billy Boy. 9/11 was the wake up signal for the lazy drones who still didn’t get it. Time to rumble again and dust off the old toys.

We have seen our vulnerability - and we have seen its deepest source. For as long as whole regions of the world simmer in resentment and tyranny - prone to ideologies that feed hatred and excuse murder - violence will gather, and multiply in destructive power, and cross the most defended borders, and raise a mortal threat. There is only one force of history that can break the reign of hatred and resentment, and expose the pretensions of tyrants, and reward the hopes of the decent and tolerant, and that is the force of human freedom.

You have seen what happened at 9/11 and we’ll remind you all time of it and if you don’t get in line we’ll repeat or outdo it. But for the sake of purpose it’s ok if you hate those arab ragheads east of israel which still hold my oil hostage. Of course they will try to prevent an attack and perhaps even find a way of harming us that nukes and guns can’t deter, like shifting the oil price denomination to Euros. The unhappy students there will revolt if we fund them and when they hear our bombs and see our fleet they will forget about the slain and maimed friends and family, the Abu Graib and Falluja pictures and that we are satans most efficient missionars and raise hell and let us install our faithful lackey which will sell the oil for dollars and keep the plebiscite under control…sort of.

We are led, by events and common sense, to one conclusion: The survival of liberty in our land increasingly depends on the success of liberty in other lands. The best hope for peace in our world is the expansion of freedom in all the world.

To preserve american hegemony we must control the wells. Since much of the the world has buried old quarrels and grown some balls aligning against us in ways we didn’t anticipate we must step up the bully level and fuck anyone who opposes us. Of course this will require the draft more of it later I’ll be back at ya once the echo chambers and 9/11 Mk2 has whipped you into frenzy.


America's vital interests and our deepest beliefs are now one. From the day of our Founding, we have proclaimed that every man and woman on this earth has rights, and dignity, and matchless value, because they bear the image of the Maker of Heaven and earth. Across the generations we have proclaimed the imperative of self-government, because no one is fit to be a master, and no one deserves to be a slave. Advancing these ideals is the mission that created our Nation. It is the honorable achievement of our fathers. Now it is the urgent requirement of our nation's security, and the calling of our time.

My will is your command. From the day one of the founding days you were allowed to pretend it was about a free society while it was just about not paying taxes to London. Since you didn’t mind slaughtered natives, enslaved blacks and disenfranchised women while fantasizing about fictious rubberterm freedom and exploiting whole continents for our juggernaut hunger I’m positive I can tell you anything I want and you will make up what you heard and understood. Now that it is so easy to keep you controlled one way or another we can take a look on expansion – there’s a whole world to conquer (he he) Isn’t that great?
Good do..err..subj…err citizen.

So it is the policy of the United States to seek and support the growth of democratic movements and institutions in every nation and culture, with the ultimate goal of ending tyranny in our world.

So I have to decided to fund opposition in any country that opposes the Imperial Plutocratic Harvest Department named Halliburton, Carlyle etc. and bomb the shit off these where it doesn’t work. While I’d very much like to have direct control over all Irak has shown that you stupid losers are to incapable to keep some dirty ragheads in line. Thus I’ll just have my cronies installed one way or another. As long IPHD has access to the plentiful stuff it’s the same for me - almost.

This is not primarily the task of arms, though we will defend ourselves and our friends by force of arms when necessary. Freedom, by its nature, must be chosen, and defended by citizens, and sustained by the rule of law and the protection of minorities. And when the soul of a nation finally speaks, the institutions that arise may reflect customs and traditions very different from our own. America will not impose our own style of government on the unwilling. Our goal instead is to help others find their own voice, attain their own freedom, and make their own way.

While I’d very much like to have direct control over all Irak has shown that you stupid losers are to incapable to keep some dirty ragheads in line. Thus I’ll just have my cronies installed one way or another. As long IPHD has access to the plentiful stuff it’s the same for me - almost. Well support the aristocratic elite minority which mostly will whore themselves if they get enough benefits, even if I’ll have to tax you for this. Of course these slave whippers will have their own way to keep their populace under control. I’m looking forward for new ideas to do this.

The great objective of ending tyranny is the concentrated work of generations. The difficulty of the task is no excuse for avoiding it. America's influence is not unlimited, but fortunately for the oppressed, America's influence is considerable, and we will use it confidently in freedom's cause.

