Turn a [ditto] head

On Hitler's birthday, April 20th, Mike Malloy on Air America (www.airamericaradio.com) took calls from right-wing Bush-administration supporters only.

After a number of calls from guys who were cynical and misinformed, and from a couple of others who were obviously half-wits, and from still others who have simply been driven to frustrated dread over the past few years, finally one caller said it. He didn't sugar-coat the REAL reason a large number of people are backing the current power-structure in Washington and its policies.

He said he thought that America should grab the oil and get a military foothold in the middle east. I give him points for not denying it.



The "empire" strategy is the most anti-human, anti-planet-earth, armageddonist end-times idea imaginable. It nonetheless festers in the back of the mind of many who haven't rationally thought it out. At least this one radio-show caller was honest enough to admit this secret aspiration, which is held by many who just don't know better.

The idea: (Grab the Oil and secure a military jump-off point), is the dirty secret of a closet-nazi mentality. It resides in the minds of small men with weak character. It is insanity (something tried over and over with the same unsuccessful outcome). This is why:

Explore the logic. Do you really want to go the way Germany went in the 1940's, crippled, humiliated, starved, burned, flattened after over a decade of rule by a maniac bent on genocide and conquest? Do you really want to go to war with India, France, China and Russia?

Do you understand that a crucial portion of our industry (i.e. wartime manufacturing capability) has been outsourced/exported to China?

DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT ALL OF THESE COUNTRIES HAVE NUCLEAR WEAPONS?

DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT NUCLEAR WAR WOULD DO TO ALL OF US?

The corporate puppets currently occupying Washington D.C. have initiated an un-justified, illegal, pre-emptive attack on a sovereign country, ignoring the warnings of our own top military advisors and intelligence analysts, so ill-equipped and under-prepared that we have to date lost ONE THOUSAND, FOUR HUNDRED NINETY TWO (1,492) of our American sons and daughters there so far, and ELEVEN THOUSAND, EIGHT HUNDRED EIGHTY EIGHT (11,888) WOUNDED, many currently without support from the administration who sent them there. The people who live in that place are naturally desperately resisting this colonial invasion and occupation. The only people who are benefiting from this adventure are corporations dealing in military hardware and the energy industry, while we send the bodies and pay the highest gas-prices ever at the pump.

If you honestly believe that a continued policy of pre-emptive war and aggression will not find heated resistance from the rest of the world, you need to learn some things.

I suggest that you consider where Napoleon went wrong.

I suggest that you consider where Hitler went wrong.

I suggest that you consider that the Roman Civilization began to collapse when it transitioned from a republic (representative democracy) into an empire; and was ultimately a limping, crumbling wreck when it finally devolved into religious-fundamentalist rule (marking the beginning of the Dark Ages).

I suggest that you consider, that in the heart of the average American, the person who listens to music, who has a little road-dirt on the car, and who has to juggle the bills each month, who just wants to make a living; there is already a profound sense that someone is really giving us all a bad deal. There is already a profound sense, in many, of powerlessness in a situation that is beginning to spin out of control.

I suggest that you consider that a growing number of average Americans who don the uniform of our Armed Forces (often for lack of anything that pays as well in civilian life) are learning that they have been duped into committing war-crimes merely to satisfy the plundering design of a tiny, corporate ruling-class.

That is, those over there who are still alive and intact. Today.

Do the words "Common Defense", "General Welfare", and "Blessings of Liberty" sound familiar? How far and how fast are we moving away from those things? (They are cited in the Preamble of the Constitution).

I suggest that you print that document (available at www.AmericanWisdom.org), along with the Bill of Rights, and post those things where others can see them.

I suggest that you talk to someone: someone who is working hard but has been misled into supporting the people who have seized power in Washington.

There is a way out of this mess. We don't have to march blindly up the chute into the slaughterhouse... Into the Ovens. We don't have to see our country descend into domestic chaos and violence and misery.

We can communicate. Bypass the propaganda machinery. Start to wear clothing that shows where you stand. Put signs on your property, on your vehicles. Talk to people. Write to the newspapers and your legislators (tell the democrats to "grow a pair"). Call radio stations on both ends of the political spectrum. Create and distribute flyers.

Do it NOW.

And turn off the TV. THEY ARE LYING TO YOU.
