Letters to the Empire VI, Obama and the Economy
85An Open Letter to Barack Obama
I sent the following in an email to President Obama today, Tuesday, November 10, 2009, 2:47 PM.
I attempted to cc Bernie Sanders and Dennis Kucinich but was unable to acquire a simple email address.
It was also sent to the Albuquerque Journal, the Village Voice, the New York Times and several websites. I will continue sending it out in the coming days.
``We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common Defense, PROMOTE THE GENERAL WELFARE, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.''
To President Barack Obama.
Mr. President
This message, should you possess the courage and wisdom to heed it, will make you the American President most honored, respected and beloved in history, not only by the working people of the nation but, in fact, the entire world.
I have watched, with growing dismay, for the past year as the populist wave, which swept you into office, has crashed against the rocky wall of an obdurate congress apparently hell-bent on continuing to defy the will of the people. The high tide of that swell is swiftly ebbing. If you do not soon set sail upon it, you will find yourself stranded on a shore left barren by disappointment and hostile with reproach.
I know you to be well informed, a man of advanced education and great intelligence. Therefore, I have no doubt that you are fully cognizant that America has, in fact, been transformed from a democratic republic to a corporate plutocracy. I am equally certain that you understand that the people of our nation and, indeed, the world, are completely at the mercy of a cartel of insatiably greedy international bankers. Though following the steps put forth in this message will forever endear you to the great masses of humanity, it will make you an object of hatred in the eyes of that small but exceedingly powerful group. You will keep company in history with the likes of Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, Andrew Jackson and Abraham Lincoln.
If you will summon your courage and resolve to do what you know to be right, you will be forever remembered as the president who saved America in what I firmly believe to be its darkest hour. You will become only the second American President in history to completely eliminate the national debt and you will do so, easily, before the end of your first term. In no more than a year, two at most, you will create a new American economy for the benefit of all the people. Furthermore, in that short span, you will lift the nation to heights of prosperity and plenty never before witnessed. This unheard of, unparalleled success will soon send ripples, then waves, of progress and plentitude around the globe. America will finally become the beacon of inspiration and leadership it has always proclaimed itself. By following your example, national leaders will end strife and lift people everywhere out of poverty and oppression. The presidency of Barack Obama will shine forth as one of the brightest moments in history.
Your immediate predecessor was perhaps the vilest criminal ever to occupy the White House. When the full extent of his crimes are one day made known, he will take his place as one of the greatest villains in history. During those eight stolen years, more power was shifted to the executive than at any other time in our history. The theory of the unitary executive was implemented with a vengeance. Since Mr. Bush has not even been investigated, let alone charged or indicted, the precedent he established remains in play. Use that power and those tactics now or lose, forever, the opportunity.
The steps which follow will dramatically alter the economic landscape of America in the most positive way imaginable in the shortest possible time. Implement them immediately by whatever means necessary. America will become prosperous and debt free in less than two years and the rest of the world will follow within the decade.
1. Pay off the national debt with debt-free U.S. Notes.
If the U.S. can issue a dollar bond, it can issue a dollar bill. Both are based completely on the good faith and credit of the government. One is subject to interest, the other is not.
2. Abolish fractional reserve banking.
While paying the debt, reserve requirements for all banks and financial institutions will be raised proportionally. This will allow time for the absorption of the U.S. Notes, which will be deposited, thereby increasing the reserves of banks to required levels. The same U.S. Notes will eventually be used to assume whatever liability remains to the financial institutions. These will be paid off to keep the money supply stable. Within a year or slightly longer, the national debt will be eliminated and all banks will have reserves equal to their liabilities. This balance will be maintained from that point forward.
3. Repeal the Federal Reserve Act (1913) and the National Banking Act (1864).
This will restore the control of the currency and economy to the Department of Treasury. No private person or institution should ever be allowed to regulate banking.
4. The United States must withdraw from the International Monetary Fund, the Bank for International Settlements and the World Bank.
