THERE have been nine wars and almost 130 violent conflicts across
the world this year, according to an annual report released on Monday
December 15th by the Heidelberg Institute for International Conflict
Research, a think-tank. The study classifies conflict broadly to include
peaceful disputes over politics or borders (low intensity), as well as
those involving sporadic or constant violence (medium or high
intensity). In 2008 previously non-violent conflicts escalated into
violence in countries such as Kenya and Yemen. Ideological change is
both the most common cause of conflict and the root of most wars, but
there is rarely only one cause of dispute http://www.economist.com/node/12758508<br />

<h3>
The Law of War and Peace (1625)</h3>
<h4>
by Hugo Grotius</h4>
<center>
BOOK 2, CHAPTER 22<br /><b>On Unjust Causes Of Wars</b></center>
<div align="justify">
<b>I. <i>The distinction between justifiable and persuasive causes is explained</i></b>.<br />
1.
We said above, when we set out to treat the causes of wars that some
were justifiable, others persuasive. Polybius, who was the first to
observe this distinction, calls the former ‘pretexts,’ because they are
wont to be openly alleged (Livy sometimes employs the term ‘claim ‘),
and the latter by the name of the class, ’causes.’<br />
2. Thus in
the war of Alexander against Darius the ‘pretext’ was the avenging of
the injuries which the Persians had inflicted upon the Greeks, while the
’cause’ was the desire for renown, empire, and riches, to which was
added a great expectation of an easy victory arising from the
expeditions of Xenophon and Agesilaus. The ‘pretext’ of the Second Punic
War was the dispute over Saguntum, but the cause was the anger of the
Carthaginians at the agreements which the Romans had extorted from them
in times of adversity, and the encouragement which they derived from
their successes in Spain, as was observed by Polybius. Likewise
Thucydides thinks that the true cause of the Peloponnesian War was the
power of Athens, which was on the increase and was regarded with
suspicion by the Lacedaemonians, but that the pretext was the dispute
over Corcyra, that over Potidaea, and other points of difference; in
this, however, he confuses the terms ’cause’ and ‘pretext.”<br />
The
same distinction appears in the speech of the Campanians to the Romans,
when they said that they fought against the Samnites nominally on behalf
of the Sidicini, but in reality for themselves; because they saw that
when the Sidicini had been consumed the conflagration would spread to
them. Livy records also that Antiochus made war upon the Romans alleging
as his reasons the execution of Barcillas and some other occurrences,
but really because he had conceived great hopes of success from the
decline in Roman discipline. In like manner Plutarch observes that
Cicero incorrectly taunted Antony with being the cause of the civil war,
since Caesar, having already decided upon war, merely found in Antony
his pretext.’<br />
<b>II. <i>Wars which lack causes of either sort are wars of savages</i></b>.<br />
There
are some who rush into war without a cause of either sort, led, as
Tacitus says, by the desire of incurring danger for its own sake. But
the offence of these men is more than human; Aristotle calls it ‘the
savagery of wild beasts.’ Concerning such persons Seneca wrote: ‘I can
say that this is not cruelty, but ferocity,’ which delights in savagery.
We can call it madness; for there are various sorts of madness, and
none is more unmistakable than that which turns to the slaughter and
butchery of men.’<br />
Altogether similar to this expression of opinion
is that of Aristotle, in the last book of the Nicomachean Ethics: ‘For
anyone would seem to be absolutely murderous if he should make enemies
of his friends in order that there might be fighting and bloodshed.’
Said Dio of Prusa: ‘To wage war and to fight without a pretext, what
else is this than utter madness and a craving for evils arising
therefrom?’ The same idea is expressed by Seneca in his fourth Letter:
‘No one proceeds to shed human blood for its own sake, or at any rate
only few do so.’<br />
<b>III. <i>Wars which have persuasive but not justifying causes are wars of robbers</i></b>.<br />
1. In most cases those who go to war have persuasive causes, either
with or without justifiable causes. There are some indeed who clearly
ignore justifiable causes. To these we may apply the dictum uttered by
the Roman jurists, that the man is a robber who, when asked the origin
of his possession, adduces none other than the fact of possession.’<br />
With
regard to those who advocate war Aristotle says: ‘Do they oftentimes
give no thought to the injustice of enslaving neighbors and those who
have done no wrong? ‘<br />
2. Such a one was Brennus, who was wont to
say that all things belonged to the stronger. Such, in the view of
Silius Italicus, was Hannibal, for whom<br />
<ul><ul>The sword<br />The place of treaties and of justice took.</ul>
</ul>
Such was Attila, and such were those whose lips are made to say:<br />
<ul><ul>The issue of the war and not its cause<br />We seek;</ul>
</ul>
again<br />
<ul><ul>Guilt will be his who in this battle fails;</ul>
</ul>
and<br />
<ul><ul>When fortune’s at its height, strength is the same as right.</ul>
</ul>
To
these you may fitly apply the saying of Augustine: ‘To make war upon
our neighbors, and thence to advance against others, and from the mere
lust of ruling to crush peoples who have not troubled us, what must we
call this but wholesale robbery?’ Of wars of this type Velleius says:
‘They are wars entered upon for no good reasons, but for the gain they
bring.’ In the first book of Cicero, On Duties, we read: ‘That
exaltation of spirit seen in times of danger and toil, if it is devoid
of justice, not only has in it no quality of virtue, but rather is a
manifestation of a brutality that is hardened to all human feeling.’
Andronicus of Rhodes declared: ‘Those who, for the sake of great gains,
take things whence they should not, are called wicked, impious and
unjust. In this class are tyrants,’ and those who lay waste cities.’<br />
<b>IV. <i>There are certain causes which present a false appearance of justice</i></b>.<br />
Others
allege causes which they claim to be justifiable, but which, when
examined in the light of right reason, are found to be unjust. In such
cases, as Livy says, it is clear that a decision based not on right but
on violence is sought. Very many kings, says Plutarch, make use of the
two terms, peace and war, as if they were coins, to obtain not what is
right but what is advantageous.<br />
Now causes which are unjust may,
up to a certain point, be recognized from the foregoing discussion of
just causes. What is straight is in fact a guide to what is crooked. For
the sake of clearness, however, we proceed to mention the principal
kinds of unjust causes.<br />
<b>V. <i>Such a cause is the fear of something uncertain</i></b>.<br />
1. We have said above that fear with respect to a neighboring power
is not a sufficient cause. For in order that a self-defense may be
lawful it must be necessary; and it is not necessary unless we are
certain, not only regarding the power of our neighbor, but also
regarding his intention; the degree of certainty required is that which
is accepted in morals.<br />
2. Wherefore we can in no wise approve
the view of those who declare that it is a just cause of war when a
neighbor who is restrained by no agreement builds a fortress on his own
soil, or some other fortification which may some day cause us harm.
Against the fears which arise from such actions we must resort to
counter-fortifications on our own land and other similar remedies, but
not to force of arms. The wars of the Romans against Philip of Macedon,
and of Lysimachus against Demetrius, were, therefore, unjust, unless
there was some other cause for them.<br />
I am greatly pleased with
what Tacitus says of the Chauci: ‘The noblest people of the Germans, who
choose to defend their greatness by justice alone, without greed,
without lawlessness. They are peaceful and retiring. They provoke no
wars; they do not ravage with plunderings and brigandage. This is the
outstanding evidence of their worth and power, that their position of
superiority has not been attained by wrongful means. Yet all have arms
in readiness, and, if the situation demands, they provide an army. They
have great numbers of men and horses, and their reputation remains the
same even though they are at peace.’<br />
<b>VI. <i>Another such cause is advantage apart from necessity</i></b>.<br />
Advantage does not confer the same right as necessity.<br />
<b>VII. <i>A
cause of war presenting the appearance of justice is the refusal of
marriage, when there is a great abundance of marriageable women</i></b>.<br />
So,
when there is abundant opportunity for marriage, a refusal of marriage
cannot furnish a cause for war; although in former times Hercules seized
upon such a cause against Eurytus, and Darius’ against the Scythians.<br />
<b>VIII. <i>Such a cause, again, is the desire for richer land</i></b>.<br />
The
desire to change abode, in order that by abandoning swamps and
wildernesses a more fruitful soil may be acquired, does not afford a
just cause for war. Tacitus says that this was a cause of warfare among
the ancient Germans.<br />
<b>IX. <i>Such a cause is also the discovery of things previously taken over by others</i></b>.<br />
Equally
shameless is it to claim for oneself by right of discovery what is held
by another, even though the occupant may be ‘wicked, may hold wrong
views about God, or may be dull of wit. For discovery applies to those
things which belong to no one.<br />
<b>X. <i>What course is to be followed if the previous occupants are insane</i></b>.<br />
1.
For the exercise of ownership neither moral nor religious virtue, nor
intellectual excellence, is a requirement; except that the view seems
defensible that, if there exist any peoples wholly deprived of the use
of reason, these cannot have ownership, but merely for charity’s sake
there is due to them what is necessary to maintain life. What we have
said elsewhere regarding the maintenance of ownership, which universal
common law guarantees on behalf of minors and insane persons, applies to
those peoples with whom there exists an interchange of agreements; but
such are not peoples absolutely deprived of reason, if any of this sort
are to be found, which I very much doubt.<br />
2. The Greeks were,
therefore, wrong in saying that the barbarians were their enemies as it
were by nature, because of their differences in customs, perhaps also
because the barbarians seemed to be inferior to them in intellect.
However, to what extent ownership may be taken away because of vicious
crimes, which offend against both nature and human society, is another
question, which we just now discussed when dealing with the right of
punishments.<br />
<b>XI. <i>On unjust cause of war is the desire for freedom among a subject people</i></b>.<br />
Liberty,
whether of individuals or of states, that is ‘autonomy,’ cannot give
the right to war, just as if by nature and at all times liberty was
adapted to all persons.’ For when liberty is said to be an attribute by
nature of men and of peoples this must be understood of the law of
nature which precedes all human conditions, and of liberty ‘by
exemption,’ not of that which is ‘by opposition'; that is to say, that
by nature no one is a slave, but not that man has the right never to
enter slavery, for in that sense no one is free.<br />
Here applies the
saying of Albutius: ‘No one is born free, no one a slave; it is after
birth that fortune has imposed these distinctions upon individuals.’
Also that of Aristotle: ‘By law, one man is a slave and another free.’
Wherefore those who from a lawful cause have come into personal or
political slavery ought to be satisfied with their state, as Paul the
Apostle teaches in the words: ‘Hast thou been called to be a slave? Be
not concerned thereat.’<br />
<b>XII. <i>An unjust cause of war also is the desire to rule others against their will on the pretext that it is for their good</i></b>.<br />
Not
less iniquitous is it to desire by arms to subdue other men, as if they
deserved to be enslaved, and were such as the philosophers at times
call slaves by nature. For even if something is advantageous for any
one, the right is not forthwith conferred upon me to impose this upon
him by force. For those who have the use of their reason ought to have
the free choice of what is advantageous or not advantageous, unless
another has acquired a certain right over them.<br />
With infants the
case is clearly different; for since they do not have the right of
exercising ‘independence of action’ and of directing their own
movements, nature confers the control over them upon persons who
undertake it and are fitted therefor.<br />
<b>XIII. <i> An unjust cause of war is the title to universal empire which some give to the Emperor, and which is shown to be inapplicable</i></b>.<br />
1.
I should hardly trouble to add that the title which certain persons
give to the Roman Emperor is absurd, as if he had the right of ruling
over even the most distant and hitherto unknown peoples, were it not
that Bartolus, long considered first among jurists, had dared to
pronounce him a heretic who denies to the Emperor this title. His
ground, forsooth, is that the Emperor at times calls himself lord of the
world, and that in the sacred writings that empire, which later writers
call Romania,’ is designated as ‘the inhabited world.” Of like
character is this expression:<br />
<ul><ul>Now the whole earth the victorious Roman held,</ul>
</ul>
as
are many similar expressions used in a broad sense, or in hyperbole, or
in high praise; as when, in the same Holy Writ, Judaea alone often
appears under the designation of’ the inhabited world.’ It is in this
sense that we are to take the ancient saying of the Jews that the city
of Jerusalem is situate in the center of the earth, that is in the
center of Judaea,’ just as Delphi, in the middle of Greece, is likewise
called the navel of the world.<br />
Nor should any one be influenced by
the arguments of Dante, by which he strives to prove that such a right
belongs to the Emperor because that is advantageous for the human race.
The advantages which it brings are in fact offset by its disadvantages.
For as a ship may attain to such a size that it cannot be steered, so
also the number of inhabitants and the distance between places may be so
great as not to tolerate a single government.<br />
2. Again, even if
we should grant that the ascription of such a right to the Emperor is
advantageous, the right to rule by no means follows, since this cannot
come into existence except by consent or by punishment. The Roman
Emperor at present does not have this right even over all the former
possessions of the Roman people; for as many of these were acquired by
war, so by war they have been lost; while others by treaties, others
still by abandonment, have passed under the authority of other nations
or kings.’ Some states, too, that were once completely subject, later
began to be subject only in part, or merely federated on unequal terms.
For all these ways either of losing or of modifying a right are not less
valid against the Roman Emperor than against others.<br />
<b>XIV. <i>An
unjust cause of war is the title to universal empire which others give
to the Church, and which also is shown to be inapplicable</i></b>.<br />
1.
There have also been some who claimed for the Church a right over the
peoples even of the hitherto unknown parts of the earth, although the
Apostle Paul himself clearly stated that he did not have the right to
judge those who are outside the bounds of Christendom, saying: ‘For what
have I to do with judging them that are without?’ (1Corinthians 5:12).<br />
Yet
the right of judging possessed by the Apostles, even although it
extended in its own way to earthly things, was of a heavenly nature, so
to say, and not of earthly quality; it was to be exercised indeed not by
the sword and scourge but by the word of God enunciated in general
terms and applied to particular conditions, through the revelation or
denial of the signs of divine grace, according as each might deserve; in
last resort even by a punishment not according to nature but from a
higher source than nature, therefore emanating from God. A punishment of
this kind appeared in the cases of Ananias, Elymas, Hymenaeus, and
others.<br />
2. Christ Himself, the source of all ecclesiastical
power, whose life is set as an example to the Church, in so far as it is
His Church, declared that His kingdom was not of this world, that is,
of the same character as other kingdoms; adding that otherwise He might
make use of soldiers in the manner of other kings. As it was, if He had
wished to call for legions, He would have called for legions not of men
but of Angels (Matthew 26:53). Whatever He did by right of authority
vested in Himself, He did not by human but by divine power, even when He
cast the money-changers out of the Temple. For on that occasion also
the scourge was a sign, not an instrument, of divine anger; as at other
times the spittle and oil were a symbol of healing,’ not a remedy.<br />
Augustine thus comments on the passage of John referred to:<br />
<blockquote>
Hear
then, ye Jews and Gentiles; hear, O circumcision; hear, O
uncircumcision; hear, all ye kingdoms of the earth! I do not interfere
with your rule in this world ‘ My kingdom is not of this world.’ Fear ye
not with the utterly empty fear with which the elder Herod trembled
when the birth of Christ was announced, and slew so many children in
order that death might reach that child; for he was rendered more cruel
by his fear than by his anger.</blockquote>
<blockquote>
‘My
kingdom,’ He said, ‘is not of this world.’ What more do ye seek? Come to
the kingdom that is not of this world; come believing, and rage not
through fear.</blockquote>
3. Among other things Paul forbids
the bishop to use force (2Timothy 3:2). Chrysostom said that ‘to rule by
compulsion,’ the compulsion, of course, which is derived from human
power, ‘is the right of kings, not of bishops.’ Elsewhere he declares:
‘Power has not been given to us to restrain men from crimes by the
authority of our sentences,’ sentences, that is, which involve the right
of execution by royal or military power, or the deprivation of any
human right whatsoever.’ He says also that the bishop should perform his
office ‘not by compulsion but by persuasion.’ From this it is
abundantly clear that bishops, as such, have no right to rule over men
in the manner of this world. In comparing the king and the bishop,
Jerome declares that ‘the former is set over unwilling, the latter over
willing subjects.’<br />
4. The question whether even kings may use
armed force as a means of punishment against those who reject the
Christian religion we have previously discussed, so far as is necessary
for our purpose, in the chapter ‘On Punishments.’<br />
<b>XV. <i>An unjust cause of war is also the desire to fulfil prophecies, without the command of God.</i></b>Not
without reason shall I give this warning, that the hope derived from an
interpretation of divine prophecies does not furnish a just cause of
war. For from a comparison of modern with ancient events I foresee the
danger of great evil from this source, unless we guard against it. Apart
from the fact that without prophetic inspiration it is hardly possible
to interpret with certainty prophecies that have not yet been fulfilled,
even the times set for the coming of things that are certain may be
hidden from us. Finally a prediction, unless it is a definite command of
God, confers no right, since the things which God foretells He often
permits to be accomplished through the agency of wicked men or base
deeds.<br />
<b>XVI. <i>An unjust cause of war is also the desire to
obtain something that is owed by an obligation not strictly legal but
arising from some other source</i></b>.<br />
This principle, too, must be
recognized. If a person owes a debt that is not an obligation from the
point of view of strict justice, but arises from some other virtue, such
as generosity, gratitude, pity or charity, this debt cannot be
collected by armed force any more than in a court of law. For either
procedure it is not enough that the demand which is made ought to be met
for a moral reason, but in addition we must possess some right to
enforce it.<br />
This right is at times conferred by divine and human
laws even in the case of obligations that arise from other virtues; and
when this happens there arises a new cause of indebtedness, which
relates to justice. When this is lacking, a war undertaken on such
grounds is unjust, such as the Roman war against the King of Cyprus on
the charge of ingratitude. He who confers a kindness has no right to
demand gratitude; otherwise there would be an agreement, not an act of
kindness.<br />
<b>XVII. <i>The difference between a war the cause
of which is unjust and a war in which there is a wrong of another kind;
and the different effects of each</i></b>.<br />
1. It is to be observed
that this often happens, that a just cause for a war may in fact exist,
but that in making war a wrong may arise from the intent of the party
who engages in hostilities. This may come about either because some
other thing, not in itself unlawful, in a greater degree and more
effectively influences his purpose than the right itself, as, for
example, an eager desire for honor,’ or some advantage, whether private
or public, which is expected from the war considered apart from its
justifiable cause. Or there may be present a manifestly unlawful desire,
such as the delight of him who has pleasure in another’s ill, without
regard to what is good. From this point of view Aristides in his oration
On the Alliance says that the Phocians perished in accordance with
their deserts, but that Philip did not act rightly when he overthrew
them, seeing that he did not act out of zeal for religion, as he
pretended, but in order to extend his empire.<br />
2. ‘The sole cause
of warfare, and that an ancient one,’ says Sallust, ‘is a deeply rooted
desire for power and riches.’ ‘Gold and wealth, the chief causes of
wars,’ we find in Tacitus. In a tragedy we read:<br />
<ul><ul>Impious lust of gain and wrath impetuous<br />Have broken the alliance.</ul>
</ul>
With
these quotations you may rightly associate the passage of Augustine:
‘The eager desire to injure, the cruelty of vengeance, the unappeased
and unappeasable mind, the savagery of rebellion, the lust of ruling,
and whatever else there is akin, these are the things which are justly
censured in warfare.’<br />
3. However, when a justifiable cause is
not wanting, while these things do indeed convict of wrong the party
that makes war, yet they do not render the war itself, properly
speaking, unlawful. Hence no restitution is due as a result of a war
undertaken under such conditions.</div>

