JUST THE TRUTH

I have had it!! Done!! Finished!! Over!!
What does it take for a species, such as ours, with all our newest technological advances in science, medicine, astronomy and humanity, to finally come full circle and realize we are never going to progress any further than we are right now, unless we come to grips with the one and only “standard” that holds its’ own thru every single civilization that has ever lived on this planet?
Why is it so hard for this wonderful species of ours to just take a deep breath and say, “Enough is Enough”, and succumb to the “one and only axiom” that has held sway from the very beginning?
How can we continue to watch, in horror, lives snuffed out in front of our eyes for unknown transgressions and how is it even possible that we can look, unconscionably, upon the daily killing of 1000’s of lives that crossed an “imaginary” boundary that was laid down in the sand by unknowing, unfeeling, unintelligent beings that have only ONE agenda in mind?
Where are all those “tuff patriots”, that so endlessly spit out their meaningless diatribe on endless forums, telling us all how, “I think…” and “I would do…”, and acting as if they actually KNOW something about fighting for their freedom from an aspect other than their keyboard or game controller?
When do the ‘REAL AMERICANS’ stand up and say, “This is NOT what I put my life on the line for and THIS is NOT what I worked so hard for all my life, dammit! I will NOT let a bunch of impromptu politicians walk in and take away my very existence. Regardless of what everyone thinks, this is NOT a DEMOCRACY and I will not stand by and let the democratic majority take away my rights! I will do my “CONSTITUTIONAL DUTY” and my DUTY, not JOB, but DUTY, and I will stand up and OVERTHROW this government that has gotten out of control and is only in office for the single purpose of self preservation and personal profit”!
How can a man of widely unknown origins circumvent the system and end up running for President of the U.S., without having to answer to ANY of the many requests for his live birth records, college records, etc., while at the same time, I will go to jail, for 8 hours in my county, if I cannot provide proof of a drivers license “on my person”?. How is it this man is so well versed when on a teleprompter and can’t hold a tune with answering unrehearsed questions? Exactly, when did the United States let people “just running for office” go over to other countries (Israel) and dictate foreign policy? Since when, did a man that has not even made it through the Electoral College process, start dictating Executive Orders and picking his cabinet members?
I keep hearing the words “Unprecedented Times” over and over as people talk about today’s lifestyle and the “changes” this new President is going to bring. Well, I have news for all you folks that have not done your homework or have not read any news other than Yahoo and MSNBC.
YOU are about to experience the biggest change you have ever seen in your life.
I don’t care if you lived thru Katrina AND a tsunami AND a tornado. You are going to be so overwhelmed in 1 year you won’t even know what hit you. You don’t chop down a huge tree with one big chop. You cut it down with a bunch of little cuts. Most people cannot see the “little cuts” that have been occurring over the last 10-15 years. They were all so gradual that we never felt their effects until now. They are now culminating at such an exponential pace that it’s almost frightening. We are literally going to go to bed on a Friday night feeling a little trepidation and wake up on Monday morn saying, “WTF just happened”? It will be THAT quick.
It is wild to think that only a mere 15 years ago, the stock market started rising at such an incredible pace that you were a fool NOT to get into it. Every Monday morning, someone else was introduced that would tell us how “this market is different”. They would be an “expert” by that Friday, because the market went up just like they said. To make it look and sound good, they would throw in numbers and P/E ratios and a pretty chart of the projections that their “supersoftware” had made for them. Ahhhh, the days of trading AMZN and YHOO options everyday. Sometimes making 30k before 10:30 and celebrating at the golf course with martinis by 11:30. If a stock DIDN’T split every couple of months, something was wrong. It was considered a laggard!! Imagine telling someone back then that we would be seeing the banks getting bailed out and they would have had you committed! Everyone was a lush with their $20.00 cigars and their pearl inlaid cigar cutters and their $200.00 bottles of Pinot Noir at dinner.