These privately held institutions act globally as the Federal Reserve does nationally. They further tighten the grip of international bankers on control of the world economy. Functions such as currency exchange can be handled at the national level.
These actions will eliminate the major causes of economic instability, which are the Federal Reserve, a privately held central bank just like the Bank of England, which was the real cause of the American Revolution, and fractional reserve banking, which allows banks to loan and charge interest on money that doesn't even exist. Furthermore and most significantly, the risk of sever depression will be eradicated. The illusion of the "business cycle" will vanish, never to cause poverty and destitution again.
This solution is neither radical nor revolutionary. It is the system that Benjamin Franklin described to his acquaintances in England as being the reason for the great prosperity of the American colonies. Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, Andrew Jackson and Abraham Lincoln all advocated and fought for this very system. When they were successful in implementing it, the nation flourished. When their victories were overturned by international bankers, the nation was plunged into financial calamity to the benefit of a small group of money changers. This is where we find ourselves today, more thoroughly enslaved by international bankers than ever before in the history of the world.
If you will fight for this plan and see it through to its fruition, you will be forever remembered as the man who changed the world for the greater good and brought Peace and prosperity to humanity.
"It is for us, the living, rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they have, thus far, so nobly carried on. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us - that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they here gave the last full measure of devotion - that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain; that this nation shall have a new birth of freedom; and that this government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."

When it comes to our survival as a society and a species, I think there is much we can agree upon eovery.
Even to agree to disagree without enmity is step in the right direction.
I probably will.
Your letter is thought provoking. Sounds pretty radical, but I'll continue to ponder it.
Paul Krugman says we are being Californicated:
You totally amaze me and are such a good AMERICAN...I pray for what you say and hope HE reads this or at least his help does, how ever that works.
You should be President....Thanks I feel better now...but still praying...:O) Hugs G-Ma
Ralph, it's the only kind of "economy" that has ever provided for sustainable commerce while being equitable and providing for all members of society. It's clearly documented in recorded history. Unfortunately, it's not the sort we're taught in school. I wonder why.
I appreciate your enthusiasm G-Ma. Of course, it's highly unlikely that he'll ever read it or even know it exists. At least I feel like I'm trying. Thanks and hugs back atya.
I'm all for number two. The history of banking is the history of misery and political messes. Banks should be heavily regulated and boring.
Good on you for sending the email. I don't think anyone cares what we think anymore, CWB. Do you? I mean, I feel like none of these people in Washington are listening to what we want--if you don't have money, they don't care.
I still get emails from Obama asking for money for this issue or that issue. That bothers me. I feel like, isn't it your job to represent me? Since when do you need money AFTER you won to do what you were elected to do?
I mean, I know it's his staff, not him, but still. I don't have any freakin' money.
hi pgrundy.
I think I agree that they don't give a rat's ass anymore. They haven't been listening for a long time. But didn't all those people vote for Obama because they thought he was going to be different? I tried to do a little marketing with the way I worded the letter. I thought maybe some gatekeeper of the email might be swayed a little by all the hyperbole regarding the potential glory for the Obama administration. Who knows how these people think?
I did vote for him because I thought he would be different. I still think I made an informed choice and did the best I could and I still think he was the best candidate, but I'm not happy with how he's handling the financial sector. He looks bought and paid for to me. Why does he have the same crooks who created the mess in charge of the mess? Nothing, I mean, NOTHING has been done to re-regulate, let alone reform, finance. They're right back to the same old games that caused the meltdown. Goldman was one of his biggest contributors. So what am I to make of that? I don't want to think it is what it looks like it is, but if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck then a person has to face the fact that, well, it could be a damned duck.
Beejeez! This is a very powerful letter. Icould bet my life that if Obama reads this, he'll be move to the core... But, will he??? I think this letter speaks on behalf of millions of frustrated people out there. Thanks CWB.
