AMERICAN WARS HAVE LITTLE TO DO WITH IDEALS-PROFITS RUNS THE WAR BUSINESS!!

 

AMERICAN WARS HAVE LITTLE TO DO WITH IDEALS-PROFITS RUNS THE WAR BUSINESS!!
(Unedited/Unabridged 2011) 

Introduction: 


The history of America’s wars shows that the main objective is that of increased consumption, which facilitated the stage for Corporations, making profits! (William D. Hartung, Dick Cheney and the Self-Licking Ice Cream Cone The Carlyle Group: Crony Capitalism without Borders, excerpted from the book, “How Much Are You Making On The War Daddy?, A Quick and Dirty Guide to War Profiteering in the Bush Administration, Nation Books, 2003, paper back” 


Most Vicious Iraq War Profiteers: 


The 25 Most Vicious Iraq War Profiteers are reported as follows: 1. Halliburton, 2. Veritas Capital Fund/DynCorp, 3. Washington Group International, 4. Environmental Chemical, 5. Aegis, 6. International American Products, 7. Erinys, 8. Fluor, 9. Perini, 10. URS Corporation,, 11. Parsons, 14. L3 Communications, 16. HSBC Bank, 17. Cummins, 18. MerchantBridge, 19. GlobalRisk Strategies, 20. ControlRisks, 21. CACI, 22. Bechtel, 23. Custer Battles, 24. Nour USA, 25. General Dynamics (Business Pundit - http://www.businesspundit.com) 


The top U.S. Contractors in Iraq and Afghanistan:


The top 10 U.S. Contractors in Iraq and Afghanistan are given as follows: Kellogg Brown & Root (Halliburton), Bechtel Group Inc, Perini Corp., Contrack International Inc., Fluor Corp., Washington Group Internationalm Research Triangle Institute, Louis Berger Group, American President Lines Ltd, Dell Marketing LP, Parsons Corp.  Creative Associates,  International , Inc. (=11.7  Billion Dollars),  Science Applications International, Bechtel Group Inc., Kellogg Brown & Root (Halliburton)-(Halliburton has been quick to show its gratitude to its Republican friends, earmarking 95 percent of its more than $708,000 in campaign donations from 1999 to 2002 to Republican candidates.)


The Carnally Group an American business collation that has funded most wars: 


History records that Henry Ford once stated that there are two classes of financiers: 1) Those who profit from war and use their influence to bring about war for profit, and 2) “constructive” financiers. Ford Motor Co., along with about 100 other major U.S. banks and corporations, belongs to the first group (see C. Higham’s Trading with the Enemy). Ford was actually decorated by the Nazis for his service to Nazism.

Moreover, many other prominent international banking families simultaneously bankrolled Hitler, Stalin, and Roosevelt during the first half of the 20th century includes the Rockefellers (Standard Oil Company, Chase Bank), the Rothschilds, the Schiffs, the Warburgs, and the Bushes, among others. These groups are the corporations that today are profiting from all American and other wars in the world. War is nothing but profit to these Greedy, amoral, criminals!

In World War I, Bush became chief of the Ordnance, Small Arms and Ammunition Section of the War Industries Board. In this capacity, he sold weapons made by manufacturers such as his own Remington Arms Company (a company he owned) to 75% of the WWI combatants on both sides

This is the enemy that the Occupy Wall Street is confronting. These wealthy industrials are the Classical Kings, Queens, Monarchs, and Tyrants of the past. That is why it is so difficult for the public to identify their oppressing enemy today. ” These financial powers had learned that war is the most profitable of all businesses and also the most effective means of changing the global political landscape.”  Their territory is the world and is not identified by geographic borders. (Dr. Eric Karlstrom, The Bush CrimeFamily:Four Generations of Wall Street War-Making and War-Profiteering, August,2004)

As Americans we shall never be really free unless we can purge our files of the lies of our existence and start to life in a world of reality. We must pull free of our past of propaganda of profit and live by our intended Constitutional Ideals!

THE LIST OF ISSURES WITH THE AMERICAN BUSINESS CONTINUES TO INCREASE-THE FRACK YOU SAY!!

THE LIST OF ISSURES WITH THE AMERICAN BUSINESS CONTINUES TO INCREASE-THE FRACK YOU SAY!!

