1. I'm not sure that impeachment is mainstream yet, but it's getting there
I've only just recently heard mention in the mainstream news or political talk shows of impeachment. At least now it's being mentioned out in the open.

2. This seems like a good time
to start throwing the people a bone. Impeaching, or talk of impeaching, titular figures will give the masses , who are starting to see the results of this phase more clearly, an effigy to burn, so to speak.

It is of course brilliant, and the timing is right. The people get to think that they are now accomplishing something big and important on their own. Heck, bloggers can pat themselves on the back and trumpet the powers of the Internets, by gosh! A staged lynching will help to distract from the larger and deeper aspects of larger, ingrained machine and its mechanisms. Someone should really make a board game based on the science of manipulating the masses, if they haven't already.

People easily believe that all the money and power in the World does NOT account for every nuance, phase, political cause and effect, and manipulate and control it every step of the way. Oh yeah, paranoia. It plays out like a movie script and people believe that all of the events, (even those who see the clockwork, expert manipulations of the MSM) are subject to much in the way of randomness, chance, or a real and grass-roots shift of "public opinion".

Mission accomplished, as Bushler would say. So, it is a win-win situation then. Impeachment is nothing more than a exit, stage-left, for the major players in the shop window. That is one option. There is also the next false-flag event that turns on the Orwellian Oz-head that has been signed into law over time. Place your bets.

Impeachment should hold off a lot of people until the next phase of this game comes into effect. Please don't tell me that the huge corporation called the United States Government leaves anything to chance or lacks the resources to play this out better than most of us could imagine. Of course, we can't imagine it because we don't know how much "reality" would be like modeling clay in our hands if we had billions of dollars and vast amounts of information, technology, and human resources to sculpt it as we see fit.

4. Let Freedom Ring...aint quite here yet but
...I gotta believe it is getting close. Regardless of how you or I felt about bush's Immigration Reform which got derailed last week, WE THE PEOPLE were against it! The majority of America was against bush and those in congress who supported him on this. They spoke out LOUDLY and for a brief moment, WE THE PEOPLE took back our government and ensured our wishes were followed. Once again WE THE PEOPLE are against something: The bush administration. If we push just a little harder, our collective will shall be done!

Um, excuse me General Washington, The Army at Valley Forge grows impatient! :patriot:
