The Third U.S. War!

November 20, 2010

We now say that Iraq is more of a peace-keeping event and not a war; however, our 50,000 military men and women there would call it a war. In Afghanistan we are surely at war and picking up the pace. I mean how long can we stay there anyway.

And then there’s the undeclared war but one of the most dangerous- The Mexican border war!

During the Mexican Revolution (1910-1929 basically), the United States joined Mexico in fighting PANCHO VILLA! There were battles raging in New Mexico and Arizona. Hello! What do you think is going on there now? Oh yes, and let’s add Texas to the mix. It seems that California has put up the white flag and surrendered.

This modern day war comes under the heading of a DRUG WAR- cartels battling for profit.

What is going on is NOT a drug war. Much like in Afghanistan, the war is over drugs so that MONEY can be obtained to fight the enemy which in both cases is the United States of America. The big difference is that Afghanistan and the revolutionaries there are a long way from Houston, Albuquerque, and Phoenix. Know what I mean Gene?

Fifty years ago Mexican guerillas financed their war by robbing banks.

Many politicians are saying that the answer is to make DRUGS LEGAL! Besides, we could make a lot of revenue by doing so and what politician isn’t looking for more money? But, here’s my bet. If we make DRUGS LEGAL, the rebels would go back to robbing banks, extortion, kidnapping, and other ways to raise revenue to support their cause, which is what? Mexico is very tribal (as is Afghanistan) and therein lies part of the answer.

The CIVIL WAR in Mexico today is much like that of 100 years ago except for two major differences.

1-Pancho Villa didn’t have helicopters, submarines, airplanes, AK47s, high-tech digital technology, etc.

2-We recognized the threat back then, but today we’re basically ignoring or giving in to the THIRD WAR.

Mexico City is the #1 kidnapping city in the world. Not far behind is Phoenix, Arizona with more than 1,000 abductions annually. Until our President and Congress understand the gravity of the war, quit playing politics, quit aiding and abetting the enemy and get serious about the threat, we’ll be paying a very huge price down the road. It makes no sense to be GROPING people at airport check in terminals while playing footsies with the enemy on our Southern-most border- the location of a growing WAR!

Can You Sense It?

November 10, 2010

We are (I’m talking the PLANET) in unchartered water!

We (I’m talking America) are way over our head. Try and put POLITICS & RACE aside as I say that Barack Obama (the social organizer) has been tasked many jobs that are WAY OVER his PAY GRADE! And, he has pulled around him people of like ilk: intellectuals, way left of America liberals, and individuals who have not worked in the real world.

>We’ve embarked upon BAILING OUT nearly every industry in the last two years.
>We’ve instituted programs (Obamacare) that can’t be funded, nor afforded.
>We’re now printing money as though it is real or means something.

As Obama lands in South Korea for the G-20 Summit, we’re on the verge of a CURRENCY WAR that has no good ending. Ireland is on the brink of repeating the Greece scenario except that the Irish really know how to take to the streets and RIOT!

>Glenn Beck sensed it last Friday and reported it.
>Clif High (web bot) has been forecasting it for 2+ years
>Tom Hartman just reported that 1/3rd of all US corporate profits are made by financial institutions who make NOTHING but enhance their wealth.
>The LIES being told by our own government that there were no MISSILE firings off the coast of California will come to light.

Yes, there is SOMETHING in the AIR and it’s not FEELING all that warm and fuzzy (maybe fuzzy).

The Parteee Is Over

November 2, 2010

I am not talking about the Democratic Party which has had a SUPER MAJORITY!

You know the addage, “Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely“. The Democrats had it all their way the last two years. Democrats CONTROLLED the Presidency, the Senate, and the House. And, they ABUSED the power! These are not my words, but the words of many Democrats who have been saying that Nancy Pelosi was AUTHORITARIAN in dealing with the House.

Well, duh!

My bet is that Republicans would do the same. What’s to be SEEN is whether the TEA PARTY can carry the water for the people or if they cow-tow to the establishments of power as most are want to be when put in that environment of ELITISM! Remember Barbara Boxer demanding that she be addressed as “Senator” in a committee hearing?

I do! It stuck in my memory bank very strongly.

The PARTEEE that I am referring to is the ELITISM & ABUSE OF WEALTH that comes from such power. The clearest example is on front page! It was there this summer when Michelle Obama spent MILLIONS on a vacation. Does a president really need to play GOLF every week (if you’re not a public servant- do it daily! Private industry and entrepreneurs EARN their keep) and take dozens of vacations? Does a president need to spend $200,000,000.00 of OUR MONEY to take a trip?

Thats $200,000,000.00 A DAY on his trip next week!

The US would be spending a whopping $200 million per day on President Barack Obama’s visit to the city. “The huge amount of around $200 million would be spent on security, stay and other aspects of the Presidential visit,” a top official of the Maharashtra Government privy to the arrangements for the high-profile visit said”. This is INSANITY.

When a government has so lost touch with REALITY and spends TRILLIONS that we do not have, lavish themselves (the Catholic church and many other religious institutions do the same) with LUXURY beyond measure, and then ask the people to cut back, we’re building an environment for TROUBLE! Can you say revolution?

I hope not.

Now, don’t read into this that I am against WEALTH- far from it. I am against POWER gone mad in the PUBLIC realm- in the political arena. It not only HAS TO END…..it is fast going to come to an end, sooner than later because the booze has all been consumed and the PARTEEE is over. Some just don’t want to leave the trough!