(Unedited/Unabridged 2011)

Fracking is the serious threat that Americans are not being alerted to! What Does Fracking Mean? “A slang term for hydraulic fracturing or Fracking! Fracking refers to the procedure of creating fractures in rocks and rock formations by injecting fluid into cracks to force them further open. The larger fissures allow more oil and gas to flow out of the formation and into the wellbore, from where it can be extracted.” (Read more: http://www.investopedia.com/terms/f/fracking.asp#ixzz1fUfoyulL)


First, there is water Contamination from this Shale Gas Drilling. Drilling for the natural gas embedded in shale rock formations deep below the Earth’s surface, contaminates groundwater supplies. Landowners in shale gas drilling areas have reported foul smells in tap water, and toxic chemicals, such as benzene, arsenic, etc,, have been detected in water from wells near drilling sites. In some cases, tap water can even be set aflame because it is contaminated with volatile chemicals because of shale gas drilling. (Gas fracking - A new source of environmental pollution, August 12, 2011) Fracking poisons as arsenic has shown jup in America’s food chain! (Tom Philpott, Some Arsenic With That Supermarket Chicken?, Mother Jones,  Sat Jun. 11, 2011)



People in the fracking areas have reported that their live stock such as dogs, goats, chickens, cows, etc. have died from the arsenic that fracking has forced into the water table! (Barry Estabrook, Fracking with our food: how gas drilling affects farming, GRIST,  Children became sick and were hospitalized and were unable to go to school for as much as a year! An autopsy revealed arsenic in the animals. ,Childern were found to have arsenic in their blood. Their symptoms improved after they stopped drinking their tap water Further, Fracking poisons as arsenic has shown jup in America’s food chain!

Fracking is becoming a common method of natural gas extraction in shale formations throughout the U.S. including:

  • The Marcellus shale, which extends from New York State, though Pennsylvania and West Virginia, and into parts of Ohio, Maryland and Virginia;
  • the Haynesville-Bossier shale in Louisiana and Texas;
  • the Fayetteville shale in northern Arkansas and adjoining states;
  • the Barnett shale in Texas;
  • the Eagle Ford shale, in south Texas;
  • the Woodford shale, in Oklahoma and Texas.
  • The drinking water from from Pennsylvania contains large quanities of arsenic

Corporate America demonstrates again that the profit motive is more important then the health of the people!

THE TEA PARTY IS RULING THE DAY-THE BOTTOM FEEDERS ARE EATING THE BODY POLITIC!!


THE TEA PARTY IS RULING THE DAY-THE BOTTOM FEEDERS ARE EATING THE BODY POLITIC!!

(Unedited/Unabridged 2011)



What is our America coming to?? Today on TV “The Wall Street Protests” were called “A mob without objectives” and The Tea Party (TP) was called “A powerful legitimate movement with well defined objectives!” It seems that the mentally ill, intellectually Challenged, Racist, Sexist nar-do-well, bottom feeders are now true American standard and the well educated thoughtful elite are a group of low class citizens.

            It would be laughable if it were not for big wealth funds that have supported these TPers and pulled them from under the rock where they have rightfully been hiding. The objective of the wealthy is to destroy Government and establish “The Wealth of Capitalist” as the moral and powerful leader of the nation. These TPers are being used for reasons not yet discovered by this mob of dangerous mental Lilliputians!    

            This travesty of leadership has gone so far as to having a group led by The Tea Party conducting an American Constitution Revision Committee (Located at Harvard presently). The power of this mob has by some means gotten elected to Congress and is constantly denying the function of the whole American political process. Nothing seems to be able to be done unless the mental aberrations of the few Tea Partiers are not met. The basic process of doing the peoples business has come to a halt! This is like the retarded member of the family conducting all family business. The family no longer has the pleasure of ignoring these mental midgets and find themselves on a fast track to disaster. This past week the Tea Party reached into my persona life l and told me that not having a photo ID I could not dive nor vote. The shame is almost more than a man can bare!

            To avoid insulting this GOP mob, the whole GOP has to conduct its presidential campaign as a litany of childish slogans and dangerous rhetorical devise presentations. GOP candidates are saying, “Obama is a traitor, health care must be left to the individual (death is an American right, Mormons are not Christians, The whole nation has been forced to stop and provide some intelligent presentations to assure the public that intelligence still lives in the USA!

GOP SAYS SOME AMERICANS MUST NOT BE ABLE TO VOTE OR DRIVE AN AUTOMOBILE!!

