Capitalism" has used up so much "blood and treasure" that it's now turned to torture, narcotics and "religion" to keep the booty in the hands of the 1% "revolutionaries" born in the 20th century who STOLE 1000 years of civilized wealth building...
It's so obvious, they only know how to CONSUME it all up...4 billion want it ALL and homeland insecurity is feeding the GLOBAL PSYCHOS with "anti" lists as IF the "class" of USA citizens who ARE awake will be enough human sacrifice and they won't come after YOU next...uh huh...that 10% of wealth left is just for "operations" - it's also going to get sucked up into the grinder of "war" costs...
Sam: Is Jane G. organized and getting things done? Is it so amazing that a person with corporate funding travels the world making nice and giving the same tired medicine show? (She possesses conspicuous powerlessness because the things she values most are being destroyed.) Maybe you could supercede Goodall if you cared enough and tried your best. It takes enlightenment to recognize the same, and if you are not on your way that is a damn shame. Become one of that small group of determined visionaries. Don't let the Greedies make you ashamed.
The persons accountable for the "wars," conquests, of Iraq and Afghanistan are the authors and signatories of "The Project for the New American Century." They planned and carried out the attacks of 911 to initiate these two resource wars, to acquire oil in the middle east, and eventually in the Caspian sea region. About two hundred trillion dollars of oil are to be had in Iraq and more than that are at stake in future Caspian sea area reserves (source-Ian Masters radio show "Background Briefing" interviews with experts in the energy fields and foreign policy).
For what purpose and to what end is this war about ? A nation that is 80-90% illiterate and who's allegiances are to tribal leaders and has not had a strong central government in two hundred years and does not want one.
Our military leaders lack something in there education. They seem to live in a world of there own. I do not want to win there hearts or minds or want our children sacrificed on the alter of nation building. End it now !!!!
Amazing how GOP's NOW are interested in details. They didn't care about details or the truth when it came to WAR when Bush was recklessly and incompetently in charge. No exit strategy, no problem. A LIE as in YOU LIE - no problem.
The REAL lasting imprint that Bush made was starting a war in Iraq based off lies, thus, killing thousands of American soldiers - apparently this is not important to Bushwackers.
I am sure ALL GOP's, who supported Bush's corrupt war in Iraq, made their children join the military. Otherwise, I can't imagine how disappointed Bushwackers must be in their children who decided to go to college and not join the military.
If we are short of troops, thanks to Bush, a draft needs to get started. First ones drafted should be those who support Bush's corrupt war in Iraq which he started off lies. Second ones to be drafted are all family members of those who support Iraq. And those fore mentioned to be drafted need to head to the front lines, anything less would be inappropriate.
Bush, Cheney, Rice, Rumsfeld - Weapons of Mass Destruction, Weapons of Mass Destruction Well, where are the Weapons of Mass Destruction? You get ONE guess where the Weapons of Mass Destruction are NOT located. The basis for why we invaded Iraq yet there are NO Weapons of Mass Destruction, yet WE are still there. We got Weapons of Mass Destruction drilled into our heads by those idiots because of all the media coverage those idiots got. Biased liberal media coverage - You have got to be kidding! If Bush would have stayed focus on Afghanistan, the Taliban would not be terrorizing the world.
Bush pulled the majority of our troops out of Afghanistan and he stopped sending troops to Afghanistan-the forgotten REAL war- to start his corrupt war in Iraq which he LIED about, hence, CORRUPT war. And now that vile Cheney and some GOP's think Obama is endangering our troops! Unbelievable! How dumb can a man be? I'd rather see our troops alive and out of Iraq than any stupid 'win' title. In a civilized world, it should not be acceptable to start a war off lies!
For Bush to start a war in Iraq off lies and not be held accountable, furthermore then getting RE-elected after all his lies, corruption, and ever embarrassingly stupid speeches, is truly beyond comprehension and a warped sense of Patriotism. A true insult to the service of veterans especially the vets who never returned home.
