Sad (and surprisingly funny) that the only place on US broadcast media you really get the message of how corrupt the US administration is on the Jon Stewart Show.

I remember when the USA were the good guys! Remember when we all loathed the USSR? Yes, the USSR were the bad guys back then. Those were the good old days when even Canada could feel good about hating those pesky Soviets. The Americans claimed spying, the pending nuclear war and various other "Cold War" elements as the basis for this distrust. Most Canadians just seemed to dislike the Soviets due to our on ice battles ... they were a very solid group of hockey players!
The USA upheld democracy, truth and justice. Perhaps I was just too young and I believed the propaganda I absorbed from American TV and news. These days Bush and his cronies seem more like thugs and bandits with a passion to destroy that "God-damned piece of paper" most people know as the US Constitution with the Patriot Act. Incidentally, those are W's words, not mine.
What has happened? I'm not sure. The man is either a bafoon puppet for "Daddy", Kissinger, Cheney and the boys or it's an acting job of the highest calibre. Haliburton, The Carlyle Group and a variety of mega-sized defense contractors are all benefitting financially on a huge scale since the "war on terror" began. This false war has not been a benefit to the average American or Muslim (or Canadian for that matter). We have all suffered a loss of freedom since that dreaded day. Ironic that a war for freedom results in less freedom for us all. A war for WMDs in Iraq was really intended to be a war to spread democracy. Why is democracy so important in Islam yet it's dispenable "at home"? War is peace ... peace is war ... we have always been at war with Eurasia. Remember reading "1984"?
Who is buying this torrent of lies? I fear that W's huge base of God fearin', rural based, hay-seed spreadin', "Tractor Supply" shoppin', Nascar watchin' demographic are the only ones who still buy this load of crap. It's a shame that the evangelical Christians cant seem to see beyond the Neo-Con propaganda. Their support for W is there just because the man goes to church. Scott Peck (author of "The Road Less Travelled") once said that if you ever want to find pure evil and Satan's agent's, you wont need to look beyond the first few rows of seats in church on any Sunday morning.
This money grab of enormous proportions is costing us all ... even us "passive" Canadians North of the border. This ticker tape of lies, cover-ups and such all sounds very Orwellian & 1984 to me. I have some very serious theories to follow on this site in the next few weeks, months and beyond.
