- The United States of America is about to murder, in cold
blood, a large number of hungry, ragged and generally debilitated human
beings. An enormous army of Techno-Goliaths is being launched halfway across
the world to demolish a poverty-stricken population with a dazzling display
of overwhelmingly inescapable death and destruction. The revolting
new policy of instantaneous mass death is being referred to as Shock and
Awe, but there is nothing new about it. ItÕs called a Blitzkrieg
and its pedigree is well known. And after as many mommies and daddies as
possible are torn limb from limb, and their children set on fire, we will
steal their last remaining natural resource. To prepare the way for outright
theft, our courageous military is sallying forth to make short work of
the lame, the halt, and the blind.
We are about to cruelly torture and destroy innumerable lives already brought
low by a coarse dictatorship, simply because we want what they have and
we have the firepower to take it. Ultimately, it is the citizens of this
nation who are collectively responsible for all of the unthinkable, unimaginable
agonies about to unfold. In our name, and with our tacit consent, our nation
is about to commit hideous atrocities so that We the People can continue
thoughtlessly to waste, for a short while longer, more energy and resources
than anyone else on earth ever has. It is easy to blame the disgusting
criminals in power, but nevertheless, the majority of Americans has
callously accepted this disastrous leadership. There was never anything
theoretically in the way of half the country marching on Washington and
demanding sanity Or Else.

- And yet there never really was the slightest chance that
this, the first of the Lifestyle Wars, would be prevented. To deflect the
American juggernaut on a downhill roll, a significant percentage of citizens
of this nation would have had to show up bodily on the streets of Washington,
and remove the wheels by hand. Sociopathic governments in search of sustenance
can only be stopped by overwhelming numbers of awakened citizens who recognize
the rankest form of brutalitarianism when it clubs them in the face. In
our case however, even the astonishing act of setting fire to the Bill
of Rights failed to register on the overall population. On the whole, Americans
donÕt care about anything at all except being as comfortable as
possible. We know this because if we did care, none of this would be allowed
to happen.
The raw greed and pathetically flimsy tissue of lies being offered as justification
for all this leaves a rational person stunned, in another form of Shock
and Awe. The architects of the new policy of Brutalitarian rule are counting
on the fact that most Americans are not rational, and have no desire to
think about the meaning of any of this. In this, the designers of this
new and deliberately terrifying Monstrous America are correct, so
far. As long as people sit in front of the perpetual hypnosis machines
and choose to pretend they donÕt really know what is happening,
then the Lifestyle Wars and state-sanctioned genocide in our behalf will
continue. The future of our once-noble country is apparently to
demand ever-larger piles of innocent human bodies to burn as
fuel for our standard of living. We will manage the incredible feat
of denial only by resolutely ignoring the obvious truth
and willingly believing the transparent lies of our despicable
leaders. Doesn't all this sound very familiar, historically speaking?
Yes, in chilling Shock and Awe, one must understand that it certainly
does.
