In 1963, when asked for his thoughts about the death of President John F. Kennedy, civil rights activist Malcolm X replied that Kennedy's assassination was simply an example of "the chickens coming home to roost."
Naturally, in a nation infected with terminal myopia, Malcolm X's words generated both controversy and outrage. But more than a decade later, after hearings in the United States Congress revealed that governmental agencies, on both the local and national levels, had participated in or encouraged the assassinations of both foreign "enemies," and American citizens (the Central Intelligence Agency [CIA] had even dubbed one of its assassination squads a "Health Alteration Committee"), the prophetic nature of Malcolm X's words became evident: A nation that uses assassination as a political tool against others should not be surprised when the same tool is directed against it.
But in the wake of the Bush dictatorsh's coup of 2000 and the corruption-ridden "election" of 2004, the chickens have again come home to roost in America. A nation that has incessantly imposed and/or propped up fraudulent democracies throughout the world has finally become a fraudulent democracy itself, controlled by the machinations of a cabal of corrupt oligarchs who satiate Americans with the illusion of "voting," while ensuring their preordained puppets are installed into office.
