2. The revelations of the last 46 years seem to be coming to a peak of knowledge. The evidence has
been gathered. Those of us who have been told this - this being the words of President Dwight Eisenhower - are now seeing it played out. The truth hurts. The most hurtful in retrospect is what was done to us when we were children and is still being done to children - teaching them to love their country for all the reasons drilled into us, including the pledge and the salute. The pledge and salute to our duties, the sacrifices, and the military and endless wars.

No one taught us that we are full of secret societies that ran the show. The societies who decide our destinies while we think our country operates under the plan of balance with the emphasis on of, for, and by the people, separation of church and state, vote to get the people in office that we want and out when we are not satisfied. Always accompanied with coaching to be a good sport when our person lost.

Now the pain is in the details. Day by day we see THEIR plan unfolding. THEIR PLAN FOR US - NOT OUR PLAN FOR THEM. Secret councils, societies, foundations, corporations, think tanks, lobbyists, and multi-national behind the curtain executors.

In this century we have gone from day to day with our mouth dropping from signing statements, executive orders, broken treaties, invasions, torture, secret prisons, rendition, new interpretations of laws, sneaky wording snuck into legislation, approving arsenic, endless suicides – from farmers in India, to political mysteries, to bio-chemists – to simple soldiers to people trapped at the top of a tower, exiles, phosphorus, private military, slaughtering, destruction. The chutzpa to invade another country.

We lie, cheat, steal, kill, torture, delude, flip the country and we go on teaching the children what a great country this is. We are supposed to love the idea of creating a work force with the pay of a third world country so that there will be equanimity of pay so that the barons can make more money and our voice will shrink to nothing.

Now I cannot name them because my brain froze from the shock – but Obama has done three things in the last five days that are mind boggling – wrong, wrong, wrong.

And this is what I find for myself – they hurt a million times more than the dictums coming from Cheney-Bush because they go beyond where we left off with Cheney-Bush.

We are supposed to be repealing – not piling on. The pain is real.

We are transitioning from what to what?
