No one could quite remember when it
happened? Some pointed to the lies of past wars; others to assassinations, Waco,
Ruby Ridge, Kent State, the Bonus March, TV programming, school shootings,
Oklahoma, the Towers imploding. But they were all wrong.
It wasn't really any one event, but the
systematic cumulative layer upon layer that built a Frankenstein people. Doped
up, dumbed down, designer zombies. Apathy, passivity, greed, indifference,
indolence, bias, rage, intolerance, compliance, and fear were insidiously and
consistently; shouted, drummed, conditioned and programmed into this new global
plantation people identified as "human resources".
Some of the elders recalled small-town
living and streets a bustle of townsfolk meeting and shopping. They spoke of
neighbors gathered on front porches while children played hide and seek in the
gathering darkness. Church picnics, the yearly carnival, fireflies, splashing
puddles of summer rains. There were lots of birds and butterflies then and
fields of wildflowers and scented forests.
Clothes danced on clotheslines in
summer's glee; with children busy building race cars, forts, or playing ball.
The sick neighbor was quickly tended to, the grieving widow comforted. They
remembered the laughter of children at play, and real grandmas in flowered
dresses with aprons baking up cookies. Cars all looked different and you could
tell a Chrysler from a Ford a block away. Men and boys worked on and rebuilt
motors in driveways. That ended with generic computer cars that nobody could
fix, purposed to send men indoors.
If there were keys to lock up one's
house they were long ago misplaced. There was the corner drug store, the
stationary store, the five and ten, the men's shop, the dairy queen, pizza shop,
shoe stores and little restaurants. Parades had all the folks out, with families
on blankets down by the river to watch the fireworks. Nothing fancy mind you.
Just ordinary folks living ordinary lives, joying in their communities and one
another. The real American dream if anyone should ask.
It didn't happen all at once so nobody
really noticed. Oh, some did, but they were quickly marginalized and labeled.
People learned, or rather were conditioned, to keep their thoughts and opinions
to themselves. One didn't want to be thought odd and then there were the
neighbors, the minister and one's job to think about. Others had political
aspirations, deals, and contracts to consider. Everyone had a good excuse.
A dread came over the land but everyone
pretended it didn't exist. The President was shot and that seemed to mark the
end of any further leadership that the people believed in. Bang-bang-bang;
anyone seen as a voice, with charisma, with passion was shot. Oh, there was the
silly stories, of this lone madman or that, doing the dirty deeds. People didn't
believe, but they didn't want to talk about it for fear they'd be labeled
"other". Words were put out through the media of conspiratorial nuts, suspicious
crazies etc., and that was that.
And then the dope came and came and
came. It filled the ghettos, city streets and small-town America. People started
killing and gangs formed. Families were shattered, and more and more jails were
built, and specialty police emerged in scary uniforms. They made a big ta do of
crashing down doors in drug busts. Never in rich gated estates, but in tenements
and poor towns. Lots of times, they got the wrong apartments or trailer, but
since they weren't raiding posh resorts or wealthy enclaves there wasn't much
reporting or actions taken.
After awhile people became desensitized.
Every night on the news, it was a body, a shooting, crying, screaming, bombs
dropping shredding foreign people; and then pretty soon people just went on
eating supper, waiting for the sports reports or weather. The Vietnam War ended
and they built another memorial for people to go and touch a name. The men who
survived were poisoned, or emotionally paralyzed, and went to live under bridges
or in parks. The Secretary of Defense, Robert McNamara, remarked years later,
when writing a book, that it (Vietnam) was all a mistake. He never went under
any bridges and told the guys living with rats that he was sorry that their
lives were stolen and their buddies dead. Why should he care, he, the President
of the World Bank and all, he was warm and well fed not poisoned with deformed
children.
And then the downtowns across the land
all emptied. One by one the mills, foundries, and factories closed. No more
downtown shopping, with sidewalks cracked and store windows boarded and empty.
Big mega-stores and malls filled the nation. Malls, everywhere, covered over the
fields of flowers, the clay mines and the waterfalls. Strangers shopped in these
fortress mazes with a glazed intensity, plastic credit cards in hand, delaying
payment to another time. It was all so convenient. No longer neighbors, but
strangers told to shop no matter the crisis.
