13. treason based moment
Thu Nov 7, 2013, 09:29 AM
Nov 2013

From my view after reading Al Gore’s book “Assault on Reason” gave me a another opinion about government and the people in it. To be honest I was not as cynical as Vice President Gore at the time. Now, looking at the basic Wiki definition is a total honest reflection on how I feel.

Wiki says:

“In the book, Gore argues that there is a trend in U.S. politics toward ignoring facts and analysis when making policy decisions. He heavily criticizes the George W. Bush administration for its actions in furthering the "assault on reason", and also the Congress, the judiciary, and the press for being complicit in the process.”

He was before his time according to Wikipedia. Now I not only agree with much of what his theme enhances what used to be the conspiracy notion about Bush/Cheney now is transforming to a real action premeditated planned totally orchestrated plot that arranged to hold the doors open for nineteen Arabs and one Egyptian to successfully commit an historical terrorist action.

Here NSA likely is what the current political and corporate people are talking about as the key players connected in that historic free market treason based moment.

We find out that the Bin Laden family primary investors in Booze Allen, key contractors to NSA with direct connections to the Bush family as business partners for decades has a rich flavor of treason beyond anything recorded in world history.

Of course Morning Joe on MSNBC through the years along with Rush Limbaugh also have the bull horn lies and deception with the deep pockets to avoid mainstream media disgrace that should be exposed. But know if you are the family that is connected to such a tragedy you would do anything including deception assassination and murder to avoid being caught. Snowden knows this and would be a fool to leave his sanctuary.

If this is all true, and the Russians give sanctuary to this Lone Ranger the American citizen will witness how the Russians might be able to either help Democracy or destroy it in America. I say they help it.

He's giving his opinion. That's not a lie. Without specifics, though, it's just an opinion. randome Nov 2013 #43
