War Pig Colon Powell: The Political Uncle Tom
"Deep-Doo-Doo-Voodoo, supply-side, trickle-down, bad-rap, straight bummer-down trip".
John Ashcroft was not the only phony to beat up in the nomination hearings. The worst fraud of (both) Bush Administrations escaped his much deserved grilling, just by "designer reputation". He has blown his own horn, built himself a 501-C-3 "Survival Kit", aquired a Reagan-style Teflon flak-jacket, and nobody had the Senatorial courage to test its validity. Who is this man really, and are there any skeletons in his closet?
You bet. Aristotle used tortoise and hare riddles to explain metaphysics, and often, even a joke was effective. Here is a punny twist:
QUESTION: What is the difference between Abu Nidahl and Colon Powell?
ANSWER: Abu Nidahl won't lie to you while he is killing your kids.
Blasphemy? America's greatest hero killing children? Yes. Absolutely. And eventually, the adolescent blood on his hands will be your own kids. In the back of your mind, you know this is as true and as gravity: To be a Black Republican, you gotta be 4D: Dumb, Delusional, Duped, or downright Devious.
Powell is certainly self-deluded, and Powell has duped (and collected) millions, but he is not innocent by delusion, nor duped by anyone besides himself. He is just simply downright devious. Everything in his life, including his agenda for decades yet to come, are precisely and coldly calculated. Allow me to support that argument.
"America's Promise" dot Org
Powell likes to pass around his sound bites. But "methinks thou dost applaud thyself too much". Using these suspiciously self-serving non-profit (?) forums, Colon spends all his time selling himself as a Homeric champion. Colon has created for himself (literally and figuratively) two taxpayer-supported (exempt/thus citizen subsidized) organizations whose objective is supposedly, in varying degrees, empowering and uplifting minorities. But they are both just serving Colon's political needs, keeping those sound bites fresh in mind, at the tip of every synapse. Designer-Orgs whose sole function is really creating Powell-Mythology, epic lies created to keep Colon's political options viable.
The best sound bite has Powell telling black kids (all his public appearances start with this) "My parents came over here to America as boat people, and worked in a sweatshop to pull themselves up by the boot-strap". Powell goes on to say, they took it all, like real men, working hard to advance themselves, and they "put all those good hopes and dreams onto me". What an albatross-medallion for a good repentant born-again martyr.
Translation? What can any analysis of this faux-Alex Haley, shell-game-charade reveal?
Sweatshops make real men. Be all you can be by taking the abuse society has to offer you with dignity. Abuse like sweatshops. Sweatshops are illegal in the USA, and now, by American double speak, an actual UN-outlawed phenomenon. But the Colon-proctoscope reveals these are actually real CHARACTER BUILDERS. This Colon-clogger is pure apocrypha to any logic. It is what keeps the black man bound in shackles. It is what keeps sweatshops a silent shameful reality in America. This lie is what allows the mafia (and all the Colon Powell mental mobsters) to keep the sweatshops alive, making money for M and M Enterprises. Keeps that slumlord profit margin running at rapeseed speed. Without this spiritual propoganda, they would never find people naive enough to take sweatshop abuse and keep quiet about what alley the "workplace" is hidden in, this week. This bullshit is Mental Canola Oil; poison painted as purity; toxins FDA-greased and packaged to look palatable. Powell is about as black as Al Jolson..... only powder on the first millimeter, the rest is whitewashed pachyderm caca. No dignity below the skin, just a pink voodoo fraud. "America's Promises" are just more Reagan smoke and mirrors. 20 year old Reagan phlegm recycled in a new millennium wrapper. About as tangible as dot-com profits. Hype. Madison Avenue campaign slogans, rolled up in deductible 501-c-3 packaging to allow a legal -albeit illegitimate, conscience-stroking deduction for in-vogue Republicans.
