Heroic Times: Killing Haitians to save them

[Moorbey]

{June 13, 2008} Guantanamo Bay, Concentration Camps, Rome, and killing Haitians to save them
How does it take the Supreme Court EIGHT YEARS to say “it may be wrong to lock up people in dog cages in a Guantanamo Bay Concentration Camp, based solely on your suspicion they may be criminals or may one day become criminals”.

Eight years? Eight Years is a long time when you’re kept in a cage without trial, and without access to family, friends, or representation.

Eight years is a long time to spend in a concentration camp.

Eight years is a long time to spend in Hell.
And what is the military’s reply to this long delayed recognition of their ill-advised offshore concentration camps …. “We’re the military— your law does not apply to us”.

Really?

Really. It seems clear a military coup occurred in 2000, a coup by and for the industrial war complex, the architects of war. Unfortunately such clarity gets lost when you consider America’s “free ” press is owned by the same companies that have a financial stake in the war. The people who own the news, also own interest in the companies that are profiting by dropping bombs on children.

Moral of the story being… when your right hand is covered in blood, your left hand will wash it off.

The press is our Administration’s left hand.

So the coup was not televised, nor spoken.

The revolution was not televised.

So it does not exist.

SURVIVOR, AMERICAN IDOL, insert meaningless, mind-numbing “entertainment” here… these things exist. They are the face of America… to Americans.

We have not become the new Nazi Germany.

We are not the mad warmongering of Old Rome.

We are not massacring millions so that venal, greedy, suspect examples of humanity can make more money today then they made yesterday. really? we are none of those things?
“We’re the military— your law does not apply to us”

And in the last days of Rome, they were killing their Senators in the streets.
Because at some point, the law that could not bind the high, could no longer bind the low.
Why do I know the names Marion Jones and Wesley Snipes? And why have they been sentenced to prison?
A young girl was one of many in a Haitian village, who got her face blown off. From an American bullet, from an American Soldier, ordered by an An American General. Yet no one knows his name, and neither soldier nor general are in prison.

You seemingly, in this bastion of Liberty and Justice, this moral center of the World, this Christian nation… this America…you seemingly don’t make the news or go to jail… for killing non-white people.

But yeah we could find prison space and tv time for you if you didn’t pay your taxes, or if you won a medal 15 years ago, and we don’t like that you won it.

A massacred village on one hand or a sports figure suspect of improperly winning a medal on the other. Which should get the media attention and the the prison time?

“We’re the military— your law does not apply to us”

Law has to bind us all. Military and civilian. President or Pauper, or it ceases to be law. We become a nation of terror and of tyranny. And in such a nation, such a time, such a place, the only patriotic thing to do, the only right thing to do, and the only american thing to do… is to toss the fucking tea overboard.

Is to break the law.

And from its pieces… build up something, not unlike justice.

The law…

It binds us all or none.

Choose.

* The National Guantanamo Coalition - Home A must visit site! Must visit daily. When the cry to shut down Guantanamo Bay has to come from England… because inside Nazi America the propaganda machine is in full effect— you know America has problems. “We didn’t know–” they will say later, they who voted for Bush, and rolled over for every twisted piece of legislation… they will say later like good little Nazis “We didn’t know what they did in our names. We didn’t smell the smoke”. This site tells you what they are doing in your name. And I am telling you, I will leave you no excuse… to hide behind.
