An Open Letter to America

An Open Letter To America
From Robert McDougall - Canadian

To The Washington Post

Dear America:

And so it has come to this. Your once great nation has
fallen into madness,
an affliction of mass denial that brings shivers up
the spines of millions
outside your borders. Yours is a sick nation. But most
of you carry on as
though nothing at all is the matter.

Dark, evil operations run rampant in the secret
corners of your government
institutions. An illegally constituted government
pursues war at will
anywhere on earth, discussing nuclear options that
become points for cheerful
chatter over lunch. Your military and intelligence
agencies employ terrorist
tactics around the globe even as they insist that such
tactics are necessary
in the fight against terrorism.

You have become a nation of monsters, America.
Hypocrites. Murderers. Fools.

Your constitution is a shambles thanks to national
security measures
resulting from what might well be
U.S.-government-sponsored terrorist attacks
in New York City and Washington D.C., covert
provocations designed to justify
a malevolent, poisonous, oil-based military economy.

Never mind that earth-friendly technology already
exists to once and for all
end dependence on oil, coal and nuclear energy from
huge, out-of-control
utilities and corporations. You would rather pay
through the nose for your
insecure comforts, wouldn't you America, and make
others pay with their
blood.

At the same time, you stand by as the Israel's secular
Zionists, whom you
support through the supply of arms and money --
slaughter untold numbers of
innocents in the West Bank, then blame the
Palestinians for bringing the
terror upon them selves. True, there are terrible Arab
suicide bombers in
Israel?s midst. But are they not driven to madness and
desperation by your
infernal support of international terrorist politics?

As I write these words, you support a nation run by a
convicted murderer who
with impunity is carrying out war crimes as cruel and
horrendous as those of
other sadistic tyrants in history. And you say, in
your utter cynicism, when
will these Palestinians bring this war to an end?

You recklessly wage combat on other fronts, too. At
home, your War on Drugs
is a disastrous 30-year folly -- a gigantic con game
designed to benefit
lethal cartels, corrupt politicians and menacing
intelligence agencies across
the planet.

Meanwhile, military tanker jets daily spray massive
quantities of unknown
chemicals into the skies above your cities without
your population?s consent,
and most of you do not even have the wherewithal to
look up. Those who do and
who voice their outrage hear only a deafening silence
from your congress and
your tax-supported health agencies. Some Americans
have too active
imaginations, yes? Best treat them with mind-numbing
prescription drugs, and
try to forget that the awful side effects number in
the thousands.

Indeed, those who your government appoints to oversee
your safety and
security laugh in your faces. With your government?s
support, crooked
multinationals like Monsanto buy up the world?s water
supplies, and take
possession of the world?s vegetation through
Frankenstein technology already
known to cause illness.

Does the FDA care about any of this? Hell no. It's
long been on the bandwagon
to foist genetically altered food on the Guinea Pigs
of the country --
including every man, woman and child on America?s
increasingly toxic soil.

You are a nation of suckers, America, to be bled dry
of your hard-earned pay
through outrageous bank schemes, Wall Street rip offs
and fake government
budget grabs. Your Pentagon cannot account for
trillions in lost dollars.
Does this bother you? Not in the least.

Your whole economy is controlled by what is for the
most part ravenous,
international private banking interests in the form of
The Federal Reserve,
which with your government?s consent leads you down
the garden path to
irrecoverable debt and certain financial ruin.

Is this worth thinking about? When's the football game
on?

These very same money men are the ones who, through
unmonitored and
unrepresentative world committees, are driving
countries like Argentina into
hopeless debt and social upheaval. These greedy
overlords are creating strife
and suffering on a scale too tragic for words in
nation after nation. Just
look at Africa.

They've got their sites on America, now, too;
disrupting economic stability
through so-called free trade initiatives and
provisions for special favors
and the endless flow of cash to corporate
monstrosities like Enron.

For the most part, your congressional representatives
are nothing but swine
gathering at the corporate troughs. Your president is
a creep and a thug, a
hypocrite who through his actions celebrates war,
repression and greed even
as he gives lip service to peace, freedom and justice.


George W. Bush hoodwinks you daily, the coward hiding
behind a phony
patriotism. He is an Enron buddy boy, a spoiled child
lying in his teeth
about his past and current dirty deeds. Does he care
about you America?
Hardly. This is altogether obvious to those outside
your borders who are
politically aware and awake to the world around them.

You were never concerned about the disgraceful
practices of George's ruthless
father, either, a Bin-Laden cohort and friend to
criminals and killers in
global drug, oil and terrorist enterprises. Iran.
Vietnam. El Salvador.
Chile. Guatemala. Iraq. And on and on. The
never-ending bully-boy story of
blood, guns, drugs and money.

Does any of this matter? Not really. Go get your
ten-billionth burger
America. Fatten your already fat asses with
bacteria-and-hormone-ridden meat
and do nothing as you sit stupefied before your
mind-numbing television sets
awaiting the next episode of sad families being
humiliated on Cops.

Few among you are the least bit concerned that no real
investigation of 911
has taken place, that no serious investigation of the
anthrax attacks is
moving forward, that no authentic investigation of
Enron, or the murder of
one of its top executives, is underway.

How many of you give the slightest damn about the
totalitarian measures your
government is taking to keep its secret meetings,
grubby files and treasonous
activities from your eyes? You look the other way as
your own honest citizens
rise up against those within your nation who gassed
innocent children to
death at Wako, hid evidence in the TWA 800 air
disaster and rubbed elbows
with foreign terrorists in Oklahoma City.

When did you stop caring America? Was it after your
own CIA and FBI plotted
the murder of President John F. Kennedy? Or is this
just the raving lunacy of
the conspiracy nut? What does your gut tell you
America? Is something a
little amiss here?

Forget about it. Have some Pepto-Bismal.

Today, in futility, your own government goes to court
against itself for
information you are entitled to by law. But this is
hardly deemed vital news
in the community. It is a fleeting reference in an
electronic sea of
meaningless banter. For proof, just look to all the
spineless whores who
constitute your mainstream news media.

Today, you excoriate, ridicule and ostracize the brave
and true among you.
Your best investigative journalists are fired from
their jobs and ignored.
Congress?s few courageous souls are laughed at and
dismissed out of hand. The
most honest and conscientious political leader in the
country, Ralph Nader,
is a powerless, near invisible curiosity easily
side-lined by hired goons.

America, you are a goddamn shame.

What law matters now in your despicable state? What
justice? What truth? When
will you wake up? If you had your druthers, you would
right now gather your
courage, take to the streets and march on Washington
D.C in the millions. But
I know you will do no such thing. The vast majority of
you are spiritually,
emotionally and intellectually dead.

You consume. You eat. You shit. And that's just about
it.

As I write these words in Spring of 2002, I can only
imagine what additional
horrors your shadow government might be planning in
what will surely be an
attempt to justify militarism and totalitarianism on a
universal scale. A
nuclear explosion in one of your cities perhaps? A
massive bio-chemical
attack?

Or perhaps it will be some Arab terrorist who does the
great and terrible
deed, his last thought before death being the promises
you made to him before
killing his family.


Sincerely,
