"Myth, with its always circular structure, is indeed the
story of a foundation. It permits the construction of a
model according to which the different pretenders can
be judged."
Gilles Deleuze, "The Simulacrum and Ancient Philosophy".

March 7, 2011 will go down as a day of infamy.
Two events enshrined the abuse of Executive Power and
failure of the Rule of Law in the United States.
--
1) President Obama signed an Executive Order to restart
Military Commissions and also to continue Indefinite
Detention of those deemed "a threat to US security" at
Gitmo.
---
2) A group of state Attorney Generals release Fraudclosure
investigation study and do not find any criminal conduct by
banks, but call for fines.

It is no longer possible to discern President Obama's "America"
from President George W. Bush's. Both agree that power, state
sponsored or backed by corporate coffers, must not be held
accountable to law. They also agree the Constitution is "just a
piece of paper." Remember when Senator Obama boasted about
his college days studying Constitutional Law on the campaign
trail? Perhaps the trappings of Executive Power have erased those
lessons. Maybe he's proving himself to his elite bosses. Not only
will he torture folks, he'll go further and allow a US Soldier to be
tortured at Quantico Brig in good Ol' Virginia. He won't bother
rendering to a black site or Gitmo. He'll expand the Drone Bombing
Campaign to Pakistan and Yemen. A policy which mass murders
civilians under the aegis of "Targeted Assassination". He will
excite the envy and earn the praise of Neo-Cons, future King
George's and tyrants by issuing assassination warrants on US
citizens sans due process.

Bankers continue to escape accountability for the massive fraud
they practice every day and which, just over two years ago, crashed
our economy. Evasion is one thing, but they are being rewarded
in the trillions for their malfeasance.

Fraud and torture are the law of the land. Telling the truth earns
torture and makes one an aider and comforter of enemies. The
pretense is they are upholding laws and protecting freedom as
civil liberties are surrendered wholesale.

Wealth is the latest Clerical Immunity. They do God's work.
Law's a shrinking violet when "Market Indulgences" are
handed to Judges, Legislators, and Presidents.
