"Ich bin ein auslander", translated to mean I am a foreigner in my own country.
I've felt like a foreigner in my own country for such a long, long time now. In fact, I don't even know my nation of birth some 55 years ago on Wednesday, December 19, 2007 anymore( which incidentally is also my first anniversary of making TU here on Dkos. Make all checks payable to...no, just kidding!) And I fear for the survival of our republic in ways that I've never felt before, unable to shake this gut-wrenching feeling that something most terrible is in the offing for us all. Anyway, everybody here seems to be more than just a little bit uneasy about the awful state of our union under the auspices of the newly-elected 110th Congress and their apparent total capitulation and surrender to Mister Bush.
Last night, I happened upon some rare and never-before or at the very least suppressed publicized videos of his speeches on YouTube, that I wished to share with everyone today, if I may be permitted the lattitude under the fold...
There's been an inundation of diaries here lately trying to make some logical sense at all out of all of the untoward, "by the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes, open locks for whomever knocks" syndrome.
Well, last night I was surfing the web of old Bush speeches trying to look into the mind of Mister Bush, which should be an easy read, seeing it is such a short book from one with such a meager IQ of, I'm yawning too now, by the latest guesstimates of only 87 and dropping faster than his (and Congress') approval rating.
Please carefully watch them, chew them up, and swallow them, as the bitter pills they are.
I trust that upon drawing your own conclusions, as I'm quite sure, and I rest in the comfort of knowing that most all of you will find some solace in the fact that if you too, don't understand what's happening to America, right now under our very noses everyday, by this war criminal and treasonous cabal of constitution-usurpers and Bill of Rights-stomping legions of new world order minions, that you are not alone in your consternation and grief.
It seems that ever since 9/11, our own government has indeed become the very monsters that we have feared the most, domestic terrorism being our greatest national security threat, not some bearded old anti-Soviet, ex-CIA operative living in the mountains of Pakistan.
The building of internment camps by Halliburton since 2006, can only be meant for us.
The gutting of the Bill of Rights, habeas corpus, extraordinary renditioning, torture, and domestic warrantless surveillance can only be meant for us.
There can only be one logical conclusion and determination that the ensuing establishment of a police state can only be meant for us, not to protect us as we once thought, but meant instead to subjugate!
Our Constitution and Congress, for all practical purposes couldn't have been more mortally-wounded by this Bush/Cheney regime, nor more effectively marginalized and countermanded, than if they had literally lined them all against the wall and executed them!
De facto coup d'etat, is just as vile as the accomplished act, and just as fatal in its finality of purpose.
Please watch these videos and render your take on them below. I dare say that you will be held spellbound, as I was, and no doubt frightened beyond measure at these startling new revelations, as I was, and am:
