The scum floating to the top
of both political parties

by Leon Fisher, Unknown News
(leonjfisher@webtv.net)      May 29, 2007

Last November the American people spoke, turning out in large numbers to elect a new Congress with the hope of restoring the voice of the people in Washington. The effort has failed!

The election, like the one before and the one before that, turned out to be just so much window dressing and lip service to delude the masses into thinking they have a say in the political decision making of their Government.

Therefore, it should not have been a surprise when the new Democratic majority in Congress caved into the demands of dictator GW Bush in regards to the continued funding the Iraq War. It appears that Congress has become, like the Reichstag during the days of Adolph Hitler, nothing more than a rubber stamp to be used to lend some legitimacy to the corporate fascist takeover
 
of what was once a government of the people.

Although the current figurehead of this bogus Government is GW Bush, he is by no means the first and only occupant of the White House to have engaged in high treason against the people. Bill Clinton, GHW Bush, and Ronald Reagan all contributed to the overthrow of Constitutional government.

But it is the present Bush regime, with the support of a turncoat Congress, which has engaged in the most egregious crimes against the Republic. These crimes include the manipulation of two Presidential elections, suspicion of involvement in the 9/11 attacks, the implementation of trade treaties ruinous to the economy, the failure of the Government to help the citizens of New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, the illegal invasion and occupation of Iraq, the passage of legislation to spy upon, imprison and torture anyone deemed an enemy combatant by the Bush Regime, and the failure of Bush and his co conspirators in Congress to halt the illegal immigration into the United States, just to name a few.

Aware of all this, how could we possibly delude ourselves into thinking that our present Government is working for our best interests? How can we think of voting for a government which by both word and deed has betrayed those they are sworn to represent?

When you vote for a Washington politician, whether he is an incumbent or a challenger for the office, you unwittingly are giving aid and comfort to the enemy. If that sounds too extreme, than why are things going from bad to worse? The situation in Washington is such that regardless of who wins office, the Globalist agenda will take precedence over that of the people.

Have we become so distracted and dumbed down that we cannot see what is happening before our very eyes -- that we're being turned into so many anonymous worker ants, having to compete with hundreds of millions of low-paid foreign workers for an ever-shrinking piece of the economic pie, while the disloyal and corrupt architects of this Globalist scam become unbelievably wealthy?

Should we keep on voting for candidates who support the implementation of Globalism, who conspire to betray the Revolution of 1776 in exchange for integration into some huge trading block without borders, without a government of the people, without the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for its inhabitants? Of course not!

The American people want peace and prosperity, and are sickened and horrified by the criminal behavior of their so-called leaders. The American people -- you, me, and we -- oppose the illegal and unjust corporate wars for control of the world's resources perpetrated by the Wall Street capitalist bankers and their political lackeys in Washington. We the people oppose 'Free Trade' and the outsourcing of our jobs.

Americans in ever-larger numbers are losing patience with the present authoritarian system which masquerades as a democracy, refusing to let real people have any real participation in the political process. Americans are slowly coming to realize who the real enemies of the Republic are. You do not have to look far. They are the waste which is knee-deep in Washington DC, the scum floating to the top of both major political parties, the treasonous rats of American politics who shamelessly lie with the international bankers, Free Traders, and the corporate fascists.

If you believe what you have just read is not true, then prove it to me and to the millions of our fellow Americans who have lost their jobs, or are about to lose their jobs to the exploitation of cheap labor both here and overseas.

Prove it to those of us whose homes are being repossessed by the banks.

Prove it to the dead and mutilated in Iraq.

Prove it to millions of American workers struggling to maintain their standard of living.

Prove that our Government is not in collusion with the Wall Street banks and Free Traders in a war against Americas workers.

Prove it, goddamn it, prove it!
