And What Do You Expect ?

Our country was founded on the genocide of native americans and stealing their land (including the use of blankets infected with smallpox) ...... (then there's the story of Hawaii but ....) something about "manifest destiny".

Founding Fathers (many of them slaveholders) talked about the "rights" of men and representative government (native americans apparently did not have rights).

Did you expect a country, founded in such a way, to produce a rational, fair and just society ?

We haven't fought a war that was necessary since WWII.

All others were fought because some govt yahoos decided that our "interests" were at stake.

The only problem is that our "interests" now apparently encompass the whole world and our "interests" take priority over the local's interests (sounds like a repeat of the native american story doesn't it?).

And who will resists these dastardly acts you say?

Go to a fast food restaurant and watch people eat the junk food.

As they consume the crap they stare off into space with a blank look on their faces ....... like a cow chewing its cud.

Cows do not care about such issues. Cows don't want to know what is going on. Cows don't know who their Congressmen are or perhaps even who the VP is.

Cows don't care if you take their money to save super-rich bankers or to give to Halliburtion or rip-off defense contractors.

Cows only want to eat and sleep and fuck and be entertained.

Perhaps if you take their food away or deny them their sleep or sex or their tv entertainment, they might emit a disturbed moo.

Those who act like cattle are subject to be viewed as such and slaughtered.

If your hopes are with the public, good luck with the beasts.

Most people do not know the magnitude or the seriousness or the evil they are dealing with ......

They really think that the only problems lie with our dysfunctional two-party system that can be fixed.

In reality, they are players on a stage controlled by international businessmen who owe allegiance to no country and would sacrifice the world itself to their greed for power and wealth.

The "Culling of the Herd" is upon us ...... the new "Swine Flu" is a genetically manufactured monster that has not yet had the impact it creators desired ...... influenza is most lethal against the old and the very young.

The 1918 bird influenza virus was the most lethal ever seen in the world with a 50% fatality rate ..... its victims often dying in a couple of days ...... drowning in their own fluids due to a hyper-immune response.

The US govt several years ago went up to Alaska and dug up the bodies of soldiers buried in the frozen tundra there who had died from this virus.

They recovered enough of the virus to replicate it ....... if you think this was done to use it for the benefit of humanity, you are an idiot.

Parts of this 1918 virus are in the new swine flu ..... since only the govt and their employers (the corporations) would have access to this virus, what does that tell you ????

See my Part 2 Post on particulars of the virus ....
