The Cost Of War

Americans Growing Bitter

It is no wonder Americans everywhere are starting to get sick and tired of how the country is being run and all the political rhetoric that gets us no where.  For years political pundits and agents of corporations told us that we need less government and more corporate enterprise.  Well there is no small wonder if you follow the money to see why we are in the horrific shape we find ourselves today.  Every day we take money out of education and human services and its all going toward a perpetual war that the American people never signed on.  Before voodoo Reaganomics we had considerably the highest education system of the world but now we can not even afford to keep good teachers in our schools.

I remember when I lived in Virginia in the 80s, then Governor Wilder had an educations system that ranked in the top 10 -15 in the states.  The state had a lot of good programs to help people get an education and get back to work.  When George Allen and the religious right republicans came to power, they declared a war on drugs and educational programs and cut education budget by over 50% over the next few years.  They built lots of new prisons and locked a lot of people up who where non-violent.  Up until John Warner got elected and broke the radical right 12 year reign in that state their education system sunk down to the bottom 10 states and racked up a huge state debt.  They say that crime does not pay well it does not seem that war pays well either.  I am all for safe neighborhoods but if you have to cut education drastically you are spending money on the on wistful practices.  Because no matter how closely you police an area if you have no educational programs available your idle people are going to turn to drugs no matter how many cops and prisons you budget.  If you declare war on drugs you will get one as well.

But America's wars overseas are starting to get people in an uproar.  There is a growing sentiment world wide and within our own country.  That sentiment is that 9/11 was an inside job by our government at the very top of the Bush Administration and Wall Street.  If you follow the money once more you can see who benefited from the deaths of thousands of Americans.  There is enough doubt today of the propaganda that 9/11 was done alone by Muslim terrorists that it is the continued government cover-up is just laughable.     The facts remain of 9/11 that the government can not cover up because these facts slipped out during the media coverage of the fateful day.  They can be found outlined in the books by David Ray Griffen books, Debunking 9/11 Debunking, 9/11 Commission Report: Omissions and Distortions, and 9/11 and the American Empire: Intellectuals Speak Out

1. Dick Chaney was placed in full command of our armed forces and ordered NORAD to stand down for 9/11.   The FCC reported the hijackings in time to scramble fighters to even the scene of the first crash but the military did nothing or was confused.  There is a news report that someone in the military was told by Dick Chaney that the stand down order was still in effect even though a flying object was 10 minutes from the Pentagon.

2. That flying object was not a 757, it was a cruise missile that hit the Pentagon according to video and security personnel.

3.  The video from several security cameras was confiscated by the FBI and never investigated by the 9/11 Commission.

4. Two security guards who seen the footage told the news media that the video showed a cruise missile hit the Pentegon.  One security guard died of un-natural causes and the other security guard was pressured to change his story.

5.  At least one of the 757 jets that hit the world trade center towers had an external tank fitted to its belly.  How did terrorists have time to land the plane and fit a large external tank?

6.  The collapse of the World Trade centers was not caused by jet fuel but by a controlled demolition of all three buildings.  The owner/beneficiary of the insurance policy of the world trade center ordered demolitions teams to pull the building.  His buildings were insured from terrorist attack for six billion dollars.

7. The collapse of building seven of the world trade center was announced on the BBC 20 minutes before it actually happened with the building standing in the background.


This is why nobody believes the government and corporate propaganda anymore. Do not believe anytime the American government says another government has weapons of mass destruction. We do believe that corporate America is running the government.  We do believe corporation profit more and pay Americans and World workers less while they enjoy protection of our own constitution.  Until Americans get fed up and take it back - we can only look forward to endless wars and a bankrupt and divided America.

I went to a Chevron gas station to purchase a  drink and the attendant asked me if I wanted to donate to the children fund.  I asked her that in this economy her rich corporation should be the one donating to charity.   I already gave all I have.  As a matter of fact why does Chevron not donate more to help those poor people in the Ecuadorian Amazon River basin that their subsidiary Texaco Oil polluted into near extinction?  Chevron has got a lot of nerve to ask citizens for donations.  I just want them to know that I know about their oil polluted river.  Do not ask me for donations.  Stop buying government favors and spend your money to clean up your act, Chevron.  You and BP make wonderful web sites that are devoid of the pollution your spills and carelessness cause - selling us a fake propaganda message that you care.  We are not buying your lies anymore.

There is a great article on building resentment in America in Time Magazine: Locked And Loaded.  Americans are getting armed and getting ready.  The redcoats are coming or are the redcoats already here?  This article tells about the sheer numbers of paramilitary groups.  I had a friend in 1994 who was locked up in Virginia for the same thing that these guys are doing in 2010.  The right to bear arms and speak out against the government.  He spent 5 years in the Fed for his troubles and these guys have far larger standing armies in Ohio and all over the country.  Even local sheriffs are threatening the ATF agents to keep out of their counties or they will arrest them.  In some areas local sheriffs are refusing to evict victims of the housing crisis. Americans all over are getting fed up at our government.
