Words have meaning.In fact,words have many meanings
and when they are taken out of context,or stretched beyond credibility
they lose currency."Eliminationism"is not genocide.
"Terrorism "may be State-sponsored.And "Palestine "is an historic term.
Today is International Women's Day."Sharia" is questioned in France
as is "Scientology"in Germany.Adapted words have contexts-
"enhanced interrogation"@Bagram Air Force Base.
"extraordinary rendition"within the CIA,
"targeted assassinations"within Mossad.
Our pirate language grows to cover unresolved issues
"concealed weapons" to "open jacket"demonstrations
Language is stretched beyond cliche
"bombing the village to save the village"
"friendly fire""collateral damage"
This is us beneath these drones.First the language is sedated
"everything is going to be all right"
Next the massacres of meaning -"democracy" becomes"corporatism"
"Freedom" a feminine hygiene product
Dig deeper.Bodies unearthed-Iraq,Northern Ireland,Kampuchea
Tibet,Turkey,Chile...Before more is lost @too high a cost
ask yourself what is REALLY meant
when we are asked to accept an Official Secrets Act-
does that mean there ARE "Official Secrets"?
From Area 51 to September 11,Waco to Ruby Ridge
From Kenya to China to Russia-ask why these casualties of truth
are called"suspected "extremists-and who is next?
