Nancy Pelosi - telling the truth finally

Posted by CyberMom on Monday, May 18, 2009 2:47:50 PM
Yes, Nancy Pelosi is the victim of her own moral standards. She was not meant for politics. In fact, I feel quite bad for Ms. Pelosi at the moment in time and wish there was some way I could help her. And, yet, with all she's done that has been egregious toward the people of this Country, it's a fact that she is at the receiving end of what she helped contribute to. Why? More of her outrageous commentary? No - in fact - it's because she's finally being honest. She's finally telling people the truth, and now, nobody will believe the little boy who cried wolf....
 
You see, Ms. Pelosi did NOT lie when she said that members of our 'intelligence' agencies (the CIA, the FBI, Internal Affairs, etc.) lie to Congress. When Newt Gingrich, ex Speaker of the House, spoke on the Sean Hannity show saying that Nancy Pelosi was undermining and attacking the innocent and pure "intelligence" agencies of this country and berated her, HE LIED TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. Why? How? Because - If - IF - Nancy Pelosi is telling the truth, then guess what? That means that old Newt knew the truth as well. In fact, it is HIS integrity that is on the line, not the integrity of our "intelligence," agencies. Quite frankly, the words government and intelligence are not only oxymorons, but rather strange bedfellows. What really makes this a 'major' issue that has unleashed such a horrid attack on Nancy Pelosi (and for those of you desensitized to the media - the attacks are outrageously extreme in comparison to ANYTHING else going on right now), is that it also puts 'Ex-Senator,' Mr. Barrack Obama, the current President - on the line for also knowing the truth about the lies AND contributing to it. You see - there's evidence. Not just the Guantanamo Bay garbage, but SO much more -
 
(I'll reflect on only a select 2 or 3 topics in this paper - as the FULL list would take a lifetime to present to you) 
 
When the Adam Walsh Act was initiated, its intentions seemed to be in support of the need to protect our children. However, there is a very dark and underlying agenda to this act. The American Prosecutor's Journal published a "guide" to understanding the Adam Walsh Act. It includes statements such as: "Prosecutors will find some very helpful language contained in the Congressional Findings..." and "Discoveries are not final appeable Orders," et. al. What does all that refer to? It refers to the prosecutors of this country, the D.A.'s that I wrote about previously who supposedly "support the Constitution," in full, relying on language in that bill that allows them to circumvent the Constitutional right for a Defendant to have access to all of the accusatory witnesses and accusatory instruments to be used against him or her. In fact, it outright limited and diminished the ability of any defense attorney to provide a Constitutionally adequate and sufficient defense. Of course, prosecutors love this. They are no longer bound by Constitutional laws protecting everyone. Don't misunderstand - you soccer mom, paranoid schizophrenics of the world out there - we're not talking about the rights of the guilty - only the accused. What's the difference? While you may be so insensitive that you don't care if a person's guilty or accused - you find guilt in everyone - like the good, God-fearing, loving, American you are...... what should scare the living crud out of you is that an innocent person no longer has the right to prove their innocence - and the guilty one continues to stalk the streets - and OUR children. Sorry, but unlike the ignorant masses of this country - I want the GUILTY person caught - because I can either accept that someone's potential innocence leaves a potentially guilty person walking free, or I can understand that jailing the wrong person (beyond our tax dollars going up), means the guilty ARE walking free!! BIG distinction. A chance and a risk I am willing to take,  is to allow someone freedom to represent their FULL innocence, so I can make sure that guilty person is still not walking around, unknown and free.
 
What does this have to do with Congress and intelligence agencies lying? They lie, and they use security officials, "intelligence" agencies to do so. One of the very first court cases (I forget the reference - I apologize) to occur following the institution of this act brought to light the fact that Congress declared hard disks inaccessible to defense experts at their place of business because they wanted to prevent the spread of such materials. However - as the Judge found out - NO such thing has ever occurred. And, he would not uphold a standard in his courtroom upon which lies predicated Congress' decision. You can read Dean Boland's technology blog to see for yourself additional violations of Congressional trust:
 
(2/26/09) "Although a study was released last month by the Internet Safety Technical Task Force that reported a safer Internet than parents and others had imagined. Nevertheless, two politicians from Texas, Jon Cornyn and Lamar Smith, have each filed in the senate and house, respectively, their own versions of the Internet Safety Act, otherwise known as Internet Stopping Adults Facilitating the Exploitation of Today's Youth Act."