As he said on Meet the Press, "We know that [Saddam] has a long-standing relationship with various terrorist groups, including the al-Qaeda organization." However, in June, the U.N. formally investigated the claim and found absolutely no evidence.<br /><br />As reported by the <span style="font-style:italic;">NY Times</span>, "The chairman of the monitoring group appointed by the United Nations Security Council to track Al Qaeda told reporters that his team had found no evidence linking Al Qaeda to Saddam Hussein" [6/27/03]. Similarly, even the 9/11 commission report undercuts claims before the war that Hussein had links to Al Qaeda.<br /><br />According to national security officials, "In the 14 weeks since the fall of Baghdad, coalition forces have not brought to light any significant evidence demonstrating the bond between Iraq and Al Qaeda…Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and Abu Zubaydah, the two highest-ranking Qaeda operatives in custody, have told investigators that Mr. bin Laden shunned cooperation with Saddam Hussein" [NY Times, 7/20/03]<br /><br />Despite all this Cheney repeated the assertion in 2004, stating that Saddam "had long established ties with Al Qaeda." <br />- June 14, 2004<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">REF: "WHAT ELSE WAS CHENEY DOING WRONG?"</span>http://infowars.net/articles/august2007/010807Cheney.htm<br /><br />SO WHAT DID WE DO?<br />WE MADE A PREEMPTIVE ATTACK ON IRAQ, AND KILLED HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF INNOCENT IRAQI CITIZENS, MAKING MUSLIM ENEMIES BY THE MILLIONS IN THE PROCESS.<br /><br />WE AMERICANS WENT ALONG WITH IT BECAUSE OF NINE-ELEVEN.

We had one report early on from another intelligence service that suggested that the lead hijacker, Mohamed Atta, had met with Iraqi intelligence officials in Prague, Czechoslovakia. And that reporting waxed and waned where the degree of confidence in it, and so forth, has been pretty well knocked down now at this stage, that that meeting ever took place. So we've never made the case, or argued the case that somehow Osama bin Laden [sic] was directly involved in 9/11. That evidence has never been forthcoming.

But three influential voices are now saying publicly what many others say privately: that blame should be focused on leakers, not Assange, who after all was merely the middleman for the handful of newspapers and magazines that were given first crack at classified military and diplomatic documents.<br /><br />On Friday Jack L. Goldsmith, “widely considered one of the brightest stars in the conservative legal firmament” when he joined the Bush administration Justice Department in 2003, according to a typical assessment, wrote that he found himself “agreeing with those who think Assange is being unduly vilified.”<br /><br />“I certainly do not support or like his disclosure of secrets that harm U.S. national security or foreign policy interests,” Goldsmith wrote on the Lawfare blog. “But as all the hand-wringing over the 1917 Espionage Act shows, it is not obvious what law he has violated. It is also important to remember, to paraphrase Justice Stewart in the Pentagon Papers, that the responsibility for these disclosures lies firmly with the institution empowered to keep them secret: the Executive branch.”<br /><br />Goldsmith called the government “unconscionably lax in allowing Bradley Manning,” an Army private arrested on suspicion of giving WikiLeaks Afghan and Iraq war documents last summer, “to have access to all these secrets and to exfiltrate them so easily.”<br /><br />“I do not understand why so much ire is directed at Assange and so little at the New York Times,” continued Goldsmith, who resigned from the Justice Department after only nine months on the job because he disagreed with its legal rationalizations for waterboarding and other counter-terrorism tactics.<br /><br />Goldsmith's remarks came only a few days after libertarian standard-bearer Rep. Ron Paul virtually celebrated WikiLeaks for exposing America's “delusional foreign policy.”<br /><br />“When presented with embarrassing disclosures about U.S. spying and meddling, the policy that requires so much spying and meddling is not questioned,” said the nominal Texas Republican, denouncing calls for prosecuting Assange. “Instead the media focuses on how authorities might prosecute the publishers of such information.”<br /><br />On Monday influential Harvard political scientist Stephen M. Walt endorsed Goldsmith’s views, asking whether The Washington Post’s Bob Woodward shouldn’t be prosecuted for publishing secrets if Assange was.<br /><br />"I keep thinking about the Wikileaks affair,” Walt wrote for NPR’s Web site, “and I keep seeing the double-standards multiplying. Given how frequently government officials leak classified information in order to make themselves look good, box in their bureaucratic rivals, or tie the President's hands, it seems a little disingenuous of them to be so upset by Assange's activities.”<br /><br />By Jeff Stein | December 13, 2010; 3:23 PM ET <br />Categories: Media, Military | Tags: Jack L.Goldsmith, Ron Paul, Stephen M.

When it will, it will join a horde of similar insects to form a ruthless, destroying mass. It was once just a grasshopper.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Today, Wikileaks leader <span style="font-weight:bold;">Julian Assange</span> sits in solitary confinement in a London prison "for his own safety" --and also outside of the view of the public. He has been refused a laptop computer and access to information to help him plead his case. Described as "in hiding" when almost everyone who's anyone knew exactly where Assange was staying, the international community was told that Assange was being sought for rape and other sex crimes, and oh, by the way, the US government would like to execute him for revealing state secrets. But Assange offered himself up for arrest as soon as he was presented with the order to do so. And his "rape" and "sex crimes" involved two honeypot lovelies who complained about sex without a condom and a broken condom being used --indeed, the ladies on the nights when these "crimes" occurred never uttered so much as a syllable against Assange. The media AND the police are, indeed, much to be feared these days.<br /> <br />I have seen, to my shock, how a newsgroup has state, as if it's all proven-and-true, that I 'concocted' what happened between myself and Lee Harvey Oswald. Every single person making these negative statements failed to ever meet or speak to me. Reading how Assange was described as a "rapist" for months, and that he was the subject of an "international manhunt" when I, myself, have friends who told me where he was staying, has exposed to me how lies, offered as sober facts by those who want someone's blood, can twist the truth and convince many. The sheer weight of an accusation can create doubts forever: is Assange a sex pervert? The fellow was breaking his condom or setting it aside in <span style="font-weight:bold;">Sweden</span>, for heaven's sake! Since I live in Sweden half the time myself, I'm aware of what the ordinary Swedish citizen thinks of those "sex crimes." They have told me that they are "ashamed." <br /><br />We have good reason to fear those who have power to condemn us. They can destroy our lives and reputations. For example, last week an Oschner family member called in to a radio program where Edward T. Haslam was speaking, to declare that I was a schizophrenic. Haslam calmly explained that I'd had a head injury a few years ago and thus had to take a big battery of psychological tests before I could get hired (to teach, etc.). He mentioned how I had passed the MMPI II, for example,and that he had read the test results and a psychologists's "all just fine" report. The same epithet was solemnly pronounced upon me by the newsgroup. Though it was answered with the same diagnostic material's result that I was entirely normal psychologically,one person posted the same accusation again on a different newsgroup, where it was accepted without question because nobody who knew the truth was there to share the truth.<br /><br />The crux was that a lie was delivered, knowingly and maliciously. The sense of outrage, of wanting justice, creates a desire to even the score: "HE is the one who's deranged!" then all hell breaks loose, doesn't it? But if no answer is given, then the lie stands, unchallenged. <br /><br />Lies and secrecy (posting the lie elsewhere, surreptitiously)create the stuff of war.<br /><br />The food of the locust can be anything. It feeds upon whatever gives it energy. It does not discriminate: it simply destroys, then moves to a new area and destroys again. Lee Harvey Oswald for some time had few witnesses to defend him. I thank God that I have had the opportunity to stand forth, even if it means my reputation is under attack by "locusts" with an agenda,assisted by their converts.<br /><br />POLICE AND AUTHORITY<br /><br />I have great compassion for good police officers.My cousin, David, was a fine police officer. He has a kind heart and a generous spirit. But police make enemies. My cousin had such an enemy, who entered his home and attacked David, slicing into him with a large knife, then slitting open his belly and disemboweling him. David survived the attack but is confined to a wheelchair with spinal damage for the rest of his life.<br /><br />I hold no grudge against the police. We need champions of law and order. We need protection on dark streets. We need a shoulder to cry on when a tragedy strikes and the police arrive on the scene. We need justice. Police dignify the protection system by treating everyone the same under the law. That is, most of them do.<br /><br />But there are times when police are called to fulfill distasteful tasks. We see them standing against protesters who simply want to be heard. Sometimes they can become brutal.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTx9xqX6v9xSi7T5hB_OCg5o37m0etiDspd3lEQZHM86gbPTdqE"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 299px; height: 168px;" src="http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTx9xqX6v9xSi7T5hB_OCg5o37m0etiDspd3lEQZHM86gbPTdqE" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />Then we see them at their worst. Inside prisons, for example: what happens there, using wardens or police, can be a lesson in how cruel and primitive the human mind can be. Not that I blame any particular individual for what occurs there. Psychological studies have proven that prisoners become targets of aggression all too easily: designated "guards" became unbelievably harsh, despotic and sadistic when allowed free rein against designated "prisoners." And they don't understand why.<br />(Ref: The Stanford Prison Experiment<br />http://psychology.about.com/od/classicpsychologystudies/a/stanford-prison-experiment.htm) <br /><br />As technology advances, it becomes easier to subject prisoners to torture, with few visible effects. In the case shown below, Australian police used their high-tech weapons and brute force against a prisoner.

Zimbardo, a former classmate of Stanley Milgram (who is best-known for his famous obedience experiment, was interested in expanding upon Milgram's research. He wanted to further investigate the the impact of situational variables on human behavior.<br /><br />The question the researchers asked was how would the participants react when placed in a simulated prison environment. "Suppose you had only kids who were normally healthy, psychologically and physically, and they knew they would be going into a prison-like environment and that some of their civil rights would be sacrificed. Would those good people, put in that bad, evil place—would their goodness triumph?" Zimbardo explained in one interview.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">The Participants<br /></span><br />The researchers set up a mock prison in the basement of Standford University's psychology building, and then selected 24 undergraduate students to play the roles of both prisoners and guards. The participants were selected from a larger group of 70 volunteers because they had no criminal background, lacked psychological issues and had no major medical conditions. The volunteers agreed to participate for a one- to two-week period in exchange for $15 a day.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">The Setting and Procedures</span><br /><br />The simulated prison included three six by nine foot prison cells. Each cell held three prisoners and included three cots. Other rooms across from the cells were utilized for the prison guards and warden. One very small space was designated as the solitary confinement room, and yet another small room served as the prison yard.<br /><br />The 24 volunteers were then randomly assigned to either the prisoner group or the guard group. Prisoners were to remain in the mock prison 24-hours a day for the duration of the study. Guards, on the other hand, were assigned to work in three-man teams for eight-hour shifts. After each shift, guards were allowed to return to their homes until their next shift. Researchers were able to observe the behavior of the prisoners and guards using hidden cameras and microphones.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Results of the Stanford Prison Experiment<br /></span><br />While the Stanford Prison Experiment was originally slated to last 14 days, it had to be stopped after just six days due to what was happening to the student participants. The guards became abusive and the prisoners began to show signs of extreme stress and anxiety.<br /><br />While the prisoners and guards were allowed to interact in any way they wanted, the interactions were generally hostile or even dehumanizing. The guards began to behave in ways that were aggressive and abusive toward the prisoners, while the prisoners became passive and depressed. Five of the prisoners began to experience such severe negative emotions, including crying and acute anxiety, that they had to be released from the study early.<br /><br />Even the researchers themselves began to lose sight of the reality of the situation. Zimbardo, who acted as the prison warden, overlooked the abusive behavior of the prison guards until graduate student Christina Maslach voiced objections to the conditions in the simulated prison and the morality of continuing the experiment.<br /><br />"Only a few people were able to resist the situational temptations to yield to power and dominance while maintaining some semblance of morality and decency; obviously I was not among that noble class," Zimbardo later wrote in his book The Lucifer Effect.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">What Do the Results of the Stanford Prison Experiment Mean?<br /></span><br />According to Zimbardo and his colleagues, the Stanford Prison Experiment demonstrates the powerful role that the situation can play in human behavior. Because the guards were placed in a position of power, they began to behave in ways they would not normally act in their everyday lives or in other situations. The prisoners, placed in a situation where they had no real control, became passive and depressed.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Criticisms of the Stanford Prison Experiment<br /></span><br />The Stanford Prison Experiment is frequently cited as an example of unethical research. The experiment could not be replicated by researchers today because it fails to meet the standards established by numerous ethical codes, including the Ethics Code of the American Psychological Association. Zimbardo acknowledges the ethical problems with the study, suggesting that "although we ended the study a week earlier than planned, we did not end it soon enough."<br /><br />Other critics suggest that the study lacks generalizability due to a variety of factors. The unrepresentative sample of participants (mostly white and middle class males) makes it difficult to apply the results to a wider population.<br /><br />The study is also criticized for its lack of ecological validity. While the researchers did their best to recreate a prison setting, it is simply not possible to perfectly mimic all of the environmental and situational variables of prison life.<br /><br />Despite some of the criticism, the Stanford Prison Experiment remains an important study in our understanding of how the situation can influence human behavior. The study recently garnered attention after reports of the Abu Ghraib prisoner abuses in Iraq became known. Many people, including Zimbardo himself, suggest that the abuses at Abu Ghraib might be real-world examples of the same results observed in Zimbardo's experiment.<br /><br />SOURCE: http://psychology.about.com/od/classicpsychologystudies/a/stanford-prison-experiment.htm<br /><br />References<br /><br />Interview with Philip Zimbardo.

WHAT I CALL "THE BEEHIVE SOCIETY" AND "THE LOCUST SYNDROME" INFLUENCE INDIVIDUAL HUMAN BEINGS TO ACT DIFFERENTLY WHEN THEY ARE IN 'PACK' SITUATIONS. NOTE HOW ARMIES ARE COMPOSED OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN FORCED TO MARCH, FIRE WEAPONS AND OBEY ORDERS WITHOUT QUESTION FOR GREATER KILLING AND DEFENSE EFFICIENCY.<br /><br />HOW PEOPLE ACT WHEN THEY HAVE TOTAL POWER IS DIFFERENT FROM HOW THEY ACT WHEN THEY DO NOT HAVE TOTAL POWER. AN INCREASE IN NUMBERS IS THE SOLE REASON WHY POLICEMEN OR SOLDIERS STANDING ARMED AGAINST A BIG CROWD WILL LARGELY ACT THE SAME: AS A KIND OF ROBOT.<br /><br />THE CREATION AND EXPLOITATION OF HUMAN-BEINGS-NOW-VIRTUAL-ROBOTS IS WHAT ARMIES ARE ALL ABOUT.<br /><br />SECRECY IS THE ULTIMATE CAUSE OF WAR, BUT ACTIONS BASED ON LIES CREATED DUE TO SECRECY CAUSE THE BEEHIVE SOCIETY REACTION, WHERE THE LOCUST SYNDROME --THE MASSING OF ARMIES OR OF HUGE MOBS BENT ON DESTRUCTION -- LEADS TO MASSIVE DEATH AND UNBELIEVABLE SUFFERING. ONLY EXHAUSTION OF THE LOCUST SYNDROME'S PHYSICAL NUMBERS STOPS MASSIVE OVERT WAR, WHICH THEN EITHER ENDS, OR TURNS INTO GUERRILLA WARFARE WHERE THE LOCUST APPROACH CAN NEVER WIN. AS LONG AS THE LOCUST NUMBERS REMAIN, WAR CONTINUES EVEN IF ONLY GUERRILLA RESPONSES REMAIN. SUCH A SITUATION CAN LAST FOR GENERATIONS.

