Our Moral and Ethical Obligation To Our Returning Troops
And while we are on the subject of FDR, let us use his morality in his obligation for our brave and miscast troops. Thinking years before it's need, Roosevelt said, "Lack of money, should not deprive or prevent any veteran of this war from equipping himself for the most useful employment for which his aptitudes and willingness qualify him... I believe the nation is morally obligated to provide this training and education and necessary financial assistance by which they can be secured," Roosevelt worked hard, as men and women of morality should to provide generous unemployment insurance, job counseling and enhanced medical care as well as low cost loans for buying homes and farms and covering business costs for veterans. The Congress, at the time, was nearly evenly divided between the two parties, and yet the G. I. BILL OF RIGHTS passed both Houses Unanimously!
When they finally return from their tours of duty, they must meet not with soup lines, unemployment and the outsourcing which is throttling our nation now, I read recently that major Poultry and egg producers have threatened Conservationist with taking their poultry business to Asia if the government attempts to make safety over productivity it's concern. I say tell them to, while carrying out their treasonous and contemptuous threats, go straight to Hell and pass a bill denying import of poultry and eggs from anywhere off the North American Continent. If Washington is truly concerned about "Security" the best way to secure our food supply, is to raise everything needed here in America or Canada? So, then a heavy tax on outsourcing food-stuffs, should be imposed on those who produce poultry and eggs, and a heavier still tax upon those who buy outsourced poultry and eggs, or better still, perhaps the industry should be in safer hands than those of Privateers who threaten America's security and food sources to tampering abroad. If medicines, which only a fraction of Americans use, are unsafe to import why should, food, which all Americans use, not be even more unsafe to import-Nationalize food production, before allowing it to go overseas. The money derived form such taxes should them be used to partly support a New G. I. Bill and an insurance company free healthcare plan!
If we are willing to place men and women in the line of fire for some patriotic, even if so misplaced, war, we must provide for the well being of their lives and families, for the time they lost in battle, whether or not we agree that such wars are just. The unjustness of a conflict does and should not fall upon those at the line of duty, but upon those who caused that line of duty to exist. Therefore, the rest of the funding for the New G. I. Bill should be financed by heavily taxing all companies, which received contracts for this war. Most especially and most heavily, those designated as "Uniquely Qualified Contractor" and received No-Bid Contracts.
Let neither avarice nor fascism prevail, but justice!
And What About the Americans Held Hostage By Insane Terrorists In W.D.C.?
"In some ways she was far more acute than Winston, and far less susceptible to Party propaganda. Once when he happened in some connection to mention the war against Eurasia, she startled him by saying casually that in her opinion the war was not happening. The rocket bombs which fell daily on London were probably fired by the Government of Oceania itself, "just to keep the people frightened." -- George Orwell, 1984.
I have said that drug production has burgeoned since Bush took office. Drugs are a boon to fascism. It is their means of controlling society.
Between the money stolen in Iraq and the drug money they, the Bushites and their mercenaries, can "Hit" whomever they wish at any time, can bribe whomever, can hire drugee bums to kill trouble-makers, and then knock off or give up the drugged-out killers as they did Lee Harvey Oswald and Ruby. Between the increase in Drug production in Afghanistan and the money stolen in Iraq a new generation of multi-millionaires and billionaires who are soulless and murderous, have been born
Keeping drug prices low prompts sharply increased addictions, thus people can be addicted and completely enslaved under the control of Drug Dealers. Then, by making drugs scarce and increasing the price the dealers, puppets of politicians, can increase crime frightening anyone most especially family people, who will then agree to give up Rights and Freedoms in order to stop drugs and related crime. Recall Bush's slip of the tongue which went unnoticed by many, "... Americans are addicted to oil..." He had probably just come from a session with his puppeteer, speaking of the increased drug production and profits in Afgahnistan and the subject slipped out. You can control families with drugs and nations with oil. That is exactly what they are doing and you are paying for your own victimization.
I have quoted to you from the evil of Mein Kampf more than once well here is another an oft-repeated quote:
"The size of the lie is a definite factor in causing it to be believed, because the vast masses of a nation are in the depths of their hearts more easily deceived than they are consciously and intentionally bad. The primitive simplicity of their minds renders them more easy victims of a big lie than a small one, because they themselves often tell little lies but would be ashamed to tell big ones.
