600 billion for "defense"-- You got a problem wit' dat?

::::::::


In 1963, John F. Kennedy decided the Vietnam “War” was a bad idea.
What had begun with 41 “advisors” had turned into the assassination of our self-appointed head of the Vietnamese state and twelve billion dollars a month to the “defense” industry.
He decided to end it. A few months later, he was dead.
When Enron began it’s death spiral after ripping off 35 billion dollars from grandmothers and small businesses in California, G. W. Bush denied knowing Ken Lay, the CEO of Enron.
Lay had been the recipient of personal, hand-signed letters from Bush, who addressed the letters to “Kenny Boy”, and received lavish birthday gifts from Lay.
Shortly after Enron's collapse, the treasurer of Enron committed suicide in the left turn lane, on his way home.
Many who have evidence in national policy events like JFK’s death and Enron's demise have died mysteriously.
Now we are engaged in choosing a Presidential Candidate.
Any candidate who expressed concern at spending over 600 billion dollars on “defense” takes an extreme risk of dying mysteriously.
The problem with entrenched interests like the oil companies is that innovation is stifled.
The value of human freedom is qualified, human life is degraded. Human rights are circumscribed. Common sense is discarded.
Our greatest strength is hobbled by buggy-whip companies which dominate government with money. Regardless of the human tragedy from Prohibition or the environmental consequences of petro-diesel, entrenched interests have no place in government.
They are putting mercury is our air, pig feces in our rivers, antibiotics in our food, Bisphelnol-A in mother’s milk. They have patented and take profit from our very genes. That's right, we no longer own the very genes in our own bodies. They have patented life, itself, and, I believe, killed anyone who stands in their way.
“The love of money is the source of all evil.” Even now, no prominent politician dares to stand against them.