So - hold up - the ISTTF reported the internet's quite safe these days. So, what did these other two politicians do? They promoted free wire-tapping and forcing ISP's to keep permanent IP records of everyone. The consequences? IP records DON'T identify a person (go ahead google that phrase and see what you find). However, based on false information that is being presented to Congress - stop - go back - re-read "FALSE INFORMATION" - Congress must pass a law. Based on the presentation of the FBI to Congress that there is a risk of data loss if hard drives are given to defense, forensic experts, Congress must pass a law. Where's the "two-sides," to these arguments? Where's the Constitutionality? Well.. on that matter... I digress. Because, what's important here is evidence that "intelligence" sources have and ARE continuing to misrepresent data to Congress, falsely, and are causing laws to be irrationally initiated. So, where does the President/ex-Senator fit in? Mr. Obama claims his place of infamy in the "Protect Our Children First Act," which expanded upon the Adam Walsh Acts I & II, and further supported DHS' continuing removal of children from homes - even where children were never harmed, were quite safe and happy - and placing them into homes where they are lost, afraid and oft times are raped or abused (and in rare instances murdered).

Did our President want this? No, I don't believe he did. I believe he thought he was doing what was right based on the false information presented to him by DHS and federal authorities (who compiled false data from local law enforcement agencies), that allowed him to stir up Congress and win a feather in his cap for future elections.

But, when Governments lie - we suffer. Now, Nancy Pelosi, who has tried to tell the American public that lies were presented to Congress and Congress acted upon false information, initiating extreme actions that are potentially harmful in every way with every grain of cruelty and abuse that is Anti-American and UnConstitutional, is facing losing her job, her career, her credibility and so much more. Ms. Pelosi is trying to tell people the truth - but when the little boy who cries wolf does it over and over again, soon, no one will believe them. Well, Ms. Pelosi, as much as I am NOT in support of you maintaining your position in politics (unless you have learned something and will begin to sing a different tune), I do believe you and feel for you. I believe you - because the facts are out there. But, Congress doesn't want to be defaced. Newt Gingrich is scrambling to cover his tail in the wake of publishing his new book. The President doesn't need another bad mark on his record. So - you're the fall guy (or, er, um.. gal.. hee hee). You're the whipping boy, the scapegoat... the bobo doll! You are - at the receiving end of all the wild and outrageous verbal commentary you threw out against the American people. 

But, I fear that no one else will believe you. People believe their televisions. The pendulum swings in one direction, then the other - people go from one extreme to the other, and it takes a while to come back and yet, the pendulum does not stop in the middle. I'm afraid that no one but I, will defend you right now - and I am fairly right wing (surprisingly.. hmm?). I'm afraid that no one will aide you but me, right now, because you've not won the popular vote. You've not convinced the sheep they're in trouble. The sheep go where they're told, and trust what they're told. The little boy who cried wolf is the same one who lead his sheep to the slaughter. And, Ms. Pelosi - the sheep who are ignoring the truth about what you're telling them - will be lead to the slaughter. THEY WILL SUFFER, because of what you've done and what is happening now. They will NOT see the wolf coming, nor will anyone come to their aide. What you are now faced with is the devastation that a few misplaced, mistimed and unweighed words will have on the lives of the American people. The "intelligence" agencies will continue to lie. Congress will continue to issue out outrageous and uncalculated laws. Congress will violate the very Constitution of this country to initiate a witch hunt in the traditional style of the late 17th century and innocents will burn. But, only those who are sitting in are awaiting our cages, so that we may be held underwater for an hour to see if we come up breathing and are truly the witch we're accused of being, know the truth. And, we've been quieted. Nobody reads our work. Nobody listens to us. We have been defamed under false pretenses so that we no longer interrupt the wolf's feeding session.

And, now you know how it feels. Sorry -wish I could do more. Wish I knew how. Not solely to protect you - but mainly to protect the people.

Waterboarding

Posted by CyberMom on Monday, May 18, 2009 1:54:30 PM
Waterboarding.. torture.. hmm...
 
Sure, it's wrong. Sure, it's justified. Sure it's... um, what?
 
Are we justified in resorting to the guerilla-style tactics of warfare to stop.. guerilla-style tactics of warfare? Are we better than our enemy if we act like our enemy?
 