Creating an Empire is big work and conquering the world and though everyone says it’s futile I’d say we try anyway. My army isn’t infinite but still a force to be reckoned with so I can still conquer small countries as I damn please and pick an aircraft carrier and pretend to be a warrior at the top instead of a coward in a bunker thereafter.

My most solemn duty is to protect this nation and its people against further attacks and emerging threats. Some have unwisely chosen to test America's resolve, and have found it firm.

I’ll make sure you can have your MacDonalds, your TIVO Basket-, Base- and Football while I will have a good time win my bet against the greek billionaires. My minions will crush anyone who opposes me, see Saddam.

We will persistently clarify the choice before every ruler and every nation: The moral choice between oppression, which is always wrong, and freedom, which is eternally right. America will not pretend that jailed dissidents prefer their chains, or that women welcome humiliation and servitude, or that any human being aspires to live at the mercy of bullies.

I will give my objects of desire the choice to follow my or by dragged along by its hairs. I’m am right you are wrong. America will not pretend that jailed dissidents prefer their chains, or that women welcome humiliation and servitude, or that any human being aspires to live at the mercy of bullies, so we will just drop the pretense and further that by locking up commi-pinko-libruls, sending the women back to the kitchen under proprietary control of her husband and threaten anyone who doesn’t fit into the picture of my disciples..

We will encourage reform in other governments by making clear that success in our relations will require the decent treatment of their own people. America's belief in human dignity will guide our policies, yet rights must be more than the grudging concessions of dictators; they are secured by free dissent and the participation of the governed. In the long run, there is no justice without freedom, and there can be no human rights without human liberty.

I will ensure that the cash flow of my coffers and the flow from my coffer to my cronies ‘ coffers is directly proportional to the benefits they get to my Harvesters in Chief Carlyle, Halliburton etc. I will do this with all means necessary and I want LOYAL lackeys! Just half assed efforts are no longer acceptable. I’ll make sure they’ve enough blood on their hands that there is no turning back. And we require a claqueur opposition party that we can showplay the serfs. Something like our democratic party.

Some, I know, have questioned the global appeal of liberty - though this time in history, four decades defined by the swiftest advance of freedom ever seen, is an odd time for doubt. Americans, of all people, should never be surprised by the power of our ideals. Eventually, the call of freedom comes to every mind and every soul. We do not accept the existence of permanent tyranny because we do not accept the possibility of permanent slavery. Liberty will come to those who love it.

Some, I know have questioned the global appeal of American hegemony – though this time of history four decades defined by the swiftest advance of american supremacy ever seen is an odd time of doubt. Americans and Lackeys in spe should never be surprised of the power of our arsenal, you want it – we have it. Eventually american rule will reach everyone. Resistance is futile we will control even your minds with that fancy new lie detector. We do not accept permanent absence of American ruleand corporate dominion- it will come wheter you want it or not.

Today, America speaks anew to the peoples of the world: All who live in tyranny and hopelessness can know: the United States will not ignore your oppression, or excuse your oppressors. When you stand for your liberty, we will stand with you.

Today America speaks anew to the ungrateful twits that refuse corporate- american rule. All who refuse American-Corporate rule, we will not ignore your opposition or let you oppose us. When you surrender we will let you live (as our low-wage-slaves.).

Democratic reformers facing repression, prison, or exile can know: America sees you for who you are: the future leaders of your free country.

Criminal bankers, abusive police commanders, unscrupulous politicians, wingnuts, wackos and fanatics , we will place you in power instead of the current democratcly elected government when you pledge administrate the subjugatet populace for us.

The rulers of outlaw regimes can know that we still believe as Abraham Lincoln did: "Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves; and, under the rule of a just God, cannot long retain it."

The rulers of ismalic raghead countries can know we still believe in american hegemony and those who deny american rule won’t repel it for long. And we will bring you christianity with the sword.

The leaders of governments with long habits of control need to know: To serve your people you must learn to trust them. Start on this journey of progress and justice, and America will walk at your side. And all the allies of the United States can know: we honor your friendship, we rely on your counsel, and we depend on your help. Division among free nations is a primary goal of freedom's enemies. The concerted effort of free nations to promote democracy is a prelude to our enemies' defeat.

The people of the old democratic countries need to understand that you have to serve the american dream, the amerikkkan theo-corporate crusade. Trust us or you will be overrun by them breeding musleems. We want your troops in our lines or else we all lose, we’ll make sure of that. So you better step back in line.

