When George W. Bush ran for office
he couldn't even find the Middle-East on a map of the world. Yet today, he
who appointed himself "The Decider" - now demands that the maps
of the entire planet be altered to fit his twisted views.
Before Bush became "The Decider"
we had a lot more words in the vocabulary of dialogue between nations,
between peoples and between individuals, than we are allowed to have now.
The words themselves are still in the dictionaries, but they no longer
have any meaning whatever!
Bush says that he takes full
responsibility for all the mistakes surrounding the government's response
to Katrina. But what does that mean? Has he offered to resign; has he
offered to pay for the lives lost, or to make restitution for the vast
destruction of so much of the Gulf Coast of the United States -
destruction that his total failures have only compounded? Katrina was
America's Lebanon, and George Bush behaved in the same way then, that
Israel did in their prosecution of the near total destruction of Lebanon.
Yesterday Bush demanded that
there be "consequences" for Iran's refusal to bow to him and to
the UN Security Counsel. It would appear that Bush thinks that "consequences"
still exist - but only in the limited sphere of those things that interest
him and his criminal sponsors. Also Yesterday, in a partisan rant composed
of mega-lies and monstrous distortions of the facts that ended in a tidal
wave of terror-riven drivel that was meant to drive this nation into a
fear of itself so deep - that only "lots more war" could possibly offer
any solution to the problems his policies created.
In this effort Bush has set the
stage for each and every act in the last five years - then on cue - he
called for the war that in each case that was supposed to correct each
imagined threat. These threats have again and again been proven to contain
no real danger to Fortress America, or to Americans at home. They have
however, proven to present serious consequences for the future of the USA
in world affairs, and they have destroyed America's image in the eyes of
the world.
Since the USA gave up its
constitutional form of government, by sacrificing the Office of the
President, to the whims that come from the "Office of the
Decider" we no longer have a nation of laws. Instead we have a
dictatorship that serves the needs of the ever-changing state of Israel
ahead of those of the United States. The USA has been the host nation
being devoured by a parasite, and all because "The Decider" has
chosen to decide so many global matters for us all.
Remember - this is the same jerk
who never left the nation until he ran for president. The same spoiled
brat who is still AWOL from the US Military and yet now claims to be the
Commander-in-Chief-of-the-World: a world which is on the edge of chaos. If
this were not so serious it would be criminally laughable to even consider
such a monstrous folly!
What happened to the society that
allowed this nightmare to not only happen, but to take root and grow to
the point where the life on the planet is now in real danger? The "history"
is very brief but there is a parallel that tells the tale better than all
the political rhetoric ever could. In the late 1960's and early 70's there
was a sexual revolution under way in America, because of the advent of the
Birth-Control-Pill. Life began to imitate art.
Ordinary people found that the
rigid conventions of those paternal leftovers from the Victorian age could
be ignored, and that there were other ways to live one's life: ways that
did not involve remaining in that sterile and ethical wasteland created by
those extremists who worship only greed and power. Imagine a time when
one's life was not inundated with commercials; imagine a life outside of
possessions and acquisitions - if you can.
Health, Joy, maybe even a bit of
Peace, definitely a chance to have a life of the mind, and the time to
think about things other than just yourself. However the Sexual Revolution
was very short, and died almost immediately with the arrival of AIDS (a
disease that some said was very conveniently created by the CIA in
Africa). Whatever the origins of the disease, its effects upon the
freedoms and behaviors within this society were as devastating as they
were wide spread. This marked the beginning of the roll-back of the 60's
revolution that almost happened.
This death also marked the end of
promise, and the beginning of this return to the Days of the
Robber-Barons, to non-stop commercials, to the international
Corporatocracy, to the absolute monopoly of multi-national Capitalism and
with all that - to the end of nation-states and the beginnings of the New
World Order. All because some people actually thought they might be able
to live their own lives, according to their own decisions free from
censorship by government.
Into the above equation there is
one other factor that must be considered. For fifty-eight years the United
States has been nurturing a relationship with a State that is still
forming (because its borders are forever changing, never certain at any
given time). That unfinished place is called Israel, and it has been the
recipient of trillions upon trillions of US taxpayer dollars over the more
than half a century, ever since its faltering first steps, into that world
that Israel professes to want to belong to. Yet, aside from the UN
resolution that created her, she has chosen to ignore over 66 UN
resolutions, and after her 1948 war for independence, she has continued to
attack the several Arab states that surround Israel in the region.
If this situation were similar to
a new neighbor trying to move into any inner-city neighborhood and that
new tenant behaved as Israel is behaving, she would be unceremoniously
kicked out of that neighborhood, and told never to return.
Israel brought the world much
more bigotry, racism, and divisions of all kinds, along with problems
unending for the region: sometimes in their own name, sometimes as a
surrogate for the USA. All in all, if this form of Israel did not exist,
the world would be a much quieter place in which people might actually be
able to try and live. But Israel is a fact - she says! What remains to be
seen is if the world can continue with Israel as a part of it. If Lebanon
is an example of how Israel treats the nations that she says she cares
about - then imagine how she'll treat her enemies?
Think about how much of this
civilization has died, just since we gave up the presidency to "The
Decider" and his rogue's gallery of ex-cons, thugs and common
criminals. Think about how much of the language has been murdered, how
much of "common decency" is no longer decent or common? Since the advent
of "The Decider" the United States has now joined the massively
disastrous religious wars that have destroyed so many nations and peoples
throughout history. Since "The Decider," this nation has always
come down on the side of brutality, and is the leader in creating
crimes-against-humanity - while mouthing empty slogans about liberty and
democracy: while the guns of our troops and the bombs from our planes make
a mockery of every word "the Decider" proclaims!
