 As
the debacles mount and desperation begins to spread in the administration,
the Dowbrigade is growing increasingly nervous
over the lengths to which the Bush junta is willing to go to perpetuate
their endangered vision of the the future of this country. After a brief
triumphant idyll following the November elections, the state of the nation
and the all-important public image of the administration have deteriorated
far faster than even the gloom-meisters of the left could have predicted.
The American people are growing rapidly weary of the
spirit-sapping shooting gallery to which we are subjecting our best and
bravest young men and women. The US military exists and is trained to
attack and obliterate America’s enemies, not to subjugate and police
a hostile and resentful foreign population. To force them to do so, as
a tool to prevail in a family feud and protect the interests of the energy
industry, is a crass, treasonous perfidy, and a grave disservice to the
millions of Americans who have served their country in honorable wars
over the last 240 years. This is especially true at a time when
we have numerous true enemies, stated and stateless, plotting to destroy
us and our way of life. In a sick and deadly symmetry, many of these
enemies are safely ensconced within countries which are nominally our
allies.
Meanwhile, at home the searing, instinctual patriotism
which broke out from sea to shining sea after 9/11 is showing signs of
fraying, fading, and falling into disrepute. Americans, so recently shocked
into unfocused rage and ready for sacrifice, have lost the thread and
slipped back to somnambulance, more emotionally invested in the latest
missing person case or celebrity trial than the survival of our way of
life.
This has made increasingly difficult the profound transformation
of American society planned and put into motion by the neo-con cabal
which has taken over the executive branch. Their bold initiatives
to exert control over public and private education, privatize social
security and other social net programs, keep track of where we go, what
we buy,
what
we
read, who we communicate with and what we publish, to outlaw gay marriage
and abortion, and to install Christian fundamentalism as the national
religion of the United States is starting to stutter and stall as more
and more Americans are reminded of the values that made this country
great; private prerogative, rugged individualism, personal freedom, separation
of church and state, and government non-intervention in the private
lives of its citizens.
What must George Bush be thinking as he watches his
grand schemes unravel? Is he looking for a master stroke, a game-saving
play, a trick to turn the tide of history? Unfortunately, the only thing
we can imagine which could quickly alter each of these situation in
his favor would be another catastrophic terrorist strike within the American
homeland.
Another terrorist strike would instantly divert national
media attention away from Iraq and back onto the battle at home. Especially
if it was some kind of slow-developing threat, more like the anthrax
attacks than the WTC, it would grip the country round the clock and from
Alaska
to Key West. Although it would not in fact do so, it would in the public
mind make a connection between the terrorists and the Bush war in the
Middle East. The administration would spin it as proof that we are in
a life and death struggle with an international terrorist network, the
same people who are attacking our soldiers in Iraq.
At home, the fear-fueled panic that our cherished and
privileged life style is in danger will again awaken blind patriotism
and support for the President. People will be scared, insecure and react
with anger and aggression against anyone in a turban.
As a result, the Bush program will go forward, with
a vengeance. Patriot Act II will make the first version look like a regulation
against loitering
at the mall. The administration will be able to move against its real
enemies; domestic defenders of outdated concepts like privacy and governmental
transparency. Due to its penetration by agents of the enemy, the government
will be forced to regulate and police the blogosphere.
How long will the administration be able to wait for
the next terrorist attack? Given the proven perfidy and absolute conviction
of the righteousness of their plan and their right to impose it on the
rest of us, is it such a stretch to imagine that some dark conspiracy
within a cabal behind a curtain has had percolating, for years now, a
desperate contingency to produce an untraceable but attributable attack
on America at a crucial moment, for the good of the country?
We firmly believe that somewhere in a basement room
or an out-of -the-way storage space, there are dastardly, perhaps unwitting
agents of the powers that be, waiting for a whispered word from a friend
of a friend of an aide to some sub-secretary in some obscure branch of
the swelling security apparatus, that the time has come to save America
from herself. The darker things look for the Bush war abroad, the more
nervous we should be about a catastrophic breach of security here at
home.

Perhaps next time you and others will take the presidential election more seriously. Lets not forget that you endorsed this man and played a role in seeing him reelected.
For the record, although hte Dowbrigade did vote for Bush, in an unsuccessful, perhaps demented, but absolutely sincere effort to curse him with the mojo of SEVEN straight presidential votes for LOSERS.
I did not, nor do I now, support the politics, policy or presence of our present Petro-patrician, slimy, cynical, foppish, fascist, feebleminded Yalie President, or anyone in any way associated with his administration.
However, they obviously have some heavy-duty mojo of thier own, some serious practicioners of the dark arts, to have so effortlessly thrown aside our own pathetic attempts to affect the outcome on a spiritual plane.