These thousand bases constitute 95 percent of all the military bases any country in the world maintains on any other country's territory. In other words, the United States is to military bases as Heinz is to ketchup.</p><p align="justify" style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 16px; ">The old way of doing colonialism, practiced by the Europeans, was to take over entire countries and administer them. But this was clumsy. The United States has pioneered a leaner approach to global empire. As historian Chalmers Johnson says, "America's version of the colony is the military base." The United States, <a href="http://www.tomdispatch.com/post/1181/chalmers_johnson_on_garrisoning_the_planet" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none; font-style: normal; "><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" >says Johnson</span></span></a>, has an "empire of bases."</p><blockquote style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 16px; "><p align="justify"><b>Its 'empire of bases' gives the United States global reach, but the shape of this empire, insofar as it tilts toward Europe, is a bloated and anachronistic holdover from the Cold War."</b></p></blockquote><p align="justify" style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 16px; "><b>These bases do not come cheap. Excluding U.S. bases in Afghanistan and Iraq, the United States spends about $102 billion a year to run its overseas bases, according to Miriam Pemberton of the Institute for Policy Studies.</b> </p><p align="justify" style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 16px; ">And in many cases you have to ask what purpose they serve. </p><p align="justify" style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 16px; "><b>For example, the United States has 227 bases in Germany.</b> Maybe this made sense during the Cold War, when Germany was split in two by the iron curtain and U.S. policy makers sought to persuade the Soviets that the American people would see an attack on Europe as an attack on itself. But in a new era when Germany is reunited and the United States is concerned about flashpoints of conflict in Asia, Africa, and the Middle East, it makes as much sense for the Pentagon to hold onto 227 military bases in Germany as it would for the post office to maintain a fleet of horses and buggies.</p><p align="justify" style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 16px; ">Drowning in red ink, the White House is desperate to cut unnecessary costs in the federal budget, and Massachusetts Cong. Barney Frank, a Democrat, has suggested that the Pentagon budget could be cut by 25 percent. Whether or not one thinks Frank's number is politically realistic, foreign bases are surely a lucrative target for the budget cutter's axe.<b> In 2004 Donald Rumsfeld estimated that the United States could save $12 billion by closing 200 or so foreign bases. </b>This would also be relatively cost-free politically since the locals who may have become economically dependent upon the bases are foreigners and cannot vote retribution in U.S. elections.</p><p align="justify" style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 16px; ">Yet those foreign bases seem invisible as budget cutters squint at the Pentagon's $664 billion proposed budget. Take the March 1st editorial in the<em>New York Times</em>, <span class="Apple-style-span">"<a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/01/opinion/01sun2.html" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none; font-style: normal; ">The Pentagon Meets the Real World.</a>"</span> The <em>Times</em>'s editorialists called for "political courage" from the White House in cutting the defense budget. Their suggestions? <b>Cut the air force's F-22 fighter and the navy's DDG-1000 destroyer and scale back missile defense and the army's Future Combat System to save $10 billion plus a year. All good suggestions, but what about those foreign bases?</b></p><p align="justify" style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 16px; "><b>==NOTE BY JVB: CUTTING ORDERS FOR MILITARY GOODS MADE BY AMERICANS MAKES AMERICANS LOSE JOBS.

And Princeton University Press is about to publish David Vine's <a href="http://press.princeton.edu/titles/8885.html" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none; font-style: normal; "><em><span class="Apple-style-span" >Island of Shame</span></em></a>--a book that tells the story of how the United States and Britain secretly agreed to deport the Chagossian inhabitants of Diego Garcia to Mauritius and the Seychelles so their island could be turned into a military base. </p><p align="justify" style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 16px; ">The Americans were so thorough that they even gassed all the Chagossian dogs. The Chagossians have been denied their day in court in the United States but won their case against the British government in three trials, only to have the judgment overturned by the highest court in the land, the House of Lords. They are now appealing to the European Court of Human Rights.</p><p align="justify" style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 16px; ">American leaders speak of foreign bases as cementing alliances with foreign nations, largely through the trade and aid agreements that often accompany base leases. Yet, U.S. soldiers live in a sort of cocooned simulacrum of America in their bases, watching American TV, listening to American rap and heavy metal, and eating American fast food, so that the transplanted farm boys and street kids have little exposure to another way of life. Meanwhile, on the other side of the barbed-wire fence, local residents and businesses often become economically dependent on the soldiers and have a stake in their staying.</p><p align="justify" style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 16px; ">These bases can become flashpoints for conflict. Military bases invariably discharge toxic waste into local ecosystems, as in Guam where military bases have led to no fewer than 19 superfund sites. Such contamination generates resentment and sometimes, as in Vieques in the 1990s, full-blown social movements against the bases. The United States used Vieques for live-bombing practice 180 days a year, and by the time the United States withdrew in 2003, the landscape was littered with exploded and unexploded ordinance, depleted uranium rounds, heavy metals, oil, lubricants, solvents, and acids. <b>According to local activists, the cancer rate on Vieques was 30 percent higher than on the rest of Puerto Rico.</b></p><p align="justify" style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 16px; ">It is also inevitable that, from time to time, U.S. soldiers--often drunk--commit crimes. The resentment these crimes cause is only exacerbated by the U.S. government's frequent insistence that such crimes not be prosecuted in local courts. In 2002, two U.S. soldiers killed two teenage girls in Korea as they walked to a birthday party. Korean campaigners claim this was one of 52,000 crimes committed by U.S. soldiers in Korea between 1967 and 2002. The two U.S. soldiers were immediately repatriated to the United States so they could escape prosecution in Korea.</p><p align="justify" style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 16px; ">In 1998, a marine pilot sliced through the cable of a ski gondola in Italy, killing 20 people, but U.S. officials slapped him on the wrist and refused to allow Italian authorities to try him. These and other similar incidents injured U.S. relations with important allies.</p><p align="justify" style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 16px; ">The 9/11 attacks are arguably the most spectacular example of the kind of blowback that can be generated from local resentment against U.S. bases. In the 1990s, the presence of U.S. military bases near the holiest sites of Sunni Islam in Saudi Arabia angered Osama bin Laden and provided Al Qaeda with a potent recruitment tool. The United States wisely closed its largest bases in Saudi Arabia, but it opened additional bases in Iraq and Afghanistan that are rapidly becoming new sources of friction in the relationship between the United States and the peoples of the Middle East.</p><p align="justify" style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 16px; ">Its "empire of bases" gives the United States global reach, but the shape of this empire, insofar as it tilts toward Europe, is a bloated and anachronistic holdover from the Cold War. Many of these bases are a luxury the United States can no longer afford at a time of record budget deficits. </p><p align="justify" style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 16px; ">Moreover, U.S. foreign bases have a double edge: they project American power across the globe, but they also inflame U.S. foreign relations, generating resentment against the prostitution, environmental damage, petty crime, and everyday ethnocentrism that are their inevitable corollaries. <b>Such resentments have recently forced the closure of U.S. bases in Ecuador, Puerto Rico, and Kyrgyzstan, and if past is prologue, more movements against U.S. bases can be expected in the future. </b>Over the next 50 years, I believe we will witness the emergence of a new international norm according to which foreign military bases will be as indefensible as the colonial occupation of another country has become during the last 50 years.</p><p align="justify" style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 16px; "><b>The Declaration of Independence criticizes the British "for quartering large bodies of armed troops among us" and "for protecting them, by a mock trial, from punishment for any murders which they should commit on the inhabitants of these States."

HOWEVER, DALLAS POLICE DID MAKE A PHOTO OF THE RING (above).<br /><br /><br /><br />THINK YOU KNOW THE TRUTH?<br />CAN YOU DISCERN THE TRUTH?<br /><br />READ THIS LITTLE PIECE, AND AFTER READING IT, ASK YOURSELF IF YOU CAN 'ALWAYS' FIGURE OUT 'WHAT'S MISSING' FROM 'OFFICIAL VERSIONS.'<br /><br />THE 'OFFICIAL VERSION' GIVEN YOU BY GOVERNMENTS WHO WANT TO CREATE OR PERPETUATE A WAR ALWAYS HAS SOMETHING IMPORTANT MISSING.<br /><br />TO OFFER AN EXAMPLE, PLEASE READ THIS:<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">About Assassination Facts and Fancy Factoids-- for Smart Folks Only </span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Smart folks --such as you -- must know how many stark, truthful facts abound, about JFK's assassination, and thus can laugh (though sadly) at TV's most popular, official myths, thrown out to our ignorant youths and to our most trusting and foolish patriots. But can such ploys always fool "marks" with such scurrilous scams? I say, "no!" All such junk thrown our way can distract us from unity, but now, with our world in such disarray, it is important to think, or sink.<br /> Who could discuss with accuracy just how much FBI and CIA story-spinning took from us -- including any ability to act or think in unity, as our slain martyr and warrior,JFK, was put into his stony tomb? Foul traitors took our country from us: you can spot a wink, a grin, a nod...and harsh wars would follow, making many rich, and so many who fought such wars poor in mind, body and soul. <br /> But truth is immortal, and if God so wills, truth will out: a host of cold facts about JFK’s assassination by foul traitors--not by a patriot--and LHO was a patriot-- will finally find its way into our history books, wiping out what is polluting such important books today.<br /> Truly, smart folks such as you and I should know that Oswald, far from assassinating JFK, actually was trying to do all that a man could do to abort it. Distortions of assassination data and photos still abound, all such stuff (without lasting impact, it turns out) trying to foist “Oswald as assassin” on a world that knows that such a portrait of JFK’s assassination is akin to a kind of magical act that cannot stand harsh scrutiny. It is Oswald who still shouts to us, via TV, from amidst his captors on that awful day --“I am a patsy!” That cry rings out to touch souls. Just four small words, shouting out to us what millions of words hissing from thousands of brutal CIA and FBI mouths cannot block from our horror-struck souls: <span style="font-style:italic;">that Oswald did not kill JFK!</span><br /> <span style="font-weight:bold;"> And if Oswald did not kill JFK...who will finish this thought with just and truthful words, as to who actually DID kill JFK?</span> Will you? Will I? <br /> Was it just Mafia who did it, or did Mafia act on command? Mafia was brought in to do it, probably, for so much about JFK's 'hit' and "official" facts about it look way too suspicious. Such as: who told JFK'S SS unit to stand down in Dallas? Who hid facts, 'lost' JFK's brain, put out mock photos of autopsy x-rays, had JFK's autopsy put in control of US military(no autopsy in Dallas -- that was an illicit act!). And who had Oswald put forward to all-- in just 24 hours -- as JFK's only assassin, a man who did this awful act, it was said, without any aid at all, from anybody? So much for an old, "official" story that is now dying! AND WHY IS THIS OLD, OFFICIAL STORY DYING? Today's communications now bring you thousands of hard, strong, important facts -- facts you should start thinking about <span style="font-style:italic;">if you want your country back!</span></span><br /> <br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">The above set of paragraphs constitute a lipogram. It was created to help you think about how truth can be manipulated.</span><br /><br />In this case, the letter ‘e’ does not appear in the sentences above. <br />Only ‘smart’ folks would realize this, by carefully examining the sentences. Similarly, many lies were written about Lee Harvey Oswald. But what was missing --what was left out--would have given us the truth.<br /> <br />Because so much was left out--just as the letter 'e'--above--is absent from what otherwise seems to be 'normal' writing--if we 'think smart" we are able to discern what the government took trouble to so carefully avoid -- certain witnesses, certain documents redacted, certain events and facts kept from the people. We are finding what the government omitted. What the government lied about. New witnesses (such as myself) have emerged, ignored, omitted, in the "official version" of things.<br /><br /> The government now tries to pretend that it is now too late--that the truth no longer matters. Efforts to make the public despise our fallen President are now taking the place of the government's long-failed efforts to hide the truth--that Oswald did not kill Kennedy.<br /><br /> The government now in place is actually illegal, for it is based on a Coup d'etat that brought in a whole new system. Today, a shadow government behind the scenes decides what Democrats and Republicans, like puppets, can get done. And the people suffer.<br /><br /> You and I, the American people, must realize that important information had to be kept from you in order to control you. The truth had to be left out to make the rich much richer--at your expense. That's the bottom line.<br /><br /> For example, there were no ‘weapons of mass destruction’ in Iraq—the excuse we were given for entering and destroying that country --- making a few much richer--and the rest of us much poorer.<br /><br /> There was no attack on our ships in the Gulf of Tonkin—the excuse for enhancing the unnecessary Vietnam War. Look to Texas as the source of most of our miseries today-- and it's still going on.<br /><br /> There is more and more evidence –hidden originally from the people—that the reasons given for creating the “war on terror” were secretly created by our own government. See Dr. Jim Fetzer's blogs on nine-eleven. <br /><br /> You can go ahead and live without the ‘missing pieces’ –but the truth, though painful, is necessary for a free country to exist. It may affect your own ability to exist. Better start paying attention to the illegal government acting behind the scenes.<br /><br /> What can you do?<br /><br /> Demand truth in government. A few good patriotic people are actually politicians. Help them survive.<br /><br /> To get our country back peacefully, we must make changes that will be real. <br /> Change the government --starting from the bottom up— for the top is so rotten and corrupt that any President elected to that club of good ole boys has “been to the woodshed” or will in other ways be rendered impotent. Look at Obama. He meant well, I believe. He's helpless.<br /> You won;t like what our country will be like just ten years from now, if you sit on your hands and just hope things will get better. That's not the way things work. A leaky roof doesn't 'get better.' Cows needing pasture will not be fed if kept in the barn. You will lose your country for good if you don't stand up for your rights and demand that America once again becomes the land of the free, not the land that gets patted down, groped and stalked by police who should be our friends, not our wardens.<br /> <br />DEMAND THE FOLLOWING:<br />1) PAPER BALLOTS, HAND-COUNTED, NOT MACHINE-COUNTED, WITH JUDGES FROM ALL PARTIES PRESENT TO WATCH THE COUNTS.<br />2) PLACE LIMITS ON HOW MUCH CAN BE SPENT ON POLITICAL CAMPAIGNS, ASIS DONE IN OTHER COUNTRIES.<br />3) ENCOURAGE THE DEVELOPMENT OF OTHER POLITICAL PARTIES, BECAUSE DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS ARE JUST NAMES FOR THE SAME PEOPLE WHOSE SOULS ARE OWNED BY CORPORATIONS AND LOBBYISTS.<br />4) FORBID DONATIONS BY CORPORATIONS.<br /><br />5) LIMIT LOBBYISTS TO TWO PER COMPANY/CORPORATION, WITHOUT ALLOWING CUTOUT CORPORATIONS TO PAD THE INFLUENCE<br />6) MAKE IT AGAINST THE LAW TO TAX PRIMARY HOMESTEADS SO THAT AN AMERICAN’S HOME CAN NEVER BE TAKEN AWAY DUE TO NON-PAYMENT OF TAXES<br />7) KICK OUT THE FEDS AND HAVE AMERICA PRINT ITS OWN MONEY.<br />8) LEGALIZE MARIJUANA TO STOP THE ARRESTS AND INCARCERATION OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE, WHICH WILL DRIVE DOWN THE PRICE OF MARIJUANA, LEADING TO A DROP IN CRIME<br />9) BREAK UP MEDIA MONOPOLIES AND MAKE IT ILLEGAL FOR MORE THAN 25 NEWSPAPERS AND TV STATIONS TO BE OWNED BY ANY ONE ORGANIZATION.<br />10) STATION TROOPS ALONG THE PAKISTAN BORDER TO PROTECT PAKISTAN, LEAVE AFGHANISTAN TO THE AFGHANS, AND STATION THE REST OF OUR TROOPS ALONG OUR BORDERS TO PROTECT THEM FROM ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS AND TERRORISTS.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8973932098809371053.post-48366969263714509142010-06-27T09:00:00.000-07:002010-06-27T10:13:02.378-07:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQx683JuSNCXGDSEvrF0-bWhoFuo1udqJoi9mXC0uR7pbvCVS2aj4PlLzAaC_BG-kmNIH2OhChyphenhyphenneFvgBPPk_YZjpaUZVYlq7hHMmtHFoqcmr2zPmUKp957vY_C_nVZdkDLaCzc_fgqo0/s1600/Muses.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 290px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQx683JuSNCXGDSEvrF0-bWhoFuo1udqJoi9mXC0uR7pbvCVS2aj4PlLzAaC_BG-kmNIH2OhChyphenhyphenneFvgBPPk_YZjpaUZVYlq7hHMmtHFoqcmr2zPmUKp957vY_C_nVZdkDLaCzc_fgqo0/s400/Muses.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5487485022225137186" /></a><br />"Muses"<br />by<br />Judyth<br />Vary<br />Baker<br /><br />-----<br /><strong>MAN OF PEACE: <br />A TRIBUTE TO <br />SOUTHSIDE JR. HIGH SCHOOL MUSIC TEACHER<br /> DAVID WILCOX<br /> ST. PETERSBURG, FLORIDA</strong><br />I CAN FIND NO MENTION OF DAVID WILCOX, GLEE CLUB AND MUSIC TEACHER AT SOUTHSIDE JR. HIGH SCHOOL, ON THE INTERNET. THE VERY SCHOOL IN WHICH HE TAUGHT RECENTLY CLOSED ITS DOORS, SUPPOSEDLY FOREVER.<br />I can find no pictures of Mr. Wilcox, either, but surely someone has a Bulldog Yearbook with his picture in it. I think he had a son, Robert.<br />This apparently now obscure man had a tremendous influence on his classes. First of all, I recall that our Glee Club had at least sixty members. Then there were the music classes he taught, as well as the school’s marching band. How did he find the time and energy to always look crisp, fresh and professional? I can describe him as having average height and build, a pleasantly-featured face, with the hairline of a middle-aged man. He sometimes wore a vest, and he seemed to always carry a music book or a wand in one hand. There was nothing particularly remarkable or interesting as to his physical appearance.<br />But wait.<br />When he lined us up in Glee Club, a single finger lifted to his lips was enough to gain our respect and attention.<br />For we loved to sing for this man. When we were good, he reverberated with joy. He glowed with happiness and satisfaction. When we were not-so-good, he picked the poorest singers among us and asked them to sing alone to get more confidence. He took the time to hear each of us sing solos after school. He arranged us according to our abilities and our desire to please, which means that we all felt as if we were important and had special talents. For those whose voices were weak, he praised the ability to keep the beat, to memorize the lyrics. For those whose voices were superb – well, we never quite knew who was NOT superb! We all felt as if our best was what we just had to give to this man. He had our hearts in the palm of his hand.<br />Of all the teachers I ever had –and I had some magnificent teachers –this man taught me more than all the others together. He taught me that respect and patience and hard work go together. He taught me how to have more self-confidence. Above all, he taught me to yearn for peace and brotherhood in the world.<br /><br /><br />The songs Mr. Wilcox chose for us to sing had an impact on us that would last throughout our lives. Where other Glee Clubs might have been singing popular pop, in OUR Glee Club, we sang songs derived from classical music, we sang religious music, and – most important of all –we sang music about love, peace and non-prejudice.<br />Today, some of these songs might have been termed politically incorrect, for we sang Negro work songs, Slavic (yes! Communist!) songs, Gregorian chants, hillbilly songs, songs from the wild west, songs from chain gangs – and songs based on famous operas or adapted from the works of the world’s most famous composers. <br />How was it possible that we learned at least 200 songs that year and a half that I was in Glee Club? In today’s schools, he tragedy of “Mr. Holland’s Opus” is played out constantly. We are told we cannot afford such "luxuries" as physical education, art classes, and music classes. Thus, thousands of physical education classes, art classes and music classes are going by the wayside –those very classes where the heart and mind together develop their greatest human aspects. <br /><br /> In art, we learn to express ourselves without written words. In physical education, we learn the true value of teamwork and individual effort. But in music classes, we learn all the above, and more. <br /> <br />We learn, through international music, that people everywhere have the same dreams, yearnings and desires. That brotherhood should include respect for all the various cultures, all the various religions, all the various skin colors and races.<br /><br />In David Wilcox’ music classes, we learned it all.<br /> <br />His explanations of what each song meant stuck with us and translated into fierce emotions and subtle resonances as we sang. We suffered with the slaves. <br />We toiled with the communist workers in their communes. <br />We charged up the hill with the British Grenadiers. <br />We sailed the China seas and penetrated the depths of the Congo. <br />We discovered the Magic Flute and the Swallows of Sorrento.<br /> <br />We discovered ourselves in all these scenarios. <br /> <br />For young teens, faced with the Cold War, the fear that a nuclear bomb could be dropped on our heads (yes, we had to go through those drills where we scrambled under our desks and covered our heads in anticipation of an atomic bomb’s being dropped on our city!)—through all of our painful and exciting adolescent days spent at Southside Jr. High, under Mr. Wilcox’ serene gaze and firm discipline, we felt confident, empowered, and safe.<br /><br />Below, I have posted just a few of the hundreds of songs that remained living within my heart for the rest of my life – all of them learned in Mr. Wilcox’ music and Glee Club classes. I sing one or two of them every day. Those songs shaped me into a more caring and loving person, more willing to forgive others, more desirous of peace, more human and humane than I’d have been otherwise. The only tribute I can give to Mr. Wilcox, by now long dead, is to say, “Thank you for what you gave me and to so many others. Your gift will never be forgotten!”<br /><br /><br /><strong>A SMATTERING OF SOME OF THE SONGS (WITH LYRICS) <br />MR. WILCOX TAUGHT US:</strong><br /><br />EVERY SCHOOL MUSIC PROGRAM SHOULD HAVE THIS (now rare) SONG IN ITS REPERTOIRE:<br /><br /><strong>O BROTHER MAN</strong><br />O brother man, fold to thy heart thy brother;<br />Where pity dwells, the peace of God is there;<br />To worship rightly is to love each other,<br />Each smile a hymn, each kindly deed a prayer…<br /><br />Follow with reverent steps the great example<br />Of Him Whose holy work was doing good;<br />So shall the wide earth seem our Father’s temple,<br />Each loving life a psalm of gratitude.<br /><br />Then shall all shackles fall; the stormy clangor<br />Of wild war music o’er the earth shall cease;<br />Love shall tread out the baleful fire of anger,<br />And in its ashes plant the tree of peace.<br /><br />LORD, MAKE ME AN INSTRMENT OF THY PEACE<br />“Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace. <br />Where there is hatred, let me sow love; <br />Where there is injury, pardon; <br />Where there is doubt, faith; <br />Where there is despair, hope; <br />Where there is darkness, light; <br />Where there is sadness, joy. <br /><br />O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek <br />To be consoled as to console, <br />To be understood as to understand, <br />To be loved as to love; <br /><br />For it is in giving that we receive; <br />It is in pardoning that we are pardoned; <br />It is in dying that we are born to eternal life.” <br /><em>Saint Francis of Assisi</em><br /><br /><strong>THE FLAGS OF ALL AMERICA</strong>The only present reference on the Internet to “The Flags of All America” is in a graduation program from 1956. Why has this song faded from American memory?<br />The Flags of All America”.....................................................Dykema<br />Ref: http://www.classof1956.org/images/gradex1.pdf<br />I’ve reproduced the lyrics we learned here:<br /><br /><strong>The Flags of All America</strong><br /><br />The Flags of all America,<br />‘neath freedom’s shining sun --<br />From northern pines to southern palms<br />Shall ever fly as one…<br />Their clustered banners flying<br />So bravely and on high,<br />Bright emblems of our faith and hope,<br />A rainbow in the skies!<br />Reach out! Reach out! And clasp your neighbor’s hand!<br />March on! March on! A great united band!<br />For youth, triumphant,<br />The clustered banners rise,<br />The symbol of our unity,<br />A rainbow in the skies—<br />A rainbow in the skies!<br /><br /><br /><br />"Drill, Ye Tarriers, Drill!" is an American folk song. The Internet tells us it was first published in 1888, with Thomas Casey’s lyrics later placed to music by Charles Connolly.<br />There are several versions of this folk song –one for the railroad, the other for those working in quarries and mines, which I think is closer to the original setting. I like the version, of course, that I learned, best:<br /><br /> <strong>"Drill, Ye Tarriers, Drill!"</strong>Early in the morning, the boss comes ‘round<br />To chase his men to the quarry ground,<br />For Hard Rock Johnny is a drivin’ lad,<br />And if you don’t hustle, you’ll get in bad—<br />So it’s drill, ye tarriers, drill!<br />(chorus)<br />Drill, ye tarriers, drill!<br />Drill, ye tarriers, drill!<br />Will ye work all day<br />No sugar in your tay,<br />Eight hour stretches, and six hours pay?<br />Then drill, ye tarriers, drill!<br /><br />One day the blast went off too soon<br />‘and blew Dan Dougan nearly up to the moon!<br />Said Dan when he landed, the ride was Okay,<br />But it happened that I wasn’t goin’ that way!<br />So, drill, ye tarriers, drill!<br />(chorus)<br />When payday came, Dan gave a loud snort,<br />What’s this? He cried, I’m a dollar short!<br />Said Hard Rock Johnny, never battin’ an eye.<br />You were docked for the time you spent<br />Up in the sky!<br />So drill, ye tarriers, drill!<br />(chorus)<br /><br />We dared learn a Russian folk song, too, at the height of the Cold War –The Song of the Volga Boatmen—and it sparked my interest in Russian music, Russian literature, and the Russian language. Later, I’d take a course in Russian to help me try to translate cancer research reports written in Russian (I never mastered Russian, unlike Lee H. Oswald, who became proficient in the language, but I knew enough in 1963 to speak to him in Russian. I understood much more than I could actually speak, so I was able to enjoy poetry that he read to me in that language).<br /><br /><br /><strong>Volga Boat Song</strong><br /><br />Yo heave ho!