Are we justified in defending ourselves when we commit the very acts which prompt our enemies to destroy us?
 
Yes - there is a rhyme and reason for terrorism. You may not agree. You may not like it. I don't. But, there is a purpose. They DO have an agenda, contrary to popular belief. Terrorists seek to harm others - creating 'terror' - because they have an agenda which justifies their actions. Whether it's religious, political or just hateful - it exists. Perhaps the Jihad are really out there to get us solely for religious reasons. In fact, if you read the article: Why do Muslims Hate us?, you can see some reasons (right or wrong), why extremists would want to destroy America. Does that give them a right? Most certainly not. They have NO more right to destroy us, than we do them! However, our current political atmosphere regarding "waterboarding," is 'get them before they get us!'
 
Whoa. WHOA! Hold up - this is the SAME premise that I've been arguing against the extreme power granted to law enforcement in America - which is "get them before they get us!" That is why there are over 1 MILLION innocent people in prison. That is why there are innocent people in THIS country - the country of 'freedom,' and 'democracy,' being tried, WHILE you read this, for crimes they did not commit. Predictive punishments. And, man - fear can cause us to do a lot of things. But, here's the catch - if you listen to talk show hosts like Dennis Miller, without having been a victim of 'waterboarding,' himself, he LOUDLY proclaims it as so menial that it doesn't qualify as torture. He claims to the people that we MUST protect ourselves and HATE those people who strap bombs to themselves to die.
 
Maybe he's right..... Maybe. I'm not in possession of any 'great' or superior knowledge that would prove to me he's right - OR - wrong. What I am in possession of though, are my mental faculties. Maybe, we should waterboard American citizens who 'look' scary because they're more likely to hurt someone if we don't confirm first, that they don't? Sound too extreme for an example? Well - how about this:
 
You torture someone to confirm that they are not going to plan an attack (whether you have "intel" supporting it or not). You expect an answer, correct? If they continue to say, "no," you continue to torture them. If they continue to say, "no," you continue to destroy their very soul. If they continue to say, "no," you bash and hurt and deprive and manipulate and control and deceive and damage until you get the TRUTH!
 
But, what is the truth? Is it, "no?" Because, if it is - you just falsely tortured an innocent person, destroying them in ways that no human being who has not suffered through massive pains, political pressures or torture could even possibly comprehend. What if they say, "yes," but the answer is really, "no?" Now - you've MANIFESTED an answer that doesn't exist. Maybe, you'd do well to read this article on torture: Star Trek Torture Episode. Maybe, just maybe, you might ask yourself - how far is too far. How much is too much? When is enough, enough? When are WE the enemy? Let's pretend for a moment, that the Jihad hate us because they believe - that if they don't stop us now, our soldiers, in THEIR country (notice that predicament?), are going to take over and destroy their way of life and harm them. Instead, we fight, we take prisoners and we torture them. Maybe the Jihad were wrong. Maybe they had no justified reason to hate us, and over time, they would learn that and we could all find peace. Or, just maybe, we have finally given them a REAL reason to hate us. Maybe we have just "justified" their fears. Just maybe... but are you willing to take that chance? Are you willing to make them so afraid and desperate that they will act irrationally? I'm not. I have a son. I do NOT want extremists to be pushed to the corners of fear that their only resolution is to come out swinging. Maybe they would still blow us up, someday. But, that's why we 'justify,' so much security in American borders, isn't it? Hmm...
 
Here's the problem - what if they ARE planning an attack and we COULD stop it? This is where shows like "24" have been carefully designed to convince the American populous that believe what comes through their idiot box to be assured of the fears the government wants to instill. We are shown that if we do not act predictively, we will suffer - our children will suffer. Really? Maybe so. Maybe if we don't torture every would be terrorist, extremist and person who's different from us, we are doomed! Of course, I'm not so sure that's the type of mentality that conforms to 'freedom.' Am I free if I live in fear? Am I free if I spend my time, my tax dollars and my life hunting ghosts? I thought "Homeland security," meant just that - homeland security. I thought that there were FBI in our air ports, police with excessive abuse authority, CIA and others who can freely monitor us because they were protecting us on the home front? In fact - weren't those folks there when 9-11 happened? Weren't those folks there when the Oklahoma bombing happened? Sure they were. Were they doing their jobs? YES!! Of course, the argument is that they didn't have the "freedom," they needed to do their jobs 'effectively.'
 