GOP SAYS SOME AMERICANS MUST NOT BE ABLE TO VOTE OR DRIVE AN AUTOMOBILE!!
(Unedited/Unabridged 2011)

            In September 2011, while doing some business at my Credit Union I was informed that my drivers License had expired. I went in the web to The Loen County Tax Collectors to find out what it would take to get the license reinstated. I then called the Tax Collectors Office to verify the documentation I would need to get my License back. Both contracts informed me that I would need the expired license and three other identifying documents as Bank Statements, House Note, Utilities Bill, Auto Insurance Bill, etc.
            On October 7, 2001 I went to the Tax Collectors to reinstate my license. I was asked for my documentation for the transaction. I provided my Bank Statement, house note bill, utilities Bill, AAA card, Voting registration card, Auto registration, AARP Card, VISA Credit Card, Medicare Card, VISTA State Medical Insurance Card, etc. I was told that this was fine but now Satate and National Laws required me to have my “Birth Certificate or Passport and by the, way my voter registration was not valid until my photo identification on my Driver License was valid. It seems that not only was my driver’s license canceled but I Could not vote also.
            The Birth Certificate for an eighty year Old Black born in the South was nearly an impossibility to get. I was born in The Heart of Dixie, Alabama in the thirties. At that time no Blacks could go to a hospital for treatment or births. I was born on a kitchen table at my Grandmothers house. My name was placed in the family Bible and no birth certificate was filed, therefore, I cannot get a birth certificate.
            In addition when I went to register to vote in the forties I was given a literacy test in Chinese! After some great difficulty I did get my registeration to vote and have voted in every election sense the fifties, sixty years. I have had a Drivers License for some sixty years also. Now in 2011 I am denied drivers license and the right to vote because I have no valid Birth Certificate!! All of my identification is essentially null and void because of a birth certificate FROM Alabama. I am a non-person. I have attended eight universities and received three graduate degrees. I have been cleared “TOP Secret” by the federal government while working on projects for the Army, Air Force, and Navy. I have many Top Secret Patents and twenty or so publications in Chemical Journals. I have worked for forty-three years and contributed in the SS(Social Security) and I am presently retired for sixteen years with a pension from SS and The Florida Retirement System! I am an American.
A Pox on the GOP -a Pox on the Tea Party-a Pox on Karl Rove! Give me back my America!
            This will be the first time in sixty years that I have not been able to vote or drive! God how low can an American go in eighty years? Will the ministers of Grace and the Saints above help this poor old Darkie American man. Failing that, I appeal to a higher power, Reverend Al. Charpton, First Lady Michelle and President Obama, help me!!!

UNIVERSITIES-NATION BUILDING-ECONOMIC SALVATION: A GOOD INTELLIGENT COMBINATION FOR AMERICAN SURVIVAL!!(

UNIVERSITIES-NATION BUILDING-ECONOMIC SALVATION: A GOOD INTELLIGENT COMBINATION FOR AMERICAN SURVIVAL!!(WRITTEN 2011)(UNEDITED, UNABRIDGED)

There is nothing so silly & devastating as financial institutions that have made student loans and now threatening these college graduates for loan defaults. In addition, to add insult to injury, these loans have been sold at a discount to “Collection Agencies” that are harassing people for money that do not have and have no way to earn at this time. All this is taking place when there are no jobs available for American college graduates.

It seems that the government and universities must extend their programs into paid interimships to journeyman (One who has fully served an apprenticeship in a trade or craft and is a qualified worker in another's employ.
http://www.answers.com/topic/journeyman#ixzz1PRnLlb42)
and/or apprenticeships as a standard part of the curriculum. Both public and private journeymen and practitioners must be provided funds to pay these potential working Americans in building the infrastructure, law enforcement, renewable energy sources, psychological services, health and management, etc. This concept should extent to all degrees including but not limited to social, scientific, and management degrees. When working as a research chemist, the company reported that it took about $40 thousand dollars to condition even an “Ivy League Graduate” to be a functional chemist! This type of arrangement is not new. It has been used more frequently in the crafts industries. The old jokes still will ask, “How many electrician apprentice will it take to replace one electric light bulb?” The serious point here is the hands of the apprentice will in time gain the skills of the journeyman and a new or expanded industry can be born!

A commitment like this will serve to assist in bringing down this unemployment rates and develop new industries for some for profit making industry later. However, the specter of capitalism for profit must not interfere with the initial investments of pubic funds into a suffering economic system.

HERMAN CAIN PROVIDED A STARK/VIVID CONTRAST WHICH DEMONSTRATED JUST HOW SMALL MINDED THE OTHER GOP CANDIDATES FOR PRESIDENT ARE!

HERMAN CAIN PROVIDED A STARK/VIVID CONTRAST WHICH DEMONSTRATED JUST HOW SMALL MINDED THE OTHER GOP CANDIDATES FOR PRESIDENT ARE!

