Memo 618 and the Truth Behind Government Secrets and National Security
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart
The word is “corruption.” If you enjoyed the CBS television
series, “The Good Fight,” you might remember stories about “Memo 618.” In the
show it was intended to reveal government corruption related to our federal
court system. It was a metaphor.
MEMO 618 BASED ON REALITY
On February 19, 1942, FDR signed executive order 9066. It
established Japanese interment camps within the United States.
In 2002 George W. Bush created an internment camp for “suspected
terrorists” in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. It remains open today.
Thousands of American citizens, with Japanese heritage, were
placed in internment camps without legal process. Sites included Tule Lake,
California; Minidoka, Idaho; Manzanar, California; Topaz, Utah; Jerome,
Arkansas; Heart Mountain, Wyoming; Poston, Arizona; Granada, Colorado; and
Rohwer, Arkansas.
Young, male family members were frequently removed from the
camps to work in other parts of our country. This remains one of our nation’s greatest
travesties, a violation of the first and fifth amendments, and an attack on
basic human rights.
THE SECOND WORST PRESIDENT IN HISTORY
Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld have never been tried for their
war crimes, or for lying to Congress and the American people. One of their most
egregious actions involved the capture and incarceration of suspected terrorists.
These men never received due process, and were never charged for their alleged
crimes. Instead they were tortured mentally and physically, a direct violation
of the rules established by the Geneva Convention. The crimes committed by the
Bush “43” administration are as unforgivable as those designed to destroy our
nation by Trump’s goons and paid liars.
PERMISSION TO HIDE POLITICAL CORRUPTION
Every time you hear a politician, a judge, or a spokesman
for the Pentagon claim that certain documents cannot be released for “reasons
of national security,” call bullshit. We, the people, are the United States of
America. Everyone working in Washington works for us, or they should.
In the majority of situations, this is a lie. This is
nothing less than a cover up of corruption. The vast majority of our elected
officials hide their crimes. There is an unwritten agreement in Washington
between all members of the three branches of government: they will protect
their own, hiding the truth from the voting public.
I am not assuming these facts. I have experienced corruption
taking place around me throughout my life. The last nine years have revealed
many crimes and thousands of lies emanating from the worst illegitimate
president in history, dozens of members of Congress, and several justices residing
on the Supreme Court.
TERM LIMITS WOULD END MOST OT THE CORRUPTION IN WASHINGTON
Professional politicians are seldom honest. Our Founding
Fathers never intended service to our country becoming a profession. This is
likely why they made a huge mistake when they refused to establish term limits
for all three branches of government.
Another old saying which is founded in fact: “Power
corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.”
