Free Speech, My Ass!
RECEIVED Tue., Feb. 7, 2012
Dear Editor,
Free people need to compare the Fugitive Slave Law of 1850 and the NDAA of 2012. Anyone who chooses to peacefully act against the corruption of our corporate-controlled (now “persons”) militarized government does not have the right to a fair and speedy (or even to have a) trial: Any trumped-up charge could find you disappeared.
The Cheney administration revoked habeas corpus with the Military Commissions Act of 2006. The Obama administration has not reinstated habeas corpus; it went further by legislating indefinite detention. The fascists aren’t traitors to their masters; only the Constitution they swore to uphold.
It is clear we do not have a majority of representatives and judges to hold accountable those bankers and unscrupulous speculators (Sen. Gramm’s 1999 repeal of the Glass-Steagal Act) regarding the Bush financial psyops of 2008. Justice for all is not preferential treatment and widespread theft by the well-connected few.
The ultrawealthy, avaricious bastards that they are, have gone too far – they’ve bought the system and manipulated the theft of elections, banks, financial markets, the military, the media, industrial manufacturing jobs, the education system, and medical and pharmaceutical companies, as well as the Congress, Supreme Court and presidential administrations. The successful brainwashing of the population continues via television and gadget advertising, sports, and media distractions including what passes for news/information. Combined with the dumbing down of universal education, we are medicated. The revolution is being televised, happening in other countries where thousands are dying; here in the Roman Empire 2012, dissent is hosed down for cleanliness, pepper-sprayed on campus, or “free-speech” zoned to limit the effect of democracy.
Free speech, my ass. Capitalism is a war of the wealthy few conducted by and on the ignorant masses. You are what you eat: right now it’s genetically modified shit! Go organic or die.
