We’re a war-like people! We like war because we’re good at it! You know why we’re good at it? Cause we get a lot of practice. This country’s only 200 years old and already, we’ve had 10 major wars. We average a major war every 20 years in this country so we’re good at it! And it’s a good thing we are; we’re not very good at anything else anymore! Huh? Can’t build a decent car, can’t make a TV set or a VCR worth a fuck, got no steel industry left, can’t educate our young people, can’t get health care to our old people, but we can bomb the shit out of your country all right! Huh? Especially if your country is full of brown people; oh we like that don’t we? That’s our hobby! That’s our new job in the world: bombing brown people. Iraq, Panama, Grenada, Libya, you got some brown people in your country, tell them to watch the fuck out or we’ll goddamn bomb them! Well when’s the last white people you can remember that we bombed? Can you remember the last white - can you remember ANY white people we’ve ever bombed? The Germans, those are the only ones and that’s only because they were trying to cut in on our action. They wanted to dominate the world! Bullshit! That's our fucking job!” - George Carlin<br /><br />Obama’s lies (any excuse will serve a tyrant) about our national security have become so commonplace, so predictable, that the public no longer seems interested in the truth.<br /><br />“The war is not meant to be won, it is meant to be continuous. Hierarchical society is only possible on the basis of poverty and ignorance. This new version is the past and no different past can ever have existed. In principle the war effort is always planned to keep society on the brink of starvation. The war is waged by the ruling group against its own subjects and its object is not the victory over either Eurasia or East Asia, but to keep the very structure of society intact.” - George Orwell<br /><br />Very few Americans really know much about the American killing machine.<br /><br />“The world is like a ride at an amusement park. It goes up and down and round and round. It has thrills and chills and it’s very brightly colored and it’s very loud and it’s fun, for a while. Some people have been on the ride for a long time, and they begin to question: Is this real, or is this just a ride? And other people have remembered, and they come back to us, they say, “Hey – don’t worry, don’t be afraid, ever, because, this is just a ride…” But we always kill those good guys who try and tell us that, you ever notice that? And let the demons run amok. Jesus – murdered; Martin Luther King – murdered; Malcolm X – murdered; Gandhi – murdered; John Lennon – murdered; Reagan… wounded. But it doesn’t matter because: It’s just a ride. And we can change it anytime we want. It’s only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings and money. A choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your doors, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love, instead, see all of us as one. Here’s what we can do to change the world, right now, to a better ride. Take all that money that we spend on weapons and defenses each year and instead spend it feeding and clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would many times over, not one human being excluded, and we could explore space, together, both inner and outer, forever, in peace.” – Bill Hicks<br /><br />We are what we pretend to be. <br /><br />“Go back to bed, America…Watch these pituitary retards bang their fucking skulls together and congratulate you on living in the land of freedom. Here you go, America! You are free to do what we tell you!” - Bill Hicks<br /><br />How many have been born into this chaos and will never know what peace feels like?Denis Nevillenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-974773076690597683.post-38285229969364823742014-07-01T16:08:03.145-04:002014-07-01T16:08:03.145-04:00Though the players have changed, the game remains ...Though the players have changed, the game remains the same. Let's go back exactly 50 years, when LBJ was practising "escalatio" on Vietnam & the Dominican Republic. As best described in the Tom Lehrer song "Send the Marines" you can watch on YouTube:<br /><br />"When someone makes a move/Of which we don't approve/Who is it that intervenes?/First, send the Marines!<br />We'll send them all we've got/John Wayne & Randolph Scott/Remember those exciting fighting scenes?/To the shores of Tripoli/But not to Mississippoli/What do we do? Send the Marines!<br />For right makes might/And till they've seen the light/They've got to be protected/All their rights respected/Till someone we like can be elected.<br />Members of the Corps/All hate the thought of war/Stop calling it aggression/We hate that expression/We only want the world to know/That we approve the status quo/They love us everywhere we go/So when in doubt, send the Marines!<br /><br />4Runnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02582762546159637023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-974773076690597683.post-40535568149178741472014-07-01T12:16:27.877-04:002014-07-01T12:16:27.877-04:00That tarnish remover only works on DNA in the USA....That tarnish remover only works on DNA in the USA. Seems that French magistrates have arrested – not indicted, but arrested – for at least for 24 hours, which could be extended to two days, Nicolas Sarkozy, the former president of France. After a long investigation he is being made to respond to a series of charges all related basically to corruption, like influence peddling, breach of faith, campaign money illegalities, etc. His lawyer and several cronies are also being shaken down for the facts. So what, you say. Well, I was just wondering: Could we do this in America some day?Jay–Ottawahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10360356126450612113noreply@blogger.com
