The "fix"

Posted by Cindy Sheehan

There is quite a lot of interesting, but wild, speculation running around the blog-o-sphere, progressive circles and just plain dinner conversation these days about whether BushCo will allow a peaceful and constitutional transfer of Executive power in the ’08 elections.

Unless or until George Bush appears on our TV boxes one night, wearing a dark blue suit, white shirt and red tie with his hands sweatily clasped in a desperate death grip on top of his desk in the Oval Office, telling us that some catastrophic event, whether man-made or natural, has just occurred somewhere, and he must, for the good of the Homeland, declare martial law and “temporarily” suspend elections, the fears of many people are truly speculative. In my nightmare scenario, after George drops this fascist bomb and kills the rest of our Republic, he will tell us not to worry and to go about our holiday shopping, traveling and celebrating: it’s the American way, after all. God Bless America.

The order of events in the conversations I have heard or read go something like this: BushCo and Congress, Inc are ramping up the rhetoric for an attack on Iran (true). In their little minds and black hearts they still assume that most of us are still stupid and we will believe anything they ever say again (true). Yet, they have told us that Iran and Ahmadinejad have done just about everything except try to assassinate George’s Pop (still true). So, if you believes that 9-11 was a “false flag” op, then you say that BushCo will engineer ANOTHER false flag op, blame Iran, declare martial law, (George can do that unilaterally now because of Presidential Directive 51) and attack Iran, possibly using “strategic” nuclear strikes on “military” targets. Then of course, when our Homeland is in such a terrible state of emergency, it would be an awful idea to “change horses in the middle of the stream,” you know, so we must suspend elections: Thereby, staging yet BushCo’s third coup in a row: the first two being the stolen elections of 2000 and 2004.

If, God forbid, any of this does happen, my guess is most of us will go shopping and have our holidays as usual, however, I am not so certain that martial law or even suspending elections will be necessary. Whoever becomes our president in 2008 will likely be more than happy to continue the neo-con agenda of global, imperial and military, American hegemony.

The likely nominee for the Democratic Party will be Hillary Clinton, a Fem-Bush who has been virtually endorsed by George and accepts money from Rupert Murdoch, he of Fox “News” infamy and who will soon own every newspaper and cable news network in the Homeland.

Hillary guarantees and assures us that if she is elected she could nuke Iran and maybe, just maybe have most of our troops home from Iraq by the end of her first term. One would have to step down onto the 2nd tier of Democratic hopefuls to find a candidate who would guarantee us a swift end to the occupation of Iraq but they are no match to the money or machine behind the Clinton mojo.

I don’t want to even discuss who is likely to be the Republican nominee, because besides having little foreign policy difference between any of them and Hillary, anyone of them would be a complete disaster on matters of war and peace, with the possible exception of Ron Paul (Tx). Even though many of them, (except Rudy Giuliani who had the “honor” of standing on a pile of rubble at Ground Zero with George after 9-11 and sharing a bull-horn with him), distance themselves from the miserable failure of the Bush regime, they will all joyfully allow themselves to be used by the military industrial complex, after all, every president since FDR has. There is no reason to think any Repug or Dem will break with this deadly pattern.

The “fix” is in, folks.

The “fix” stopped Al Gore, who really won the 2000 election, from fighting for our country and our constitution by supporting those Congressional members who begged him, through tears, to sign on to continue the recount in Florida. The “fix” stopped millions of Americans from pouring into the streets to protest the fact that the Supreme Court treasonously and treacherously appointed the less than mediocre governor of Texas as next president of the USA, (which wasn't the Homeland, yet).

The “fix” is why Kerry cave into George faster then anyone could even say "recount" in 2004, breaking so many hearts and crushing so many hopes.

The “fix” is the elite establishment status quo of the way things have “always been.” We have always had just a Democratic and Republican Party, right? Wrong!

The “fix” is in the mainstream media, which rarely discusses any substantive issues and has in the past intentionally misled the Homeland in its partnership with BushCo to glorify war while hiding, or glossing over, its awful costs and consequences.

The "fix" is in compromised voting machines whose programs are written by the elite establishment and the "fix" is in the disenfranchisement, iterally and spiritually, of hordes of voters who have seen their votes go uncounted for years and who see their "elected" representatives ignore the will of their constituents, in any case.

