And now it seems, War is coming... One way or another... You are with us or against us. Yet in the link above, well it seems things are not going well economically, in the US of A. And DPRK - N. Korea is ready for a War, but we are going to 'Attack' Iraq. This seems somewhat skewered and and obvious attempt to divert attention away from dire economic times at home. Wag the Dog, seems tame compared to this scenerio. Or so it seems,,,

This is a nation where the first and only question that matters; what do you do? This provides a complete dossier and even location in the filing cabinet and social level, education, mate potential and ultimate social standing.
To ask about GOD or belief is probably now a thought crime, in USA. Asking about children, husband/wife is discriminatory (implying about sexual preferences) or anything like not what do you do but who are you? This is seen as an oxymoron. So, it is indeed a strange place here, and social taboos seemed all skewered. Selling magazines soap and everything else with blatant sexual insinuation. Acknowledging sexuality is taboo, however. You are beautiful, is insulting, implying sexual stereotyping.
This cultural backwash is complicated by an almost stupendous ignorance of the world, history. Even basic and general understanding outside the narcissistic circle of consumerism brand name knowledge, that this is the most defining aspect of what is called culture is the electronically shielded New Dark Age. Unacceptable behaviour is tolerated by minorities from some sort of collective guilt.
To be white and male in America, and of European descentis to be somehow complicit in mass crimes against humanity, Columbus did not discover America he unleashed a holocaust on America, on purpose. Our President is propounding a world view that is based on how to cover up massive failure and criminal behaviour of a few and the enslavement of the population in a bizarre cult of worship of things not needed by those who cannot afford them. Somewhere this gets wrapped up in liberty and GOD, and made ok as a belief system. In fact to worship at any other alter is considered patriotic. IN the America of 2003, The writings of the founding fathers would have resuledt in their immediate arrest and imprisonment – no charge of crime need be outlined.
The president goes on television and says we are going to defend liberty at any cost by denying liberty and justice to all. No one even questions this double speak. Not in any publication newscast, or public forum. To question the immediate need to invade and occupy Itaq to benevolently change the regime from one we do not like to one we do. This is an overt act of denial. The USA Government MIC took Saddam Hussein and taught him all he knows. He was provided with arms, and even the so called weapons of mass destruction by two countries, France and the USA. We made him, ergo we now have a right to destroy him. For we need the oil to cover up mass economic crimes, that have rewarded the political classes. It is no longer about the major Political Parties, The Republicans and the Democrats are two different ways to spell greed, self interest and power. Not of the people but over them. Who was secretary of Defence when Saddam was being armed to fight the world? Who is secretary of defence today? It would be no different if Gore were President. Not a bit just different actors in a slightly differnt setting. In fact under Jimmy Carter our beloved Ex-President that the USA, The US provided materiel and intel to Saddam since they were fighting Iranians, and well Iranians were holding American Hostages. The US provided not only satellite intel and targeting assitance along with US military advisors on the ground in mass murder of innocents using chemical warfare. The gassing of human beings. How can this be justified? Well, in part because nobody cares.
If one US military man gets in an auto accident in Afghanistan, he is on the front page,of every US newpaper, called a hero and his parent’s ex-girlfriends are interviewed for weeks on end. Yet, last year over 1 Million human beings were killed in a war where there was no distinction between combatants and innocents, both sides of this war were armed and financed by the USA. Can you tell me where this was? No one here can. So, it is a looking glass world here. To ask about God and belief is discriminatory but to question authority has become a crime. No one here understands or cares or thinks about the plight of the Palestinians for the Israeli’s are our Friends. The Palestinians are terrorists. Hmm.
To demonstrate certain aspects of this, a friend and myself set out on 5 separate occasions in the South Florida, area, armed with a Map of MARS and a digital video camera. It was not by any means scientific by means. Of the 40 people interviewed, only one questioned if it were in fact an accurate map of earth. Most picked random spots as the location for the USA. Israel is considered the largest nation on earth. Oh, and Iraq, it was placed in a number of places, but most often it was inside a crater. One fellow thought that New England was a Country. Most of these people had some college if not a degree. I asked of all males a simple question, where is Iraq. Why are we going to war there. Who is Saddam Hussein? Name the President of the US and the Vice President. When I got perplexed looks, I would say, if the draft is reinstated (a possibility) you could be ordered to go to Iraq. You may die there. Don’t you want to know what and why you are dying and for what reason and who thinks your life is worht risking and is ordering you to go?
Apparently not. In my neighbourhood, adults whom I thought were educated and aware cannot wait to bomb Iraq and that Saddam back into the stone age. When I point out that the Tigris and the Euphrates are the likely site for the foundation of civilisation and Baghdad is probably the oldest continually occupied human city on the earth, they look at me as if I am not patriotic. Therefore un-American therefore suspect. Did you know what the Homeland Defence Director suggested we do to prepare for a biological chemical attack buy purchasing duct tape, and plastic sheeting. Not only that but within 24 hours the duct tape supply was wiped out. Amazing. Scary. You bet. So you want to ask about God and belief… Well, it will be educational but probably frightening. But after the 9/11 'attack' what was the recomendation how could americans show their support. Go to the Mall, go shopping. Go sned money you do not have. Consume, spend and pretend and ignore. Why did these sobs fly planes into buildings. What kind of hatred breads a degree of collective insanity, that takes inteligent middle class youths from another society to go to elaborate means to not only kill them selves and people on board the planes and those in the buildings. To ask this question is to be suspect. Just as the Israeli denial of human bombs. WHat were the Jews in Palestine in pre World War 2 era if not terrorists? Menachem Begin blew up 90 woman children and soldiers in the King David Hotel, That is OK? But a Palestinian is somehow bad or evil. When is OK to kill for your feedom from occupations and the right to be free in your own country? When will we give up on this notion of control. Human being or not? So how can killing be justified in one case but never in another? WHo decides. Come to think of it when was the vote? The one where we decided to give up our freedom, the dedication to the constitution and innocence that must bepresumed not questioned and then held without charge. for an indefinite period of time. When was that vote? WHen did I surrender my rights. I am willing to die to defend anothers right to disagree with me and also for my right to be free. I do not remember signing up for a programme of ebbing freedom fed by a diseased culture, rendered impotent by repedative noise, and vidification, the loss of creativity worship of Corporate over individual. Money and greed buy justice not innocence. The more you steal the less you will pay. Peoples dreams and their security stolen and then punished for doing what they were told. When was that day? Damn I want a recount.
