Defining Current Politics, Old Style Rant Mode On.

Torture is unconstitutional, inhumane and ineffective. It inspires fear, violence and secrecy. It is terrorism and it creates terrorism. Torturers are sociopaths. The willingness of a person to inflict pain, injury and degradation on another person, is sociopathy. It is a mental illness. Giving the mentally ill, secret power and secret money is not going to make any nation safer.

Having unchecked power is Dictatorship. The ability to detain, transport, torture and quietly bury individuals without proof or jury is dictatorship. The ability to secretly disappear individuals who are merely accused of possibly considering crime, is dictatorship. It is the path of Stalin, Hitler and Saddam. It is the ability to terrorize and silence the voice of opposition.

Our rulers have denied open accounting in voting practice. They have taken executive power questionably on two occasions. Where they have been able to they have blocked inquiry, not only into the results, but into the basis for the results. Our leaders did not have the requisite vote in their first election. The probability that they had it in the second election is equivalent to winning the lottery.

Our leaders insist on secrecy and yet they violate security at their own whim. They insist on the right to accuse without presenting the law offended. They ignore the crimes of their team while inventing dishonors on those who face them. Our current leaders are clearly and coldly against democracy, open government, checks and balances, and the burden of proof in all they do. They demand to be above the law while demanding expansion of their power. They impoverish our nation as they enrich themselves. These men claim to be patriots as they trample the constitution that they have pledged to defend. They make Kafka appear as an optimist.

Let me make clear what I am saying, Our leaders are sociopaths. Our leaders are dictators. Our leaders are treasonous. Our leaders are usurpers. Our leaders are thieves. We are not fighting terror here. We are the terrorist dictatorship our forefathers feared.

I pray that our system is strong enough to evict these monsters quickly and peacefully. I pray that the slow wheels of American justice are still turning and will soon grind these criminals into the historical examples that we need them to be.

We the people must stand together, boldly with courage or we will surely be dragged away, quietly in fear.

20th Century--which is bad enough.
