We've got the Truth

Great letter I had to share:

"The Day After," the title of a movie on the scourge of Nuclear War, was November 6th when I awoke to face the engorgement of the "members" of Congress with the blood of the electorate. Republican, Democrat, what does it matter? What matters is Truth. What matters is Falsehood. And what matters is that lies cannot prevail. What matters is that there is no "mandate" that can hide greed, fraud, thievery, and plain, old garden variety cowardice. The Day After the grand display of whose missile is bigger than whose in the White House, the only thing that will stand erect in the light of day is the Truth. And David Cogswell the people have Truth on their side. With one voice we have only to continue to tell it. We have only to speak sanity in the face of madness. War is peace. Huh? Freedom of speech, assembly, dissent, is an acceptable casualty of the war on terror. No. A bear market is really bullish. Hell no. On The Day After I looked to you for encouragement and heard you reaching out to your readers for the same. We may have sustained a blow that stunned us a bit, but I want you to know that I am back (and I'm black). I depend on your words to help sustain my fire for justice. Liberation. Decency. You express what I think. I need you to do that. So I'm letting you know that I am standing strong on The Day After. Count me in. I am a One, not a zero. Count me as capital in a capitalist revolution. We, the people put the capital in capitalism. Without us capitalism comes to a screeching halt. The capitalists are more aware of that than we are. We must make sure that every man, woman, and child gets that message. Poor? No, we're rich. Powerless? I beg to differ. Confused...yes, and for good reason. The Fear Agenda of a huge propaganda machine has pummeled many into identifying with the bully Bush Agenda in hopes that they will be spared its draconian side affects. (Not to mention be able to duck a missile or two.) But they won't be. Stockholders, corporate lackeys and the like are finding that Whiteness and good English cannot resurrect fallen stock portfolios. They are being treated like "Guess who's coming to dinner" by the greedy moguls who dumped the stock they still hold and can now use for toilet paper. They haven't figured out who the new "Niggers" are.

It's the third world terrorists who have broken the barriers of race as long as they could negotiate oil and drugs in the rarefied petro-air of dollars that make Bill Gates wealth look like profit from a paper route. The Bin Laden and Bush families speak the same language. The Bin Ladens were escorted out of the country to safety by our government after 9-ll. The Bin Ladens and the Bushes eat at the same table. The Carlysle Group. Meanwhile, the American people have yet to hear the story of the greatest security breach in U.S. history, 9/ll. Why wasn't standard operating procedure to waylay the planes as soon as they strayed off course followed? Why did it take an hour and twenty minutes for the U.S. the respond to the attack. Who gave the order to subvert S.O.P.? The minions who do not dine at the emperor's orgy with big oil do not have the power to call off an action that would have saved thousands of lives.

To UPI: You want tips?

Here's a tip. Stop promoting Colin Powell as a dove. Stop propping up democrats who do not represent the voice of dissent in this country. The call for peace and non-nuclear proliferation is made by people who are not fooled by the Bush Orwellian Nuspeak: (War is peace.) We are not impressed by the Sadaam is the bogeyman bedtime story for Bonzo. I dare your news organization to put a microphone to the real voice of sanity in this country. You dare not publish anything that has not passed muster from your corporate office. You are not media. You are a mouthpiece for the coup against democracy and freedom of speech. Beware that you do not fall victim to the Empire of Bush-shit that you refuse to challenge. It is bad for your mental health. War is not peace. Bush is not an emperor. And we the people are not buying what your so-called gutless leaders are selling.
