The time has come

There will be no Morialekafa until Wednesday.

It is just as well. There really is very little left to say. Bush/Cheney and the neocons simply have to go, one way or another. They have made a complete shambles of the United States and are trying desperately to destroy the rest of the planet as well. It is surely common knowledge by now that the "war" in Iraq was a terrible mistake brought about by outright lies and deceptions. It is perfectly clear that the torture was not instigated by a few low-level soldiers but was, in fact, the result of careful study by the CIA of just what would work to humiliate Iraq citizens. There is no doubt that Bush/Cheney and others are guilty of heinous war crimes: attacking a country pre-emptively, hiding prisoners from the Red Cross, incarcerating prisoners arbitrarily with no rights whatsoever, using white phosphorous on human beings, war profiteering, rendition flights, secret gulags and more. Then there is the complete failure to deal with Katrina, incompetence even beyond belief. The absolutely obscene national debt brought about by complete fiscal irresponsibility, including tax breaks for the filthy rich. And scandals everywhere you look: DeLay, Abramoff, Frist, Cunningham, Libby, doubtless Rove and Cheney as well as dozens of others. Then there is the almost certainly illegal spying. Secrecy and stonewalling are all we get from the administration which continues to be supported uncritically by Republicans and apparently immune from criticism by Democratic fellow travelers.

So what is the point of talking about all of this day after day when nothing, absolutely nothing, seems to be happening to do anything about it? Obviously those presently in positions of authority are refusing to act. If anything is going to be done about this terrible state of affairs it will have to be done by ordinary citizens with whatever means they may have. If ordinary citizens fail to act the counry will surely be lost to fascism and disaster. Corporations and the filthy rich love it. Apparently some 39% of Americans also love it. They are not the majority.