Of course if he wasn't one of the Illuminati/NWO cabal himself, and if he did put in place what you suggest, then the world would be a better place really soon.
But he would also most probably be dead, because these boys don't mess around, look what they did to JFK for wanting to do the right thing and mint silver dollars!
Personally I would just tell the international bankers that the game is up and we are stripping them of all their ill gotten gains, but to do that you'd need the military behind you, and who can count on that!
Still, like 300 politicians at the bottom of the sea, it's a start.
I hope you have a safe house ready for when they start the round ups!
I voted for him too pgrundy. Yes we were making what we thought was an informed decision but I'm beginning to think it was MISinformed.
These people are a bunch of vultures picking at the corpse of America. When the conversion to third world status is complete, they'll be able to focus their full attention on the remaining "advanced" countries.
Quack, quack.
Thanks shamelabboush.
Like I said to G-Ma, Obama will probably never even learn of the existence of the letter let alone read it. I just want to feel like I'm trying. And I'll keep trying as long as I'm breathing.
What can I say aguasilver? I'm just trying to make a difference.
You think Lincoln was killed over slavery? NO. He wanted to keep his greenbacks permanently as the currency of America. Evidence that had been withheld at the time of the trial of Booth was later dug up by a canadian lawyer. Booth was hired by the international banking cartel.
After Andrew Jackson killed the Second Bank of the United States, an attempt was made on his life. A jobless house painter, Richard Lawrence, would later say that he had been hired by wealthy europeans who had promised to protect him. Once again, the international bankers.
Hey, that last sentence really isn't funny!
Hi ColdWar:
Excellent "hub."
If Obama were to read, understand and agree with you, what could he do? He is but the "titular" head of a nation. The President could present your suggestions, but could do no more.
You mentioned "psychopaths" in one of your responses. Tell me that there are not megamoniacal, greedy, power hungry, "Rothschild" psychopaths involved in the Federal Reserve and world banking systems! Anyone who has studied the Rothschilds knows that it perported that money controls the world!...and it does! So, he who controls "money," rules everything...absolutely!
Our forefathers knew well the weaknesses of prior world gov'ts and sagaciously created a plan for one which could not be controlled by any single facet of it. Thus insuring that the "republic" it created would be voted upon by the people it would govern....ahh, but they couldn't imagine, the powerful, overwhelming effect money would eventually have on every facet of extant human life and on man's "psychopathic" nature! Absolute POWER, corrupts, ABSOLUTELY!
Your "hub" provided "catharsis" for you so it is valuable.
You have extraordinary ability to express your knowledge and understanding of subjects which I grapple with everyday of my life. They still confound me.
I am old enough now to know that "what will be, will be," and do not spend time concerning myself with the economy and politics except in a "cursory" way.
If you get anything more than a "rote" Thank you for your effort" kind of response from our Pres., pls let us know.
Your fan, Qwark
CWB, I found this fascinating - I don't know much about finance - it has just never been my area of study, but overall, your ideas interest me. What resonated with me is your disappointment in what appears to be the current support of the status quo, and the reality that corporations are so powerfully mixed up in government (actually owners of the government, as in fascism) that the great change Obama promised, and that liberals supported may remain a pipe dream. I believe Obama is a good man who sincerely wants to help bring about sweeping reform, but his hands are tied and he is required to play the game in order to get anything done to make even small changes. Look at the health care debacle - even democrats have fought against the reform proposals - and only 1 Republican voted for it! It's as if the powers that be are now so strong and influential on all levels, any change seems miraculous. I think you nailed it by saying if Obama will stand up and go for broke in the face of the current insanity, and deliver on his promises, he would go down as one of the most admired men in history. If he tries to play it safe and compromises away meaningful reform, as seems to be the case, he will loose all of us who knocked doors, and gave $10 donations to moveon.org to get him elected. I think he needs a lesson from Kucinich in just telling it like it is and calling out the lying liars. Thanks for a great read! Kartika
I doubt if anyone audacious enough to attempt any real change could sufficiently progress their career with any of the mainstream political parties - but change is irrepressible when it gets enough popular support. I always vote for the most left wing candidate I can find. Not necessarily for their policies, but because if enough people did the same, it would shift the middle ground in (what I think is) the right direction.