Today, I also speak anew to my fellow citizens:

From all of you, I have asked patience in the hard task of securing America, which you have granted in good measure. Our country has accepted obligations that are difficult to fulfill, and would be dishonorable to abandon. Yet because we have acted in the great liberating tradition of this nation, tens of millions have achieved their freedom. And as hope kindles hope, millions more will find it. By our efforts, we have lit a fire as well - a fire in the minds of men. It warms those who feel its power, it burns those who fight its progress, and one day this untamed fire of freedom will reach the darkest corners of our world.

Hi serfs

thanks for the easy ride again. I knew you wouldn’t let me down. We have started our crusade and we cannot back down else the world would think we’re pansies. Because of the tradion of our country millions have allready received the burden of the american empire so you can rewatch your tivo, buy bigmacs and play americasarmy on your windows comp. The fire of hatred are lit. it consumes all but until then it keeps the adrenaline high until total exhausion and collapse. It will reach every corner of the world as will the american hegemony.

A few Americans have accepted the hardest duties in this cause - in the quiet work of intelligence and diplomacy ... the idealistic work of helping raise up free governments ... the dangerous and necessary work of fighting our enemies. Some have shown their devotion to our country in deaths that honored their whole lives - and we will always honor their names and their sacrifice.

Some will serve as spies and assassins while others will try to persuade other dissident groups to support our local crony. Some have died but we’ll let you have some names and tell heartbreaking made up stories so you can revel in their fake glory and feel more like signing up to take their place. The monuments can easily be made by our corporate prison slaves.

All Americans have witnessed this idealism, and some for the first time. I ask our youngest citizens to believe the evidence of your eyes. You have seen duty and allegiance in the determined faces of our soldiers. You have seen that life is fragile, and evil is real, and courage triumphs. Make the choice to serve in a cause larger than your wants, larger than yourself - and in your days you will add not just to the wealth of our country, but to its character.

All americans have witnessed the might of our tech and our army in the conquest of saddams armies. We have the Armie but we need the soldiers, join the mobile inf…err the american army. You can rape the female soldiers and we give a rats ass. The individual is nothing and the collective is all (as long as it serves me and my kkkorporate club). We will enter the annals as the burners of the globe, but hey we’ll be in the annals with a record!

America has need of idealism and courage, because we have essential work at home - the unfinished work of American freedom. In a world moving toward liberty, we are determined to show the meaning and promise of liberty.

I want complete lockstep loyalty from all, we have much to do and dissent just slows things down. Can’t have that disobedient behaviour while I convince my remote cronies to install adequate control structures. So I’ll have to clean the house before we march. You better straighten up quick you pinko commies!

In America's ideal of freedom, citizens find the dignity and security of economic independence, instead of laboring on the edge of subsistence. This is the broader definition of liberty that motivated the Homestead Act, the Social Security Act, and the G.I. Bill of Rights. And now we will extend this vision by reforming great institutions to serve the needs of our time. To give every American a stake in the promise and future of our country, we will bring the highest standards to our schools, and build an ownership society. We will widen the ownership of homes and businesses, retirement savings and health insurance - preparing our people for the challenges of life in a free society. By making every citizen an agent of his or her own destiny, we will give our fellow Americans greater freedom from want and fear, and make our society more prosperous and just and equal.

Americas ideal of corporate rule will need that we scrap all those old muddled stuff like bill of rights Homestead act, Social security, etc. We will continue to wreck the safety nets till corporations can buy up the other rest of your puny lifes, well those of the usable drones. The rest – though luck you starve or freeze under the bridge we need to weed out the non-productive ballast.


In America's ideal of freedom, the public interest depends on private character - on integrity, and tolerance toward others, and the rule of conscience in our own lives. Self-government relies, in the end, on the governing of the self. That edifice of character is built in families, supported by communities with standards, and sustained in our national life by the truths of Sinai, the Sermon on the Mount, the words of the Koran, and the varied faiths of our people. Americans move forward in every generation by reaffirming all that is good and true that came before - ideals of justice and conduct that are the same yesterday, today, and forever.

Christian Faith will rule.Basta. Jews might be tolerated. Wiccans Musleems and the rest will burn at the stakes after we make up enough pretext to do so. Or better we put them in camps so they can make the monumenst of our statues. Or function as organ spare part storage. Anyway we must ensure that christian faith dominates america and the earth now and forever.