The freedom... to do their jobs... effectively?
 
You mean, the freedom to monitor ALL our communications. To watch us, look over us, control us, keep us locked down under the pretense of what appears to be... freedom. Oh sure - you radicals out there say things like, "Why don't you move to Iraq if you hate it here so bad - be thankful for what you have." But, YOU'RE the sheep. YOU'RE the one that voted for a President with a 3 trillion dollar budget - the majority of which goes to... MORE security. YOU'RE the one that has NEVER suffered, NEVER lost, NEVER been at the receiving end of the nightmare that is the so-called, "homeland" security. You can't see it. You can't know it. You can't even understand it - until it happens to you. Thes past two years I've met SO MANY people who are dumbfounded by the reality of what's taken place in my life. They can NOT believe that the legal system works the way it does. They can NOT believe the corruption. In fact - many of them have bore witness to it, through me, DIRECTLY - and yet, even with it in front of their OWN EYES - they can NOT understand HOW or WHY all of this is happening here in America!!
 
Move to Iraq? What a dumb response. I love America. I LOVE the principals upon which it was founded. My forefathers did NOT torture the English to see when and where they were attacking. My forefathers felt that it was time for a new, civilized society that protected itself the best it could, armed the common man even (not that I necessarily agree with that - and no - I don't own a gun myself), and believed in the ability of all peoples to seek freedom here. Were there extremists in their time? YES!! The Native Americans being raped of their land would raid forts and villages murdering and raping women and children! (No - that's not a blanket statement on ALL indians - only a commentary on the FEW who did it - just like the Jihad are not all against us - only the FEW who act upon it). There were soldiers and troops - people of THIS country who felt they had the right to do what they wanted in harm of others (ie. slavery), who raided and attacked innocents. This is NOT new. What IS new, is the 'civilized' America, resorting to uncivilized and monstrous actions in the name of FEAR. What's new are people so desensitized the brutal TORTURE of another human being, that they can somehow justify it.
 
Right or wrong, good or bad - I don't know. I'm not the final say on these matters. YOU are. YOU must think for yourself. But, if the torture of the Jihad, who hate us for infringing on their way of life (amongst other reasons), and feel they must get us before we get them, is justified under the premise that we must get them before they get us - what was so wrong about the torture of Jesus the Christ? Wasn't it the Jewish community that felt He was destroying their way of life? Weren't their actions of repeated ABUSE and torture predicated on the pretense that He must be stopped BEFORE He can derail their entire society? Weren't they trying to stop Him before He stopped them? What about Hitler? His generals (notice the distinction in WHOM at this point), tortured Jews because they felt the Jews were going to continue to derail and destroy their very society. Maybe, they were right. Maybe, if the Jewish community had continued unchecked, the Germany we know today would not be German, but Jewish, and the German lineage would be dead. So, a few extremists tortured the Jews to find out if they were planning an attack. Are you planning something? No. Are you going to raid our bases? No. Are you trying to undermine us? No. When is it okay? When must it stop? Are we NAZI Germany? Are we Crucifiers of the Lord? Are these fair comparisons, or are these too extreme for you? Do you justify torture under the pretense that you are caring for others? If so, why would you argue against the common person's right to bear arms, concealed and free. If it's their freedom and protection you're concerned about - in a proactive manner - why not permit everyone to keep guns? Then, they don't have to "wait" for the retroactive response by the police? In fact - you should support wire-tapping of everyone, cameras in everyone's homes, bathrooms, businesses, etc. That way - we can take the "extreme" act of torturing to the next level, and simply remove the "freedom," and privacy that was so "foolishly," Constitutionally invoked and simply protect everyone?
 
Or - are you acting upon a pretense told to you by the media and your government? Are you assuming because you've been lead to believe something? You see, I don't love America as it is now - I love America for what it SHOULD be. I LOVE this country for what it CAN be. But, a country is not a government. It is a people. And, it MUST be by the people that higher standards of living are demanded and supported. What do you believe America should be? Guerilla war tactics, torture and lies? Maybe if you believe that - YOU should move to Iraq - and live amongst those who believe that to be the foundation of their society - because it's NOT the foundation of THIS one!!
