No, it is a war on people. Why else would the Putsch regime give itself so many powers to dominate and subjugate the people of America? And why else does Britain go lock step with America passing legislation to lock up people without charge for 90 days? They didn’t get 90 days, only 28, but they haven’t given up on that one. We have our on Guantanamo in Britain, its call Belmarsh. And of all the Muslims who have been swept up in ‘terrorist’ round-ups, only two have been charged with terrorist offences, several have been charged with other offences like fraud with the social security, but the vast majority have had to be let go without charge. I wont go into the ridiculous ‘liquid’ bomber scare, except to say that experts in explosives have said that it is nigh on impossible to do what the scare is about; explosive toothpaste anyone? And some of these ‘liquid bombers’ did not even have passports, so could not travel, and not one of them had even booked a trip on a plane.

They keep the population of Britain docile and befuddled (just like Americans), with programs on TV like Big Brother, and they show all the American rubbish like American Idol too if you have satellite, as most do.

George Galloway of the Respect Party represents the political left and he is hated by the New Labourites, because he doesn’t toe the official line. You may have heard of him; a Congressional Committee accused him of profiting from his charity and selling oil Saddam gave him. I don’t think the Committee members knew what hit them when he came roaring into Washington to defend his good name and tore a big yellow strip off of them. I admire his stance and integrity but his respect Party is, sadly, not going anywhere under the present circumstances. We too, have a dog and pony show in Parliament; only we call it the Punch and Judy show.

I want to qualify where I am coming from; I have never studied Karl Marx or the Communist Manifesto, but I have read widely, perhaps not as much as some, but my newfound (35 years) old rebellion has its roots in my stint in the Royal Navy. Although not engaged in covert CIA type operations it was pointed out ad- nauseum, that the Soviet Union were, under Stalin, feeding obvious propaganda to their peoples. Newspapers, magazines, radio, TV (rudimentary in the 60’s) were all ‘on message’ including the radio programmes in English and other languages beamed with powerful transmitters towards the west, all spouting the same cosy picture. Remind you of any contemporary country? What began to dawn on me was that, it was exactly the same in the west, if only a little more sophisticated. But now with the Putsch regime all sophistication has flown out of the window. Blatant propaganda is all you can find the in MSM in every country in the western hemisphere, barring the stirrings of real democracy in South America with Chavez leading the charge against the US World Bank and The International Monetary Fund. All these institutions are designed to impoverish the peoples of the countries they lend money to, and impose draconian conditions on their loans. Years ago when I was younger the IMF was ‘called in’ to Britain and I well remember the feeling of that time, we were told to shut up and take the medicine to make the country fiscally sound again, or we would all go to hell.

Coming from another tack, I want to draw your attention to scientists. The Manhattan Project and the like. All the leading scientists of that Project have, to my recollection, said that they had unleashed ‘hell on earth’ with their discoveries and wished that they had never done it. Never mind the propaganda that Hitler was also doing it and the Americans beat him to the punch. If he had gotten it do you think he would not have used it? Yet the Americans used it on Japan, so who are the criminals? And there is ample indication that America is prepared to use it again on Iran.

By the way, the scientists didn’t use it; the politicians and the military were the criminals. Another scientist has ‘discovered’ that the radioactive ‘tailings’ called Depleted Uranium can be used to mould into useful armour penetrating shells and bombs. It’s the military and the politicians who use them, little caring about the long term consequences, cancer, leukaemia, deformed babies, etc.

So does this limited picture give you a hint of where I am going? The rich do not care a jot about the people, they willingly promote killing by the millions for the sake of the bottom line – profits. Or is this too simple?

Maybe they know that the earth cannot sustain so many people and any attempt to regulate the birth rate will fail. Even in China with their ‘one child’ policy has not been a roaring success. So their answer can only be to kill as many as possible, and to prevent healthy births in any way they can. All the more for them in the gated communities, corporate boardrooms and penthouses. Or is that too horrific and simple too?

Perhaps mankind has to come to the realization that all is lost in the only planet we have, before any significant amount of people will wake up to the reality of, not only what we have done to our environment and are still doing, but also what we are about to do irreparably with a nuclear war.
