Today or rather this morning – very early morning Central European Time – sometime after midnight in the cold and damp of Brussels we here at the Experiencing Belgium desk – actually just me – US ex-pat Matt – was catching up on some e-mail. Again one of those extra polite letters from MoveOn dot org… I wish there were some political organization with a bit more gusto or rather balls, big hairy low hanger bull balls, sending me strict e-mails of a Hells Angels variety on how to end the global tyranny of my homeland. Perhaps I should reconstruct the office of Experiencing Belgium to Hang_the_Corporate-O-cracy_at_Dawn dot com. I could send out e-mails warning about the blood bath soon to spill out of the White House and Capitol Hill famous front steps. The red blood of economic and greedy politicians staining those white marble steps bright red. I could write flaming words to encourage Americans to assert your right to bear arms and grab a Kalashnikov and head to DC for the 300 Million Machine Gun march to take back our country from the Military Industrial Complex and the men and women running it. Instead I have to settle for MoveOn dot org’s church lady like palliatives and sign another useless petition. John Hancock would be embarrassed by this process as am I. On the menu at MoveOn dot org today a polite word that in this context is woefully insufficient – censure. Censure – HA! Such a slap on the wrist nothing more… Here is my textual form of a big letter signature to please our dead nation builders - this text is my JOHN HANCOCK on the Bush II expulsion. The following is about wire tapping and censuring George Bush (oh yeah I forgot that annoying obligatory W).

Here is the document I signed and below is my big textual signature.

YOUR COMMENT TO CONGRESS

TO: Your Senators
CC: (Your Representative)
FROM: (Your Name and Email)
SUBJECT: Censure President Bush
__________

Dear Senators,

(Your personal note)

President Bush should be censured for breaking the law by illegally wiretapping American citizens.

When the president misleads the public and the Congress and willfully and repeatedly breaks the law, there need to be some consequences --that's how the law works for everybody else. Censuring the president is a reasonable first step in condemning his actions.

Sincerely,
(Your Name)
(Your Address)

Given that I live abroad and generally only phone home to North America and then only to speak to my Father or a few friends back in old Ohio - I assume a hand full of “intelligence” agencies listen in on my private Trans Atlantic phone calls. I believe the Bush II Administration is guilty of much more than this. Censure is too polite a word. Was Mussolini censured? He was hung out to dry on a wall with his wife for Corporatism and crimes against humanity. Politically speaking Italy hasn’t even yet recovered stability since the aftermath of the Mussolini regime. Take a lesson. To think we thought Clinton was a liar - compared to this Bush II administration and all the Democrats and Republicans who prop up this dictator and his administration - well - fornication in the Oval Office was just something to snicker about.

I do not want on my hands the blood of our service men and women, or the people of Iraq, or the suffering in US run detention centers around the world to be on my conscience and before my God. This government and nation is way out of bounds. What Eisenhower and Benjamin Franklin warned us about - despotism - has set in. It is time for house cleaning at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and within the Pentagon. We must take a stand against this as we did with the Crown ages ago for now it is a moral obligation upon every American citizen’s shoulders. We are now obligated to clean house and tax the corporations responsible for this mess to rebuild the nation so We the People can restore our government and aim toward Democracy with a clean conscience.

Our Republican and complicit Democrat leaders in support of the current administration are an insult to We the People - Just how stupid do you think We the People are? Just how much more do our criminal leaders think they can get away with at our national expense? Is the US going to be a sovereign Nation or privatized country club for a few corporations and their CEO’s at the expense of admirable and educated citizenry intent on building a great nation?

Let us re-examine our foreign policies with Korea, Viet-Nam, El Salvador, Nicaragua, and Colombia, Guatemala… Can our Republican and Democrat leaders please read up on our involvement with undermining Iran’s President Mossadegh in 1953. Now we have made Iraq of today where our policy seems to be to divide a nation along ethnic and religious lines to reduce its basic social fabric to non-existence to control Iraq’s assets for a few henchmen running our Corporate-ocracy back home. Would someone just tell us why the US Government is doing this? Why are we the American’s so brazenly acting beyond reasonable state and moral limits? Is it really only incessant greed that has destroyed a great experiment in Democracy? Would someone please tell me where I can return my US citizenship – I do not want to be a part of this criminality any longer…