Or, take Red Wagon Org
(please, take it.... it is about as good for black kids as was Reagan's Ketchup supplement),
Colon says this creation of his spent "295.00 per child reached". Bullshit. Up the kids' asses, maybe, but nowhere to be found on the real streets where help is most needed. Every IRS analyst or NPO investigator who checked this org's structure raised serious questions, even some criminal accounting appearances, but was hammered by superiors. Don't question the new MacArthur (all allegorical associations intended). To do so always gets either a reprimand, or a sidestep song and dance. Like the poor kid who asks Powell after one of his Colon-probing lectures, "Where is this library you talked about? I want to go to one of those places!" Recognizing how embarrassing it is that the kid has never SEEN a library, no less one with computers, Powell lunges into the audience, grabs him by the shoulders, and says, "There is a convert! He is ready to go seek knowledge!". Good proctological save. Pretend the child was making a joke! But any non-delusional could see the kid was REALLY asking you WHERE IS A LIBRARY? The kid has NEVER seen one, because there ARE NO LIBRARIES WHERE THAT KID LIVES. To that kid, an inner-city slum library is some myth, only as real as the temples on Titan. If organizations like Red Wagon were REALLY worth the tax writeoff, they WOULD be building libraries instead of lies about "how many kids they save per dollar". Libraries really do save kids, just like REAL vegetables for lunch really "save" kids. There are millions of US kids who have never seen a library because all the Colon Powells are hiding them in the suburbs; and kids who have never seen vegetables because their parents are buying crack instead. Reagan Catsup and self-serving Red Wagon Designer Orgs are the worst kind of fraud. A shameful ruse that is bad for EVERYBODY. Bad for Republicans and Democrats alike, because America has only one future with this lie. Let me paint the picture for you:
Already, even in my small hometown of Texas, with scarcely over 10,000 people, the police will not venture into the black part of town at night. If you take a wrong turn there, and end up stranded with a flat at the corner of "Crack Street" and "Smack Street", better not waste time calling 911. It will just send off distress signals to the sharks. They will hear your thrashing sounds, smell your blood, and go into a feeding frenzy over all your "liquid assets readily convertible to crack". Just forget the cops, abandon the car, pull up your collar, tear your shirt so that rag shreds are clearly visible, stay in the shadows, look like you already been raped, and have no wallet, then feign struggle as you hustle back to suburbia. It is your only chance, swim out fast, but without any sign of meat left hanging on your bones. Bottom line: the police will not come rescue you, because there is nobody to rescue the Police.
I remember the first time I got lost in 5th ward, Houston (5th ward is a city zone like Harlem or Watts, in NY/LA). My car broke down there, so I called 911 on a mobile phone because "some very inebriated natives were gathering". When I told the police what intersection I was nearest, the police dispatcher actually started laughing. When I told him it was not funny, he said: "You are in 5th Ward, and there are not enough units nearby for us to venture in there." I asked why, I mean how many units do you need? He said they don't go in "there" at night, with less than 10 units, with full riot control gear. He actually advised me to run. Houston is the 4th largest city in America. Fortunately, the city is built on a flat, subsiding swamp, so I pulled out my shirt, tore it, put the contents of my wallet under my seat, put the empty wallet in my pocket, and pushed my car 5 blocks to the nearest highway ramp. I attracted a parade following, but I already looked beaten, raped and robbed, with a car that was obviously not suitable for joyriding, so they just observed my struggle. I called the police again when I reached mercury vapor lamps. This time they came, to watch as I waited for a towtruck to arrive. I was lucky, I had gotten out of 5th ward alive. What does this have to do with Colon? If there are places in American cities where the police will not go, already, imagine what the future holds for us.
You just took a right turn into the Twilight Zone. The reality about America that nobody talks about: The streets in certain sections of every city belong to "Bonanza-land". Not a Marshall McLuhen "Bonanza-land", but a new Dodge City kind of reality. Feudal crack lords have every U.S. city under siege at night, and not even the cops are suicidal enough to violate the autonomous territory. To do so is like the two unfortunate Jews who got lost, and wandered into the Palestinian police station in November 2000. The mob came right into the police station, took the Jews out into the streets, and physically dismembered them. The Palestinian Police watched, and feigned indifference, just to survive. The police never interfere with large masses who have nothing to lose, whether it is Ramallah or Houston. If you think your city does not have such dead zones, you are already living in some kind of Gone with the Wind Pachyderm Terra. Your grasp of community reality is totally delusional. When people have no hope, they have no fear. Death is no longer a threat, it is just a release from perpetual hopelessness. When you have 20 people like that, in a feeding frenzy, with blood and hate in their mouth, only a fool would stand in their way. And most policemen are not fools. Every city in America, larger than 8000 people or so, is like this, if it has anything above 20 percent minority population. It may be unspoken truth, but it is absolute truth, and your duty to progeny and posterity demand you confront it. If you doubt this ugly truth, ask your local policeman to drive you through the minority center of town at 2am, and watch the expression on his face. He will look at you with eyes the size of saucers, as though you just stuck a twelve gauge shotgun in his mouth. He will perspire in seconds, and drift off into a thousand yard stare as deep and catatonic as any trench warfare victim. If he has eaten recently, be sure to stand away from his car door. Bravery is the fireman rushing into the blazing WTC center, but stupidity is the fireman rushing into the collapsing WTC. That is what you just asked your local constabulary to do.
