American Meltdown - Get Ready For Next Un-Natural Disaster
America is in a meltdown. And the world is watching. We are a nation of haves and have-nots governed by lunatics and liars. I don't know if Bush and his neocon friends are completely incompetent, criminally insane, or just really, really evil. Whatever the case, I'm afraid that another un-natural disaster, worse than Katrina or 9/11, is just around the corner.

According to published reports, the Bush Administration has developed plans to nuke Iran back to the Stone Age, an act which could take a large part of the region with it. Many observers believe that Bush wants to invoke martial law here as well. Rumor has it that Bush will use a 'staged' nuclear attack on the U.S. as pretext for his pillage. It will be an inside job, but blamed on Iran. State-sponsored terrorism against a nation's own citizens is a familiar ruse. Most people won't have a clue, thanks to our criminally-complicit corporate news media.

To succeed with such a plan, Bush would need to hold the American public under tighter control than ever before. To that end, much has been done. America is already a corporately-controlled nation. During elections, domestic and foreign corporations electronically process over 80% of all voters' ballots with no meaningful oversight or transparency possible. Corporations own most of the news media and telecommunications. A private Internet (Global Information Grid, or GIG) is currently under construction for use by the military and government only. So, the public Internet could be shut down easily. Meanwhile, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has reduced bandwidth for ham (shortwave) radio operators, further restricting low-cost public communications.

3. You wanna bet?
All they have to do is send the "alert" to their "base" to "shut down any opposition". They're just ITCHING for blood (anyone's blood)

4. I don't think that they can pull it off - there's far too many basically
"honest" people who may have been pushed down but are NOT out of the game. Also, thank goodness for credible foreign news sources and the Internet that our dear "Al Gore" invented! <joke and cute tease>

No, it takes seemingly forever but evil has about run it's course with this arrogant but basically incompetent administration.

Hell, PT Barnum wouldn't take on a PR position with Bush-Co. now ... and most fun to watch - those Republicans with a shred of personal integrity are beginning to jump ship en masse. ;)

Our Country's nightmare is far from over but I believe THIS is now the "beginning of the end" for these evil players.

Albeit I'm a practicing liberal Catholic, there's something to be respected in the concept of "balance" between the good and evil forces in this world. In other words, the scales of Tao ... they are a tippin'. :-)
