Message from a REAL Conservative: "Treatise of the Unknown SIGINTer"

Hey all. It's been a while: I've been under the belly of the beast poking around and surveying how bad the mess is. Well, I've got good news: while our country appears to have been hijacked by the NeoCon disease, the body of our nation itself has largely resisted this disease (the common vector seems to be "bullshit"). Note: there's a HUGE difference between the traditional conservatives in this country and the NeoCon scumbags we see today. The REAL Conservatives believe in a limited government, a strong military, and adherence to the kinds of standards (like EXCELLENCE) and values (like HONESTY) that make our country great; the NeoCons claim to believe a lot of shit, but their actions reveal that they really believe only in making shit-tons of money at the expense of everyone and everything else.

They're the most incompetent turds I've ever had to endure in Washington, at least in my lifetime anyway, which hasn't been all that long. What's worse, they KNOW that we're pissed and are trying to rig the system to prevent their removal. However, they seem to have consistently made the same mistake: they persistently disrespect and underestimate the resolve and ingenuity of the American people... and we RUN this machine, not they! They may give the orders, but if we merely refused, had key strikes, whatever: they'd be as helpless as a driver with a fried engine. If they persist in pushing for a nuclear war, they might get to live that analogy for real: I'm certain that our ballistically armed enemies are well aware of the effects of EMP: A well-placed MIRV spread in our upper atmosphere would knock out all electronics and put us back in the 18th Century technologically. As it is, the likelihood of global nuclear war has risen in my estimation with the acquisition of our nuclear production facilities (enrichment and bomb-making, bomb triggers, ballistic missiles) by the Carlyle Group and the negotiations by our President with other nations (France, Poland, etc.) on their stance on a nuclear strike against "terrorist" targets. I'm not the only one who thinks this will happen: the Burmese moved their capital on two days notice to the bumfuck highlands of their country due to the risk of fallout during the monsoon season.

But, like I said, we still have heart in this country. The Neo-Cons are doing their best to stomp it out or herd it into the corral of religious fanaticism and ultra-nationalism, that we can be provoked into wanting to nuke back, invade, whatever. They will ALWAYS rely on a certain level of skill, however: those with specialized talents will be tolerated to a certain degree because there is no one to replace them in many cases... and despite the Grand Philosophy of Bullshit which dictates that what you put on TV or in the news BECOMES TRUE, there still is a level of hard reality upon which you bump your head when your IDEA about the world doesn't match what REALLY is. In other words, the map is not the territory. Some of us are interested in building accurate maps and working from them: this happens to be my job in the literal sense. Others seem more interested in what they can get people to do if they invent crises and other myths, to generate a smoke-screen to cover their own dirty secrets.

I really do believe that if we don't see the Constitutional process upheld and these scumbags held accountable, there WILL be a Second (third?) Revolution in this country, and there ain't a damn thing that could stop it. What any country lives or dies by is LEGITIMACY: the consent of the Governed. The dissatisfaction extends deeply into the military and security worlds as well. As the popular revolution begins, those in the military and security spheres sympathetic to the plight of their countrymen and disgusted with the mismanagement and deliberate looting of our country will stand up as well. I believe that despite the near lock on the media these NeoCons have, the reality of their control is paper-thin. The Schiavo incident made clear that the POLICE still know what the Constitution is and what it means: I suspect that within the military that there are also people who feel the same. The following essay from "The Unknown SIGINTer" (SIGINT stands for Signals Intelligence, or interception of electronic communications: the NSA's specialty, for those of you who live under a rock). I don't consider myself a Conservative any more than I consider myself a Liberal, but I agree with this guy 100%... except maybe the part about the Founding Fathers giving up in disgust if they had foreknowledge of our plight: I think they would have just fought harder, and I for one intend to honor their memory by keeping their spirit alive today.


From a Real Conservative

I am tired of all of the bull going around in this country concerning politics. I am a real conservative. I’m someone that wants my privacy protected at all times. I want government out of my life as much as possible. I don’t want to give half my income for some scheming bureaucrat (Democrat or Republican) to line his pockets while pretending to be fixing things for me. I want the strongest military possible because I believe in the "speak softly but carry a big stick policy".

But I don’t want that same military messing with my civil rights. The founding fathers didn’t want intrusive federal government. I personally believe that if they saw what we did with our freedom, they’d have left us a British Colony. I am tired of having billions of dollars flowing out of our country to prop up some asshole that is screwing his people just as badly as the current den of thieves that pretend to run this country while making their friends rich at my expense.

I hear all kinds of people crying about the 600 billion spent on Defense. Nobody’s crying about how the other 2.2 trillion dollars is spent every year. I know why the "The Roman Empire didn’t see it coming". The only difference between us and the Romans is that we haven’t elected a horse to the Senate yet, several dozen jackasses, but no horse. And that’s for both parties. I believe it was Ben Franklin that stated "people willing to give up freedom for secure, deserve neither".

I have strict set of rules I live by:

• Don’t go out of your way to piss me off, I only take so much crap.
• Keep your paws off what’s mine, which includes my money.
• Stop trying to fix everything in the world at my expense.
• Keep your nose out of the abortion issue. There’s 6 billion people on the planet already!

Keep messing around and I believe you’ll find out what happened around 1776. I find it amazing how we pretend to be a free nation, yet every year Congress pass another 10,000 new laws all for our benefit of course. What ever happened to the KISS principle? How to plan to enforce at this crap? This is exactly what is happening to all of what was a great nation. Bureaucrats have taken everything over and are now screwing it all in the ground World.Com, ENRON, GM, Ford, etc. are shining examples of this in action. And it is happening all throughout our government too.

An excellent example of this is the Intelligence Community. The 911 commission stated that there was too much bureaucracy. So what did we do? We add a whole new department with a whole bunch more bureaucrats, not more analysts. This is like being on the Titanic after it hit the iceberg and somebody deciding after spending several years rearranging the deck chairs that the only solution is to add another deck to the ship and install an uber-captain. Ya that’ll keep the ship from sinking.

And we all know now what happens if you play ball their way, you get promoted to your next level of incompetence. Way to go Hayden!