In the UK in 1997, we had an Obama kind of experience when New Labour came to (power). The warning bells rang in my head in the weeks running up to the 1997 election when the hopeful prospective ministers had to go, cap in hand, up before the industrial and media barons; it was the nearest thing to medieval fealty I’ve ever witnessed, (a bit like the Ragman Rolls). Of course, when they get into power, the system eats them up - and they forget about us.
However, whereas pamphleteers like Thomas Paine spread the word in the 18th Century - the 21st Century might see the internet as the medium for change. So keep hubbing.
My last sentence was not meant to be funny, it was a word to the wise.
For all the time you are writing offbeat hubs, you are no problem to the NWO et al, but the moment you write to the President and then publish your letter to the world (small though we may be,it's an open platform) you start to represent a threat level and will be given a risk assessment.
You know (obviously) that ALL these posts are recorded and read by software that will flag anything that is of interest to them.
You will be of interest to them.
Until now your communications were recorded by the UK's listening services, and the UK's were recorded by your security services, that way both countries could claim that they were not spying on their own people.
Now even that subterfuge has been abandoned as the UK has just passed legislation which forces ALL UK ISP's to store ALL electronic media sent or received to a UK user for one year, in case they need to examine it for terrorist activity.
You are aware of course that your own founders of an independent America were terrorists in the eyes of King George, and that a terrorist is someone who disagrees with the ruling elites understanding of what is correct.
It's a small step to 'black helicopters' and FEMA camps and with the laws you now have in place 'they' can 'disappear' anybody and nobody can say a thing
I used to use a ghost server ISP, but then I realised that if I were them, the easiest way to get access to all the people I wanted to track would be to offer a low cost ghosting service.
I frankly don't care what they have on me as far as posting is concerned, they know that as a Christian I will never take any action against them.
They and I both understand that the future has already been decided, we are simply observers with bit parts to play as the scenario draws to a close.
You on the other hand are serious about trying to thwart their plans.
I would make provision for a safe house if I were going to progress that line of engagement, and I mean that with regard for you and my best wishes that you do take it seriously.
Take a look at my 'Let's abolish income tax?' whilst your at it, that's another way to skin this cat, as it would show people just how much the tax agencies charge them per head each year, and only 30% of the tax collected goes back to 'human resources' - unbelievably 54% of tax paid goes to the military....
Well Qwark, I'm not at all sure what Obama could or couldn't do. Ideally, he should stage a military coup and send all these assholes to Guantanamo. Just being facetious. It's a shot in the dark Qwark. I can't just do nothing, it's just not in my nature. There's really not a lot I can actually DO, so I take an occasional shot in the dark.
Trust me, I am fully aware of the psychopathic nature of those who rule us. It has been the subject of a number of my essays. The systems you mention and the rest of the korporate world are replete with people presenting with psychopathological neuroses at varying levels, with those at the very top being the most extreme examples.
No amount of foresight or planning can anticipate all the variables. All we can do is attempt to increase the probability of our species survival long enough for the evolutionary process to do its job. I think the potential of Homo sapiens is vast. Our current course is not one conducive to our continued existence. I, for one, will do what I can, as inconsequential as my efforts are likely to be, to change that course. You may address me as Don Quixote henceforth.
I certainly agree there is a cathartic element to this and all my writing, graphic art and musical compositions. I wouldn't be able to exist without those facets of my persona.
My humble thanks for the compliment. Whatever modest abilities I may possess result from my struggles to comprehend. These things I say and do are merely the grunting noises I make during the effort. All things are subject to change without notice.
You may rest assured that, should I receive anything beyond the expected generic response, it will become public knowledge immediately.