No one, except a few of the elders
remembered when there were no cameras on highways, downtown streets, places of
work and in every store. Soundproof barriers (or so they said) were built along
stretches of thruways, and concrete barriers stood at the edges of the most
obscure roads. People shook their heads, but nobody questioned. After all, the
authorities had everything in hand. More prisons were built and casinos. More
malls and generic fast food junk restaurants, drive through, so you need never
speak to a neighbor, just plastic food in plastic booths for plastic people.
Small town drug-hardware and five and
ten stores went out of business. Lots and lots of cheap plastic junk from China
now filled mega stores. Strangers pushed and shoved, for the newest marked down
gadget, that TV told them they just had to have, or the newest novelty toy.
Nobody cared that the junk broke in a week or two or three. Nobody asked or
cared that this trash was put together in slave labor shops, where people worked
seven days a week-twelve hours a day for pennies an hour. They didn't care
because they didn't have to care and besides there wasn't time.
The elders told of how family doctors
once came with their black bags to their homes, and delivered a baby or tended
to an illness. You could afford the needed medicine or a hospital stay. And then
that all disappeared, except for the very wealthy, and the politicians, who made
sure the laws and care they were voting into place, for the "human resources",
wouldn't affect them. And then doctors were no longer doctors but technocrats. A
drone worker far away, in a cubicle with a computer in front of them, would tell
the doctor (with a dozen years education) that so and so wasn't eligible for any
specialty tests or operation. So people died, but they died quietly out of
sight, from medical neglect and greed. And the men who were once known as
doctors never said a word. They just obeyed like everybody else.
The elders in the schools were gotten
rid of, and new change agents put in. No more teaching went on, but something
called social engineering replaced the creativity and enthusiasm that learning
once had. Children were programmed to study for tests not to read, write, and
discover. Those who were more free-spirited, inquisitive, rambunctious (as
children will be) were prescribed drugs to bring them into line. The handicapped
and special needs children, were put into regular classrooms, which resulted in
nobody receiving the special attentions that were required to reach their
highest potential. But to say anything had you "marked" as intolerant and a
trouble-maker. Private schools, had the rich and protected ones, not having to
endure such nonsense. These few received moneyed educations, the very best, so
that they too, would one day inherit the positions and money of their fathers.
Lots of new words came into being.
Really meaningless, but who knew, they sounded important. Public-Private
Partnerships (you pay they play), consensus (a predetermined decision) win-win
(lose-lose for you), due diligence (busy nothingness), Regional (local
government dismantled), Privatization (profits over people), micro-managing
(don't question authorities' decisions), etc.
Trade Agreements, Summits, the World
Bank, the International Monetary Fund, the World Trade Organization, and armies
of lobbyists saw to the corporatization of the people's business, with the
Congress and Senate, really just props, with lots of perks but little power.
They pretty much turned all the work and decisions they were responsible for,
over to the Executive Branch and corporate honchos, which left them free to hold
senseless hearings, meaningless votes, and fact finding missions (vacations)
abroad. They voted themselves yearly raises, lucrative pensions, and health
care. That's about it. Oh, at election time, they showed up to have scut work
done and tell people they cared.
One day the clouds disappeared, and
planes flew back and forth smearing the sky with chemical trails, that soon
turned turquoise sunshine days into dusty murkiness. Nobody looked up, they just
kept shuffling to the malls, the casinos, to vacation, and to work. The few who
did, were quickly put in the category of "others" and that was that. Nobody
wanted ever to be called an "other". No matter who you asked, nobody, no
official nor any politician, could tell you why the sun was gone? They too were
afraid and just shrugged. There used to be lots of birds and bees but they
disappeared, or were found dead, with some disease or maybe the stuff smeared in
the sky killed them? Nobody knew? Frogs were found grotesquely deformed but that
was quickly hushed up and people were told not to eat the fish because of
mercury.
NAFTA, the WTO, the IMF, GATT, and Trade
Summits, saw our nation dismantled, brick by brick and town by town. It was a
race to the bottom in setting up this new global plantation, which saw the few
at the top, cleaning up in the newest industries of terrorism, war, waste, and
the plundering and privatizing of the world's resources, even the water. Still
people went shopping, to the video stores and pretended everything would fix
itself. Imagine. Even the taking of the water kept everybody silent!
