The Fundamentalist Threat

By Manuel Valenzuela

http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article8227.htm

03/10/05 "Information Clearing House" - - To live in Murka is to see
firsthand its degeneration into an emerging Christian theocracy, with
its collection of televangelists, cult leaders, mullahs and Taliban,
nothing more than corruption-filled, hypocrite-behaving, masterminds of
pervasive ignorance, false prophets and preachers drunk off the liquor
of fundamentalist thought misguiding tens of millions of lost souls
through the chalice of brainwashed and unenlightened thinking.

Commanding the attention of born again, salvation-seeking, messianic and
Armageddon-searching souls in need of finding their way past the fires
of hell and into the gates of heaven, these wolves dressed in sheep skin
embrace principles of extremist belief and fanatical dogma. The flock of
sheeple succumbing to the distortions, deceptions and delusions of their
dangerously unwise shepherd leaders follow blind, deaf and dumb,
disregarding all semblance of rational thought and analytical thinking
in their discarding of common sense and proven scientific fact.

Instead, mesmerized by the incantations of those they follow, eager to
buy lifetime supplies of snake oil being sold, captivated by the
charlatans speaking the tongues of fraud and deception, tens of millions
of Christian fundamentalists choose to place blind faith in make-believe
stories of fantasy, relying on the primitive myths of ancient and
unlearned tribal men and their archaic fables used to explain both the
world of yesteryear and their psychological fears and insecurities, of
no more significant use to modern humans today than the technology of
8,000 years ago.

In the land of Murka, the most prosperous and wealthy nation on Earth,
there exists the constant friction between the secular and the
religious, perpetually in battle over the minds of the masses. It is a
schism that is dividing a once-united populace, having become over the
years a most dangerous manifestation that is an enormous threat in 21st
century Murka, helping to shake the pillars of society itself and which,
in the end, will contribute to the forces imploding the nation from
within. This internal war between secular and religious belief only
continues to grow, their diametrically opposed views and goals further
distancing themselves, creating, in the next decade, a tug of war of
ideology whose winner will decide the future course of Murka. Either
Dark Ages will approach or secular progressiveness will continue.

In a land where one would expect abandonment of primitive and archaic
dogma as a result of greater socioeconomic integration, enlightened
investigation and advancement of both technology and knowledge, one
finds the opposite to be true. In order to maintain their subjects
hypnotized by the aura of supernatural myth, and by consequence under
the control of those who usurp the interpretations of religious dogma,
those living off the fruits of the sheeple maintain their subjects in
abject ignorance, forcefully demanding the absolute right to teach
youngsters in Murka's educational system fantasy written thousands of
years ago, choosing to indoctrinate youth to rudimentary and backwards
thought instead of the advanced evolutions of modern thinking.

In addition, they stridently seek the fusing relationship between church
and state, constantly seeking to impose their delusional beliefs on
secular citizens and on believers of other faiths. To them, Murka is and
always has been a Christian nation, failing to understand Murkan
history, the philosophies and beliefs of its Founding Fathers and the
changing evolution of its society. They fail to comprehend and practice
the teachings of the Christ they claim to worship, going against the
tenets of his meaning to mankind, conveniently forgetting his messages
of peace, love, compassion, acceptance and forgiveness.

Living under the fumes of fantasy, these Taliban seek to impose
Christian prayer in schools and other government functions, trying to
weave ever-closer the connection between church and state, desperately
clinging to the idea of a theocracy. They wish to exhibit the Ten
Commandments in public buildings, no matter how many times their kind
breaks many of these same tenets and no matter how hypocritical they are
in the behaviors they exhibit and the exhortations they proclaim.

Murkan Taliban wish to control a women’s right to her own body, and
hence her own decision making, thereby robbing her of freedoms and
rights finally granted after millennia of suffrage. They rabidly seek
the protection of pin size cell structure yet have no problem applauding
the death penalty or an Iraq war that has killed 100,000 innocent
civilians. They detest same sex partnerships, wishing to banish this
human form of love from contributing to a better world, seeing it as an
aberration and not a free choice and genetic predisposition. They would
rather endanger the lives of teenage youth, contributing to ruined
lives, venereal diseases, teenage pregnancy, divorce, the destruction of
a nuclear family and a vicious cycle of indigence and ignorance, than
abandoning their asinine belief of preaching abstinence as well as the
sin of using contraception to the most sexually driven age group known
to man, simply to appease fanatical views and extinct dogmatic belief.