Thank you kartika.
There's really not much to know about "finance". It's 99% smoke and mirrors. All the esoteric jargon, of "economists" and the priesthood of wall street, is based on fraud, deception and lies. All the various "instruments" financial "products" are made up out of whole cloth. The money changers have created a cult of mystery, not unlike theism, and convinced everyone not a part of the prelacy that it's simply too complicated for mere mortals to comprehend. Honestly, if you know how to balance your check book, you know all there is about economics.
Your observation that the government is owned by the korporatocracy is completely correct. I have said this repeatedly in both "hubs" and comments. It's so self-evident that I'm nonplussed by the inability of some to see it. Those in power at the international level, seeking global economic control, are determined to keep the status quo. I think, had Obama acted immediately upon taking office, the popular support would have been so overwhelming that it would have been difficult to hold back at least some significant changes. Either he was too cautious or is simply another servant mammon.
I think that if the Obama administration doesn't act very strongly very soon, in 2012 we're going to see the neocons back in complete control with a republican in the white house. If that happens, it will be the proverbial straw needed to break the back of America with finality.
It's funny you should mention Kucinich. I was going to write him is as my choice for president but, like so many, I was taken in by the Obama marketing team. I now regret I did not stay with my original choice.
I think you're correct amillar. Anyone who tries to tip the apple cart is so marginalized by the good old boy network that, no matter how passionately they present their case, their voice is silenced. There simply is no real left in amerikan politics. Someone like Dennis Kucinich is the closest I can think of and he's powerless. People voted this time for someone whom they thought was very much more to the left than he turns out to be. Mores the pity.
I had and still have, though more faint, hopes for the internet being as you suggest. Therefore I will do as you suggest.
Thanks for your thoughts and encouragement.
I appreciate your concern aguasilver and I do worry about it. That being said, I had a petition on line for a couple of years. Its aim was to get the United Nations to impose sanctions against the u.s. as a rogue state. I sent that to a number of media outlets on and off line. It garnered less than five hundred signatures and brought me no unwanted attention.
Regarding income tax, if the plan outlined in my letter were adopted, income tax would be a dead issue. It would be unnecessary.
CWB, yes, this rings true - they talk about finance like it's more complex than brain surgery and we should just be quiet while they make all the decisions and dig the peons deeper into the ditch! We are truly the US of Corporations! Kucinich, my hero, will never be considered mainstream enough to be elected because our "mainstream" is pretty right and not really in the middle--I fear that is the reality. I think what happens with health care is kind of a litmus test to see how far compromised we are in the end. Hey here is the irony, the right is calling Obama a socialist and so far to the left, he's off the charts, while the left is disappointed he's not left enough!
Hi ColdWAr:
Don Q, you stated this "A man prepared has half fought the battle."
At my ripe old age I have earned the right to sit, front row, and view the onslaught!
I see the windmills are steadfast and lined for battle....do your damndest able Knight. I shall withhold my wager...for both thee and the "windmills" are deadly with thy mighty blows.
May the best combatant win!
NOW ON WITH THE SHOW!
I know "corny" but, aw, when yer at a loss for words, what the heck..:-)
Qwark
You've got it kartika. Keep the peasants in the dark, dumb 'em down and do their thinking for them. Create demand for useless products where none exists and ring up the sales as the consumer zombies fill their oversized, inefficient mcmansions with worthless junk, produced by the virtual slave labor of people who are doing the jobs that our neighbors once did before our entire manufacturing base was outsourced.
The health care bill that is currently in the Senate is nothing but a mass capitulation to the insurance industry and even that is being attacked by the extreme fringe. What we finally end up with will probably turn out to be worse than what we've already got.
There's a big sign over the place that was once occupied by the left in amerika. It reads VACANCY. Everything and everyone has shifted to the right of center and the people who are "in charge" are so far right that they're flirting with fascism. Referring to Obama as a socialist is the height of absurdity. It's simply ludicrous. Even the left that elected him isn't really on the left.
