ETERNAL VIGILANCE

The Evidence Mounts Daily to
Impeach the Liar in Chief!

After reading this piece which contains excerpts from an interview of Lewis Lapham, Editor Emeritus of Harper's, where he talks about his essay in the March issue of Harper's, I thought it prudent to enter into a little diatribe of my own and spread the blame around a bit for allowing this egregious excuse for a man we call our President to continue on his merry way to the wholesale destruction of the planet and in the process to enslave all of us under the police state rule of the Global Plantation.

As the Editors of American Free Press have written about the Global Plantation,

You will either submit to it or fight against it, even if it hurts to fight. The NWO means unimaginable riches and power for the plutocrats but poverty and slavery for the rest of us. It means the total destruction of our traditional way of life, our Constitution, everything that millions of American men have suffered death, mutilation and a blighted life for. It means the end of our European heritage and culture, and will bring with it chaos, anarchy and dislocation on an unimaginable scale. It will be a reversal of the happy evolution to perfection that our "intellectuals" and "futurists" prate of. It begins the devolution of mankind to a lower state that our ancestors encountered for 10,000 years if not more. It will be the absolute antithesis of what has always been the goal of every philosopher and statesman since history began-stability and order.

I'll not list all of the infractions against Bush as there is much written already about it.

Lewis Lapham hits on the problem, and that is the despotism imposed by the majority party in the national legislature. There is a clear lack of backbone among the minority and a preponderance of criminal conspirators who are running the show in both the House and Senate. Even members of the majority party are lacking in intestinal fortitude and show little willingness to oppose Bush, Cheney and their necocon cohorts.

Bush is no Nixon, that is certain. Nixon had at least some credibility. The outrage over Nixon and Watergate is that Nixon moved to cover it up and lied to America.

Where is the outrage over this devious and perfidious liar George W. Bush with his "in your face" brand of propaganda and indoctrination called mirroring?

So despicable is this scoundrel that one wonders if the people have lost all sense of a moral compass that they are not storming the Bastille right at this moment.

And where is the Congress when they are needed to check the out of control power grab by the Executive branch?

"Now more than ever before, the people are responsible for the character of their Congress. If that body be ignorant, reckless, and corrupt, it is because the people tolerate ignorance, recklessness, and corruption. If it be intelligent, brave, and pure, it is because the people demand these high qualities to represent them in the national legislature." James Garfield

No one is above the law, and Bush has shown complete and utter disregard for the rule of law, not only in this country, but internationally as well. He and his administration have, time and again, shown their complete contempt for the Law of Nations, which was drawn upon heavily by the men who founded this Republic, and all international treaties and agreements.

Should this surprise anyone after the moral morass and skullduggery displayed by the Clinton administration?

"Liberty cannot be preserved without a general knowledge among the people, who have a right... an indisputable, unalienable, indefeasible, divine right to that most dreaded and envied kind of knowledge, I mean of the characters and conduct of their rulers." John Adams

The people forget, and must be reminded of their duty to hold our leaders to account for their actions, as they, being held up on a pedestal, owe us the duty and obligation to adhere to the hightest moral standards.

"…Our destruction, should it ever come at all, will be from another quarter. From the inattention of the people to their concerns of their government, from their carelessness and negligence." Daniel Webster

And after posting these words of wisdom from our forebears, who were ever so aware of the vagaries of human nature and the experience of mankind in his pursuit of liberty, how can we, as a people, ignore their pleadings to watch closely those we elect to maintain friendly relations with the nations of the world?

We only need to see the title and motto of this site, and nothing could be more true than these words by which all Americans should live and be aware of if they wish to maintain any liberty at all.

"The condition upon which God hath given liberty to man is eternal vigilance; and which condition if he break; servitude is at once the consequence of his crime and the punishment of his guilt." John Pierpoint Curran, 1790

Let's face it, we are dangerous men to these scoundrels and the knaves who support them simply for the fact that we speak the truth. We may not be able to change much, but we will certainly change how these things affect us personally. We will also endeavor to motivate others to bring back the stability and order in international relations which Bush and the neocons have destroyed.

The surest remedy to achieve this is to begin impeachment proceedings against Bush and Cheney for their High Crimes and Misdemeanors.

"The most dangerous man, to any government, is the man who is able to think things out for himself, without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane and intolerable, and so, if he is romantic, he tries to change it. And even if he is not romantic personally he is very apt to spread discontent among those who are." H.L. Mencken, in "Smart Set" magazine, December 1919
