First
off, check out this site. It is a
real-time counter of how much our glorious nation is wasting in our latest War
Against Terrorist since 9/11.
1.
The cost of war in Iraq and Afghanistan since 2001 is over 1.36 trillion
dollars. That is over 124 billion per year and quickly growing.
2.
This represents 4.3 million dollars for each U.S. citizen. I think I could have
put my $4,300,000.00 to better use.
Are we warmongers?
Our
country has been constantly at war from before we became an independent nation.
See HERE .
We cannot live peacefully. If we are not fighting our own battles, we are
taking up arms to aid some other country. So, if we are not warmongers what are
we?
On
9/11, around 3,000 people died in the attacks. Since then we have sacrificed
ten times that many of our military members. We have caught and slain the two
main culprits and most of their followers responsible for this horrendous
event. Need we continue our slaughter of the innocent as well as the evil? Have
we not caused enough pain and suffering in this world to pay for what we lost
in 2001? Must we continue to empty our coffers for more and more fighting
machines? Why do we waste our resources on wars, when we have so many peaceful
projects that need expanding? Is this our contribution to ease world population
growth?
I
know there are many who believe war stimulates the economy. They are probably
the same ones who believe the War on Marijuana is protecting our citizens and
youths. If this is true, our economy should be stimulated to hell and gone.
Maybe it is. It is a certainty there are companies out there who have larger
budgets than our country. Our representatives see to it that there are, and
everyone involved ends up with stuffed pockets.
Objective of this war
Our
main objective was to locate, capture and make those responsible pay for what
they did. We have accomplished that. I believe we could have done this in less
than a year.
It
would have been a lot easier to send a small militia of special forces to
capture and eliminate these two terrorist, as we did with the last one, i.e.,
go in kill the sucker and take him out to sea and deep six his sorry a$$ as
required by his country's beliefs. The sorry mothers had no qualms in attacking
us or blowing themselves up in crowds of innocent people. Why should we worry
about our reputation? They invaded our country and slaughtered our innocent
people. This is the way it has been since before we climbed out of the trees,
and I think it will be the same when our end arrives.
We
have accomplished our original objective. Now, let us get the hell out and let
them lick their wounds and heal. This war on terrorism has brought our country
to its knees. We too need to lick our wounds. We need to regroup and assess
what we have become. That is, we are slowly becoming a police state because of
what happened over a decade ago. Of course, this is exactly what some want. We
need to sort out and get rid of these S.O.Bs before they lead our nation to
annihilation.
Or are we whoremongers?
Crime
is running rampant, not among us citizens, but among those who make the laws
and those who enforce the laws. They institute laws that make it easy to arrest
anyone suspected of being involved in terrorism. Of course, everyone arrested
is a terrorist suspect. They can imprison these quasi terrorists until hell
freezes over and no one can do anything about it, unless they enact more laws.
Those who are prostituting our country bit by bit know this and we know it, but
we do nothing about it. We sit back thinking someone will do something
eventually. However, 'eventually' never comes or arrives too late.
These
scum buckets, put into office by Corporate America, are selling our country and
its resources to these same big-money contenders. These super corporations are
well on their way to having worldwide control over everything from shoestrings
to spaceships that will someday spread their power to the far reaches of our
galaxy.
Government
leaders are merely high-paid sales representatives. Citizens are as cattle
grazing on the polluted fodder thrown to us by wealthy corporate directors.
Many already control 80 to 90% of our food crops, oil, and natural resources.
It is difficult to find organically grown fruit and vegetables not tainted by
GMO, genetically modified organisms. We eat beef, pork, chicken and fish so
genetically polluted that it affects our own bodies. We do it out of ignorance
because the big boys do not want us to know what we are eating. Fat corporate
owners fear it might put a dent in their twelve digit quarterly profit on the
sale on the garbage they feed us. We cannot get away from it.
Grow your own
It
is nearly impossible to grow a natural garden anymore. The big boys have so
polluted the world with their GMO plants that there are few, if any, naturally
evolved plants left. Farmers who strive to grow healthy produce fight a lost
cause. Corporate conglomerates wipe them out within a season or two. Small
farmers' fields, polluted by big farmers' poison crops, have little or no
chance of winning a case in court. Big money and big buddies make a good team.
It's another case of you can't fight city hall.
Not
only are we in danger of losing our natural plants, but some of the GMO animals
are escaping their growing pens, breeding with, and upsetting the life cycle of
their natural counterparts, thus threatening the life cycle and possibly the
demise of many other organisms. Given time, eventually, we will not need an
invisible god to destroy all life on this planet. The Man God will have taken
care of that.
What's the answer?
Don't ax me. As always, I believe we will eventually
rise up and kick butt. I only hope it's not too late. I wish I had gotten this
fired up as a young man. Thanks and have a pleasant day. Ray