The oil and gas people, took over the
oceans to drill and despoil, so that ended the fishing industry. They made up
lies about fish stocks being depleted and who could argue with them? The
corporate advisors had written all the rules for the new plantation. Family
farms went under, not able to compete with mega-corporate farms. Trade deals saw
poison fruits and vegetables shipped in, and that wiped out all the hard work of
protecting our nations food/meat supplies. Why there were so many books of laws
and rules, that nobody, especially the politicians knew what was what? They just
voted in the middle of the night the way the lobbyists told them to.
Since there were no jobs, you had a
choice of going to prison or off to war. The exceptions were the money-people's
children. They still went to Ivy League colleges (nobody else could afford), off
to Europe, for that well-rounded life and spring break. Prisons were built
everywhere. More prisons than schools. Those who weren't locked up for
non-violent offenses, watched the ones who were, for poor wages. Everybody beat
everybody else up to keep them in line. Corporate America moved a lot of their
jobs into the prisons, because it was much cheaper having slave labor and no
benefits or salaries to pay. Other jobs were taken by the special guest visas
that the lobbyists had the politicians vote on. The corporate lobbyists, also
made it convenient for the ones making all the money, to have off-shore tax free
accounts and special subsidies to ship all the jobs in America, off to places
that paid the least and had no messy environmental standards. Everybody talked
about special treaties protecting the environment but that was a lie since the
Third World countries were conveniently exempted.
Nobody knew what to do so they did
nothing. They just waited but they didn't know what for? More and more laws were
made. Searches at airports (not for the elite or politicians) had people
conditioned and programmed to obey. This was kind of silly, seeing all these
educated people, made subservient and shuffling to people with GEDs who were
paid minimum wage. Meantime planes were packed with cargo that nobody checked so
it never was about security but about obedience to the rules. On Sept 11-01 the
towers, one other building, and the Pentagon all imploded or had things crashing
into them. They said some Arab men trained on crop dusters did this fancy
maneuvering of giant planes. No skyscraper buildings had ever imploded from fire
before this, and nobody seemed to think it was wrong that all the steel from
this "crime scene" was shipped to China? Anyway, after that all Americans became
Arabs, because that was the newest group targeted to fear. Everyone became
suspect, Arab or not. Who watched the watchers nobody knew? Everybody just
followed orders, all the way down the line, and searched their neighbors,
demanded triple ID, put them on lists, or if they protested anywhere; gassed
them, hit them with clubs, shocked them with stun guns or arrested them.
Everyone just "followed orders" but nobody really knew the identity of the
Wizard behind the curtain issuing these orders? Some of the ones dressed in
helmets, with shields and fancy equipment, enjoyed their new jobs of beating
people. Now they were important, and they were the boss. This is very important
when you've always been a nobody or bullied. Power, even beating people up
power, is like an aphrodisiac. Everybody felt depressed, sad, frustrated and
powerless. They couldn't exactly tell you why, just that they knew everything
was changed and ruined forever. No more grandmas in aprons, downtown streets
filled with neighbors, no more factory whistle or friendly peace officers. No
more college education for the auto worker's boy, or the home that people always
dreamed of owning. The global plantation owners wanted the whole earth for
themselves and so they took it. They wanted all people as slaves working and
working till they dropped dead. It really wasn't about money, but a perverse
power, that made some men quite mad. The people felt frightened, because they
knew in their hearts that the inmates were in charge and they had the keys.
Nobody said this out loud of course. Yikes, then you would be called "other",
and told to move out of the country if you didn't like things they way they
were. Of course, there was no other country to move to, since it was a global
plantation, but most people were still very dumb (kept deliberately so), on the
real business of the power brokers of the world. Why, heck, everyone still
thought there were two parties to choose from and that a new President would
save them all. They really did.
People became mean-spirited, suspicious,
or just disappeared into their cocoon lives. Streets were silent and echoing at
night. People lived their lives vicariously through the movies or as voyeurs
watching from a distance. But then something magical began to happen. No one
knew from whence the song came or the light? It wasn't just the one song or the
one act of love, but the cumulative acts, that took place daily throughout the
world.
It wasn't a heroic act or great speech.
Great happenings never are. It was that one last song on a back country road,
that a man sang- thinking it was just another lonely yodel. It was the meal
served in a city soup kitchen, the elderly woman who bathed her paralyzed
husband, the women with their protest signs against polluting a community, the
social worker moving a widow, the bird on a faucet given as a gift. It was the
lighted candle in a darkened church, the woman who saved a whale, the man who
laid down his gun and said, "I will not kill another." And then one day--the
final act of unselfish love dispelled the darkness and made it light. No act
however removed, however small, is unimportant and unheard. Yours may be the one
act today, that brings the love and peace that wipes away every tear and makes a
fearful people strong again. You are the most important person in the world
today. Your act may be the one.
