the battle lines are drawn..

Just taking today's news reports, we see that the battle for the spirit and soul of the US is now begun. In no particular order:

• the Senate Intel Committee releases more of its Phase 2 report showing no connection between Al Qaeda and Iraq, yet all of the major Bushco players go on TV and say that while not reading the report they still hold the view that there was definitely a connection. They are lying to us because they can.

• the supposed re-edit of the ABC 9/11 film didn't happen, merely deflected pressure until it could be released in NZ and AU earlier today. Same problem scenes are still in it; thus demonstrating that they never had any intention other than to insure that furthering the propaganda initiatives of Bushco is first and foremost their role.

• the RNCC arm of the GOP officially acknowledges that they will spend all of the money on negative personal attacks to insure they continue their control of Congress at all costs. Lies and threats are to be the tools by which they will demonstrate their deserving of the honor of staying in power. Essentially they will lie and distort to achieve their goals, because they are unwilling to stand on their own record.

We are in deep deep trouble.
