One of the worst things about America these days is that the federal government does not believe it is accountable to the people.
No more so than the Mafia anyways.
There is a siege mentality about any hint of corruption, and the powerful do protect each other.
That's how organized crime dose it. At least when petty criminals -- rape, robbery, assault etc. -- will openly say "do the crime, do the time".
No one in Washington believes the Senate Ethics Committee will do anything.
...but protect the government organized crime syndication.
Where there is secrecy, there is no truth; where there is no truth, there is no justice; where there is no justice, there is no freedom. ( Where there is no competition there is no accountability - as witnessed in our political system)
Same with state, county and city government.
Thanks, yet another identification that supports the "theory" that government has been supplanted by an organized crime syndication. Turning up the Heat on Government Abuse
Evidence of this sustained miscarriage of justice was the 30-year imprisonment of Joe Salvati, whom F.B.I. officials are said to have known to be innocent of the crime for which he was convicted — but they remained silent to protect Mafia sources.
John Ashcroft's Department of Justice does not want Congress to air out this long, shameful story.
I would like someone to name me one agency, branch of government, or court that is not corrupt beyond repair.
You're right, they're beyond repair. All the more reason to take matters into our own hands by, Turning up the Heat on Government Abuse
Democrats or Republicans - both are POLITICIANS and both are corrupt. Put 'em in a can - shake 'em up and pour one out - you can not tell the difference. The whole lot have one thing in mind - re-election and which lobbyist to have lunch with tomorrow. The bottom line is cash.
