- Helicopters (made in U.S.A.) flying over despairing,
barren, enclosed camps where Palestinian people are herded and made to
exist (not live) in the most abject of disease, squalor and fear, had a
family blown to smithereens and children playing in the dusty street. Bombs
that erupt in mid-air throwing out metal nail missiles. No last frantic
rush to fill picnic hampers here,or load the car up for that last fun-filled
day at the beach or backyard family get together with the Aunts, Uncles,
and cousins regaling one another with the past year's successes in business
or new land/oil/gas deals, cooking up steaks, and slides of the last trip
abroad. No, these people cannot leave their homes for weeks on end let
alone think of relocating their families to sanity.
-
- Alexander Haig (big wheeler-dealer Chinese businessman
now) on some talk show, deranged in his ranting over needed war on Iraq.."It'll
be like a knife through soft butter after we soften'em up". A callous,
demented, reference to massive bombing of Iraqi people and then march in
and slaughter them from street to street!! Of course Haig and his ilk in
their seventies and eighties won't be marching their sorry asses anywhere.
The usual voyeurs to life's mayhem, suffering, famine, maiming and vaporizing
of the multitudes (human resources-simpletons-herd-masses), they're just
there to rake in the loot from the oil/gas/minerals/water/lands and forests.
Who dies is none of their concern! Not them or theirs is all they know
and what else matters??
-
- Echoing factories, farms foreclosed on, steel mills silenced,
fishing ports and ship building, now phantom specters from some bygone
era, leave multitudes scrambling for McJobs, Texaco, Cumberland Farms,
Staples, Home Depot, or Wal-Mart greeter. The elderly no longer able to
retire; after what the elite describe as lives misused in, "drinking,
gambling, and carousing" are now working as check out clerks and baggers
at your local grocery stores. Loans for college cut to fund the military
complex, fathers and mother's unemployed, that college fund having to be
used for living necessities; the young if not imprisoned in our growing
private prison industry (approx one person in 35 in this country in prison,
on parole or probation--------no, not Enron et al), are now, with the usual
conditioning of, ' see the world, have fun, adventure, that education you
dreamed of;' are enticed with glitzy multi-million funded promotional buses;
touring high-schools and colleges snaring the young, naive and impressionable;
whose neighbors, friends or relatives are other occupied, or too self-absorbed
to take the time to educate the young in their midst, their neighborhoods,
and maybe save a life, or an existence of pain and mental suffering if
such a one indeed returns. Big business counts on this apathy and this
indifference. The Piper with his military music leads the young from small
town hamlets and inner city ghetto with nary a glance from those on Peace
Lines, protesting war's horrors! Blunted, deadened, detached, emotionally
removed, isolated, alienated one from another; today's society has become
cocooned and separated from the whole of humanity; shutting down and out
in fear, apathy, confusion or cavalier indifference?? "What happens
to the other one is none of my concern'". Imagine a 21st century with
man lauding himself on all of his wondrous advancements in medicine and
technology; reaching the outer regions of space; gassing, vaporizing, slaughtering,
beating, and torturing other humans?? Insanity reigns and the inmates shuffle
from one extravaganza or experience to the next; oblivious !!!

- Wow Judith!
-
- Girl you've just got to quit holding back, you're going
to have to start opening up and say what you have to say :=).
-
- Nice job Judith, you just gave every sleeping, money
drunk, pleasure drunk, politically and spiritually ignorant American a
double barreled slap in the face, a very much needed slap. Will it do any
good? I fear not. Ninety percent of the hypnotized sheep don't have a clue
as to what you are talking about. Another nine percent are so brainwashed
and used to Uncle S telling them when to eat, when to sleep, what to eat,
when to go to the bathroom, whom to vote for, etc., that if a real, actual,
verifiable thought passed through their minds they would probably succumb
to a brain hemorrhage.
-
- The one percent that is on top of the extreme evil going
on throughout our country and government have what might be termed as an
insurmountable job on our hands in just attempting to awaken a part of
the masses. The really sad, and dangerous part is, most do not wish to
know what is going on. If they did, it might pressure them to ask questions,
admit to themselves that something is dreadfully wrong in River City.
-
- In the flight game there is a term (or used to be) called
the EDP, or equal distance point. This is that point in flight where you
only have enough fuel to either turn around and go back, or make the decision
to press onward, especially critical when crossing vast amounts of water
or rugged uninhabitable terrain. I believe with all my heart, observing
attitudes, lack of public knowledge of political actions, the present moral
decline and breakdown of society, the present economy, and the continual
non thinking "war mentality," that America has passed the EDP
and there is no turning back.
-
- To make matters worse, America has developed a serious
fuel leak (lack of directional resources) and can't possibly continue on
to a safe destination, her destiny is almost predictable. Just as no man
is above the law, or authorized to take the law into his own hands, neither
is any nation above the law or authorized to take the law into its own
hands. This includes the most powerful nation on earth, a nation fully
capable ofo, and God only knows where, and God only knows why? Neither
can American's constantly live in a state of government induced fear and
uncertainty designed to keep us subservant and at the command of the war
lords. Are there any sound minds left in Washington? For want of a nail
a shoe was lost......for want of a brain a nation was lost, you know the
story.
-
- There are so many things I fail to understand. For example,
in America we have what is called a "war on drugs," what a joke.
If our government applied the same totalitarian/police state procedures
on drug imports as they do on American's boarding airplanes due to 9-11,
the drug problem would be virtually eliminated over night. If they can
locate and confiscate a child's toy GI Joe plastic gun, surely they can
stop drug imports. Yet we send military troops to Afghanistan and help
them reestablish the largest drug output and economy on earth. What in
the world am I missing here? Duh! The "enemy" from Afghanistan
is now supposed to be in Iraq, yet we maintain a strong military presence
near all that oil in the basin near Afghanistan. Now is it the oil, or
is it the terrorist bin Laden? I am totally confused. Since America can't
clearly prove weapons of mass destruction in Iraq as a "moral"
issue for war (as if there were a "moral" issue for war), now
we have placed that old nemesis bin Laden in or near Iraq.
-
- Thank you, Judith, for your compassion for humanity,
your "almost lone" voice in the wilderness. The power and honesty
of your article was exceeded only by your apparent frustration at the entire
scenario. If only sane minds could prevail, if only we had leaders who
represented the American people, the working class, the average Joe on
the street. If only the American people could regain that power which has
been usurped over the years by the rich and powerful and once again govern
themselves. Those days are history, the name of the game henceforth is
called POWER, CONTROL, WEALTH, or to sum it up in one descriptive acronym,
NWO.
-
- Stay on the firing line Judith, sometimes a voice in
the dark screaming mercy, help, listen, awaken, can do far more than legislative
or congressional bodies, especially considering what we have today.
-
- God bless you lady. God bless Rep. McKinny and Rep. Barr
from the "Masonic" State of Georgia, two of the only true American
political patriots left in the country that didn't sell out, crucified
as they were (surprise, surprise, surprise). Their names will be forever
written in the universal halls of supreme sacrifice and courage, those
cowards responsible for their crucifixion will be placed in the seas of
shame and forgetfulness forever.
