The Cheney/Rumsfeld Doctrine

A core doctrine of Strausian Neoconservatism is that if you are unwilling to use the power you have then you do not deserve to have that power. Use it or lose it.

Neocons have used this concept along with loyalty to the power-base (and the rewarding therof) to extend their political power--and now in its extension--their miltary power.

Those who would openly subvert the electoral process of our nation behind a facade of legality erected by stonewalling the truth, will not relinquish power voluntarily ... particularly when they would face prison if the truth comes out under our structure of the separation of governmental powers.

The leaders now in power will have to do something outside the electoral process to retain their power ... and they have proven themselves willing to do exactly that more than once.

Students of history understand this as the progressive process of an elitist cabal that decided--after Hitler came to power through a democratic process in Germany--that the masses could never again be fully trusted with the future of a powerful nation.

In this light, the military report on controlling the telecom spectrum commissioned by Rumsfeld is more than sobering. It should be a wake-up call to we the people.
