The Thin Red Line continues, and it
runs through our entire lifespan. There are basically three parts to life,
for any of us who are lucky enough to live that long. The first is youth;
the second is adulthood and finally old age. With the baby boom after the
Second World War, a massive new and global problem was born. The world
would soon have too many people in it to sustain the kind of life that most
would like to live.
 As the world began to shrink, and
governments continued to grow: the first round in the war upon the world
featured massive mergers that over time created ever-larger powers.
Beginning in the late 1970’s, as power grew, so did the armies of the
lobbyists in direct proportion to the shrinking of the rights and
protections for working people. This was the first knife in the back, and
it marked the beginning of the end of the relationship between work and the
earning power necessary to survive.
Children were the first to feel
the effects of this new relationship. Too little money meant not enough to
eat, because soon both parents needed to work fulltime, which led to lack
of supervision, and the dismemberment of family life. The hardest hit in
that war were the children of the less than wealthy. In the cities this was
first felt in the Ghettos and the Barrios, where the children of the poor
became outcasts among their own communities. These forgotten younger people
needed to be included and gang life filled that much needed association.
The ‘War on Drugs’, has done much to keep the gangs in business, and
that has kept the fires of anger burning far and wide. Altogether, this has
cut the younger generations off from continuity, from family life, from
opportunities and from education. It’s directly traceable to the policies
established by the new robber barons that see no value in the young,
because their profit margins there are far too small to merit interest. Yet
in the long run the failures of our youth to make their way into society
has cost society far more than we can ever bear.
We have become a throw-way
society, and our children were the first to go, not to be recycled, but to
fester alone and empty of meaning, left to rot until they die an early
death from any of the dozens of our new and permanently distracted follies,
that came from our New World Order.
After the European Trade
Agreements and NAFTA, when small and medium-sized business began to hit the
ropes, the big boys moved again, this time to cut their actual costs by
90%. They pocketed the profits and took their factories offshore, which
further cut the jobs available. It was here that the second knife was
placed in the backs of those still working. That knife is the fear of the
loss of an all-important job. The added bonus for the employer being, that
they could also use this opportunity to stigmatize the same foreigners, to
whom the jobs had gone, further polarizing everyone. Now we’re about to
get the FTAA, Free Trade for the Americas, which will sink all the
remaining jobs as well.
Corporate and multi-national power
brokers created these opportunities to enrich themselves beyond their
wildest dreams. True there would always be too many needing jobs, but this
would lower wages and force people not to question what they were told to
do. So jobs were created that mirrored the Dust Bowl of the 1930’s, only
these job shortages would be nationwide. Our throwaway society then tossed
the working poor as well – adding to the rubble that was begun by failing
to care for our children in the first place.
Those not able to find work, could
always join the military, or chose the good life of living on the streets:
For those who could find a job, at a reduced wage, the new robber barons
initially provide relief, but with a catch. The catch is that to keep the
job, one had to become a Team Player. This is groupthink pure and simple
and with this ugly truth confirming corporate principles, no one’s job
would ever be secure. So thanks to the vision and connivance of the
transnationals, and the effective death of unions this nightmare for the
workers, becomes a paradise for their employers. Cynical, yes, but
perfectly designed for the theory of dominance by control of all the
options.
With the youth of the nation
marginalized, the working poor permanently besieged, the middle class
frozen in a dead end jobs that only end in termination — all that remains
are the huge numbers of the elderly. Too many of those are now afflicted by
disease and infirmities of all kinds, vet most of them might vote. For the
powerful this appeared to be a problem. But then this was simply seen as
just another golden opportunity to further enrichment, at the expense of
millions — because death would soon push many millions of the old into
the waiting arms of their predatory companies. And with ‘THEM’ now in
complete control, all that remains is to squeeze out ever-greater profits
from that massive failure, that we know, as US domestic policy.
This is leading to the destruction
of a market for American goods in the USA – as one needs to have money to
afford to buy the things that business sells. Yet the people now thought of
themselves, not as citizens, but as consumers so they dutifully dipped into
credit cards and debt, just to stay the course — believing as they did,
that this too would quickly pass. But instead of returning to normal, the
national economy under Bush began to plunge to unthinkable depths, insuring
that there would be no recovery for the little people — ever.
All this time, with the erosion of
government protections, and the shrinking value of the US dollar, the
entire situation continued to deteriorate at an alarming rate. The only
solution to this calamity was war. Not just any war, but a war upon the
world. This could only happen if the United States were to be attacked.
That ‘attack on 911’ was necessary, because without it, the charade
could be exposed: while with the war in place, even greater crimes could
quietly proceed without the slightest chance of ever being seen, all thanks
to national insecurity. So now this is finally ready for the takeover that
had been planned for us – beginning as it did at the end of World War
Two.
The above is a very rough overview
of what needed to happen to get us into this mess, so that the Bush
Doctrine of 2002 could be effectively enacted. However, the players in this
farce overestimated their skills and their abilities to carry out this
treachery.
If you look back over the lack of
real accomplishments, and the compare that with the glaring failures of
this ‘administration’ what you see is complete disaster. For instance
before 911: "The Kyoto Protocol. Signed by the United States, November
12, 1998.
Abandoned by George Bush, March 2001. The Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty.
Signed by Bill Clinton, 1996. Opposed by George W. Bush from day one.
Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty. In force since 1972. Abandoned by George W.
Bush May 1, 2001. Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. In force since 1970.
Undermined by
George W. Bush since 2001. Protocol to the Biological Weapons Convention.
Negotiated by the United States for ten years. Abandoned by George W. Bush,
July 2001."
After 911: "The International
Criminal Court. Supported by every American administration since World War
II. The Bush administration withdrew our signature from
the treaty on May 6, 2002. Accordingly, the Statute entered into force on 1
July 2002. Anyone who commits any of the crimes under the Statute after
this date will be liable for prosecution by the Court."
The above is just from the
documented legalistic side of the things: After The Bush Doctrine came into
being, Bush began to justify his policies not with law or from any legal
basis, but with slander and macho remarks that let the world know that
embracing an Outlaw point of view was the only path to follow.
The dictators of the world, a club
he longs to head, soon began to follow through on his example, using terror
as a cover for eliminating competition, crushing free speech, and generally
doing what many have hungered to do for decades, which is namely to take
whatever they wanted, but had been reluctant to act, for fear condemnation
by the wider world. Yet with Bush as the premiere example of diplomatic
failure allowable, all of this began to change behavior everywhere. Welcome
to the new Barbarity brought to us all by the New World Order!
What this all comes down to are
the differences over how the world is run, for who, and why. The Outlaws
want the world for the elite, to be run by them and for their companies,
and the reason is clear — because they can! People on the other hand need
a stable and productive world, where it is possible to find a decent job
and enough security, to raise a family and have some dreams that are not
fantasies.
People also need to believe that
there are rules that can protect them from fraud and theft, whether from
governments or from private enterprise. Most people want to live in a world
where people can be themselves, and hold their own beliefs, free from
government or religious intrusions, upon their lives. This would not seem
like too much to ask, in the case of those who make the working world
possible — yet this conflicts with the magisterial dreams of the elite,
who simply want to own it all, including each and every one of us.
We outnumber the elites by as high
a margin as 97%, if you believe the most pessimistic view of the numbers of
the wealthy. By 90% if you include the uncounted members-in-hiding. If
solutions are not soon found for this disparity between the wealthiest of
powers and the rest of us, something very ugly might occur, because we have
given away too much power to too few people, and too often to governments
that have not turned out to be what they say they are.
It’s crunch time, and we need to
begin to ask the right questions, and understand the answers given, our
lives depend on it.
