The War on Terror Is A Faux Issue: No Worse Since 1968!

The "War On Terror" is a phony issue. Terrorism is no worse or more intense than since the first major airline hijacking in 1960. Bush used the disaster, which may have been staged by the same CIA forces that murdered the Kennedy's. Plans for Staging Terrorist by Americans to Start wars are nothing new: Hearst, Teddy Roosevelt, suggestions by Patton to provoke Russia in 1945, CIA suggestions to JFK, plans never revealed to Presidents by CIA. Bush used ruse to obtain complete autonomy to steal coveted oil using Religious, ethnic bigotry to fuel racists.

The War on Terror Is A Faux Issue: No Worse Since 1968!


Bush Faked Out The Nation And The Congress, with an Issue As Phony As Kennedy's Missile Gap!
G W Bush, used an old campaign ploy on Americans, who are ever the suckers with a phony "WAR ON TERROR, A NEW KIND OF WAR...LONG LASTING," actually right out of Orwell's 1984. One must however, ask the question, why were some of us not fooled by the ruse, and why were congress fooled by an obvious, (to some of us) childish TV ploy, worthy of the worst TV hucksters, including Johnny Carson's, famous sleazy Al Fern, but not nearly as humorous.



The plan to carry out the invasion of the oil nations was hatched in a board game designed by a pal and me back in 1960. It was intended as a sarcastic, satirical, commentary, on American fascist, Right Wing greed, lust and covetousness. We called it Total Warfare. We produced high quality board games for fun not profit: metal pieces, huge board, fixed moves per piece like chess, no dice, no spinners, no cards, so little was left to luck. It was like a 3600 square game board, with 480 pieces; soldiers, tanks, cannon's, ships, airplane, carriers, amphibians, ground to air to ground rocket missiles, trucks to carry supply cartons, without which nothing could move, helicopters, land and water mines, barbed wire, islands, cash, bonds, four nations with production of all needed equipment and training grounds, and the coveted oil wells.

Finance, fuel and energy played a large part in the game. Each game cost between $150-$250. We made it in four versions; a Roman War game, A Pirate Boarding War Game, a Napoleonic version and a modern version. A fellow who made a career out of those four versions for the next 40 years with a Multi-National Corporation stole the idea. I am happy I could provide he and his family a good living with that small portion of my mind in a board game. I still hold the useless copyrights and the game is still fun to play and a tax on your logistics and strategic thinking.

The game became a best seller and I began to intensely dislike and distrust Multi-National Corporations and most of their employees. A similar game idea without the sarcasm and satire had simultaneously occurred to others who meant it not as an insult to the avaristic, because they were the avaristic. Nixon, Reagan and Bush Senior, called them the crazies.

The decision to attack Iraq first came in 1984, apropos, no's? (Hey, that rhymes). It lacked only opportunity and someone evil enough, sadistic enough, and ethics challenged enough to carry it out.

Enter G W Bush. The idea was that if they won the 2000 election they would attempt to bait Saddam into a war, steal the oil, all of the Iraqi's profitable businesses and then go on to Iran, Syria, Venezuela, and later maybe even Russia and China and corner the world oil market.

However, to make the unheakthy plan work, the Constitution and Bill of Rights had to be scuttled, so that pesky dissidents like those which wrecked the Viet Nam fiasco, could be jailed, assassinated or put in prisons without trial and never heard from, or of, again.

Then along came a "terrorist" moment, a thing that comes long, maybe once in a lifetime, and the Neo-cons turned it into the greatest swindle since before Reaganomics. They Bull-Dozed a pussycat congress and a jelly back-boned public into a ploy worthy of Yellow Kid Wile. 9/11 happened because of the incompetence of the Bushites administration. Clinton warned him personally about Osama Bin Laden, Clarke warned him and so did others, but Bush had other things on his mind, like how could he goad Saddam into a war and get the oil. 9/11 didn't happen in Johnson's administration, or in Nixon's, or in Ford's, or Carters, or Bush I's, or either of Clinton's. Why not? Because whatever one has against any of them, they had their eyes on the ball and America was free of major attacks. Bush blew it plain and simple, or his Neo-cons planned the 9/11 attacks, without even asking his permission, or informing him. They probably were afraid he'd botch it up or spill it.

Bush fooled a lot of people who voted, and a lot of other people (Single working women, Blacks and a few others) failed to vote, had they he would not have won. And a few millions misguided, ill advised others voted for Nader, a wasted vote accomplishing only one thing, allowing the worst national leader since Adolph Hitler. Nice going Nader Backers. The Dems did not listen to many of us, about making a deal with Nader. Their arrogance didn't begin in the Gore/Bush debacle; it started in the Johnson Era. In the midst of the Reagan sweep in 1980, I was Campaign Chair for Democratic Municipal candidates fro mayor and trustees and we reversed the Republican City Council of 7 Republican's 1 Democratic, to 7 Democrats and 1 Republican and added a Democratic mayor, and the Republicans haven't won since in that city.

I warned Senatorial Candidates about the Military Industrial Medical Complex way back then. The only one who listened with interest was John Glenn, who invited me to visit him at his Chicago office, but he had no chance to win and my ideas died with him. JFK, my early patron was dead, Mayor Daley was gone, and my minor degree of influence with them both. I quit politics, frustrated and sad about JFK, still two decades later. An era ended, and I focused on making money. A few years later, after success in the market I sold my businesses and began to teach-a wealthy, tenured Professor with actual real world experience. That was a hateful image among left-wing faculty, at least until they had gotten to know me. Later my spiritual re-conversion occurred (for the third time since age six and the polio which laid me out for two years.)

Things had changed while I ignored politics. I sold my business interests, and later took an early retirement from teaching. I realized, as my Grand-pappy said I would, later in life, that justice is not something to be found on the Planet where God sends us to experience evil first-hand, because He knows no one can ever imagine, or appreciate it from mere stories. Then Bush came along and he did something the Democrats, who from time to time called me to re-interest me in politics, only to be rebuffed, could not do. Bush gave me a reason to become active again. This time however, not by running campaigns, but by writing.

Things certainly had changed, now even the Democrats have bought into a phony issue, of a mythical and non-existent World Terrorist Conspiracy. It was/is the Kings New Clothes, in which instead of politicians educating and leading the ant-brains of society, they, like parents buying-off spoiled offspring, make the semi-fictional World Terrorist Conspiracy, a reality, encouraging, hiring and promoting, stupidity and benefiting politically from it.

Well, they gave the whiners something to do. They bought Duct Tape and plastic sheeting and prayed to a Jesus they invented, who had nothing in common with the Jesus of history, or the Jeus of the Bible! And why not, the ones who got frightened, had already Kissed their pathetically mustard seed-sized brains good-bye. In the words of Bette Davis in All About Eve, fasten your seat belts folks it's going to be a bumpy ride.
