Dick Morris: Bill Clinton Orchestrated Waco Attack NOT Janet Reno

DB. I thought this ancient history, however in the aftermath of this carnage, there was the usual hearings in D.C. where Mr. Schumer praised the efforts of the constabulary in charge of this attack and called them heroes etc. I really can't get past that and whenever I see Schumer in action the veil comes up and I just find him to be totally disingenuous. He is a complete coward.

Thanks for that reminder on Schumer and Waco.

Bill Hicks on Waco...

Man was ahead of his time.

[Pitchfork]

Thanks for sharing that Bill Hicks link, Cheyenne. I don't really remember his stuff from the time he was alive -- I only know it in retrospect. Wasn't he friends with John Fox?

Anyway, yeah. Bill Hicks got that one exactly right.

It's funny, I used to think it was provocative to say that we need a revolution in this country. Or at least I used to feel like I was saying something slightly scandalous or off-color. Now, however, it's just a plain statement of fact. The political system is rotten to the core and beyond fixing. We need some kind of (hopefully peaceful) revolution.

[Cheyenne]

Saying we need a revolution still shocks a lot of people. I've got any number of friends/family who are fully aware of the systemic corruption but who STILL fight like alley cats over Robama and Obamney. The left-right paradigm frames (jails?) all of their thinking, which cannot assimilate the fact that (1) the rule of law is dead, (2) the election will change nothing, and (3) they're playing the Kabuki dupes.

It's the nation's #1 addiction because it claims the minds of people whom doctors, themselves addicted, adjudge sober. Coke and heroin are trivial compared with TV and radio, which provide the ulitmate high (an entire mis-reality populated by fellow addict-sympathizers) at no financial cost.

You think I'm kidding? Try taking away an addict's dope by presenting him with a few hard facts (e.g., Obamacare = Romneycare) and watch the irrational freak-out that contorts the addict in a spasm of denial.

Here's what Hicks had to say about it (in 40 seconds):

And yeah, Fox and Hicks were buddies despite their almost polar-opposite styles. Fox said Hicks would make entire routines out fo material no one else would so much as even mention.

Cheyenne, Didn't know if you had seen the documentary on Waco that was floating around a few years back. Coverage of the original bothced takover from the local BATF guys. Amazing in that they either invited the local newsies there while they shot all the dogs first then attempted to storm the "castle" Followed the whole time line until the end of the siege in which it was asserted that they used special ops forces to storm the gates. Shot all those who came out the back door, but not the front because the cameras were rolling. I don't think that Dick Morriss assertions that J.R. threatened B.C. with a truth telling means anything at all. Just a bunch of crap. In my view.

("The left-right paradigm frames (jails?) all of their thinking, which cannot assimilate the fact that (1) the rule of law is dead, (2) the election will change nothing, and (3) they're playing the Kabuki dupes.")

They're establishment fundamentalist zombies. Their degree of denial is so complete they are blind to the destruction of everything that made rest of the world envy the American People . When revolution comes they will support the parasites, they will refuse to admit what they believe in, is absolute bullshit, and they will die by the thousands defending a corrupt criminal system and those who created it.

I don't foresee a peaceful solution, the whole damn country fell over the cliff and is still functioning, kind of, because we haven't crashed into the rocks at the bottom, yet!!

[S. Gompers]

It took a lot of people on both sides to build that.
