- This is an 'election year' in this country and yet the
voters have not even glanced at the fourteen point eight trillion dollar
ghost of the wars: Wars that have stolen everything that anyone really
cares about and that have directly blocked every attempt to fix anything
that is wrong in this society. So WHY are the wars and the costs of these
unilateral and illegal invasions of other countries not front and center
in this current selection process?
-
- The image above if it had been on the front pages
of every newspaper in the nation as the core of what this government
ought to concerned with would radically alter; not just what this so-called
election ought to be about but it would force the public to actually consider
the hidden moral dilemmas' that have been banned from all the public discussions
in the media at all levels.
-
- Arundhati Roy said: "Pity the nation which has to
silence its writers for speaking their minds. Pity the nation that has
to jail those who ask for justice, while communal killers, mass murders,
corporate scamsters, looters, rapists and those who prey upon the poorest
of the poor roam free. "(1)
-
-
-
-
-
- Arundhati could have easily been speaking about this
country and how our Director of Intelligence, as the figurehead who acts
for our own shadow government, now holds sway over every aspect of this
so-called society. If this selection is held without weighing the true
costs of these wars which currently stands at: $14.8 trillion then
this society is finished as anything but the totally controlled police
state that we have become!
-
- How can the public pretend to hold an election where
the single largest problem we have, and have had since 2001, is not even
be mentioned much less talked about? It's easy if every aspect of
the process has been bought off; from the polls to the hollow-shells of
the largest political parties that between them offer no choice at all
regardless of who "wins" this criminal-farce that was built
upon the total charade of American politics at a time when literally
the future of the entire Republic and the world hangs in the balance!
-
- The native-nations that lived here before the white-man
came were sixty-million strong, before the war that killed 59 million of
them. In the world the United States began life with a head start on mass-murder,
long before Stalin or Hitler began to do what they did to those people
they slaughtered. In the annuals of history when you add in all the additional
deaths of all those added to these body counts by people like LBJ, Kissinger,
Gerald Ford, Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, George HW Bush, Bill Clinton,
George W. Bush and now Obamanation the totals of the dead are unimaginable.
This is why what we did to those people that predated our arrival here
is important.
-
- A tribal-elder of today made this observation: "Of
the one hundred dominant economic units in the world today the hundred
largest 'economic units,' that's the word they used "units."
Forty-nine are countries and 51 are corporations. Now, digest that for
a second; what does that mean? It means that corporations are the driving
force of decision-making today. And corporations are not concerned with
human rights, they're not concerned with human-life, they're not even concerned
with a proper-wage for the people that are working for them. So what kind
of decisions are gong to be made on our behalf this economic power,
these corporate states I call them?
-
- There's going to be hell-to-pay for some of the things
that are going on now. So I think that people have to become aware and
become awake - power is always in the people's hands. They [the people]
need to challenge the values that are being shoved at them today, because
this has become a consumer society. It's driven by economics; it's not
driven by common sense, its economics. Everybody should be their own leader,
in other words do your own thinking for yourself." (2)
-
- "The leadership that we're looking for has to come
from business. Very, very important now because business now carries more
authority and they carry the economics of the world. Today we're bound
together much closer than we were a thousand years ago we're
neighbors and we're bound together by electronics and we're bound together
by technology and the world has become "a market." And it's this
'market' that we have to deal with. And it's this idea of boundless and
endless 'resources.'
-
- The functions of the world itself functions on natural
law. The natural law is a powerful regenerative process and is endless
it's absolutely endless if everyone agrees to the law and follows
the law. But if you challenge the law, and you think you're going to change
the law; then you're bound to failure. And in that failure will be a lot
of pain because the natural law has no mercy, it is only the law.
-
- The earth is all-powerful, it wasn't made here for human
beings, it's that we're part of it; but we don't have to be here because
the earth has its own process. And if it comes to the point where you destroy
yourself as human beings and you destroy life and finally leave this earth:
- The earth's not going to disappear. There's not going
to be an end-of-the-world. ~ The world's not going to end, people's life
on it will: So it's not the end-of-the-world you're talking about
it's the end of us. And the world, no matter what damage you think you've
done to it will regenerate! It will regenerate, re-green, it will re-do
everything that was here at one time, except there won't be any people.
