The Reason Andrew Stack’s Crashed His Plane

I can’t believe what’s being said, and not said, on the news about Andrew Stack flying his plane into an office building Austin, Tx. that housed IRS offices on Thursday. I expected it to be just about all that would be on the news for the rest of the day yesterday and today. But instead I’ve heard a lot more about Tiger Woods news release apologizing for his sexual transgressions. I’m surprised that it isn’t being called a terrorist attack. But it isn’t. Instead it is being characterized as an act by a disgruntled nut with a grudge against the IRS. I expected to hear the most extreme Neocons shouting loudly that it is an example of Obama’s failure to protect America from terrorist attack. But so far none of them has even mentioned it.

The talking heads on TV are saying Stack was mad at the IRS for what he considered unfair treatment. But if you read the statement he made and posted to his blog it wasn’t the IRS. It is with the entire U.S. Government. He was disillusioned by the way they treat the average citizen and the way they favor those who are extremely wealthy. He clearly states that the government doesn’t care at all about him or people like him. He goes so far as to say that there is no congressman that has ever cast a vote for the common citizen. He saw that the government is the instrument of the very rich and has no interest in the population other than as it can be used by the rich to increase their wealth and power. He saw it very clearly and worked tirelessly to bring about change until he became discouraged that anything short of his act of suicide, and probably even that, would be futile.

If you think the powers that be could allow the idea to be expressed that Andrew Stack was on to the truth, dream on sucker! There is no way! So they are using Tiger Woods apology as a smoke screen to hide the truth and as a red herring to distract us from it. They do that with the TV news coverage whenever they don't want us to know something. If the American people ever wake up to the truth about who the government serves we will probably revolt as our forefathers did when the British Crown failed to protect the colonists from exploitation by the corporations and instead only gave the corporations more power over them.

Andrew Stack is a canary in a coal mine. He is a wake up call for the government and those who control it. Our leaders will do well not to ignore or bury Stack’s real story or try to minimize it like they’re doing. They would do well to address the problem and rain in the power of the corporations to control the government. The government needs to start acting on behalf of the masses. Andrew Stack was not an isolated case. He was only one of many, a growing number of individuals, who see the truth of how things are in America and aren’t going to be mollified by rhetoric. There are storm clouds gathering on the horizon. It is a storm that will sweep away the old despotic regime as out forefathers did and replace it with a new government that will serve the people first. I hope when it comes it armed insurrection as was necessary with out forefathers. I hope it takes the form of a massive grassroots movement that votes out those in office who hold to the old ways and replaces them with ones who will give us government of the people, by the people and for the people.