Seeking this fraudulent form of teenage control and brainwashing in
public education, in an age group saturated with chemical changes,
hormonal firework explosions, psychological alterations, bodily
transformations and an increased attraction towards sex is so out of
tune with reality, with biological truth, with common sense, that it is
preposterous it is even being implemented. Self-defeating and dangerous,
this push to condition children is about control and retaining power
over the mind of blossoming independence.

One can no more succeed in stopping a frog from jumping or a dog from
barking any more than you can inhibit a teenager’s sexual libido.
Teenage sex is as old as humanity, a manifestation of biological urges
and evolutionary behaviors, molded by the hands of nature and our
inherent need to procreate, and to try putting a stop to it using
primitive dogma, issuing edicts that fail to embrace human truth,
instead of using pragmatism and educating children to its reality,
teaching protection and wisdom, is to see how out of tune with reality,
and with life in the 21st century, extremist fundamentalists truly are.

Indeed, they seem more worried about their own insecurities, fears,
stereotypes and in the private lives of people who will never cause them
harm than in helping billions of humans worldwide, just as Jesus asks
them to do, many of whom subsist on two dollars a day or less, many of
whom die of malnourishment, disease and misery. Yet their interests lie
in maintaining control, and thus power, over the dwindling supply of
sheeple still able to be shepherded in Murka than in pursuing true
religious convictions worldwide.

In order to maintain a dumbed down following, as well as to keep
free-thinking children in the flock, and under control, the false
preachers corrosive to human society demand the teaching in public
schools of ancient creationist fantasy along with the scientific realism
that is evolution. Fighting a perpetually losing battle with reality,
and evolution, and clinging to the hopes inherent in desperation, they
continuously repackage, remarket and relabel the fantasy of creationism
in hopes of sneaking their religious dogma into the public domain. Never
mind that the concept of “intelligent design” is nothing but
pseudo-science, completely discredited by the scientific community, a
desperate quasi-attempt to evolve a primitive fable into the modernity
of 21st century thought, knowing that the reality of evolution continues
to feast on and eat away at the carcass of an extinct idea worthy of the
cavemen that invented it.

The Falwell’s, Robertson’s and Graham’s of the land of Murka, along with
their clones, shills, hacks and lackeys, see more and more members of
the population escaping their detrimental grip and the trance-like
belief in the fundamental theology they inspire, and feel the very real
threat to the continued existence of their power and control. They see
the intrusion of secular thought, of logical, analytical and reasoned
minds penetrating and obliterating those segments of society once
reserved exclusively to the ancient domains of scripture and realize
that if not halted, if momentum is not shifted, the logical wisdom and
knowledge that comes with time will inevitably make their kind, and the
fantasy they believe in, an extinct reality.

They only need to take a peek at Europe to squirm at the thought of
their coming demise, and with it their control over vast segments of the
population. Yet they fail to realize that the world they inhabit no
longer resembles that of 8,000 years ago. It has progressed forward into
the 21st century, not back to the Stone Age or into medieval times, no
longer in need of the theology of primitive thought and archaic belief,
no longer needing the stories of agrarian imaginations to help explain
human complexity and the world we inhabit. Of course when living in
delusion one cannot but fail to see reality, preferring to dwell in the
treasure trove of fantasy rather than confronting the uncomfortable
abyss of reality.

It is therefore vitally important to these Murkan Taliban to establish,
as much as is presently possible, the parameters of a theocracy in the
land of Murka, making ignorant the children of today in order to
maintain present numbers tomorrow. Knowledge and wisdom are their enemy;
education and enlightenment their Satan, which is why they seek to
impose, at the risk of expediting the decline of empire and abandoning
the futures of our progeny, religious lunacy upon the children of the
country.

In their minds, the continued fusion of church and state must continue,
using the appointment of conservative theocrats to the benches of the
nation, the religious zealots in Congress and state legislatures,
government officials who can affect policy and members of school boards
to impose upon the peoples of Murka their Christian Taliban ideas of
theocracy. These false preachers are selfish creatures who would rather
implement policies that will endanger members of their flock than
subscribe to the notion that their coffers will dry up and their power
will be eroded. With the legions of political prostitutes masquerading
as leaders scattered throughout the hallways of power, many of which
have been recruited to join and further the interests of the
fundamentalist army of Armageddon-seeking sheeple, there exists the very
frightening possibility that they may succeed in augmenting their
already growing power.

