I was just thinking . . . what if we could change the weather?  What if we could create droughts in other lands?  What if the crops failed for a year or two–would the farmers have any seeds left?

If the farmers had no seeds left, why not sell them our Super Seeds that would give a magnificent yield–if they also used our fertilizers?

But if the farmers agreed to buy the Super Seeds–would they be able to go back to saving some of their crop to be used as seed for next year? Hmmm, that wouldn’t do.  We’d want them to come back and buy more seeds from us next year, wouldn’t we?

No problem, the seeds from this year’s crop of Super Seed Hybrid Plants are no good for saving and planting.  And besides, the yields are so much better–can’t the farmers afford to buy our seeds and fertilizer now, and still come out ahead?

It’s a win-win situation for everyone!  Does this mean they’re hooked for life?

It’s a strategy that works for tobacco and drugs. We are entitled to make a profit, aren’t we?

What better place to try out our new products–in their countries they don’t have those bothersome regulations that prohibit such things!

No, no regulations at all.  And if we build factories and provide them jobs–wouldn’t they look the other way?

Yes, surely they’re desperate for the jobs.  And think how much money we could save by not having to deal with American regulations, unions, insurance, etc!

Or the expense of trying to comply with all the guidelines for disposing of chemicals . . .

We could really increase our bottom line!  That would make the investors happy!

And maybe a little extra for us besides.

But, if we cause droughts, won’t that cause famine and starvation?

No problem, it will help with the goal of population reduction!  Why do poor people want to have so many kids anyway?  And besides, who could prove it was us?  Even if they could, what could they do?

All sarcasm aside, such a scenario may or may not be possible.  But if you don’t think things like this are happening, involving American corporations, wherever the opportunity presents itself, then you are blissfully ignorant.

And if you are able to lay your head on your pillow at night and dream sweet dreams, then thank a veteran for being willing to go out and face the ugliness of life so that you can remain blissfully unaware.

And thank God that you had the good fortune of being born an American and living in the land of bliss–while it lasted.

Because, as a veteran these days can tell you, those who are plotting ‘terror’ against America started out, more often than not, as people like you and me who are  justifiably outraged at our corporate/government intrusion into their countries and exploitation of their people and circumstances.

When you look around and see the anger and frustration in America because these same tactics are now being used against the American people, understand that this has been going on for decades, in country after country around the world as we ‘spread our influence’ and increased our number of enemies.

A beehive is a pretty mellow place, until you stick your hand inside, to try and take their honey.  Don’t be surprised at the swarm of enemies that are seeking to retaliate against America.

(In no way do I advocate or condone what our enemies do–but I do understand why.  As for our corporations and government–I think what they do is inexcusable.  By the way, the scenario above is based on actual events.)

 

An Open Letter To Hillary Clinton

Every time I hear a commentary on illegal immigration and how the illegals ‘do the jobs that Americans won’t do’, I wait for the commentator to correct that view.  It never happens.

There was a time, when I was younger, that I wanted to find a job picking fruit (this was a way of life, every summer,  for my spouse’s family, when they were children).  However, we quickly found out that there were no jobs available because they were now filled by immigrants (definitely legals AND illegals).

I recently came across an article challenging the perception that Americans won’t do these jobs.  It provided a well-reasoned argument–and a perspective on the immigration debate that I wholeheartedly agree with, and think is not being addressed.  Here is the link:

Is It Time For The Unveiling?

Speaking Of Free Speech . . .

 

 

I am not a student of war. I don’t know the proper terminology, but I know what I see taking shape. I will describe it as best I can.

Russia and China are allied, and lately have been conducting joint military exercises. Russia has also conducted joint naval exercises with Venezuela and is presently working with Cuba to upgrade its military equipment.The Chinese subs that have recently been patrolling off our coasts could obviously be a hindrance to shipping traffic in the event of a war against the United States. And between Russia’s outposts of Cuba & Venezuela, the Gulf of Mexico could be blocked. It is probably safe to assume that the Chinese subs are capable of initiating an EMP (ElectroMagnetic Pulse) attack.

An EMP attack would destroy, in an instant, any unshielded electronic equipment within range. I would guess that means everything from a calculator to a jumbo jet–cell phones, computers, cars, digital thermostats, bank atms, gas pumps, cell phone towers, radio & tv broadcast equipment, etc. We would be without, transportation and communication. If it occurred in winter (which it almost certainly would), we would be without heat.

No means to get food, no heat, no news, no way to call for help, no way to contact family, stuck in place with no transportation and no idea of what’s going on. (How long will it take to realize that it isn’t an ‘ordinary’ blackout? Well–does your cell phone work? Does your calculator work? Does your car start?)

That is how the war would most likely begin–and because of the damage an EMP attack does, it could be years before all these electronic components could be replaced-if they were even available.

Chinese and Russian cyber attacks have mapped out our critical infrastructure and have left software in place that will allow them to seize control of our electrical power grid. Our water and sewage systems are also at risk. So, add to the above: no electricity, no water, and sewers backing up.

A cold, dark hell. For how long? Plenty long enough for what would come next.

