Bye Bye Miss American Pie

I get the distinct feeling that America has been written off and is being sold off to the highest bidder (real estate-infrastructure). These past few decades have seen an exodus of livable wage jobs and industry to foreign lands. Once upon a time- a man working in a steel mill, auto plant, mfg job could support his family and see his children off to college to better themselves. This is no longer possible working at minimum wage ­ stagnant wages, in the prison industry (our fastest growing), Wal-Mart, Home Depot, or making snow! (Wal-Mart largest employer in NH)
 
 
 
 
Yesterday's news (CNN) reported that 30 miles outside the Beltway, there is little attention paid to the citizens concerns ­ that it's the 'lobbyists who are the overlords'! There is a great exodus of corporate businesses to the Arab Emirates. Dubai, Halliburton's destination, is one of seven. It's convenient that this is a tax haven (they making billions off Iraq war ­ and no extradition treaty) Most uninformed Americans, if they think of these lands at all (not to be confused with Saudi Arabia ­ an impossible place of control), imagine a backward place of camels and nomadic tribes. I don't think so!
 
 
 
300 private islands are being built. You can have your own private island with villa from $10million to $36 million (chicken feed when you're worth billions).
 
While America is rusting away, OIL money, thanks to the war, has this area awash in billions. They are investing these multi- billions in profits building themselves a global city of the future. Most of the population is expatriates (European- Westerners) who enjoy luxurious lifestyles; absent decaying tenements, polluting chemical plants, millions of unemployed, rusting mill towns, and Wal-Mart junk stores. Western style dress, churches, country clubs, yacht clubs, corporate (tax free zone) headquarters, and a housing boom; is the order of the day, real estate in America goes belly up. OH, I forgot, finally Congress is thinking of holding HEARINGS on predatory lenders (per usual a day late and a dollar short). Numerous corporate headquarters are moving to this Utopia ­ as millions of immigrants, driven from Mexico, due to a FAILED NAFTA treaty are seeking work in America for slave wages. Meantime, with all of our bluster, we can't build a levee, or adequate housing for the millions of dispossessed ­ Super Power nation that we are. Instead, our BILLIONS are being spent on, not construction, or quality of life issues, but on melting bombs, tanks, missiles, napalm, and depleted uranium weaponry; that will leave invaded lands (citizens & military personnel) poisoned. Depleted uranium, used because, "it cuts through metal like butter" has a half life of 4.5 billion years! Let's look at the difference between expenditures on a future global city and the state of America!
 
 
 
Note Dubai is not selling off its highways to foreign interests because they can no longer maintain them ­ which are what's happening in America!
 
 
 
Dubai Palace entryway (walls covered in gold leaf)
 
City streets are safe to walk on at any time of night without the fear of a 101 year old woman (New York) being mugged for $33.00 or children being abducted by depraved perverts (no Amber Alert ­ Danger Stranger here)
 
 
 
Skeletal ruins of industry are the norm across America
 
 
 
 
The first things to be rebuilt in the Gulf region were the casinos ­ while the multitudes are still homeless in 2007.
 
 
 
America is decaying and left to ruination
 
 
 
 
With no disaster plan for the citizens (there are bunkers for the chosen) a crisis sees them hungry, thirsty, and homeless (with the media blaming the victims in many cases!) Right, like the citizens are responsible for a levee system built by an incompetent Army Corp of Engineers, that (never updated) only meets a Category 2 hurricane (with billions of $ unaccounted for)! Of course with Louisiana the most corrupt state in the Union ­ little wonder multitudes drowned!
 
 
 
 
Millions of American farms are gone; replaced with corporate farms and their genetically altered crops ­ with factory dairy, chicken, and hog farms ­ places of impossible filth and disease!
 
 
 
 
Meantime Dubai ­ not spending its billions on weapons of destruction, is readying itself for the rats jumping ship in America with their ill-gotten gains.
 
 
 
With no 'news' whose to know, that the EPA sees NO problem in seeing the mountains of West Virginia destroyed, in what's called Mountain-top removal (for coal veins). To date a quarter of this state's mountains have been destroyed ­ and who, besides the folks in West Virginia are protesting?
 
 
 
 
Those who dare to speak out are quickly silenced
 
 
 
Back from Iraq, with millions made from defective vests; a military contractor held a $10 million dollar party in New York for his daughter!
 
 
 
 
 
Back in the 70s & 80s, people were encouraged to get their children a high tech education, with the industrial age ending (shipped abroad). Now in 2007 these jobs are being outsourced or employees are being replaced with H1-B skilled visa workers (voted by Congress) who will work for half the wages (no pensions, no health insurance, and no vacations).
 
 
 
 
Veterans make do in tents down by the river ­ no photo opportunities here for politicians, or those supporting war hanging yellow ribbons or putting yellow stickers (made in CHINA) on their bumpers!
 
 
 
Meantime off Dubai --- the oil money keeps pouring in.
 
 
 
 
Across America, factories are shuttered, with gray haunted men being told by Washington to retrain as programmers or nurse's aids (true).
 
 
 
As in Gulf War I ­ the offspring of the wealthy oil sheiks are spending their leisure in a huge indoor ski slope. Gulf War I saw them take off for the French Rivera while American youth fought for their protection. It's no different today, with our military protecting oil fields, now (not on news) that the new hydro-carbon law is in place, giving the great part of these oil fields (not to Iraqi citizens) to private oil companies ( billions of untapped reserves). And you thought it was for 'liberation or democracy'!
 
If you repeat a lie long enough most everyone will believe it.
 
 
 
 
War for tens of thousands of our maimed and brain damaged veterans, will last a lifetime ­ a lifetime of having to be RATED for disability, and trying to maneuver through a governmental maze of impossible bureaucracy. It's never ceased to amaze me, that politicians ( we pay 72% of their premium costs) don't have to beg for medical care ­ nor are they RATED when it comes time for their obscene pensions (with yearly cost of living increases).
 
 
 
 
And the people sang, "Bye Bye Miss American Pie"..JM