Such a form of lying would never enter their heads. They would never credit others with the possibility of such great impudence as the complete reversal of facts. Even explanations would long leave them in doubt and hesitation, and any trifling reason would dispose them to accept a thing as true. Something therefore always remains and sticks from the most imprudent of lies, a fact which all bodies and individuals concerned in the art of lying in this world know only too well, and therefore they stop at nothing to achieve this end." ---Adolph Hitler, Mein Kampf.
George Bush Senior pushed through a Bill making movement of $10,000 in cash subject to scrutiny and suspicion at banks, which were forced to report such movement back in the years before Bill Clinton came on board. Step one in trapping Peaceful American Citizens into appearing suspicious and thwarting cash sales and movement.
Hey! Remember I wrote some time back about the tremendous explosion that took place during a gathering of local tribes, in which several important Sunni tribal leaders were among 12 humans killed?
I wonder how many of them heartily approved of the drive to privatize, or perhaps privateer the Oil. The al-Mansour Hotel is well known to Americans and Brits as a place used by foreigners and Iraqi officials.
It was reported that witnesses spotted a Helicopter in the use of Private Security Contractors, flying near the al-Mansour high-rise hotel in Baghdad on June 25, 2007, which is the home of many, foreign diplomats and international news organizations, which was bombed today. It was unclear, which Private Security Contractor's used or owned that helicopter or where it took off from, nor how fast it was flying and in which direction, nor where it landed. This is far from the first time that non-Arabs have been implicated, witnessed, or suspected in such horrors. This is, at least, the third report alleging that Americans and /or Brits disguised as Arabs attempting to set off explosives in either quiet residential districts or in market places.
Thus far, 12 people are known to be dead and 18 wounded, as allegedly a "suicide bomber wearing a vest packed with explosives" was detonated inside the al-Mansour Hotel. However, I ask, how do they know so quickly what caused the blast if it was so massive as to have destroyed as much as was reported in several news broadcasts? And if a living witness was close enough to see the "suicide bomber wearing a vest packed with explosives," who is this witness and how did this alleged "witness" survive the devastation which wrecked the 'reception area and left a lobby full of "charred remains" of people burned by the blast beyond recognition, if he was close enough to see a "suicide bomber wearing a vest packed with explosives?"
If an alleged "witness" was said to have identified a "suicide bomber wearing a vest packed with explosives," why wasn't the wearer identified and apprehended before the massive explosion, which according to witnesses outside the hotel, "Shook the hotel" and other nearby structures and destroyed everything in the lobby? If there was no witness, after such a massive explosion, how could there have been any evidence remaining that pointed to a "suicide bomber wearing a vest packed with explosives?" Some suspect a rat in the woodpile-and perhaps a helicopter-flying rat at that?
Location, Location, Location??? A Real Estate Grab?
Is it true that some Americans and/or Brits, coveted the hotel because of it's location, sitting comfortably on the banks of the Tigris River, near the Green Zone, in Baghdad, and is often used by Iraqi officials visiting the City? Was this bombing a Coincidence? Or are the reports that Americans and Brits are behind many of the bombings in efforts to keep unrest and anger in order to provoke reprisals to facilitate requiring an American presence there until the oil agreement is signed and until Brits and Americans have completed assassinations of most honest Iraqi politicians, and business owners so that contractors can usurp and steal all profitable Iraqi businesses and other enterprises of the Iraqi's, including perhaps this hotel, which has a multiple target appeal?
My last question is what is driving these "Offensives?" Do politicians have access to voting records of those who oppose the new contract to steal all the Iraqi oil profits and anything else of value in the value before they junk it? If so, are they targeting massive strikes to hide assassinations of those who oppose the contracts?
I predict that those among the Iraqi government officials who are now opposing the Oil Deal, (which essentially steals all the oil and related profits and turns them over to American and Brit companies), will soon be, if not bought off, victims of more "al-Qaeda" assassinations, "massive strikes," and/or bombings. However, it makes little difference if the murders are blamed on al-Qaeda, the CIA, The alleged "Cheney White House Basement" Iran Contra type organization supposedly financed by billions stolen from the Iraqi and America citizens, or Rumsfeld's alleged rogue American secret operations group, or "Private Security Contractors," with or without helicopters, they are all on the same side according many-the side which filters profits to some American and Brit oil companies and contractors.
