This rant is true, accurate, and
poignant. It
hits the
proverbial nail on the head. There are of course other additional
concerns and mitigating or amplifying concerns which have already
happened in our Nation's past and earlier, which are
best left for other posts. One of the major problems
has been one of corporate person-hood, as covered in the post, 'Hook
Line and Sinker: The Plans Are Revealed Part 2" and
another is the stranglehold Corporations have on a corrupt Congress
and the all too accommodating U.S.Government.
"Here's
Your Black Budget, produced by SaveTheChildrenUK.
As
their slogan says, "Just because it isn't happening
here - doesn't mean it isn't happening somewhere." Because it
definitely IS.
Moreover,
US Tax Dollars are currently subsidizing dozens of military
engagements, without the consent or the knowledge of the American
people, as I write this.
Nobody
asked us if we want to meddle in the business of the poor Ukrainians
– but – we've got US agents there, doing "our" business
for "us" –
and the US has publicly
acknowledged, that they have dedicated a relatively "measly"
US$5 billion budget to underwrite our agenda in the current Ukraine
fracas.
On
the scale of US war spending, this is an infinitesimally
small sum: take the the total cost of Operation Enduring Freedom,
aka the so-called "Afghan War", which from its inception
in October 2001 to the fiscal year 2011 cost the US around $468
billion, with the estimated for the cost for the deployment of a
single US soldier in Afghanistan equaling more than US$1 million per
year.
But
all of the above this truly pales, in comparison to the US$ 6
trillion spent between 2003 and 2012 on the so-called "War in
Iraq."
Now,
that's what I call "money well spent!"
THAT's
an operation that Americans can feel really
GREAT about, as it was totally "justified",
"legal" and it was such a *smashing* success for FREEDOM!
We really ought to be proud of this "thing" that was never
even declared a war, at all.
Whatever
these two interventionist, undeclared
conflagrations should actually be
called (I'll go with "war crimes"), which are also
incidentally the longest "wars" in US History - they have
left some 639,000 US Veterans - almost an entire generation of
young Americans – PERMANENTLY DISABLED.
This
is to say nothing of the hundreds of thousands (millions?) of
innocent civilians in South Asia, who had their countries razed to
the ground and whose remaining survivors, today are living in much,
much worse conditions than they were before "we" invaded;
before whoever hijacked the USA, with the power to summon the US
Military and to systematically bankrupt this nation with their
bloated budgets - and to essentially annihilate a couple of other
countries, in the process - while also jeopardizing the entire Global
Financial situation...
How
do you like them apples, America?
Whatever
happened to my grandmother's sainted Apple Pie?
Whatever
happened to the US being the "Good Guys?"
Wait!
I almost forgot! An article in the Washington Post, based on
information given by Edward Snowden detailed how the US allocated
$52.8 billion in 2012 for the Black Budget.
So,
that SECRET OF SECRETS is no longer.
But
this paltry Black Budget doesn't touch the publicly-acknowledged,
approximate US$680 billion yearly budget allocated to the multiple
branches of the US Department of Defense, while our schools and roads
crumble. I'll leave the mystery of Obamacare fiasco out of this - as
this has already become a very long newsletter/rant!
Quite
simply, our monies have been outrageously squandered - and behind our
backs. Our very souls have been "...sold down de Ribber,"
to quote the great American 19th century Author, Mark Twain.
Instead
living in a Utopian world, which as a child, I completely assumed would
be a given by the time I was a adult, with all the technological developments, which would free everyone to be an artist or
philosopher - and that all children in the future would receive a
powerful, valuable education, such that they'd have the capacity and
true knowledge of deep history, geopolitics, all the sciences and
technologies - to truly enable everyone to be of service and live up
to the "promise of America".
But
no - the US Government's priorities have, instead been geared toward
the creation of a super-redundant Police State; domestic military
divisions which are quite obviously set up to wage war on our own
people - and the highest incarceration rate of any other country in
the world.
We
saw glimpses of this last year in Watertown, MA; where a phalanx of
body-armored cops driving urban assault vehicles, busted down the
doors of everyone in that neighborhood, without warrants of any kind,
with the excuse that they were looking for a 19 year old kid.
This
was clearly a test, to see what they could get away with; the
soft-launch of 21st Century Fascism, American-style!
The
hijacked US Government has prioritized the desecration of our Legal
Canons: the US Constitution and Bill of Rights, in favor of
SmartBombs, SmartPhones ("All the better to track you with, My
Pretty!") - and with the crappy educational system, has
encouraged the creation of a large population, dumb vapid people.
All
of the above is an excellent formula for America's assured failure in
an emerging world, that has VERY different priorities from those of
the Cold War; an entity, which seems to be desperately seeking to
rear its ugly head, since the demons behind the efforts to launch
World War Three are continuously failing.
May
their WW3 efforts continue to fail - forever!
Especially
since there are clearly enough nuclear "accidents" already
in the works and some 150+ nuke plants in the US today, which are
virtual replicas of that of Fukushima Daiichi - and similarly creaky
with age.
If
some kind of unforeseeable Gamma Ray Burst or a large meteor impact -
or even a medium-sized EMP blast were to occur - then, we'd be
dealing with literally 100s of Fukushimas, at the same time.
Meanwhile,
TONS of aerosolized depleted uranium nano-dust blows around, from US
wars of aggression in the Middle East, which have for a decade been
getting swept by the winds to every corner of the Northern
Hemisphere, where it appears that a slow program of genocide/ecoside
is puttering along - and like the tortoise, it will unrelentingly
arrive at the finish line.
So,
as Tax Time approaches, please think about how the sweat of your brow
is being used and see if you can schedule-in 10 minutes here and
there, to let your alleged government representatives know how you
feel about the way our Tax Dollars are being allocated.
Please
think about how the Sweat of Your Brow is Being Used and let your
alleged Government Representatives know How You Feel about the way
our ill-gotten Tax Dollars are Being Allocated."

CORPORATE
FASCISM: The Destruction of America's Middle Class
"A
new kind of fascism has taken over America: the merger of
corporations and government whereby
corporate power dominates. With the emergence of ever-larger
multinational corporations – due to
consolidation facilitated by the Federal Reserve's endless
FIAT money -- the corporatocracy has
been in a position to literally purchase the U.S. Congress.

Candidate; PAT BUCHANAN, Author and
Political Analyst; G. EDWARD GRIFFIN, Author and Producer;
EDWIN VIEIRA, Author and Constitutional Attorney and TED BAEHR,
Founder of MovieGuide and
Christian Film & TV Commission.
A
result of the corporate purchase of Congress is that many of the
nation's "laws" have been re-configured to benefit
WE THE CORPORATIONS, rather than WE THE PEOPLE. "Laws" like
NAFTA and GATT resulted in the outsourcing of the U.S. manufacturing
base and the destruction of the Middle Class. This is nothing less
than the 1 Percenters abusing the 99 Percenters. Known as "monopoly
capitalism," "crony capitalism," "mercantilism,"
"globalization," "the new world order," and/or
"free trade" – this is NOT your Grandfather's
capitalism." From Youtube