Consider the present state of our military. Russia, who lost a protracted ‘war of attrition with Afghanistan’, now plays the part of ‘Brer Rabbit’ and concedes to let our military continue to exhaust its men and supplies in a location to which Russia controls evacuation and supply routes. Weary soldiers have served tour upon tour in some of the most desolate, extreme and spiritually oppressive locations on the face of the earth. And our blessed new leader (all hail) feels that this is an opportune time to begin disarming America by decreasing our military spending! If all that isn’t enough, figure in the constant pressure, here at home, to disarm the American people.

The first wave of invasion will be Russian, from the north. Alaska is just a skip and a jump from Russia. (As I understand it, the land is passable when the ground is frozen to a great enough depth, making winter the most attractive time of year for an incursion via Alaska.) The Russian tanks will roll in, cross Canada and flood the center of America. At the same time, Russian tanks in Venezuela will be moving to the North–and others will be moving into the Southeast via Cuba.

I’m sure there’s more. Our oil supplies can obviously be cut off in the Persian Gulf, but I think (until the real attack comes) that’s more likely to be a strategy to gain leverage over issues like permitting Iran and other Russian proxies to continue with their weapons programs.

Oh, did I forget to mention the new supersonic ‘Sizzler’ Russian antiship cruise missiles that can decimate a fleet of US aircraft carriers? Yeah, they’re passing those out to their friends too . . .

We are missing what is in plain sight!!

Start doing your own Google searches about these subjects. The warnings are out there, but we are falling apart in so many ways here at home, that we are nearly oblivious to the noose that is closing around us!

I was asked, by someone who was skeptical, ‘Why would Russia attack us?’. I don’t know. Do we have to have a reason first, to believe it could happen? My immediate response is-why wouldn’t they?

I guess it’s the old ‘glass half full or glass half empty’ conundrum. Some people look at things as being improbable unless there’s a good reason for them to happen, but I see things as probable unless there’s a good reason for them not to.

I can speculate as to why, or put myself in the place of a Russian or Chinese leader and see good reasons for it, but ‘why?’ is not really important to me. For me, the question is always ‘how?’

It’s important to remember-everyone is not like us. We all see the world differently. We all have different aspirations, different values. Just because we wouldn’t do something, doesn’t mean someone else wouldn’t see it as being a perfectly good option.

If you are a person who always has to know why, my reasons will probably seem lame, but here they are:

1. my intuition is telling me so
2. several people in Russia, at great personal risk, are trying to alert us to the coming danger
3. the Bible foretells it

Don’t get stuck at why!

USA, China, Russia and the New START  Treaty

No one can hold the title forever. One thing is certain–when you have something valuable, someone else will want to take it away.

As the American economy swirls down the drain and American society melts into chaos, powerful leaders of the shadow government (corporate/government/banking alliance whore) behind the Western World sit back and watch. But they have sown the seeds of their own destruction.

In the final chapter of their plan for world dominion, they have set in motion powerful forces to bring America to her knees. Once she is there, they plan to hold out a benevolent hand to lift her up. This is when they will put in place the capstone of their planned world government–or so they think.

They must be starting to panic a bit now. Once the forces of chaos are brought into play, no one can control them. They are beginning to find that their groomed and sponsored messiah is not beholden to them. For, along the way, he learned to despise them, and he formed alliances of his own. They are but a mere stepping stone on his way to power, and soon he will grind them to dust.

Their narcissism has deluded them. They sowed the seeds of contempt, rage, and revenge amongst many peoples of the world when they extended them the same ‘benevolent hand’ that they plan to extend to America.

They financially enslaved them by pitching great and wonderful projects to them that they could never afford to repay. Then they loaned them the funds, with many strings attached, and took charge of the implementation. They played to the greed of the leaders and conquered them, financially enslaved their people, and looted their natural resources. Out of this have risen rebel groups and leaders–often the dictators that later foment the most hatred towards America.

They have come to believe that they are the divinely appointed keepers of all mankind, and for years they have been constructing a global hierarchy with themselves at the top and everyone else subservient to them. But we do not all share their delusion and they have made enemies for themselves wherever they have gone.

Because America is the home of the multinational corporations, and the American government complicit in imposing their agenda, America has become the enemy. America, rightfully or not, has become the face of oppression for most of the world.

Most Americans, while unknowingly enjoying the spoils of the conquests, don’t have a clue what is going on. Or haven’t, until recently. Now that it has happened here (subprime mortgage crisis . . . ) America is waking up and beginning to tear at the flesh of the corporate/government/banking whore.

At the same time, because of HER vile deeds, international coalitions are forming against America. Fierce, vengeful, dictators have arisen in different countries, in defiance of her tyranny over them. They are drawing into their camp those from all over the world who have a grievance against her.

While she is drunk on the wine of her conquests and gorged on the delicacies of her plunder, her enemies are encircling her. They make their preparations and arm their outposts, gradually moving in on her.

As her economy crumbles and her people descend upon her, she rouses, but she is in a stupor and does not know which way to turn. Her enemies watch, and continue their stealthy approach. Famished, they lick their lips, creeping ever closer . . . mere feet away and undetected . . . in a moment, they will pounce upon her.