Cars couldn’t get big enough to haul all our “stuff” around in. But then came a threat that was laughed at by some and dreaded by others. The threat of Y2K. What a wonderful time to be alive. The speculation that went on for that New Years’ was just shy of “Unprecedented”. Most of us remember where we were on that New Years’ cause we thought it might be our last.
We had just gotten over the hangover of that event, when all of a sudden…BAAAMMMM!..We have the WTC’s fiasco. I call this a fiasco because we have come to realize that it “most likely” wasn’t perpetrated by a guy on dialysis in a cave in Afghanistan. I think it is safe to say that 911 was easily the “beginning of the end”.
Now here we are on the cusp of the most volatile time in our countrys’ history and we can’t, or won’t, face the inevitable facts before us. Somehow though, this we must do. We have no other choice. We can bury our heads in the sand and pretend that there is nothing wrong, or we can stand up as one nation and say, “I want to hear the truth. I want to LIVE the TRUTH”!!!
Why is it so hard for us to just present the truth? Mr. Obama…excuse me…Barrack, or Barry or whatever name you go by, We the people have the right for you to answer our questions “truthfully” and in full. For you to hide behind injunctions and delay tactics is probably a very noble thing to do in the corporate/legal/political world that YOU live in, but, guess what, THAT is NOT the world that the majority of people in the U.S.A. live in. Most of us don’t make it a common occurrence to lie and cover up everything we do. Some decent Americans are still of the belief that it is WRONG to lie about taxes and marriages and affairs and even their upbringing. We all know the values that you talked about on the campaign trail and we have already seen that those are NOT, in fact, what you are doing as of yet.
I approached a friend of mine and said, “We need to do something to help set this country back on the straight and narrow. Something that will get not only Washington’s attention, but something that will make every politician in the land remember that THEY work for US”.
We batted the idea around for awhile and came up with this. We call it “One Shot”. The name has a lot of different connotations involved but we will get to that later. On a particular date, at a particular time, an unknown number of law abiding citizens (500k plus) are going to show up in Washington, D.C. with our “legal” weapons, legal handguns, BB guns, Pellet Rifles and slingshots with metal pellets, and we are going to all get hotel/motel rooms within a 1 mile radius of the Whitehouse. At the predesignated time, we are all gonna take our weapons and aim them in the general vicinity of the Whitehouse and when the clock strikes, you are going to hear “The shot heard round the world”. Now I’m not sure where all that lead is going to come down, but I’m sure Dick Cheney could fill you in on that one since you don’t seem to like, or know much about weapons. Oopps!!! I almost forgot. Dick’s not too good with a weapon either.
Did you ever see those propaganda videos,that your cronies in Washington put out,showing Saddam Hussein shooting a pistol or machine gun into the air? How many people do you think he may have hurt because of his stupidity? Think about it.
After a couple of beers, my buddy said that my plan would never work. I asked him why he felt that way and he said the way America is these days, the idiots would close the whole city down for 2 weeks if they thought we were on the way! I have to wonder though, about the resolve of the REAL American in this scenario. I think they would actually show up in bigger numbers with bigger bullets. I heard Joe Biden adamantly saying there was going to be an “EVENT” on Jan. 20 or 21 that was going to test the resolve of Mr. Obamamama. I wonder if it involves slingshots?
Because of you and the forces that have manipulated the road that you came in on, it is not too hard to imagine that your name is going to go down in the history books in one way or another.
I, for one, think that it may not be the legacy that you would have preferred though. You are definitely going to be remembered and it will not be anything racial or hateful, but…
I am of the feeling, no, feeling is not a strong enough word…”premonition”…that sounds good…that the Holiday season of the end of 2008 will forever go down in history as…
“BLACK CHRISTMAS”. In 50 years they will still talk about it just like the “CRASH of 29" and all the other historical events. And YOU will be able to take all the credit for it.
Make us proud Barry!
