- It's SUPERBOWL Sunday, yet for Americans there will be
no 'overtime-saving of the home team.'
-
- The Bells-of History are also tolling, and the whistle
is about to be blown on a game that too many don't even know is being
played. While we've been sleep-walking through what is going into its
fifth year: most Americans are still being sucker-punched, lied to, and
spit upon and all at the same time! Welcome to the Wonderful World of
the International Bankers, and to their New World Order, where only they
can profit. Let's peek at the matrix of how this has worked for them,
while it's been steadily killing so many of us.
-
- When we went to war it was about continuing a policy
that was set out for us, long before 2000. The policy was ambitious. It
sought to lay siege to the United States, to slash our ability to earn
from "the living" that many tried to continue with; while our
values were further eroded along with those "opportunities"
that 'America' had once been so famous for. That portion of the policy
has succeeded beyond anyone's wildest expectations. The herd that is the
public has remained a docile flock, with no sign yet that any rams will
appear to alter the direction or the intensity of the herd. Some of the
details are . . .
-
- War-Profiteering has skyrocketed. The secret contracts
for weapons systems and equipment appears to constitute artificially inflated
prices that are devouring the budgets, giving massive unearned profits
to the manufacturers, while leaving the troops without even the basics.
This combined with non-leadership at every level is not only FAILING to
support-the-troops: but is actually leaving the troops as sitting ducks
in a war-zone that has no front lines, and that knows no rules of engagement!
How does this callous disregard for the facts-on-the-ground not constitute
a dereliction of duty in a time of war by the Commander-in-Chief himself?
- This from the San Francisco Chronicle today: "Not
only did the deployment last much longer than the military leaders had
expected, but the cost of equipment and training has also skyrocketed.
As the conflict continued, the cost of basic equipment helmets,
rifles and body armor more than tripled, from $7,000 in 1999 to
$25,000 last year, the Wall Street Journal reported in December. The cost
of a humvee, once unarmored, has grown seven-fold, to about $225,000
from $32,000 in 2001. As a result of rising costs, the purchases of basic
equipment lagged."
-
- "A typical soldier shows up in Iraq without the
knowledge of the language, without the knowledge of the people,"
said Loren Thompson, defense analyst at the Lexington Institute, a centrist
think tank in Arlington, Va. "If he also isn't experienced with his
unit or with his weapon, that maximizes the potential for disaster."
-
- A survey conducted by the Defense Department Inspector
General's Office last spring found that U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan
lack sufficient armored vehicles, heavy weapons such as artillery or
large machine guns, devices designed to jam signals used to detonate roadside
bombs, and communications equipment. As a result, they are sometimes forced
to put off operations while they wait for equipment, according to the
classified report, a summary of which the Defense Department made public
on Tuesday.
-
- "They don't have enough humvees, they don't have
enough (armored) trucks," Ortiz, who chairs the Readiness Subcommittee
at the House Armed Services Committee, told The Chronicle. "It's
getting to the point when they have to share the equipment."
-
- For example, the flat bottoms of the humvees do not deflect
the blasts from roadside bombs and instead direct them into the trucks
in a way that maximizes the potential damage from the blast to the troops
inside. The military is planning to buy thousands of new armored mine-protected
vehicles, known as cougars and buffaloes, whose V-shaped hulls deflect
blasts from beneath. Lt. Gen. Stephen Speakes, the Army's top supply officer,
told the Baltimore Sun that military commanders in Iraq have asked for
at least 6,465 such vehicles. But these vehicles would not reach Iraq
until March 2008, military officials told the House Armed Services Committee
last month." (1)
-
- The Dictator stopped talking about "a civil war"
about the same time that he told congress he was "open to debate
about the war" now going into its fifth year. Pelosi, speaking
on cue, offered her lines of superfluous co-operation, rather than challenging
the failed Commander-in-Chief for his dereliction of duties, or for the
waste of hundreds of thousands of lives without any justification. Pelosi's
words about the 'Spirit of Bi- partisanship' is not only false, it's the
wrong approach AGAIN!
-
- The public knows that there is no opposition party in
this congress, therefore the "bipartisanship" she speaks of
aligns her with the Dictator and his failures, rather than offering any
real way out of the morass which the congress and the Dictator have created
for the nation. Add to this the privatizing of this government that is
now in full swing. This from the New York Times yesterday:
-
- "In June, short of people to process cases of incompetence
and fraud by federal contractors, officials at the General Services Administration
responded with what has become the government's reflexive answer to almost
every problem. They hired another contractor.
-
- It did not matter that the company they chose, CACI International,
had itself recently avoided a suspension from federal contracting; or
that the work, delving into investigative files on other contractors,
appeared to pose a conflict of interest; or that each person supplied
by the company would cost taxpayers $104 an hour. Six CACI workers soon
joined hundreds of other private-sector workers at the G.S.A., the government's
management agency.
-
- Without a public debate or formal policy decision, contractors
have become a virtual fourth branch of government." (2)
-
- The above are some of the smaller points which the Matrix
of power- politics has recently intensified. But to grasp what's going
on behind the scenes-we must understand the motives of the Council on
Foreign Relations (CFR), combined with the twelve independently and foreign-owned
member banks one of which is the Federal Reserve which is not a
federal government institution but is privately owned: This goes back
to 1913 and the Night-before-Christmas theft of the power to print our
own money. It's an ugly story, but it's what has brought us to what is
only the beginning of a never- ending war, that will end this nation and
murder this Republic, once and for all. (3)
-
- And finally - There was a recent Revolution in the USA
and that Revolution was televised. On December 12, 2000 the US government
held its own coup and the public bought it because there was no
public outcry over the stolen election or the appointment of George W.
Bush by the Supreme Court. The congress, wishing not-to-get- involved decided
that they didn't need to act: So the Supreme Court got away TREASON and
Congress became part of that crime and yet we have continued from that
day to this as if that coup never happened!
-
- Still - Every single thing that has happened from that
day to this HAS BEEN ILLEAGAL - maybe that's why no-one particularly cares
about how illegal anything is anymore? Hence the government's continuing
series of CRIMES against all of us. It's more than clear that we've all
been had-BIGTIME! What is less clear is how much the public is willing
to do to end this farce! How many more people will be slaughtered so that
the public can watch the SUPERBOWL untroubled by the sounds of that doomsday
clock that moves inexorably on; to that moment-not-yet-announced: when
it all comes crashing down on the innocent and the guilty with equal
vengeance!