At present they are emboldened; their power has never been greater,
their numbers are strong. Residing in the White House is a born again
Christian, conduit to the Almighty itself, doing the arduous work of the
Lord, holding the spear of war and shield of crusade. Since his
ascension as Emperor to the Christian Right and Dictator of Murka, the
war between the secular and the religious has increased. At no other
time has the distinction between church and state been so compromised,
and never has the struggle to keep both mutually exclusive been harder.
Under the bull manure of ‘moral values’ those seeking expanded power
onto the Christian Taliban have hijacked the nation, making millions
believe that their power is greater than it really is, in the process
silencing a great majority of the secular population. Yet they have
gained in strength and numbers, and have become a major threat to the
Land of Murka.

The weak minded capacity of the dictator who twice stole office aside,
the Establishment knows that with religious belief comes greater control
of the masses, clearly exemplified in the last three years of perpetual
war. With theological belief comes unenlightenment and ignorance, a
citizenry less likely to question authority and the decisions of
leaders. Emulating the herd mentality, extremist believers in the
metaphysical have been conditioned to place blind faith in leadership,
whether seen or invisible. They do as they are told, not as they want.
They are blind and so are told what to see; they are deaf and so are
told what to hear; they are mute and so are told what to say; they are
ignorant and so are told what and how to think.

Easier to control and manipulate, this group can be, at the push of a
button, at the showing of emotional video or the speech of a demagogue,
stirred into the frenzied lunacy of hatred or the violence-seeking,
blood-thirsty plague of vengeance. In time, and with enough propaganda
and brainwashed stimuli, this segment of the population, millions
strong, can be made to focus all attention and all animal emotion at a
chosen enemy, the scapegoat created by government and needed for the
perpetual wars necessary for the continued hegemony of the
Establishment. Through systematic precision, the Establishment can
manufacture enemies, new Pearl Harbors and the quick mobilization of
large segments of the population made to think and behave in accordance
with the wishes of those pulling the strings of a marionette
masquerading as a society.

Blindly following, never asking questions, naively believing everything
they are told, this group of Murkans is quickly molded into a
nationalistic, patriotic, religious and warmongering fervor, wishing
death upon innocents and made xenophobic racists conditioned to hate
anything alien. In their lunacy they seek the use of nuclear weapons
upon foreign lands, without regard to life. They seek the suffering of
untold civilians through ceaseless bombing and the sadistic torture of
human beings through disappearances and kidnappings. They hate because
they are told to hate; they detest because they are conditioned to
detest; they seek violence and unconditional death of innocence because
they blindly follow the words of hatred; they are filled with anger
because they suffer frustrations in their daily lives, repressed in
their employment, never being able to think for themselves, instead
incorporating the jingoistic and anger-filled tirades of fascist
commentators as their own.

Without empathy, without understanding and without humanity these
millions stand complicit, through their silent acquiescence and in
deriving sadistic pleasure in the misfortune of others, in war crimes
and crimes against humanity upon their fellow beings. Advocating
religious belief, proclaiming themselves seeds of Christ, believing
themselves good Christians, these lost energies turned hypocrites seek
the total annihilation of innocent life for simply being of different
color, ethnicity and religious belief. They champion their beliefs on
others yet fail to implement teachings into their own lives, breaking
sacred tenets in their Crusade of Rabid Hatred against concocted enemies
of the state.

These are the Murkan Sheeple, a grave and gathering threat facing the
nation, tens of millions strong, looking forward to the total
destruction of humankind, the fulfillment of prophesy (had the stories
of the Bible been written in Russia, would they care about the Middle
East? End Times would be sought in Siberia, not the Fertile Crescent),
becoming suicidal seekers of Armageddon, desperately seeking a Rapture
their kind have been waiting for every generation for the last 2000
years, only to be disappointed every lifetime that passes as fable never
delivers upon its promise. They are told to hate diversity, secularism,
heterogeneity, embrace everything Israel (in order to fulfill prophesy;
exploited severely by Zionists of all kinds), hate foreigners of dark
complexion and different religious belief, accept war against infidels
and violence against heathens, label as communist progressive secular
thinkers and loathe anything unorthodox not in tune to their – and their
false preachers’ – idea of a world that has long since passed them by.

Humanity Lost, the Human Animal Resurrected

The land of Murka is today an incarnation of an Evil Empire, a terrorist
state unleashing carnage and barbarity abroad and exploiting, with
callous indifference, its own citizens at home. It has bastardized human
rights, in essence stomping with its marching boots of “shock and awe”
the innocence of humanity, becoming an overgrown hypocrite moralizing
virtue but mandating criminality, no longer able to light the torch of
human rights or reprimand fellow abusers. It smears with the feces of
wickedness universal principles of human rights, in a mere matter of
three years unleashing, along with its thousands of tons of bombs and
missiles raining down from the skies, a devastating aura of human
suffering that has resulted in over 100,000 innocent deaths and
countless more injuries, maimings and forms of mental and psychological
devastation. A beacon of human rights and humanity has vanished from
Earth, becoming that which it most abhorred and fought to make extinct.

