Back in the USSA…

Share article:

A New York judge rules the CIA can torture, destroy the video tape evidence of it whenever they want, and there’s nothing any American citizen can do about it, apparently. Are we now the USSA?

    I don’t know if USSA is the correct term, it sure fit’s in a tweet though!

    Maybe a Constitutional Republic which has a Constitution which has been whittled down by fascist corruption who symbolically recognizes the Constitution, but actually in practice does what ever is convenient for the means to have a end.

    It’s funny, just tonight I boasted, “I’ll never vote for a Democrat or Republican again.” Then reality hit me again, our vote is hacked, how am I going to do that exactly?

    They used to warn us about rock music destroying our eardrums and now they deploy sound cannons in American cities against peaceful protesters.

    I don’t know how things really are in the former Soviet Union these days, but I don’t like where WE’RE going!

    Well, here’s something you can do. Oppose the nomination of Tony Blair as “President of the European Union” and illegal war that took the lives of hundreds of thousands of innocent people. Sign a patition. This would be a good way to pass on this message to him and his compatriots Cheney, Rumsfeld, et al. There are few opportunities to do something like this with these types of people. Robert McNamara died recently. He was a major architect of the Vietnam War. At least he thought about the moral consequences of that war.