Beecham cut 'n pasted, ""The answer is that the United States is an immoral country, with an immoral people and an immoral government. Americans no longer have a moral conscience. They have gone over to the Dark Side.""
There have NEVER been 7 BILLION human beings on this planet at one time clamouring for life maintenance. That's an "insect" number, imho, and, therefore, the instincts are insect-like with regards to life-maintenance...so what one philosopher may call "living by one's wits" to a scientist might be "witless living"...
I think what Mr. Moyers is doing here with this draft business is calling our nation's leaders bluff. It's as though we've been conducting these two wars with house money and that house money is running out. Soon we'll be having to pony up real money if we're going to continue using the military as our principle foreign policy arm. I'm not saying that those who have died in Iraq and Afghanistan are not real, they certainly are, but most Americans view these deaths as someone else's heartbreak. Mr. Moyers is suggesting that the country needs to put its money where its mouth is. The war in Afghanistan is vital to our interests? Okay, how vital? Is it worth putting your son or daughter on the table? If we all had to put our futures in the chip pile, if we all had a tangible, flesh and blood stake in the game, how vital would it seem then?
Anna D.: One of my most admired films is the historical tragedy "Burnt By the Sun" (1994 Mikhalkov) about Colonel Kotov. "Uncle Mitya" returns as Stalin's agent to arrest the charismatic Colonel for conspiracy (false charge).
When you listen to the fantastical malarchy and gilloughilly surrounding the Ft. Hood shootings and many other events you understand the method of first confusing "the audience" before instructing them what to think. The rivers in North America also run dark with pathogens, blood and feces too; and the airwaves/broadband mimic.
You called me a Teabagger, Anna. Quit emptying your chamberpot out Moyers' window. Grandpa disapproves your nastiness.
He may be my Grandpa too.
(The biggest laugh we ever get during these sad days at Figgers is when you call one of ours "politically correct.")
You would send our very best people -- our future poets, writers, and humanitarians, all of our best who are sensitive and don't believe in killing others for no good reason or who don't believe in war at all to their deaths by draft! You have lost your humanity! You, sir, are a disgrace.
To add to the truth you expressed, the affects of losing so many "writers, poets, humanitarians" etc. are already observable, aren't they? beginning with the millions killed in WWI and WWII (you almost don't want to drink the water from the rivers and lakes in EU, Russia, middle east and far east because of the centuries of blood and the disease that follows war).
My spouse and I think that Mr. Moyers' essay of October 30th was brilliant. I am in the process of forwarding it to my Arizona Congressional representatives who are clearly on record as being all for as much war as possible - the costs (financial, opportunity, and otherwise) be dam*ed. They have long ignored my requests that they pay (and not borrow to finance) for these military inquisitions. I've been without healthcare for over five years and they ignore my requests for help. They support people illegally entering this country through our southern border in order to keep businesses profitable while conveniently turning a blind eye to their oft-stated demands for border security.
Since the Carter-Brzenski decision on 07/03/79 to use Afghanistan to draw Russia into a Vietnam occupation, we have used the people of that country for our own personal pleasure in tweaking Russia and thereby terrorizing the local population one way or another for 30 years. So there is little question who the first governement supporting terrorists was in this case thereby inviting them into our country to return the favor of more innocent collateral damage. What is sauce for the goose is also sauce for the gander!
Mr. Moyers, I had hoped to hear you express remorse (or having had satirical intent) over your advocacy of innocent U.S. civilians being DRAFTED as cannon fodder for current U.S. imperialist wars. During your LBJ years, you were one of those past warmongers and clearly you have not fully enough felt remorse for the young men you and LBJ sent to unnecessary deaths in Vietnam. DEATHS, MR. MOYERS. YOU ARE ONE OF THOSE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR DEATHS. Your facility with language helped. Oh, yes, I am angry. I will never again trustingly recommend your show without caveat given your lack of caring about those who won't commit violence against others just because they need a job. You need to apologize for your past warmongering and for your pro-draft warmongering as well. WTF kind of an excuse is it to say so and so joined up because they needed a job!
