TV Commercials, Which Inspire The Young and Impressionable Condones Killing!

From a mix of false Christians, wishing evil unto others, to those who are allegedly being paid millions to air what they feel are war commercials exempt from criticism, to those who claim to be Christians and object to violence in Video games and movies, but are attempting to lure youngsters into killing for a living, to the failure of conscience of those who fund such enterprises and the cowards in public office on both sides of the aisle, to true prophets, to the lack of Critical Self-Analysis of Americans and due diligence in either party, the press, and the populace, one is stunned, now at nothing the fascists attempt.


TV Commercials, Which Inspire The Young and Impressionable Condones Killing And Insult The Intelligence of The American Public
"Thou Shalt Not Kill!" In the grand scheme of things, vain and overwhelming materialism is sinking our democracy. The shameful timidity of the congress, reflects that materialism in its most serious flaw, fear of death, is a force that is stifling new ideas, playing into the hands of the intellectually challenged Right, and the fundraising guru's of the scattered and clueless Left. That leaves a hole large enough in the center of the line of defense for a solid victory, which goes unexploited by American politicians. Well, as far as the Democrats are concerned, raising campaign money is the goal, and to blazes with the hole in the center, ethics, moral philosophy, justice, right and wrong, they probably can't even see either the hole or the reasons to exploit it. To the Bushites, however, although avarice is a strong factor, without which they feel little can be accomplished, power is the more important goal-because, as Cheney allegedly says, "...they don't tax power..." The Democrats have made the greatest mistake any political warrior can make, allowing their opponent to define the rules of engagement and the Republicans, despite their lack of majority, have the Democrats on the run. The Democrats have made another mistake and continue to make it-they do not explore new advisors, continuing to stick with those for which failure is the norm rather then the exception. And like the anthropological test, a comparison of intelligence between ape and chicken experiment, the Dems make the same fatal mistakes, over and over and over and over again, displaying for those few enlightened ones, that the Republicans come-off as the brighter apes and the Democrats (as unlikely as it seems) as the hopelessly, dense, chickens. The reason? They refuse to look for new talent, relying on a time worn and mistaken adage of sticking with those you know.



Now the Republicans, once a respected and patriotic political party, have allowed muckrakers, criminal billionaires, power-mongers, sadists, fools and mass-murderers, to draw into their web of profit and hatred. Not content with that, now they have seduced naïve' families and individuals just back from the present morass, either dead or seriously injured, to participate in the making of commercials endorsing the continuence of this disaster which the Democrats, foolishly continue to call a "war" just as they continue to call Saboteurs, "terrorists", playing right into the hands of the Republicans, allowing them to define the rules of engagement.

In WW II, we were the innocents and eventually the heroes against the uncontrolled desires of the fascist, Nazi, War Criminals, which the entire world not allied to them, saw as intrinsically evil and despicable. However, in the former politicians, running this nation, who are most decidedly, NOT patriotic Americans, are the fascists, villains, War Criminals, supported by a segment of the population which are an intellectually disadvantaged, naïve', uneducated, ignorant, un-or ill-informed, bigoted, greedy,
segment of the populace.
populace. Their opponents in America, are a diversity of confusion, without vision, ethics, or staunch morality also usurped by a thin veneer of the fainéant, lowest class of immoral, and questionable humanity; murderers of, unborn, babies-fetus exterminators and they have, almost, single-handedly, along with those who voted for George Nader, and the 60% of single, working females who voted for... no one, have been the cause of this "war," by allowing the Bushites to win, twice!

However, any comparison between this "war" and a real war like WW II is a blasphemy and a mistake by the Democrats because this one was invented for wealth, power and control, while WW II was forced upon us by a world in jeopardy placed there by Adolph Hitler, a megalomaniac, demoniac, sadistic mass-murdering, fascist, Nazi War Criminal, supported by an intellectually disadvantaged, naïve', uneducated, ignorant, un-or ill-informed, bigoted, greedy, segment of the populace.

What the Bushites call a "war," is nothing more than a cover story for a wild west, Texas Mob/Outfit/Mafia style robbing and mass murdering, oil, and trillions in cash, stealing criminals. Come to think of it, I have unintentionally insulted the "Outfit," "Mob," Mafia, by comparing these creatures with them, because during WW II Italian American Mobsters, supplied our government, with invaluable intelligence which facilitated a crucial landing in Italy, assuring our command that while the Italians, disloyal to the fascists, would offer only token resistance, and then lay down their arms to the Americans, the Nazi's stationed there would fight on to the end.

