Guilty Demeanor
[Whoops, got all bent out of shape over this letter not going to print, when in fact they slip it in under my radar scans in the April 2-8. Thanks to Teresa Griswald for the heads up. I am really not sure why the Planet people gave me this blog in the first place, but I'll try to keep track of things better. This letter was originally submitted as "Our President is a Pet Goat", but went to print as "Guilty Demeanor. My favorite line is "Bush's silk tie is really his leash." Your time and consideration is greatly appreciated]
Our President is a Pet Goat
Ronald Reagan did a much better job of deception, because he was in fact an actor. “W” should have taken some lessons. When the so-called unforeseen terrorist attacks occurred that fateful morning of Sep. 11, we all ran to the TV or radio to learn more.
Our president, however, sauntered into his pre-arranged photo opp with a group of 2nd graders all ready aware of the first plane strike. Even after being informed of the second plane crash and that the US was “officially” under attack, he still sat there perusing a book called “My Pet Goat” for another 7 minutes.
In addition, Bush later lies about seeing the first plane crash footage before entering the class room from a TV that “was obviously on”, when in fact this footage wasn't broadcasted till the next day.
“Operation Northwoods” was a submitted plan by the US Dept. of Defense in 1962 to fake Cuban attacks on innocent Americans to create a seemingly legitimate excuse for invasion. Gratefully, this declassified operation was never executed. The Bush/Cheney/Bin Laden collaboration, however, ran with this horrific “idea” and turned into a sloppily choreographed “reality.”
“Guilty Demeanor” is a legal term used when one's actions clearly reveal an attempt to hide the truth. While the entire world reacted in horror and shock, Cheney's personal pet, pretended to be calmly reading. Bush's silk tie is really his leash.
Somehow, the slumber continues. When will the American people realize they are being herded like frightened sheep? It's time to courageously unzip our souls and shed our voluntary domestication. We must remember that we are in fact a nation of heroic wolves that can no longer tolerate these sinister and insane atrocities any longer.
