…that 2004 may have been the first successfully stolen election in modern US history — albeit with a strategy that depended on luck. Does that sound right to you?

Of course in 2000, the Republicans competed politically, but they needed shenanigans to carry the day. With a complicit swing-state house, a rogue supreme court long past their fresh date, and a complacent Dem candidate, it was hard to call that one stolen. The election events in 2000 and 2004 remind me very much of the Democratic self-sabotage on display in 2016. Gore, Kerry, and Hillary were all uniquely tone-deaf and socially stiff candidates. It didn't matter to the deep state who won those elections. The Neocons could have mounted any one of them and easily whipped them off to new wars.

Coincidently, I see candidates Obama and Trump as mirror images, as well. The Deep State knew they would ultimately bend them to the yoke. But it wasn't clear to the rest of us that our nightmare would continue until they filled their cabinet positions with the usual suspects. Then all realistic hope would be dashed.

Good times….

I wish that his letter would go viral and see if it woke people up.
The whole letter is on point, but this stood out for me.

Somehow our elected leaders were subverting international law and humanity by setting up secret prisons around the world, secretly kidnapping people, secretly holding them indefinitely, secretly not charging them with anything, secretly torturing them. Somehow that overt policy of torture became the fault of a few “bad apples” in the military.

He nails it with this sentence.

Somehow nobody is accountable for this

And Bush was re-elected president.
And this letter could have been written after 2009, but it seems that many people didn't have a problem with the illegal wars when the president belonged to their party.
