Do you ever wonder about all the horrible things they're NOT telling us?

And all the horrible secrets they have? And all the horrible things they have on each other? And all the horrible things they hope we never find out? And all the horrible things they have planned for us?

I think about that all the time.

1. Yea, I think about it all the time. I often wonder how many..............

2. Just what IS that point going to be...? I keep asking myself...

They're tapping our phones...Yeah, but I've GOT to get to work..

They're monitoring our bank accounts...Yeah, but we've had this vacation planned for months.

They're reading EVERYONE'S email...I know, but I've GOT to get this checkbook balanced.

Bush has completely circumvented Congress and has rendered the Constitution worthless....True, but we've got tickets to see the Cubs.

You get the gist...just what will that watershed event be? the one that really shakes America loose?

11. paparush, I'm with you on this one, if completely dismantling...........

....our Constitution and silencing our media isn't going to do it then having "Brown Shirts" in the streets certainly won't worry anyone either.

Unfortunately, I think a lot of this silence has to do with the neocons/fundies thinking we are in the "last days". For them, any and all discomfort/law breaking/ whatever else will bring "Jesus" and Judgment Day all the quicker. The neocons/fundies are, therefore, willing to endure anything/everything to get Jesus back to earth.:banghead:

3. Yes

And all the "little things" that are happening to people on a big scale that we also don't see.

5. But..but..we have a "open andtransparant" government.

At least that's the claim we like to make along with the myth that we are a "democracy" instead of an oligarchy of the rich and powerful.

7. No, I don't because from the research I've done into these

criminals, I have a pretty good idea of what exactly is going on out there and how bad things could really get. And anyone that thinks these are conspiracy theories is pretty f'n naive. So, I don't wonder, I seeth with anger!

9. I try not to

There's enough that's talked about here (can't really say it's in the news, now, can we?) to keep me hopping mad.

Plus there are too many dust bunnies under my bed (and I think one of the cats horked up a hairball too) so there's really no room for me to cower under there, which is what I'd do if I thought about all the additional travesties Weenieboy and his cabal are probably foisting on us daily.

:scared:

12. I think we could find out more if....

we read *'s signing statements. Over-all, I have trouble sleeping too.....but remember, fear, is their biggest weapon. We must not give up or allow ourselves to become helpless.

13. absolutely . . . it's what we DON'T know that's . . .

likely most dangerous to us, our nation, and the planet . . .

what's REALLY disturbing, though, is the possibility that what we don't know is far, far WORSE than what we DO know . . .

because what we DO know is, in most cases, pretty damned horrendous . . .
