War & What America
Doesn't Need: 'Domestic Security Enhancement'

'… and as a measure to secure enhancements which will, without doubt, provide an even further enhanced measure of Homeland Security for the American people against terrerersm.'

-- Bush State of the Union Address, 2005

LOS ANGELES -- March 11, 2003 -- A few years back when Americans didn't trust technology & politicians to resolve all their inconveniences, to solve all the problems in the world, to make them feel 'secure' at all times (physically and emotionally), back when Americans believed in God, back then, something like the Domestic Security Enhancement Act of 2003 would have seemed like fiction, like some horrible science fiction.

America 2003 begins to resemble the technoworld prophesied in so many sci-fi motion pictures of last century. And, in his ever-malleable post-September 11, 2001, realm, Bush the Younger presses to make this new sci-fi shocker, the Domestic Security Enhancement Act, a fact of life for all 21st-century Americans.

21st century America will be an America of Enhanced Security. This is due to the War on Terrorism, which, according to some commentators, will last for quite a while. The length of the War on Terrorism is undefined, as are its goals; the enemies in the War on Terrorism, the Terrorists, remain nebulous.

Terrorist-in-Chief TV Star Osama has mastered his deceitful, "cowardly" trade to such a point that he has learned to exist in suspension between life and death in some mysterious mountainous cave-dwelling. He is resurrected on occasion via VHS videocassette (only when necessary, of course) to offer curses upon America the Humble and to cast seeds of blessings over his fellow fiends.

This opposing force, Osama: Master of Poorly Translated Sound-Bite, has invaded the homes of the Homeland on many instances with his explosions of hate speech, his overly harsh critiques of our foreign interventions that confound Average American Consumer, his encouraging posture toward Evildoers, and his tiresome vows to bring America to her knees.

For over eighteen months now, the War on Terrorism has continued, shrouded in the deserts of central Asia, and filtered through the sieve of government silence and orchestrated propaganda concerts sold to viewers as '24-hour News.'

At the writing of this report, America is suffering from the constant confusion caused by nauseating stink bombs of pro- and anti-war propaganda lies and misrepresentation being tossed from the trenches of interested parties' (UN, USA, EU, WWP, Iraq) respective "Departments of Permitted Information."
A climax approaches …
