ECONOMY WILL CONTROL 2004


UNLESS A CRISIS TURNS THE TIDE


[It's brilliant when you think about it, rig a few elections not many but just enough to control the house and senate, then do what you want: no fear of impeachment, lie like a dog; who cares? You got the power, you do what you want: republicans will forgive you...most sheeple won't even notice...dems can make all the noise they want but have almost always been ineffectual anyway why should they start being effective now?]

There's no doubt that the economy will control the election in 2004. It has been too bad for too long not to have a tide-turning effect on the American voters, many of whom are also fuming over the lies told about the reasons the United States "needed" to invade Iraq. If removing dictators whenever and wherever we find them is just cause for pre-emptive strikes, then we're the very empire against which this nation was founded, acting arbitrarily and capriciously against whichever dictator dares to incur the wrath of the administration in power.

We will, by the pre-emptive strike philosophy, need to go against Iran, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, North Korea, Indonesia, and above all Saudi Arabia, the enemy of the United States but the business partner of many of its leaders and persons of power. Just why the US feels it can impose western thinking on eastern cultures and have those people grateful to us for demolishing their infrastructure, killing and maiming their citizens who have nothing to do with the leadership but respect their culture, is beyond many of us who have been anti-war.

Aside from the rising tide of indignation at the war and the lies told to promulgate it, Americans are very worried about the US economy. Those who have jobs today might not have them tomorrow. People who lost their jobs as long as two years ago are still looking for work. "We Want Jobs" will be a slogan and a threat to all who pretend to the new emperor's throne of America, New Imperialist Superpower.

The only way to divert the attention of Americans from the present unnecessary conflict and quagmire in the deserts of the Middle East is for a new crisis to occur. It may well happen prior to the election, it could have the effect of suspending the election. Perhaps that is why North Korea is in temporary suspended animation as far as our government's attention is concerned.

This isn't just a new type of warfare we're dealing with at the beginning of the 21st century, it's a new type of manipulating and controlling the American voters and Americans at large, whether too young to vote or too senile to care. The politics of election doesn't give a tinker's dime for the people; the object is to win at any cost and any cost is never too high a price to pay for imperialists.

When it comes to the likes of North Korea's Kim Jong Il, my protectiveness for my nation says we should tell that twerp to sit down and shut up or he and his nation are scorched earth ... 24 hour deadline. Yet the other side of me says it's wrong to kill, all war is wrong. Man should have gotten beyond war, that was what the failed League of Nations was about, it is what the UN was supposed to be about, and treachery is everywhere. Rulers no longer lead their forces into battle as did Genghis Khan or Alexander. They send the cannon fodder, the useless feeders, destroy innocents and infrastructure, then send huge MIC corporations to rebuild at the cost of billions of American taxpayer dollars. It's all about money and where love of money is greater than respect for human life, to that extent humanity and all of it is a failure and all rulers are butchers.

If rulers now had to lead their troops into battle, wars just might cease on the earth or at least be contained to a few rogue warlords in Central Asia, or tribal leaders in sub-Saharan Africa, which would be none of our business. Well, someone would make it their business. The African National Congress is Marxist and their ideology is the same as that of the new world order globalists: control the population by killing millions and controlling the remainder by oppression.

This world has not made much progress in six thousand or more years of recorded history.

A true leader would have a much greater vision for America and her role in world affairs, one set by example rather than bombs, by integrity and great care for America's people. If that leader indeed believed we are the world's remaining superpower, then he or she would also see that our mission is far above the petty wars we've engaged in since the first Korean Conflict in 1950. That leader would also downsize this government's huge bureaucracy while encouraging entrepreneurial ventures by removing so much government red tape. True entrepreneurs don't need a handout from the government, they need to be unshackled from bureaucracy.

Election 2004, absent the war issue or with the aid of a backlash against phony wars, will hinge on the economy of the United States, the creation of new jobs and the rebuilding of the ones that have fled the country to hire laborers for slave wages. Wal-Mart may be the largest of these corporate traitors but it is far from being the only one.