Once upon a time, come with me I'll take
you there. Once upon a time, so many stories we can share. And who knows what
we'll find?

Proud to be an
'other'.
22.May.2006 08:00
Helen L. Crowe,
I still remember the days of yore when
families and neighbors and home town shops and get togethers were our way of
life. We knew all the merchants, and the grocer would take the items we wanted
off the shelf, and write the amount on the paper bag, add it up and we'd pay the
bill, have a chat with others in the store, and walk home. We'd go to the
butcher and choose a cut of meat, have it wrapped in a piece of waxed paper and
mother would roast or fry it, and the whole family would dine together every
night. Papa would go to the mill or factory where work started at 7:00am. Many
lived close enough so they could go home for lunch with Mama and then go back to
work. There were very few rolling stones. Most workers remained in the same
company all their working lives and when age forced them to stop working, they
were awarded with a gold watch and good wishes. Having a college graduate in a
family was a miracle. Many young ladies went to Normal School to become
teachers, and those who aspired to become nurses went to the nursing school of
the local hospital. Factories took the young men under their wings and offered
them apprenticeships. They became the foremen and toolmakers and worked up to
becoming engineers. Of course we suffered through the depression after the crash
in 1929, and there were no programs to provide compensation. For the young men
there was the Civilian Conservation Corps that gave them shelter, clothing, and
a new way of life in the great outdoors, planting trees, making trails, and
fighting forest fires as well as having $25. of their $30. compensation sent
back home to their needy families. The National Recovery Act stimulated
business, and of course the coming war in Europe was a factor in bringing us out
of the depression too. Then December 7, 1941 was another turning point in all
our lives. We had perils facing us in the Orient and in Europe and the Mideast.
Our whole way of life was changed. The young volunteered or were drafted into
the military, and the women went into the shops and factories. Instead of
automobiles being built, tanks and airplanes and ships were the needed products.
War bonds and war stamps instead of lotteries were the best investments, and
gasoline was rationed, cooking fat was returned to the market, and many other
foods were rationed, and there were always long lines of customers waiting to
buy food, but hardships were accepted without people complaining. In fact there
was a comradeship among everyone. In so many front windows hung a Gold Star
placed there by a mother who had lost her son. The returning veterans were
greeted with joy and appreciation, and those who chose could further their
education at the expense of the government, and also buy a home with a lower
mortgage rate, and the Veterans Administration took good care of those who had
been injured. There were 'others' way back then, starting with the election of
FDR. I can remember when I was able to vote for the first time in 1944, I was so
excited that I was at the polls the minute they opened. I so admired Eleanor
Roosevelt, and she was the first person I wrote to who was in government. Then I
wrote to Harry S. Truman many times, and would end my letters saying that I
didn't expect an answer, because I knew how busy he was. He didn't answer my
letters, but my letters were referred to the department where the subject of my
letter was about, and I would receive an answer from them! I always sent him a
birthday card! Then I worked diligently for Adlai Stevenson and Estes Kefauver.
I always wonder what our world would be like if Adlai had won. It took Ike's
final address to be able to say something nice about his administration! I never
could understand why we turned our backs on Castro and Cuba. And now I cannot
understand why we are so fearful of communism and socialism while these South
American countries are trying to improve the life style of their people. After
the questionable events of Sept. 11, 2001 I'm still an 'other'. In 2002 a group
of us would stand on the corner protesting even the thoughts of going into Iraq.
All that year through heat and snow we protested, and then in 2003 our protests
were against War with Iraq. And now some of our signs also say War with Iran,
NO. We 'others' are against any warfare, and we will continue to do our best to
change the direction of our country. With great trepidation we face 2008 and
wonder what direction the next generation will be herded into when we read all
the hateful thoughts being expressed by supposedly good Americans on the blogs.
Our most important act is to find leaders who are not self serving but only are
concerned with making life on earth heavenly for every person.
Transportation Security
Administration officials have announced two major changes:
Travelers may now carry through
security checkpoints travel size toiletries ( 3 oz or less) that fit
comfortably in ONE, Quart- SIZE, clear plastic, zip top bag. Pay attention
and follow directions or that trip to Disney World can be cancelled!
