Sweep rounds up 10,700 fugitives

Convicted sex offenders who haven't registered are a main target.

WASHINGTON — More than 10,700 fugitives were rounded up last month in a weeklong sweep by federal, state and local law officials, Atty. Gen. Alberto R. Gonzales announced Thursday.

Lets just speak plainly about the world for a few minutes. Even the retired Justice Sandra Day O'Conner has made allusions to the conditions in this country that are trending towards authoritarianism. Citizens concern themselves with this sort of thing, but for the most part, the malled masses embrace ignorance. Casually shrugging off the singular uniqueness of our country and our track record of personal freedoms vs. just about any other place or time, they just don't engage. So lets just step around the 90 some odd percent that don't matter in America.

That just leaves the established elites, who are obviously concerned with maintaining their priviledges but who often war amongst themselves for position at the teats of taxpayer monies; and the radicals, those who are willing to throw away a comfortable, if meaningless, life in the pursuit of Ideals greater than an individual. Where elites come from is obvious, folks born into that top one percent do have sex and have children. Each generation, at least a few win the lottery and join those ranks. The radicals are something different. They come from any random combination of genes that forces a moral structure to engage - they tend to die prior to reproduction.

So you've got two classes that have any measurable control over the direction of America. Those who are slip'n the steely dan into the Daughters of the Revolution, and those who are drawn to radicalism like a moth to a flame.

And let me just say one thing about us radicals. We be the folks that just can't accept the world as it is. We just can't understand why citizens of a nation refuse to educate themselves to the point that they can make decisions in their own best interest. Why would anyone willingly support a politician who is guaranteed to triple the debt of any child of yours who goes to college? Why would anyone support a politician who decided to just ignore the national debt? We just don't get it, so we make noise and invite attack.

So amongst the single digets that actually engage with the direction of 'the land of the free', the majority are the elites. The Bushs, the Kerrys, the Kennedys, and the Clintons, and all their butt kissing friends.

This FALCON roundup - gosh dang I'm tired of the neocons little acronyms - is a show of force for the small percentage that's paying attention. They are making a statement and we're all pansies if we refuse to engage what they are saying. With mere hours before the next major U.S. election, do we really need to spell this out to the few morans who might stumble accros my blog.

A percentage of the elites are 'all-in' behind the Bush political machine. The K-Street project ensured a fair number of them were.

Now they are signaling to the fence sitters that the war is over and they better choose the right side. All the groundwork for a police force coup is in place, and not enough of the public has their head out of their ass. If you were an elite, with children in Princeton, would you hedge your bet on the wisdom of the masses right now?

They've eliminated habeus corpus. At a word from GWB you are an enemy combatant (even if you are a U.S. citizen) and penciled in for four hours of sleep and twenty hours of stress positions for the next three years. No appeal, no lawyer, no right to see the charges against you. Sure they havn't really stuck it to anybody who didn't look 'terrorist', but the law be the same for every one of us. Maybe you never went out of your way to read up on the dozens of young black men who wanted nothing but to fight segregation, but wound up on Death Row for the 'crime' of being associated with a group that someone in the government thought was terrorist. Flying planes into buildings is terrorist, refusing to submit to the KKK's terror program of burning black's homes is not. Unfortunately, too few Americans can pull themselves away from the castrating effects of media to understand that there might be a diffence between the two.

So, unfortunately, the powers that be do not see this as a challenge to their powerbase.
