Give That Man A Peace Prize!

 Pembaca Indonesia: tidak percaya kepada apa saja dari WikiLeaks. WikiLeaks adalah pelaksanaan CIA. Mereka mau membuat situasi seperti Libia di Indonesia. Kerusuhan dan protes adalah apa yang diinginkan oleh mereka untuk menciptakan karena kekayaan Indonesia bisa diterima kalau tidak stabil. Hati-hatilah informasi yang mana pun yang jelek di negeri Indonesia.

“The President does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation."  -Barack H. Obama, Boston Globe, December 20, 2007

This morning, as you ate your Wheaties and sipped your coffee, did you have a twinge of conscience?  Did you visualize all the men, women and children who, in your name, would never enjoy breakfast with the family again? Did it bother you at all that millions have died because of you that never attacked, nor even harbored ill will towards you, your family or your nation?

Did you vote for Obama?  Did you believe the hype about "hope" and "change?"  Were you one of the rabid supporters who castigated anyone who dared speak a cross word about such a great man as Obama?

Obama: the greatest mass murderer to ever win a Nobel Peace Prize.

Not a single Iraqi, Afgani or Libyan have been shown to have attacked the United States, nor has any proof ever been offered that any of those people had intent to do so.  Three wars have been perpetrated on the lone premise that 19 Saudi citizens hi-jacked four commercial aircraft and flew them into civilian and military targets in the mainland US.  Yet, not a single shot has been fired at Saudi Arabia.  Why is that?

And why are a good number of the supposed hi-jackers still alive?  And why are there so many questions surrounding the events of 9/11?  And what, exactly, did Libya do to the United States to deserve being attacked?

In point of fact, the US has perpetrated an act of international terrorism, attacking a sovereign nation without provocation, whose sole crime is that the country has oil and wants to sell it to whoever offers the best price.

To claim that the US is protecting rebel factions inside the sovereign borders of Libya has absolutely no weight under law or reasoned argument.  Especially when there are far more desperate places on Earth, where the citizens suffer deeply, and have done so for decades, without so much as the US batting an eyelash.  The only difference between them and Libya, insofar as the US government is concerned, is that Libya has oil.

That's all.

This fact could not be more obvious now.  Iraq, as an isolated incident, might have been arguable, but combined with Afganistan and now Libya, there can be no other conclusion than lust for the rightful wealth and resources of sovereign nations.

We must also consider the possibility that these events are nothing more than slight-of-hand, as well.  As the world focuses attention on these unprovoked, immoral and unlawful naked aggressions, what is being perpetrated behind the scenes?  Theories abound, but one can speculate that we may never know in our lifetimes, if ever.

In the meantime, global focus has shifted away from Japan and imminent nuclear disaster.  Why hasn't the US mustered its might and resources to aid in the recovery of those poor folks affected by natural disaster, and the subsequent man-made threats?  Why is it we can muster all this effort to kill and destroy, but not for peaceful and humanitarian purposes?

Oh, that's right...Japan doesn't have any oil.

If the same events has occurred in Saudi Arabia, do you think there would be a difference?  Would the global coalition be wringing its hands about cleaning up the mess and getting things back to normal?  Would such a disaster already be shunted to below the fold on the second page?

Do you feel rage?  Do you visualize the victims of your silence?  Does it make you angry that a man was elected, at least partly, on the premise of ending America's naked aggressions, who has since escalated those aggressions?  Have you done anything at all to put an end to it?

Or are you too busy enjoying your Wheaties and wheat toast with a nice latte from your home coffee bar?

Suppose tomorrow, you awoke to the sounds of aircraft and Tomahawk missiles raining down on your neighborhood.  Suppose the world, tired of the illegal criminal acts of America in so many parts of the world, had formed a coalition, rammed a resolution through the UN, and proceeded to attack your home.  Suppose, instead of your morning commute, you were picking your way through dismembered bodies and destroyed homes wondering what in the hell you did to anyone to deserve this.

Inconceivable?  Really?

"As you sow, so shall you reap."

Do you think anyone would weep for you, when you did nothing to stop the terrible death and destruction your government hailed down on so many victims in so many parts of the world?

Or do you think they would simply enjoy their Wheaties and wheat toast while brewing up another latte, and feel justified that you were receiving a just reward?

The US has not prosecuted a lawful and Constitutional war since World War II.  Korea, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Granada, Panama, Haiti, Iraq, Afganistan, and now Libya are all illegal actions unilaterally ordered and operated by an Executive Branch of the federal government, and sanctioned by the American people, who have done nothing to stop it.  Millions have died because of your inaction.

Does your conscience have any say yet?  Have you checked your pulse lately?

Land Of The Twee, Home Of The Slave

America, people out here in the real world are getting fed up with you. You can't tend to your own problems, but you feel compelled, for some reason, to meddle in the affairs of others.

Case in point: Egypt. The now deeply discredited State Department, under the auspicious (gag) leadership of Hillary Give-Us-Da-Rod Clinton, has the gall to pose like a debutante wall-flower and demand Mubarak and adversaries 'talk.'

Talk?! About what? What is Hillary smoking, and when did she smoke it?