Now Colon and his naive boss want to give vouchers to the wealthy, to allow them to escape "bad school environments". Typical American solution -abandon the problem... evacuate the "dead zone". Leave it behind to the malnourished inhabitants who inherit the emptiness, as those who have resources escape to the suburbs. This has been the American trend for decades, a consumable social solution for the new American Jesus Corps. but like a viral disease spreading across the landscape, urban decay has always shown its true consequences -today's suburbs become tomorrow's infected and abandoned urban corpse. The inevitable truth all subscriber's hide from is: eventually there will be no suburbs to escape to. When we replace the educated black crack addicts of America with uneducated, undernourished crack addicts, what little moral restraint and respect for law their parents showed will utterly disappear. The new generation will be raised without libraries, without vegetables, without vitamins; with only the values supplied by M and M Enterprises, and rappers by the same name. They will have nothing at all to lose, death will just be another adrenalin-teased-high, and the situation will change drastically. How could it get worse?
Shhhh! This is the part the suburban Republicans never want to consider:
Unless the elitist chosen troops of Jesus make it to the top .01 percent of "heliport-commuters", the American city will be far worse, even for the Republican AmWay zealots. What I just described, the hell at night, the no-man's land where the Police will not trespass at night, will evolve. It will mutate. It will multiply. Like last year's virus, it will adapt, and refine its effectiveness. Dodge-City "Bonanza-land" will become city wide, and non-stop. Today, at least, like Edgar Winter and Vampires, "they only come out at night". But tomorrow, addicts will be everywhere, night AND daytime, with infrared and night vision goggles. Your kids will have to wade through them on the way to school. The crack heads will not hide from the sun, they will take advantage of its image-enhancement to assess your little Red Riding Hood's basket of liquid assets. Like jaguars eviscerating fresh kill just to get the liver and abandoning the rest, the addicts will eat your kids like candy. A 24 hour-per-day war zone. That is the America which sweatshops and Uncle Tom-Tom Powell are building -if not by intent, at least by neglect.
The wisest Republican of all said: "Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation -or any other nation, so conceived and so dedicated -can long endure.
Yet, when one general after another had been tested, failed, and fired by that good President, a poet in Washington cried out:
Back from the trembly crimson field
terrible words are thunder tossed,
Full of the wrath that will not yield
full of revenge for battles lost
Hark to their echo as it crossed
the capitol making faces wan:
"End this murderous holocaust;
Abraham Lincoln, give us a man!
Honest Abe replied to the poet's call: "The North responds sufficiently in breath, but alas, breath kills no rebels."
Lincoln finally found a general, though. A devious bankrupt shopkeeper-general that probably bought all the tickets to Ford's theater just as part of an ongoing scheme to pave his own way to the presidency. A presidency stolen by such brass-plated frauds many times since. But the newest 4-star fraud is the most deceitful sham yet.
Again, to be a Black Republican, you gotta be 4D: Dumb, Delusional, Duped, or downright Devious.
Powell is self-deluded, Powell has duped millions -but he is not innocent by delusion, nor duped. He is just simply downright fucking devious. He is full of that bad breath Abraham Lincoln condemned. Slogans and fancy packaged names for slick military campaigns. Powell is no hero, he was a desk-cowboy in Nam. He never stepped foot in Desert Storm until it was over and done. But he did participate, engineering a "wag-the-dog" phony war as a re-election scam. The scenario: Bush Senior actually invited Sadaam into Kuwait, by issuing a State Department quote that no treaties with Kuwait existed. Hours later, Iraq invaded, providing Bush with a war and a re-election scheme. Shameful ruse. Sadaam is delusional, dangerous, but not naive, stupid, or suicidal. Sadaam never would have moved into Kuwait if he had not been assured the U.S. would not take action. Sadaam was a mere pawn. Powell is the bishop who orchestrated all the "Dead Kuwaiti Children" scams to pump up American support for a miserably failed presidency.
