It's
SUPERBOWL Sunday, yet for Americans there will be no "overtime-saving of
the home team."
The Bells-of History are also
tolling, and the whistle is about to be blown on a game that too many
don't even know is being played. While we've been sleep-walking through
what is going into its fifth year: most Americans are still being
sucker-punched, lied to, and spit upon and all at the same time! Welcome
to the Wonderful World of the International Bankers, and to their New
World Order, where only they can profit. Let's peek at the matrix of how
this has worked for them, while it's been steadily killing so many of us.
When we went to war it was about
continuing a policy that was set out for us, long before 2000. The policy
was ambitious. It sought to lay siege to the United States, to slash our
ability to earn from "the living" that many tried to continue
with; while our values were further eroded along with those
"opportunities" that "America" had once been so famous for. That
portion of the policy has succeeded beyond anyone's wildest expectations.
The herd that is the public has remained a docile flock, with no sign yet
that any rams will appear to alter the direction or the intensity of the
herd. Some of the details are...
War-Profiteering has skyrocketed.
The secret contracts for weapons systems and equipment appears to
constitute artificially inflated prices that are devouring the budgets,
giving massive unearned profits to the manufacturers, while leaving the
troops without even the basics. This combined with non-leadership at every
level is not only FAILING to support-the-troops: but is actually leaving
the troops as sitting ducks in a war-zone that has no front lines, and
that knows no rules of engagement! How does this callous disregard for the
facts-on-the-ground not constitute a dereliction of duty in a time of war
by the Commander-in-Chief himself?
This from the San Francisco
Chronicle today: "Not only did the deployment last much longer than
the military leaders had expected, but the cost of equipment and training
has also skyrocketed. As the conflict continued, the cost of basic
equipment - helmets, rifles and body armor - more than tripled, from
$7,000 in 1999 to $25,000 last year, the Wall Street Journal reported in
December. The cost of a humvee, once unarmored, has grown seven-fold, to
about $225,000 from $32,000 in 2001. As a result of rising costs, the
purchases of basic equipment lagged."
"A typical soldier shows up
in Iraq without the knowledge of the language, without the knowledge of
the people," said Loren Thompson, defense analyst at the Lexington
Institute, a centrist think tank in Arlington, Va. "If he also isn't
experienced with his unit or with his weapon, that maximizes the potential
for disaster."
A survey conducted by the Defense
Department Inspector General's Office last spring found that U.S. troops
in Iraq and Afghanistan lack sufficient armored vehicles, heavy weapons
such as artillery or large machine guns, devices designed to jam signals
used to detonate roadside bombs, and communications equipment. As a
result, they are sometimes forced to put off operations while they wait
for equipment, according to the classified report, a summary of which the
Defense Department made public on Tuesday.
"They don't have enough
humvees, they don't have enough (armored) trucks," Ortiz, who chairs
the Readiness Subcommittee at the House Armed Services Committee, told The
Chronicle. "It's getting to the point when they have to share the
equipment."
For example, the flat bottoms of
the humvees do not deflect the blasts from roadside bombs and instead
direct them into the trucks in a way that maximizes the potential damage
from the blast to the troops inside. The military is planning to buy
thousands of new armored mine-protected vehicles, known as cougars and
buffaloes, whose V-shaped hulls deflect blasts from beneath. Lt. Gen.
Stephen Speakes, the Army's top supply officer, told the Baltimore Sun
that military commanders in Iraq have asked for at least 6,465 such
vehicles. But these vehicles would not reach Iraq until March 2008,
military officials told the House Armed Services Committee last
month." (1)
The Dictator stopped talking
about "a civil war" about the same time that he told congress he
was "open to debate about the war" - now going into its fifth
year. Pelosi, speaking on cue, offered her lines of superfluous
co-operation, rather than challenging the failed Commander-in-Chief for
his dereliction of duties, or for the waste of hundreds of thousands of
lives without any justification. Pelosi's words about the "Spirit of
Bi-partisanship" is not only false, it's the wrong approach - AGAIN!
The public knows that there is no
opposition party in this congress, therefore the
"bipartisanship" she speaks of aligns her with the Dictator and
his failures, rather than offering any real way out of the morass which
the congress and the Dictator have created for the nation. Add to this the
privatizing of this government that is now in full swing. This from the
New York Times - yesterday:
"In June, short of people to
process cases of incompetence and fraud by federal contractors, officials
at the General Services Administration responded with what has become the
government's reflexive answer to almost every problem. They hired another
contractor.
It did not matter that the
company they chose, CACI International, had itself recently avoided a
suspension from federal contracting; or that the work, delving into
investigative files on other contractors, appeared to pose a conflict of
interest; or that each person supplied by the company would cost taxpayers
$104 an hour. Six CACI workers soon joined hundreds of other
private-sector workers at the G.S.A., the government's management agency.
Without a public debate or formal
policy decision, contractors have become a virtual fourth branch of
government." (2)
The above are some of the smaller
points which the Matrix of power-politics has recently intensified. But to
grasp what's going on behind the scenes-we must understand the motives of
the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), combined with the twelve
independently and foreign-owned member banks one of which is the Federal
Reserve - which is not a federal government institution but is privately
owned: This goes back to 1913 and the Night-before-Christmas theft of the
power to print our own money. It's an ugly story, but it's what has
brought us to what is only the beginning of a never-ending war, that will
end this nation and murder this Republic, once and for all. (3)
And finally - There was a recent
Revolution in the USA and that Revolution was televised.
On December 12, 2000 - the US
government held its own coup and the public bought it - because there was
no public outcry over the stolen election or the appointment of George W.
Bush by the Supreme Court. The congress, wishing not-to-get-involved
decided that they didn't need to act: So the Supreme Court got away
TREASON and Congress became part of that crime and yet we have continued
from that day to this as if that coup never happened!
Still - Every single thing that h
as happened from that day to this HAS BEEN ILLEGAL - maybe that's why
no-one particularly cares about how illegal anything is anymore? Hence the
government's continuing series of CRIMES against all of us. It's more than
clear that we've all been had-BIGTIME! What is less clear is how much the
public is willing to do to end this farce! How many more people will be
slaughtered so that the public can watch the SUPERBOWL untroubled by the
sounds of that doomsday clock that moves inexorably on; to that
moment-not-yet-announced: when it all comes crashing down on the innocent
and the guilty with equal vengeance!
