It’s
not about the war. It’s about the treason.
It’s about the conspiracy. It’s the lies, the
deceit, the murder, the disappearances, the renditions, the
torture, the blatant disregard for the Constitution and the
dismantling of the rule of law. It's the obstruction of justice,
and the conspiracy to commit and/or ignore the crimes. And it’s no
longer about Bush or even the White House but about every
elected representative who is more loyal to their party, their
ambition, and/or their ideology than they are to the
Constitution and the rule of law.
The
question is whether this Republic can be saved; whether
citizens still retain an ability to understand what has
happened to them… to feel the horror and the disgrace of
having the Great Experiment fail on their watch. For
this nation to be saved there needs to be an awakening from
this deep slumber now…
There
is no supreme court nominee that can be offered to replace
Sandra Day O’Connor. We do not have a legitimate President
in office who can make the nomination. Why is Bush still
there and why is he still allowed to make executive decisions?
“Every
time a lie is told by a public servant in order to influence
the public to believe something that he knows isn't true, it
is an act of treason. A public servant is the servant
and not the master. He is duty bound to be faithful in
the execution of his duties and this must necessarily
include fidelity to his honor. If a public servant
attempts to corrupt the values of subordinates by having
them engage in unlawful acts or dishonorable activities,
such as requiring them to lie to others or to put aside
their own integrity, that too is treason. If you are a
subordinate and if you are unfaithful to yourself and the
truth as you know it, in order to protect yourself or to
carry out the agenda of someone who supervises you, then you
are a traitor to yourself and to others. If a military
commander orders a soldier to execute an order he knows to
be illegal or immoral, that is treason. If the
Commander-in-Chief or the Secretary of State or the
Secretary of Defense asks you to lie, or you are purposely
misled into reporting a lie or withholding the truth or
misleading others, that is treason. Can I take the
Commander-in-Chief and have him prosecuted for treason if he
lies to the Nation? I don't know. But I know
that when the President of the United States or any public
servant lies to the public or misrepresents his actions as
one thing when he knows they are something else, then that
public official is attacking our Democracy and the act is
one of treason. This is how I see it. Every lie
acts to diminish, tear apart, and unravel the fabric of our
society. And so does every lie that justifies a lie
and every dishonesty that hides a lie, or hides the truth.
This is the truth of how it is. And if you haven't the
courage to tell the truth, or the consciousness to honor the
truth, or the love to love the truth, then one day you will
not have the truth to tell, and soon thereafter you will not
live in a place that will acknowledge the truth when it is
told, and not long after that the truth will not be told for
it will no longer be allowed. You cannot be a
traitor to life, and then expect to live in a free and just
society. Who says so? I say so. Where is
it written? In every blade of grass. In the
sparrow's song. In a snowflake. In every sunrise
and sunset. In every star that lights the sky.
In every child's eyes. Every river that flows and
every kiss of a lovers lips... says it's so. Because
it IS so. And what if you are not a public servant or
a member of the media? Every intentional dishonesty
diminishes the fabric of life for we are all part of the
weave. I do not say this as an invitation to judge
others, but rather as a reminder from time to time to look
to see if the threads of our own expression are holding life
together or allowing it to unravel. Whoever you are,
wherever you are, you are a part of every destiny.
Everyone makes a difference, and simply the willingness to
hold fast to life, to have faith, compassion and courage is
what binds us together and creates the opportunity for us,
and our children, and our children's children, to experience
the blessings of freedom, happiness, and success.”1
We
should not be calling for end to the war. We should be
calling for an end to the conspiracy and the treason.
Ending the conspiracy and the treason will end the war, but
ending the war will not end the conspiracy and the treason.
