One of the least remembered facts about the government, when discussing "government this" and "government that", is that the military is also government in the United States.There is a specific cabinet position which we now call The Secretary of Defense, which heads the department for government military operations.
If it were named according to what it does, that cabinet position would be The Secretary of The Military.
But to help "sell the toothpaste", the name was changed from The Department of War, to something else.
'Twas the warrior general, who later became president, who made the jaw dropping statement:
Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone.(The States of War Budgets). How has MOMCOM convinced the public to believe it is providing them with everything, including their freedom, when in fact it is crucifying them on an iron cross?
It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children.
This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron.
Speaking of the press, if the "M" in MOMCOM that represents the main stream media were to do some journalistic investigation, the public would be reminded that it is an excruciating crucifixion indeed.
As we speak, some 1,500,000 children are homeless in these United States, as well as millions more adults.
Millions more have lost their homes but live in apartments now, with friends, or with family.
Millions more have lost jobs, savings, and health care.
Millions more beyond that are no longer fully employed.
And on and on it goes.
But war spending has been going up and up, and the Obama Administration and the party called the Democrats in the lead in congress, have just passed the largest war budget.
Need I mention the bankers who have been bailed out to the tune of trillions of dollars for handling MOMCOM money?
The one MOMCOM minions say they are worshipping, when they put bible verses on the sights of their weapons, said "what you did not do for the least of these you did not do for me" would also say MOMCOM "why hast thou forsaken me?"
Today the ideological slaves of MOMCOM will be voting against the health care reform legislation for what they claim are various "reasons".
They will say it will make "government" bigger; it will be a government takeover of health care.
Remember that when they use the word "government" they know most people forget that word includes the military, and remember they know that most people think "government" means only civilians.
The neoCon MOMCOM minions know that this health care reform struggle is between MOMCOM wars vs the common welfare.
It involves doing the things necessary to begin to avoid crucifying those Americans who are not part of MOMCOM by spending a smaller portion of our money for war making.
MOMCOM wants more sacrifice from those Americans, which means she-it is against decreasing any of the obscene military spending, or getting rid of tax favors for oil barons and rich banksters.
Why does MOMCOM hate America?
Here's how MOMCOM would reply: I have provided the poor and needy among you who have met my call with employment and membership in my noble cause. Their deaths and injuries were glorious sacrifices for the allmighty state, which will be grateful to them forever - although forever is not meant as really "forever."
ReplyDeleteThe poor and the homeless among you who have not met my call are not worthy of such an exalted status, and are fully deserving of their pitiful fate. Let them pull themselves up and work for a living like the rest of Americans, or let them die in misery. Life is a test; those who pass it will prosper, while those who don't will die homeless in poverty, shame, and disgrace.
The rich and powerful among you have answered every call and passed every test. God himself has decreed that they alone are worthy and deserving of wealth; who among you are worthy to doubt Him? MOMCOM takes as it sees fit to preserve God's judgements, for God is mighty and wrathful and renders his judgements here on earth through the mighty arms of MOMCOM. Let all evil doers fear the mighty MOMCOM, for when God speaks, MOMCOM acts.
disaffected,
ReplyDeleteThat does seem to be the heart of Cheney and Bush II types.
The 1,500,000 thousand homeless children are guilty so they are being punished for their sins.
Some god they have fabricated ... about as good as Brownie "doin' a heckuva job".
The bottom line is that they have to blame someone else for their state of incompetence as humane beings.
Why not take that glorious courage they brag about and use it to blame defenseless children who can't defend themselves?
oops I typed "1,500,000 thousand homeless" when I meant 1,500,000 homeless.
ReplyDeleteOne and a half million children are homeless in our kind and gentle nation.