(Unedited/Unabridged 2011)

GOP candidate for president, Herman Cain, who happens to be a Black male, was voted number 1 in the debate on September 22, 2001!! (Herman Cain Considered Quitting 2012 Campaign Before Florida Straw Poll Win: Report, AP/The Huffington Post First Posted: 9/26/11) That is really significant seeing as how the GOP right wing Tea Party had their votes counted in the Cain column. (Cain Talks About Big Florida GOP Straw Poll Win, (Source: Mark Wilson/Getty Images) Hermain Cain at GOP Straw Poll September 26, 2011)  Flash, Cain did this exposure not to hurt the GOP. He was just trying to fulfill his role as the “Resident Uncle Tom”of the GOP group of Presidential cnadidates!!!


However as peculiar as these facts are it is even more remarkable if you consider that Herman Cain is solidly placed himself in the enemy camp of a group that has demonstrated that their base concepts contains a dislike for Blacks as a whole. But this even has demonstrated without a doubt the foolish way white males have shown their smallness in dealing with the important issues of the day. (Jon Wardjon.ward@huffingtonpost.comBecome a fan of this reporter, Rick Perry's Sudden Fall Due To Unforced Errors, Huffington Post, 9/23/2011) They have assumed that because of the public miss perception of their innate white male superiorly, they do not need to show the basic characteristic of intelligence by sticking to real major issues that are destroying our American Ideals, as we are working to achieve them! These white candidates use their time on camera to make petty points about divisive and small issues as, what is the real religion of man or which came first the chicken or the egg (e. g. These are the little Lilliputians ideas running around inside the vacuum of these white presidential candidates while taunting Creationism VS Evolution, Gay Frights, States Rights, Global warming denial, etc.) These are the Lilliputians little ideas running around inside these white presidential candidates while hunger, joblessness, death, poverty, and other needs go over the hill into the dark abbes.


Lies and deliberate miss information is the order of the day for the candidates. Getting out of debt by raising revenues/income is said to be a counter productive notion and the curtailing of human services are the intelligent way to go.


Any head of a house hold knows that if they are in debt the only way out is to increase their income.-and if they are poor or in declining Middle Class the consideration to cut out meals and medical care is the most repugnant choice to make! If the family had a provider who made income and placed it in a save place out side of the home and refused to used it when hard financial times required it, they would be considered a poor provider, mentally challenged and a questionable part of the family institution!


            This is how the American Capitalist Institution that provides for the needs of the nation is conducting their responsibilities. They have accumulated great wealth conducting business as the privileged of the nation and now refusing to use it to the good of the nation/family. They are traitors to the Nation just as a family bread winner would be and a traitor to a family while doing the same thing!


            This whole perception of superiority has created a group of citizens that feel they are not to be questioned regardless of how ridiculous their presentation may be.The ensuing lies, miss I information and convoluted reasoning has infected the citizens that in their information vacuum are looking to their leaders to provide truth and lightened. A large part of the public is so vulnerable that they can be moved to support/vote things that are obviously not in their best interest! This situation is a major factor in the dumbing down of a nation.


            Thus the GOP and Tea Party are having a hay day in promoting national non productive issues and concepts!


            Finally, other groups vying for leadership try to mold themselves in the image they see in the white male group. Thus, many Americans have the burden of digging themselves from under a amoral, greedy, lying, group labled “Politicians”, (a polite label given to cover the transgression of most of today's leaders)!

AMERICA AND THE WORLD HAS TO START DISABUSING CITIZENS OF THIS FALSE UNIVERSAL LAW OF CAPITALIM AND THE FREE MARKET!

Dear Sir or Madam:



AMERICA AND THE WORLD HAS TO START DISABUSING CITIZENS OF THIS FALSE UNIVERSAL LAW OF CAPITALIM AND THE FREE MARKET!

(Unedited/Unabridged 2011)




           

After centuries of selling through massive propaganda that there is a Universal Law called “Free Market” by which Capitalism is a basic part, the time has come to disabuse Americans and the world of this evil lie.   This so-called “Free market” law is said to be so perfect and powerful that it cannot be changed or improved by the regulations or actions of mortal man! The truth is there is no Natural Universal Law of “Free Market.” This notion has been firmly imbedded in the consciousness and sub consciousness of men by the placing it in all the institution of society’s rules, morays, beliefs, education curriculums, and even religious dogmas! In America, any citizen who talks against “Capitalism” is labeled a “Traitor!” (Gray and Glroux, THE DARK SIDE of American Capitalism; Centuries of Scandals and Corruption)

