Booth, Guiteau, Czolgosz, Oswald. Losers each and everyone. Their lack of original thinking made them infamous for being irrelevant. Their brash uninspired actions earned the causes they represented the ire of a nation. Their victims became canonized (for untold generations in some cases) by the deed meant to destroy them. The names of these lonely men of history are to some complete unknowns, to others they are vague memories of term papers and the taste of a dry mouth that has fed on only coffee for more then a day, to misguided fools they are names of power, and to those of learning these are tragic examples of what happens when fools fall in love with causes.
Those of you who have Googled the names or are simply history geeks like me are probably pretty unnerved at seeing them at the head of a blog written by a professed militant radical who constantly makes references to seeing certain powerful traitors swing for their crimes. It just shows how many uninspired thinkers are out there trying to be socially responsible in a democratic society and failing miserably. I would not nor would I recommend anyone else do Bush the honor of granting him martyrdom. Whether it be before the Congress or the Hague he will be dealt with. I prefer we deal with him here. I don't know if they have a death penalty in the world court but I do know that you get your neck stretched round these parts for Treason during a Time of War. There's your legacy: First President hung for Treason.
My hope is that justice will be done to this administration and its enablers be they Democrat or Republican. My mission is to shed as much light on the crimes for which justice must be served and equally upon those who are failing to serve them with the bitter meal they deserve. I also seek to maintain readiness for the seemingly eminent threat of civil conflict. It may come from the collapse of our debt based economy or from an attempted corporate backed power grab from Shrub and friends but its on its way. This latter mission and the ways in which I promote it seem to have given the impression that I have the backing of a quasi-militia. This is wrong, I am but one man and a little over a week ago I surrendered my sword to a Military Police Officer in the Oregon Army National Guard until such time as he feels we would be on the same side of the barricades. This is because all one person can do is harm. It takes a community to do good. I have accepted sacrifices none of which please me but know this Freedom Loving Americans never in my darkest teary eyed moments did I ever consider joining history's lonely men's club.
On a lighter note: this Friday I will be using the Multnomah County Eviction Court as a political forum. If you are in the Portland area come down to 1021 sw 4th ave room 120 at 0900 where I will raise the tone of the usually Jerry Springer style eviction court by arguing that if the Supreme Court has ruled that money is political free speech then debt is equally protected political speech. Let them tell me that squatting and overdrawing my bank account is any different then occupying a nation and deficit spending. Let's see them do that with a straight face.