The "fix" is in We the People who believe that we some how owe any kind of allegiance or support to the elite establishment who have impoverished,imprisoned, oppressed and killed our children for generations while we furiously, but inexplicably cling to a status quo that clearly only benefits a very chosen few. It is acceptable to protest obvious infractions like the illegal and immoral occupation of Iraq...but don't scratch the surface too deeply because we are not sure of what may ooze out. What emerges may be something that is very hard to acknowledge, let alone face and overcome.

George Bush simply does not want to be President any longer. You can see it in every twitch (when I think he is really trying to smirk), every gray hair and every line on his face. He desperately wants to go back to Texas and go on permanent vacation to give high paid lectures (?) to pad his bank account so he can jog, ride bikes, clear brush, and live the rest of his life with the moral certitude of a simpleton. He looks like he is barely being held together by baling-wire, spit and some judiciously placed wads of bubble gum. Stick a fork in him: he’s done. I do not even think that Dastardly Dick could force him to remain President after January, ’09. I hope I am right, but there is still the “I can not put anything past the Bush Crime Cabal” factor.

Barring an electoral revolution of American citizens wanting to fix the “fix” by voting with our humanity, consciences and integrity, instead of out of fear that the greater criminal will win. We will be faced with two choices, depending on ones perspective: Evil or Less Evil.

I will break my voting hand before I vote for Mr./Ms Lesser of Two Evils, ever again.

Join me in taking the Voters for Peace Pledge.

too true

— 03:02 PM Oct 22, 2007

too few folks like Cindy are daring to point out the naked Emperors.
The Psyops people tell us that only 1/3 of any group will see the truth clearly, and that this 1/3 will waste time and effort in trying to convince another 1/3 of the truth, leaving the last 1/3 to hold their onto their denial.
Which makes 2/3 of the group unable to see the nudity of the emperor.

Preznit Stupid Wants To Go Home

— 08:29 PM Oct 22, 2007

Yea, you're right about him. Chimpy is bored and wants to retire to Crawford and (he thinks) rake in the big bucks on the lecture circuit. I think he's dreaming, and that there aren't too many folks who want to shell out big bucks to listen to more of his tortured blathering.
Vice on the other hand, likes power and blowing things and people sky high and he is the one who is really to blame for the maladministrations legal and political malpractice. He and Addington are authoritarian nightmares who will contaminate the next presidency, especially if it's HRC. I don't see her complaining at all about the increase in executive power, I think she would relish having the opportunity to lay down the law and get some payback, while rewarding her corporate backers in the same manner as this pres. She is cut from the same corporate cloth, and will be a disaster.

Which hand do you vote with, Cindy?

— 08:46 PM Oct 22, 2007

I'm just wondering in case I decide to follow your example and break mine too.

But seriously, what should we do about 2008?

US Political system is hopelessly rigged

— 07:35 PM Oct 25, 2007

If elected, you may well be the first ever politician I could actually believe was on the side of the masses. Unfortunately, I don't believe there is a single shred of hope you can be elected, even if every voter voted for you. US politics are under the control of the treasonous, devilish elite and nothing short of God's intervention will change that. The masses are better served by placing their faith in God (Vishnu) and leaving politics and the machinations of the wicked to those who worship material power. Know that God will give to each their due. Relish the fact that those who are faithful can easily sidestep these potholes and will not have to be tolerate the shenanigans of these false religionists in the spiritual realm.

The Truth

— 05:48 AM Nov 07, 2007

I really enjoy reading the truth even if it is so hard to digest mentally. The truth is so rarely encountered these daze. I used to work in the MIC for Rockwell International, and I saw first hand all of the lying machinations of the beast. It made me sick, and I had to quit in order to maintain a small portion of my sanity. I worked on the B-1B bomber program. I still can't believe that I did that for $. I shall always pay the guilty price for those two years of utter insanity. I am in awe as to how easily psyoped we all are. It reminds me of my former nicotine and alcohol addictions. Totally clueless! I believe the US political system is hopelessly rigged, too. The only way positive change is going to take place is through some cataclysmic event, and I keep praying for that God-induced catalyst. We need it desperately. Thank you Cindy for communicating the truth so courageously and so forthrightly. I thank God for courageous people like you. I would love to move back out to SF and help you try and change the evil empire. I think often of the end result of MLK, Jr's attempts to bring about loving compassionate change to this MIC-controlled system. JFK and Bobby did not do so well either. I shall continue praying and looking for a way out of this mess for all of U.S.

Democracy - cha cha cha

— 01:20 PM Nov 16, 2007

My opinion on the future of America varies with the weather and the amount of antidepressants I take.