My classmates were largely Baptists who were wary of Catholicism (I was Catholic). <br /> <br />Panis angelicus<br />fit panis hominum;<br />Dat Panis caelicus<br />figuris terminum<br />O res mirabilis!<br />manducat Dominum<br />Pauper, Pauper<br />servus et humilis<br />Pauper, Pauper<br />servus, servus et humilis<br /><br />---there was an all-instrumental interlude--then, in English:<br /><br />O Lord most Holy, O Lord most Holy<br />O loving Father, Thee, would we be praising always!<br />Help us to know Thee, know Thee and love Thee!<br />Father, Father, grant us Thy truth and grace;<br />Father, Father, guide and defend us.<br />(musical interlude)<br /><br />Rule Thou our willful hearts,<br />Keep Thee our wand’ring thoughts<br />In all our sorrows let us find our rest in Thee<br />And in temptation’s hour, Save through Thy mighty pow’r<br />Thine aid O send us; Hear us in mercy<br />Show us Thy favor -- So shall we live <br />and sing praise to Thee<br />The actual translation from Latin is this:<br />The angelic bread <br />becomes the bread of men; <br />The heavenly bread <br />ends all prefigurations: <br />What wonder! <br />It consumes the Lord <br />[now] a poor and humble servant. <br />Triune God, <br />We beg of you, <br />that you visit us, <br />as we worship you. <br />By your ways, <br />lead us who seek <br />the light in which you dwell. <br />Amen. <br /><br /><br />This Czech folk song made us laugh! There are numerous verses besides these:<br /><br /><strong>Stodily Pumpa</strong><br /><br />Walking at night, along the meadow way.<br />Home from the dance, beside my maiden gay.<br />Walking at night, along the meadow way.<br />Home from the dance, beside my maiden gay, HEY!<br /><br />CHORUS: (sounds like “STOWED-leh POOM-pa!”)<br /><br />Stodily, stodily, stodily pumpa.<br />Stodily pumpa, stodily pumpa.<br />Stodily, stodily, stodily pumpa.<br />Stodily pumpa, pum-pum-pump!<br /><br />Nearing the woods, we heard the nightingale.<br />Sweetly she helped me tell my begging tale.<br />Nearing the woods, we heard the nightingale.<br />Sweetly she helped me tell my begging tale, HEY!<br /><br />CHORUS<br /><br />Many the stars, that light the summer skies,.<br />But none so bright as her two shining eyes,<br />Many the stars, that light the summer skies,.<br />But none so bright as her two shining eyes! HEY!<br />CHORUS<br /><br /> We learned several Negro spirituals, such as “The Old Ark’s a-Moverin’” -- and many Stephen Foster songs such as “Old Black Joe” and “Suwannee River.” <br /> <br />It is impossible to list all the songs we learned. <br />My hope is that someone reading this will eventually be able to contact David Wilcox’s family. <br />They need to know that David Wilcox was more than a great teacher. He exemplified exactly why music should be taught across the world –not just local music, but the music of the nations. Brotherhood, peace, equality, human rights – all these concepts rest in the knowledge that people everywhere have the same fundamental dreams and are basically the same, under the skin. By learning each other's songs, we learn about each other.<br /><br /> No religious teaching should ever include harming another human being in any way. No political system should use violence.<br />Skinheads and hate groups arise due to the neglect of their parents and the violence to which they are exposed. We know that evil poeople --people without a conscience -- do exist in the world, but the vast majority of us should also realize that if nobody follows evil people or obeys their orders, they can do much less harm in the world. Millions of Jews were not killed by Hitler. They were killed by those who obeyed Hitler's suborns.<br /> Music can communicate where words cannot. <br /> An educational system should never deprive a child of a nation's musical heritage. Nor should any chkld be deprived of the music of the nations. <br /><br /> In the mid-twentieth century, a mixture of all kinds of music was available for everyone, via radio and TV. I recall when "Your Hit Parade" carried many different kinds of music in its top hits. <br /><br />Below is a list of the top hits for 1955. I have placed some of these songs in BOLD FACE to demonstrate how different they are from each other:<br /><br />Johnny Ace - Pledging My Love - 03-55 - Duke <br /><strong>The Ames Brothers - My Bonnie Lassie - 10-55 - RCA </strong><br />Les Baxter & His Orchestra - Unchained Melody - 04-55 - Capitol <br />Les Baxter & His Orchestra - Watch The Town And Tell The People - 08-55 - Capitol <br />Boyd Bennett & His Rockets - Seventeen - 08-55 - King <br /><strong>Chuck Berry - Maybelline - 08-55 - Chess </strong>Archie Bleyer - The Naughty Lady Of Shady Lane - 01-55 - Cadence <br />Pat Boone - Two Hearts - 05-55 - Dot <br />Pat Boone - Ain't That A Shame - 07-55 - Dot <br />Pat Boone - At My Front Door (Crazy Little Mama) - 11-55 -Dot <br />David Carroll - Melody Of Love - 02-55 <br />The Cheers - Black Denim Trousers - 10-55 - Capitol <br />Don Cherry - Band Of Gold - 12-55 - Columbia <br /><strong>Nat 'King' Cole - Darling Je Vous Aime Beaucoup - 03-55 - Capitol </strong><br />Nat 'King' Cole - A Blossom Fell/If I May - 05-55 - Capitol <br />Nat 'King' Cole - Forgive My Heart - 11-55 - Capitol <br />Perry Como - Ko Ko Mo (I Love You So) - 02-55 - RCA <br />Perry Como - Tina Marie - 09-55 - RCA <br /><strong>Don Cornell - The Bible Tells Me So - 09-55 - Coral </strong><br /><strong>The Cowboy Church Sunday School - Open Up Your Heart (And Let The Sunshine In) - 02-55 - Decca </strong><br />The Crew-Cuts - Ko Ko Mo (I Love You So) - 02-55 - Mercury <br />The Crew-Cuts - Earth Angel - 02-55 - Mercury <br />The Crew-Cuts - Don't Be Angry - 05-55 - Mercury <br />The Crew-Cuts - A Story Untold - 07-55 - Mercury <br />The Crew -Cuts - Gum Drop - 09-55 - Mercury <br />Alan Dale - Sweet And Gentle - 07-55 - Coral <br />Sammy Davis Jr. - Love Me Or Leave Me - 06-55 - Decca <br /><strong>Sammy Davis Jr. - Something's Gotta Give - 06-55 - Decca </strong><br />Doris Day - I'll Never Stop Loving You - 08-55 - Columbia <br />The DeJohn Sisters - (My Baby Don't Love Me) No More - 01-55 - Epic <br />Johnny Desmond - Play Me Hearts And Flowers (I Wanna Cry) - 04-55 - Coral <br />Johnny Desmond - The Yellow Rose Of Texas - 08-55 - Coral <br />Rusty Draper - The Shifting, Whispering Sands - 10-55 - Mercury <br />The Dream Weavers - It's Almost Tomorrow - 11-55 - Decca <br />Eddie Fisher - Heart - 06-55 - RCA <br />Eddie Fisher - Song Of The Dreamer - 09-55 - RCA <br />The Fontane Sisters - Seventeen - 09-55 - Dot <br />The Fontane Sisters - Daddy-O - 12-55 - Dot <br />Tennessee Ernie Ford - Ballad Of Davy Crockett - 03-55 - Capitol <br /><strong>Tennessee Ernie Ford - Sixteen Tons - 11-55 - Capitol </strong>The Four Aces - Melody Of Love - 02-55 - Decca <br /><strong>The Four Aces - Love Is A Many-Splendored Thing - 09-55 -Decca </strong><br />The Four Lads - Moments To Remember - 09-55 - Columbia <br />Georgia Gibbs - Tweedle Dee - 02-55 - Mercury <br /><strong>Georgia Gibbs - Dance With Me Henry (Wallflower) - 04-55 - Mercury </strong>Barry Gordon - Nuttin' For Christmas - 12-55 - MGM <br />Gogi Grant - Suddenly There's A Valley - 10-55 - Era <br /><strong>Bill Haley & His Comets - Rock Around The Clock - 05-55 - Decca </strong><strong>Roy Hamilton - Unchained Melody - 05-55 - Epic </strong><br />Bill Hayes - The Ballad Of Davy Crockett - 03-55 - Cadence <br />Al Hibbler - Unchained Melody - 04-55 - Decca <br /><strong>Al Hibbler - He - 10-55 - Decca </strong><br />The Hilltoppers - Only You (And You Alone) - 12-55 - Dot <br />Joni James - How Important Can It Be? - 03-55 - MGM <br /><strong>Julius LaRosa - Domani (Tomorrow) - 08-55 - Cadence </strong><br />Giselle Mackenzie - Hard To Get - 07-55 - X <br />Johnny Maddox - The Crazy Otto (Medley) - 02-55 - Dot <br />Dean Martin - Memories Are Made Of This - 12-55 - Capitol <br />The McGuire Sisters - Sincerely - 01-55 - Coral <br />The McGuire Sisters - Something's Gotta Give - 06-55 - Coral <br />The McGuire Sisters - He - 11-55 - Coral <br />Chuck Miller - The House Of Blue Lights - 07-55 - Mercury <br /><strong>Mitch Miller & His Orchestra - The Yellow Rose Of Texas - 08-55 - Columbia </strong><br />Art Mooney & His Orchestra - Honey-Babe - 05-55 - MGM <br />Jaye P.

