Today in the ‘Divided States of America’ where there is no rule of law, no constitution and what appears to be a country now run by the United Nations, we wage war with no permission or debate from the people or Congress and without ever being attacked by those we wage destruction upon. We now in the USA live under a rotating dictatorship.
With headlines from state run media such as the Huffington Post (3/16/11) that read “Israel Has the Right to Attack Iran’s Nuclear Reactors Now” brings me to the conclusion that these people are on the verge of insanity!
Civilian death counts estimated in hundreds of thousands and some estimates over a million in Afghanistan and Iraq alone, constant drone strafing in Pakistan killing hundreds there. Does anyone but me see the hypocrisy in all this humanitarian, freedom and democracy BS yet? Civilian deaths have risen from fifty% in WWII to 70% in Vietnam to now 90% and even 100% in the siege of Gaza in 2008.
Are there such short memories that some don’t remember the lies that brought us to the quagmire we are already in that is bankrupting our nation morally and financially? For those that don’t remember the lies click here and visit a page I put together years back, I haven’t updated it in some time but it will joggle the memory no doubt.
Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and now Libya, as David Swanson in his excellent report titled (War Is Illegal) wrote-
It’s a simple point, but an important one, and one that gets overlooked. Whether or not you think a particular war is moral and good, the fact remains that war is illegal. Actual defense by a country when attacked is legal, but that only occurs once another country has actually attacked, and it must not be used as a loophole to excuse wider war that is not employed in actual defense.
So now we have yet begun another quagmire on the 8th anniversary of the Iraq invasion, a war on Libya said to stop Gaddafi from using planes and tanks to attack his own people, does anyone really believe this? What would happen here in America if a group of rebels banded together and tried to oust the regime in place today? What about Waco, have we already forgotten the military tanks and aircraft used on the Branch Davidian?
Russian intelligence said “Some of the reports made by western media are not entirely corresponding to the pictures they are getting” and, strafing citizens did not happen, this is a hoax to begin military intervention.
US Defense Secretary Robert Gates said:
“The UN Security Council resolution provides no authorization for the use of armed force; there is no unanimity within NATO for the use of armed force … and we also have to think about, frankly, the use of the US military in another country in the Middle East.”
The first 24 hours we have already fired 114 Tomahawk missiles on Libya at a cost well over five hundred thousand dollars apiece, while we have a supposed ally Japan devastated with three nuclear and plutonium cores melting down that has a possibility of compromising life as we know it on this planet if they China syndrome and hit the water table, and nobody is doing anything to help.
One would think in a sane world every powerful nation would join forces together and get this situation under control (like in the movies) but instead it’s more important to go bomb Libya.
Gaddafi Called western leaders “new Nazis” and said “You can withdraw, you can be beaten and go back to your countries but we cannot retreat, this is our land, and we can only be victorious or die here. You didn’t learn from your mistakes in Iraq. We will be victorious and you, the party of Satan, will be crushed.”
“It’s no longer an internal matter it became a confrontation between the Libyan people and the new Nazis.”
And all this and not hardly a peep from the American people, sure there were a few protest in Washington, California, Chicago and even Pentagon Papers whistleblower Daniel Ellsworth was arrested but it didn’t even amount to a couple thousand.
I hope my fellow Americans understand we are waging war on a fourth country now with no congressional declaration and under the guise of the United Nations. It is now official America has been infiltrated, captured, defeated without a shot fired and is now run by the United Nations and enforced by NATO.
It will be written in the history books that America was defeated by apathy, none of these so called self-styled wars are Americas they are the wars of the ones who have conquered us.
Hello Tom, yes you are correct you have described the function of any country that is dictatorial and communist. In communist countries it is the people by the government and the communist government controls the resources, production and distribution of the country’s wealth, land etc. Also when governed by communism there is no acceptance of differences of opinions, this as history shows creates a society stagnating under brutal police state controls.
In a capitalist country such as the United States the resources and production are supposed to remain with the private sector and acceptance of differences of opinion create debate and change for the better. Also what made the US great is limited government and limited by a republic form of government controlled by law and that law that is supposed to control the power and size of this government is written in the United States Constitution and Bill of Rights. These documents are what define the U.S. and are what make these invasions and occupations illegal. By the people neither understanding nor even reading the definition of their own country has created a situation of the greatest nation on earth being dissolved before our very eyes by an enemy within.
You mentioned Sun Tsu, I have studied “The Art of War” here is one of my favorite quotes-
“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”
- Sun Tzu
OK, War may be illegal, but the first and foremost function of your (any country) is to ensure the standard of living and way of living for your citizens. The rest of the people (who are not citizens of your country) be damned. As a race we have not evolved to either a point where we can accept one government nor can we even accept differences of opinions nor an equitable share of our limited resources without the threat of war. It is simply politics (the word we use to define the agreement a group of people use to define how they will interact within their society) taken to its most extreme. Accept this, work to find ways around going to war ( I suggest Sun Tsu), then you will begin to make the difference you are pining for.