For example, corporations have invested billions of dollars in America’s University curriculum development to embed the understanding that Capitalism is the only good economic system. It has so co-opted the colleges of management and business that the subjects of ethnics and humanities have been made only a footnote in the requirement for a degree. (FSU Whores Out Its Econ Department To Billionaire Activist Koch Brothers, NewTimes,

Thus, we see that there is a common tendency for business leaders to accept collateral damage (human deaths) as an acceptable part of doing business of profit! In fact, the consumption of war of profit has made the need for war a For-Profit decision. America goes to war today mainly based on a profit motive. (Antony Barnett and Solomon Hughes, Bush ally set to profit from the war on terror, The Observer, 10 May 2003)

             In truth, and speaking simply, The Free Market System is the concoction of people such the Routhchilds that posses greedy, selfish, exploitive, criminal behavior to capture the power of the ownership of both real and material resources to benefit the wealthy few as seen in today’s national and international human activities (institutions)! It is a giant “Ponzy Scheme that has no punishable end because the population of fist time investors can never run out. And in addition, the mechanisms that make normal Ponzi Schemes punishable under man’s laws law has been co-opted and corrupted so as defy the precaution and punishment of these enemies to society!

            The correction of a false notion that “There is a Universal Natural Law of Free Market” can only be corrected by action just as deliberate and intense as that use to establish that Capitalism is the only acceptable economic system!

MADDOW (MSNBC) IS A NATIONAL TRESURE-AMERICAN MUST PROTECT HER!!!

MADDOW (MSNBC) IS A NATIONAL TRESURE-AMERICAN MUST PROTECT HER!!!

(Unedited/Unabridged 2011)



America must protect its “National Treasure,” Rachael Maddow!!

The Investigative Journalistic Presentations by Rachael Maddow, which was aired on 9/2/2011 entitled “Day of Destruction/Decade of War“ has topped all the critical Patriotic works to date! Maddow has provided the American Public an inept, truthful, comprehensive, accurate, revealing, “Spin-less”, record of the decision making, actions, decisions and in discursions of the reality of the wars with Iraq/terrorist and the violations of America’s Laws, Constitution, and common ethics that have made the US a less that Idealistic and respected nation.

This presentation of this war shows that there was corruption, crimes, extreme Profit making and breaking of the US image as a nation for all others to follow. The corruption extended right into the White House encompassing both the President and Vise President. Through the out-sourcing of supplying and execution of this war, it became the largest profiting making excessive in history. The Vice President executed" sole source" contracts with such Corporations as Black Water and Halliburton to supply and conduct all or part of the hostilities(business) in Iraq. War for America has become a purely Capitalist, “for profit enterprise” justified with the fear of a national threat to the safety and ideals of the US! It is a multi billion dollar a day expense to the American citizens

Even the justification for going to war has become by he efforts of the Bush-Cheney Administration, nothing more than a business decision! In addition, the civilized agreements such as provided in the “Geneva Convention,” that protected prisoners from the use of torture has become an enterprise that is relegated to the intensity of the classic medieval acts of the rack, thumb screws, Iron maiden, water boarding, etc and is now Childs play. Sadistic human behavior and action is now contracted by the US through corporations of The Military Industrial Complex! As if that is not enough, Cheney the Vice President was being provided a delayed stipend to grease these barbaric activities. These activities by The Bush-Cheney are nothing less than “Crimes Against Humanity” and just as serious as those of Germany in WWII!!

This Capitulation of War is War without passion, War without Ideals, War without Morals. It is the quintessential war of evil!

But this super excellent Investigative Journalistic Record by Maddow, has enlightened the American Public to the chagrin of the powerful “Military Industrial Complex” to the extend that they can and will use any means necessary to bring the voice(s) of exposure by this “Super American Treasure (Patriot)” to an end! Maddow needs and deserves the same type of protect that our Presidents deserve and get, at the least at times!!

Afghanistan Troops brought home-GOOD FOR THE NATION'S SPIRIT, BAD FOR THE NATIONS ECONOMY!!

Afghanistan Troops brought home-GOOD FOR THE NATION'S SPIRIT, BAD FOR THE NATIONS ECONOMY!!

(WRITTEN 2011)

(UNEDITED, UNABRIDGED)

          What if 200,000 Afghanistan Troops were brought home?? After a short lived celebration, American would see 200,000 ex-solders unemployed and manufactured war equipment would be pilling up for lack of consumption!! The Military Industrial Complex would fall into depression adding to the already difficult economic problem! America, a nation of human Ideals run on the power of the material consumption needed for “eternal wars” would roll over and stew in its own gravy. What a system!!! (Kirsten Gillibrand, To Push For An 'Aggressive Drawdown Of Combat Troops' From Afghanistan, aterkel@huffingtonpost.com: 05/24/11)

SOLUTION:

"Wall Street” would save the “profitable” war industry by, “packaging and out sourcing” to other nations individual solders or unites to other sovereign nations or private-for-profit military mercenaries organizations. This is capitalist solution to using as a commodity the 200,000 already trained men and produced materials for profit! Further, all presidents hereafter would not have to go to Congress to declare and conduct a war/military action no matter how insane it may be!