With the destruction of the Twin Towers on 9/11 Murkan humanity also
collapsed, disappearing into the massive white cloud of debris, lost in
perpetual purgatory, chained to the dark walls of the deepest reaches of
the human animal. The disintegration of true moral values quickly gave
light to the worst in the human condition, creating in the citizenry an
army of crusading hatreds, fears and anger. The armies of the Evil
Empire have destroyed an entire nation, with great success devastating
infrastructure, culture, government and the foundations of society
itself. They have made to suffer, in unquantifiable terms, and in
horrendous amounts, millions upon millions of human beings.

A military given free reign to decimate and destroy, without punishment
or moral leadership, allowed to unleash death upon the population of
Iraq, has in the span of two years perpetrated such massive war crimes
as to make the Nazi army proud. It has lost all sense of compassion,
understanding and humanism, instead brutalizing and dehumanizing a
citizenry of 25 million people. It has resurrected human wickedness,
becoming a reincarnation of all human malice that has come before.

As sadistic and as hate-filled as millions of their compatriots in the
Land of Murka, those soldiers illegally occupying foreign land have
killed without remorse, shooting joyfully at innocents, taking pleasure
in targeting women and children, much like the video games they play at
home. This army has wrongfully imprisoned thousands of Iraqis, treating
them inhumanely, overcrowding their cells, dehumanizing them with the
lessons learned from Israeli Defense Forces, barbarically torturing
many, sodomizing some, raping others and treating all with the cruelty
of occupiers thinking their conquered subjects sub-human creatures
unworthy of human sympathy.

Entire cities have been destroyed, with homes and infrastructure turned
to rubble; WMDs have been used, including napalm; mosques have been
obliterated, Iraqi religion spat on; Iraq’s – and the world’s – cultural
patrimony has been destroyed, including the relics of man’s first
civilizations and the ruins of Babylon; mass graves have sprouted in
clusters where non existed before, full of innocent men, women and
children, killed by Murkan soldiers; news reporters have been targeted
and assassinated, attempts have been made to shoot and murder those
possessing information the Murkan government does not want released;
young children throwing stones at tanks have been shot; Iraqi freedom
fighters, wounded and unarmed, have been shot point blank by sadistic,
trigger happy soldiers; hospitals and doctors have been targeted, bombed
and killed because they constitute “enemy propaganda”; thanks to
depleted uranium radiation festers throughout the land, penetrating
soil, water, air, vegetation and human bodies, with Iraq’s environment
now equivalent to 250,000 Nagasaki’s, promising to be infested with the
invisible poison for billions of years to come.

The army of Murka has embarked, with the tacit approval, and some would
say with the sadistic pleasure, of its Commander in Chief, on a
hurricane-like annihilation of Mesopotamia, killing hundreds of
thousands through weaponry, condemning scores more through the
purposeful disregard of infrastructure and basic services such as
electricity, sewage, clean water, healthcare and the providing of food,
which will in the end result in the deaths of more Iraqis than all the
bullets and bombs used by Murka’s military. Whether dying by bullets or
bombs or by the collective punishment of an entire nation, such as in
the complete destruction of infrastructure or the disregard of basic
services, Iraqis, especially the young, old and frail, will continue to
perish by the tens of thousands, dying of disease, malnourishment, lack
of medicine or from the sorrow of what George W. Bush has wrought onto
their land.

When one combines these present and future casualties with the million
and a half, including half a million children, that died at the hands of
economic genocide implemented by Murka in the form of sanctions during
the 1990’s, along with the silent mass murder of depleted uranium, the
ultimate WMD, that has already killed hundreds of thousands of Iraqis
through illness, cancers, disease and birth deformities, the world will
in the future recall what the Land of Murka unleashed upon Iraq as
nothing short than a systemic holocaust comparable to the worst crimes
of Nazi Germany.

It is not necessary to construct gas chambers, incinerators, gulags or
concentration camps to exterminate millions of human beings. We are
seeing this reality today in Iraq, in multiple forms, in degenerate
warfare, in countless acts of war crimes and crimes against humanity
being perpetrated by Murkan forces. In the end, millions have and will
die at the hands of the Land of Murka, some quicker than others, some in
silent placidness and some in terrible agony, some by bullets and bombs,
some by water-borne disease and malnourishment, some by radiation-filled
cancers, mutated deformities and destroyed immune systems. The seeds of
the Iraq Holocaust have been firmly planted in the now barren lands of
the Fertile Crescent.