After clearing security, travelers
can now bring beverages and other items purchased in the secure boarding
area, on-board the aircraft.
At the checkpoint travelers will be
asked to remove the zip-top bag of liquids and place it in a bin or on the
conveyor belt, x-raying separately will allow TSA security officers to more
easily examine the declared items.
I suppose that if you've been on
vacation and bought a jug of Maple Syrup; you're going to have to drink all
but three ounces? This is what happens when billions of dollars are thrown
to the wind to create these ridiculous alphabet agencies. Follow the money
a few are making billions off of this Mad Hatter's Tea Party! Transportation
Security Screeners will now be called 'supervisors'; because important
titles will make it appear that these recent GED graduates or former
employees of Block Buster etc know what they're doing; as they order
folks around (who can afford to travel and they can't) pawing them, swabbing
their briefcases and ordering wheelchair bound seniors to remove orthopedic
shoes: as colostomy bags and heart medications and hip replacements are
carefully gone over! Nursing mothers meantime are made to prove that its
milk that has breasts hanging heavy and not nitroglycerin. Toddlers with
sneakers or stuffed animals will be carefully scrutinized.
This man a WWII veteran who
supposedly 'fought for freedom', is subjected to the indignity of a
rent-a-cop treating him like he's just come in from the mountains of
Afghanistan! I DOUBT Barbara and George Bush (senior) would be treated like
this! What has Congress done to stop this insanity of marking citizens as
the 'enemy'? Nothing!
Wearing flip flops, no matter, it
has to be understood that all of this Tom foolery has NOTHING to do with
shoes, old spice, hair gel, or mouth wash; and everything to do with
ordering and controlling masses of people; who are basically at their
mercy, (traveling) for the sake of behavior modification and forming
obedient passive non-complaining drones.
Repeat after me" I feel so much
safer, I don't mind strangers seeing me naked-and ordering me to throw my
denture cream and bunion remover etc, in the waste can. Who knows what
explosives could be hidden in a senior citizen's colostomy bag. The
government knows best".
After you're searched and prodded,
frisked, scanned, sniffed, and carefully watched; least you make some
suspicious movement, you are then subjected to the body scanner, which
will have these rent-a-cops radiating and undressing you in case all the
groping, metal detectors missed something! Radiation no need to fear, the
government announces it as SAFE!
"Freedom's just another word".note
that the Executive branch, the Supreme Court , visiting dignitaries,
(including renowned diabolical dictators), the President's family,
corporate executives etc; are not subjected to these Gestapo tactics. NO,
these machines and rent-a-cops are not on our southern border. Only
American's are subjected to this scrutiny. No matter what your thoughts are
on immigration it stands to reason that legions of 'terrorists' could
simply walk in here while 93 year old seniors are being frisked!
The face and body language
specialists (just rent-a-cops with ties and fancier badges) will be
carefully observing you from the shadows; to check off things pertaining to
your face or movements; that might show you for the liar, manipulator, and
contemptible threat to humanity that you really are, and thus not fit to
travel! You may be the unfortunate person who is just naturally petulant,
harried, or (like Cheney) born with a perpetual sneer, which will have you
pulled aside and interrogated! The message appears to be that one must
remain placid and emotionless-and fearful!
It's really about conformity and
compliance and has nothing to do with protecting the nation. Common sense
will tell you that! PLEASE toothpaste, hair gel, baby formula etc!
Why a terrorist would use an
airport, when we have 6 million + cargo containers (unsearched) entering the
country yearly beats me? This doesn't count the hundreds of thousands of
trucks (recently passed by Congress) entering over the Mexican border!
There is no feasible way to check what's on these semis! Meantime,
passengers manhandled and searched; then get onto planes filled with tons of
UNSEARCHED cargo under their feet! No it's not about security.
I suggest that these scanners
searchers prodders - and behavioral monitors be posted at the: White
House, the Supreme Court, the Defense Dept, the State Department, Congress,
Capitol hallways, and the local watering holes and board rooms; to catch
the real threats to representative democracy. Hey, maybe we'll find that $2
trillion missing from the Defense Dept, or the paltry $9 billion that
disappeared in Iraq (under Bremer). Maybe it's just paranoid me; but I think
millions of containers from a country that has stolen all of our trade
secrets; is a lot more suspicious than liquid wart remover, or a
ninety-three year old Alzheimer patient, in orthopedic terrorist shoes!