Erik Prince, Blackwater Founder, is getting ready to Broker American Military and materials preparing for the end of the Afghanistan war!! (Amy Goodman, Democracy Now! Posted on May 18, 2011) The competition will be mean and hard for the limited “Brokering” licenses that would be issued.



CONCLUSION:



This solution is the “Capitalist way.” They would either build more jails/prisons for those solders turned lawbreakers, looking for a way to make a living, manufacture special corrugated boxes for homes for the homeless down and out vets., or the just described using them as a commodity for sale! The better solution that of a good “Statesman” would be to redirect these military funds to develop better infrastructure and new industry that would grow into a profitable business someday! (i. e. TVA. Auto, industry recovery, new renewable energy. Etc.)

A CULTURE OF ACCEPTED COLLATERAL DAMAGE/HUMAN FATALITIES IN BUSINESS!!

A CULTURE OF ACCEPTED COLLATERAL DAMAGE/HUMAN FATALITIES IN BUSINESS!!


(WRITTEN 2011)

(UNEDITED, UNABRIDGED)





OIL COLLATERAL DAMAGE

How usual is it that we see regularly humans dying in the pursuit of doing a job! The resent disaster of BP in the Gulf Oil spill is but one of a litany of such deaths. When working in a chemical industry it is amazing to find that in the production of a compound the company plans for an acceptable expenditure for possible/probable deaths. If this expenditure is a small percentage of the expected profit the process goes forward with any consideration for improvement to diminish the deaths of the workers. (Oil Industry Deaths Common in U.S., National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, August 05, 2010)

In the mining industry (i. g. coal, gold, diamond, etc.) the coal workers are considered expendable and the coal reigns as king! The coal workers are trapped into accepting the dangers of under ground mining by the abject poverty under which their family has to live. It is reported that at the peak time (1805-1910) over 100,000 mine workers died world wide. It is possible to make this industry much more safe but the expenditure is far more than the deaths and suits of the dead workers. (Brenda Wilson, The Quiet Deaths Outside The Coal Mines)

In the oil industry, safety takes a back seat to the margin of profit if the safety feathers cost hurts changes the bottom line. The oil and gas industry is a real killer. Its fatality rate (30.0 per 100,000 workers) is eight times higher than the average rate for all American workers! Although the deaths in the oil industry are deliberately under reported, a total of 120 fatal work injuries occurred in the oil and gas extraction industry in 2008. (BETSY BLANEY, There has been blood: Death rate among oil workers alarmingly, Lubbock Avalanch-Journal, September 15, 2008) The three most frequent fatal events in 2008 were transportation incidents (41 percent), contact with objects and equipment (25 percent), and fires and explosions (15 percent). No deaths from long term poisoning were reported. The number of fatal work injuries associated with fires and explosions over the past five years ranged from 10 fatalities in 2007 to 21 fatalities in 2006. In 2008, there were 18 fatalities. However, its pay of suits for harm is less than one-hundredth of the profit of the industry! (Linda Keenan and Janine R. Wedel, Shadow Elite: Think BP's The Bad Guy? Think Bigger, Way Bigger, Huffman Post, Posted: May 13, 2010)

Agriculture could change the use of it’s poisons to save the health and lives of it’s workers but the changes would make a dent in it’s bottom line. Therefore, migrant workers are regularly sprayed with poisonous pesticides and herbicides that make them ill and affect the life span of them and their children. As a chemist you would recall the time wham barrels of livers and other organs would come to the lab for chemical residue analysis and they were not always organs of animals (human organs)! (Crystal Gammon, Weed-Whacking Herbicide Proves Deadly to Human Cells Environmental Health News, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, June 23, 2009)

As an important note it must be recalled that the Tobacco industry kills about 200,000 people per year!

All industries are guilty of participating in this “Culture of Acceptable Collateral Damage (deaths)” in doing business! As a matter of fact the American worker has been conditioned to expect and accept that they have to work in a job where their lives are in real danger. This conditioning has been spread to many other areas such as boxing, football, baseball, auto racing. Etc.. All this is enough to terrorize any citizen! This is place where government must step in and protect the population. Here again America has the wisdom and must find the well for the of, by, and for the people Constitution mandates.

