Welcome
to the side of the universe that does not deal in the things you value.
Know that if you are in college or an institution of higher learning today
- you have to be dumber than a box of rocks. Whatever you are supposedly
studying is a dead-end street-given the course this nation is currently
pursuing. The world is interactive, and as people still in school you are
not participating in this society, except to the degree that you may be
seeking a personal passport to money and success, according to the
doctrines of the New World Order - whether you like it or not!
In case you missed it, the powers
that be in the world of formal education have been co-opted by the
financiers of global corruption and privatized plundering. So whatever you
may be "studying" will either be downsized, outsourced, or eliminated
either just before or just after you complete your courses. Say goodbye to
your private passports to promise and/or real money. The good news is that
you won't need to pay back the egregious sums involved in your student
loans because the bad news is that there won't be a society into which you
can ply the paper-world of your freshly minted degrees.
There are institutions of "higher
learning" all around you whether in the major cities or in the adjacent
suburbs and they're free. But to "access" them you will need the ability
to understand what you're seeing, hearing or reading: most of all what
you'll need is the one faculty that you obviously lack.
You must understand how any
society is structured, and that is a view that can only be understood by
looking at the streets and neighborhoods where the less fortunate live.
FYI all real societies are held together by razor thin threads of trust.
The death knell for any would-be society is the imposition of mega-lies,
massive deceptions and total control of what used to be the government.
You have obviously missed the boat entirely because you have remained
outside the public commons when it comes to weighing-in on where this
nation ought to be going. Your predecessors instinctively knew this
(because they faced a draft) and became involved in a pivotal way-to STOP
the Vietnam War. But because you are not yet threatened with the DRAFT,
you've basically remained immune from the slaughter, the massive death and
horror being produced minute-to-minute in the Middle-East.
There is a precedent for this -
people such as Dick Cheney, George Bush, Donald Rumsfeld and another 50 or
so members of this administration who also ducked previous conflicts to
pursue their greed and passion for money and power-much as you are doing
now! If you disagree, then where's the evidence of your commitment to an
open government, to free speech zones in this country or to a responsible
federal government that cannot, in conscience, continue to send your
ex-classmates into that jet-propelled meat grinder that is simply called
"THE War." If you continue to show so little concern for the
lives of the less fortunate in this society, or the ones that we're
killing (those without access to connections) - then you deserve the
failure you are paying through the nose to obtain!
If you doubt my words, just look
at how much control over higher education has recently taken over the
funding for colleges and universities, not to mention the new federal role
in student loans everywhere. If students were to organize demonstrations
against the war - the institutions themselves would be penalized by the
feds - through funding losses that would directly affect the price of your
so-called "educations." So you choose not to rock the boat-which continues
to aid and abet the criminals who are running the American side of this
war. Of course you could fight your administrations - but that would be
out-of-character given your "status in the pursuit of fun &
games!"
On the other hand if you continue
to fail your fellow citizens-as supposedly the most privileged among the
youth of this country-then you will also fail the obligation to yourselves
and to your own potential futures, as that privileged class that is
supposedly being groomed to take over the reins of everything that is
America, as an idea or as a country.
People around the world are dying
by the millions under American and Israeli guns, bombs and torture.
Currently this war is costing the US a mere $8.4 Billion a month to stay
in Iraq. If you think for a second that this kind of commitment can be
continued indefinitely then you need to enroll immediately in math 101.
If you believe the BS that comes
from the puppeteers running the war machine, then you need to be made
aware of exactly who is directly profiting from this huge financial
outlay. Even a lowly college student should be able to figure this one
out. . .
"Why did so many have to
die? Who profits? It started with Dresser Industries: "We manufacture
market and service the critical equipment that forms the backbone of the
world's energy infrastructure."
What does this have to do with
the War in Iraq? Prescott S. Bush who was George Jr.'s Granpappy served on
the board of Directors for 22 years. Even George Sr. served on the same
board until 1998, that's when Halliburton CEO Dick Cheney acquired
Dresser-in other words the Bushes had Cheney use Halliburton's money to
buy their family business for $7.7 billion. Doesn't Halliburton get most
of its money from American taxpayer dollars awarded through (secret)
government contracts?
Before the Bushes had Cheney
acquire Dresser Industries. . . Dresser bought a rival company called
Kellogg in 1988, ever heard of a company called KBR? It's a Halliburton
subsidiary otherwise known as Kellogg, Brown & Root. The 'K' in KBR is
the same Kellogg owned by the Bush family business.
KBR just happens to be the
recipient of billions in taxpayer dollars through NO BID CONTRACTS.
Is this why Bush was so horny for
war? This is why our men and women were sent to their deaths."
In Iraq Bush Jr. says "you
don't succeed in Iraq before the mission is complete."
"The Mission? To keep KBR in
Iraq as long as possible in order to control the world's energy and profit
from the blood of American life. That's why they're dead.
All hail the profiteer in chief.
The Great profiteer who oversaw "Halliburton plans Spinoff of KBR" by
taking it public." (*)
And those secret no-bid contracts
were involved in what the General Accounting Office found to be over $9
Billion that simply disappeared from the money appropriated for
Halliburton and KBR. These are the kinds of business opportunities that
have a controlling interest today: and unless a whole lot more of you
begin to speak out - that will be your future as surely as it has been
ours for the last six years!
