The Cult of Insidious Assholes
By Karl Schwarz
The military have a phrase for it: FUBAR (F***ed Up Beyond All Recognition)
That is not a diagnosis; it is the end product and net effect of the disease, and FUBAR has set in all across America, it is now structural to our baseline systems. This disease is a malignant cancer that is eating the heart and soul out of America.
That "AAA" is not an official acronym yet for any federal agency I know of, but give them enough time and they will make it one. It will most likely really stand for American Assholes Anonymous, sort of a recovery place where the high and mighty go to figure out why they were neither high nor mighty and why they're going to a special place in Hell.
If you watch closely what they do, other words come up that better describe what their true "governmental function" is at all those DC-centered Alphabet Agencies. They are all part of the official agenda that does not include the welfare of you or any other normal American citizen. It does not matter whether it is US hegemony and imperialism abroad or outright fascist belligerence towards Americans at home (like Bush signing off on FISA) and undermining everything that was once great and honorable about America. They are all part of the problem, not a solution to anything.
To wit:
The CIA, The Central Intelligence Agency, aka: The Cult of Insidious Assholes.
If you have ever seen the movie Three Days of the Condor, that are some memorable lines about our CIA.
"What are Americans going to do when they don't have oil? What are people who have never known hunger going to do when they have no food?"
"Ask them."
"Not now, then! They will not care, all they will want us to do is get it for them."
"Man, have you found a home. What is with you people? You think not getting caught in a lie is the same as telling the truth."
Indeed, lying has not only become an expected part of government 'ethics' but it is also now a bedrock layer under most all of our civilian and business social commerce; it has become structural to our entire national fabric. Lying directly, lying by omission, or 'spinning' (lying) over everything you can imagine is now the norm.
