Yeah, there are many complicated issues which
intertwine to keep the war machine chomping up
lives, ours and others, which include Iraqis.
I doubt that there are not many who, like us, decry
this situation and have written and begged for
change, and yet, a global agenda is being played
out. Here is a link to the Endgame, Alex Jone's
latest effort to wake up Americans to the reality
that there is a global enslavement agenda~~

I do not have a fast connection, so ordered one and
am glad I did. Those I have shared it with have
been riveted as this is current events which are
surely not covered on the local or even national
news.
The thing about the war also, is that now we have
destroyed so much of the Iraqi infrastructure,
according to my understanding, we are committed to
finance the rebuilding to the tunes of trillions
while our own infrastructure crumbles, our returning
veterans are denied medical needs, and our own country
is reduced to being taken over in collusion with the
Mexican government, as on a whole other front, Bush
and his administration sacrifice us to the NAFTA
and whatever other SECRET agreements he has made
without any oversight by Congress, although, perhaps
it would not make much difference as it seems most
congressmen are also under someone's thumb and they
have violated their oaths of office to uphold the
Constitution of the United States.
Well, thats a few threads from the doormat that the
United States has become as the world refines its
opinions that we are a warmongering, blood-thirsty
country.
Mostly as you can see from the treatment and minimizing
of Ron Paul, the powers that be are more than able
and willing to keep the rot and corruption under wrap,
and like the Iraq war, there is woefully little heard
or seen by the average American who also very often is
also faced with other issues as the gulf between the
wealthy and the poor becomes more defined, and the middle
class is vise-gripped into oblivion...
Yeah, you are right that the degrading of our currency
has fueled the love of bargains as foreigners can come
here and shop with their money and do very well.
As for hating the military, I still support the troops,
probably because I grew up during the draft when friends
and family were forced to fight. Now, like you have
shared, there is corruption running rampant and plenty
of waste and not the level of integrity which we assume
"our" military would embolden. I still believe there
are plenty of good men and women fighting, although,
not for the reasons they believe they are fighting for.
Hopefully, by now, no one believes that we are fighting
because Iraq had nuclear capability and was 'ellbent on
lobbing them our way.
Anyway, like I said at the start, there are so many
layers and complexities, I wonder if anyone knows it
all...maybe Cheney....gggg.
I wish you also a happy and loving New Year. In spite
of all the political mayhem which I find interesting as
I grew up the daughter of a *civil servant*, I have had
a banner year, especially after my 3 consecutive years
of Mcing and detoxing, I am in a good place mentally
and physically, not withstanding a bout with being
sprayed by chemtrails and that challenge. I am happy and
find joy in my relationships and surroundings.
I wish you and yours the best~!!
blessings & hugs,
Zoe
