You Get what They Paid For

The republic is sick. It has devolved into empire, and now theocracy, just like Rome did.

We expected Ohio to go wrong since the CEO of Diebold, inc. said he'd hand the Ohio vote to Bush.

We expected things like the computer-bug in Florida electronic voting machines yesterday, that made it necessary for some voters to select Kerry repeatedly to override an apparently erroneous resulting Bush vote (then walk away without a reciept). We suspect that many Bush votes likely resulted from that alone, thus in part explaining huge differences in official election results,from the exit polls.

We sensed a faint odor when such progressives as Ralph Nader, Howard Dean, Dennis Kucinich and Al Sharpton were effectively neutralized and silenced.

So now, You get the manufactured consent that the moneyed interests paid for.

My God, help us.

In the future, My God willing, there will be a standardized, voter-reconcilable elections system.

In the future, My God willing, there will be a de-corporatization of all political parties through the complete prohibition of private campaign finance.

In the future, My God willing, our Press will be returned to the service of the public good, as determined by an effective FCC, monitored and controlled by a legislative branch once again truly representative of the people of the United States.

In the future, My God willing, there will be myriads of investigative journalists like Greg Palast, Michael Moore, Seymour Hersh and Amy Goodman, to shine the light of truth and scatter or destroy the vermin of corruption and injustice.

In the future, My God willing, no longer will lying, cheating and stealing be the accepted means for securing power and influence over others; and that benevolence will prevail.

We respectfully ask our President and Commander in Chief, our senators and representatives, and our judges, to honor their oaths of office and thus preserve justice, liberty, and the Constitution of the United States.
