So Im going to surprise all of you by voicing my support for the use of these new non-lethal weapons on american citizens. I mean as a person who expects to be at the head of the mob during the historic election day riots of 2008, when citizens show up to vote and learn that the current administration has canceled the elections in the interest of national security and they have been re-scheduled for a time when the terrorists have been subdued, and in the meantime Cheney, Rumsfeld and Rove will be taking temporary national control. or the historic post election day riots which will occur when the population realizes that for the third presidential election in a row the republicans through systematic disenfranchisement of minorities in key states has stolen the third election. See in the previous two elections the country was evenly split enough that they needed to only manipulate results in a single swing state each time. But in 2008 the situation will be such that they will need wholesale election tampering to avoid being voted out of office in a landslide. Or I shall be at the head of the historic inauguration day riots of 2009 when the newly elected democratic president is assassinated by "terrorists" and the current administration announces that they will stay in power until security is restored. Now I know a lot of you are thinking oh that crazy paranoid chris and I admit that these three scenarios do seem to spring from some dark Orwellian nightmare but I promise you they are not as far fetched as they seem at first glance. I mean we are living under a government that has announced its intention to test non-lethal weapons on the citizenry. And they didn't say we are happy to announce that we have developed new non-lethal weapons which will, in the unfortunate event of the need to use them, save lives. no they are doing it in case the weapons are more dangerous than they think and if they accidentally hurt american citizens only americans will mind and then they can just hit those americans with non-lethal weapons. "If we're not willing to use it here against our fellow citizens, then we should not be willing to use it in a wartime situation," I have to admit I like this sentiment, but thats because I am a pacifist bleeding heart liberal who doesn't think we should use weapons at all if it is in anyway avoidable. but then again I don't object to us having dropped the Bomb on Japan. Well I do but not because it was Nuclear but because it was a bomb. but thats another story entirely. Here I am concerned with the use of weapons in the current context. he goes on to say "(Because) if I hit somebody with a nonlethal weapon and they claim that it injured them in a way that was not intended, I think that I would be vilified in the world press." which is one of the most fabulous statements of illogic and lack of common sense or faith in the common sense of others I have ever heard. He is saying that someone will be angry because they were injured by a non-lethal weapon instead of lethalled by a lethal one. but aye there's the rub. You kill someone and they don't complain. sure there might be some weeping widow or babbling little kid but they are so hysterical who can ever understand what they are carrying on about anyways. But really he's not talking about using these weapons on the people they would kill otherwise he's talking about using them on the people they would not kill otherwise, he's talking about using these weapons on the weeping widows and babbling children who come swarming after they kill someone. What really disturbs me is that they expect a situation to arise such that it would be appropriate and necessary to use these weapons on american citizens. They say use them for crowd control but these are not a method to get people in and out of the superbowl efficiently they are a method to subdue rioters, they are preparing for a general uprising, for civil unrest. and I for one think we should give it to them before they are fully ready. I mean they have dropped us so many hints of their plans, and now they are letting us know that they are ready for our reaction when they establish martial law, its time to take a cue from these bastards and make a pre-emptive strike. So I was thinking about posting this to Daily KOS as I set up an account to publish these things to the wider world as a first step to this grand scheme you have all cooked up for me, and now that I have started to call for violence against the government I am thinking I should not put it on the internet. I mean there are lots of people calling for the violent over throw of the US government on the internet but most of them are non-americans and Im betting even fewer of them are considering politics as a possible future. Not that I have any plans to run for congress or anything but you know I might... so I am going to retract the earlier statements and say that they were made in the heat of the moment, or in jest, they were made as hyperbole to emphasise the dire circumstances of the moment. so what I'll do is Ill wait for them to make their move, and then once they have attempted to seize power outside the proper electoral system set up in the constitution, oh wait they did that already, ok well once they start openly defying the guidelines set forth by the constitution and supreme court... oh ok so they are doing that already, well once they start arresting us citizens and disappearing them into military holding and denying them access to lawyers and due process, oh ok so they are doing that too. well lets see there has to be some line they have not crossed yet that would signal that they have moved being the proper government of the United States to a rogue neo-fascist power hungry oligarchy, such that I will be able to answer that all important question: "Have you ever advocated the violent overthrow of the United States Government?" with the NO that everyone seems to think is the correct answer. well I say in this topsy turvy world there are no correct answers, there are only those things you do and those things you don't do, and when the thugs come kicking in your door at 3am for having gotten this email just remember I warned you.

Hilarious. Reading this crap only makes me wonder if people are trying to incite some shit. We will have an election in 2008, and it will be the same horseshit candidates we get from the two parties to choose from, as no independent candidate will ever get the chance to debate either of the douchebags from either party. What I advocate, is people to abstain from voting. By voting you are only supporting the status quo. Voting third party is a waste of time, but might send the statement that you're willing to throw your vote away than vote for either douchebag from either party. I have YET to see a candidate from either party worth a fiddler's damn to vote for. All they want to do is rail on the other guy and tell you how bad they are, instead of telling you what the fuck they're going to do if elected. The truth is, the people who get elected don't do a fucking thing for the people they represent. The only reason they're in office is to collect money and graft from their supporters who pay them to do what they can do for their corporate sponsors. When a candidate gets into office and he does the people's business, he doesn't last long, because the people don't mean shit to the corporations who own this country. I suggest everyone watch the movie "Network". The speech that Ned Beatty gives to the televangelist newscaster is amazing, and so incredibly timely it's not even funny. The truth is, there is no America. There is no Russia. There's only corporations who own and run the world. The idea of sovereignty, integrity, or nationality is meaningless so long as the business world runs and owns the world.

I love the poll.