In America's ideal of freedom, the exercise of rights is ennobled by service, and mercy, and a heart for the weak. Liberty for all does not mean independence from one another. Our nation relies on men and women who look after a neighbor and surround the lost with love. Americans, at our best, value the life we see in one another, and must always remember that even the unwanted have worth. And our country must abandon all the habits of racism, because we cannot carry the message of freedom and the baggage of bigotry at the same time.

In americas ideal of corporate rule, the exercise of rights is ennobled by birth, wealh and costefficiency without any mercy for the weak disabled whatsoever. Liberty doesn’t mean freedom from corporate enslavement. Our nation will rely on corporate masters to feed and house the slaves and pay therapist to re-educate and re drug the serfs hit by the loss of a close one. Adequate medication is allready in the pipeline. The life of the have-not rabble has no worth so we have to ensure that there is plenty of it to fill the assembly lines and the armies, the kitchen and the gardens of the oligarchs of today. We don’t distinguish by color all of you are worthless unless your bank accounts tells otherwise. We can’t go crusading the world having such wasteful programs as social security etc.

From the perspective of a single day, including this day of dedication, the issues and questions before our country are many. From the viewpoint of centuries, the questions that come to us are narrowed and few. Did our generation advance the cause of freedom? And did our character bring credit to that cause?

Forget about the past, the liberties, the wealth all that counts is:”did our generation furthen the frontier of america and did that funnel big money to the corporate coffers?”

These questions that judge us also unite us, because Americans of every party and background, Americans by choice and by birth, are bound to one another in the cause of freedom. We have known divisions, which must be healed to move forward in great purposes - and I will strive in good faith to heal them. Yet those divisions do not define America. We felt the unity and fellowship of our nation when freedom came under attack, and our response came like a single hand over a single heart. And we can feel that same unity and pride whenever America acts for good, and the victims of disaster are given hope, and the unjust encounter justice, and the captives are set free.

The goals that unites us also separates us, while I and my corporate fat cat friends will plan in our bunkers you rabble are only worth something by the dozen no matter what color you are. It doesn’t matter if you are born here or afar you are to be exploited in labor and conflict. While we will make sure that one party hates each other even more we will eventually cut off the rotten flesh and thus be more united by the lack of dissent. But first we will try to pull the 9/11 trick again. Reichstag, Pearl Harbor, Golf of Tonkin , 9/11 it’s a working evergreen. People who lose their family will get a new one in the military and the convicts in the prisons will get a chance in the army to make free some place for the dissidents. They will have a good time with the morale raising division the ho-vison. That will also teach those uppity woman to stay at their hearth.

We go forward with complete confidence in the eventual triumph of freedom. Not because history runs on the wheels of inevitability; it is human choices that move events. Not because we consider ourselves a chosen nation; God moves and chooses as He wills. We have confidence because freedom is the permanent hope of mankind, the hunger in dark places, the longing of the soul. When our Founders declared a new order of the ages; when soldiers died in wave upon wave for a union based on liberty; when citizens marched in peaceful outrage under the banner "Freedom Now" - they were acting on an ancient hope that is meant to be fulfilled. History has an ebb and flow of justice, but history also has a visible direction, set by liberty and the Author of Liberty.

I’m positive I will get through with that. It’s human non-choice that let’s thing move and we’re the chosen nation. Our way hasn’t to be forever but it will make sure the rest of the lifetime of me and my friends will be in luxury and power. When soldiers die wave by wave and the subhuman rabble will rise in the future hope for freedom of us we’ll be somewhere hard to find. But as long the wave lasts we’ll be surfing.

When the Declaration of Independence was first read in public and the Liberty Bell was sounded in celebration, a witness said, "It rang as if it meant something." In our time it means something still. America, in this young century, proclaims liberty throughout all the world, and to all the inhabitants thereof. Renewed in our strength - tested, but not weary - we are ready for the greatest achievements in the history of freedom.

When the declaration was read and the liberty bell was sounded people dreamed of freedom and rights and stuff. As we silenced the voices of the natives we kept you from awaking and grasping the reality. By elevating the founding fathers to saints and glorifying the ruling class of old times we keep the pretense of popular governing while subverting it with corporations. It’s actually an easy job here, easier than in old europe who knows some of the old tricks and russia and china who pull those tricks themselves. But the dumbing down and mindcaging will work there as well just at a slower pace. History is written by the victors. So better make sure you are on the winning side so you will be the heroes of tomorrow. Especially useful subjects might get a mention in our empires annals. What more can you expect?

May God bless you, and may He watch over the United States of America.

Be afraid, be paranoid and remember the government and your employer are your friends.
