AMERICA: VICTIM OF IDENTITY THEFT

IDENTITY THEFT OF AMERICA

A TvNewsLIES Indictment
Dec - 2005
An identity is questioned only when it is menaced, as when the mighty begin to fall, or when the wretched begin to rise: James Baldwin

THE CRIME

Look around. If you look really closely, you’ll see that something is very wrong. If you look in every direction and into every possible hiding place, you’ll become aware of the awful truth: The United States of America, the proud nation that existed just a few years ago, is no more.

Only five years ago, the US had a clear identity. Only five years ago the US had a definable nature and a credible reputation. Only five years ago we knew pretty much who we were as Americans. But that time, that safe and comfortable time is no more.

As 2005 comes to an end, there is nothing to be gained by denial. At this moment in our history, our identity as a nation and as a people has disappeared. It did not go willingly, and it did not go peacefully. Instead, our identity as Americans was destroyed by design and by stealth.

In essence, the people of the United States have become the collective victims of one of the most insidious offenses in recent times: the crime of identity theft.

"Let’s face it. In just five short years the George W. Bush administration has changed the very nature of this country. It seems like only yesterday that Americans took such pride in their country and had such faith in its integrity. We really believed in the power of democracy and despite our diversity we shared so many goals and dreams.

Among other things, we truly believed that:

right made might, and war would always be a last resort
ours was a government of and by and for the people
our rights as Americans were protected by the Constitution
we had the right and the responsibility to question elected officials
we had every right to peacefully protest the actions of our government
an attack on our nation would be immediately investigated
secrecy in government was limited to security issues
our government would always honor its international agreements
our President would not lie about the reasons for going to war
we would never launch a preventive war against a non belligerent nation
those opposed to a war of choice would never be viewed as traitors
our leaders sought the respect of the world community
we were committed to the UN and global cooperation
our elected officials would not personally profit from wars
our government would help protect human rights everywhere
our Constitution guaranteed a system of checks and balances
there was a clear separation between church and state
scientific knowledge could not be replaced by religious dogma
our government was committed to protecting the environment
our nation would never be placed in enormous debt for generations
our military would be properly armed when sent to war
our leaders would never condone the use of torture
our Constitution protected us from the abuses of government
due process was an inherent right of anyone suspected of wrongdoing
our media could not be controlled or intimidated by the government
our leaders could be held accountable for their actions
voting machines would leave a paper trail and could not be compromised
our government would never be permitted to spy on law abiding citizens
our nation would never strive for military domination of the globe
but most of all, we truly believed that

we would never, ever be ashamed to be Americans

How wrong we were."

it allowed a moron like GWB to steal 2 elections.
The House and the Senate should be ashamed they allowed themselves to be steam rolled.

The republicans were COMPLICIT in this theft of our identity.

We have no representation. The morons who knee-jerk defend this travesty have no representation either, but they don't even know it.

And we are supposed to "support the troops". Why? What are the troops fighting for? It sure isn't us. I support the individuals who are unfortunate enough to have been recruited (because they were told lies and given false promises); I do not support the military, because it is in the thrall of the repuke criminals.

theft of our identity."

Thanks for correcting me.

thoroughly disenfranchised without raising a cry from the public (NO ONE SEEMS THAT INTERESTED EVEN NOW). We grant winking nods at corruption, fraud, sundry white-collar crimes, as typical political stuff. But goddamn it, pre-emptive war policy, constitutional abuses of government protocols, citizen's freedoms, rights established by rule of law--negated by a cabal of misanthropes?

American Identity Theft--will the world buy it? More importantly will they be concerned enough to help, assuming that jack and jane america wake up and ask? I am guilty of having been too absorbed to get involved, is it too late to play Civics now?
