Our City Governments: Incompetent or Afraid?
Submitted by RantingBill on September 28, 2008 - 6:52pm.
It’s become crystal clear that our police acted out the police state script they’d been given before the RNC. There are hours of video and audio from our brave Indy Journalists documenting the outrageous and illegal conduct of those sworn to, “Protect and Serve.” Thanks to their courage and their practice of real journalism instead of stenography.
Many citizens are justifiably outraged by this desecration of our Constitution and the Nazi like treatment of innocent people. This doesn’t happen in America does it?
We now listen to public officials in both cities patting themselves on the back for superb preparation and enforcement. We are told that the police actions were appropriate and measured. Everything was fine until some bad guys appeared Monday morning and made the cops go crazy. I defy anyone who watches just a bit of the recorded video to call this appropriate action.
There is to be investigation in both cites with the investigators are blocked from investigating police brutality cases! The dark stain of this police rampage will be with us for many years. Cover-up and lies are basic tools of our secret government.
We believed we had competent and honest mayors, police chiefs and sheriffs. How can these public servants lie to the world about what happened?
Are these public officials stupid and incompetent? We know that incompetence is one of the key attributes for Bush appointees. I don’t believe they are either stupid or incompetent. Why do these reasonable public figures smile and lie to us? Fear! They don’t dare to stand up for us.
Our federal government has many super-secret combat groups. Assassination, intimidation, government overthrow are some of the many missions charged to these groups. When someone crosses our central power they are neutralized. Much as been written about the usurpation of power and the vicious tactics employed to protect power. We have overthrown democratically elected governments. JFK, Martin Luther King, Jr, RFK, Paul Wellstone, Governor Carnahan, Hale Boggs and many unknowns have been neutralized. The scared are harder to document but candidates include LBJ, J Edgar Hoover, Gerald Ford, Al Gore in 2000.
It is possible that our public officials and/or their families have been threatened and given a script? In any event all of them should be replaced and the police and sheriff leadership should be tried for crimes against the citizens.
I admit this is conjecture, so let’s look at some of what is known. Early in the planning process, local law enforcement stated that the extensive training was conducted by feds, not clear if it was the RNC, Secret Service, Homeland Security or whoever. The Federal Government gave some $50 million of our money to train them to attack us. This fact plus the incredible arsenal of weapons adds to the dark story. Would that our troops overseas were as well equipped.
How big a step is it to recognize that the actual operation and the aftermath cover-up were orchestrated by these same fine invisible folks?
What to do about it? Amy Goodman exhorts us to “Stand up to the Madness.” Where is the public outrage? The ball is clearly in our court; don’t look to our government to lift a finger. Recognize this atrocity as a call to action to continue our quest for peace and decency. We have an obligation to take back our government and prevent a repeat of this atrocity.

March of the Lemmings
Is it the thunder in the distance you hear? No, it’s just the lemmings forming up for their biennial march to the polls. The election sky falling has been reported so it’s time to vote as ordered. They have the election issues memorized. Abortion, gay rights, guns , Muslims. 1960’s peace protestors, liberals who don’t love our country, socialism, cut taxes, foreigners who aren’t like us, socialized medicine, creationism, and prayer in school. These are all critical issues for the preservation of the republic. Heaven forbid that any of these “issues” be contaminated with human thought or the truth. The lemming leaders struggle valiantly to reduce voter turnout. “Quality of vote, not quantity.” I guess that means white male landowners with net worth over $500,000.
The lemmings’ masters dig deeply in the manure pit and throw out aged, smelly bromides. Tax and spend liberals. Not loyal to America. Hangs out with terrorists. Socialized medicine. Pro Abortion. They then spice the droppings with irrelevant questions. The lemmings have no interest in an answer; they just want to keep asking the question.
We non-lemmings live in a quite different world. We are engaged in a horrible war based on lies. It has cost over 4,100 military deaths, thousands killed in “collateral damage.” We are economically and morally bankrupt. Health care is a disgrace. The rich get a lot richer, the middle class and the poor a lot poorer. We torture, we throw away and mock the hard-won civil liberties of the Magna Carta, 1297. Our Constitution is seen as a quaint and irrelevant. The Dept of Justice and many other federal agencies are infested with party apparatchiks without regard to competence.
This election is a critical juncture in our nation’s history. It is a test to see if we can still rescue which once was the most powerful, most admired, most moral country in the world, or do we follow the lemmings over cliff into fascist oblivion. The last 8 years have almost irreparably destroyed all that we hold sacred.
The lemmings must be stopped.