Nor is Powell a hero in his personal life. If he was, there would be no need to create tax deductible organizations designed to advance his epic (non) heroism. There would be no need for him to speak for himself about his integrity and courage if it really existed at all. He would not have to beat his own drum if he could really muster up even a band, in real uniform. His reputation would speak for itself. Powell would not have to play both roles, Odysseus AND Homer if he were not writing his own disgusting apocryphal fiction. But the best proof of this Oreo cookie is his economic priorities. Powell's investment portfolio includes two corporations with known histories of sweatshop operation. That is a morally unacceptable choice for anyone, but an even greater sin for skin that is black beyond the surface.
As the poet cried out in 1863, "Give us a man!" Not this jingle-tossing desktop-jungle warrior. Not some Uncle Tom self-decorated with cheap chocolate frosting, phony baubles, bangles, and beads. A real man, not some slogan-tosser with a pocket full of 501-c-3 dud-ammo. Not some Oreo cookie hawking born-again charlatan tonic from a self-serving one-man campaign bandwagon. Not some fraud willing to consume and abandon his own kids as campaign fuel.
What does Powell's recent sound bite: "We have unfinished business with Sadaam" REALLY mean?
Probably, that once again, as in 1990 when another Bush has failed dismally in every domestic issue, Powell will rise like a Phoenix to the occasion: create another Sadaam-Scam to ride through the election. Kill off a few more black babies in a trumped-up phony war without "resolution or solution"... just like Desert Storm. It will supposedly get someone elected. But who will it serve? Why, President Colon, of course!
And the truth? It is the first casualty of war. Now, since Colon "owns the messenger" you can expect less interference from the press. Colon owns America's first "Ministry of Truth".
I learned long ago, the world is not what it appears to be. Its motives are concealed by massive corrupt institutions, most of which are American, whose vested interests and defiled allegiances now defeat the purposes for which they were designed by America's wise (but decades-long ignored) creators.
As a "first-glance diversionary story" of such treachery, darkly relating directly to the Taliban trickery: Colon Powell made 4.3 million dollars the very second AOL/Time/CNN merged. Fact. It is on his tax return. But how much of both corporations' stocks he had to own, to profit that much in mere milliseconds, was not required to be reported. One can only guess.
I'll supply some links to existing (at least, for a while) TRUTH as I pass them along:
http://www.opensecrets.org/bush/cabinet/cabinet.powell.asp
"Powell's son, Michael, was the only commissioner
at the Federal Communications Commission (http://www.fcc.gov)
who advocated letting the AOL-Time Warner/CNN deal go through,
without ANY scrutiny. President Bush recently named Michael
Powell chairman of the FCC." (Gee, what a complete surprise, eh?)
Now consider a few more facts in that context to see the real light before the coming clouds conceal what's left: CNN is the only network that made no mention of Powell's role in extending the Iranian hostages stay 3 more months, past the 1980 elections. Or his role trading arms to the Iranians to hire assassins in Nicaragua. Nor any mention about him murdering hundreds of thousands of Central Americans. Mere oversight, eh? Perhaps.
CNN did not mention "opium" at all when it reported on US aid to Afghanistan in the 1980s, either. Despite the fact that it was the very reason every colonial power in the past 200 years has invaded there, from the British (Kipling) to Soviets, and America's first contra-intervention in the 80s.
Appearing to diverge even more (only at first), CNN is the only network that reported "homeless vagrant votes were being bought with cigarettes in Kansas City". Anyone versed in common sense -or law, knows homeless vagrants do not have voter's registration cards, cannot obtain one, and therefore, cannot vote. The card must be mailed, and "the sidewalk at 5th and Elm" is not a valid address. All states are required by Federal law to have the following notice on the envelope: "Postmaster: Do not deliver to a fraudulent or invalid address". The story was pure Apocrypha. But it was the start of business interrupted in November 1992. Daddy's real "New World Order".
Next, in that portent script, being from Florida myself, I can tell you with absolute certainty, there is no way a Nazi like Pat Buchanan could get 5 votes in Palm Beach county, no less 500, or 5000. Even Pat Buchanan himself, was offended, and announced he "rejected the votes of those deceived Jews" because they were not his "desired constituency". Nonetheless, they remained cast as is, and the Nazi's rejection went unreported, .....by CNN at least.