Yet the Land of Murka, being the sole superpower, unable to be touched
by the peoples or nations of the world, dictating and trumping the laws
of humanity, never surrendering even in defeat, will erase these truths
from the history of the planet. Nobody will be tried in Nuremburg, no
one will hang for war crimes, no one will be brought to justice, for in
today’s world, those in power create reality, writing and revising
history to suit their needs. In the end, and much like the three million
southeast Asians who died in their own holocaust a few decades ago,
Iraqis and their stories of human wickedness reborn will disappear into
the abyss of nothingness, their silent cries going unheard, their truths
sequestered and their horrible suffering forgotten.

For Iraqis do not manage and operate Hollywood, the printed media or the
televised media, those great bastions of propaganda. They do not have as
advocates the gatekeepers of information, those who take it upon
themselves to inundate the memories of old Holocausts into the conscious
of humanity, monopolizing and exploiting its horrors to garner sympathy
or pity, using its evils as excuses to cleanse native peoples, occupy
lands, dehumanize populations, ignore resolutions, claim perpetual
victimhood, silence protest, intimidate criticism and further vested
interests at the expense of the rest of the world.

No, the lessons of history will go unlearned, new generations will never
be made privy to the evils of human malice, truth will be whitewashed
and glossed over and in the span of a few years or a decade or two the
same horror will befall mankind once again, for we never learn, we never
understand and we never care, giving birth to yet another holocaust like
those in Rwanda, Congo, Vietnam, Stalin’s Soviet Union, Mao’s China,
Cambodia, Indonesia, World War II Europe, Sudan and Yugoslavia.

The occupation of Iraq has been nothing short of a barbaric and savage
assault on humanity itself, resurrecting into the collective conscious
of mankind memories of those nations of yesteryear possessed with the
demons of human wickedness that launched the world entire straight into
the crosshairs of death, destruction, suffering and the devastating
onslaught of the human animal. The occupation of Iraq, much like the
pervasive occupation of Palestine, exhibits to the world, once again,
that the human animal is alive and well, living in maniacal leaders
sprouting the seeds of human wickedness among their subjects.

Indeed, what this decade’s war crimes and crimes against humanity show,
much like those of every decade throughout the globe, is that war
criminals have little problem mobilizing their populations into the arms
of fear, anger and hatred, nationalistic lunacy and religious fervor,
manifesting in the easily controlled masses – nothing more than violent
apes awaiting to be resuscitated from the black holes of depravity – a
hunger for violence, a thirst for vengeance and an indifferent disregard
for the suffering of innocent human beings that is nothing short of
barbaric and primitive. The human animal never changes, ending one
millennium with war, violence and destruction and commencing another
with worse of the same. Until we confront this truth, primitive we will
remain.

Once the right buttons are pushed, once new Pearl Harbors are
manufactured, the Establishment has little problem bringing out their
mobilized army of hypnotized primates, millions of citizens mutated by
fear, hatred and anger, conditioned into them by the same elite that
will begin exploiting their emotions, in short order bringing to the
surface the ever dangerous, never thinking, blood-thirsty and always
self-destructive human animal.

With millions of little Hitler’s rising together in unison, each
possessed by the demons of conditioned and manipulated hatred, anger and
fear, a mob-like mentality springs forward inside the psyche, thereby
allowing warmongers acting as leaders the flexibility to spawn unimpeded
and unquestioned policies to enact their malicious war crimes against
entire populations. The millions who have granted their leaders such
power prefer to be led into blindness and ignorance rather than being
confronted with the savagery and suffering taking place behind their
silent acquiescence, purposefully imposing on themselves deaf ears and
dumb minds to hide from their conscience the guilt of knowing the crimes
against humanity being perpetrated in their name.

It is better, it seems, to bask in the comfort and self-delusion of
ignorance than face the guilt of reality, preferring to remain living in
the façade of innocence than being confronted by all they validate by
their actions and words. For a war culture and a blood-thirsty
population, this is how granting mandates for mass murder and crimes
against humanity gets shielded by human psychology. Just ask Germans of
the 1930’s and 40’s.

