Dear Diary

I have lived through a lot in my life. It hasn't been an easy road but I have accepted it as my life. I cherished freedom and justice in a country I never thought would lose it's principles, but, now in the year 2006 out of paranoya, fear and incompetence the very government I felt so protected by has turned against the people of this nation.

Over the last six years there has been a 'sham' for a government. It's agenda is undermining and measured. It misleads only enough to allow fear to overcome objection. The USA today is a retreating nation. A retreating nation from it's values. It's hopes and dreams for the future. It's promise. It's preciousness.


I probably should have started this 'type' of entry long ago. It would have measured clearly every step by this government to hide their truth, their lack of promise, their insult to the Constitution.

The past few days has proven dramatically the extent to the end of democracy in the USA. The end of freedom. The end of justice.

In a planned assault against the minds of the electorate, a 'staged' take down of a supposed al Qaeda cell in Miami played out on Friday. Robert S. Mueller, III carried out a 'lead up' to the faux raid.

Seven Black Men were living in a warehouse. They were Muslims. These seven men were poor. Unfunded except for the entrapment by the FBI under Mueller's direction and deception. They knew nothing about the 'game' the FBI was running on them. They were unarmed with aboslutely no potential to anyone any harm in anyway.

These seven men have families. They were estranged from society. It's understandable to have a young man without promise, potential for a future to become estranged from society's 'higher' values. Seven Black Men were not able to support a family. They could not contemplate fatherhood in a real way and provide support while living with them. Seven Black Men carried on as if they could defeat the USA from the inside of an abandoned warehouse in Miami, in a neighborhood the police commissioner there characterized as 'a good neighborhood.' He stated unlike inner city neighborhoods it had problems but it was basically a good neighborhood.

The only real charges that should have been applied to these circumstances was 'trespassing.' There was no other crime committed. There were only 'ideas' of an identity beyond themselves. An idea that would carry them to the supremacy of manhood. The soldier leader that would liberate all of them. A fantasy. Nothing but a fantasy. They never really acted in any real way on those ideas. They were encouraged to continue their fantasy while hanging themselves legally under the gaze and direction of the FBI.


The lead up to the arrests was most dramatic. CNN had been getting attention grabbing guests that week and the most popular show of any of the CNN lineup, "Larry King Live" featured the entire hour an interview with Robert S. Mueller, III. During that interview and well acted as if reluctant to 'let on' Mueller stated there was an operation in Miami of which the result would be revealed the next day.

Dutifully, CNN knew it's place and began promoting the raid without relent.

The next day in a news conference, Mueller stated the Miami raid was successful. It has captured in the early stages a "Home Grown al Qaeda Cell." A new terrorist network. He stated they had overwhelming evidence to bring a judge to issue warrants. Once those warrants were issued the metal door locking an entrance to a windowless warehouse was torn down and the men inside, all seven oddly enough were arrested. Seven homeless Black Men were arrested
without the potential to cause any harm to anyone except themselves in circumstance they probably still don't understand.

Did Mueller speak to their education? Did he speak to their impoverishment? Did he once consider the consequences of such a fool hearty act against basically helpless men in full view of
a nation tired of the intrusion of their lives by this administration and it's ever increasing invasion into homes, morality and choices in life? Did he ever stop one minute to realize what a fool he was being and what a puppet to Gonzalez he had become?

No. Not once. No remorse. No apologies. In true Bush style when the going gets tough the tough get going and he did. Mueller went on tour. Our tax dollars is paying for his 'Tour de Home Grown Terrorist." After his news conference he made a public speech 'showing off' his catch of the day.

He continues his tour. Where? CNN of course. The nation's propaganda network.

I never thought I would see the day an intelligence agency would be used in a propaganda campaign against the electorate of the USA. If Mueller and Gonzalez were sincere in catching very dangerous people within our borders they would not have 'annouced' their methodology to the world. I never thought I'd see the day that basically angry but innocent men would be facing sentences that have the potential of sending them to Gitmo or life in prison or death row. These men may have criminal records. My understanding is that they don't. Who knows what will be trumped up against them.

In a country once admired with values once sought after by people all across this globe, a dark shadow has been cast upon it. It no longer carries a message of hope, tolerance and promise. It carries the message, 'Beware, of the USA." Citizens in this country are no longer safe from their government.
