- "Decider" G.W. Bush is calling for more warm
blood to spill on foreign lands, specifically Iraq (20,000 to 40,000
additional troops which will no doubt become the building blocks into Iran)
and as usual, having listened over time to all the government "doublespeak"
(translation = more lies) which seems to be the current Washington mode
of communication, understood only by combined political Neocon schemers
on both side of the isle, better known as "RepubliC[rats]", I
am totally confused. Here's why. From time to time we have read, or seen
on the evening "controlled" news (if one could call it news)
where our illegal "graduated tax dollars" which are robbed from
us here at home and purposely designed by communist factions to destroy
nations, especially America, are being spent by the billions on more sophisticated
and deadlier toys for the boys: Excerpt from Ten Planks Of Communist Manifesto;
2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.Misapplication of the 16th
Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, 1913, The Social Security Act of 1936.;
Joint House Resolution 192 of 1933; and various State "income"
taxes. We call it "paying your fair share".
-
- If we only look at the latest posted numbers of young
Americans slaughtered on the alter of weapons manufacturers and corporate
greed, which is unofficially 2983 souls as of 2006, that would be a cost
of 4474.5 gallons of American blood. This blood is going to be on
our collective hands, but even more so on the hands of those who without
any apparent conscience feed this monster of greed.
-
- The calculation is based on 6 quarts or 5.6 liters/human
being, or 6 qts / 4 qts = 1.5 gallons/person.
-
- blood, fluid pumped by the heart that circulates throughout
the body via the arteries, veins, and capillaries

- An adult male of average size normally has about 6 quarts
(5.6 liters) of blood.

-
- All types and configurations of "Smart Weapons
" have been developed to use in combat, ostensibly to reduce the number
of young impressionable souls needed to sacrifice on the alter of greed.
If America has these "Smart Weapons" then why is Bush, or any
of the Pentagon killers advocating a larger Mercenary (voluntary killers)
American force? I've even heard rumors recently that our "leaders"
(Bush in particular) may even solicit "foreign blood (bodies)"
to wage our wars. I can't begin to elucidate the inherent dangers in this
proposal. Think about "foreign nationals" potentially using arms
eventually against Americans in a NWO setting, Americans who have the right
to dissent, and might dissent on issues (if we still have such a right
in the near future). Foreign nationals would not hesitate to kill or incarcerate
Americans at the order of a traitorous president.
-
- It is long past time for American families to stop supplying
these war mongers in Washington our most precious asset, our children,
as poorly paid Mercenaries to spill their blood in the sands of a
country, any country, which hasn't even bothered Americans at all, or to
die for oil and/or Israel. If indeed America is attacked by some actual
(not politically contrived, or set up foreign enemy) I feel certain our
men and women would rise to the challenge, however, it is time to stop
being played for suckers and pawns in the hands of greedy politicians and
corporate rulers who drive the "corporate war machine." It is
time to stop allowing one man (or woman) to have the power to singularly
commit thousands of American kids to die at their discretion and without
Congressional oversight and approval. We (in America) are bordering on
a dictatorship, and this is frightening.
-
- When are we, as parents, grand parents, brothers, sisters,
husbands, wives, sons and daughters going to finally say no to supplying
the blood of our children to corporate money wars? War seems to have become
so "normal" that we Americans now look upon them as a necessary
part of life. We do body counts and then look no further. We disassociate
ourselves from the reality of the planned and organized wars, especially
if it cost us nothing, such as a family member, or we're making big bucks
working for the manufacturers of war goods. We don't (in most instances)
look at the whole sordid, cruel, destructive picture. We don't consider
the non dead, what could better be termed as the "living dead,"
the fortunate young men and women who are lucky enough to return home alive,
but with parts missing, most with severe psychological problems. When I
look at past wars and consider the dead and wounded Americans, plus all
of the millions of innocent civilians, I have to wonder; "what has
changed where we shed American blood?" "Who actually won the
war(s) when American tax dollars go to rebuild the destroyed and burned
out countries we destroyed?" "What is different in Viet Nam that
wouldn't be there had America not sacrificed over 500,000 lives on the
bloody alter of war?" We could ask the same questions about Japan
and Germany. A more realistic and graphic picture would be, 500,000 X 1.5
Gallons of blood/individual American, equals 750,000 gallons of precious
American blood laid waste in the jungles and rice paddies of Viet Nam alone.
I shudder to calculate the loss of blood during WW2.
-
- Maybe we should stop looking at "just" body
counts, this is too easily smoothed over by political war spin. We should
ask (besides losing our precious sons and daughters) what will 20,000 to
40,000 more bodies translate to in the possible loss of blood? If we only
consider the next 20,000 additional troops, that would be a potential of
30,000 gallons of precious blood to spill on the barren sands of a country
that has done the US absolutely no harm, and posed no foreseeable risk.
Each human being has six quarts, or 5.6 liters of blood coursing through
their body, so 6 quarts = 1.5 gallons X 20,000 additional souls equals
30,000 gallons of the most precious liquid on the planet to be placed at
risk.
-
- An interesting side note: We are told in Revelation that
the quantity of blood shed during the battle of Armageddon would be up
to the horses bridle (approximately 4 feet deep) and run for two hundred
miles. This boggles the imagination, and to think that we could be initiating
that at the present time.
-
- Revelation 14:20 And the winepress was trodden
without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse
bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.(Approximately
200 miles), that is a tremendous amount of dying and unimaginable blood
shed. Are we ready to set this horror in motion? Seems as though we are.
All the players are certainly in the picture. War becomes very real when
we translate lives into precious blood, along with the loss of loved ones.
