Treasonous pied pipers of American politics

by Leon Fisher , Unknown News

The arrogant criminals who have usurped the power of the people in Washington are so predictable. Like their role models of Nazi Germany, they use the same methods to gain and keep power, and in some cases even the same words to justify their tyranny. It therefore should be no surprise when they make war on other sovereign nations who pose no threat to us.

The present gang of bandits in the White House, although the worst by far, are not the first to have abused the Constitution and laws of our country, nor the first to have engaged in war crimes. Lyndon Johnson, the other dictator from Texas, after having been installed by his fellow plotters upon the assassination of JFK, shortly thereafter began the long and bloody war in Vietnam. Typical of the arrogance of the corrupt and immoral men drunk
 
with power who have epitomized our leadership for quite some time, he dismissed repeated warnings from the French, whose own disastrous experience in Indochina should have given pause to any American military adventure in Southeast Asia.

Aware of this, we should not be surprised by the latest attempt at warmongering by the smirking chimp GW Bush, who like his predecessors has committed American troops into a no-win situation in both Iraq
  and Afghanistan.

But this drain on American lives and treasure is not enough to temper the aggressive mentality of the Bush Cabal and their enablers in Congress. They are now actively pushing for yet another war, against Iran.

The election of a new President in 2008 will not change anything, just as the election of a new Congress in '06 changed nothing. Every candidate vying for the office of President is beholden to foreign and corporate interests, and despite their rhetoric to the contrary, none has any intention of changing anything.

Not only can we look forward to the humiliation of eventual American military defeat in the Middle East, but economic ruin here at home, the beginnings of which has reared its ugly head with the collapse of the housing market and rising inflation.

The treasonous pied pipers of American politics, instead of calling for a reverse to the destructive policies so damaging to America, continue to lead us deceptively into a further morass from which there is no return.
