I guess you can't arrest mass murderers if they are popular politicians.

[Philosoraptor]

If any one of us had done what our elected republic officials are guilty of having done, we'd be behind bars ALREADY. But the fact that these men wear expensive suits and are well connected in our government gives them apparent immunity from any prosecution.

It happens all the time, we see criminals as shoddy, shabby, drugged up individuals who deserve to be in prison, but we don't look upon white collar criminals that way, we automatically assume anyone who is well connected and has a limo and driver couldn't possibly be guilty of war crimes or crimes against the state.

We have about 200 or so maniac politicians who are getting away with the most criminal acts of treason and piracy ever perpetrated on us, yet we let them continue unabated because they are well known, well connected, well dressed people.

A simple mind trick is being played on us all, we are supposed to just let these fuckers do what they will, take all they can, and then just walk off and retire in splendor, untouched by justice or rule of law.

And when they do all get off Scott free for their atrocities, and they go on speaking tours and book promotion tours, we'll all look the other way because these men are elected officials, respectable men all, they are above the laws that we surfs must obey or be punished for. henry kissinger has made a lifelong career out of it, and he still walks among us, a free and respected man.

1. Clever sociopaths make the laws, not break them.

Politicians and corporate America have linked together in a way
that would make the mafia proud.

3. Sometimes I wonder if the mafia is not somehow involved here

with the bfee's connection to hitler for starters

4. You have to wonder don't you?

Except the mafia had more honor than BushCo.

SOLDIER (Eric Idle): "Here is better than home, eh, sir? I mean, at home if you kill someone they arrest you, here they'll give you a gun and show you what to do, sir. I mean, I killed fifteen of those buggers. Now, at home they'd hang me, here they'll give me a fucking medal, sir."