A little well phrased humor in the midst of all this gloom in not unwelcome Qwark.
The windmills do indeed have the advantage of might and power. But it is poison power and ruthless, heartless might. They are the forces of darkness and death.
What about truth, virtue, integrity and, above all, love? These are the things that prevail in spite of any and all assaults. They are intrinsic, essential elements of the human gestalt, the very things that make us human. They may be suppressed to the vanishing point but will never be completely exterminated. As long as a single ember remains, it will inevitably grow to a blazing fire of life to drive back the darkness.
ColdWar:
Don Q...you wax ELOQUENTLY!
I fear that that eventual "conflagration" will regress human life to again suffer the awful torments of once more testing the vagaries of fickle evolution.
The "gestalt' you mention forever lost to mutations so varied and some so vulgar that thousands of millenia will pass before another species of intelligent life can be metamorphosed into "creatures beyond our ability to dream.
"Truth, virtue, integrity and, above all, love?" All familiar only to a "conscious" entity. There may be no necessity for those "implied" virtues to exist. They may become passe, anachronisms as out of place in a future world and to future life as a stone ax would be to a "doomsday" weapon.
Now onward! You have battles to fight and such as I to entertain!
Qwark
It seems to me that there are too many chefs trying to control the kitchen ,the kitchen being the world.They can't seem to hide the fact that they all want to be the sole power in the world.The only thing that's stopping them is their own self interests.No one of them can keep power indefinitely without taking it outright ,and as soon as they do ,another faction moves to block them.It reminds one of the mobsters of the world involved in drugs,gambling,protitution etc.
I just read a headline news story about a medical helicopter crash in Reno Nevada today.If,I recall correctly ,thats at least four medical emergency helicopter crashes this year,and at least one military helicopter crash as well.Is,there somerhing about helicopters thats making them crash so often,or is it a lack of money for regular matainance or training?
Surely Qwark, those who will genetically engineer our evolutionary advance will see the necessity of retaining those particularly unique virtues. Or perhaps they will see them as useless, emotional obstacles to the higher goal of complete objectivity. An interesting conundrum. A completely objective, emotionless predator kills a defenseless infant prey animal, without compunction, to feed its own young. It will also risk its own life to protect its offspring. Is this a virtuous parent of a programmed survival machine? Where is the line and how do we know when it has been crossed?
Look for recent research and observations that have provided glimpses of chimps evolving in the wild, in real time, changing long practiced actions and passing the new behavior to other members of the troop. New advances in weaponry and playing in the water, a very high risk activity that heretofore was never seen.
The universe is emergent. What is becomes what was as incipient behavior replaces rote performance. Is such nascency confined to organisms or does it apply to the universe at large? And isn't Earth an organism in its own right?
Personally, I love not knowing everything. Life without mystery would be living death.
That mafia analogy isn't bad someonewhoknows. However, the crime families have merged. The international banking cartel rules over all.
I have no data regarding the helicopters and frankly don't see any connection to the topic under discussion here.
Hi ColdWar:
No doubt, you are right!.. "IF" man is not reduced to stone age existence. A nuclear holocaust is my prediction. The "mutations" I referred to would be the result. They would not be the result of those he would thoughtfully and willfully program into genes to benefit future human creations.
"IF" the human species is not decimated, "IF" it can function in concert, it will create new and improved "species" of human life that will hardly resemble modern man. This scenario is impossible to visualize faced with the myriad negatives facing life on this planet in the next 100 years.
Qwark
The nuclear scenario is certainly still a possibility Qwark. It's actually more likely now than it was during the cold war, IMO.
IF, IF, IF. So many possibilities. Too bad most of them are decidedly unpleasant.
ColdWar:
....amen!
I hope the human species continues. Of course, it's no coincedence that they're bombing the moon for "water." I think they're building a base so that we can populate the moon. As astronaut Edgar Mitchell said, the sun will burn out pretty soon. Time to find another planet.