Then, I have two friends who were at the next crime scene, when CNN "arranged" in their presence, (assuming they were partners, even choreographed once more, the "agreed script" before rolling the cameras) to have a small crowd gather before a well-known recount underway. When they beat upon the door, and threatened to "follow everyone inside home, no matter how long they hid in there", the conscientious counters resigned their positions, and called off the "last and most important count in American Democracy". This tactic seems creative, even clever, but it is merely stolen straight out of Hitler's "beer hall putsch and subsequent "election". Knowledge of that event left me without belief that random selection was at work. I began to pay closer attention to what events took place prior and after this moment, in any regard to what CNN "selected or ignored" to report upon. Many bizarre frustrating events played out afterwards, as you surely are aware, and need no discourse upon. But it seems all events thereafter flowed neatly into supporting the news CNN may "direct", as well as "report".
After that, the Supreme court decided whom was president of the United States of America. Whom the president actually is, was a matter interrupted by, and decided by, the supreme court (no longer meriting capitalization) and CNN. Regardless of how happy you are with the choice, the decision was not made by counters, voting machines, NOR Americans. It was made illegally. By the Supreme Court, not the people. That set a precedent. They can do it again now, anytime, if there is no backlash. This was a coup. Just as much a coup as the one that daddy arranged when I was there, in Afghanistan. Or Nicaragua, where daddy slaughtered hundreds of thousands of what George Bush senior calls Catholics: "Vatican Meat".
There is one item left on the Powell press agenda: The FCC (with its newly appointed chairman) will soon consider whether to allow AOL to keep its monopoly on the "instant messaging" technology it developed for the Internet. Then, the new "ministry of truth" (not) will have the control of "instant reality updates" not just on TV and computers, but PDAs and cell phones worldwide. A frightening scenario that science fiction writers like Orwell only imagined, in their ugliest nightmares.
But I fear I may have discovered the last step in the new order of business:
I fired stinger missiles in Afghanistan at a Soviet Hind helicopter. Stingers never miss. It takes 3 seconds. A leading engineer just reported, that without the second plane's (20 minute-delayed) final death-blow, there would ONLY have been a fire to extinguish at the WTC, perhaps 200 bodies to carry out, and it would all still be standing, at this moment. Osama should be imprisoned for life with a cell full of pigs -the ultimate insult to a Moslem (if he is accepted as one, by any) -and it is his "just reward". But "Wanted: Dead or Alive"? Cowboy Looney Tunes uttered by an ignorant fool. If Osama is killed instead of tried, justice and the truth will lose again, as they always seem to, in these epic American events. The president's father created Osama, and funded his exodus to Afghanistan. It was about shaming Soviets and controlling Opium, but something went terribly wrong thereafter. The good Americans bailed out with the Soviets, and only the bad ones remained. All our CIA agents stayed behind after the Soviets ran away. They became "private entrepeneurs" in the lucrative commodity, just as so many rogue CIA cowboys did after Viet Nam, Laos, and Cambodia. This terrorist war started "smack" in the middle of Afghan poppy fields. We must know the truth this time, even if it takes a British prosecutor to rip it out, in open court.
Absurd that I suggest it is an unanswered question?
Q. How many bombers of Lockerbie requested daddy release their CIA/FBI "payroll records" for their defense?
A. All of them.
Q. How many FBI "paid informants" were among the first "Rathman" WTC bombers?
A. 8.
Why did England release Augusto Pinochet, the premiere mass murderer in South American history? His attorney subpoenaed George Bush Senior, for having killed Allende, his duly elected predecessor and installed Pinochet, in lieu. Installed complete with New World Orders of business; Zapata straw-man copper mines, and death. Thousands. No, with the "witness for defense" denied, England declared Pinochet "unfit for trial" and sent him home -to avoid the obvious.
Consider this the last question I ask you to weigh, perhaps with tears in your eyes, as mine are so filled with lately. This prompts me to make one last attempt at redemption:
The direct burning question all this prefaces? When there were so many well-equipped local stations in New York who moved immediately, yet missed the first several minutes of the WTC attack; Why were CNN cameras trained on the building from the beginning, at two of the most curiously unusual rooftop locations? Placing the camera angles on a map of NYC, you see them all curiously equidistant, safe locations. A perfect triangle. Wasn't that a convenient "panoramic perspective" to "accidentally" be inexplicably loafing about, "waiting for action"? Like many questions related to CNN's true "parent corporation", this one may never be answered, especially by the majority of Americans who subsist entirely on its designer news diet.