I remember in '92 - having this incredibly certain feeling that GB I would not NOT leave office voluntarily. Then I was very pleasantly surprised - until I realized that, in Bubba, we had only elected a liberal Republican President. Better than nothing, right?

Now, a bit older, I'm just as dismayed by the Repug and their Ilk, GWB and DICK. I know that eventually these devils will leave office or retire, but it's the ILK I'm worried about.

W's Pa's Pa was at it in the 30's and 40's, whether he was plotting a takeover of the US (I was stunned when I read that), or dealing money with the Nazis during the war (equally horrific, but OLD NEWS).

These nasty boys and girls will always be with us (sorry). They are like a virus to our society; they lay low when our immune system is high, when more people vote, and they rise to the top to pillage and steal when voters are disaffected. I hope we're at the end of this flu season.

That's why we don't need Nancy Pelosi in Congress - she talks moderate, but what she does is "top-down". Who does she work for? Us?

That's why Cindy - you have to go in this race to win. Period.

We have to fight the "establishment" media as well. Don't give interviews as a guest, go as a participant and stop them cold when they denigrate you. How dare they? How dare they categorize you or dismiss you?

Ask Wolf Blitzer how many children he has, the next time he tries to put you in a box. Ask them how much money they make - and who pays their salary?

Ask them their profession? Tell them that they are journalists.

Tell them that you want to represent average people, and you wonder who they are asking questions on behalf of?

They tell you you're off-topic. But it is THE TOPIC. Who gets in government should be up to the People, and they should not be swayed by millionaires staring into a glass lense, who work for conglomerates that supply entertainment as well as bombs (at least that's the case with GE).

Tell them you wish they could be more impartial in their questions and characterizations.

[Oh, Cindy, I get so mad sometimes, at the state of our society....]

It's time to fight for the country. I was floored when I watched this video. Apparently it was done in response to the '04 Theft, but it's more powerful than ever:

"The fix" Right on and courgeous

— 12:13 PM Nov 24, 2007

You are so right on...it is hard to believe that people are still going to fall for the status quo. I hope that you and the other brilliant and brave Cynthia will continue to find ways to work together to get us out of this quagmire. I am supporting Cynthia McKinney for president and know that everyone in SF that I know will support you.

Election 2008

— 12:09 AM Nov 26, 2007

Senator Fred Thompson is the straightest arrow being shot at the White House - we as voters are obligated to see that he gets there. We do owe this Nation a Godly MAN in the White House - we have yet to finish the renovation of 8 years of trashing by the Clinton gang; we certainly do not want to cause a nuclear holocaust by allowing this bad seed back in again. Honestly, People, what in the world do you really want in a MAN??? Of the Top Tier, Fred is THE MAN! Giuliani is truly still a democrat - as someone has put it , he is like Romney - a true RINO - Republican in name only. Both are as liberal in the core as can be - I just cannot say they have heart, because THAT does not SHOW! Stop looking for an entertainer, and support a man that has the MIND to make things work - he has told you he depends on God to help him; many say this, but Fred Dalton Thompson is a MAN OF HIS WORD, and you will NOT FIND ANYONE TO SAY THAT IS NOT TRUE! Ask anyone from Tennessee! Get behind this fine MAN and give his Spirit a boost with your support - you may live to regret it if you do not. He really is the best for the POTUS - WHY DID WASHINGTON AND EVERYONE ELSE ALWAYS CALL ON FRED WHEN THEY GOT INTO TROUBLE OR WERE EXPECTING TROUBLE? - BECAUSE THEY KNEW FRED COULD MAKE IT RIGHT, AND HE HAS THE RECORD TO PROVE IT - HE IS THE ONLY ONE THAT DOES IN THE ENTIRE SLATE, EITHER SIDE!!! HE DESERVES RESPECT AND SUPPORT, SO DO IT!!!

Who rules and who is ruled? The eternal Q.

As state in George Orwell's book, 1984, in the essay written by Emmanuel Goldstein, actually written by an inner party member, there is enough for everybody, with the advent of the "machine age". But in order for "The Royals" to maintain their power or hierarchy, it is necessary to sink into the ocean or destroy all the surplus production of mankind. They way to do this is to have perpetual war fueled by perpetual "Fear" Therefore, the vast majority of mankind subsist on perpetual want and poverty. In reality the extreme wealth of the Earth belongs to all of us.
