His handle is Pissed Off American and his words are spot on IMO. from a poster on another blog published by a U.S. Representative: "In my trade, (high end cabinetry and finish carpentry), I am in the homes of an extremely diverse mix of people, most upper middle class to extremely wealthy. On the blogs one tends to think that the average American is privy to, and interested in, the same level of information that we discuss daily on sites such as this. I assure you, that is NOT the case. It is a RARE household that is informed politically, or up on current events. Those that ARE making an effort to pay attention are doing so by viewing main stream media sources, unaware of how misleading and uninformative those sources are. It is the rare homeowner that has heard of, or cares, about the PNAC. It is a rare household that has heard of, or cares, about the Downing Street Memo. Mention William Rodriguez, and you will NEVER get a knowing look. Mention Sibel Edmonds, and you will strike out 98% of the time. Mention Sistani, Sadr, Allawi, and your odds of getting an informed response are not much better. But if you mention the boogie men, such as Zarqawi, or that nasty mean Chavez character, you'll get a rise.
I keep seeing here, (and on many other blogs), these expressions of hope, with each unfolding scandal, revelation, or breaking news story, that these criminals on the Bush Administration AT LAST, finally, have been exposed, and will be held accountable for their crimes and malfeasance. Well, it NEVER happens. And it won't anytime soon. See, as citizens, we are simply too disengaged, self centered, and engrossed in our own bubbles of existence to pay attention to a process that we have long since disengaged ourselves from. And that disengagement has been NURTURED by a media value system that has been DESIGNED to warp our perceptions of a process that has long since ceased to be what we were taught it was.
Look, heres the deal. These sons of bitches murdered over two thousand Americans on 9/11 to launch a foreign policy, an agenda, that has NOTHING TO DO WITH the best interests of the American people, has NOTHING TO DO WITH the security of the United States. Has NOTHING TO DO WITH human rights, the spread of democracy, the welfare of the Iraqi people, or any altruistic or humanitarian designs. This is about GLOBAL POWER, sought by megalomaniacs and fanatics that believe they have a grand design for the planet earth. These unfolding events as we now see them are minor ripples in comparison to what we are about to experience. As the transgressions and crimes grow in scale, so too must the distractions and deflections. I suspect that soon, as the global machinations and manipulations become unimaginable in their horrors, it will be necessary to place us in an existence that mandates a personal struggle for mere survival, in which we are unable to engage ourselves beyond the pursuit of our daily needs. With the populace in such a state, the pursuit of a global "adjustment" can be administered to without the troubling oversight of moral judgements, international law, or humanitarian consensus.
In short, we are in deep shit here, and "minor" revelations such as the article you cite are NOTHING compared to the criminal travesties these bastards have ALREADY suffered on our nation, and pale in comparison to what is about to come.