Rock and roll and hard rock had their own hits. Classical music had its own followers. Country music stations, rock stations, pop stations, classical music stations – rare, indeed were stations covering a wide range. And ‘folk music' became localized to remote areas found in Tennessee, Cajun Country, or mid-Texas.<br /> Traditional music -- old ballads and hymns especially --had nowhere left to go: only at Christmas were some traditional songs pulled from old albums and recycled.<br /> The great mixture of music that existed a half century ago is now missing. Kids are growing up exposed largely to small sectors of music: pop, rap, hip-hop, or rock , with a smattering of classical style music largely acquired through motion pictures and the rare TV special. Only old, Classic movies render any idea of the rich variety of orchestral music that was once available on radio sations across the world.<br /><br /> As youth are isolated culturally, because they listen to only a few types of music, they may react to music from other races, nations or religions as being weird, strange, alien, or unacceptably foreign. It then becomes more difficult for them to understand that we are all really the same, under the skin. We who are older know that people do get corrupted by clever, evil leaders and authority figures, who bend youth to blindly follow their teachings and propaganda, but without exposure to the world's music, it becomes more difficult for our youth to resist evil teachings. <br /> Does anyone believe that Skinheads would attack Roma in Czechoslavakia if they had grown up listening to Roma music and had Roma for friends? Isolating people from each other only entrenches prejudices. When Christians were persecuted, they went into the catacombs, as a once-dear friend reminded me. here they became more powerful than ever.<br /> This is why sanctions against Cuba, North Korea, Iran, Zimbabwe or the former nation of Burma don't work. Ordinary people suffer, not their leaders, as their leaders cling harder than ever to their evil principles. Economic sanctions do not allow communication. It was through the opening of communications with China that china began to change into a country with more freedoms for its peoples. What influence would we have on China to moderate its economic policies if China had been isolated from the rest of the world? <br /><br /> In countries living under sanctions, change rarely occurs. only when sanctions are lifted do changes take place: the people see what others have and demand changes, even as new, fresh blood enters into those once-forbidden domains. With communication, change for good can take place. <br /><br />I need provide only a single recent example to make my point. The following excerpt is from <em>The New York Times</em><br /><br /><strong>North Koreans Welcome Symphonic Diplomacy</strong>By DANIEL J. WAKIN<br />Published: February 27, 2008 <br />PYONGYANG, North Korea — As the New York Philharmonic played the opening notes of “Arirang,” a beloved Korean folk song, a murmur rippled through the audience. Many in the audience perched forward in their seats.<br /><br />The piccolo played a long, plaintive melody. Cymbals crashed, harp runs flew up, the violins soared. And tears began forming in the eyes of the staid audience, row upon row of men in dark suits, women in colorful high-waisted dresses called hanbok and all of them wearing pins with the likeness of Kim Il-sung, the nation’s founder.<br /><br />And right there, the Philharmonic had them. The full-throated performance of a piece deeply resonant for both North and South Koreans ended the historic concert in this isolated nation on Tuesday in triumph. <br /><br />...The audience applauded for more than five minutes, and orchestra members, some of them crying, waved. People in the seats cheered and waved back, reluctant to let the visitors leave.<br /><br />“Was that an emotional experience!” said Jon Deak, a bass player, backstage moments after the concert had ended. “It’s an incredible joy and sadness and connection like I’ve never seen. They really opened their hearts to us.”<br /><br />The “Arirang” rendition...was part of a program carefully constructed to showcase the orchestra and its tradition. A State Department official who accompanied Zarin Mehta, the orchestra’s president, on a planning trip to Pyongyang, the North’s capital, last year suggested that “Arirang” be played, Mr. Mehta said.<br /><br />---Ref: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/27/world/asia/27symphony.html<br /><br /> Music is the world's language, along with the visual arts, crossing all national barriers. Music is the language that can reach all people, changing their thinking. Music allows us to understand each other over decades and ages and centuries. Thus, music is one of the major keys to promoting peace.<br /><br /> It behooves us to support music programs in our schools; it is wise to support music programs that focus on the music of all nations and cultures. It is just a little step toward a more peaceful world for all of us, but every step in the right direction is a step away from war and suffering.<br /><br />It is my hope that the wise, eclectic and generous spirit that guided Mr. Wilcox in his broad selection of songs and melodies that crossed all ages, peoples and cultures will provide a vibrant example of what music can do to promote peace in our times.<br /><br />JVBUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8973932098809371053.post-10260617787998209822010-06-26T15:03:00.000-07:002010-06-26T15:52:23.918-07:00THE WHITE ROOF PAPER<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXqRZ3pVUHgRI-C1SrqxiTsROIj2M7sXjRLNpeZPjL7-LpgRx341JOPoHhks_N05kwiSDgMpeuWv4Uaj4OM9Fg1sPtDM7MXwLLrGsT40-eQhFPPXwolYHuMHbXJIE0atrLEYvbyKDFqWI/s1600/sweden+in+spring+2010.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXqRZ3pVUHgRI-C1SrqxiTsROIj2M7sXjRLNpeZPjL7-LpgRx341JOPoHhks_N05kwiSDgMpeuWv4Uaj4OM9Fg1sPtDM7MXwLLrGsT40-eQhFPPXwolYHuMHbXJIE0atrLEYvbyKDFqWI/s400/sweden+in+spring+2010.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5487215700476930306" /></a><br />-----------------------------------------------------------------<br />Sweden is achieving a true balance between humans and nature.<br /><br /><strong> THE WHITE ROOF PAPER </strong><br /><strong>A single page of action you can print & share to help Mother Earth and People to get Along Better. Improve it, print it out and pass it on! </strong><br /><strong>THE WHITE ROOF IDEA</strong>: For sunny climes: Install white or light roofs . Replace or repaint dark roofs. Dark roofs absorb heat. White roofs reflect heat off the planet. Paint things white. <br /><strong>THE THICK WALL IDEA:</strong> Build with thick walls able to withstand heat, cold & high wind.<br /><strong>THE LIGHT ROAD IDEA</strong>: In all climes, use light-colored materials for paving. Asphalt pollutes. Dark pavement acts as hot wires in car windows that melt ice—overheating cities and parking lots. <br /><strong>BURY UTILITIES: </strong> Bury utility lines & pipes, reducing outages from storms, live wire hazards & animal deaths, while saving tree litter and fallen trees costs. Ends need for wooden utility poles. <br /><strong>THE CISTERN IDEA:</strong> Have your city create covered cisterns to gather runoff water to provide drought insurance & water for public & private gardens, trees, game fields &parks.<br /><strong>THE RAIN BARREL IDEA: </strong> Provide strong, covered rain barrels for homes, apartments & buildings to collect rainwater for lawns, gardens, ponds, fountains, & pools. <br /><strong>THE PAPER PRINTING IDEA:</strong> Use both sides of the paper for printing whenever possible.<br /><strong>THE COLOR-CODE IDEA:</strong> Use color-coded sacks and containers to recycle, world-wide. Example: Red = dangerous materials (batteries, poisons, chemicals, etc.). Green = compostables.<br /><strong>INSTALL DOUBLE-WINDOWS</strong>: Require your government to allow only double-glazed windows & efficient insulation in new construction. Make cheap insulation kits available for older buildings.<br /><strong>INSTALL MODERN TOILETS</strong>: Install 2-button toilets (uses less water for liquid waste).<br /><strong>THE CO2 ABSORPTION IDEA</strong>: Make your city require all new construction & paving to set aside an equal area (on-site or close by) for trees and/or install adequate CO2 absorption towers.<br /><strong>GREEN ROOFTOPS</strong>: ALL urban buildings must cover 50% of rooftops with solar panels and/or plants. <br /><strong>THE FINANCIAL SUPPORT IDEA</strong>: Make a list of clean, green companies & buy from them.<br /><strong>SHOP & WALK</strong>: Have your city create free parking areas with handicap-friendly bike/walk shopping zones. Put bike lanes on roads & highways. (See below, for surface ideas.)<br /><strong>SMOKE EMISSION CONTROL</strong>: Smoke emissions from factories,trucks & cars will be fined.<br /><strong>THE AIR CONDITIONER IDEA</strong>: Have commercial buildings re-route heat from air conditioners into hot water heating systems & electric generators. <br /><strong>YOU CAN DO MORE</strong>!<br /> (1) Use windmills and geothermal energy whenever possible. (2) Place pipes under long drives & pavement to heat water. (3) Duct heat from clothes dryers, freezers & refrigerators into water heaters. (4) Lay brick instead of pavement over utility lines and pipes buried under/across roads, thus easy to find & repair, reducing road repair time/repaving/traffic delays. (5) Boycott products raised on destroyed rainforest acreage. Boycott meat from mass feedlots. (6) Buy “free-roam” eggs & poultry. (7) Eat no big fish, incl. whale, shark & dolphin. (8) Set aside nature preserves in your area. (9) Protect natural predators for wildlife health & control. (10) Ban all wild animal products. (11) Buy organic foods. (12) Plant varieties of trees instead of uni-culturing them. (13) Teach ecology & conservation in schools. (14) Teach children how to grow organic foods. (15) Phase out coal use. <br />(16) Use big signs showing O2, CO2 & CO levels in high motor traffic areas. (16) Recycle chopped plastic & tire bits into low-impact pavements for sidewalks, bike trails, roads and filter runoff water through natural filters. For fun: use the ampersand (“&”) in informal printing to save paper. <em>YOU CAN LEARN TO LIVE IN PEACE WITH ONE ANOTHER IF YOU CAN LEARN TO LIVE IN PEACE WITH NATURE</em>.

