Democracy Doesn't Work
Author: Raine
Date: 11/05/2007 13:01:53
That is the message that our leading ally in the Waronterra ™ sent over the weekend when he placed his country under military rule.
He threw the constitutional powers in his nation in order to curb extremism. He said he had to suspend the courts because of *judicial activism*. (Does that phrase sound familiar?)
He is delaying the January elections in his country for at least a year. He pulled off the air all independent media.
He made it against the law to speak ill of him or his leaders. He has had arrested many of the leaders of the opposition parties.
Lawyers are being beaten by Pakastani police and hundreds have been arrested for voicing dissent.
All day long yesterday I walked around stunned at the collassal problem this poses for not just Pakastanis, but for the entire world. I thought about the fact that America uses Pakastani airspace to enter Afghanistan. I thought about the fact that Pakastan has a nuclear weapon. I thought about the saber rattling in Washington over Iran. I realized that what Pakistan has done to it's nation is the very thing that Bush has been worried about in Iran... and this is our ally.
My biggest concern right now is that our leader will take from this that democracy does not work. For him, this may be the very proof he needs. After all, we already have SO many parallels in Pakistan here in America, especially when you head the warnings given to us in her article, Fascist America, In 10 Easy Steps.....
1. Invoke a terrifying internal and external enemy
2. Create a gulag
3. Develop a thug caste
4. Set up an internal surveillance system
5. Harass citizens' groups
6. Engage in arbitrary detention and release
7. Target key individuals
8. Control the press
9. Dissent equals treason
10. Suspend the rule of law....
So today, pay close attention to how and what our leaders in Washington say and do. And pray that in Pakistan democracy will overcome military rule.
I am concerned about these events in Pakistan when here in America we have a president that has done all or to some lessor extent of the above. IF dissent is suppressed and Musharref is allowed to continue with military rule with our American support due to the Waronterra ™, Then I must truly wonder what this administration thinks of when it says that America is a nation that supports freedom and liberty for it's people and all the people around the world. It means we are in bed with the bad guys...
And for me the ends just do not justify the means.
:peace: and :heart:

Morning folks!
Well, the 'ol bloggie is looking pretty slick.
Here's to hoping we'll still be able to use it in the coming weeks and months.
If not, I suppose I'll see everyone at Gitmo. At least it's in the Caribbean and it will be warm during those long winter months of captivity and waterboarding. Hell, it's like swimming lessons, right?

Thousands battle and are arrested by Pakastani Police
Police fired tear gas and battered thousands of lawyers protesting President Gen. Pervez Musharraf's decision to impose emergency rule, as Western allies threatened to review aid to the troubled Muslim nation. More than 1,500 people have been arrested in 48 hours, and authorities put a stranglehold on independent media.

Good morning, bloggers!
Raine, I have not heard about our President. However, there are several good analysis articles that have run of late. (Check out the UNN Daily Headlines, which are taking shape for today, for some of the articles.)
Here is one blog entry that says a lot: Rice Adviser: Pakistan’s Crackdown on Dissent is ‘Small Favor’ That Makes ‘Iraq Look Pretty Good’.
It is all about the image, the money and the power for the Bush administrations and its allies. :(

Rice was in Istanbul, Turkey, attending an international conference on Iraq when her attention was shifted to the upheaval in Pakistan. One adviser traveling with Rice saw a silver lining in the rapid turn of events. "Thank heavens for small favors," the official said. Compared to Pakistan, "Iraq looks pretty good." ad_icon

A quick search for "Bush" on ye olde Google news reveals a few minimal articles.
Bush has been utterly incognito since this happened.
So, he's either pooped in his nappie at Barksdale AFB, or he's at the VP's knee furiously scribbling notes.
"See George....THAT'S how it's done!"

No Chris, there is a point.
STAND UP AND FIGHT!
There is no opposition anymore; this proves beyond the shadow of a doubt that this is nothing more than a rubber-stamp congress. Bush could do anything he wants and they would approve it.
Welcome to Fascism, everyone.
This was discussed at length on Friday's TRMS, in case anyone missed it.

Absolutley Tri! I've been saying this for so long now. I'm tired of the excuses.
Let him put in a nutjob recess appointment. At least then it would only be temporary. But, they would have stuck to their guns.
It's like the game has been changed to Cricket, but our "fearless leaders" are still trying to playing by Hockey Rules.

How about invoking the 26th amendment and removing Bush and Cheney on grounds of mental incompetence. Granted, it will be easier to prove for Bush. But, the executive branch is held by a bunch of sociopaths.

It's not too bad. . . but, the only difference in the Life Insurance for smokers vs. non-smokers. There is no "fatty fat pants" option, or "heavy drinker" option.

An interesting thing happened to ling this weekend:
Our Director's friend came to see the show for a 2nd time. This guy is absolutely brilliant, is a film director and "knows people." He is currently directing a film for the festival circuit, which my show's director is in. Ok, so I am standing outside chatting and he walks over and says "You should audition for 2nd City in Chicago."
I just laugh. . . Oh, Michael, you're a stitch!
Turns out he wasn't kidding. I know this because when we got to the bar afterwards he came over and said "You know? I wasn't kidding before. If you want to give a shot I can call some people and try to help you out. You've got talent. I wouldn't just say that."
And, he wouldn't. As much as I love the little old ladies who tell me how fabulous I was, they don't know the people that cast Saturday Night Live.

The Democrats need to act. If they do not, they may cause Democratic voters to stay at home next year - leading to more years of Republican misrule.

So, while I doubt this will work, I at least want to see a few people go on the record.

