- The Middle Eastern CNN-type news agency, Al-Jazeera,
recently aired an audio tape of Osama bin Laden calling all Muslims to
rise up and defend their "brothers in Iraq." The timing of the
tape is impeccable. Both domestic and European critics had been complaining
that the U.S. is should only be attacking terrorists, not Saddam Hussein.
But now this wonderful tape appears, showing how Iraq and the Al Qaeda
are really one and the same.
-
- Not surprisingly on the same tape 'Osama' threatens Saudi
Arabia, his own country that furnished the majority of the 9-11 hijackers
and millions of dollars into his pockets. American support of the Saudi
government had been waning, but now, thanks to this tape persuading us
just how strong an enemy Saudi Arabia is to Osama, all Americans can now
believe the Saudis are on our side.
-
- This tape is far too convenient for the aims of the U.S.
government. Not one of the talking heads on the TV news channels have noticed
this. No one has said that there could be an Arab Rich Little out in the
weeds with a Sony tape recorder. Or even one in Langley.
-
- Speaking of the TV 'news,' none of them have offered
or asked for one bit of proof that OBL and/or Al Qaeda had anything to
do with the 9-11 attacks. I just haven't seen any actual evidence. Have
you?
-
- Immediately after 9-11 the airlines published the passenger
lists of all four crashed aircraft. Nowhere on them were the names of the
terrorists which the government released, strangely within mere hours of
the tragedy. More strange, several of the terrorists have since been discovered
to be still alive, well, and nowhere near the USA.
-
- Can anyone out there offer us any real proof that Al
Qaeda and Osama were responsible for 9-11? I've heard countless generalizations,
characterizations and commentary about Muslim "hatred for our way
of life," but is there any real evidence? I think we all know the
answer.
-
- Here's a question you'll never hear asked by the government-lap-dog
U.S. media: Who died and made us boss?
-
- What gives us the authority to go inside a foreign country
and forcibly remove its leader? We did this with Manuel Noriega in Panama.
Now we want to do it with Iraq. But what international law authorizes us
to do this? After all, we tell the People's Republic of China that they
better not set foot in Taiwan. And we sure objected to Japan expanding
into neighboring countries.
-
- How can a country that issued the Monroe Doctrine demand
at the threat of war that other nations not try to colonize or otherwise
influence countries in the western hemisphere, set itself above that rule?
-
- We still apply the Monroe Doctrine today, only we apply
it globally to every other nation but ourselves. Isn't this hypocritical?
Not only is it hypocritical, call it typical, typical because this nation
is ruled by hypocrites that make thousands of rules for us unwashed masses
but exempt themselves from them. Whoever says that, "No one is above
the law," has never read much about the U.S. Congress. One example
of hundreds is that Congress members don't pay into Social Security. How
much is taken by force out of your salary annually?
-
- Do you see Yale, Harvard and other Ivy League graduates
running to fill the ranks of the military forces now encircling Iraq? Sure
you do....
-
- Only poor kids are going to Iraq. We will tell them to
kill and maim other poor kids for all the rich ones who will not serve.
We will tell them to kill and maim other poor kids for all the rich fathers
who made fortunes exploiting their poor fathers.
-
- After the release of the Rich Little-Osama tape, polls
say that the majority of Americans now believe Iraq should be attacked
as a terrorist organization. Just one little tape and now we're going to
war with pride.
-
- Already the non-serving elites are reaping the benefits
of war. In one week alone, fuel oil prices for home heating went up 20%.
If I complain that more sick, elderly pensioners will freeze because they
cannot pay these increases, people will e-mail me that I'm "unpatriotic."
It seems that anyone who criticizes government nowadays is labeled unpatriotic.
-
- Like Abraham Lincoln, I expect our current president
to sign a bill tossing all critics in jail without due process. After all,
no one objected much when our government began throwing "terror suspects"
into prison, declaring that they have no constitutional rights whatsoever.
That's what happens when foolish people believe that the government can
grant and take away rights.
-
- Maybe someone will come up with another audio tape with
'Osama' saying how helpful are American citizens who criticize America.
Polls will quickly show that Al Qaeda sympathizers deserve no due process.
Polls will scream, "Hang 'em high!" Then the elites can redefine
a suspected government critic as an "unpatriotic terrorist-supporting
suspect," causing me and you to wind up in an isolation cell for years
without even one phone call out.
-
- Due process now belongs only to those who the U.S. government
allows.
-
- We did not speak up in defense of human rights for people
denied due process because a label was placed upon them by government.
That guarantees that no one will speak up for us when we are carted away
in the night. We know this because we have seen this all before, on Kristalnacht,
the night Jewish windows were broken throughout Germany by elite forces
that wound up limiting human rights for everyone but themselves.
-
- None of us can say that we had no fair warning.