In the invasions and subsequent occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan –
nothing short of chess moves on the geopolitical board game taken for
imperial hegemony, energy resource control and geostrategic maneuvering
hidden under the fantasy, for consumption of the masses, of now proven
lies of WMD, “fighting the terrorists” and bringing freedom and
democracy to tyrannical lands – the land of Murka has taken it upon
itself to contravene all laws of peaceful nations, waging preemptive and
aggressive offensive warfare on sovereign and non-threatening nations in
order to begin securing for itself, and the Establishment, the last
remaining vestiges of the primitive form of energy called oil. Welcome
to the Age of Resource Wars, a most ominous and dark period that will
soon befall humankind.

Land of Lies, Illusion and Rabbit Holes

In the daily atrocities and carnage being committed in Iraq the world
sees the degeneration of Murka and its society. With half the population
rabid in its hatred of Arabs and Muslims, full of xenophobic fears and
violence-laden thoughts, easily manipulated and conditioned, serving the
interests of power and control, one is witness to how low the Lands of
Murka have fallen since 9/11. Human rights no longer have meaning as
illegal wars of offensive aggression have been validated through the
vote of tens of millions, or the indifferent acquiescence of millions
more, who cared too little to help alter the course of the nation and
the world. As a result, the murderous rampage of Murkan soldiers, laying
waste to both land and man, has gone on without so much as a whimper
from the population.

With the re-election of George Bush, many will argue through his second
coup d’etat, though one cannot argue with the close to 60 million
citizens who voted for him, the war crimes leading to the death of
100,000 innocent Iraqis and 10,000 Afghanis were endorsed, granting the
war criminals in office a mandate to continue their reign of terror in
the Middle East. Through elections, uncontested appointments and silent
submission to crimes against humanity, torture has been given reason to
exist, making it, in the minds of millions of Murkans, the preferred way
to deal with Iraqi freedom fighters in Iraq and innocent Arabs and
Afghanis in Afghanistan and Guantanamo Bay, kidnapped and left to rot in
the many Bush gulags.

It has not seemed to bother Murkan society that the Iraq war was based
on lies and deceptions that have led to the murder of over one hundred
thousands people. Living in a state of perpetual amnesia, embracing all
forgetful principles of Alzheimer’s, the Murkan people quickly chose to
disregard an amalgam of lies and scandals that would have rocked to
pieces any other western nation and would have helped to bring down the
vast assortment of scoundrels lingering like flies on fecal matter in
the halls of power. Instead, using the remote control, Murkans change
the channels showing them the little reality made available, finding
instead escapist fiction or sensationalized gossip. Such is the mind of
the average Murkan.

Onwards the Murkan people continue, never looking back and seldom
looking forward, preferring to never remember and always forget.
Conveniently they overlook how their government clandestinely ships
their dead loved ones in transfer tubes under cover of darkness, placing
a media ban on coffins and funerals so as to better control the
psychological mood of the populace. It understands that images of dead
soldiers and flag draped coffins are a powerful and sobering reminder of
the horror of war, helping to mobilize the anti-war movement in Vietnam,
which helped put a stop to that wicked debacle. This the government
knows, which is why it lies and manipulates, hiding death, funerals,
mourning and anger away from the public.

Preferring to live in ignorance rather than confront the horrific truth,
the Murkan people have deluded themselves into believing the official
death count of Murkan soldiers, which presently hovers around 1,500 dead
and 10,000 wounded. In reality, as happened during Vietnam, the death
figures are being manipulated, deceiving the public as to the real
casualty numbers. Presently, the Department of War is implementing an
Enron-type accounting method that fails to count as dead those dying en
route to hospitals outside Iraq. If a soldier does not die inside Iraq,
but dies while evacuated abroad or once inside a hospital, say in
Germany, he is not counted among the official list. Also, many new
immigrants, mostly those from Mexico, have been recruited into the army
with the promise of a green card if they fight in Iraq. When these
soldiers are killed, since they are not Murkan citizens, their numbers
are not counted in the official list. Granted that these immigrant
soldiers are routinely sent directly into the front lines, so as to
limit the deaths of Murkan citizen soldiers, the implication arises that
many of these soldiers have died in combat but are not counted.

Finally, expunged from the lists of official casualties are Murkan
contract workers, mercenaries and private security that have been killed
while working for the Murkan military. Estimates, then, place the number
of dead Murkan soldiers at between 5,000 and 7,000, with more than
20,000 wounded. Add to this the untold thousands of Murkan soldiers that
will inevitably die in the next decade due to their exposure to depleted
uranium, not to mention the 11,000 that have already died of depleted
uranium exposure from the first Gulf War, and one can see the damage
done to our loved ones.