Think about how much of George
Orwell's 1984 lives on in the Bushwhacker's-World of the New World
Order. The death of words and meanings alone is staggering. The outright
waste of human lives expended, whether those bodies died in American
uniforms or in the civilian clothing of those we continue to slaughter.
Many will say that much of this death is coming from those civilians who
are at war with each other, whether for religious or sectarian reasons.
Yet if America and her "coalition of the willing-to-be-deceived" had not
invaded Iraq, then these massive death tolls would not have taken place.
This "War on Terra" has
gone on longer than WWII was, for the United States, in the 1940's. Yet
Bush & Co are now seeking to compare the wars begun by "The Decider"
with the Nazi's in WWII. Seeking further cover for his failures, Bush is
now trying to divide his "WAR" into two separate parts: The
War-on-Iraq & The War-on-Terra. This is nothing but more smoke &
mirrors that can no longer mask the grotesque crimes of "The Decider"
and the demons of his darkest fantasies.
Question - into which category
will the coming War-on-Iran and/or The War-on-Syria fall? Also: Exactly
what has been the point of anything in all of this? Bush says he is
avenging and responding to the attacks on 911, but that's an outright lie,
because no one in his administration or the major media has been willing
to answer any of the real questions that surround those events - Questions
that point directly to Washington, to London and to Tel Aviv, and not to
the Arabs, have been studiously ignored. So what has been accomplished?
"The Decider" speaks of
success, but with hundreds of deaths every day in Iraq alone, it is clear
that his standards need to be re-examined. Afghanistan is coming apart
again, and everywhere the laws of the planet are crumbling.
His policies have failed a
thousand times over, in every place where he has sent US troops to enforce
his "Decisions" - yet he belligerently continues to say: "I will stay
the course." Whose wars are these anyway - not ours - because it is
not the province of "The Decider" to call for regime changes
anywhere but here, in the one country where he is supposed to be making
decisions! Who appointed us to "spread Democracy and Freedom in the
world. That decision must come from those who seek it: It cannot be
imported on the tips of DU-laden American bullets! What apparently is
being sought is the seizure of resources, to profit major corporate interests
that has nothing whatever to do with freedom or democracy. What does have
to do with "Freedom & Democracy" is the everyday life of Americans in
the USA, and in dealing with those responsibilities he and the congress
have rapidly turned this place into another form of those WWII
concentration camps, that used to require barbed wire. That is the real
crime beneath the rhetoric of "The Decider" and all his darkest thoughts!
"The Decider" is very
short-sighted. He claims to be the Commander-in-Chief-of-the-World. Yet he
refuses to look carefully at the region where he is fighting. Instead he
attempts to see each nation as an isolated entity that has nothing to do
with its neighbors. Chess in Europe was promulgated by the Persians, who
got it from the Chinese, and turned it from a game for four players into
what we know today as a game for two. Ancient Persia, is the Iran of
today.
Iran sits between Iraq and
Afghanistan; both of which are under siege from the US, so why has The
Decider not even considered this when he and his bully-boys in the NWO,
designed their demands for Iran's total surrender to them? Iran has lived
with US sanctions for 27 years. During that time Iran developed an
economy, (unlike the USA that is now broke and disgraced in the world).
They have a nation that is generally at peace within, and they have many
prospects for trade with the wider world, (China & Russia among
others). So why are the Neo-Con's pushing for air-strikes on Iran and
Syria that will trigger a new major war and that will involve nations and
issues that will go well beyond the Middle East? Maybe the Decider is
secretly the "New Terminator" of all that civilization has tried to build
over the last few thousand years?
Iran and Syria have both
expressed a desire to talk - yet The Neolithic Neo-Cons have refused
anything that might make rational sense, especially if those conversations
might avert a global war. So how is it that "The Decider" has
any real authority, since it is obvious that he is without personal
skills, that he lacks the capacity for rational behavior, and that he is
quite possibility criminally insane as well. The speech he gave yesterday
before the Veterans group in Salt Lake City was very illuminating.
All one had to do was listen to
him, and realize that everything he is accusing Iran of, is exactly what
he and his co-conspirators are already doing in several places, and all of
it has immediate and very damaging effects for the entire planet!
The "Terrorists" Bush
is referring to are home grown, and many of them reside in the former
offices of the Tarnished House that once belonged to the president; but
have now been taken over by "The Decider" and his criminal
operatives. The Vice-President - Mr. Cheney - has become a law unto
himself, with his own chain of command, his own intelligence service, in
fact he has a completely separate shadow government within the old idea of
the former constitutionally mandated government of the USA: except that
Cheney's form of that idea answers only to himself. In "His Secure
Place" there is no congress, nor is there a judicial branch in the
new version of dictatorship that Cheney commands.
Isn't it amazing what can grow in
the dark, when the light of open government is diverted or turned off. The
evil seeds that are growing in that "Secure Place" are
succeeding wildly in their capture of existing forms and their perversions
of security concerns, by classifying all that might affect their secret
authority - not to mention the inconvenient fact that everything about
Cheney's huge little hidy-hole is completely illegal!
This is what America gets when
too many of us decided to turn away from our public place in World
Affairs. Very soon now - it looks like "The Decider" will need
to be dealt with, before he and his puppet masters get us all ever deeper
into a cycle of wars that no one will be able to survive. . . .
Why not give your local media a
call or write about just how it is that we seem to have lost a president,
and gotten "The Decider" as the one hangover that we never
thought we'd ever have!
