Identity Theft of America!

Identity Theft of America!


A TvNewsLIES Indictment


An identity is questioned only when it is menaced, as when the mighty begin to fall, or when the wretched begin to rise: James Baldwin

THE CRIME

Look around. If you look really closely, you’ll see that something is very wrong. If you look in every direction and into every possible hiding place, you’ll become aware of the awful truth: The United States of America, the proud nation that existed just a few years ago, is no more.

Only five years ago, the US had a clear identity. Only five years ago the US had a definable nature and a credible reputation. Only five years ago we knew pretty much who we were as Americans. But that time, that safe and comfortable time is no more.

As 2005 comes to an end, there is nothing to be gained by denial. At this moment in our history, our identity as a nation and as a people has disappeared. It did not go willingly, and it did not go peacefully. Instead, our identity as Americans was destroyed by design and by stealth.

In essence, the people of the United States have become the collective victims of one of the most insidious offenses in recent times: the crime of identity theft.

No, we were never a perfect nation, or a saintly one. But we were working at it. We had our shameful moments and we did our share of damage. But we were a nation that cherished its founding principles. We knew, that whatever else went amiss, the nation was guided by the most astounding document in modern history. In the long run, we would right the wrongs and learn from our misdeeds. For in the end, we were a nation of laws, guided through bad times and good by the Constitution of the United States.

No more. This is no longer that country. We have been stripped of the distinction we held such a short while ago as citizens of the United States. The theft of our national identity has been thorough and complete.

To add insult to injury, the most painful aspect of this outrage is that we are only too well acquainted with the thieves. And at this writing, the culprits who wronged us are safely at work in the White House.

there's not a damn thing we can do about it.

If we can break the Republican hold on congress next year, we may be able to impeach both Bush and Cheney. But given who's counting the votes, I wouldn't hold my breath.

If We The People ever regain control, we need to find a way to prevent this perversion of our government from ever happening again.

I've been reading a lot of U.S. history these days, and it's astonishing how much we've forgotten about our own democratic culture. It just seems like my grandparents, who had high school educations, understood better what the U.S. was supposed to be about than the younger generations.
