Since September 11th, the focus of all Americans has been to come to grips with the horrific attack upon our people, to bring justice to the criminal minds that brought it about, and to ensure that such an outrage never befalls us again. In this we are all united. But it would do us well to remember our roots. |
| We are the offspring of Revolution. The descendants of anti government radicals, who instinctively knew and WARNED us to be wary of the Man On Horseback, waving flags for God and Country, ready to establish order. While each of us wrestles with our personal pain of September 11th, we should also exert patriotic resistance to any that might try to highjack this national emergency for their own interests. It is our duty to keep a watchful eye for any subtle attempts to rewrite laws and enhance police power for national security, (ala the Reichstag fire) In 1936, Franklin Roosevelt warned us that, "unbridled capital" was as great a danger to freedom as was unbridled government. 60 years later, they seem to have become the same entity. When we hear government announcements about Military tribunals, secret evidence and the value of torturing suspects, it would be prudent for us to recall, that this is the same group that gave us, (just in recent memory), the Warren Commission, The Gulf of Tonkin resolution, the coup in Chile, the Pentagon Papers, Watergate, Iran-Contra, Whitewater, Not to mention the apparent creation and arming of the likes of Saddam Hussein and Osama Bin Laden. Somehow there's always a money trail that leads back to this same invisible cabal of wealth and power, and these same vested interests are now leading the great parade to avenge 9/11 at any cost, even if we must alter a few insignificant liberties here at home. This is the poetry of the Jackboot, heard and resisted by our founders. It's the chorus of the banker state, playing side by side with the approaching hoof-beats of the Man On Horseback, riding from the rubble of Ground Zero, for a rendezvous with destiny, and the will to power.

"Fellow citizens, we cannot escape history... No personal significance or insignificance can spare one or another of us. The fiery trial through which we pass will light us down in honor or dishonor to the latest generation... We shall nobly save or meanly lose the last, best hope of earth... The way is plain, peaceful, generous, just- a way which, if followed, the world will forever applaud and God must forever bless-" ABRAHAM LINCOLN, at the close of his Second Annual [State of the Union] Message to Congress, 1 December 1862. |
