Holding to Account

Yesterday was certainly a day for celebration. We repudiated the sickening lies and corruption. Who wouldn't celebrate the implosion of darkness? Yet already the right is on the attack to tell us to stop right where we are. No. This administration and the corrupt absolutely do need to be held to account. They need to be held to account for their fraud and conspiracy otherwise we will not have our country back. Otherwise they or others will try and do it again.

It's not just the Repubs -- I vote Democratic this time because the lock on power absolutely needed to be smashed and there are more folks of integrity in that camp at the moment. Brave people who stood up to the bullies and spoke up about the lies and fraud. People like Conyers and Waxman and Kucinich and Boxer and Watson and Waters and Winograd. That said, there are many Dems deep in the corruption cesspool and they too need to be held to account. It is our duty to shine light into all this darkness.

This is not from revenge, but from a place of standing for what we deserve and from what we know to be true. To change, we need to see the truth. We cannot move forward without the truth. There are far too many corruptions, far too many criminal activities from the top people running the country -- we need to hold the admin accountable so that the American people broadly and deeply know what was actually done to them. So they won't ever be fooled again.

As the abused, we damn well have a right to investigate and a duty to hold the abusers to account. Forgiveness comes, but you cannot completely forgive if you really have no idea what was done to you / the country / the planet -- the harm and the insult and the rape of you.

If you are drugged and raped and aren't aware of what happens to you, you are still raped. When you come to and see the torn panties and the bruises, you better believe you'd want to get the guy who did it to you off the street and to affirm that that is not what you deserve. That would be your duty as a woman. When you press charges, you stand up for all women and say, "No! You cannot violate me. There are consequences for what you did."

I don't doubt that anyone who suggests to a woman in this situation, "Why prosecute? You really don't know exactly what happened, why bother dredging it up?" could expect a swift one in the teeth. It's insulting and demeaning. It suggests that her humanity isn't important enough to stand up for. That she doesn't need to know exactly how she was degraded. That she doesn't need to understand what twisted cogs allowed someone to think that doing that was okay.

Many people in the country have only a vague sense of what has been done to them -- they have the sickening feeling of seeing those torn panties, but aren't really conscious yet of what actually happened. To those who tell us to stop, No! there are the panties, here are the bruises -- we need to know.

We still need to root out the tentacles of the fraud so we really know who is pulling the stings and how and why. It's our duty and it would help us heal these truly great wounds. Not only that, it also would help demonstrate to the world that, beyond the planes, our country has been hijacked these past years and these arrogant raiders do not and never have represented us.

Every human being should feel vindicated today. It was a stand to shred to pieces the darkness we've had shoved down our throats and it's a grand and happy day for the planet that humans in this part of the world have spoken and acted to do so.