I don't think we're quite ready to colonize other planets yet Writer Rider. The moon would make a good base for deep space launches, no gravity. So, if there were enough water and other resources, that might be a possibility.
We've got at least another four billion years before our sun burns out. However, the sun could do other things that would wipe out life on Earth. A large enough solar flare could do it.
What I personally feel that his actions talks lesser than his words.
Reading your hubs is often quite a surreal experience for me, CWB. I live in a moderately prosperous corner of south-east England where life just bowls along relatively undisturbed by the chaos and carnage that I read about in the paper, or see on the news. I can (almost) understand why people shrug their shoulders and mentally cross the road. If it doesn't affect you, then why get involved? The problem is, of course, that sooner or later the diseased part of the world will gradually begin to impact on our pleasant existence, and we'll all be swept up in it.
I was really pleased when you in America got your new president. For a small, shining moment, I sincerely thought that change might happen. Perhaps small improvements might yet filter through, but as for the rest? Who knows?
Amanda, I believe your fear of ultimate global contamination is much closer to reality than you imagine. The amerikan, non-negotiable life-style, the kapitalist/consumerism paradigm is a cancer that is spreading like wildfire across the globe.
I'm beginning to believe that small, shining moment was just a momentary glint of light reflecting off one of the many mirrors being used, along with an abundance of smoke, to, once again, deceive the already befuddled people of amerika.
Apparently,the healthcare in this country
doesn't include helicopter maintanince.
The powers that be are manipulating the economy of the world so that,what used to be third world countries are now surpassing what used to be the first world countries.Especially the unitedstates.I hear China has high speed rail now.
Close someonewhoknows.
You may rest assured that, if the helicopters in question are to be used by any of the elite, the maintenance will be done frequently and meticulously.
Actually, they're trying to create a third world world. They will live in oases of abundance scattered around the globe, gated, guarded and protected by their private armies while the mass of humanity is relegated to slums, shanty towns, barrios and ghettos in lands ravaged by climate change, war and rampant exploitation.
I'm disappointed in the way things are going myself. I mean, I'm trying to cut Obama some slack, but we need to spend more money creating jobs here in the U.S. rather than the wars abroad. That may be a controversial thing to say, but the Germans are doing a good job in Afghanistan enabling the Afghan population without further bloodshed. We need to give Iraq over to the U.N, in my opinion. The wars must end.
"The wars must end."
That says it all WR.
I'm sorry to say,friend, that you are delusional, if you think ObaMao cares anything at all about Americans, it's very clear, with each passing day, that the depth of his hatred and contempt for America and it's values is bottomless, I am a Veteran and I watch how he treats our soldiers, last week, he said they made a good photo-op for him, He's played more folk in 10 months than GWB did in 8 years,
Where does it say here that I believe Obama will do what's right or that I think he will help the country? This is no message of praise, which you should be able to understand, had you read it or the attendant comments.
You sound more to me like the one feeling hatred and contempt.
The fact that you are a veteran is irrelevant to this thread, though I agree that they are not being treated properly. If they were, they wouldn't be in either Afghanistan or Iraq in the first place. The abandonment of returning veterans goes back to at least the korean conflict and became epidemic with vietnam. Would you like to blame Obama for that as well?
Obama is just another servant of the plutocracy. To imply however that Bush was in some way a better person or president is beyond absurd. George W. Bush is the vilest criminal to have ever occupied the white house. He was never even duly elected to the office.
None of this has anything to do with this "hub" however so, if you will be so kind, in future, do not comment unless you have something apropos to say. To do otherwise is a waste of both our time.
You have a bad tendency to make assumptions vrajavala. It's an unfortunate trait. You might want to address that before you find yourself with foot-in-mouth disease.
Thanks for taking the time to read, if in fact you did. Your future comments, should they be of substance and pertinent to the subject at hand, will be welcome.