-
- Personally, I would like to see Bush, Cheney and their
daughters in uniform and in the mix, then, and only then does he have the
moral right to sentence our young men and women to death on the field of
corporate greed. Of course I am not naive, it will be no different with
Hillary Clinton, or any other of the Neo-Con Israeli/NWO bought politicians
in Washington. I believe many Americans are awakening to the fact now that
America's prime duty as far as Washington is concerned is to serve Israel's
interest. Or it would certainly appear so when Israel seems to be behind
most or all of the Mideast trouble, if we can believe the news reports.
I say a resounding NO, not one more American child to shed blood for oil!
Teach Bush how to use a hand weapon, let him do it; he loves that macho
image so well. He has things in Iraq so screwed up America will be lucky
to get out without serious humiliation on a worldwide scale. There is an
old saying, the more one stirs dung the worse the smell. We need to stop
stirring it in Iraq. The sands are already soaked with the blood of our
sons and daughters, not counting the thousands of innocent Iraqis who are
still suffering and dying from being tortured, killed, outright murdered,
and subjected to DU. DU, the gift that keeps on giving and giving, killing
and maiming, in Iraq, back here at home in our military families, and around
the planet on our air currents.
-
- I still can't understand how America shifted from Osama
in Afghanistan to Saddam in Iraq when there was obviously no connection.
How Osama went from public enemy #1 to a non-issue figure, especially when G.W.
Bush declared him to be the evil behind 9/11 (almost instantly by
the way, very strange, almost as quickly as naming Lee Harvey Oswald as
the "evil one" in 1963). Are Americans super malleable or what?
This (invasion of Iraq) is one of the greatest political sleight of hand
tricks perpetrated on the American public in many years.
-
- Let me share with you how government thinks, and this
will shed some light on Bush's thinking(??). Read carefully and you'll
see I have a valid point. First, some background is necessary:
-
- When I was in the military we rotated to Germany as a
part of our over all mission to support our military fighters in Europe.
We performed what most Air Force types will know as "reflex duty."
One group of support refueling tankers (aircraft) from State side bases
would spend like seventeen days in their support rolls, sometimes more,
sometimes less, and then be relieved by another group from the States who
would then carry on the mission. The first thing we would do upon arriving
for duty was to get our aircraft in commission and refuel and service them
to be placed on alert status as promptly as possible. It was on one such
assignment that the government mentality became extremely clear to me,
as occurred in the following example:
-
- I was a Flight Engineer on these tankers and after arriving
on one mission in Germany I went straight to our base ops. I had to return
to my aircraft to retrieve something and noticed a crew servicing fuel
on one of our birds. Our specific aircraft had an eighty-five fuel capacity
with a fifteen percent expansion space in the tanks, and vent holes in
the fuselage for fumes to escape during servicing and expansion, as well
as for fuel over flow in the event of overfill, (I had to lay the ground
work for my point on government thinking, which always goes to excess on
anything), such as, if tight as you can turn it is good, then turn it one
more revolution.
-
- This ground crew was servicing fuel on this particular
aircraft as I mentioned, with a Technical Sergeant supervising. Fuel
is serviced with power on the aircraft and a ground power unit running,
this is SPR or single point refueling. I happened to notice as I approached
the aircraft that fuel was running from the under-wing fuselage vent onto
the parking ramp. I immediately shouted out to the Tech Sergeant that he
was pumping fuel onto the ramp, an extremely dangerous situation. So, what
would you expect a government type to do? Yep, the refueling supervisor
instead of stopping immediately, yelled to the fuel truck (POL) driver
to give him "more" pressure (think 20,000 40,000 more troops
here). I persuaded the guy to shut down operations immediately and notify
the fire department for a wash down truck and possible fire coverage. Once
things were under control, I asked the refueling supervisor why he had
called for "more" pressure instead of shutting down with a major
fuel spill? Here is where it gets good. His reply to me was, he had computed
the load he needed to put on the aircraft and hadn't reached his computed
amount yet, (again, think Iraq, if 140,000 can't fix the mess, send in
40,000 more), so he was determined to get his figured load on the aircraft,
never mind that he had made a serious mistake in calculating his load requirement
and had created a very dangerous situation, he wasn't going to be wrong
(can we see any similarities in Iraq here)?
-
- This is the same type of government/political thinking
I see in Iraq. Never mind that we should never have attacked them to begin
with, we're not going to be wrong even if we have to send one hundred million
souls there to shed blood and try to clean up our mess, like sending a
dollar to chase a dime. The most dangerous man on earth is the man who
will never admit he is wrong or made a mistake. It takes a real leader
to admit either or both. I say America should count her losses (which to
date are many) in Iraq and get out before we are in real serious trouble,
even bordering on Armageddon in that region. My primary fear is, those
idiots in Washington will continue to stir this deadly pot in the Mideast
until it actually does spill over into our towns and cities here at home.
Hate has a way of growing like a serious all consuming plague. And those
nuts in Washington actually are talking about "Hate Crimes" bills
to shut down free speech and the right of dissent there at home, when they
can't even control their own hatred for other nations and peoples? What
hypocrites. What a message to send to our youngsters, "0" tolerance
for hate here at home but open season on all non-Americans, open season
on the world.
-
- America! What a paradox. War and killing, America's most
loved and perfected art forms. We project more hatred, hostility, killing
and raw sex over our televisions, through our children's games, and via
our movie industry straight into our homes than probably any other nation,
yet we'll arrest and convict a four year old with a plastic water pistol,
or accidentally touching some teacher's butt as part of our so called
"O" violence policy, yet we are the righteous deliverers of morality
and democracy to the rest of the world, whether they want it or not. We
rule by confusion and fear. Just say STOP THE MADNESS!
