Intelligent Black Perspective In the Last Place You’d Think to Look

The Prosecution of George W. Bush For Murder

without comments

Usually books come out that logically present a problem and dance around the potential solution. That goes for fiction as well as non-fiction. I first heard about famed attorney and author Vincent Bugliosi’s book The Prosecution of George W. Bush For Murder this morning on Democracy Now!

I’ve never been so amped to get a book, that appears to have real answers and paths to achieving them.

It’s one thing for everyday citizens to know something is wrong with the way we live and the world around us. Occasionally, you get a piece of work that pulls the veil up a little bit, and only for a little while. But when I heard the passion and heat of Bugliosi as he vividly provided documentation and examples that implicate George W. Bush as the principal suspect in the death of thousands of American soldiers, I’ve never felt so informed, or empowered.

The truth is that all the virtues laid out in the constitution that governs this country have been manipulated to become convenient commodities. When it comes to imperialistic business enterprise, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness are all in how they are interpreted, and if those interpretations can increase the bottom line.

Information mediums have been crafted and filtered to fit an evil agenda, one that jeopardizes the health and well being of all of us. None of us knows what is coming, but we can all agree that its getting closer. And we’re not going to like when it gets here.

This book is one of the few mediums that has the wherewithal and possibility to empower people’s better judgment. To say collectively, “this is not cool,” and to get up and do something about it. I’m only one man with one voice, but if my one voice can be the beginning and continuous impetus for a growing dialog, then I have served my time well.

Please, go get this book. Read it carefully, and decide what role you can play in bringing an end to governments that seek to obliterate all hope for true democracy and healthy international relationships. Decide that enough truly is enough, and every day of your life, you will do something to bring about a better change for your children.

Please.

Our lives depend on this moment. Make the most of it.
