The best of both worlds for the CIA (DU exclusive)

Having a mentally impaired President who is used to looking for his CIA father to fix things is the best of both words for the CIA.
But unlike the forgetful dementia of Reagan, George W Bush has a more volatile condition.

To have a mentally impaired President of the United States that garners the support of a religious movement that believes in Armageddon is the best of both worlds for a Military Industrial Complex.
Limiting his public exposure and adjusting his medication are precautions that will eventually fail.



No matter how many prayers Bush can elicit from the troops, no matter how many drugs Bush takes, he will eventually have a grave and possible public breakdown where no excuse or translation of his meaning will suffice. I only hope his total breakdown occurs after leaving office or responsible physicians intervene as soon as possible but I will not hold my breath. I expect some fundamentalists to attribute Bush's ramblings and speaking in tongues to God and he could even continue on after such an attack.

I would not wish this kind of brain pathology on anyone.
Still I want you to realize that most of the people in this current administration got their experience under a former president that was in the throes of Alzheimer dementia.

Under Reagan, government by CIA double dealing, weapon sales and negotiating with terrorists was standard operation. This scenario has now grown to immense proportions. Instead of just a few Poindexters and Oliver Norths running wild there are now thousands of them.

My brief experience with the CIA taught me several obvious things.
They consider ethics to be for boy scouts and suckers.
They love the hair brained scheme.
They hold that appearance is paramount to truth.
They will run with a credo far beyond its functionality.
They worship secrecy over patriotism and Constitutionality.
They believe long range vision is solely theirs to construct.

Clearly the current political push is to institutionalize the very same CIA way of life in our Judicial and Legislative branches of government. Circumventing politics and the Constitution is old hat to the CIA. Controlling every aspect of politics from vote counting to policy is not just a dream anymore. Media control and electronic voting is finally a way of life.

To be fair, PNAC is just a faction of the CIA octopus. To call this entity the Military Industrial Complex or New World Order, Bilderburgs or Shadow Government would be a misnomer. To claim it is primarily fascist is also an oversimplification. As an integrated organization it is subject to chaos as any organization would be. It can hang itself along with vast populations with enough rope.

It's Achilles heel is also its shining glory. They believe that long range vision is their domain. But it is at the expense of short range disaster. Insuring their own survival is classified as preserving the core of mankind. This is a noble vision as long as they are not the cause of genocide. There is work being done today to establish a controlled genocide with selective bio weapons.

Many people recognize the party is over regarding the total exploitation of resources combined with a runaway population.
The transition holds many unknowns that the "octopus" can not anticipate.

My contention with their "vision thing" is that life giving and alternative energy systems are always secondary to death delivery systems.



I am enthusiastic when democratic processes stub the toe of the MIC such as banning the use of a limited number of corrupt electronic voting machines in California or when a whistle blower makes the news for a month or two. I love to see the pendulum swing so far to the right that it must begin to swing the other way. Still I am pessimistic since the main bearing of the pendulum can be moved in any direction by less than one half of one percent of the population of the planet.

We no longer face a standard despotism. We can no longer expect to use methods of a standard revolution.

Something new is needed, and quick. All I can think of is the enlightenment from the inside out of the Military Industrial Complex and a willingness to declassify the truth, the whole truth and even the ugly truth.

can demand a medical examination by an INDEPENDENT (NON REPUG) physician? Doubt it, but somebody in DU might know of some way....
