- "Shock & Awe - Baghdad is Burning," "Beirut
Under Siege by Israel Again!" Lebanon is Leveled GAZA
continues to Burn; The Wall keeps growing while Palestine shrinks to
Nothing! What's next: "Teheran is Obliterated" "Damascus
is Destroyed"? Beirut is Back in the Stone-age?
-
- "How Quickly We Forget!" - Whose interests
do these crimes against the world really "serve"? Millions are
displaced as refugees, wandering between countries with no status and
only the clothes on their backs, while 'back home' the death tolls approach
millions of dead or desecrated by "American Interests." Have
we really become this vile, this narrow and this pig-headed, in just six
years? We wave a flag that has become heavy with the blood of innocent
people while nationally we speak of heroes, and sacrifice and being "number
one"! We're "Number One" alright, but not in any of the
things that count. If this keeps up the short and arrogant life of the
United States will be expunged from the history of the world as the most
heinous of nation states since Ghengis Khan destroyed the East in the
1200's.
-
- The headlines will keep on coming, but if what they herald
doesn't begin to change soon then nothing much will really matter
anymore. If we continue to forget even recent history, then we are destined
to repeat it all-with an intensely personal vengeance!
-
- America-incorporated has become an errant spendthrift
with a huge psychosis for violence as the only solution to every problem.
This is easily summed up by Rumsfeld in his infamous phrase: "War,
War, and Lots-More-War!" Speaking of which, Rummy that perpetual
Dream- Slayer of civilizations, is still on the job and hiding in plain
sight, according to Jack Blood.com:
-
- "Rumsfeld is still running the War Department
-
- A recent article in the Washington Times by Rowan Scarborough,
("Rumsfeld's transition raises questions" 1-25-07) confirms
that Rumsfeld has resurfaced in Arlington, VA and opened a "government-provided
transition office with 7 Pentagon-paid staffers working for him".
He is listed as a "nonpaid consultant" so he can continue to
"review secret and top-secret documents". As Scarborough aptly
notes, "Rumsfeld has left the Pentagon but not the Defense Department".
He is accompanied by his top aide, Stephen Cambone. The question this
raises, of course, is whether Rumsfeld is still calling the shots at the
Pentagon? My guess would be; Yes. The Rummy-resignation was just more-of-the-
same War Department hocus-pocus (psy-ops) There was never the slightest
possibility that Dick Cheney would take congress' disapproval of Rumsfeld's
performance seriously and throw him overboard. Rummy and Cheney are joined
at the hip; you can't dump one without the other. Consider Cheney's comments
just last week to fully appreciate his disdain for congress. When he was
asked about the senate resolution which rebukes the president for surging
more troops into Baghdad, Cheney sneered, "It won't stop us.""
-
- "How Quickly We Forget!" Do Americans give
a damn that the failed generals who 'administered this failed war-on-Iraq
will continue in the tradition of the "YES-Men" who serve not
the nation but the self-appointed Dictator? Congress continues to rubber-stamp
every move that is dictated to them without so much as a whimper, including
every new General-in-charge-of-Slaughter! In fact, to conclusively prove
"How Quickly We Forget" just look at the electorate in the battle
with American political hacks. In spite of two stolen presidential elections,
rigged ballot boxes, and the illegal-enemy's-lists drawn up by a paranoid
government the November elections saw both houses of congress change
hands in 2006: THAT was supposed to change everything! In fact it changed
NOTHING!
-
- "How Quickly We Forget!" True to form the same
hacks are back- touting the elections of 2008 as the new "solution'
to all of America's problems-despite the fact that thousands are dying
every month in Iraq and Afghanistan, along with hundreds of our own.
IF we had not already forgotten the elections of 2006 we would remember
that those elections were also supposed to have been the beginning of
real changes in this government and in our war policies. But Rummy is
still there doing his filthy thing, Bush is still spitting on the public's
demands for an end to his wars- and the media has whipped up about a dozen
candidates for president who are all SO seriously trolling for approval
about something that isn't going to happen for at least another eighteen
months. What do you say to the survivors of all the death that will happen
between now and then "We will deal with it, but only in the
next election"?
-
- "How Quickly We Forget!" The nation has been
waiting on medical care for everyone, no strings, no insurance, and no
exceptions for at least the last 50 years that I've been watching
this charade. The governor of California wants to force every Californian
to buy medical insurance, including the unemployed-but insurance is just
legalized extortion-what is needed is medical care, and not more income
streams for the already-rich! There are close to 50 million people who
are not covered by anything except their own poverty, and that number
is growing daily, while the politicians try to steer the plight of the
medically poor into the coffers of the Insurance Industry, and while hospitals
and clinics are closing at an unbelievable rate.
-
- "How Quickly We Forget!: The Billions upon Billions
that keep disappearing from the War Department's gifts to privatized-
industry, in those secret no-bid contracts: yet hundreds of thousands
are still waiting in New Orleans for help to resettle their lives-but
there is nothing at all from the US government, from FEMA or from any
official source that had a responsibility to RESPOND to a crisis that
happened in September of 2005! "No money" is the common refrain
and yet the Superdome was rebuilt, the museum-home of Robert E. Lee was
rebuilt, at the same time that the black population was being denied rental
assistance in those places to which they had been forcibly disbursed to:
from Alaska to Maine. Now government wants to bulldoze 5,000 livable apartments
because they sit on land that is too valuable for the poor to live on.
What this so-called government is doing to people is not confined to the
millions who are being destroyed overseas: It's happening everywhere HERE,
to the least of our own citizens who have been deemed worthless by this
government!
-
- "How Quickly We Forget!" This applies directly
to how we view the world, but most of all it should apply to what is really
meant by "American Interests." What are these interests! Are
they American, Israeli, Corporate or the founding principles of the New
World Order that includes all the aforementioned plus a few more of those
seriously-criminally-minded organizations to which the filthy- rich belong?
We are in a war that has been going on almost since the nation was founded
and we're losing, in case you might not have noticed. A friend,
visiting from Ireland, told me last night that he picked up an LA Times
and looked at the jobs section. "I couldn't believe it!" he
said. "What they're offering to pay is the same or worse than it
was ten years ago." And yet: "the bonuses going to the CEO's
and board members are in the 36% range. This increases their already staggeringly
out-of-control pay packages." We decided that the working side of
this equation needs a real revolution or we will soon cease to have the
means to even exist.
-
- "How Quickly We Forget!" that life is about
more than a simple race to the top of the economic ladder. Our schedules
for out pitiful lives are ridiculous, whenever a Katrina happens, or a
new Nuclear War breaks out but between events we are supposed to
begin to look at how much of this can be controlled. "How Quickly
We Forget." that we can throw the Treasonous-occupants in the White
House out of office. We can use the constitution to do that or we
can use the power of the people to do it. Either way, if we do NOT do
this, then those in power have already made it clear that they will lock
the doors to this cage that we've all been quietly living in since well
before 911.
-
- If we do not wake up and come to our senses, BEFORE the
bombs begin their annihilation of yet another capital and yet another
people then we shall have no need for memory because our lives shall
no longer be our own! It's still "Up-to-US" but for how much
longer can we really afford to continue to be so forgetful of everything
that really matters?