An interesting thing happened to
Our Director's friend came to see the show for a 2nd time. This guy is absolutely brilliant, is a film director and "knows people." He is currently directing a film for the festival circuit, which my show's director is in. Ok, so I am standing outside chatting and he walks over and says "You should audition for 2nd City in Chicago."
I just laugh. . . Oh, Michael, you're a stitch!
Turns out he wasn't kidding. I know this because when we got to the bar afterwards he came over and said "You know? I wasn't kidding before. If you want to give a shot I can call some people and try to help you out. You've got talent. I wouldn't just say that."
And, he wouldn't. As much as I love the little old ladies who tell me how fabulous I was, they don't know the people that cast Saturday Night Live.
OMIGOD! OMIGOD! OMIGOD!!!!!!! That's so GREAT!

They do have Internship Training Programs that they sometimes select people for, yes!
And, I've already been thinking that maybe I could do my current paying job, remotely from Chicago. There is really no reason for me to ever see anyone in person. All of my work is done on the computer. I rarely go to meetings, etc.

Reid has already said he will convene emergency sessions of congress to handle any recess appointments if Bush tries them.

Ah, what is it with these United States and our penchant for invading countries on the other side of the Earth, anyway?
The last time we were really and truly threatened by anyone was when Nazi U-Boats were sinking merchant shipping within sight of the Eastern Seaboard.
Hawaii wasn't even a state when Japan attacked; neither was Alaska, those could have gone either way.
I don't ignore the past; but I'm powerless to prevent us from repeating it, I guess.

Of course, we gave the Chagossians the right to self-determination (along with the Brits) when we decided we'd much rather have bombers than people out there.
.
In 1965, the Chagos Islands, which include Diego Garcia, were detached from Mauritius to form part of the British Indian Ocean Territories (BIOT). In 1966, the crown bought the islands and plantations, which had been under private ownership and which had not been profitable with the introduction of new oils and lubricants. In 1971, the plantations were closed because of the agreement between the United Kingdom and the United States to make Diego Garcia available to the U.S. as a military base. No payment was made as part of this arrangement, although it has been claimed that the United Kingdom received a US$14 million discount on the acquisition of Polaris missiles from the United States. This agreement also forbids any other economic activity on the island.
Until 1971, Diego Garcia had a native population of 2000 individuals , known as the Chagossians (or Ilois), which was composed of the descendants of East Indian workers and African slaves who had been brought to the island in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries to work on the coconut and copra plantations. They lived in three settlements: East Point (the main settlement on the eastern rim of the atoll), Minni Minni (2.75 mi or 4.5 km north of East Point), and Pointe Marianne (on the western rim). The islanders were forcibly depopulated to the Seychelles and then to Mauritius amid allegations of starvation and intimidation tactics by the U.S. and UK governments, including the alleged killing of island dogs by American soldiers. Ever since their expulsion, the Chagossians have continually asserted their right to return to Diego Garcia. In April 2006, 102 Chagossians were allowed to visit Diego Garcia for a week, to tend to graves and visit their birthplaces.

UPDATE, 2:20 P.M.: Confusion: Jon Stewart's rep just called back to deny the information above. I checked back with my source, who set me straight on a few details: Stewart is not paying writers out of his own pocket, but through Busboy, his production company. And it's not just writers who are getting their salaries covered but all the shows' employees. "He's hoping that it wraps up amicably and quickly, and over the course of that time he wants to look out for his employees," he says.
But when I ran this by Stewart's rep, he emailed back, "While I hesitate to knock down every rumor that comes up, the assertion that Jon and/or Busboy Productions will be paying for the staff is false and we have no further comment beyond this at this time."

"I would be very surprised if anyone wants [President Bush] to ignore or set aside our concerns about terrorism," Secretary Rice said shortly after Musharraf declared a state of emergency Saturday. A White House spokesman had a similar comment: "We're obviously not going to do anything that will undermine the war on terror," said Gordon Johndroe.

Ah, that's not what worries me. It's the "Nazification" of Germany in the months and years afterward that is really chilling. We've already started down that road with the declaring of a state enemy, demonization of gays, misogony towards women (in the Reich, women had one purpose; make babies for the Fatherland), state control of the media(Hitler had his newspaper, Bush has Fox), and an ever-accelerating erosion of basic civil liberties.
How long will it be before gays can no longer be employed by the state? That's how it all started, the first of the edicts against the Jews was removing them from the government. We're not that far away.

Raine, you should be able to catch the Rangers tonight and tomorrow night on Versus since they are televising the next two games. Since you have Comcast which owns the channel, you should be getting. They have a channel locator on their web site.

LEt me make something clear here, when Lincoln did what he did during the civil war, wasn't that AFTER CONGRESS declared war?????
Comment by livingonli on 11/05/2007 21:52:08
I believe so, and let's not forget there's been no formal declaration of war. The last one was in December, 1941.

We're plugging Goldwater/Miller '08. You would think it would get us some recognition especially now that Colbert's candidacy has fizzled out.

I would absolutely love to finally meet all of you crazy heads!
It will be contigent on Theater. I seem to always be in production when you guys get together. And, my beloved theater ( i've got several ) but my favorite might be doing "Closer." And, I have been offered the role if it comes together. . . couldn't pass that up! It's a great script.
Wow...probably more than you needed to know.
What are the dates? I do have some pull regarding the rehearsal/performance schedule.

Three crucial members of the Senate Judiciary Committee said this weekend
they would back the nomination of Attorney General hopeful Michael Mukasey
despite his refusal to condemn waterboarding as a form of torture. Henri
Alleg, an 86-year-old journalist subjected to waterboarding by French troops
during the war for Algerian independence, says no civilized country should

I think we are still in the early planning stages, but it is looking like it might be around the Cherry blossom fest.
However... Tri has mentioned that he was planning on going during the lil tri's spring break, which is a week later... And then we still have time to see what kind of protesting might be happening...
