.........scenario #1. & #2.

To the reader, please go to "older posts" and begin with
#1. EVEPLEBEODIOUS , then sequentially with #2., #3., etc.

#22. THE WATCHMEN
.............scenario #1.........

Your the one the one and only!

You are to be dependable.
you are to be diligent.
You are there to protect the very lives of the rest.

You are vitally important to the future of your squad or perhaps
your entire Company.

You are their life line.

As they sleep , you watch.

You see a suspicious movement; you hear a strange sound
and you alert the others and they are now awake and prepared.

In comes the enemy and the battle ensues; the enemy is beaten
and they withdraw.

Of your fellows, there are many wounded and some losses.

An investigation is wrought; it is found you performed your duty well.

You are not held responsible for the wounded and the lost;
their blood is not on your hands.

You are decorated for you exemplary service.

THE WATCHMEN
......scenario #2.......

As they sleep you watch.

As you watch you get sleepy.

You cannot keep your eyes open.

You fall asleep.

You are awakened to gunfire, screams, and chaos.

You hear the bullets whizzing through the smoke filled air.

The darkness is interrupted by huge balls of fire emanating from
exploding grenades and the muzzle flashes of many small arms weapons.

It seems the attack will never end, but finally and fortunately the
enemy is forced to flee in retreat and the battle is over.

Your enemy has successfully completed a vicious hit and run mission
against you and your charge.

As the smoke clears you hear the cry's of the wounded.

As the morning light creeps into the day you can now see.....
you are surrounded by death and destruction.

Many of your comrades are now dead and wounded.

An investigation is wrought; it is found that you were negligent.

You are charged for your negligence.

You are found guilty as charged.

Their blood is upon your hands.

Your possible sentence? Death!

Your sentence is:
You are busted to E1.
You are jailed for 40 years to life in a military prison; no good time.

You are in hell remembering;
those you let down,
those who were wounded and
those who died because of your failure.

Both of these scenarios speak of true and complete justice, but...
is there this true and complete justice for all in America?

Why is it that subordinates are usually held accountable and have
to pay the responsibility tab, while their bosses seem to get away with
the slight; or at most get a slap on the hand or maybe a small fine?

It also appears government employees seem to slip through the cracks
kinda like a cockroach does when ever you try to nail them.

Have you ever noticed how they (the cockroaches) have what appears
to be a pre-planned escape route!

Thank goodness they (I am still referring to the roaches) aren't rich;
cause who knows what kinda protection they could buy!

I must apologise for the humor or at least the attempt; cause there
really isn't anything funny about this issue.

In fact it is a damn shame that there isn't equal Justice or in some
cases no justice dolled out to certain groups of Americans, yeah
that's right I said Americans; you know; land of the free, home of
the brave and justice for all, where all men (people) are equal.

Yeah now you got it, This Country. Your country. Our Country.

The Natives of this land (Our country) were correct when they
almost unanimously stated that;
"the White Man speaks with forked tongue".

Please understand I believe this comment:
"White Man speaks with forked tongue" referred
to the Government, so I mean "not" to sound racists.

We all know the Natives words "forked tongue" implied "liars", right!

When it comes time for accountability; those in power misdirect the
responsibility; they deflect, alter or just plain deny the truth.... and
they seem to get away with this the greater percentage of the time.

I don't know how this affects others; though I have ears to hear these
others I still can only assume how they really feel, that is until I see
that someone went postal, then I kinda get the point!

All I can tell you is, that when the cockroach gets away;
it affects me quite adversely.

Though I am a social being, I find myself in retreat every time an
incident occurs where and when accountability is not wrought
against the perpetrators of the failure.

Since I am expected to be accountable, I expect all others to likewise
be accountable.

Each and every time a denial of responsibility or a failure to produce
accountability is reported, I become more and more disillusioned;
especially with the failures being reported more and more often.

Unfortunately, Our Police and Governmental agencies are generally
thought of by most to be corrupt and seemingly untouchable.

The People have become quite skeptical of our police and
governmental agencies responses to the many allegations of
improper procedures, or inappropriate activities and behaviors.

These responses are purely designed to cover and protect...
The Agencies!

The police agencies hide behind "internal review" and "vehemently"
refuse to give any information concerning "their alleged" improper
and inappropriate activities; unless it is pried from them through
the courts; and if it be through the "Civil" courts with by out
settlements with the plaintiff's (most likely were former defendants)
there is usually a "gag order stipulation" attached to keep the
improper activity secret.

Each Governmental Agency, whether it be Municipal, County, State or
Federal; including Congressional and also Presidential Administrations,
have proven methods and procedures to be utilized in the cover up of their
improper activities from deep scrutiny. ( I think the roaches taught them)

Why do The People want or need to know?

Simply put, to hold those responsible, accountable.

Because "WE The People" have to be responsible and accountable
for our actions, therefore "We" require the same responsibility from
those that serve us.

Perform the duty correctly and completely, or else
suffer the consequences....that is unless you are able to:
hide the truth, deny the truth, or create a scapegoat to pin
the failure on!

It is the responsibility of those in government to;
accomplish their tasks.

Some of these are directed to be "The Watchmen";
these should take heed; of Ezekiel, 33.

To the Watchman:
"If you see the enemy of the Lord (land) approach the city and
blow the trumpet of warning;
those that hear the trumpet and flee (or prepare) will be safe".

"Those that hear the trumpet and do not heed the warning will die;
and their blood will not be on the Watchman's hands".

"If the Watchman sees the enemy of the Lord approaching the city
and sounds not the trumpet of warning to its inhabitants;
all will die and their blood will be on the Watchman's hands".

"Knew or should have known" are words stated in every personal injury
lawsuit and also in many criminal cases.

You always hear these words mentioned by the plaintiffs attorney or
the prosecuting attorneys directed at the defendants;
and so it should be.

The same should also be applied in the matters of "Event 91101".

Strange, before "Event 91101" and "The Patriot Act";
The F.B.I., The C.I.A., and the S.S.A., stated:
"they couldn't" share information with each other!

There are those agencies and personnel in authority who stated:
"they didn't know" because of this inability to "share information".

But check this out; if the President collects all of the information from:
The F.B.I. and The C.I.A. and The S.S.A, then it would seem that
President G.W. Bush and "His Administration" should have or
should have been able to put all of the "pieces" of the information
puzzle together and see the total picture, right?

Well not exactly!

What do you mean, not exactly?

What logical, acceptable excuse can "they" G. W. and "His Admin."
possibly produce?

Silence....a moment of:
For those who died and those who
have been cast into great despair,
as a result of "Event 91101";

Now is not the time to mark our losses with silence...
Now is the time to cry out loudly for them!

"WE SHALL NOT FORGET"

"REMEMBER THEM"

I say, "REMEMBER THEM IN TRUTH".

There has been and still is; great controversy concerning:
"Event 91101".

What is the "truthful answer" to the question:
"WHERE WERE THE WATCHMEN"?

I am Fran Cisco d Nostromo
I have spoken and Iwill speak again.
It's your turn now!