PUBLIC PERSURDETION/PROPAGANDA FOR THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY OR GIVE THE SHEEP WHAT THEY NEED!!

PUBLIC PERSURDETION/PROPAGANDA FOR THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY OR GIVE THE SHEEP WHAT THEY NEED!!

(WRITTEN 2011)

(UNEDITED, UNABRIDGED)





SHEEP HERDING


There are to characteristic that makes Americans most vulnerable to being mislead-the tendency for Americans to worship at the feet of stupidity (Liz Langley, Is America's Love Affair with Stupidity Finally Over?, AlterNet, January 14, 2009, http://www.alternet.org/story/119283/) and) the demonstrated power for public propaganda and advertisement to establish belief in most anything. American businesses and political organization are daily demonstrating the ability to move the public’s beliefs on any issue no matter how impossible a reasoning mind can reject the premises! “Trust us We're Experts”, is the position of those that want to get people to move on an issue!

Experts in psychology and human sociology pulled together some compelling data describing the science of creating and shaping public opinion in America. They trace modern public influence back to the early part of the last century, highlighting the work of “The Father of Spin”. (The Father of Spin: Edward L. Bernays and the Birth of Public Relations, 1998, BY: Larry Tye). His amazing chronicle Propaganda ideas come from Sigmund Freud and applied to the emerging science of mass persuasion. The only difference was that instead of using these principles to uncover hidden themes in the human unconscious, the way Freudian psychology does, these same ideas were used to mask agendas and to create illusions that deceive and misrepresent, for marketing purposes. This is American’s burden in elections!

Here is a list of illusions that have cost billions and billions to conjure up. Did you ever wonder why you never see the President speaking publicly unless he is reading?

In America, conventional wisdom that has mass acceptance is usually contrived and paid by special interest. Why most people in this country think generally the same about most of the issues below?



Examples:



ü Americans have the best health in the world.

ü Milk is a good source of calcium.

ü You never outgrow your need for milk.

ü Vitamin C is ascorbic acid.

ü Aspirin prevents heart attacks.

ü Heart drugs improve the heart.

ü Back and neck pain are the only reasons for spinal adjustment.

ü No child can get into school without being vaccinated.

ü The FDA thoroughly tests all drugs before they go on the market.

ü Pharmaceuticals restore health

ü Vaccination brings immunity

ü The cure for cancer is just around the corner

ü Gays are breeding like and will tale over the world

ü Blacks are taking your jobs

ü Immigrants are taking your jobs

ü The Democrats and Obama has caused the crisis in America

ü Health Care is bankrupting the nation

ü Mexican American are free loaders and terrorist

ü Menopause is a disease condition

ü When a child is sick, he needs immediate antibiotics

ü When a child has a fever he needs Tylenol

ü Hospitals are safe and clean.

ü America has the best health care in the world.

ü Ear tubes are for the good of the child.

ü Estrogen drugs prevent osteoporosis after menopause.

ü Pediatricians are the most highly trained of al medical specialists.

ü The purpose of the health care industry is health.

ü HIV is the cause of AIDS.

ü AZT is the cure.

ü Back and neck pain are the only reason for spinal adjustment.

ü Pregnancy is a serious medical condition

ü Chemotherapy and radiation are effective cures for cancer

ü When your child is diagnosed with an ear infection, antibiotics should be given immediately 'just in case'

ü Without vaccines, infectious diseases will return

ü Fluoride in the city water protects your teeth

ü Flu shots prevent the flu.

ü Vaccines are thoroughly tested before being placed on the Mandated Schedule.

ü Doctors are certain that the benefits of vaccines far outweigh any possible risks.

ü There is a power shortage in California.

ü There is a meningitis epidemic in California.

ü The NASDAQ is a natural market controlled only by supply and demand.

ü Chronic pain is a natural consequence of aging.

ü Soy is your healthiest source of protein.

ü Insulin shots cure diabetes.

ü After we take out your gall bladder you can eat anything you want

ü Allergy medicine will cure allergies.





This is the start of the official season where Politician, and Special Interest will conduct the most intense propaganda campaigning the worlds has ever seen. The stakes are for the most powerful position of money and political the history of the world! The mind melting offerings will cover;

ü Capitalism is the most efficient form of economic Institutions

ü There is a natural Law of “Free Market” that controls the Institution of Capitalism

ü The ”Good Books” are the original words from “God!”

ü There is an absolute proof of God (however, there is no need to look for absolute proof where the question cannot be proven!)