Hmm, now if we were politicians or corporate honchos, we could bypass this
pawing and and fly in corporate privacy! But then, this is all just
practice for the management of the global plantation.
"But I don't want to go among mad
people, Alice remarked. 'Oh, you can't help that', said the Cat: 'we're all
mad here. I'm mad. You're mad'. 'How do you know I'm mad?' said Alice. 'You
must be' said the Cat 'or you wouldn't have come here'. Alice didn't think
that proved it at all; however, she went on 'And how do you know that you're
not mad?' 'To begin with, 'said the Cat, 'a dog's not mad. You grant that?'
'I suppose so', said Alice. 'Well, then', the Cat went on, 'you see, a dog
growls when it's angry, and wags its tail when its pleased. Now I growl when
I'm pleased, and wag my tail when I'm angry. Therefore I'm mad'. Alice in
Wonderland.
Bye Bye Miss American Pie
By Judith Moriarty
3-31-7
I get the distinct feeling that
America has been written off and is being sold off to the highest bidder
(real estate-infrastructure). These past few decades have seen an exodus of
livable wage jobs and industry to foreign lands. Once upon a time- a man
working in a steel mill, auto plant, mfg job could support his family and
see his children off to college to better themselves. This is no longer
possible working at minimum wage stagnant wages, in the prison industry
(our fastest growing), Wal-Mart, Home Depot, or making snow! (Wal-Mart
largest employer in NH)
Yesterday's news (CNN) reported
that 30 miles outside the Beltway, there is little attention paid to the
citizens concerns that it's the 'lobbyists who are the overlords'! There
is a great exodus of corporate businesses to the Arab Emirates. Dubai,
Halliburton's destination, is one of seven. It's convenient that this is a
tax haven (they making billions off Iraq war and no extradition treaty)
Most uninformed Americans, if they think of these lands at all (not to be
confused with Saudi Arabia an impossible place of control), imagine a
backward place of camels and nomadic tribes. I don't think so!
300 private islands are being
built. You can have your own private island with villa from $10million to
$36 million (chicken feed when you're worth billions).
While America is rusting away, OIL
money, thanks to the war, has this area awash in billions. They are
investing these multi- billions in profits building themselves a global city
of the future. Most of the population is expatriates (European- Westerners)
who enjoy luxurious lifestyles; absent decaying tenements, polluting
chemical plants, millions of unemployed, rusting mill towns, and Wal-Mart
junk stores. Western style dress, churches, country clubs, yacht clubs,
corporate (tax free zone) headquarters, and a housing boom; is the order of
the day, real estate in America goes belly up. OH, I forgot, finally
Congress is thinking of holding HEARINGS on predatory lenders (per usual a
day late and a dollar short). Numerous corporate headquarters are moving to
this Utopia as millions of immigrants, driven from Mexico, due to a FAILED
NAFTA treaty are seeking work in America for slave wages. Meantime, with all
of our bluster, we can't build a levee, or adequate housing for the millions
of dispossessed Super Power nation that we are. Instead, our BILLIONS are
being spent on, not construction, or quality of life issues, but on melting
bombs, tanks, missiles, napalm, and depleted uranium weaponry; that will
leave invaded lands (citizens & military personnel) poisoned. Depleted
uranium, used because, "it cuts through metal like butter" has a half life
of 4.5 billion years! Let's look at the difference between expenditures on a
future global city and the state of America!
Note Dubai is not selling off its
highways to foreign interests because they can no longer maintain them
which are what's happening in America!
Dubai Palace entryway (walls
covered in gold leaf)
City streets are safe to walk on at
any time of night without the fear of a 101 year old woman (New York) being
mugged for $33.00 or children being abducted by depraved perverts (no Amber
Alert Danger Stranger here)
Skeletal ruins of industry are the
norm across America
The first things to be rebuilt in
the Gulf region were the casinos while the multitudes are still homeless
in 2007.
America is decaying and left to
ruination
With no disaster plan for the
citizens (there are bunkers for the chosen) a crisis sees them hungry,
thirsty, and homeless (with the media blaming the victims in many cases!)
