Episode: 2.24.10 The Beginning of the End
Host: Jerry Adams
We have an alternative musical show today to get you over that hump. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid squeezed out a victory on a $15 billion jobs bill after a whirlwind day of frantic negotiations with Republicans. The top U.S. commander in Baghdad said some American combat forces could remain in Iraq after this summer’s planned withdrawal date if the country’s feuding leaders are unable to quickly form a new government. It’s no secret that in seeking to fend off a conservative primary challenger, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) has been scrambling to his right faster than you can say ”cap-and-trade.” But now, in a bid to explain his vote for the bailout, the Arizona senator is flat out rewriting history. ON MARCH 1, Microsoft Windows 7 Release Candidate users will lose control over their computers. Their PCs will start shutting down every two hours, even if they haven’t saved their work. And, On June 1, the screens will go black. World’s largest software maker Microsoft’s business strategy for pushing hard to sell its new Windows 7 by exerting control over users’ PCs has opened a pandora’s box.

War is Life
It has been said that a good national defense is to walk softly and carry a big stick. If you observe the history of America’s foreign policy of the past 10 years you will discern a pattern of that same stick violently killing hundreds of thousands. There is surprising little amount of contemporary debate on the issue of the United States being in a constant state of war. American citizens are most recently concerned that our nation will have a mandatory national health care program but what Americans fail to realize is that our government has been the source of thousands of violent deaths per year, due to a constant state of war. There are several major indicators that our government has been involved in systematic public deception, in order to perpetuate its business of global war. Students of history have noticed that America has been in a constant state of war since World War One (WWI). There are many obvious conflicting facts if one briefly observes the circumstances surrounding 9/11.The American government rules the American people by placing them in a constant state of fear, which encourages complacency. War is not a way to grow a country, and it must be stopped for America to survive as a nation.
First of all, there is no debate that America herself was founded, by blood sweat and patriotism in the Revolutionary War, however that she has been in a constant state of war in order to maintain her economy is controversial. After the Revolutionary War, there was the war of 1812, Mexican War, Civil War, Spanish American War, WWI,WWII just to name a few. America has been in a constant state of war since WWI, which is over 60 years of death and carnage. I don’t believe that that William S Knudsen General Motors president’s famous wartime quote “This wartime economy is great can we continue this?”,was a coincidence but a taste of things to come. One might argue that there is a war gap in the 1980’s thus rendering my thesis obsolete; however Ronald Reagan championed what he termed “The Cold War”. The Cold War was responsible for maintaining wartime spending on nuclear armaments and military aircraft while keeping citizens afraid of Soviet boogie men. The Berlin wall came down, and The Cold War warmed, so there was a new need for war. The Gulf war against Sadam Hussein, (who I might add was put into power by the United States to fight the Soviet boogie men), raged on in the early 1990’s satisfying America’s ruling corporate powers with economic satisfaction. During this time America’s central intelligence agency (CIA) was funding a group they called “Al-Qaeda”, the translation is “the base”, referring the CIA’s computer data base of radical Muslim militants enlisted to fight against the Soviet boogie men in the Afghanistan War. The most recent and continuing war that America continues to generate and involve itself in is “The War on Terror”, which has recently been changed by the Obama administration to “overseas contingency operations”, yet it still rages on.
Now that we have surveyed a brief overview of America’s established war fueled economy, lets focus on a few interesting yet obvious facts concerning our governments reactions to the 9/11 attacks on the world trade centers. Many people feel that the 9/11 World Trade Center attacks were not perpetrated by rouge Muslim terrorists but by the United States government themselves. We will not examine the U.S. government’s involvement in the attacks, because we are looking for the obvious, common sense evidence, not in-depth investigations. Then President George Bush stated that the attacks were perpetrated by Al-Qaeda, led by Osama Ben Laden, so we must go to war with Sadam Hussein. Then the President went on to declare a “Global War on Terror”. Attacking Sadam Hussein because of what Osama Ben Laden supposedly did does not make sense. Now if we observe the continuing numbers of those who have been killed by this War on Terror we find that it not being called off makes even less sense. Just slightly over 3,000 people were killed on September 11, 2009. In Iraq since the war began in 2003 up until the date this paper was written 4,677 coalition solders have been killed. Afghanistan has seen the death of 1,507 coalition solders since 2001 until this date. The death of the civilians of those countries is between 753,399 and 1 million. If the world trade centers were indeed attacked by, “Terrorists”, and 3,000 people were killed, would the death of over 1 million not make the U.S. government, “Terrorists”, also? If not, how many deaths would it take?
After we have examined the history of America’s war time economy and some obvious facts surrounding the 9/11 attacks we are naturally led to the way the American government rules, which is by fear. The reason that the U.S. government rules by fear, is because, that is what is required to maintain a wartime economy. I personally served in the “Operation Iraqi Freedom”; otherwise know as The Second Iraqi War. One thing that we were constantly taught was that we had to win the hearts and minds of the Iraqi people. Handing out food rations was one way this was accomplished. This war for the hearts and minds is not a new concept; in fact this war is the only war that has ever raged in America. The war for the hearts and minds, if won enables any government to do whatever they wish because they have convinced the people that they know best. The United States government accomplished this in WWII, by convincing its citizens that Hitler and the Japanese were evil personified. The American people were even willing to undergo rationing of very basic items such as toothpaste, meat, and rubber. America’s modern citizens have given up even some of their most basic civil liberties. It is frightening to consider that the events of Pearl Harbor and our modern 9/11 have certain similarities. The government ran in to trouble in Vietnam, as a majority of the public did not accept our need for the war. The United Stated did not lose the war in Vietnam, what the American government lost was a battle in the war of the hearts and minds of the American people. The modern war of the hearts and minds of the American public is still raging, and the government has encountered some recent setbacks. Government setbacks in the modern battle for the hearts and minds are made evident by the, “9/11 Truth Movement”, and the growing, “Tea Party Movement”. However, both movements are only a loss in the battle not the whole war. The government has made a counter strike with the, “World Financial Crisis”, and the, “H1N1 Scare”. The, “H1N1 Pandemic”, which statistically speaking is less virulent than the regular flu; has truly scared the American public. During the American publics recent terrors it is hard for them to focus on foreign wars, when there are issues that truly hit close to home like foreclosures and the swine flu.
Finally, after reviewing the history of America’s war economy, peculiar truths surrounding the 9/11 attacks and bearing in mind that the American government rules by fear, it leads you to the question of why. The reason is obvious if one decides to take responsibility for consuming their own facts, and not those feed to them by the corporate sponsored media. Money makes the world go around. Unfortunately there are some people in positions of power that feel that their not being in power would be a greater crime than the death of hundreds of thousands of less important peasants. Peasants would be those solders who fight in wars and innocent civilians who die. Death has been in the world since Cain slew Able. The Holy Bible goes on to say, “We struggle not against flesh and blood but against principalities in high places.” I have no reason to believe that this struggle will end soon, not until people learn to be less trusting and more discerning. However, I am of the firm opinion that war is not a way to grow a country, and it must be stopped for America to survive as a nation.