ü The earth posse’s infinite resources for man!

ü Obama is not an American citizen

ü Tax relief for the wealthy will produce jobs

ü All taxes are bad

ü The Muslins are coming to destroy us

ü All handsome man and beautiful women are smart!

ü Columbus discovered America.



This election season will bring the most intense well-financed propaganda we have ever seen. The weasel words, half-truths, lies, convoluted reasoning; fear, emotion, etc will flood the public with what to believe. The only real way to cut through this maze is to look to such people as Maddow, CSPAN, Ed Schultz, and look for the sponsors of the ads you are reading. Please don’t miss Crist Matthews for truth. He is a Gorilla, a tiger, a lion, a Tyranasous Rex. He attacks lies head on!! There is no lier know to man that Matthews will not confront! The GOP has already raised about one billion as a starter for their campaign.

AMERICAN EDUCATION MOVE FROM RHYME TO REASONING!!

AMERICAN EDUCATION MOVE FROM RHYME TO REASONING!!


(WRITTEN 2011)

(UNEDITED, UNABRIDGED)



Tallahassee Education must be a leader in the move of students to those who can "reason" from those who can rhyme, recall information of memory only (i. e. Spelling and songs, You’re your celebrity Bees, etc) Spelling bees must be complimented or replaced with "Physics Bees, Math. Bees, Chemistry Bees, Biology Bees, Energy Bees, etc; subjects that require reasoning form point to point! If these Bees are started with the winner money high, there will be a fast interest in gaining the knowledge to compete (Who wants to be a Millionaire Egg Head!)

This will jump start the “reasoning resonance/revolution” in America!! This will make the America’s Education Plan work!

But, be thee aware, all the interest will be trying to silence you by ant means necessary! Truth in this world of demigods is a deadly sin to even the devil himself!

THE DANGEROUS NOTION OF RECALL OF ELECTED OFFICERS MAY NOT BE AN EVIL!!!

THE DANGEROUS NOTION OF RECALL OF ELECTED OFFICERS MAY NOT BE AN EVIL!!!

(WRITTEN 2011)

(UNEDITED, UNABRIDGED)

Never before in history has it been so critical to civilization as we know it, that a reset, redo, recall of Governmental “Representatives” mistake needs to be initiated. It is not the use of Nuclear Energy, as we know it, to generate power for the “engines of society.” Although this is a critical issue. The potential of a catastrophic accident that will alter the evolution of humankind and all other biological organism on this planet that is need of fixing.

It is the fact that for various reasons the most ignorant, bigoted, racist, sexist, biased, small minded, bottom feeders of society have been vaulted into the Congress of the most powerful nation in history! The nation and world had been tolerating these poor demented, sick citizens and giving them a "ke ke" and "tee hee" laugh in the privacy of our places while these Banshees of throwbacks are screeching and screaming in the shadows. But with the investment of “Wealth” into the coffers of the fringes of society they were vaulted into position that are making decisions that effect everything including the rights of individual women to conduct their personal lives as they see fit. (Michael Collins, The Crazies versus the Sleepwalkers - Big Budget Showdown on Thu, 04/07/2011) Today the world is watching business of the Congress of the US stalled by the Tea Partiers closing down the nation’s government over the issue of the right for women to choose or not to choose medical procedures for themselves. (Pat Garofalo, 11 Ways The Tea Party-Inspired Government Shutdown Will Hurt the Economy, Alternet, April 7, 2011). The power of women over their reproductive rights/decisions are trying to be legislated by people that are so ignorant that they do not really understand the comparative relative significance of the nations financial survives to 350 million citizens. They do not realize the US is in at least three wars with boys and girls risking their lives to provide them the freedom to be as ignorant as they want to be without punishment under the law. This is as silly as The Lilliputains going to war over which side their eggs are to be fried on!

This is the time that the movement of “Recall” of some elected is necessary! In Wisconsin, Florida, Ohio, Indiana, Texas, Arizona and Congress in general the act and action of “Recall” must be exercised with great energy! (Christopher Murray, Where are the recall prospects for Wisconsin Democrats the strongest?, the Examiner, 03/29/11) America cannot wait for the terms of these “Tea Party” types to run out before making moves to recall/remove them from office! The recall seems to be the answer whose time has come! (eHow Contributing Writer , How to Recall a U.S. Senator (Or Congressman) November 21, 2009 10:42:58 PM by Texas Fossil, “Senators have to find a balance between voting their conscience and voting as their constituents would like. If senators vote their conscience too heavily, constituents tend to get angry. When this happens, constituents may ask for a recall of their U.S. Senator”)
