Democracy Needs the Wagging Tongue

by Connie Schultz

Whenever somebody tries to ban talk of politics at get-togethers, it's all I can do to suppress a groan.

What could be better fodder for lively discussion than our relationship with our country?

True, I speak a very powerful form of truth because I speak of the hijacking of this Countries Presidency from Nov. 22 1963 to the present. The facts speak for themselves to all who choose to open their eyes and see the lies told, and sold, by the complicate Corporate Media. Lies totally debunked by the truthful statements of credible eyewitness at the time. The fact is that this Country was traveling a track of dynamic social change in the 1960's with the force of leadership provided by the likes of John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King and Robert F. Kennedy. When these three leaders were murdered, with the help of mutual agencies of our government, we as a Country were derailed from that path of change and forced down the road of military might makes right with its monstrous profits for the Military-Industrial Complex President Eisenhower so aptly warned of less than three short years before in his farewell speech to the nation. Where we are today is the direct result of this governments actions in selecting leadership through the ensuing years and until this Nation awakens to this fact and courageously makes the necessary changes, we will erode from within through a deadly combination of manipulation and inertia.
