This is important, because only when
something gets to this level can it become of potential importance to others. So
what does this title refer to: The first thousand what-dollars, lies,
obscenities, human lives, or all of the above?
With the official numbers now in four
digits-the time has come to again ask. "What does this war have to do with
US policy-why are we there and what's the plan"?
Some of their answers included:
"We will never forget the lessons of 911!" or "Iraq is the front
line in the war on terror." Later, after it became clear that we have lost
control, and that we have lost this takeover attempt in Iraq, Bush and the
Pirates said: "We must stay the course" and " we will do whatever
it takes to accomplish the mission." Since neither the course nor the
mission, have ever been identified for ordinary mortals, this means absolutely
nothing. Whatever the Pirates are referring to in their pomposity, Bush seems
very comfortable with sending people out to die for something that he chooses to
classify as secret. Would Bush be so cock-sure of his easy proclamations if his
kids were going off into the fog of a war declared by a guy who says he speaks
for God?
How do the Pirates define success
anywhere, and is there a difference in what is going on now in Iraq, versus some
other kind of success? Is success a numbers game - because according to the
White House we've been "at war" now for One Thousand and Ninety-three
days. Did Bush expect that we would lose as many people as we have days
invested? Or is the number of dead more suitable if it reaches 10,000, or even
50,000? Do the numbers alone give any war more meaning? How many more need to
die on any side. How many more need to be mangled, damaged or destroyed for the
mystery and the illegality that George and Dick and Donald, have so proudly
claimed as their war upon the world?
Great nations are measured by the
viability of their people, and by the feasibility of their national policies:
And also, by how often their politicians tell the truth by design instead of by
default. None of the real topics that came into question with the Bush decision
to attack the world has ever been discussed or debated. It was simply ordered by
Bush and that was that - no questions, no holdouts.
Now three years after the fact, both
parties held hollow conventions that decided nothing and that kept the public
from having anything to say about our national stance: on pre-emptive attacks,
on violations of International law, or on prisoner abuse and the responsibility
for all of the above. The reason for the conventions had already been stolen
from the delegates, by the national media and their puppet-masters, who felt
that choosing candidates for public office was far too important to be left to
ordinary citizens. The public has seen this, and most are not disturbed by
having their choices made for them by those who would have had to earn that
choice, if there were to be a real election.
George W. tends to think of himself as
a King, even though he is not Monarch material. Bush does however play to the
gallery that seems to need to be literally guided through every act in their
waking life. "There lives within a great many Americans a latent yearning
for some kind of Monarchy, some kind of feudal dependence upon a patriarchy that
is repellant to free and independent thought. This emanates from a fear of the
world that is born of indecision, just as it seeks protections from even life
itself. There can be no protection for any individual within an artificial net
of fantasies and lies. Enter the one-size fits all dominance of the New World
Order." Maybe Bush is thinking that he's the King of the all the Pirates?
That works!
The questions we have not faced are the
ones we never asked Bush to explain. He arranged to have himself appointed to
the presidency, after having lost the popular count by over 500,000 votes -
which we did not challenge. Then he targeted a place and an outlaw band, as our
enemies, that he said committed the actions that resulted in 911-yet he chose
not to investigate, or even to attempt to prove any of his own allegations.

Our part in his criminal actions was,
that we did not demand that he do more.
Since we did not challenge him on
anything at all to that point, he went further. After holding more clandestine
meetings with his fellow outlaws, together they created a policy that flies in
the face of all of history, all international laws, and common sense. He created
the Bush Doctrine of 2002 that sanctions pre-emptive wars, based on nothing but
the personal determination of the resident of the oval office.
This policy provided no oversight, no
congressional or judicial checks or balances for his actions, and provides no
timetable for conclusion of this permanent state of Outlawed Warfare. And still
the American public did not challenge any part of this action that targeted the
US Treasury, to pay for all of it, and the public that would need to furnish the
human cannon fodder for this insanity that the Bush Administration claims is
necessary, to protect the people from "terrorism."
Despite the obvious flaws in all of
this-the public still has not challenged any of the actions that have led us to
this impasse. Possibly because we have chosen to believe that no president would
knowingly commit treason, knowingly violate international laws, or chose to send
men and women into unending wars, with only the false flag of patriotism as our
sole justification of those actions. No president would: but Bush is not the
valid president, he's an imposter.