Do I contend they orchestrated it? No, of course not. I'd be using guns instead of a pen if I believed that, in answer to a Thomas Jefferson call to arms. But, sometimes, as in the documented (and quite sufficient) advance warning of approaching Jap planes at Pearl Harbor, it is more convenient for dark strategy to ignore intelligence. Indignation and outrage allow extreme response. Why would such an incredible and nauseating prospect as that, veiled between the lines be to anyone's advantage in America? The "sacrifices" that must be made, by the presidential War Powers Act are quite advantageous, and profitable to many "interests" in America. The erosion of Civil liberty that the disbarred clown and imprisoned Webster-co-defendant Ashcroft has proposed in response, will return the 1968 "silent majority" to its previous "censure" and (mythological) "control". They will be given a new (single) edict: wave the flags, and beat any outspoken critic with the flagstaff. The 1991 ruse that failed to reap its expected rewards in 1992 will far more adequately survive 2004. Carte Blanche itinerary: Kabul, Baghdad, Mogadishu, Tripoli . . . . the new edict has no limits, no bounds, and there is unlimited potential for renewal. Proof? I live in a neutral outpost of the world where the truth arrives from a diverse palette, not just CNN international. But a good story just surfaced. CNN's transvestite vamp was recently stationed in Mogadishu for the timely release of "Black Hawk Down" (she had a 43 gun military escort to protect her stay, does Dan Rather ever get that?). A flotilla of the very namesake of the movie appeared, and dropped 6 freshly bootlegged VCR copies from the sky. The next night, there were 6 "theaters" in Mogadishu showing the illegal unreleased contraband movie on TVs in large outdoor courtyards for ten cents admission. The whole event was obviously scripted so that CNN could film the audience leaving. Catch their comments, joy, and boastings of "we beat the Americans". Another said: "The Americans lied, they did not die like that, heroic". Finally, the desired fodder manifest itself, the words that were the very reason for the airdrop; one kid said "I watched that first asshole die." Poor kid. He thought he was reacting to his own adrenalin, the flow of providence, random fate in the space-time continuum. He was just a pawn in a scam vaudeville play, A new Cohan flag-waving musical. He uttered the very lines that were needed, to justify his future martyrdom. His words were like the deep-thud sound of torpedoes striking the USS Arizona below the waterline. He will become the next Al-Jazeera sound bite in some near-future vengeance. Bang the drum slowly . . . fade to Kabul, and file that tape for later use.
Absurd scenario? You will see that sound bite, on all US networks next time, when it is convenient for CNN to release it. You will hear all the dialogue I just described. It will be used like the (fictitious, Colon Powell-designed) dying Kuwaiti babies "filmed in the hospital". For what purpose? Where is the ultimate power in America? Not in its many gods, nor ever of late, directly in the people. To assume "voters" control America instead of those who form voter opinions is to confuse effect with cause. Power was always in the hands of the few "Hearsts" who controlled the minds, sentiments and opinions of voters. The battleship Maine was America's earliest WTC. Nobody really believed weak impoverished Spain would dare confront America on its own turf, until Hearst made that lie "truth". The objective was Cuba and the Phillipnes. Fastest confiscation in modern history, both islands turned out to be poison for America, but not for Hearst's coffers, nor any of his colleagues. In America, power is who gets to tell the "truth", whether it is "true" or not. Direct spin control. If you control the news, you have power. If you do not control the media, you have no real power, no matter how much money you have. No matter what office you hold, a press secretary totally determines your success and survival potential. CNN is now running 24 hours a day in every country on the planet. Peking, Baghdad, Kabul, Hanoi., non-stop. Yes, they do have a tape lag of 2 minutes, to pull any bite they find unpalatable, but even there, the "truth" is served ala Americana.
Now, with "lesser evils" (by contrast) like Hearst gone, that ultimate power will be only in the hands of the very government the press was designed to police. Its own traditional constitutional enemy. This "ultimate merger" of AOL-Time Warner-CNN-Fed becomes a recursive nuclear fugue, echoing itself, as its own "wag-the dog-watchdog". A "view through a twisted looking glass" spiraling into a great ominous international black hole, that will suck every drop of truth and freedom from the planet, like a thirsty Afghan camel sucking on a sponge.
Colon Powell knows how to play the new game best, because he helped write the first test scripts, 10 years ago. The only thing he really considers before all decisions is his own "8 year agenda", circa 2008. Sorry, but I am convinced he has no loyalty to anything, whatsoever, beside his own blind ambition. Not even his current "boss", -so I even wonder, will Colon really rule out 2004?. Only that remains to be seen. I am sure CNN will keep us up to date on that.
Give us a general.
Give us a real man.
A-man.
