... absolute power corrupts absolutely. — Lord
Acton
All a man can betray is his conscience. — Joseph
Conrad
"We do
it because we can," the military man said smugly. And by such
philosophy, the corporate American war machine tries to take
the world to its grave.
The
former general and recent Secretary of State Colin Powell's
words still ring in my ears: "We don't count the Iraqi dead,"
he said. Perhaps it was because he knew he couldn't count that
high.
For a
month I've looked around for something positive to say,
something encouraging, uplifting, productive ... and failing
that, perhaps something consoling, some obvious explanation of
the twisted perversion that has wrapped its petrochemical
tentacles around the throat of humanity and keeps
squeezing.
Across
the gray landscape of languid lies and malevolent
misconceptions, I see nothing to cling to. No ray of hope.
Only lies, self-serving twists of what used to be called
logic. Freedom is no longer safe, they tell us. You must have
a number. And while you're at it, take this toxic vaccine, and
no, you won't be able to sue the manufacturer if you get sick.
Just do it, as the slogan commands us.
The
right to a fair trial is no longer guaranteed. You can be put
in jail or executed for reasons that can be kept secret. And
still, on the crumbling streets of America, most people go
about their business as if nothing has
happened.
Sensible people, who in the deepening darkness of their
own secret hearts must realize something has definitely
happened, that something definitely will happen. Sensible
people, suddenly afraid to speak what they really believe for
fear their neighbors will overhear and tell someone with a gun
and a uniform, or worse, an employer with an important
contract who wants no employees who don't agree with the way
things are. And then, they think, paralyzed by fear, who will
feed the kids? Scared silence follows.
Who
would have thought that democracy would come to mean tyranny?
OK, Orwell. And many other now unpopular voices, never heard
in our manacled media.
Who
would have thought, when all was said and done, that America
would turn out to be the chief threat to the survival of all
life on this planet? But as the announcer always reminds us,
this is why we play the game. You never know how it will turn
out.
How it
has turned out is like this.
No one
dares to speak the truth in America, because if they do, they
will be removed from the corrupt system of profit-making that
enables them to remain smug and secure (they think) in their
never-paid-off homes. Just think of all those well-paid
journalists and broadcasters who pretend to be such
authorities on what's going on in the world.
Not one
of them dares to mention, as they wax opportunistically
compassionate over the quarter million dead from the
suspicious tsunami in the Indian Ocean, that a nearly equal
number of equally innocent corpses has been generated by their
own hypocrisy in the gutters of various Fallujahs in countries
they can barely remember the names of. Nobody’s even talking
about the continuing genocide in central
Africa.
Not one
of them dares to mention that two brothers counted more than
80 percent of the votes in the recent American election (and
both of them were publicly enthusiastic about re-electing the
tyrant in office), that there were discrepancies in the
counting of those votes ONLY in places where there was
unverifiable computerized voting, and that poor people
everywhere were physically and mentally discouraged from going
to the polls. Or that even the candidate who lost didn’t
really object to losing.
Not one
of them dares to mention that America, their country, is
deliberately killing its own soldiers by (1) putting them into
a poorly organized military deployment where they will likely
be killed by the very people they are trying to rape, kill,
and intimidate into accepting the corporate totalitarianism
that the killers don't even realize they are supporting, and
(2) by polluting their bodies with dangerous ammunition that
will kill them with cancer a few short years down the road.
Almost no one realizes 10,000 Americans have died as a result
of the first Gulf War. A few of the pundits (are you
listening, Mike Ruppert?) mention that population reduction is
a good idea, however, giving us all just a glimpse of the
blood in the teeth of their smiles.
And not
one of them dares to mention the contrived horror of 9/11, and
the self-serving lies that followed, the total coverup that
was called an investigation, and the vigilante hysteria that
followed, unleashing a mindless bloodlust to kill who they
told us to kill, who just happened to be people they wanted to
steal from.
We see
from American behavior in Iraq — the endless and deliberate
killings of innocent bystanders, the indiscriminate bombing of
a population we insist we are rescuing, and the corrupt
prevention of independent reporting on the terrible crimes we
are committing — that the United States is a nation of
conscienceless killers, who have absolutely no regard for the
welfare and safety of wholly innocent people who happen to
reside outside their borders. Americans hide their atrocious
deeds in self-serving rationalizations that nobody really
believes, not even, I suspect, the people who are uttering
them.
And we
see from American behavior inside America — the acceptance of
their government’s lies about 9/11, the wars in Afghanistan
and Iraq, and continuing promises of further invasions of
other innocent countries — that the United States is a nation
of foul, cowardly, heartless, psychotic and unprincipled
murderers, who have blackmailed the rest of the world into
accepting their racist imperalism and aggression at the point
of their very big guns.
There
is no terror threat. It was invented by the Israelis in the
White House who wanted to take the focus off the genocide
going on in Israel. The 9/11 deception will not be solved
until the Israeli component of it is unearthed, and right now,
that won’t happen because the entire 9/11 skeptics movement is
riddled with Israeli moles and Zionist
apologists.
How
long will the world wait to do something about this menace,
now that it has been proven that no matter how many actual
Americans disapprove of this consumately sociopathic behavior,
they are powerless to stop the corporate war machine, which
they support by their silence, from plundering the planet into
an irreversibly toxic condition.
By
their actions over the past century, Americans have revealed
themselves to be psycho killers in pursuit of profit at the
expense of everyone else on the planet.
They
must be stopped, and if Americans can’t stop themselves, then
someone else must, for the benefit of what is good and right
and noble and honest.
The
real terrorists are the Americans (and their sidekicks the
British, the Israelis and the Australians), and the rest of
the world needs to wake up to that before it’s too late for
everyone.
If the
United States were ever to consent to the auspices of a
genuinely honest World Court (which is why we won’t), its
leaders would easily be convicted of widespread genocide and
crimes against humanity, and be sentenced to the maximum
penalty.
By
their silent complicity, the American people are accessories
to all these horrendous crimes before, during, and after the
fact, and deserve the same punishment as its
leaders.
It’s a
little something to remember when on that fateful day the
world finally comes calling to repay America for the gifts it
has bestowed upon the world.
Just
don’t say you didn’t know. Because people with guns don’t
listen.