KENNEDY WAS MURDERED BY A CABAL IN HIS OWN GOVERNMENT</strong>, WHICH HAD TO BE COVERED UP.<br />THE INTERNET'S FANCY WEBSITES SAYING LEE OSWALD 'DID IT' NOTWITHSTANDING, ON YOUTUBE, IN BOOKS, AND IN FILMS WE NOW CAN SEE FOR OURSELVES --IN BOOKS SUCH AS DOUG HORNE'S <em><strong>INSIDE THE ARRB</strong></em>-- WE LEARN THAT LEE HARVEY OSWALD WAS, JUST AS HE CLAIMED, A PATSY, AND THAT THE MEDICAL EVIDENCE AND THE ZAPRUDER FILM WERE ALTERED TO HIDE THE TRUTH: KENNEDY WAS MURDERED IN A CONSPIRACY. PERIOD. <br />I SPOKE OUT IN 1999 ABOUT OSWALD'S INNOCENCE. <br />BAD MISTAKE. <br />I NOW HAVE BAD HEALTH AFTER SEVERAL 'ACCIDENTS' THAT TAUGHT ME TO STAY AWAY FROM DRIVING CARS. <br />I WAS FINGERPRINTED FOUR TIMES IN ARIZONA. IMAGINE WHAT MY BOSS THOUGHT OF THAT.<br />I NOW OWN NOTHING AND MUST LIVE OVERSEAS FOR MY SAFETY.<br />THE HISTORY CHANNEL DOESN'T WANT TO BE PUNISHED.<br />THE HISTORY CHANNEL WANTS TO KEEP GOING, EVEN IF IT MEANS CREATING FAKE HISTORY AND CENSORING THE TRUTH.<br />SO.......<br />APPARENTLY UNDER ORDERS, THE HISTORY CHANNEL, WHICH BANNED "THE MEN WHO KILLED KENNEDY" SERIES IN 2003 AFTER NIGEL TURNER BROUGHT OUT THE TRUTH IN THE <strong>BANNED EPISODES 7-8-9 (INCLUDING THE TRUTH ABOUT ME AND LEE -- 'THE LOVE AFFAIR - BAKER' </strong>HAD TO PRODUCE A DAMNING SERIES AGAINST THE KENNEDY FAMILY.<br />AFTER ALL, WE MUSTN'T HAVE THE PEOPLE FEELING BADLY ABOUT TEIR SLAIN PRESIDENT.<br />SINCE THE PEOPLE ARE NOW BECOMING FULLY AWARE THAT THEIR GVERNMENT KILLED THE KENNEDYS.<br />------<br />THE HISTORY CHANNEL HAD TO SELL OUT.<br />AFTER ALL, MONEY TALKS.<br /> <strong>SO IT IS NOW IMPERATIVE THAT THE KENNEDY FAMILY, NAME AND LEGACY BE BLOTTED OUT BY THE HISTORY CHANNEL. </strong>IN ITS ONGOING CAMPAIGN TO MAKE SURE IT GETS ENOUGH HUSH $$$$$$$ TO PROSPER.<br /> JUST AS THE CORRUPT SIXTH FLOOR MUSEUM IN DALLAS MAKES ITS BIG BUCKS BY CLAIMING OSWALD SHOT FROM THAT WINDOW (OH, THE WINDOW ITSELF IS BLOCKED OFF SO YOU CAN'T CHECK IT OUT FOR YOURSELF).<br />OF CURSE, THE 6TH FLOOR MUSEUM WILL NOT SELL BOOKS OR SPEAK OF ANY OF THE THINGS YOU CAN FIND EASILY ON YOUTUBE THAT PROVE OSWALD'S INOCENCE. YOU HAVE TO GO OUTSIDE, ON THE STREETS, TO HEAR THE TRUTH FROM THE RESEARCHERS WHO KNOW THE TRUTH.<br />YOU HAVE TO LSTEN TO THE PEOPLE'S VOICES.<br /> SO NOW THE HISTORY CHANNEL MUST, MUST, MUST DEFILE THE KENNEDY NAME.<br /> IF POSSIBLE, FOREVER. <br />SHAME ON YOU, HISTORY CHANNEL! <br />BETTER NAMED, INDEED, 'HATCHET JOB CHANNEL' !<br />ONE THING I'VE LEARNED FROM LIVING OVERSEAS--THE LEADERS OF NATIONS ARE AGGRESSIVE, STRONG, ATTRACTIVE PEOPLE WITH STRONG DRIVES. JACK KENNEDY WAS TAKING STEROIDS AND OTHER MEDICATIONS THAT PROPELLED HIS WOMANIZING TO NEW HEIGHTS. THIS ALSO MAY HAVE HELPED HIM DEFY THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF HIS GENERALS, WHO ADVOCATED USING NUCLEAR WEAPONS AGAINST CUBA AND, IF NECESSARY, AS AN ANSWER TO THE BERLIN WALL. <br />HOW WE WISH POOR PRESIDENT OBAMA HAD NOT BEEN TAKEN TO THE WOODSHED AND TOLD WHAT HAPPENS TO PRESIDENTS WO DO NOT TOE THE LINE.<br />I CAN'T BLAME HIM.<br />U.S. PRESIDENTS HAVE BEEN IN BONDAGE TO THE SPIES AND SECRET AGENCIES THAT DECIDE HOW LONG A PRESIDENT CAN LIVE. <br />THAT 40,000,000 AMERICANS, THREE TIMES AS MANY RUSSIANS, AND GOD KNOWS HOW MANY MORE, WOULD HAVE BEEN WIPED OUT HAD GENERAL CABELL,GENERAL LEMAY AND CIA DIRECOR ALLEN DULLES HAD THEIR WAYS (GEE, THEY EVEN PUT DULLES ON THE WARREN COMMISSION THAT SAID 'OSWALD DID IT' --....WONDER WHY?!)-- WE WOULD NOT HAVE CIVILIZATION AS WE KNOW IT WERE IT NOT FOR JACK KENNEDY AND HIS BROTHER BOBBY--BOTH OF THEM, OF COURSE, DISPATCHED BY ASSASSINATIONS. <br />SINCE THEIR DEATHS, THE U.S. HAS BEEN PLUNGED INTO:<br />THE VIETNAM WAR<br />THE GULF WAR<br />THE IRAQ WAR<br />THE AFGHANISTAN WAR<br />COUPS AND OVERTHROWS OF GOVERNMENTS WORLDWIDE.<br />AND COUNTLESS OTHER INTERVENTIONS AND MEDDLINGS, AS WELL AS SELLING WAR WEAPONS ACROSS THE GLOBE AND BANKRUPTING ORDINARY AMERICANS BY EITHER KILLING OFF THEIR MEN AND IMPOVERISHING THE LEFT-BEHIND FAMILIES, OR BY ALLOWING THE BANKS AND BIG COMPANIES, HEALTH INSURANCE AND PHARMA MEGACOMPANIES, TO DESTROY THE AMERICAN DREAM, WHILE RUINING THE LIVES OF MILLIONS. <br />PEACE IN OUR TIME COULD HAVE COME WITH JOHN F. KENNEDY.<br />INSTEAD, WE GOT LYNDON B. JOHNSON. <br />KNOWN TO HIS FRIENDS AS "LYING LYNDON."<br />WE'D LIKE IT IF THE HISTORY CHANNEL WOULD TELL THE TRUTH ABOUT HIM.<br />WHEN THE HISTORY CHANNEL <strong>TELLS THE TRUTH </strong>ABOUT JOHNSON, HIS PAL NIXON, THEIR PALS BILLY SOL ESTES, AND BOBBY BAKER, GEORGE BUSH SR., AND CIA SUCCESSOR GEORGE H.W. BUSH--WHO THEN WAS ABLE TO THRUST HIS SMILING SON INTO POSITION TO DO YET MORE DAMAGE--THEN WE WILL HAVE A REAL 'HISTORY' CHANNEL --<strong>IF</strong>--AND--<br />IF--<br />-- IT'S A BIG 'IF'--IF THEY WILL RE-MAKE THE KENNEDY FAMILY MINI-SERIES, TO BALANCE THE EVIL THEY HAVE PROMULGATED WITH THE GOOD --FOR THE SERIES IS CURRENTLY REPLETE WITH EVERY POSSIBLE NEGATIVE, TO THE POINT OF CARICATURE--MAYBE THE DAMAGE CAN BE UNDONE.<br />THE HISTORY CHANNEL DOESN'T TELL YOU THAT JOHN KENNEDY WAS A PATRIOT.<br />GOD FORBID, THAT PEOPLE WILL REGRET HIS MURDER IN COLD BLOOD.<br /><strong>WHY DID THIS RICH AND POWERFUL SENATOR KENNEDY, AND HIS BROTHER BOBBY, RUN FOR OFFICE? </strong>THEY <em>DIDN'T DO IT FOR THE MONEY.</em> JOHN KENNEDY DIDN'T SIGN UP TO BE ON PT-109 JUST FOR THE FUN OF IT. THESE YOUNG MEN CARED ABOUT THEIR COUNTRY AND SERVED THEIR FELLOW AMERICANS. BECAUSE THEY CARED AND COULD NOT BE BOUGHT OFF, THEY WERE MURDERED BY THEIR OWN GVERNMENT. IF YOU BELIEVE OTHERWISE, YOU HAVE FALLEN FOR THE "OFFICIAL VERSION." IT'S AS RELIABLE AS STORIES ABOUT SANTA CLAUS. <br />ON WIKIPEDIA, WE COULD NOT PLACE A SINGLE POSITIVE, TRUE COMMENT ABOUT LEE OSWALD INTO THE OFFICIAL BIOGRAPHY. THEY WOULD NOT ALLOW A BREATH TO BE SPOKEN ABOUT SUCH A SIMPLE MATTER AS <em>OSWALD'S HAVING EARNED HIS GED WHILE IN THE MARINES</em>. THEY ONLY STATED THAT HE WAS A HIGH SCHOOL DROPOUT. SO LONG AS HISTORY CAN BE REVISED TO SUIT THE TASTE OF THOSE WHO KILLED KENNEDY--AND THE MINIONS THEY HAVE SET UP--WE WLL HAVE TORTURE, WE WILL HAVE BAD FOOD, BAD WATER, BAD AIR, HIGH UNEMPLOYMENT, PROBLEMS WITH WAR AND MUCH MORE.<br />KENNEDY STARTED THE PEACE CORPS. HE STATED PULLING TROOPS BACK FROM VIETNAM. HE HAD BEGUN SECRET ALKS WITH BOTH KRUSHCHEV AND CASTRO TO DEVELOP PEACE. HE STOPPED THE NUCLEAR PROLIFERATION THAT THREATENED TO KILL US. HE STOPPED ABOVE-GROUND TESTING OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS THAT WAS POISONING OUR AIR AND OUR FOOD AND WATER. KENNEDY'S NAME, THOUGH, MUST BE SMEARED. <br /><strong>OTHERWISE, PEOPLE MIGHT CARE TOO MUCH THAT THE GOVERNMENT KILLED HIM AND HIS BROTHER.</strong>HOW DIFFERENT IT IS TODAY. THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT IS UP FOR THE HIGHEST BIDDER WITH THE NEW SUPREME COURT RULING THAT ALLOWS COMPANIES TO GIVE UNTIL IT HURTS TO GET THEIR CANDIDATES IN OFFICE. I'M ASHAMED OF THE SUPREME COURT. I'M ASHAMED OF THE WARS AMERICAN POLICY HAS FOISTED ON THE WORLD. MOST OF ALL, I'M ASHAMED THAT THE 'HISTORY' CHANNEL REWRITES HISTORY--JUST ANOTHER BOUGHT-AND-SOLD VOICE IN THE MEDIA, WHICH ITSELF REVEALS THE DEPTH OF CORRUPTION IN WHAT WAS ONCE A GREAT NATION.<br />IT IS NOT THE PEOPLE WHO DID THIS--THE LIES THE PEOPLE WERE TOLD HAVE RUINED THEIR FAUITH IN THEIR CUNTRY.<br /> <strong>I WEEP FOR MY COUNTRY!</strong><br />HERE'S WHAT HAPPENED AFTER THE KENNEDYS WERE SLAIN:<br />LYNDON JOHNSON CAME INTO OFFICE WITH A WINK AND A GRIN (SEE 'THE WINK' ON AIR FORCE ONE). HE GAVE THE GENERALS THEIR VIETNAM WAR. HE DID NOT RUN FOR OFFICE AGAIN BECAUSE IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN FUND OUT, THROUGH CAMPAIGNING FOR OFFICE, FROM RIVALS, THAT HE KNEW JFK WAS GOING TO DIE, AND DID NOTHING T STOP IT. SEE TMWKK BANNED DOCMENTARY, 'THE GUILTY MEN' FOR DETAILS.<br />NEXT CAME OUR BELOVED PRESIDENT 'TRICKY DICK' NIXON.<br />IN THE NEWLY CORRUPTED U.S.A., HIS ORDERING THEFTS AND HIDING EVIDENCE RESULTED IN THE FIRST PRESIDENT EVER TO RESIGN FROM OFFICE. IN UTTER DISGRACE. THE VIETNAM WAR HAD MADE TEXANS RICH...AND DURING NIXON'S REIGN,THE CONSTITUTION WAS SUBTLY CHANGED --TO ALLOW A PRESIDENT (EVEN ONE IN DISGRACE, WHO WAS RESIGNING FOR CORRUPTION) TO APPOINT A VICE PRESIDENT. YES, IT WAS CHANGED, BECAUSE NIXON WAS SO UNPOPULAR THAT A PRESIDENT SUCH AS HIM COULD NOT TRUST THE PEOPLE TO GO TO THE POLLS ABOUT IT. THE CORRUPT GOVERNMENT WANTED TO REPLACE NIXON, BUT IT HAD TO BE A YES-MAN THEY COULD TRUST.<br /> UNFORTUNATELY FOR NIXON, HIS 'YES-MAN' SPIRO AGNEW HAD TO RESIGN, TOO--ALSO FOR CORRUPTION! SO A CERTAIN GERALD FORD WAS APPOINTED BY NIXON AFTER A CRAFTY CHANGE IN THE CONSTITUTION WAS MADE. WHO WAS THAT MAN?<br />HE WAS ON THE WARREN COMMISSION. <br />HE TOLD PEOPLE THAT THE BULLET THAT HIT KENNEDY IN THE BACK HIT HIM IN THE NECK SO OSWALD COULD BE BLAMED.<br />THE ANGLE AT THE BACK JUST DIDN'T MATCH A SHOT FROM THE 6TH FLOOR WINDOW--THE ANGLE WAS TOO STEEP. SO FORD CHANGED IT. <br />HE SUPPORTED THE MAGIC BULLET, TOO. HIS REWARD/ HE BECAME THE FIRST PRESIDENT IN AMERICAN HISTORY WHO CAME INTO OFFICE BY APPOINTMENT--THE FIRST IN HISTORY WHO HAD NOT BEEN ELECTED AS VICE PRESIDENT, EITHER.<br />SUCH WAS THE LEVEL OF CORRUPTION.<br />AND OVER THE YEARS, IT JUST GOT WORSE.<br />THE AMERICAN PEOPLE BLED AND BLED. <br />THEY WORKED HARD. <br />THEY TRIED SO HARD TO GET THEIR DREAMS.<br />SO THEY HAD TO BE BLED.<br />AGAIN AND AGAIN, IN EVERY WAY POSSIBLE.<br />WORRY A PEOPLE ENOUGH WITH WARS, AND ECONOMIC PROBLEMS, AND THEY WILL NOT REVOLT. THEY WILL CLING TO THEIR LEADERS. "YOU DO NOT CHANGE HORSES MIDSTREAM" AS THE SAYING GOES....SO WAR UPON WAR, AMERICA DID CLING TO HER LEADERS.<br />BUT EVEN THE TRUSTING AMERICAN PUBLIC HAS BEGUN TO SEE THE LIGHT.<br />MAYBE, SOMEDAY, I CAN SAFELY RETURN TO MY COUNTRY AND SEE MY GRANDCHILDREN BEFORE I DIE.<br />MAYBE THEY WILL BE PROUD OF ME, INSTEAD OF EXPRESSING SHAME THAT I CARED ABOUT "THE KILLER" OSWALD--AN AMERICAN PATRIOT WHO WE NOW KNOW, FROM BOOKS SUCH AS <strong><em>JFK </em><em>AND THE UNSPEAKABLE</em>,</strong> BY JAMES DOUGLASS, -- NOW YOU KNOW I WAS TELLING THE TRUTH WHEN I SAID OSWALD TRIED, AS I HAVE TESTIFIED--TO SAVE PRESIDENT KENNEDY.<br />THEREFORE, HE HAD TO BE SILENCED.<br />BRUTALLY.<br />MURDERED ON NATIONAL TELEVISION, THE FIRST LIVE MURDER.<br />THAT'S HOW DESPERATE THEY WERE TO MAKE SURE HE NEVER TALKED.<br />MAYBE ONE DAY, I CAN RETURN TO THE USA.<br />MAYBE I WILL BE ABLE TO LIVE THERE IN SAFETY AND PEACE, EVEN THOUGH I SPOKE OUT AND LOST EVERYTHING I HAD, EVEN FAMILY MEMBERS (GOD BLESS THOSE WHO HAVE STOOD AT MY SIDE!).<br />IT IS MY OWN SPECIAL HOPE AND DREAM.<br /> I AM JUDYTH VARY BAKER. I KNEW AND LOVED LEE HARVEY OSWALD. <strong>MY BOOK, ME & LEE </strong>-- JUST AS OTHER BOOKS TELLING THE TRUTH ABOUT HOW KENNEDY WAS MURDERED AND WHY LEE OSWALD CANNOT BE BLAMED FOR IT--WILL NEVER, EVER BE REVIEWED IN A POSITIVE MANNER BY THE MEDIA--NOR WILL PUBLISHER'S WEEKLY EVER RECOMMEND IT. WITHOUT THE INTERNET, THE TRUTH MIGHT WELL HAVE BEEN BURIED. BUT BECAUSE OF Y-O-U, THE READER, WE DO HAVE HOPE FOR THE FUTURE. GO TO YOUTUBE AND VIEW FILMS --BEGINNING WITH ROGER CRAIG, WHO SUPPOSEDLY KILLED HIMSELF --DO I BELIEVE THAT? NOPE--SEE WHAT GIL JESUS HAS DONE--AND SEE THE BANNED TMWKK EPISODES 7-8-9. LEARN THE TRUTH.<br />FINALLY, BOYCOTT THE 'HATCHET JOB' CHANNEL!<br /> PLEASE VISIT HTTP://WWW.JUDYTHVARYBAKER.COM AND CONSIDER A DONATION OR PURCHASING MY BOOK, TO HELP KEEP ME SAFER AND THE TRUTH COMING YOUR WAY. I NEVER DREAMED I'D HAVE TO ASK FOR DONATONS, BUT THESE ARE HARD TIMES, AND AMERICANS ARE NOT ALOWED TO WORK IN EUROPE. I WAS SHELTERED IN THE EU POLITICAL ASYLUM SYSTEM FOR OVER TEN MONTHS, AND MY FAMILY SACRIFICED GREATLY TO HELP ME OBTAIN TWO PLACES TO LIVE--ONE IN THE EU, THE OTHER OUTSIDE IT--SO I CAN LIVE LEGALLY THREE MONTHS IN EACH LOCATION. BUT TRAVEL TO EACH IS EXPENSIVE AND TAKES EVERY IOTA OF SAVINGS. OTHER NEEDS THEN GO UNFILLED, SUCH AS NEW GLASSES, AND MEDICINE. FEW HAVE THE ABILITY TO HELP, I KNOW -- THE SUFFERINGS SO MANY AMERICANS ARE NDERGOING RIGHT NOW BREAKS MY HEAT--BUT EVERY LITTLE BIT HELPS KEEP THE LIGHTS ON. AT NEARLY 67, AND UNABLE TO LIVE SAFELY IN THE U.S. YOU ARE MY HOPE TO STAY ON THE NET, WHICH ALONE COSTS ME OVER $100, NOT CUNTING ENORMOUS ELECTRICITY BILLS.<br />GOD BLESS YOU ALL.<br />JVB<br /><br />JVBUnknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8973932098809371053.post-44449628982853950442009-12-29T03:29:00.000-08:002009-12-29T03:39:28.283-08:00WHY I FEAR FOR MY COUNTRY...original blog by "JACK RABBIT" -- READ IT AND ASK WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR YOUR CUNTRY!Judyth Vary Baker is providing this copy of a blog from another writer --"Jack Rabbit" because the entire post and the comments after it are enlightening -- and worth a good re-reading. A few comments precede "Jack Rabbit's" blog entry. <br /><br /><br />12.26.2009<br />Why I Fear for my Country <br />For the first time I'm scared. I mean really scared. For the first time in my lifetime it looks like America may actually be coming to an end. <br /><br />As I traveled over the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays I payed special attention to the public. At gas stations and shopping centers - I took the time to observe. We are doomed. These people have nothing, know nothing, and are not interested. Talk about rabble.<br /><br />(PEOPLE ARE LOSING HOPE. JVB)<br /><br />As I spoke to members of my family at holiday celebrations - about topics foreign to me - like what's going on with their favorite TV show... my heart sank. No hope.<br /><br />As I browsed the web to see the most recent joke of a terrorist attack - just enough not to cause property damage but just enough to scare the cringing American soccer-moms - I just stared. The conversation in the background continued - I didn't participate.<br /><br />America is presently doomed. I've not even had the energy to do much blogging - since the words seem to fall on a mass of sheep intent on filling their stomachs. These are not citizens - they are consumers - oblivious to the death and destruction spread in their names.<br /><br />(IN AMERICA,FOOD AND WATER IS LITERALLY SICKENING. IT IS DIFFICULT TO FIND PURE WATER AND UNCONTAMINATED FOOD. I REMEMBER WELL THAT WHEN I LIVED IN NORWAY, CHERNOBYL'S RADIAITION AFFECTED THE SALMON THERE AND THEY WERE CONDEMNED. THE NORWEGIANS WERE NOT ALLOWED TO EAT THE RADIOACTIVE SALMON. SO THE SALMON WERE SOLD TO US CANNERIES! MY PEOPLE IN AMERICA ARE LOADED WITH MSG, ASPARTAME AND OTHER MIND-DESTROYING ADDITIVES. IF IT IS TRUE THAT FLOURIDE WAS USED TO CONTROL PRISONERS DURING WWII to destroy their will to fight back, maybe this is why the american people let the media lie to them, their government lie to them, and let themselves be financially and mentally made impotent--while paying for 'wars' that make a few of them rich and the rest of them in debt for the next three generations.)<br /><br />The American citizen has become a penniless tool of credit card companies - unable to perform their duty as citizen since they cannot collect enough brain energy to grasp the mind-fuck under which they live. They live for a few moments between jobs - or rides to their children's activities, while monsters blow their still-uncollected tax money on expensive robot-drones used to kill "terrorists" - whatever they are. Ask an American what a terrorist is - you might as well ask a cinderblock.<br /><br />We need a plan, leadership, and decisive action to save America. Our leaders have failed us. Many are being blackmailed. Unless those of us with the answers are taken seriously in public and supported this country is gone. <br /><br />But maybe I'm wrong - that there really are Americans out there. That there are people who understand that anyone pretending that they have the power to take away their rights is a traitor and an enemy. <br /><br />In the coming year it will be of the utmost importance to educate, invigorate and galvanize all. The American public is up against an organized force of thieves, liars and power-hungry oligarchs with the means, motive and opportunity to take everything. But what does it matter?<br /><br />Our Bill of Rights is the only thing we have right now. There is absolutely no respect given to the Constitution of the United States - Why? Why when we have a so-called constitutional scholar in the White House? Perhaps the best way to undermine the Constitution is with someone who understands it best. And I've concluded from my holiday observations that no one is looking out for the American citizen regarding the Constitution of the United States. Especially not the American citizen. No - they cling to their belief that "somebody cares" - or maybe they are so ignorant of the theft of the only thing they have that matters - unique in time - and unique in world history - their Bill of Rights and Constitution - ...<br /><br />I am concerned that the media is useless providing zero feedback to the population so elections can work. I am concerned that our elections are stolen - by companies who can give a paper receipt for a bank transaction at an ATM but not at the election booth. I am concerned that we have mercenary armies raping and pillaging half the planet with our money but not representing our ideals. I am concerned that our elected representatives, blackmailed, are using mercenaries to continue wars that have no support here in the United States. I am concerned that false-flag operations are constantly used, with the support of a phony news media - to stampede the American public into actions contrary to their freedoms. That's treason by the way.<br /><br />For the first time in my life I've heard stable even-tempered adults discussing violent revolution. How crazy is that? Is that what it is going to take?<br /><br />Where is the FBI on 911 Truth? AWOL. Our insane alphabet-soup agencies, CIA, NSA and the rest of them are simply a bunch of robotic brainwashed idiots - running around the world sticking their noses in everyone else's business - then when their nation-building antics backfire - we, the American public, are supposed to sit here and accept the police state required to maintain this madness. How about no? <br /><br />How about no more prisons? How about no more cops running around with automatic rifles in this "land of the free and home of the brave?" How about some real change we can believe in?<br /><br />Obama is a fraud, a liar, and as far as I am concerned a traitor. He is a one-world government con-artist with no respect for what America really stands for. He is a front-man for a group of con-artists - troops to Yemen, Columbia, Pakistan - continue the war in Afghanistan, Iraq, saber-rattling toward Iran. Is this clown for real? Why doesn't he declare war on the North Pole? Or is that a coming attraction?<br /><br />Here in Charlottesville, Virginia we've recently been buried under a blanket of snow too high to drive through with most Jeeps. The entire town crippled - couldn't plow our own roads. What if Al Quaida attacked then? People were stuck in their cars overnight - no emergency crews could reach them. Yeah - we are really a superpower. Meanwhile our military is deployed the world over to save everything. <br /><br />2010 must be the year of the plan. We need leadership, ideas and action. We need to shit-can our members of the House of Representatives - the first place to look - who don't know what a Bill of Rights is. We need to kick out anybody trampling on that Bill of Rights. Then we need to start working out from there.<br /><br />Our dysfunctional House of Representatives is the starting line - the first place to focus all actions. And we need them to tackle the big issues - like 911 Truth and these phony wars. Anybody using the term "War on Terror" needs to be fired - period.<br /><br />I guess I've ranted enough - I just hope some of this sank in.

