Even a decorated and patriotic Marine says it!
True American Patriot
by Ken O'Keefe
It is inevitable that simple minds will accuse me of anti-Americanism and to this I have a few words.
First of all: I have studied, defended and fought for the "inalienable rights" within the U.S. Constitution more than 99.9% of so-called "patriots" who would call me "anti-American," "hateful," a "traitor," etc.
Second: I have "served" as a United States Marine (yes I was an idiot) and "honorably" earned a "Unit Combat Action Award" (2cd Battalion Fourth Marines - Camp Lejeune 1989-1992) for "service" in the original Gulf Slaughter in 1991 which combined with the first fact assuredly means that by my American flag wavers own definition I am a full fledged American Patriot.
Third: The un-elected de facto U.S. President (dictator) was a first class deserter during the Vietnam War. Those who might fall under this "Commander and Chief's" chain of command might want to ask themselves what would happen to them if right now during this so-called "War on Terror" they just stopped showing up for duty; for a year or more?
58,000 American's serverd and died in Vietnam; Bush took a holiday. Think about it.
The fact is that Bush is a hypocritical coward who is happily sending America's sons and daughters to kill (murder) or be killed for unlawful wars of greed and power that he himself would never have the balls to participate in.
Fourth: The so-called "Patriot Act" & "Homeland Security Act" & soon "Patriot Act II" are traitorous mortal blows to the United States Constitution; accordingly, Bush and his cronies must be lawfully tried as traitors in accordance with due process of Constitutional Law.
Fifth: By virtue of George Bush's criminal negligence and/or active complicity on 9-11; specifically his charge over the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and U.S. Military and their seriously unexplained defiance of Standard Operating Procedures that clearly dictate fighter jet intercept for passenger jet scenarios such as 9-11 dictate that he be a legitimate suspect for the charge of Treason. At the very least he must be impeached for gross incompetence.
Sixth: Thanks to dictator Bush there is still no legitimate independent investigation into 9-11 more than two years after America's worst security breach. Why the fuck not? (rhetorical question)
Seventh: Blindly accepting the ridiculous status quo explanation of 9-11 and worse yet using this as justification to launch unending war on the entire planet is beyond stupid, it begs comparisons to the "decent Germans" of pre-World War II Nazi Germany.
Eighth: Prescott Bush, George W. Bush's grandfather financed Hitler's Nazi war machine before, during and after America's entrance into World War II and was only stopped by an act of Congress. I see no significant difference between "Dubya" and his grandfather who was without question an un prosecuted American Traitor who (also) gave 'Aid and Comfort' to American 'Enemies.'
The United States Constitution - Article III Section 3 - Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.
Ninth: America's legacy for the 20th & 21st Centuries according to the legal definition of the word, is that of the single greatest terrorist.
Tenth: U.S. Federal Income Tax dollars are the single greatest source of funding for America's shameful legacy.
Eleventh: By the legal definition of the word, citizenship is allegiance and no True American Patriot could possibly defend allegiance to the United States Government in it's current state.
The American people who are not completely off their head stupid know some if not all of these grave realities and are working to remedy this situation. A situation that threatens to destroy all that makes America beautiful, potentially plunge the world into World War III, and likely incite nuclear annihilation.
The fact is I love America; as I do our irreplaceable Planet. So to my lost brothers and sisters of false American "Patriotism"; I present the above facts for your pondering. I say to you; Stop Waving that Fucking Flag and read your Constitution!; it is one of the very best things you have. Than read the Patriot Act; one of the very worst. When you do we will understand each other.
The time for action is now; future generations will not have the luxury of our "prosperity" induced state of denial. And if we were to fail our children, than we are all genuinely collective traitors to humanity as well. Patriotism must become synonymous with Humanity; Let the True American Patriots Rise!
As an ex-Marine who has visited American troops and Iraqi people in Iraq both pre and post invasion, I call on all True American Patriots to SUPPORT YOUR TROOPS FOR REAL; BRING THEM HOME NOW! - Ken O'Keefe
US & Germany: The parallels are striking
by Mike -
FreeQuark@aol.com
What worries me is that we are imaging pre WWII Germany. The parallels are striking....
lack of real political opposition (weak Weimar government--weak Democratic Party)
consolidation of massive amounts of power without a clear mandate from the people (1932 election - 2000 election)
usurpation of leftist terminology to further a RW agenda (national socialism - compassionate conservatism)
the use of propaganda (Goebbels - Rove, O'Reilly, Limbaugh, FoxNews, CNN)
hatred of the French
an appeasing British Prime Minister (Chamberlain - Blair)
contempt for the international community (Hitler ignores the Treaty of Versailles - Bush ignores the ABM treaty and U.N. treaties on global warming, the international criminal court, landmines, chemical and biological weapons)
hatred directed at leftists and other groups in opposition to the government (communists - war protesters)
hatred directed at minority groups (Jews - Arabs)
weapons of mass destruction cited as a reason to invade other countries (Hitler claims that Poland could use poison gas against Germany - Bush claims Saddam Hussein could use poison gas against the U.S.)
a terrorist attack on the country as the final catalyst for fascism (Reichstag fire - 9/11 attacks)
the merging of big business with government (Krupps - Halliburton)
extreme nationalism (Nazi flags everywhere - American flags everywhere)
a culture that emphasizes the physical over the intellectual (Aryan *supermen* - American redneckism)
leader worship (Hitler as Der Fuhrer - Bush as God's child)
the creation of an internal security department (Gestapo - Department of Homeland Security)
massive build-up of military and police forces (paramilitary SS dressed in black - paramilitary cops dressed in black)
the use *lightning* warfare (blitzkrieg - shock and awe)
easy military victories setting the stage for other conquests (Sudentenland - Poland and France, Iraq - Syria and Iran)
eventual disastrous conflict with the Russians (WWII - Armageddon?)
The only real difference is that this time Jews are on the side of the fascists, and of course this crossover of Jews is the final nail in the coffin of the Democratic Party. There is no way Democrats can mount an effective opposition to Republican imperialism without taking on the Jewish neo-cons and the fascist Sharon government, and there is no way they're going to do that and risk alienating Jewish voters. In the end, whatever disasters may befall this country, it will be because the Democratic Party placed the feelings of 2% of American voters over the best interests of the U.S.