This mob, unlike the mafia, whose profits came from those who desired their illegal services, is forcing upon the world their evils and has no set of ideals or ethics, and the people have no choice; it is driven incorrigibly by avarice, power-lust, and sadism, just as were Hitler's mob. In memory, aside from Caligula, Nero, Stalin and Mao, the Bushites are the newest to attempt assassination, spying, torture, genocide and chemical warfare, against his own people.

Prophetic Truth
Many believe that the fascist inspired men in power, have stolen by contract awards of one-two trillion dollars, at least, for the enrichment of those which Eisenhower and Macarthur blamed for starting WW II, and we expanded, to the Military, Medical, MSM Industrial Complex.

In recent times, they have conspired to begin the depopulation of America, by forcing Americans to all take toxic drugs which will shorten their lives and cast them into horrid suffering to drain their physical and intellectual, resources. They will initiate this as they did this "war," by lies and manipulation and the Democrats will not stop them because they want to be a part of it because of the corporate money. The ploy will be that anyone who refuses to participate, is guilty of genocide because there are terrifying diseases which are virulent, highly contagious and could wipe out the population and anyone who refuses such medication is a "carrier," therefore a traitor and will either be hunted down and forced to take the slow-suicide drugs or injected with the disease and sent back home to show what occurs when one does not properly care for their health through inoculations. This has already begun in communities across America with the useless spraying to kill the Adult Mosquito population in most cities and those who refuse to go along are subjected to the spraying anyway and worse. The mosquito spraying for Adult Live Mosquitoes is a sham killing from 1% to 07% of unhatched mosquitoes, but is a serious threat to all adult and children for cancers, Parkinson's and Alzheimers and a cadre of other horrific diseases. They kill few mosquitoes, but millions of Americans, ... but very slowly.

In carrying on this fraudulent "war" they have depleted of the treasuries of two and possibly three nations, thereby robbing more than 400,000,000 people, so that a handful can live in kingly luxury. They have by sold gasoline which costs $00.02 cents a gallon (and $1.00-$1.50 a BARREL fully refined and delivered) at $4.50 gallon (in Florida, this summer) and that amounts to not the $80.00 a Barrel advertised in the stock wholesale price for sweet crude, price but $198.00 a barrel, a profit of 8500%.

The Loss of One's Soul
The Neo-con Masterless -minds has surmised that commercials made by those whose sacrifice is palpably visible, are invulnerable and therefore impossible to critique, without critics enduring harsh rebuttal and condemnation. Prayers for those disabled in this "war," never stop flowing from my prayer schedule, even those who I believe are either deluded or in error. However, their suffering does not mean they are sainted or above reproach or even correct in what they believe to be truth, without researching all of the options. Many Americans made enormous sacrifices over their lifetimes, some heroic in battle, other's heroic in other impassioned vocational and/or volunteer works, some merely doing all they can possibly do to help others, often heroically, often putting themselves in harm's way and doing so unarmed, Charles Lindbergh was such a person, but he was wrong, and proven to be so, unquestionably. Some gave greater sacrifices, but without having to break God's ban on killing.

Thou, Shalt, Not Kill! There is no equivocation here, it is simply stated. If one tries to use the "self-defense" argument, any who enlisted in the armed service is, by self-incrimination, banned before God to use the argument, because they enlisted without being well informed and the act of enlistment, means they signed sans due-diligence, on to the killing. Had they been drafted, the self-defense argument might be applicable. If one looks for a fight, or puts oneself in the "occasion of sin," one has given oneself tacit consent to kill whomever, for whatever reason. One has surrendered one's morality, body and soul to the whims of another, that in and of, itself is tantamount to loss of soul.

With empathy, I strongly feel their losses, those who have lost loved ones in battle and those who have been physically or mentally impaired, and I know what it is like to be disabled, I was a polio victim as a child, paralyzed and in severe pain for the better part of two years. I never, during that time cried, and I never took out any anger against anyone, nor God, nor was I jealous or envious of those who could walk and run and play. I used the time to learn and read, to draw and daydream. So, I know about suffering, and about loss having lost most of my family and friends over the years. Moreover, the doctors told me years later that I might, as I get older, meet with skeletal-musculature degeneration, and I have, so the suffering has returned.

