Reply #4: it was this day 37 years ago

that I realized, this being the third major successful political assasination in a few short years, that nothing was as it seemed, that we were being ruled and manipulated by an amoral cabal who would stop at nothing, including murder, to acheive their goals and keep hold of their power.

For a period of time in the 80's and 90's the madness of this reality seemed to fade into the background. The world was more or less at peace, economic good times were here, and the demands of family and career drew my focus away from the gathering storm.

And then it was the stolen election of 2000. 9/11 and the horrible thought that this was LIHOP or MIHOP. The war. The endless terralerts. The dubious elections of 2002 and 2004. The suppression of independent media voices. The patriot act. Abu Ghraib. Gitmo. Rendition. The daily carnage of the endless war after the war.

We are back where we were in 1968. Only this time the cabal is much better organized.
