The Domestic Terrorist - Exhuming McCarthy

EXHUMING McCARTHY

I must admit I’ve got a confession to make.

It’s started already. McCarthy has been exhumed, let the witchhunt begin.

This time though, we’re not chasing Reds under the bed or looking for witches. We’re finding all those dissenting voices… and we’re silencing them. That is one of the wonders of democracy and capitalism : freedom of speech applies to anyone who can afford it.

Firstly, the public seemed to have rallied around President Blair now that the war’s been won. How quickly some people forget that wars tend to involve murder, bombs, and lots of boys playing with really cool bits of kit. And how fickle the public is to like war if we’re winning, and not when we’re losing.

I’m not against all wars per se : it’s not a blanket decision. For example, I’m really for The War Against Poverty. I think that’s a pretty cool war. Especially if they spent as money on that as they did on Operation Infinite Justice.

I just think this particular one was started on the pretext of lies and deception, and if you are going to claim that you believe in Truth Justice and The American Way, you really should practise what you preach.

You shouldn’t try to silence the dissenting voices : if you do, you’re living in a dictatorship.

For far too long, anonymous sources have been telling us that the world is full of major media figures who just haven’t got the balls to stand up and state outright what everyone else knows : that war is wrong. Because these rock stars and film stars are just too scared to speak their minds, because they know that the people who support wars can not only wreck countries, but careers.

But now, as the dust clears, it also becomes clear that those who opposed war were the true enemy. The peaceniks, the seditious, the traitors – all lapdogs of dictators. All those who spoke up and exercised their democratic rights, were actually being paid by dictators - as opposed to all those who support the war, who are never the lapdogs of dictators. . I didn’t know everyone who opposed a war actually supported dictatorships.

Dictators are people who refute the will of the public, spend an enormous amount of money on an army, and start a war nobody wants. Sounds like a President I know

How naïve of me, to think that people who opposed war were actually opposed to war. I didn’t realise that they were receiving payments from dictators and that the paperwork was conveniently left in the big boxes marked “BRITAIN” in looted Government buildings waiting for the spirit of investigative journalism to uncover planted evidence.

So, somewhere in the rubble of Baghdad, the intrepid reporter from the Telegraph is scrabbling around abandoned buildings. Looking for Iraqi military secrets the invading armies are too darn lazy to scoop up and check for themselves when he finds documents detailing huge payments from the Iraqi Government to a British MP. One who was vocally against the war.

Now I don’t know whose being more naïve at this point… is it the people who believe this kind of amateurish tosh? Or is it MI5 and MI6 for not checking up on the financial affairs of MP’s to make sure they’re not being paid a third of a million pounds a year by the country we’re at war against?

The first casualty of war is the truth. And this is just another lie, one of thousands perpetrated by governments that think that just because they change figureheads every few years, that they’ve got the right to take the most beautiful of human ideals – those of truth, of justice, and equality - and betray them war, profit, and cheap Sneakers.

And where are those Weapons of Mass Destruction George? Has Iraq got enough of them now you’ve blasted hundreds of them into its buildings? Or haven’t you found them yet because the factory in Baltimore hasn’t finished them yet?

Ever get the feeling you’ve been cheated?
