Way too many people seem to have an awful lot of faith in our government's good intentions. Where does that come from? Are they not counting the same lies that I am? Are they really unaware of the thievery and corruption? Can they not smell the stench of death?
As Americans, do we have an enormous tolerance for governmental lies wired into our psyches? Do they somehow get a 'we're the government' pass on any and all violations of the law or good conscience? Are we, nevertheless, always and forever going to give them the benefit of the doubt? No matter what outrageous lies they tell us? No matter how much they steal? No matter who they torture? No matter who or how many they kill?
Wikileaks has shown that our government and military form a 'vast lying machine' that perpetrates mass murder in our name."Try as I may I can not escape the sound of suffering. Perhaps as an old man I will accept suffering with insouciance. But not now; men in their prime, if they have convictions are tasked to act on them."
Julian Assange
Do you believe that it is in Americans' interest to allow a small group of U.S. leaders to unilaterally murder, maim, imprison and/or torture anyone they choose anywhere in the world, without the knowledge let alone oversight of their citizens or the international community? And, despite their proven record of failure to protect America -- from Indochina to Iran to Iraq -- do you believe they should be permitted to clandestinely expand their war-making without informed public debate? If so, you are betraying the principles upon which America was founded, endangering your nation, and displaying a distinctly "unamerican" subservience to unaccountable authority. But if you oppose autocratic power, you are called to support Wikileaks and others trying to limit U.S. Executive Branch mass murder abroad and failure to protect Americans at home.

It's time to quit accepting, defending or even embracing what these bastards have done and are doing still. It's time to stand up against these monsters. It's time to do the right thing.