Let's do a quick inventory. America invaded two sovereign nations on a first-strike, using manufactured 'evidence' and discredited 'intelligence' to violate its own and international law, has killed millions with 'economic sanctions,' has used its branches to infiltrate and manipulate internal and extermal organizations to its own ends, has used torture and humiliation to extract 'confessions' from farmers, has killed its own citizens for little or no cause (Waco, Ruby Ridge, West Texas, etc.), and most recently has been caught arming Mexican militants who are in turn killing US agents along the border.


This partial, and admittedly brief, list of grievances doesn't even begin to touch on things such as: Iran-Contra, bio-warfare on American Indians, financial fraud, WikiLeaks revelations, slavery, and a whole host of other actions.

Furthermore, there is good season to suspect the events in Tunisia and Egypt, and possibly others, is fomentated by agents and agencies within the US federal government to manipulate oil trading, control shipping via the Suez canal, and manufacturing enemies in order to futher justify enormous military/industrial/pharmaceutical expenditures.

It is one of the oldest tricks in the books: governments create enemies in order to steer the populace into its waiting arms. Its use dates back hundreds of years and the theory spans continents and cultures. One can read up on the technique in books such as, "The Prince," "The Art of War," and many other tomes on political manipulations of mass society. The Nazis brought the technique to a masterful level, while Madison Ave. has pioneered its use to create demand where none existed.

The current situation is an obvious attempt to break the back of OPEC, marshal sympathy for Israel (whose foot-shooting spree lately is something to behold), and herd existing Middle Eastern governments into the 'helpful' arms of western hegimony.

Hillary's weak and laughable call for 'talks' is so far from effectual as to be derisable. That the US government thinks it has ANY business mucking about in the internal affairs of other nations, while its own go unattended, is little more than a slap in the face of Egypt. The US' sole concern is to guarantee safe passage for its citizens in harm's way and to tend to vessels carrying its flag through the Suez canal. That's it.

The monotonous and predicable droning of US media in favor of intervention in Egypt is nothing more than reading Israeli press releases. That nation, one of the most grievious rogue nations on Earth at the moment, it manipulating the US into doing its dirty work. Since the global community is increasingly dubious of Israel's treatment of Palestine and its highly illegal annexation of Palestine's territories, Israel must manufacture a crisis in the region to cause the wagons to circle. However, she may find that the 'boy who cried wolf' is a more apt description of the world's response.

Israel is like the well-known and reviled neighborhood bully, who for years has terrorized and beat on the other kids in the area. Now that the other kids have banded together and taken the fight to him, he is running and crying through the block. But, the adults, aware of the situation, are rightfully turning a deaf ear. Sometimes, it's just good and proper that the bully get his comuppance.

Israel's lapdog, the US, is also sounding hollow and weak. Fighting two wars, mobilizing military all over Asia, fighting border insurgency, and trying to recover from both a major economic set-back and a major weather-whammy, the US is in no position to extend its power yet again.

Furthermore, exactly what right does the US have to police the world? It has neither good example, moral superiority, nor financial might to throw around. It is little more than the Power That Was, the aging general in the rocking chair trying to fight yesterday's war in today's brave new world.

The US is like a gambler who, after a long winning streak, is drunk on his illusional luck and self-importance. Feeling cocky, he has called 'all-in' with his trays-over-deuces, while the newcomer across the table is quietly holding bullets-over-bosses.

Both the US and Israel may find that the streak has run out. Tired of being pushed around and playing second fiddle, the rest of the world is scattering like a herd of cats, not happy to be corralled yet again. It was fun when there were goodies at the end of the daisy chain, but the goodies have run out. Even Pavlovian response has its limits.

The US would be wise to retire to its proper place in history as the Empire That Was. It is embarassing to watch aging boxers try to recapture old glory and getting pummelled in the process. Pity changes to revulsion, and quaint becomes queer. The magic is wearing off and the world is beginning to catch glimpses of how the tricks are done. Its David Copperfield versus Chris Angel, and the more intimate illusion is holding sway.

As for our neighborhood bully, Israel, she too is losing her allure. She must resort of outright force now to maintain her position as underdog. She must beat critics with the 'anti-semitism' stick and toss people in jail for questioning, rightfully, the Holocaust industry. The old prom gown is showing its age.

The world at large is shaking off a century-long drunken binge. It was happy to let the US run amok when there were prizes to be had, but the money has run out and the prizes are little more than re-gifting. Thereare new and more interesting gee-gaws to be had elsewhere.

Even the old rally cry of 'democracy' is losing its lustre. People are seeing that 'democracy' only means weaponized wealth takes over and controls the game. When two wolves and a sheep vote on what's for dinner, the waiter is busy serving up mint jelly in anticipation of the outcome.

America, your glory is faded. Retire gracefully, like Bette Davis, and preserve the glory that was once yours. If you continue as you are, then you will soon tarnish whatever good you have done with the errors of your ways.

It's time for the States to follow the example of not only our Forefathers, but the Middle East just now. Slough off the old skin of empire and create yourself anew. Secede and re-form. Destroy the monster that has created itself before it destroys every man, woman and child within its grasp.

And as for Israel, well, it was fun while it lasted. You're on your own now. Better play nice.