Having said that, while few question the sincerity/motivation on the part of some of the families of those dead, or the words of those wounded, neither death nor injury, bespeaks a correct analysis of what has happened, nor knowledge of all of the information available, the billions wasted, the poor armor and protection of our troops and the motivation which put them in extreme harm's way for billions of profit for oil companies and contractors, used against innocent American citizens and others, who have been spied upon, arrested, spirited away, and perhaps killed in "accidents," because they have done thorough research and are writing the non-fiction versions of the "war" in Iraq. Our troops, the vast majority of which are brave, selfless heroes, in a "war," they would not have chosen had the choice been theirs, have been terribly ill used and ill-served. They have also been lied to and betrayed by men and women who have committed high treason creating this war and using American troops to do mercenary business to steal oil fields from the Iraqi's, and there is only one reason those men and women are not in prison for the rest of their lives and that is the cowardice of their political opponents, or shall we call them accomplices?

Let us keep in mind that those who have been severely wounded, disabled or otherwise impaired, or lost the lives of their loved ones, perhaps subconsciously, in order to keep their equilibrium-perhaps even from plunging more deeply into grief, must somehow justify to themselves and others that their loss was not in vain, that they did not vainly follow a megalomaniac and give their sons or daughters, or their own good health up for the avarice of others with already too much money. What is worse, than the financial gain of profiteers/privateers who used the American Military to acquire and maintain their stolen profits? Therefore, most naturally for some of those so afflicted, supporting the continuation of the killing, gives them a comfort, which is, for them therapeutic. For others, probably most others, who have suffered the same or a similar loss, despite their own suffering, might look beyond their own needs to those of others, those still suffering and more heroically, try to end the suffering and the maiming and killing because continuing to support such an unjust cause would dissemble their consciences. For them, application of Jesus' words of the Golden Rule, Do Thou unto others, as you would have others do onto you or yours The true Christian does not wish an evil that has hurt them unto others.

This "war" and the new commercials highlight the 53,000 American casualties, against a backdrop of tens of millions of other Americans who suffer because of this "war."

When I say that the commercials of which we speak, highlights about 53,000 dead and wounded veterans of this "war" against a backdrop of tens of millions of American children, what exactly do I mean? I mean the money thrown away on this war could have been otherwise invested in America and Americans-replenished the nation's population of the under-privileged and the less affluent. I mean that one can more easily sin by omission because few have the gift of abstraction to compute the evil existing in that omission. However, simplified, the cash allegedly stolen for/by, contractors and others, and needlessly used for the purposes of bringing death and unthinkable suffering, does so in more ways than overtly attacking and making war. The money so engaged, and therefore omitted from other uses, could have instead, been used for the enhancement of life and thereby benefitted tens of millions of people here and elsewhere. Such use and distribution would have been the act of men of God, not mass annihilation of a people for their goods, much coveted by the industrialists of the attacking nation('s). They have stolen money which could have been used for the health care, housing and food, and more, of tens of millions of Americans, but was not because some misguided people want to help a few billionaires steal even more billions over the bodies of malnourished, starving, American Children. And the democratic candidates who are too timid to say so, will not get my vote in 2008.

EWE ARE ALL ASLEEP! ENJOY YOUR EMPIRE!
Joe RathbunEWE ARE ALL ASLEEP! ENJOY YOUR EMPIRE!

My Mentor

I as my wife, am utterly speachless!!! That has to be your "flagship" work! You have summed up the essence of the realities(perceived or not) which we experience in our "worlds" today. We have the "mosquito sprayers" mounted on the backs of Ford Rangers up and down our street every week! My electric is rediculous because I never open any doors or windows, even when it's beautiful out. This "prozac nation" they have created for us, through our own thoughts and depressions, is disturbing to say the least. If God is behind them, we could have walked around Iraq 7 times, blown our trumpets and watched the "walls come tumblin' down" without a single loss of life!!!! Thank You and God IS on your side and IN your heart!!! YOU ARE MY MENTOR (I'm 32 and my Grandfather was the only one I've had) so you know the "thoghts of the dead" because he speaks through you to me!!!  PREACH ON PROF.!      LET THE EMPIRE BE REVEALED!!!!!
