In 1968, According to a Stanley Hilton, who was Senator Dole's chief attorney for 20 years the phrase "SCARE THE PUBLIC INTO SUBMISSION" came of age for them in 1968. That year, the present leaders of our nation, including Wolfowitz, Feith, Tenet and Bush plus Hilton attended Ohio University. We were Nazis, Hilton states, and we talked always of controlling the world. According to Hilton, he wrote his thesis on "How Easy it Would Be to frighten voters into complete submission: all we need, he pointed out, is to arrange a Pearl Harbor.
It is time we, the peace organizations, reversed the Bush Crime Rings "scare" technique and pushed it down their throats. Obviously, if It worked for them, it can work for us. This is our opportunity. All the signs suggest that the public is awakening, a lot of them embarrassed and angry at having bought a pack of lies, prime candidates for a membership drive, and for the needed hands, feet, and minds and voices to reverse this flow of fear. We have at least a hundred organizations, well organized, rapidly expanding. Combined, that adds up to People Power.
We need to understand that we are facing Nazis who kicked off their plan to control the World in 1968 and who have proved willing and able to lie, cheat, destroy and murder and torture.
But we have leaders such as Veterans for Peace from Viet Nam. We and they can stop war again.
We, with eyes and ears, that span both periods, have watched it happen. We need, all of us, to study and understand how, who, and what worked-and why. Can we work smoothly in combined groups as the corporations. Can we operate as 4 groups, as the corporations have. What they have done we can do.
From the start, you'll see not one enemy, but two: linked! And the real stench emerges from the corporations. The other enemy, Bush and friends, the friends by nature and nurture high-stye criminals, climbed aboard as tools. So now you have the Nazi's and the corporations. Step back 30 years and you'll find hundreds, perhaps thousands, of corporations: Each really a slight-of-hand out of focus image? a trick. Each is individual with its own management: add the Nazis, who, regarding chores, are neither fussy, nor concerned as to what they put their hands to and it exudes power.
But no one owns the corporate system. It's available and free. Now we are down to "how."
The corporations did the legal dirt. As a first step, with help from legal friendlies, thus, with no one watching the henhouse, they did the parent-child thing -how threatening could parents and kids look?- while combining into what authorities count, now, after-the-fact, as four bloated, all-powerful "Trust's" ready and willing to "nurture" themselves. At that point they recruited Bush and his pack of rats. They proved ideal for the job.
But, remember, they are Nazi, and panting to get on with controlling the planet, the job they launched in 1968. To do it, they both weakened and ignored the Anti-Trust Laws. However, that means they are, now, as weak for us as for them. That leaves the next probable step as consolidating our helter-skelter, duplicating groups into a powerful four and following it up with an injection of fear.
If you want to plant the fear of the devil in the Oval Office, I suggest that we inhale a load of vigor and aim at providing citizens with a system that proves every vote is counted once. Study IRV. Isn't it standard in Australia, Ireland and New Zealand? And, recently, hasn't it become so in a number of our cities and states. It allows a poor man, one of the PEOPLE, to run for office, makes cheating difficult and voting easy. Never doubt how badly that can frighten the crooks. They can't survive an honest voting system.
That leaves, to do, re-organizing our groups.
Can we squeeze our masses into The Fighting Four, fighting to stop this ugly War. It is time to take back control our Nation.
It's time to scare the Crime Ring in the Oval Office out of office and into where-ever they can't stain our hands and hearts with still more blood and murder, theft, rape, torture and rampage without our interference.
A program like this, copying the corporation's success, could be a route to democracy and with it justice and peace? Or if you prefer, peace and justice. The two are inoperable Siamese twins. You can't have one without the other. If we choose to combine bodies and brains, we can create an atmosphere of fear and dump it onto the Nazi would-be world dictators illegally occupying the Oval Office. United, we can make the Bush Crime Ring very uneasy.
The corporate world calls their combination of many into a few, a "trust." They boiled down thousands of theirs into four; and, with their consolidated power they are teetering on the edge of ruling the world! With our maze of Peace Groups consolidated to four, each handling an issue, we have an opportunity to replace the Bush program of terror and destruction with one involved in a search for peace. We have the tools. Where do we start? I suggest putting our voting system into a food chopper and chopping out a system that's honest and fair.
To lay the fear of the devil on these bums, we next announce loudly and clearly that we intend to replace the present voting system with IRV. For readers not informed, under an IRV voting system any citizen, so choosing, can get on the ballet for any public office through citizen endorsements: and as I have mentioned, IRV is gaining adherents here. With IRV, we are voting for issues, rather than fortunes, IRV erases the nightmare of cheating. Imagine how badly that can frighten these crooks who have set up housekeeping in the Oval Office. One item they can't survive is an honest vote.
Emily saw her first article in print 71 years ago. Subsequently, twenty-six earned awards. Mike Lowry, Stew Udall, then Secretary of the Interior, read her work in Congress Recently, Emily stopped when a voice called, ?Wait, I know who you are!? The caller explained, ?When I was 6 years old and my brother was 12, we spent Sunday morning sprawled on his bed reading your column. Now when I can?t stand the world as it is, I read them again.Grasping Emily's hand, she whispered."Thank you.? In 1990 Emily took a haitus to write a book. Today she invites all of you to her hompage to enjoy, Follow the Hawk, Montana Winds and Sometimes Better to Walk than Fly, a collection of the weekly columns a six-year-old kept. emilyhorswill.blogspot.com
Emily, unfortunately, we no longer have FDR available to remind us that, "All we have to fear, is fear itself..."
Fear of distant, odds-against occurrences, like our Sun going nova, a satellite falling on our heads, or our chives leaping out of the bowl to clog our eyes, ears, nose, mouth and navel, or our TV set becoming the Orwellian-1984 two-way squawk-box (MORE LIKELY) are common in our society in which TV and cable fulfill the prophecies of Marshall McLuhan's THE MASSAGE IS THE MEDIA (Not THE MESSAGE IS THE MEDIA, as so many who neither read the book nor saw the film insist), that it takes a lot of bad news, Fear and evil, to sell the GOOD NEWS, the commercial's solutions to life.
America has become a land full of people who are so addicted to material things, they fear losing them is losing everything. Their souls are so bound, gagged and prisoner to objects, that things of the spirit, like courage, are merely done cursory lip-service.
Cowards are people who fear losing what they have invested in a world they will leave, and makes them open and easy targets for fear mongers. Without such fools there would be no Patriot Act or Military Commissions Act of 2006, destroying 9 of the 10 support beams of the Bill Of Rights, and doing deep damage to our Constitution.
These two Democracy destroying "laws" are nothing more than homage to A. Hitler's similar actions against Democracy through his "Christian Democrat" Party.
We need to make courageous people here. Maybe we need to confiscate all the children of cowards and bring them up in schools for courage. However, more realistically and practical, we need to end dependence on Materialism, as we end dependence on oil.
My household has taken steps in that direction by canceling our Cable service and buying dozens of great films for our grandchildren to watch when they visit.
God Bless, Good article.