Seen in this light, the Murkan quagmire in Iraq takes on an entirely new
and horrific dimension, becoming not the rosy delusions of Bush but the
fields of carnage they in reality are. For the profit and wealth and
empowerment of the Establishment thousands of young and talented
soldiers have and will die, for a war based on lies and deceptions. Sent
to secure oil fields and geostrategic lands, sent to allow the robbery
of the national treasure and the pillage of Iraq’s finances, businesses
and resources, Murkan soldiers were thrown into a hornet’s nest of
anger, forced to battle resistance fighters waiting for a guerilla war
those in power must have clearly seen coming. These soldiers have been
sent to die for greed and the Almighty Dollar, representing to the
Establishment nothing but cannon fodder in a war of illegality, designed
to enrich a few miscreants in the military-industrial complex and
further aggrandize the power of the elite over the masses. This is what
Murkan soldiers are dying for; this is what they are being maimed over;
this is the reason so many are returning home mentally destroyed.

The truth is that the Iraq debacle represents what Murka and half its
population have become since 9/11. A war culture conditioned to the
drums of war needs enemies to fight, new Pearl Harbors to help mobilize,
scapegoats to profit from, and bogeymen to instill fear and insecurity
in the minds of the masses. It needs blind patriotism to function,
nationalistic tendencies to mobilize and distract, jingoism to unite and
vanish from public thought the corruption of the Establishment and
evildoers to spawn the hatred and xenophobia inherent in the human
condition that makes entire populations conduits of violence and easily
controlled and manipulated beings. Finally, new Pearl Harbors are needed
to thread the needle necessary to bring all of the above into fruition,
creating the veil binding the masses to their continued subjugation.

Without a constant battle of cowboys and Indians, of English and
Revolutionaries, of Communists and Murkans, of good versus evil, Arab
versus Christian and terrorists versus Bush, the Establishment cannot
convince the masses that wars, invasions, occupations and the subsequent
pilferage and profiteering of conquered land, resources and Murka’s
national treasure are necessary components of a concocted and bogus ‘war
on terror’ or its mutated and repackaged ‘war on tyranny.’ Already
$200,000,000,000.00 have been wasted in Iraq, with an additional
$100,000,000,000.00 already set aside for the continuing debacle that
has no end in sight. Additionally, the Defense budget continues to
skyrocket, going from $350,000,000,000.00 per year to 2005’s record sum
of $420,000,000,000.00. Each year the monies allocated to the military
industrial complex rise; each decade that passes results in the
voracious gorging of the Department of War to the detriment of all other
Murkan expenditures.

Also, billions of dollars have been appropriated for rebuilding Iraq’s
infrastructure destroyed by decades of Murkan imposed sanctions and
aggressive warfare, further enriching the elite, friends, profiteers and
crony capitalists close to the Administration. Nine billion dollars
($9,000,000,000.00) of this sum has simply vanished into thin air,
unaccounted for and lost, having become a casualty of war, though
probably safe and sound and well hidden in the Swiss bank accounts of
Republican lackeys and hacks that worked in Baghdad’s Green Zone and in
those accounts owned by Bush-friendly corporate executives and
profiteers. With so much money and power at stake, so much treasure to
plunder and wealth to accumulate, perpetual wars and perpetual enemies
make good business sense to the Establishment, courtesy of our taxes and
the blood of loved ones.

Without enemies, real or concocted, the Establishment cannot expand its
wealth and power. It cannot warm up the profitable assembly lines of its
machines of destruction and violence, spitting out from its conveyor
belts those weapons that will kill, maim and destroy. Profiting from
human death, suffering and destruction, the military-industrial complex,
with an ever-increasing budget allocated to it, needs perpetual war and
violence to continue expanding its mammoth hegemony. War, after all, is
the ultimate revenue-making business model that is guaranteed to
redistribute Murka’s treasure away from the people and towards the
elite. By destroying the infrastructure of a nation, the Establishment
assures itself of having to rebuild it back up again, using cronyism,
corruption, fraud, Enronesque accounting practices and Halliburton-style
robbery to further enrich itself at the expense of the masses.

Using up and exhausting its weapons of war, manufacturing new and
ever-more supplies, creating evolved technologies, flattening cities and
infrastructure, rebuilding once again using the businesses it owns,
taking possession of the oil industry and all its resources, having
Iraq’s industries, utilities and businesses privatized, buying and
carving them up, monopolizing the nation, exploiting Iraqi citizens
through lower wages, higher prices and the evisceration of social
programs, the elite of Murka assure themselves of the enormous bounty
created by war, occupation and the implementation of their neo-liberal
policies that continue to decimate scores of underdeveloped nations
throughout the world.

