The people who wrote the Constitution hated democracy

Says Vidal: We've always been an oligarchy of the well-to-do and are becoming even more so now. What freedoms we had have now been eliminated -- Magna   more...Carta guaranteed us due process of law, the only good thing England left us.  less

Vidal: "I was born 80 years ago in a country called the United States of America and now I live in a Homeland – an expression we haven't heard since Hitler."

"Our only political party has two right wings, one called Republican, the other Democratic. But Henry Adams figured all that out back in the 1890s. 'We have a single system,' he wrote, and 'in that   more...system the only question is the price at which the proletariat is to be bought and sold, the bread and circuses." : Gore Vidal - The Decline and Fall of the American Empire  less

Have TV journalists learned anything from the last several years?

Says Vidal: "Everybody with an IQ above room temperature is on to the con act of our media. They are obeying bigger, richer interests   more...than informing the public -- which is the last thing that corporate America has ever been interested in doing."  less

"Truman went on with his grotesque adventure and the Cold War begins."

Gore Vidal speaks to Afshin Rattansi about another of President Bush's attorney-generals facing a subpoena, the White House becoming Persepolis and military action against Iran.

Afshin Rattansi: We hear   more...that Michael Mukasey is going to become the latest of the President's Attorney-Generals to be subpoenaed, this time over his conversations with Bush and Cheney -- does this show that Congress is serious about calling the executive to account?
Gore Vidal: No, Congress has never been more cowardly, nor more corrupt. All Bush has do is to make sure certain amounts of money go in the direction of certain important congressmen and that's end of any serious investigation. After all, one of the bravest members of Congress is Denis Kucinich who brought the article of impeachment in to the well of the House of Representatives. The House of Representatives must then try the president, and then after that it goes to the Senate for judgment. However, none of these things will happen because there's nobody there except for Mr. Kucinich who has the courage to take on a sitting president who is kind of a Mafioso.
Afshin Rattansi: How can it just be one person among so many hundreds of Congressmen who wants the impeachment of George W. Bush in these circumstances?
Gore Vidal: Well it's because we no longer have a country. We don't have a republic any more. During the last 7 or 8 years of the Bush regime, they've got rid of the Bill of Rights, they've got rid of habeas corpus. They have got rid of one of the nicest gifts that England ever left us when they went away and we ceased to be colonies -- the Magna Carta -- from the 12th century. All of our law and due process of law is based on that. And the Bush people got rid of it. The president and little Mr. Gonzales who for a few minutes was his Attorney General. They managed to get rid of all of the constitutional links that made us literally a republic.
Afshin Rattansi: You have often written about the United States' superpower status in terms of the history of previous superpowers. Do you think we're witnessing the end of U.S. power as some suggest. Will the White House be seen like Persepolis? The CIA and Federal Reserve have too much power. Where are the checks and balances? Let's shake things up like never before. Ron Paul was real change. He targets these groups amoung others that form the corrupt power structure. One more shout out to Dennis K. Two men of courage and integrity.  less

The Empire never ended. The US invasion of Irak is the most recent instance of a long standing chain of opression and naked attack. Through new faces, the Empire will continue.

Gore Vidal makes a very important comment about the media control in the United States. When the 9/11 truth about the conspiracy comes to light, people like Paul Wolfowitz and Donald Rumsfeld may see   more...the same fate as Saddam Hussein. Bin Laden and Al-Qaeda are CIA assets. The network they operate is funded through the ISI by the central intelligence agency. When you have building 7, freefall speed, Silverstein saying "Pull it" and all the vast evidence about September 11th, you come to understand the detail. There were bombs in the WTC, or World Trade Center, and the Pentagon was hit by a missile. Flight 93 was shot down over Pennsylvania. The 19 hijackers were from Saudi Arabia which has direct ties right to George Herbert Walker Bush, Bush SR. Prescott Bush funded Hitler and the nazi party. If we don't stop this it will lead to World war 3, or WW3. You will not find any Britney Spears or Anna Smith videos on my channel. Please subscribe to my channel at www.youtube.com/realitynetwork to get REAL news that you may have missed on FOX, NBC, CBS, and CNN. Olbermann, Lou Dobbs, Bill Oreilly, or Sean Hannity will not cover this topic. The Iraq war, Afghanistand, and coming Iran war are all based on the pretext of 9/11, which was a total lie. We are sending our soldiers off to war based on a lie. All this torture and death for a lie. This has to stop.  less
