A Party of Lies and Deception

[HysteryDiagnosis]

So our goal is to free people. To "democratize" them. To give them a voice. Well Mr. pResident, your party, has in fact, done just the opposite for decades. This makes anyone who was involved with their schemes a party to lies and deception.

>>The Hand-Over That Wasn't

Illegal orders give the U.S. a lock on Iraq's economy.

By Antonia Juhasz<<

Promoting democracy, it's just hypocrisy, no vote for you and me, you call this free...

You don't see, it cannot be, forced by bombs, read your psalms...

Election fraud, ask you gawd, if this is your democracy, or just votes for free...

Homeless vet, immeasureable debt, and you haven't yet, begun to fret,

Napalm, cluster bomb, DU, see through the reason, amounts to treason, upon the earth, what's it worth...

All for naught, ambitions fraught, national memories, amount to tragedies,

Vietnam, Iran, Panama, Chile, Guatemala, Indonesia, you think we have collective amnesia...

Put up, shut up, show your cards, Yeah it's hard, waste not, want not, empire dreams in the pot...

Cook 'em down, see them frown, once proud people, turned to sheeple, brainwashed under the steeple,

Promote your dreams using warfare, rape their economy, dreams into nightmare,

Call off your dogs, remove the logs, from thine own eye, and then ask why...

Why they hate us... we are free...the lame excuse.. given you and me..

We aren't naive, to blindly believe, give me pause, without a cause... that they die for a lie...

National flaws, corporate jaws, illicit legislation, democratic degradation, inciting patriotic conflagration, with every nation.....

Former allies, don't buy lies, they realize, what neocon madness belies...

To err is human, constantly so, to and fro, is unpresedential, wisdom is essential...

It can't be bought or borrowed, Karl can't give it, Bremer can't buy it.... Rummy ain't got it....

Crying Wolfowitz, torture memo, congressional hearing, constantly searing, into my brain, who's driving this train,

Partisan extremists, no limitations, putting stress upon our nation...

Put on a show, for the world to see, that democracy isn't free, It's dearly costing you and me...

How many dream of the judges gavel when this Nixonian adventure starts to unravel,

Rats leave the ship, their own survival, fundamentalist revival, wrath of the people, national hypocrisy, who rules a democracy...

Not a boy king, with the golden ring, not a secretary of defense who is so dense, not a congress complicit in warcrimes, many of whom should be doing time,

But "We the people", hold them accountable, evidence insurmountable, inaction to protect, failure to provide, legislation to discriminate, secret desire to eliminate....

Those who disagree, you and me, on the list, get the gist...

Once proud, now cowed, hangs head, democracy dead...

She stands at the harbor, silent reminder, why we came, what's her name...

Oh yes I guess... names change... liberty to tyranny... but not for me, not for you... not in a place as powerful as DU.

2. Freedom means economic freedom, not personal freedom.

Freedom from taxes, tariffs, consumer/worker protections, environmental regulations, etc. - absolute unfettered free-market capitalism - primarily for BUSINESSES/CORPORATIONS.

Corporations Are People, Too

Thomas Paine said it best.

>>"It has been thought," he wrote in The Rights of Man in 1791, "...that government is a compact between those who govern and those who are governed; but this cannot be true, because it is putting the effect before the cause; for as man must have existed before governments existed, there necessarily was a time when governments did not exist, and consequently there could originally exist no governors to form such a compact with. The fact therefore must be, that the individuals themselves, each in his own personal and sovereign right, entered into a compact with each other to produce a government: And this is the only mode in which governments have a right to arise, and the only principle on which they have a right to exist."

hus, Paine and others of the Revolutionary Era reasoned, any institution made up by and of humans -- from governments to churches to corporations -- must be subordinate to individual living people in terms of the rights and powers held by the institution.

Because of the unique frailties and depths of passion unique to humans, just after the U.S. Constitution was ratified Thomas Jefferson and James Madison began a campaign to amend it with a 12-point explicit statement that would clearly and unambiguously place humans -- who had created government -- above their creation. This was the birth of what would become the Bill of Rights, and it originally had 12 -- not 10 -- protections for citizens� rights.<<
