Vindication


Dear Mr. President,
I just read Jimmy Carter’s Op Ed in Monday’s New York Times. Now, I’m not by nature paranoid, but I can’t help but wonder if I missed delivery of that issue—the first missed delivery in many months—because one of your CIA guys was monitoring my door and decided I didn’t need to see that piece by Mr. Carter. As a friend said when I voiced that suspicion, “just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean it isn’t true.” Imagine, Jimmy Carter, one of your predecessors, coming out against your Targeted Assassinations Program, your covert wars of aggression, your killing of American citizens without trial, your gutting of the Constitution. It’s like he wrote one of my letters! Of course, you probably haven’t read any of my letters—26 since I started up again in May without a single response from The White House, but that’s not unexpected. What can you say to my accusations, to my rants, to my outrage at your betrayal of We the People? And then, this morning I read in yesterday’s New York Times, an editorial by Frank Bruni, former restaurant critic, now political analyst and Obama apologist, and it’s a perfect example of what I talked about in yesterday’s letter; about those who are in denial, who refuse to acknowledge the truth of who you are. One of those who say, “Obama’s just another spectator on the boat with the rest of us.” Bullshit! I say, Obama knows exactly what he’s doing and it is evil. He has sold his soul to the Devil for power. After reading Carter’s op ed, I feel vindicated, Mr. President, that I see clearly what and who you are even if Frank Bruni and others don’t or won’t, and so, I’m not stopping. Even though I know your censors in the basement of the White House who sift through those 65,000 letters a week and feed you 10 a day won’t consider passing on any of mine, I still feel like it’s my patriotic duty to continue writing and venting about the disaster that you have unleashed on America and the world, to continue to denounce your war crimes and your crimes against humanity and the American people–not just my words but now Jimmy Carter’s as well. It’s a moral obligation to continue these letters, Mr. President, even if you never see any of them and no one ever reads them, for they track your misdeeds and your descent into the dark side of corruption and the abuse of power. You may not read a single one but my voice is out there along with hundreds of others, maybe thousands, maybe a million, and eventually we will be heard.
