Reply #7: Can't say I disagree... [View All]

A few years back, I was posting about a new structure for Congress, in order
to defend it against what has obviously ruined it:

........biased, lying media (now with Bush subsidizing them under the table)

........out of control intelligence agencies (e.g., Doug Feith's shop)

........campaign finance that is out and out bribery


but I shelved that project because too much bad shit was happening.

My current view is that the mechanics of government is already smashed beyond repair
(illegal wiretapping, loss of habeus corpus, Congress shutting out the Dems completely,
etc.), and as you say, it is going to get even uglier. They are going to raze
the Constitution to the ground (martial law is definitely on the table).

I don't think the November elections have a snowball's chance of being
without major incident (Diebolded, contested, and overshadowed by either
an Iran War or a terrorist incident).

Since the corporate media is still part of the problem, the internet is
the only chance for democratic resistance.

I better dust off my old ideas and get them out there before all hell
breaks lose.

These guys have no intention of going quietly. Most of them are either
ancient, infirm, or crazy. They have nothing to lose.
