Understanding America
The only way to understand the actions taken by the U.S. government is to first realize that this is not a nation, it is merely the world's largest business enterprise.

The Sniper Coincidence
I know I'm not the only one who has doubts about coincidences, particularly when they happen on a grand scale. For example, when the good people of the U.S. should have been debating whether or not to attack Afghanistan, their attention was instead diverted by all the news stories about their own vulnerability to being killed by a random anthrax attack. Today we know this was an inside job ... the terrorist who mailed the anthrax is one of us, quite possibly someone working for the government.

Two days ago, the U.S. Congress essentially cancelled our Constitution when they gave unlimited power to wage war to the military junta that took over this country when they rigged the elections of 2000. In our schools we teach our naive young children that our country is always for the underdog and that we will never be the aggressor in a war. Not only is this a factual lie, the doctrine of first strike is now the law of our land as well.

A stake has been driven deep into the heart of what most people in this land still think of as America. With this final abrogation of power by our elected officials, our pseudo democracy is dead ... the judicial branch died in November 2000 when it failed to protect the voters of Florida from what has now been proven to be a rigged election. On the streets and around office water coolers, people are quietly talking about what to do if, or when, marshal law is declared, and few people believe that national elections will be held in 2004 ... these are dark days indeed. BUT WHAT IS THE ONLY THING THAT WE SEE AND HEAR IN THE NEWS THESE DAYS? ... a sniper is killing people at random in the Washington, D.C. area. That is quite literally ALL that is in the news ... even the BBC News show hosted from Washington spent most of its time on Friday with the sniper story, and they DID NOT EVEN MENTION THE VOTE IN THE SENATE, which anointed Caesar its emperor.

The silence in the media on this issue is deafening. Isn't it an interesting coincidence that once again our attention is diverted from the main issue, and instead we are being forced to focus on concerns for our personal safety. In our nation's capital, of all places, isn't it an interesting coincidence that its citizens and its media are being forced to stay indoors, almost all public events cancelled, and thus in our very own capital there is not much of a chance to discuss the death of the republic. This is effectively marshal law without the edict, and it has been brought about by a person or persons who have the skills of a military marksman .... what a surreal story this is.