I thought this might make my fellow citizens realize that instead of being more prepared to face the boogieman we are completely vulnerable in the most basic ways.

He probably thinks your honest analysis of the state of the USA is somehow anti-American because the indoctrination program runs 24/7. My stomach churns when some ex-jock football announcer says, "And we thank our troops in 177 nations for protecting freedom." To explain the irony of that statement would render a response akin to, "If ya hate America, then leave it!" I don't hate America but I left it over a quarter-century ago. I hate what America has become because of the examples you gave and the first response you received. I can only hope that some peaceful (r)evolution takes hold back home and a real multi-party democratic republic replaces the Oligarchical farce.

Roughly 55-60% of the population believe the media hype, whatever it is, and give up their rights for "safety" reasons, then go watch sports on their bigscreen or watch the new hollywood movie that shows us just how the world really works and think that it's just the way of the past and now that it has been pointed out it won't happen again. If these terrorists really wanted to stop imperialism they might pick a target like the G20 or copenhagen or something. <br />Of the rest of the people that are concerned, they find that if they talk about things like the government overthrows of nearly all of africa and south america in the last century, they are labeled as crazy nuts and probably get put on terror watch lists. There are plenty of people that know whats going on, at least 15-20% of the population, but for the reasons stated you won't find many that will talk about it and you won't take much notice of them because they are uninterested in the pop brainwash culture and will just take care of their own business for now. Those people you see that are quietly going about their business are the people that know whats going on besides those labeled whackos.<br /><br />December 27, 2009 5:09 AM <br />Anonymous said... <br />At least we in England are moving to indite Bliar for war crimes - self admitted war crimes, the arrogant B.

Please know that there are some out here that have not had this fall on deaf ears.<br />When government sanctioned rebels attack villages in 3rd world countries, what do the villagers do? They run and hide because they know they will be destroyed. They don't want to be destroyed. When government sanctioned tyrants in 1st world countries attack the survival of its citizens, what do the citizens do? They hide because they know their families will be destroyed. They don't want their families destroyed.<br />What do all these have in common? Fear! It is fear that is instilled into the common people by some government sanctioned entity. Anywhere in the world, they find something that the people in the area do not want to lose and attach fear to it.<br />I resent the statements that all of American people are complicit in the fear-mongering. We do what the government says due to fear of what will happen to our families (extortion). We do try to stand up but it is like having a gang of rebels beating you back down. It is all fear, all over the world. It is the common people that are placed in this basket. Would you sacrifice your family, your children, for your own freedom? Believe me, they WILL take your family if you stand up against them because that is the fear they have instilled.<br />Do you really think there are no people in the U.S. starving or have no place to live except in the street? Look again. If it is happening here, there is something terribly wrong and I see it happening in different ways all over the world. If it is happening anywhere in the world, there is something terribly wrong.<br /><br />December 27, 2009 6:14 AM <br />Dan @ CC.C said... <br />America; The Bankster Takeover and You<br />(http://www.casescorner.com/id46.html)<br /><br />December 27, 2009 6:17 AM <br />Daro said... <br />As usual it takes les than 2 blog comments before it collapses in acrimony.

We are not gods. We are not even competent scientists!<br /><br />I will not say what we are. The reader here can pontificate about this -while peering into those muddy waters- at their own leisure.<br /><br />FOR, -in the long run -in order to create that better future, all our goals today should be aiming at dismantling the many mistakes of the past which have pushed and shoved humanity ever closer and in ever greater numbers toward the precipice you (and many others) are increasingly becoming aware of, -because- our reality is observably not improving, -far from it.<br /><br />Our reality has been tossed into the trash heap of history NOW even before it is written by the endless lies fed to everyone by those in the wheelhouse and at the helm who struggle to hang onto the brass ring that is NOT controlling the rudder that could be steering this great leaking and listing ship.<br /><br />Progress today, will only be marked by retracing our steps as best as we can, to see where it is we all went so wrong. Back away from these shoals of despair, and the rocks in the surf before us.<br /><br />We are all imbeciles -if we still think there is some hope of voting or worming our way out of this mess with a more humanitarian approach.<br /><br />If the democratic experience has taught us anything, John, it must be -that voters do not have to read. Their minds are already made up. They want free beer.<br /><br />Give human beings everything they want, and they will throw their empty beer bottles at the wall length mirrors and let the bathtubs run over for hours as they sleep off their drunken stupor.<br /><br />As a writer, John, the first thing you will come to realize is that those who aren't so ignorant that they are incapable of reading, are also too haughty to bother.<br /><br />Authors then -end up merely yelling into a gale -like madmen. And perhaps we are. We should flatter ourselves -to think so- anyway.<br /><br />December 27, 2009 6:25 AM <br />Anonymous said... <br />many people are weary and confused about what or who to believe,and to survive they try to shut off the relentless barrage of negativity and bad news with the various forms of entertainment..a true spiritual awakening is needed.<br /><br />December 27, 2009 6:31 AM <br />Anonymous said... <br />FLUORIDE.

I guess that was the plan all along, or maybe I just wanted to see if anyone out there was paying attention. <br /><br />Yeah, we need to lose the nationalistic patriotic bullfeces and start building sustainable communities that values everyone's contributions more equally. Recently I read an article that pointed-out janitors are more valuable than stockbrokers in terms of real good. Are we surprised?<br /><br />And I do apologize if anyone was offended by my previous post... Including any members of the band, formally know as various Polynesians, and now called the Maori who started to continually inhabit NZ about 1300... which is interesting as that's when the Navaho where supposed to have migrated to the southwest from the somewhere around Alaska. But I digress, and hopefully no one has formed an army to attack me over my ignorance of NZ first people whom I referred to as aboriginals (correctly, as I was talking first people in general and not the Aboriginals of AU)<br /><br />aboriginal - Definition from the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary<br />1 : being the first or earliest known of its kind present in a region < aboriginal forests> <br /><br />What I find disheartening is how these discussions often deteriorate into flame wars rather than all of us recognizing that we need to stick together regardless of where we were born, or what color we happen to be. It's far too easy to divide humans into small, rather useless groups, that constantly bicker about small crap and lose sight of the big stuff.<br /><br />Take the most recent holiday... which did you celebrate? Which holiday if the true holiday? Hopefully you picked none of the above, because that's the right answer. Why do humans worry so much about other people's gods when there are people near them who don't have enough food, shelter or even hope? <br /><br />I can find people near me that would die to stop an abortion but wouldn't lift a finger to keep their own kid from joining the army. WTF?<br /><br />If you have a computer and you're online then you and I and everyone else who is also online are part of a unique community where we can almost interact sans the usual profiling bullfeces we'd do face to face. Yeah, it gets rough and ugly, but we're more of a community, and a joined people then we'd admit. <br /><br />And admit it we should, because if draconian feces hit the fan, we're probably the class of citizens that will be the first to suffer from the stench. Or from the re-education camps or whatever the bastards will call them.<br /><br />Peace,<br />DaveS<br /><br />December 27, 2009 7:27 AM <br />s said... <br />It's clear the site has been hacked and the article tampered with.

If someone lies to you, you must be able to decipher the lie pre-emptively in order to take effective action. These controlling entities are so good at covering the lies that we usually cannot pre-emptively decipher them. This is why they keep gaining advances in their agenda. It is very difficult to rectify a situation after it has taken place. Place "foul" where foul should be. It is not America as a country that is foul. It is the controlling entities. If you have a fool-proof method to pre-emptively decipher a lie, it needs to be distributed world-wide to the common people. As stated in a previous post, let him without sin cast the first stone. If you cannot present a gainful solution, what is your point in name-calling? When they finally take New Zealand by force with this world dominion agenda, as they have others, will you be at fault because you did not stop it? Or will you sit back and wait for it to hit your country as well?<br /><br />I implore you to stop the agenda if you can.

Al Quaida, however, is not a group of terrorists as portrayed. They created Al Quaida to be one of the fear factors. It is a psychological product of the fear mill. It is a childish game on an adult level. Children can be cruel and a childish game played by corrupt adults is evil.<br /><br />December 27, 2009 8:09 AM <br />Anonymous said... <br />Thank you for expressing what so many of us feel in this country. This isn't an issue of Republican or Democrat. It isn't an issue of Independent or Libertarian. This is an issue of think tanks like the CFR producing the puppets who supposedly represent us in Washington and the lobbyists who control the puppets via backhanders and the promise of lucrative jobs in lobbying firms when the 'representative' finishes in Washington. We the People have no representation. Those of us who are outspoken are outnumbered by those who are apathetic and lazy. When I have enquired as to why they are so unmotivated to stand up against the Government, I am told that this is because they have tried and were unsuccessful. People have thrown in the towel. Instead they choose to live in their shells....to entertain themselves with the boob tube and to pretend that we still have a Constitution that anyone in Washington respects. If we want things to be right...we need to outlaw lobbying, we need to have citizen funded campaigns and we need to make it a crime for any representative to later work at companies or organizations that in any way can influence representatives in Washington. How do we do this? Maybe a revolution to remove the criminals? It may be too late - they may already have government forces and military contractors like Blackwater in place to prevent any uprising.<br /><br />December 27, 2009 9:02 AM <br />Jason - Glasgow, Scotland. said... <br />Ivan do you seriously think that the Government of New Zealand is somehow completely disconected to what is happening in the World today? The likes of Obama and indeed virtually all Government heads, are mere puppets! That aside, can you please inform us as to why the American People are to blame for the decisions made by a Military Industrial Complex Dictatorship? Please take into account the fact that the American People have been exposed/subjected to Water Flouridation and such neurotoxic chemicals as Aspartame and MSG in their foodchain for a couple of decades longer than the rest of us - this clearly has had the profound effect that 'they' desire, in that there has been a serious dumbing down of society, to the point where most people in America are literaly unable to comprehend the bigger picture. <br /><br />Thanks for the great blog Jack Rabbit.<br /><br />Peace all.<br /><br />December 27, 2009 9:07 AM <br />Anonymous said... <br />I agree 100% with the author. Most of my friends/relatives, that is 90% of them, are dumbed down idiotic TV addicted sheeple. They have lost the ability to think for themselves or think logically. They seem to only care about themselves, and their possessions. They have no idea of what is about to happen, or what is happening to our country and to them/us. They do not care, they care about who is on American Idle or if the Cowboys will win their next game. <br /><br />I have to say one thing, the owners of this country did one hell of a job on brainwashing them. I thank God everyday I stopped watching the TV or reading the newspapers. It's absolutely sickening to hear what the news media is telling the sheeple, that is the every once in a while I get a bit of it when visiting my sheeple friends/relatives.<br /><br />I calculate at the maximum, there is about 25% of the general population who are either awake, or living in reality, or somewhat awake. Many students are NOT brainwashed, as they do not sit in front of their TV's during their spare time. Otherwise, maybe 10% of my age group, 50ish, might be living in reality.<br /><br />It will take ALL of us to lead the way. The first step is to get people off their brainwashing machines, some how get them interested in something else, other than American Idle or Dancing with the Stars. Maybe reading a book about the real history of our country, or, maybe reading the Constitution.<br /><br />I believe only 3% of population were originally patriots , and they beat a sophisticated British Army. We can do it. Lets start by educating and finding the ones, the sheeple who are willing to listen and change their lives, to help save our country!<br /><br />God Bless the USA and the Patriots!<br /><br />December 27, 2009 9:12 AM <br />Anonymous said... <br />You are making the same mistake as many others. Us against them, the "organized force of thieves, liars and power-hungry oligarchs with the means, motive and opportunity to take everything". <br /><br />No, they don't exist as "organized force" that "we" could locate and destroy. The current situation is only natural development of the conflict of interest between the corporate and population. Corporate values are not human, but they are members of the society equal to humans - so of course they then go about their interest by all means, including media and government. <br /><br />So it's not "our" media. It's theirs, because they pay for it. For example, this very website you are using to blog your thoughts is financed by them. And you are able to blog only because on the left of the page there are ads from the same credit card companies that make us "penniless tools". Or from their equivalents. Go to whatreallyhappened.com we all love, and try to find an ad that would not be total deception. <br /><br />It's really simple: they pay for everything, so of course they make it their way. If their way is war against terror, then so it will be. And it's even fair, isn't it - if you pay, you do expect something in return. And you can't fight, really, because "they" are in fact "us" from 8 to 5.<br /><br /><br />These are not citizens - they are consumers - oblivious to the death and destruction spread in their names.<br /><br />The American citizen has become a penniless tool of credit card companies - unable to perform their duty as citizen since they cannot collect enough brain energy to grasp the mind-fuck under which they live.<br /><br /><br />organized force of thieves, liars and power-hungry oligarchs with the means, motive and opportunity to take everything.<br /><br />December 27, 2009 9:13 AM <br />Anonymous said... <br />The CONstitution is not, and never has been, legally binding on anybody. This means that the criminal syndicate in DC has no legitimacy or legal authority, and everybody should start treating them as the treasonous criminals that they are.<br /><br />If there is any hope left, the sheeple are going to have to decide that they don't need, or have to obey, a well-dressed criminal mob that is trying to enslave them with their own money. Every state legislature needs to declare its independence from DC, and confiscate every military base inside its borders, just for starters. Then each state needs to start its own bank, issue its own money, and cut the feds out of the loop.

Some of us have plans, but given the political climate in the US right now, mum's the word. My fear is that the average American a fool and will fall at the knees of some NWO Hollywood actor when TSHTF. . If it came down to it, Americans would pick the Terminator over someone like Michael Rivero because they have been brainwashed that only celebrities can save them. In the end, the ones without a plan will gladly go to the FEMA camps because government will take care of them.

One of my first memories was my mother showing me the Constitution and telling me that it was the very ethos of our new home. An ethos of inalienable rights, of decency, an ethos of government accountability. A government by and for the people. My "old" country was run by a king, and a corrupt group of oligarchs in a class based society. But not here, not in America. Here all men were equal and all men subject to the rule of law. I read this blessed Constitution over and over as a child. Such wise men, these founders to create this land of justice and opportunity. I've lived here over 50 years and I've never been more frightened. Frightened because I've seen this all before. I've seen what happens when good people don't speak out against injustice. I've seen what happens when private banks seize control of a nations money supply. I've seen what happens as "free" societies are systematically shut down. I've seen what happens as the wealth of the middle class is shifted to the ruling elites. I'm the guy who pays his taxes. I'm the guy who gives up his seat on the bus to the elderly lady. I'm the guy who watches the time so he won't run out his parking meter. For the first time in my life I'm terrified that soon I will have to make a decision to either move back to the old country or stay and fight for this blessed document the Constitution. For the first time in my life a violent revolution is possible, perhaps unavoidable. JFK's words keep ringing in my ears "Those who make peaceful revolution impossible make violent revolution inevitable". It is so clear to me that this whole rotten system has become so corrupt that it must be purged or we, as a nation cannot survive.<br /><br />December 27, 2009 9:34 AM <br />William Castle said... <br />In case you haven't noticed, the guilty verdict in the "Neo-Nazi" Bill White case just established the "Shut up or go to jail" precedent.

The people alive now who were born before 1964 were the last generation of real Americans.

