120 Days: “The Time Is Getting Closer Clyde Are You Sure That You Just Aren’t Too Paranoid?”
Last March I had declared at Dante’s that America has about 120 days before we start seeing people flipping out over the economy and the war. That we will feel the bite and that it could throw us into civil unrest. Well get prepared, we are seeing some interesting things unfolding and well not to scare anyone – The MOB is about rule.
The Mob will not be partisan, nor religious, or moral. It will be ‘winner take all’ and even the Military will be called in to be the well armed Saviors if it comes to bullets without ideas or even discussion.
I once again hate it when I get close to being right or even end up correct in matters that may mean some disruptions in people’s lives. Especially those people that I care about. I was told tonight that maybe I have been overreacting at that my Ground Zero Lounges have taken on a tone of hyper-paranoia and that nothing will happen. That I am worrying too much about everything.
Throughout history there have been trigger events that have sparked riots, revolutions and world wars. In the age of manufactured or perceived dangers there is a way to get the system to turn on itself and soon division even amongst the religious and political pits brother against brother and citizen against citizen.
Think of all of the push button issues that have been gracing the nightly news. An abortion doctor ironically is gunned down while attending church. The Right wing fearing a backlash for the murder. Chicago now has banned handguns in their city limits due to a supreme court ruling that says that an individual’s right to bear arms under the U.S. Constitution’s Second Amendment, didn’t apply to states and municipalities.
We also now have to prepare for the bankruptcy of California. One more thing to spark the flame for the conflagration.
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger told lawmakers in a special Tuesday morning address at the Capitol. “California’s day of reckoning is here,” he said. With no action, the state will run out of cash in 14 days. Three months after the state budget was approved, California faces a $24 billion deficit.
Schwarzenegger has already proposed massive cuts to education, health care and prisons. Now he’s looking for structural reform to make government more efficient and stretch taxpayer dollars.
With major cuts to a group of people who are already fighting to keep their financial situation from collapsing – we may actually see civil unrest—This could mean Martial law. California could be the first Domino to fall. They are a pretty big domino to start the chain reaction. Hang on to your Gold and start getting some resources—We are starting to see “Change.”
After the Ground Zero Lounge presentation of In Memory of the American Cold Case I mentioned that the investigation into the 9/11 attacks were shoddy at best and was funded with a paltry 3 million dollars, The budget to investigate the biggest crime of the 21st century eventually totaled 15 million, however it wasn’t even enough to get out press packets and brochures to get the reports out. In the meantime the event spawned 2 wars and the execution of Saddam Hussein. The invasion of Iraq was of course “ needed” because during “enhanced interrogations” at Gitmo, prisoners allegedly gave information that linked Iraq and Saddam Hussein to Al Qaeda.
CNN now reports that Dick Cheney has now admitted that he does not believe Saddam Hussein was involved in the planning or execution of the September 11, 2001, attacks. However he excuses the war by stating that the Bush administration's decision to invade Iraq was justified because of his previous support for known terrorists.
So this means that the coercion of false testimony that linked Iraq and Saddam Hussein to al Qaeda and September 11 is false. That the torture gave absolutely nothing of value to intelligence operatives.
Without "evidence” of Hussein’s involvement with Al Qaeda and 9/11 The U.S. Invasion of Iraq is a war crime according to the Standards of Nuremberg.
So, in the big scheme – we need to look back at what we were told after the attacks on the United States:
Five hours after the 9/11 attacks, Donald Rumsfeld said "my interest is to hit Saddam".
He also said "Go massive. Sweep it all up. Things related and not."
They already wanted to pin it on Saddam Hussein – but they had no evidence. Yet they carried out their attacks anyway. People just followed orders while the war criminals ordered fearful followers.
As I said to the audience last night, “Arguments and intellectual discussions on the matter of torture and 9/11 does nothing to alter the core problem The United States government has committed crimes in the past, They continue to commit crimes, and with no substantive change having occurred with the change of administrations and party in charge, these crimes are becoming blood cemented as permanent policy and practice.
The despotic government we have now, was built on little crimes, that grew into bigger crimes, that led to war crimes in Vietnam, the 9/11 attacks, perpetual war with the war on terror, and the eventual police state New World Order.
Torture, is not the only criminal act in the Bush Administration used to produce pretext for the illegal US invasion of Iraq.
Why stop here Dick—why don’t you tell us that you also planned and carried out the 9/11 attacks? Come on Dick Just rub it in our faces! No one will get angry at you—we are all ready to freak out over our inability to make money— We won’t care if you tell us all the truth… we all feel trapped and broken anyway.
The criminals and the Mob continue to rule, they are waiting for us all to let our hatred and resentment seal our fate. Damn – this is really going to make a mark!
