11 Feb 2006 Ike knew a thing or two about war, American government, and our nascent military-industrial complex. Eisenhower worried, but we weren’t paying attention – at least in 1961. When asked why he made the film, Jarecki said, “Americans [today] have a visceral sense that something is rotten, but no-one can seem to connect the dots….

The Battle of Athens, Tennessee As Recently As 1946, American Citizens Were Forced To Take Up Arms As A Last Resort Against Corrupt Government Officials.
Published in Guns & Ammo October 1995, pp. 50-51

For years they had asked for state or federal election monitors to prevent vote fraud (forged ballots, secret ballot counts and intimidation by armed sheriff's deputies) by the local political boss.

Newsweek Feb. 6, 2006 issue - Strangely enough, we may look back on Thursday, Jan. 26, 2006, as the day America found its moral compass, long buried at the bottom of the national dirty-linen bag. To win the midterm elections in November, the Democrats, whose motto might as well be "So Lame for So Long," will need to make sure the country focuses on that compass. By "moral" I'm not talking just about the "culture of corruption" in Washington. I'm talking about restoring a reasonable respect for at least minimum standards of truth.

Associated Press February 13, 2006 CHICAGO - Six inmates who escaped from jail were back in custody after the final two fugitives surrendered early Monday, ending a standoff at an apartment where they sought refuge with a woman and five children. No one was injured.
Their escape late Saturday - which began when an inmate threw hot, soapy water in the face of a lone guard at a jail shower - was the second in two days at the Cook County Jail, which officials said was short-staffed. |