Meanwhile, in the Land of Murka the population goes about its daily
lives, amnesia guiding its short-term memory, its attention span
converged on the celebrity trial of the week, diverting its attention
away from disasters at home and abroad. Fed a steady diet of bread and
circus, enthralled by the latest Michael Jackson story or celebrity
gossip headline, millions continue gorging on the intravenous feeding
tube called denial, becoming so out of tune with the rest of the world’s
opinion and reality that rabbit holes continue to sprout everywhere,
sending the Land of Murka into a wonderland of delusion, manipulation
and fantasy.

Today’s lone superpower is dangerously falling down a slippery slope of
perilous undertakings, dumbing down its population, creating, with each
new generation, an army of worker bees and soldier ants not capable of
rational and analytical thought. Millions of unenlightened drones are
now the rule rather than the exception. They now allow state-sponsored
terrorism in their name. War crimes are ignored, as are gross violations
of human rights. Voluntarily and without protest or debate they are
giving up their civil rights and freedoms. Democracy has vanished before
their unknowing eyes. Murka has become an Evil Empire, hated by the
world and detested by billions, yet those residing inside the belly of
the beast seem not to care, not bothering, not understanding and not
giving a damn. It is this hubris that will in the coming decades cause
Murka to implode from within.

Recovering America’s Imprisoned Energy

The Land of Murka is a wonderful spectacle of heterogeneous synergy, a
land of impeccable beauty and multi-talented humans. Tens of millions of
its citizens are honorable, good and decent people striving for the
highest integrity and virtues, seeking life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness. The greatness of humanity exists in abundance in this
country, waiting for the world to see. Millions possess the
intelligence, wisdom, talent and ability to move the nation forward into
stratospheres of greatness.

Yet an entire nation is being led astray, hijacked by greed,
unenlightenment and the forces of the Almighty Dollar. We are being
sodomized by the cross and buried alive with the red, white and blue,
allowing ourselves to be gang raped by miscreants in power. Murka is a
nation currently lost in the netherworld of amnesia (remember Enron,
Halliburton?), sickened by a plague of Alzheimer’s, possessing the
attention span of a gnat, the wisdom and IQ of a shoe, gleefully handing
over our civil rights and freedoms, becoming submissive fatalists to
corruption, rotting with fascist momentum, infested with the maggots and
leaches consuming us from inside. Tens of millions residing inside the
belly of the beast have been sucked into the fog of schizophrenia and
paranoia, allowing their frightened and stressed out minds to yield to
frustrated angers and exploited hatreds. Without a doubt, the
Establishment and the corrupt lackeys it owns are ruining a great people
and majestic nation.

We deserve better than what we presently have. If the People do not rise
the land entire will eventually fall, flattened by powers too strong for
a small cluster of dissent to fight alone. Great potential lies within
our shores, yet it is crushed and exploited, made submissive and
manipulated to the dictates of power, turning many into seekers of war
and violence. The many are made subservient to the few who use a vast
array of tools to control and divide us. From our hypnotized slumber we
must wake before all that has been gained is lost. There is still time
for the Land of Murka to once again become America, yet this window of
opportunity is passing us by.

Let us, then, recover our great energy that once transcended oceans and
borders and cultures and differences, making this land the bastion of
goodness and humanism. Let us become the shining example of all this is
good with mankind, once more lighting the beacon of greatness that has
been extinguished by the veil enveloping our land. Let us once more be
Americans, for we are the world just as much as she is us. Let us rejoin
the peoples of the world, embracing the fraternity of nations, educating
our progeny, enlightening our population and learning how to lead not as
an empire, but as one global village, through wisdom, reason and a
humbleness that will make our children stand proud to live in the land
we once knew to exist. This legacy we must leave our future, not the one
we are presently embarking on.

Let us purge alternate worlds and parallel universes from our lands,
making extinct the sickness that has plagued us for years. We are the
solution, not the problem, and inside each of us is the energy that has
been imprisoned inside the dungeons of the human animal. It is time to
make it free, allowing it to fly unhindered through the zenith of
renaissance, granting it the freedom to change the direction this
country has taken, giving it life to fill dark skies with enlightenment.
The key to unhinging the locks holding back America lies within us, one
and all. Searching deep inside we will find this catalyst for change,
and what we decide to do with it then could very well alter history as
we know it.

'Realism is seductive because once you have accepted the reasonable
notion that you should base your actions on reality, you are too often
led to accept, without much questioning, someone else's version of what
that reality is. It is a crucial act of independent thinking to be
skeptical of someone else's description of reality.'-