When his first strike against
Afghanistan began to get bogged down in the impossibility of any chance to
win-we allowed Bush to change the subject, ignore his promise "to get Osama
bin Laden dead or alive" and just change the subject from Afghanistan to
Iraq. Why-simply because the "president" said that Iraq was involved
with 911. No proof was offered, only the word of a discredited and increasingly
suspicious White House, whose allegations have proven to be nothing but a pack
of lies. Having all of this come back to haunt them now, the subject has now
become "the next attack." Some of what has been ignored now includes
the torture of people throughout the Middle East, in hideous and bloody ways.
The White House, through Rumsfeld, apparently ordered this: That it became an
open secret with no investigation until after the election seems to follow the
familiar pattern. The reason given is because the people who were tortured were
all terrorists, and not deserving of civil treatment. Given that nine-tenths of
all those held by us, were guilty of nothing at all, was ignored. More flags and
uniforms were paraded, and the necessary questions were again - not asked.
Why is it so difficult for so many to
grasp that other people will quite naturally chose to fight anyone who tries to
seize their way of life, or who comes into their own country to kill them? The
media calls these people "insurgents" (assuming that they are acting
against the natural order). Wrong! Those people are fighting the Invaders of
their nation, for a variety of reasons, and this is taking place in their
country, not ours.
We did the same thing in Viet Nam,
where we killed millions of people in that country and in Cambodia and Laos as
well. But we lost that war, outright. That cost over 57,000 American lives, but
millions and millions of other people also paid for our arrogant and illegal
actions in that region. The Bush-Wars will have costs that will make Viet Nam
look like child's play, compared to the chaos that will flow from these much
larger and more obscene claims of obscenity that we are now making upon the
world.
Pre-emptive war has been a major
failure worldwide. Just look at the increase in government lawlessness
(introduced by the Bush doctrine of 2002) everywhere else. Nowhere is safe from
extreme violence, no situation has improved at all: All that has happened since
we launched pre-emptive warfare has been the erosion of law and order everywhere
else. "Terror" and suicide bombings result from frustration beyond
endurance, and from the failure of global policies that mirror the deep
imbalances between the powerful and the ultra poor. When all hope for change has
been lost - then there is only fury and the will to die rather than to live
under the tyranny that some people feel, has become their daily way of life.
America, despite all the Bush
administrations attempts to take everything away from us, is "still at
Risk." Which means that we gave up our constitution, our privacy, even our
ability to question - for nothing! Read that sentence again - all our fears have
earned us nothing but more fear, more paranoia, and on the horizon there is only
"War, war, lots more war!"
Real policies cannot be founded on
national paranoia, or on fear alone. Whenever "Security" is the only
reason for anything, then the result will always be insecurity. True security
comes directly from sound and balanced national and international policies, not
from war, and never from pre-emptive strikes. The world has known this for
centuries-yet we have let our presidential imposter decide, that he knows so
much more than the collective wisdom in the whole of human history - "about
what's best for this nation." And by implication, for the remainder of the
world, that also has to live with our delusions.
Kerry, the other non-choice for 'next
imposter', mumbled about a nation that remembers it's dead, as though this was
the highest honor conferrable upon a war. Why not ask our dead how many of them
thought that it was a great idea to die for someone else's bottom line, and then
call that "the American Dream!"
Kerry is a half-hearted excuse 'for
something else to do.' His platitudes and obvious boredom with the race, leave
the public bereft of any real choice: which is why he was chosen (by the power
brokers) to run against Bush. And as for Bush, whose life was not investigated,
(thanks to the subservience of the media), Bush did not come into politics with
a personal history, at least not one that he could point to, or that would
qualify him to be anything to anyone besides himself. Hence his trademark
"style" the sneer, the snide and petty cynicism of a man who knows he
should have long ago been busted!
This game is rigged, and while there
are at least two candidates, there is no real choice evident in the coming
November farce. Whoever wins -we'll lose. That's part of the price we paid for
remaining silent when it was time to question everything. Don't forget-this
number is just "The First Thousand," and that in only one of the many
wars we've all been promised!
So please stay quiet, and do your duty
to the state - send your family into uniform, the draft is coming in 2005 and
then everyone can play in the real-life-game of Empire!
