And I am not paranoid - it has been proved time and time again we simply cannot trust people in government to tell the truth. Why we even allow those in government to collect an income, let alone raise their own pay while much of America (what, 60 percent or so) suffers from low income (minimum), is way beyond the realm of reason.

After reading with interest the CIA’s involvement in selling cocaine to LA citizens during the Contra affair with both Reagan and Bush’s knowledge of such a detestable means of obtaining funding for arming its allies, promises to not raise taxes on those who do not know their constitutional rights, and now, with the truth coming out about the Waco affair, it has become quite difficult to believe anything the government states. Of course, loss of credibility involves much more than the above which just happen to be a few of the major lies of a government out of control.

Remember all the great furor over the Watergate tapes and illegal surveillance taking place with the knowledge of the president at the time, Richard Nixon? Jeez, that is really a big deal compared to the surveillance going on now, isn’t it? So, why are we allowing them to illegally monitor what we citizens do? Isn’t their tapping into phone conversations and computer communications far worse than corrupted politicians in Washington spying on each?

Or the eroding away of our rights of privacy by making private information available to themselves and whoever, including businesses?

For example, Joe Blow in the bank hasn’t any right to know anything about me (nor does any marketing organization). Banks should only know how to identify me visually and the use of a numbered driver’s license without a social security number and, certainly, never a finger print.

Remember all the upset Republicans because of FBI files on them? What about all the files on innocent citizens that are being compiled. Don’t hear buttwipe Republicans complaining about that, do you?

The government’s lies stating the National ID is being pushed just to help against crime and to track dead beat dads is a great big pile of you know what. It is only so they may track our activities right along with criminals and deadbeat dads, a soon-to-be common practice which is against the Constitution.

And using unconstitutional surveillance as a means of fighting the war against drugs. What a bunch of bull “manure” that is. Innocent people aren’t involved in illegal drugs, nor are they necessarily deadbeat dads (especially since many are women being monitored) and that negates any basis of the necessity for IDing everyone.

Innocent people, regardless of how much cash they carry, should never be subjected to any form of searches, including spot checks on the highway, their homes busted into to by the feds, automobiles and other properties taken.

I didn’t say that - the Constitution provides the protection against it. That is, until the clods in Congress and other branches of government started removing or distorting our rights.

The government hasn’t any right to know my income. No place has the right to send reports concerning my income, nor to withhold money from my income unless I volunteer it. I didn’t say that either - the Constitution and USC does.

The government hasn’t any right to know where I am employed or where I might travel within the states making up the union. I didn’t state that - the Constitution does.

The government hasn’t any right to know what firearms I have or how much ammunition I have stockpiled (None, but that also isn’t any of their business. This may change, however, as I see the feds doing what they are doing to the Constitution.) I didn’t make this up either - the Constitution states it quite clearly.

As to operating a motor vehicle, the government does not have the right to know whether I paid property taxes, am providing insurance (what a boon for the insurance industry that was) in issuing a license, but, instead, only that I can operate a vehicle safely. Property taxes and insurance are separate issues and have absolutely nothing to do with safe operation of a vehicle.

And, then there are always Earth-shattering statements concerning the present administration by people such as Burton (R-ID), who couldn’t identify the truth if it reached up and bit them in the butt.

Remember Burton's slamming the devil out of Clinton only to find he had done much worse? Granted, it is quite clear there was a cover-up concerning the Waco tragedy but to have people who have consistently misled the American public talk about it as if they are as pure as the purest of spring waters, is a cancer it seems we, the public, must endure until the corrupted power in government is removed (by legal, non-violent means available to We, the People, instead of using the force government agencies resort to).

My lack of faith in the people we have in government in the nation’s capitol leads me to believe that not only did Reno know exactly what was taking place in Waco with the Davidians, but so did many members of government, Republican and Democrat alike.

Actually, with the way Washington seems to work and the ever present leaks, they probably all knew and were just flexing the government’s muscle against a very small group of people with the intent, “Let this be a lesson to all of you. We are all powerful and will smash you like bugs should you attempt to delay us from our coveted goal of complete control over all the people of this nation.”

Our government is intent on establishing totalitarian control and its best tool is the same one it has used to rob people of their incomes, of supporting special interest groups, of misleading people into paying into a system of welfare that is nor required of any citizen of any state (Social Security), of misleading about gun control, the war on drugs and other crimes, and to cause people to do what is against their Constitutional rights.

What tool, you might ask? FEAR. Well, you might add intimidation but it is derived from fear of consequences.

Anyway, the Davidians gave the government, not just Reno and the current administration, the opportunity it was looking for - an opportunity to squelch a group who was acting against the dictates of government.

How can any intelligent human being doubt part of the decision to take the drastic actions taken against the Davidians was to put this thought into potential dissenter’s minds - “Act against us and this is what you will receive.”?

The necessity of a cover-up was inevitable and no doubt planned for. Even so, there were predictions that there was more to what was going on in Waco than the government or its media puppets let out. Thankfully, the Texas Rangers stayed in pursuit of the truth which is quite commendable since it is a law enforcement agency.

The Waco affair goes along with gun control, national ID’s, satellite surveillance, government intrusion into nearly every facet of our lives.

So, to those of you in the major parties who ACT as if misleading the public or covering up government acts and keeping them out of public domain is against your beliefs and the manner in which you yourself have acted, prove it by telling us, the people, the entire truth and nothing but the truth.

Tell us the truth concerning every major event that has occurred, including but not exclusive of, JFK’s assassination, the Iran-Contra Affair, Reagan and Bush’s knowledge of cocaine sales by the CIA to citizens of this nation, Flight 800, Area 51, Bush Jr. and his father’s involvement in banks going broke in Texas and then being bailed out by the public, Social Security, federal income tax (other any other taxes placed on people’s incomes besides property taxes, road taxes, sales taxes, etc.), the Federal Reserve System and its relation to employment taxes (what most of us call income taxes), Roswell, and so on.

Granted, security may be involved but is it the security of the 50 states or just the security of the federal government housed in the District of Columbia?

Until the Feds do that, anything they put out is nothing more than rhetorical, political BS.

And, to those who are known to have lied by violated their oaths of office, pox be upon them and may thier constituencies wake up, smell the roses (or should I say piles of crap), and put their butts out of office.

Hey, wait a minute. That’s nearly everyone in government since we keep getting more and more of our Constitutional rights either taken away, such as freely traveling the highways and byways of this nation without fear of being stopped by some law enforcement agency, privacy concerning matters such as medical, banking, or other rights of privacy being FUBAR, and, of course, the misleading conjectural statements lacking facts concerning gun control.

I don’t believe any of the Feds are responsible enough to the American people (with maybe an exception or two) to do any of the above so how about we just make them stop all the crappola and concentrate on their job which is to protect the Constitution, the defense of the 50 states, and to promote the general welfare of the people. That would at least be a start to the public not being misled.

But - -- Since that isn’t likely to happen, guess that makes getting the truth out of the corrupt multitudes in government as impossible as me becoming the next president of this nation.

By the way, Feds, what year do you have it planned that surveillance chips capable of recording every event in a person’s life will be implanted in all babies immediately after birth? I think the American public has the right to know, don’t you? Or, are you already doing it?

Is your ire at the public being misled concering Waco and other matters merely political rather than a heartfelt belief?

I, after developing a feeling for the depth of corruption nearly all of you exhibit, feel it is merely political and simply serves your tyrannical purposes.