Right, like the citizens are responsible for a levee system built by an
incompetent Army Corp of Engineers, that (never updated) only meets a
Category 2 hurricane (with billions of $ unaccounted for)! Of course with
Louisiana the most corrupt state in the Union little wonder multitudes
drowned!
Millions of American farms are
gone; replaced with corporate farms and their genetically altered crops
with factory dairy, chicken, and hog farms places of impossible filth and
disease!
Meantime Dubai not spending its
billions on weapons of destruction, is readying itself for the rats jumping
ship in America with their ill-gotten gains.
With no 'news' whose to know, that
the EPA sees NO problem in seeing the mountains of West Virginia destroyed,
in what's called Mountain-top removal (for coal veins). To date a quarter of
this state's mountains have been destroyed and who, besides the folks in
West Virginia are protesting?
Those who dare to speak out are
quickly silenced
Back from Iraq, with millions made
from defective vests; a military contractor held a $10 million dollar party
in New York for his daughter!
Back in the 70s & 80s, people were
encouraged to get their children a high tech education, with the industrial
age ending (shipped abroad). Now in 2007 these jobs are being outsourced or
employees are being replaced with H1-B skilled visa workers (voted by
Congress) who will work for half the wages (no pensions, no health
insurance, and no vacations).
Veterans make do in tents down by
the river no photo opportunities here for politicians, or those supporting
war hanging yellow ribbons or putting yellow stickers (made in CHINA) on
their bumpers!
Meantime off Dubai --- the oil
money keeps pouring in.
Across America, factories are
shuttered, with gray haunted men being told by Washington to retrain as
programmers or nurse's aids (true).
As in Gulf War I the offspring of
the wealthy oil sheiks are spending their leisure in a huge indoor ski
slope. Gulf War I saw them take off for the French Rivera while American
youth fought for their protection. It's no different today, with our
military protecting oil fields, now (not on news) that the new hydro-carbon
law is in place, giving the great part of these oil fields (not to Iraqi
citizens) to private oil companies ( billions of untapped reserves). And you
thought it was for 'liberation or democracy'!
If you repeat a lie long enough
most everyone will believe it.
War for tens of thousands of our
maimed and brain damaged veterans, will last a lifetime a lifetime of
having to be RATED for disability, and trying to maneuver through a
governmental maze of impossible bureaucracy. It's never ceased to amaze me,
that politicians ( we pay 72% of their premium costs) don't have to beg for
medical care nor are they RATED when it comes time for their obscene
pensions (with yearly cost of living increases).

American Pie"..JM

Keeping
in mind the Utopian city that Dubai is building with its oil revenues let
us have a look at America! It appears to me, that much like the Titanic, we
are watching the elite jumping ship, and leaving those in steerage to drown
Not only Halliburton, but dozens of U.S/UK companies are relocating to
this TAX FREE haven(including Reuters, Sony, Microsoft etc). While Dubai is
building 300 private islands (for the ultra wealthy) and three major
islands, (100 private islands) with towns' houses, malls, parks, etc, we
can't build a levee! Nor do we have any disaster plan!
They call this a levee meant to
hold back ocean waters!
Blackwater (private security
service) protected the homes of the wealthy (while the poor were drowning or
dying of heat prostration)
in New Orleans untouched (phew) by
floods.
America's disaster plan 'let'em
die'.
Arrest people trying to survive !
The economy is booming with McSlop
Prisons, (privatized) Walmart, and Home Depot (no affordable housing).
Business is booming with factories
closed!
Business is booming with echoing
mills!
Business is booming with millions
of family farms bankrupted! Corporate farms now get billions in subsidies!
Business is booming with hundreds
of mill towns shuttered and empty with industry sent overseas! Congress
meantime votes hundreds of thousands of guest work (skilled) to foreigners
to replace American's in Information Technology engineering, nursing etc.
Business IS booming (lot of gold)
in Dubai; where war profits and the price of OIL, is building a Utopia, for
the oil soaked hucksters, and those making billions on non-bid military
contracts! Meantime benefits are cut for veterans or they're rated 20%
disabled with a missing arm!
Business is booming with relocated
oil executives, lawyers, etc, shopping in Dubai.
Business is booming (U.S.)
abandoned Alcoa plant in New Jersey!
Business is booming- buy your own
private island (300 being constructed) in Dubai from $10.8 million to $36
million.
Business is booming, closed paper
mill in NH new PRISON jobs promised our fasting growing industry besides
Wal-Mart!
