Transcript of his speech: Judge Napolitano finally had had enough, and spoke the truth by asking a series of questions. He never made any specific allegations, and simply asked thought-provoking questions, in order to skirt around what was likely limitations imposed by FOX “News”on what he could say. Nonetheless, he was soon kicked out, his show canned. He risked his livelihood to tell you the truth, and unless we pay attention, whistle-blowers will become extinct.
“What if Democrats and Republicans were
two wings of the same bird of prey? What if elections
were actually useful tools of social control? What if they just provided
the populace with meaningless participation in a process that validates an
establishment that never meaningfully changes? What if that establishment
doesn’t want and doesn’t have the consent of the governed? What if the
two-party system were actually a mechanism used to limit so-called public opinion?
What if there
were more than two sides to every issue, but the two parties wanted to box
you in to one of their corners?
What if there’s no such thing
as public opinion, because every thinking person has opinions that are uniquely
his own? What if public opinion were just a
manufactured narrative that makes it easier to convince people that if their
views are different, there’s something wrong with that – or something wrong
with them?
What if the
whole purpose of the Democratic and Republican parties was not to expand
voters’ choices, but to limit them? What if the widely perceived differences
between the two parties were just an illusion? What if the heart of government policy
remains the same, no matter who’s in the White House? What if the heart of
government policy remains the same, no
matter what the people want?
What if those vaunted differences
between Democrat and Republican were actually just minor disagreements? What if both parties just
want power and are willing to have young people fight meaningless wars to
enhance that power? What if both parties continue to fight the war on drugs
just to give bureaucrats and cops bigger budgets and more jobs? What if
government policies didn’t change when government’s leaders did? What if no
matter who won an election, government stayed the same? What if government were
really a revolving door of political hacks, bent on exploiting the people while
they’re in charge?
What if both
parties supported welfare, war, debt, bailouts and big government? What if the rhetoric
candidates displayed on the campaign trail was dumped after electoral victory?
What if Barack Obama campaigned as an antiwar, pro-civil liberties
candidate, then waged senseless wars while assaulting your rights that the
Constitution is supposed to protect? What if George
W. Bush campaigned on a platform of nonintervention and small government, then
waged a foreign policy of muscular military intervention and a domestic policy
of vast government borrowing and growth?
