To those who saw the title "non-lute", red the message, and made the effort to complain about it: with all my respect, I gave "non-lute" name of the message exactly for people like you, to spare you reading 'sucking' stuff. If, however it pleases you to complain, please go ahead.
And before you pucker your lips and squint your eyes in a scornful, capricious face you may want to know that it is NOT MY PLEASURE to post such messages. I post them because i think that there is sense of emergency and responsibility. Democracy is a very fragile dream, believe me! NEVER take democracy for granted. AND: democracy is not to be viewed from the observers' seats. To be aware is already to participate. How do you like this: _____________________ "...This so-called ill treatment and torture in detention centers, stories of which were spread everywhere among the people, and later by the prisoners who were freed… were not, as some assumed, inflicted methodically, but were excesses committed by individual prison guards, their deputies, and men who laid violent hands on the detainees. " _____________________ Can anyone tell me who said that? Was it: A) George W. Bush? B) John Ashcroft? C) Donald Rumsfeld? D) Someone else? If you answered “someone else", you’d be right. It was Rudolf Hoess, SS Kommandant of the infamous Auschwitz death camp where over 2.5 million people were murdered. Conservatives, who love to call Liberals whiny, get whiny as hell when the Bush administration is compared to Nazi Germany, or to fascism in general. Guess what, though? The comparisons are beginning to come through more and more. Scott Horton wrote in the LA Times: Consider the memorandum written by Alberto Gonzales – then the president’s attorney, now his nominee for attorney general. He wrote that the Geneva Convention was “obsolete” when it came to the war on terror. Gonzales reasoned that our adversaries were not parties to the convention and that the Geneva concept was ill suited to anti-terrorist warfare. In 1941, General-Field Marshal Wilhelm Keitel, the head of Hitler’s Wehrmacht, mustered identical arguments against recognizing the Geneva rights of Soviet soldiers fighting on the Eastern Front. Keitel even called Geneva “obsolete,” a remark noted by U.S. prosecutors at Nuremberg, who cited it as an aggravating circumstance in seeking, and obtaining, the death penalty. Keitel was executed in 1946. Hitler was installed, then re-elected. Bush was installed, then re-elected. Hitler had Reichstag, Bush had 9/11. (I am not implying government collusion in 9/11, FYI) Both used their respective catastrophes to assume more power (Hitler with the Enabling Act, Bush with the USA PATRIOT Act), and to assume dictatorial powers. Hitler used Christianity to give his words absolute authority and decried any who dissented as unpatriotic. Bush uses Christianity to give his words absolute authority and decries any who dissent as unpatriotic. Hitler said: “The German people are not a warlike nation. It is a soldierly one, which means it does not want a war, but does not fear it. It loves peace but also loves its honor and freedom” Bush said: We’re pursuing a strategy of freedom around the world, because I understand free nations will reject terror. Free nations will answer the hopes and aspirations of their people. Free nations will help us achieve the peace we all want. I have rejected this type of comparison of Bush to Hitler for months, because Hitler was a genocidal maniac bent on ruling the world with his ideology. I submit this comparison now because I believe the same to be true of George W. Bush. George W. Bush will have his empire, and he will kill any person, group, or country that stands in his way. I challenge any of you to tell me why that is not so, as he has already proved it. * The great American traditionally land of freedom is being turned into a prison state. I read this and can't believe my eyes, how people can let this: "...An Oregon anti-terrorism bill would jail street demonstrators for at least 25 years in a thinly veiled effort to discourage anti-war protests, critics say. Actual bill states that protesters would be imprisoned in forced labor gulags..." Do you still have the scorn face on? It goes well with you? You knew about it already? You didn't want to know about it? Free speech zones? Hello, wake up! While you slept they reduced a Free Speech country into tiny controlled "Free Speech Zones". Caricature of what America is supposed to be: http://www.prisonplanet.com/310104freespeechzones.html Controlled Mass Media? Wake up, this AINT NO RIGHT! : Conservative columnist discloses CIA operative's name, liberal reporters face jail time: http://www.navhindtimes.com/stories.php?part=news&Story_ID=121025 Articles published by American outlets suppressed in their own country (talking about Auschwitz): http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article3713.htm Bush's war on information: US editors forbidden to publish certain foreign writers: (the FIRST AMENDMENT IS BURNING!) http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/nationworld/2002112639_diss08.html etc, etc, you will find plenty here: http://www.oldamericancentury.org/14pts.htm * just look how familiar this fascist citation reads: ______________________ "Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger." ~ Hermann Goering ______________________ And in the end, if there is no such thing as "new world order" megalomaniacal doctrine, what is this commemoration gun from the gulf war reading? New World Order..: http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/january2005/270105nwogun.htm *** _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!