Business is booming housing for
dispossessed in the Gulf - in Super Power U.S.A.
Business is booming in Dubai with
water front homes being sold months before they're built!
Baracknophobia

Even the most ardent of Barack Obama's supporters
generally will confess to a small, nagging
(dare I say niggling?) doubt about the object of their ardor.
Similarly, even Obama's most vocal opposition stops
and stares just a bit overlong when they see him speaking.
What an odd situation.

The British
Genocidal Roots of Mayor Bloomberg's Madness Richard Freeman and Jeff Steinberg
Pdf. file
My colleague Jeff Steinberg and I, at Executive Intelligence
Review, have recently published a new 18 page study, entitled,
"The British Genocidal Roots of Mayor Bloomberg's Madness." It
focuses on the the Eugenics-Nazi-environmentalist movement whose
purpose is to eliminate sovereign nation states, and replace them
with a genocidal Lombard League of Cities. The package includes a
flow chart "The Genocidal Lombard League of Cities," with an
accompanying 14 page section with overviews on the 31
institutions that appear in the flow chart, including the British
Empire; the Bank of England; Prince Philip: the Nazi- Eugenics
Movement; H.G. Wells and Julian Huxley; the Worldwide Fund for
Nature; IUCN; International Council for Local Environmental
Initiatives (ICLEI); New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg; synarchist
Felix Rohatyn, etc.
Code of Conduct JB Campbell Posted: 6-01-08 .....If
Bush attacks Iran it might trigger two other things.
The first one would be a declaration of a national emergency
and with it the arrests of political dissidents under
what FEMA calls Operation Garden Plot.
We can all imagine what our lives would become under martial law,
even for those of us who are not immediately arrested.
There would be shortages and deprivations
and great difficulty in movement, mainly due to the high cost of fuel,
but also because of military/police roadblocks.
We would have to justify our driving and even walking around,
the way Palestinians and Iraqis do now,
and to the same people – Judeo-American cops and soldiers....

screaming loons at the
Palm Beach election center to the

shores of Montezuma to
David Motari’s puppy tossing,
it’s been a hard Se7en years.
I can
honestly say that I saw it coming.
I saw Mr. Executioner demagoging
out of Texas and I looked at the source
of the money
behind him and I said
to myself, “Bush… head for the mountains.”
And metaphorically speaking,
that is what happened..."

Weapons of Mass Destruction
Found
(An Address to the Dead)
by Michael Tsarion
.........The Evangelist
preaches Masonic (Atonist) doctrines,
but you buy into it because you want "Daddy" so badly
and because you have sold your own sanity for security.
You are a safe in numbers.
You are a "believer" on your way to the "promised land."
Or so you think.
Actually, you operate on the "slave-think" level
and do your master's bidding unawares.
You have grown accustomed to your prison and your
servitude to death and lies.
The biggest threat in your world is Truth.
As long as you have a few cushions for your cell,
so to speak, some salt in your gruel,
and as long as you are permitted an opinion or two
within the political den created by your masters,
you are okay with a mediocre lifestyle and the regimented
predictability of your conformist and artificial existence.
You have convinced your screaming soul that it is safer
and better to just conform and be a repressed,
toxic, thoughtless, frustrated, and programmed orc marching
to the drum-beat of your imperious marshals......

..."Really, why should you? This is coming
from a regular citizen-some Jane or
Johnny Paycheck blowing off some steam
at all the taxes they have to pay,
the ever increasing body of laws,
rules and regulations they must suffer.
Suffer the ever increasing contacts
with government officials of all types
enforcing the millions of pages of law
-or is it millions of laws-that they require
us all to obey. The article itself even looks
long-like it’s some kind of overblown
antigovernment rant. Well, it is...."

THE BROKEN CROSS
by Piers Compton
The expose from his book
tells us of
the initiation of “Cardinal” Roncalli into
Rosicrucian Masonry. Roncalli was the
same cleric who later in the 1958
Conclave, snatched the Chair of Peter
by the devious assistance
of the B’nai B’rith, the Jewish Masonic
arm that controls all the instruments
of world power today. The seal of
the Conclave was broken by their agent
in the person of Cardinal Tisserant
of France. It is also interesting to note
that since Roncalli falsely stole the Chair
of Peter, a very large number
of Cardinals have also been exposed
as secret Masons. ( Quotation from:
