- The world outside the US is now getting used to the fact
Americans have a fraudulently elected nitwit as their president, but George
W. Bush excelled himself this past week with a "long-awaited"
definitive speech on Middle East policies that stretched even the weirdest
imaginations...
-
- US embassies around the world moved to "explain"
the batty future Bush saw for Israel and Palestine, but nothing could disguise
that the bedbug was running the White House and anything could happen next.
-
- Hey, look. Even Tom Cruise is worried. In London this
week he said he wanted his adopted kids brought up outside the USA because
of what happens inside the USA. He listed terrorism and street crime, but
very cogently he listed corporate crime as a reason not to bring up kids
in the old US of A.
-
- Now, Tom Cruise is not a Grade A rocket scientist. In
fact, he is a Grade A Scientologist. On the whole, though, I would say
he was brighter than George W. Bush (along with my neighbour's catatonic
cat) and it was most intriguing that he named corporate crime as a reason
not to want to grow up in America.
-
- The WorldCom affair comes after the Enron affair while
the Andersen affair simply defies belief. It has become perfectly clear
that major US corporations have been running out of control, throwing billions
of dollars into a kind of international financial black hole.
-
- In vain you ask (as I tried to do), well, where has the
money gone? I mean, if you back a loser at Randwick, then you know where
your money went. If these companies have lost billions - $US3.8 billion
in the case of WorldCom - why hasn't somebody won it? Or got it? Where
has it gone? Or, more to the point, did it ever exist?
-
- Of course it did, said the Doormouse. Otherwise, it could
never have been lost and 17,000 people sacked for the lack of it. This
is Alice in Wonderland stuff, capitalism rattling around like a high-velocity
round in a mental vacuum. Where was government? Where was control?
-
- Twenty years ago, when I lived in Washington, the US
was said to have a trillion-dollar-a-day economy that was so strong not
even government could screw it. Now, you have to ask if things have turned,
that apparent fraudsters like WorldCom can screw government.
-
- Dubya Bush seems reluctant to address these issues. He
is a Texan (although not by breeding) and there they let things take their
course, execute mentally deficient minors, and generally behave like good
old boys, taking the Chevy to the levee.
-
- If it were not for September 11, Bush would be in serious
political trouble in America. He may be yet, in the mid-term November elections.
His shocked nation rallied around him as the personification of The Flag
when the atrocities stunned us all. His personal rating broke all records.
-
- Since then, though, what? On this side of the Atlantic
he is seen as a kind of strange joke. Britons try to understand him, but
in Europe they simply think of him as a sort of circus act. The Middle
East pronouncement was so absurd they didn't know whether to laugh or simply
ask the US senior political attache over for a commiserating drink.
-
- These concerns are based on the belief - that seems to
be proven - that Washington itself is a divided city. Colin Powell, in
State, is trying to plead reason over the clamouring voices in Defence,
led by Donald Rumsfeld, clearly a man not always entirely in control of
his senses.
-
- Bush is listening to Rumsfeld, and other strange voices
- not least the Israeli Prime Minister, Ariel Sharon. And, as he does,
the US looks more and more to be a long way away from the rest of the world.

- As Ronald Reagan would elegantly state, "Here we
go again..." Yet another America-hating left winger decides to wave
his socialistic banner around by slandering the American President. The
tactic is an old and familiar one-support your argument with innuendos
and Ad hominem "opinions" if only because the argument cannot
be substantiated in truth or otherwise presented in a manner that invites
constructive thought.
-
- Mr. Wilson's commentary on the US, and President Bush
in particular, is clearly at the behest of the Global forces that find
America in the way towards their agenda. Perhaps Mr.. Wilson feels that
Al Gore should of omitted the military absentee votes in Florida (as he
so tried to do), and won this state and the Presidency. Perhaps Mr..
Wilson can look up to and admire an American President such as Bill Clinton,
whom desecrated the White House with his perverted behaviors and questionable
liaisons that caused much damage to our country and image.
-
- Yes, let us only deal with facts Mr.. Wilson. Tell
us about England's socialistic policies that have disarmed the civilians
and created crime sprees that the UN refused to acknowledge in any anti-gun
legislation or statistics. Tell us about wanting surveillance equipment
to follow every move of your law abiding (or frightened) English citizens.
Ask anyone in Australia if their better off with the socialistic policies
being pushed in their country.
-
- Yes, Mr. Wilson, the world does hate America and for
many reasons. We as a country are the last foothold between the global
elitist and individual freedom loving people. We have our problems and
we are going to prevail. Your arguments are as shallow as the socialistic
solutions being pushed by the UN, which I confidently believe that you
support.
-
- We are at war Mr. Wilson. Not only with the ones who
hurt us on September 11, but with those who seek to derail the American
way of life. You know the story Mr.. Wilson: Global taxes, UN policies
that makes Mother's Day illegal, Environment protocols that destroys economies
and so on. We are at war, Mr. Wilson, with people like you who spew their
venom as if they have some superior perception of what is happening in
this country, which you do not. The pulse of this country is changing
and it's not looking good for freedom-hating hypocrites like you.
-
- You questioned President Bush's popularity here in the
States and you feel it is due to 9-11. Let this Texan (not by breeding,
but by choice) set you straight. Europeans want the US taxpayer to pay
at the same rate as your socialistic countries. The fact that we do not,
burns you to no end and this President's popularity is driven by a diminishing
middle class that sees what this man is trying to save....us. You hate
us because of what we are and what we can accomplish-and have accomplished.
-
- BTW, people like Tom Cruise, Barbara Striesand, Alec
Baldwin, and others, have no conception of life in mainstream America
or what it takes to survive. Haven't you read the polls Mr. Wilson? Americans
couldn't care less what these people think anymore. They don't speak for
us. Hey, at least I'm not paying 4 pounds for a liter of gas, pal.