It's got all the time in the world.
-
- . . . You are on your horse as you're coming down towards
the finish, and there is the stone wall and you're not pulling (reining
in) your horse. You're not stopping, you're in fact accelerating and you're
losing your options every day. The elder was speaking to some corporate
types about all this and when he questioned one of them he said: "I
know what you're saying. To answer your question No we can't 'pull
our horse' as you say he said: We have to show a profit. As a CEO I must
show a profit; if I don't show a profit I'm fired. It's as simple as that,
if I don't show a profit I'm fired.
-
- I said 'To who'? He said to you, the stockholder. I said:
Well, are you married? He said yes I am. I said do you have children? He
said yes I do. I said do you have any grandchildren? Yes I have two boys.
I said; When do you cease to be a CEO and become a grandfather?
- There was a lot of silence there because that was a moral
question; and if you don't have a moral question in your governing process
then you don't have a process that's going to survive. That's the governing
law the moral question. You must have a moral society or you
won't have any. He couldn't answer the question and neither could anyone
else: because there was a moral question. That's what we have to get back
to! (3)
-
- This selection is not about moral questions,
it's become just another rearrangement of the chairs on the deck of the
sinking ship of state; because we cannot face the moral dilemmas that we
have been creating since this nation theoretically began its criminal-path
toward global colonialism. Capitalism played its part, no question, just
as the default we chose to fall back to has been the global-controls enforced
by greed, arrogance and the created artificial terror of the global war
machines that we have allowed to rule over all our lives. All of this functions
only because we have not demanded an end to the financing of these unspeakable
polices that seek to destabilize the entire planet in the name of corporate
polices that have no moral justification for their own existence
much less so as what these decisions actually means whenever anyone
thinks about the direction these policies have tried to lock us all into:
Which is the end of everything that was once considered natural or even
possible in what we so cavalierly called "the civilized world.
-
- The ghosts of those we've murdered are silent but they
cannot be denied because in the end we must account for what we've done.
Americans were very proud of having a Bill of Rights; but seemingly we
missed the implication that went with those rights: Our RESPONSIBILITIES
as human beings to be responsible for the universe and the planet itself,
not to mention what our actions have burdened us all with when we
consider our fellow human beings, anywhere else in the world today.
-
- We cannot undo history; but we can at the very least
begin to question everything we do from here on in because quite literally
our survival actually does depend on what we decide. That choice is literally
ours to make as individuals if we fail then the world fails
with us.
-
- Think about this and demand that our WARS become the
primary focus of this election because the continued survival of these
unilateral and illegal invasions has created all this poverty and crime.
It is the wars that are the most critical factor in whether or not we can
have a world to live in anymore. Cut the funding, and bring all the troops
home by Christmas; and we have a chance to alter course-fail to do that
and you'll begin to discover how small this planet really is, because there
will be no place to hide anywhere on this earth from this evil that we
have created and still support with every drop of the stolen treasure that
we have allowed these criminals to steal from those of us that earned that
money and the use of those resources in the first place!
-
- Why for instance has the media failed utterly to even
notice that massive about of information ( The 400 thousand documents)
that were recently released about the actual facts concerning how the Iraq
war was being waged?
-
- "As usual, the Arabs knew. They knew all about the
mass torture, the promiscuous shooting of civilians, the outrageous use
of air power against family homes, the vicious American and British mercenaries,
the cemeteries of the innocent dead. All ofIraq knew. Because they were
the victims.
-
- Only we could pretend we did not know. Only we in the
West could counter every claim, every allegation against the Americans
or British with some worthy general the ghastly US military spokesman
Mark Kimmitt and the awful chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Peter Pace, come
to mind to ring-fence us with lies. Find a man who'd been tortured
and you'd be told it was terrorist propaganda; discover a house full of
children killed by an American air strike and that, too, would be terrorist
propaganda, or "collateral damage", or a simple phrase: "We
have nothing on that." (4)