Someone asked me "what would happen if Hillary Clinton were elected president?" To which I replied, she might try to give away the store, and she might weaken our military but as the first female president, the last thing she would want is to play the New American Empress! That would set her women's movement back to 1755 (an arbitrary date). Her every move would be watched and her critics would come out of the woodwork like the bugs at night. Hillary could never get away with what George W. Bush and his reichsmeisters have done in the wake of Nine-Eleven

If more Americans understood the USA PATRIOT act, they wouldn't be so fond of Bush. He is not a conservative, he is a centrist who tries to gather votes by giving something to everyone, promising no human, animal or bug shall be left behind, and then tramples on human rights guaranteed by our founding fathers in the Declaration of Independence, Constitution and Bill of Rights like he was hiking across Texas in oversize boots.

The candidate for whom I would opt would promise to undo a huge number of Executive Orders and lead Congress to declare the USA PATRIOT act unconstitutional.

Then he or she would speak to the economy and the need to include the cost of food, medical care and energy when calculating increases for our largest elderly class, the Social Security recipients who are just barely over poverty level but haven't enough to pay their bills and buy food also. This is a growing class for the elitists to toss into the lion's den with the other useless feeders. A nation that treats its former workers, the builders of the nation, in this fashion and ignores the pleas of its wounded veterans can hardly hold itself forth as an advocate of human rights.

A man or woman who will not work is not worth the time of day. Those who cannot work by reason of illness, injury, age or infirmity should never be left to die in the streets. To these I would call the attention of the "churches" that spend $50 to $100 million on an upscale building while the poor lie outside their doorsteps. If the churches refuse to act, then the government becomes the agent of relief by default. We supposedly are not a nation that leaves our own to die in the streets. That's supposed to be what those "others" do, the ones for whom we have no respect.

If former presidents had not begun this welfare state nonsense, and loosed the giant devouring beast of easy credit and lifetime slavery to Mastercard and Visa, perhaps we'd have a much more self-sufficient people because they would have had to be responsible for themselves. Once personal responsibility is taken from an individual, they are simply easy prey for the elitists who promise them cradle to grave protection and deprive them of the incentives necessary to get them off their chairs and out into the working world.

But what of those who are all too eager to get back into the working world and cannot? Our industrialists who have moved their operations overseas to appease their stockholders surely don't give a thimble. They have $2 a day workers and Americans are foolish enough and financially strapped enough to support the Wal-Marts of the nation, and even those of us who try to buy American find that familiar American products like General Electric and RCA are made in a country we cannot even locate on the map.

Is this a campaign speech? No, I'm not running for anything unless there's a job open for the most annoying Washington press corps reporter ever to hit the nation's capital. I'll take that job any day if someone offers it, but I reserve the right to say what I think, not what others tell me. So I guess that job isn't open.

Regardless of whether folks will continue to be indebted to the credit cards for the rest of their lives, and the children will be indebted to the government to pay for long-past and present wars, people are going to vote for jobs in the great here and now. They might even demand that the person who is elected deliver on that promise. It is true that the president doesn't personally control the economy. He does have power to address Congress on the important issues, and the lobbyists come seeking support for their favorite causes. When enough pressure is put on Congress to attend to the economy and do what is necessary to revive American business and keep the ones who haven't left, we'll see some progress. We need a lot fewer laws and regulations for entrepreneurs as well as established businesses.

This nation's economy doesn't have to tank out and drain dry, but the water levels are dangerously low. The Dow is a poor indicator of who is and isn't working. It's a measurement of where the capital is flowing from large funds, brokerage houses with large accounts, trusts and foundations. Joe Lunchbox doesn't watch the Dow, he looks at his paystub or his unemployment check and wonders how long he can survive, whether his family will go hungry. And since the buck stops at the president's desk, it's the president who is supposed to rally round the flag and get everyone enthused about the economy, not lie about some foreign war program and send sympathy cards to the families of those who lost their lives in the interest of the military/industrial complex and its billionaire investment projects.

If this sounds cynical, it is because of past performance by our leadership. We have enough gadgets, domestic and foreign. The voters, content not to think until their livelihoods depend on it, have played long enough with the remote and the video games.

Political freedom, personal freedom, means the people have to THINK, which is becoming a lost art in America and has been since LBJ and his damned Great Society of socialists. I would like to see the government kicked out of nearly everything, particularly education, and teachers out of the NEA, so we make every state and county responsible for caring for its own. That is Americanism. It was the very core of Goldwater Republicanism of the 50's and 60's. The nation refused to elect Goldwater for fear of war and what did they get? Lyndon B. Johnson and the Vietnam war. Be careful, Americans, it is not enough to vote, we must demand performance or impeach the rascals who lie.

Fear not to impeach, fear rather not to impeach and become servants of the new American emperors.