Such hospitals should be against the law! In order to finction, such hospitals must provide the least possible health care for the greatest possible amount of money they are able to wrest from the victim. Yes--victim!<br />Health care should be a human right.<br />When a democractic government is responsible, limits result or the government is voted out. Nobody can 'vote out' all the health insurance companies who decide what procedures you will be able to get. Americans are suffering from overwork, lack of decent medical care, lack of security--anybody can lose their job. Lose their health care. Note that US government offcials LOVE their health care--- they aren't held hostage by insurance companies, the middle men who jack up prices.<br />I paid $7 a pill for thyroid medication when hospitalized in 2007. The same pill in the US cost 30 cents each (with my health insurance) ! But imagine my amazement when overseas i found out the pill cost me only 10 cents a pill! Without any health insurance! And to the average Swede, Dutch citizen, Norwegian, that pill is FREE! Thyroid medication for some people is necessary or death will result, yet in the hospital, I was forced to pay $7 per pill. I lost all my lifelong savings in three hos[ital stays despite 'health nsurance."<br />The following poem represents the cries of helpless Americans who cannot get health insurance. In a truly humane and human world, ALL people would receive free medical care.<br /><br />Help! Murder! Police!<br />She stood beside her open door,<br />Trembling in her slippers.<br />They heard her scream, from time to time:<br />HELP! MURDER! POLICE!<br /><br />She stood there all the gray day through,<br />turning the doorknob, looking into<br />her rented room ‘til the day was gone,<br />shouting out her simple song:<br />HELP! MURDER! POLICE!<br /><br />Was she once loved? Who knows? Who cares?<br />For she’s outlived her usefulness!<br />Weak and bleak by her darkened door<br />--please turn your head -- her noise ignore --<br />HELP! MURDER! POLICE!<br /><br />We’re all so busy, we’re hurrying on,<br />Averting our eyes, while the Clean-Up Squad<br />Comes to get some tidying done<br />With a government-issued gun.<br />And all around, a spreading flood:<br />Humanity’s epitaph writ in blood --<br />HELP! MURDER! POLICE!<br /><br />JVB <br /><br />Medical care for all human beings is a human right<br />that should not be denied, ignored or limited. The<br />greed and rapacity of for-profit hospitals, for-profit<br />drug companies, and for-profit health insurance companies<br />in the USA, which spends 15% of its GPA on 'health care' --what<br />a joke!-- those 'expenses' go to the middleman--the 'health insurance companies'<br />who decide what doctor you can have and what hospitakl you can go to.<br /><br />This sad situation illustrates the capacity humans have to take advantage of<br />those who are vulnerable. The inevitable health needs of fellow human beings<br />has to be addressed humanely. <br /> <br />In sweden, 8% of the GPA goes to health care. My friend, George, had a major abdominal cancer operation. his cost? $11.50 a day. Yes, he paid taxes. So what? <br />We have proof the government sponsored system can work in Sweden. While taxes are high, nobody is without health insurance. While taxes are high, SAmericans actually pay more than the swedes because they have to pay health insurance companies that block their way to getting the same kind of medica; care that swedes get. rankly, the swedes live three to four years longer than Americans because they get excellent health care. Nobody loses their home over having a cancer operation. nobody has to decide whether they will eat or be able to afford their life-giving medicine. <br /><br />I want my America back! The America where my doctor came to our house to help my mother. Where we got free shots at our school. Where after I spent almost a year and a half in the hospital, the hospital and doctors cancelled the bills after my dad had paid about 10%, because they were just glad they were able to save my life. My parents celebrated by going to the Bahaamas, and went on with their prosperous business in the TV industry. See if your doctors and hospitals will forgive a bill for 500 days in the hospial NOW! Today, they'd drive you to bankruptcy to get their pound of flesh.<br /><br />The insurance copanies are big and powerful with YOUR moneyand they will make sure they will KEEP GETTING YOUR MONEY. What kind of spineless, corrupt, selfish congressmen and leaders do we have, anyway? How stupid can people get, to want to KEEP insurance companies that have shut out 46,000,000 Americans? This is NOT a 'welfare' or 'tax' problem. This is a SURVIVAL problem. Fix it, and people will have inheritances to pass on to their children. Don't fix it, and more suffering and hardhsip and evil in America is guaranteed, because homelessness, drug use, despair, anger and hatred of each other has its roots in the callous neglect and exploitation of our own.<br />I DO NOT KNOW OF HARDER-WORKING PEOPLE THAN AMERICANS.<br />I DO NOT KNOW OF ANY PEOPLE ON EARTH WHO HAVE BEEN EXPLOITED AND TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF MORE THAN HARD-WORKING AMERICANS.<br />I DO NOT KNOW OF ANY PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN BETRAYED, USED, SEDUCED AND LIED TO AS MUCH AS THE AMERICAN PEOPLE HAVE BEEN LIED TO, USED, BETRAYED AND SEDUCED -- BY A CORRUPT GOVERNMENT THAT HAS FAILED THEM, WHILE ENRICHING THEIR FRIENDS THE BANKERS, THE INSURANCE COMPANIES, THE DRUG COMPANIES, AND THEIR OWN FAT, GOVERNMENT-HEALTH-CARE-COVERED ASSES. <br /><br />True humane action means provision of medical care to all,<br />regardless of ability to pay.<br /><br />The argument that ‘government’ shouldn’t be responsible for our<br />health care needs is absurd, for our government represents us, and it is through our government that we derive all our other protections. Through good laws, and voting, we can protect the population from being exploited, voting in good men and voting out the bad.<br /><br />Will Americans be fooled forever by their leaders?<br />Good God, they told you Oswald killed Kennedy.<br />They told you we had to win the war in Vietnam.<br />They told you we had to 'liberate' Iraq and fight the war on terror there.<br />Now it's Afghanistan, that money and blood trap that bankrupted the USSR.<br />Of course, companies (especially from Texas) will continue to get richer as they are paid to service the war effort. And bodies in boxes will keep quietly being returned to the weeping mothers and fathers and wives and children. <br />They will tell you anything, and they HAVE told you anything you'll swallow.<br />Americans love to rll over and take it.<br />Again and again.<br />Just remember:<br />The powers running your lives and destroying your future will tell you anything to quiet you...after all, they want your life's savings, one way or another (or do you think that YOU will avoid bankruptcy in your final illness and death? How? By cmmitting sicide? By jumping off a cliff?). yes, you wll be told anything that means more money in t-h-e-i-r pockets and more power over Y-o-u.<br /><br />I never felt so moved to rouse you, o my people, since the early 60's when I marched against the Vietnam War, marched for civil rights, and fought for clean government at the local level. I did what I could with five young children. Since then I have lived in several technologically advanced foreign countries where citizens get five or six weeks of vacation, great health care, have almost no poor or homeless, where the air is clean and the food fresh and the people have hope for tomorrow. The countries I've lived in aren't violent like America. <br /><br />But they don't have nearly as many desperate people.<br />There are more people in prison in my country, the United states, per capita, than in any other country on earth. Is that the America I once knew? NO! But WHY, WHY, WHY?<br /><br />We are being drowned in drugs, subverted with porn, forced to work ourselves to death, unable to buy really fresh food without paying a fortune for nit, unable to afford dental care, let alone health insurance, and they changed the laws so you cannot even afford to file for bankruptcy! God in heaven!<br /><br />BUT we stll have the VOTE--so long as we can make sure no computerized voting machines are being used. Do not think for a minute that paper ballots are safe, unless you watchdog the boxes (but at least, then you have a paper record). <br /><br />Do not think for an instant that the same government who every November trots out new, fancy programs 'proving' Oswald killed Kennedy -- when the government was involved in the cover-up of who really did it -- don;t think that same government that inherited power by making sure Kennedy died will count the ballots correctly from electronic sources. You know better: look at how president Al Gore was removed from office simply by his rival having a brother in the key state. Thes epeople have the resources and the means and the motive to corrupt electronic voting machines, judges and states.<br /><br />But just pretend you have the guts, America, to adequately protect your vote on a paper ballot that is unable to be 'lost' or 'cancelled.'<br /><br />What then? You can vote out your corrupt and greedy politicans who vote against health care reforms and frighten you with their dire tales, while making sure you hear nothing but bad news about government health care programs overseas. Lies!<br /><br />What do they deserve? They, who use government health care for themselves! Yes, that's what they enjoy! They do not have to worry about insurance companies!<br /><br /> The news programs, the media, will keep on blabbing about how horrible universal health care is. Billions of dollars are at stake. The media is bought-and-sold. <br /><br />Solution?<br />Kick the senator or representative out, if they vote against your health and your future.<br /><br />Yes, vote 'em out of office!<br /><br />Remember:<br />You cannot vote out an insurance company board.<br />You cannot vote out the CEO’s of a drug company charging a fortune for<br />cancer drugs.<br />You cannot vote out your local hospital for overcharging everyone shamelessly.<br />I learned, living overseas, that health care CAN be supplied to all at a level of excellence.<br />People are being systematically terrified to not allow the government –THEIR government – to protect them. <br /><br />Listen. Americans: if the government health bill has flaws, through votes and pressure you can make it better.<br /><br />You can press for improvements to any bill that’s passed. Unless you let the insurance companies handle everything, once again.<br /><br />We already know that they will charge you more for health care than anybody else on earth has to pay. And if you can't pay for it--too bad, too sad.<br /><br />Greedy insurance companies and for-profit hospitals in America have made a business out of a human right -- the right for every hman to have ther best helath care possible.<br /><br />Instead, greedy companies, hospitals and doctors have bankrupted millions of innocent people who paid them to protect and serve them.<br /><br /> I have lived in many countries, and shake my head at the fear-mongering going on. Powerful arguments, terrifying people that “Grandma will be euthanized” ignore the horrible fact that Grandma today is in desperate need of medical care and her families go bankrupt trying to provide it. I have lived overseas long enough to know that government health care programs can work. What America has now does not work, and is destroying family after family. My own mother refused to go to the hospital during her dying last days because she knew it would wipe out the inheritance she wished her children and loved ones to receive. Had she lived in Sweden or Canada, she would have received the care she should have had.<br />My mother suffered, and died, because of private health care’s excessive greed.<br />The following human rights should be universally recognized:<br />1) the right to free water and free food, to the level ensuring excellent health & cleanliness<br />2) the right to a free education to the degree desired<br />3) free medical care as a right for all<br />4) the right to own your own home …in other words, that<br />the government cannot tax your primary residence: it is always yours,<br />and cannot be taken from you for nonpayment of taxes; if the government can take away your home for non-payment of taxes, you are the serf of the government and you are not free<br />5) the right to accept or reject untested or controversial vaccines and medical treatments<br />6) the right to refuse to participate in war<br />7) all the freedoms listed in The Bill of Rights<br /><br />I'm sure I'll get flack from this, but I'm horrified at the heartless neglect of American citizens, people who have worked hard all their lives, who cannot pass anything on to their children because it all went to pay $7 a pill for a pill that overseas costs 10 cents to foreigners and is FREE to those who have government-sponsored health care -- government, I repeat, can be voted out. God help us to move forward to provide health care security for all human beings. We once had dreams of freedom for all, homesteads for all, social security and health care for all. Health care should NEVER be a business! Wew're supposed to be human beings, not for-profit-take-advantage-of-your-neighbor-dark-animals.

LAST I KNEW, HE HAD A VERY NICE HOUSE IN TEXAS.<br /><br />PEACE IN AMERICA MEANS MUCH MORE PEACE IN THE WHOLE WORLD.

THEY GET ONLY TWO WEEKS (MAYBE JUST ONE!) OF VACATION, WORK LONGER HOURS, GET LESS REST, AND EAT WORSE FOOD THAN THE FIVE TOP COUNTRIES LISTED BELOW ON THE PEACE INDEX. SOME PARTS OF 'SOCIALISM' ARE REALLY VERY CHRISTIAN--TAKING CARE OF YOUR NEIGHBOR. IN THE EARLY CHURCH, ORPHANS AND WIDOWS WERE TAKEN CARE OF, AND A MINISTERY WAS SET UP USING DEACONS AND DEACONESSES. IT'S NOT WRONG TO HAVE THE GOVERNMENT PROVIDE HEALTH CARE, BECAUSE WE THE PEOPLE OTE THE GOVERNMENT IN OR OUT. YOU CANNOT VOTE OUT INSURANCE COMPANY EXECUTIVES IN THE SAME MANNER.<br /><br />THE BANKING CONSORTIUMS OF THE WORLD -- THE FEDERAL RESERVE FOR AMERICA-- MEANS THAT WE MUST BORROW MONEY FROM BANKERS TO RUN OUR COUNTRY, SO WE WILL ALWAYS BE IN DEBT. RUNNING WARS KEEPS THE MONEY FLOWING. WAR WILL BE OUR EMPLOYMENT IN THE WORLD UNTIL WE'RE WIPED OUT BY DEBT. TAKING BACK OUR COUNTRY MEANS SUPPORTING GOVERNMENT HEALTH CARE SO WE DON'T GET WIPED OUT FINANCIALLY BY END-OF-LIFE HEALTH PROBLEMS, AND STOPPING THE TAXATION OF OUR HOMES. AN AMERICAN'S HOME SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO BE TAKEN AWAY FROM HIM FOR NON-PAYMENT OF TAXES. THAT MEANS THE GOVERNMENT, NOT THE CITIZEN, OWNS THE HOME. THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD PROTECT US, NOT TAKE OUR POSSESSIONS FROM US. INCOME TAX SHOULD BE THE SAME -- A SOLID 10%--FOR EVERYONE, RICH OR POOR, COMPANIES, ORGANIZATIONS, ETC. ALL HOSPITALS SHOULD BE NON-PROFIT, AND ALL MEDICAL RESEARCH SHOULD BE GOVERNMENT-SPONSORED, BECAUSE ADVANCES COME QUICKLY WHEN THE GOVERNMENT IS TRYING TO SAVE MONEY ON HEALTH CARE. MEDICAL CARE SHOULD BE PATTERNED AFTER SWEDEN, WHO DOES IT RIGHT. MY FRIEND GEORGE RCENTLY HAD AN IMPORTANT CANCER OPERATION AND WAS IN THE HOSPITAL 8 DAYS. THE COST WAS $11.50 A DAY. YES, HE HAS PAID TAXES ALL HIS LIFE, BUT IN AMERICA, THAT SAME OPERATION, AFTER PAYING 'TAXES' TO THE HEALTH INSURANCE COMPANY, WOULD HAVE COST HIM, ON TOP OF THAT, OVER $120,000.<br /> BUT THE INSURANCE COMPANIES ARE SO POWERFUL, THEY'LL MAKE SURE THEY CORRUPT EVERYONE ON CAPITOL HILL, SO WE'LL STAY THE MOST EXPENSIVE COUNTRY ON EARTH FOR HEALTH CARE, THOUGH OUR STANDING IN ACTUAL <em>QUALITY</em> OF HEALTH CARE IS JUST ABOVE SLOVENIA--WHICH, BY THE WAY, IS ALSO A MORE 'PEACEFUL' COUNTRY THAN AMERICA-- RANKED 24, WHEREAS AMERICA IS RANKED 83. PEACE AND PROSPERITY GO HAND-IN-HAND. IF AMERICA IS TO PROSPER, WE HAVE TO GET OUR COUNTRY BACK. I DOUBT THAT WILL HAPPEN. WE'VE FALLEN, AS A BEAUTIFUL ANGEL OF HOPE HAS FALLEN, INTO DARKNESS.

CHECK OUT "POETS FOR PEACE," TOO. THOUGH ART AND POETRY CANNOT BRING TRUE FREEDOM BACK TO AMERICA, IT CAN CREATE VISIONS SO AMERICANS WILL REMEMBER JUST WHAT TRUE FREEDOM IS, AND WHY WE SHOULD'T LET IT SLIP FROM OUR GRASP UNDER THE GUISE OF 'PATRIOT ACT' OR ANY OTHER ORWELLIAN NEWPEAK DOUBLESPEAK JARGON.<br /> OUR FOREFATHERS SHED THEIR BLOOD FOR THIS COUNTRY. WE SHOULD FIGHT TO PROTECT OURSELVES, OF COURSE: WE WERE LIED TO ABOUT IRAQ. WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION? WE WERE THE WMD MACHINE, DESTROYING THE LIVES OF MILLIONS OF IRAQIS. I KNOW, I TALKED PERSONALLY TO DOZENS OF THEM WHO SOUGHT POLITICL ASYLUM IN SWEDEN. HORROR STORIES THAT WOULD MAKE YOUR BLOOD BOIL IN OUTRAGE, ESPECIALLY AS BILLIONS OF DOLLARS WENT INTO PRIVATE POCKETS--OUR AMERICAN DOLLARS. TEXAS MILLIONAIRES MADE RICH BY KENNEDY'S DEATH GOT RICHER IN VIETNAM, AND THEN IN IRAQ. LOOK AT THE HISTORY, MY FELLOW AMERICANS, AND WAKE UP! <strong>NO MORE WARS! </strong> GET RID OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE THAT LOANS US OUR OWN MONEY AND LET US PRINT OUR OWN MONEY AGAIN, AS WE DID AT THE TURN OF THE CENTURY! WE ALSO NEED UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE, SO WE HAVE SOMETHING LEFT FOR OUR CHILDREN TO INHERIT, AND AN ALL-OUT REAL WAR ON CANCER, A DISEASE WE COULD HAVE WIPED OUT IN THE 1970'S! BUT THEN, ALL THOSE BIG DRUG AND INSURANCE COMPANIES COULDN'T HAVE MADE THEIR BILLIONS WITHOUT OUR HELP. DID YOU KNOW NEW ZEALAND GIVES FREE HEALTH CARE FOR ALL BIRTHS? <br /> A MULTI-PARTY SYSTEM WOULD HELP--AND NEVER ALLOWING THE USE OF VOTING MACHINES, WHICH CAN BE RIGGED. AT LKEAST YOU CAN LOOK FOR HANGING CHADS ON A PAPER BALLOT, AND YOU KNOW WHAT YOU MARKED ON IT. <br /> IF YOU THINK I'M TOO FAR OUT IN LEFT FIELD, LOOK AT THE TOP PEACEFUL COUNTRIES. THEY ALL HAVE GOVERNMENT-RUN HEALTH CARE. THEY ALL HAVE VERY HIGH STANDARDS OF LIVING. THEY ALL PAY HIGHER TAXES THAN AMERICANS DO, BUT THEY HAVE ALMOST NO HOMELESS, ALMOST NO POVERTY. WE NEED TO FOLLOW THE EXAMPLE OF NORWAY, SWEDEN, ICELAND, AND THE OTHER TOP COUNTRIES. FIND OUT WHAT THEY ARE DOING RIGHT.<br /> ONE CLUE: THEY ARE SOCIALIST-LEANIGN COUTNRIES WITH STRONG CAPITALISM AT THE ROOTS, AND THEY LIVE IN COLD CLIMATES WHERE THEY WERE FORCED TO THINK AHEAD, OR STARVE, IN THOSE LONG WINTERS. PERHAPS THE FOOLISH WERE CULLED IN A NATURAL SELECTION PROCESS. TODAY, THE WORLD'S POPULATION IS BEING CULLED BY FAMINES, BIOLOGICAL MEANS, ABORTIONS, AND, ESPECIALLY, BY WARS. THERE HAVE TO BE BETTER ANSWERS TO THE POPULATION PROBLEMS THAN 'START ANOTHER WAR' OR 'RELEASE ANOTHER VIRUS INTO THE POPULATION.' WE MUST CHOOSE TO LIVE IN PEACE ON THIS PLANET, CHERISHING ALL LIFE FORMS ON ITS SURFACE AND BELOW ITS WAVES. AS KENNEDY SAID, "WE ALL BREATHE THE SAME AIR...." AND "WE ARE ALL MORTAL."<br /><br /><strong>JUDYTH VARY BAKER</strong><br /> http://www.judythvarybaker.comUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0
