Losing heart? Not on YOUR bloody life! - International Peace/War

The difference is critical; in action I could completely rely on my mates/comrades while I undertook a strategic action or mission. That reliance and mutual support is THE CRITICAL FACTOR MISSING from the public response today! The social ills precipitated by insider criminal elites, fraudsters, banksters etc, which currently threaten the tenure of western society should have seen POWERFUL, REMEDIAL SOCIAL RESPONSES, as has occurred on numerous occasions in the past -- those negatively impacted cured the problem!

However, today the reverse has occurred; the cause of the problem, corrupt, criminal, elite minorities, continue to ply their dastardly trade on a paralysed majority – nonetheless, unity of purpose and a strong desire for surgical solutions remains a potential (social) energy reserve!

Others have referred to the ‘light pole’ solution for offenders that contemptuously defy society. If it doesn’t govern, it is NOT government; if self-confessed torturers and war criminals walk free, clearly a breakdown in LAW and enforcement has occurred!

When State Institutions cease to serve the people IT IS CAUSE FOR GREAT ALARM AND EVEN GREATER ACTION TO REMEDY THE SITUATION!

In such circumstances responsibility falls on the shoulders of the people and if the people are not up to the task responsibility then falls on those capable of applying remedies/solutions/cures!

It should never be forgotten that NO ONE is above the LAW or the reach of the appropriate regulatory authority, full stop!

However, today we witness, almost on a daily basis, the FAILURE of our leaders to implement policies in conformance to the will of the people, especially in relation to JUSTICE and EQUITY! The situation is not difficult to understand; if a leader fails to represent those that placed him/her in power then that ‘leader’ has forfeited every right to lead and represent the people; the mandate ceases to exist and POWER returns to those that initially invested it – that process is automatic!

The people would have by default or otherwise regained SOVEREIGNTY and as such would no longer be answerable to a CORRUPT STATE! As sovereign entities the people would have all the rights of nations, including the RIGHT TO ENGAGE IN WARFARE! Sovereign laws are SACROSANCT! [It would be well if puppet leaders became aware of their folly and the massive discontent that now threatens violent overthrow in many nations!]

Without doubt the most effective solution and cure for much of the chaos and mayhem in the WORLD today would be the INSTITUTION of war crimes trials for ALL previous and current leaders accused of crimes against humanity and other crimes of State. Almost overnight the world would be transformed and the people would take heart that much needed new directions have been taken.

Those who continue to promote war would clearly be identified as criminals or in the service of criminals, regardless of how smooth the delivery!

WE are ONE.

Peace.

Hi-ho, hi-ho, it's off to war we go!

As President Barack Obama begins winding down the Bush war in Iraq, he is building up his own war farther east. We're told that it will be a new, expanded, extra-special American adventure in Afghanistan, involving a vigorous surge strategy to "stabilize" this perpetually unstable land.

The initial surge will add 17,000 troops to the 36,000 already there. Then, later this year, there is to be a second troop surge of another 17,000 or so. This mass of soldiers is expected to be deployed to a series of new garrisons to be built in far-flung regions of this impoverished, rural, mostly illiterate warlord state that is ruled by hundreds of fractious, heavily armed tribal leaders. We're not told how much this escalation will cost, but it will at least double the $2 billion a month that American taxpayers are already shelling out for the Afghan war.

The extra-special part of this effort is to come from a simultaneous "civilian surge" of hundreds of U.S. economic development experts. "What we can't do," said Obama in an interview last Sunday, "is think that just a military approach in Afghanistan is going to be able to solve our problems." To win the hearts (and cooperation) of the Afghan people, this development leg of the operation will try to build infrastructure (roads, schools, etc.), create new crop alternatives to lure hardscrabble farmers out of poppy production and generally lift the country's bare-subsistence living standard.

What Obama has not mentioned is that, in addition to soldiers and civilians, there is a third surge in his plan: private military contractors. Yes, another privatized army, such as the one in Iraq. There, the Halliburtons, Blackwaters and other war profiteers ran rampant, shortchanging our troops, ripping off taxpayers, killing civilians and doing deep damage to America's good name.

Already, there are 71,000 private contractors operating in Afghanistan, and many more are preparing to deploy as Pentagon spending ramps up for Obama's war. The military is now offering new contracts to security firms to provide armed employees (aka, mercenaries) to guard U.S. bases and convoys. Despite the widespread contractor abuses in Iraq, Pentagon chief Robert Gates defends the ongoing privatization push: "The use of contractor security personnel is vital to supporting the forward-operating bases in certain parts of the country," he declared in a February letter to the Senate Armed Services Committee.

What the gentle war secretary is really saying is this: "We don't have a draft, and I don't see a lot of senators' kinfolks volunteering to put their butts on the line in Afghanistan, so I've gotta pay through the nose to find enough privateers to guard America's Army in this forbidding place."

Meanwhile, here's an interesting twist to Obama's contractor surge: the for-hire guards protecting our bases and convoys will not likely be Americans. The Associated Press has reported that of the 3,847 security contractors in Afghanistan, only nine are U.S. firms.

Actually, being an American contractor is not a plus in the eyes of the Afghan people, for they've had bitter experiences with them. They point to DynCorp, a Virginia-based contractor that got nearly a billion dollars in 2006 to train Afghan police. The bumbling "Inspector Clouseau" of comic fame could've done a better job. At least he might have amused the people.

What they got from DynCorp was a bunch of highly paid American "advisors" who were unqualified and knew nothing about the country. Some 70,000 police were to be trained, but less than half that number actually went through the ridiculous eight-week program, which included no field training.

A 2006 U.S. report on the DynCorp trainees deemed them to be "incapable of carrying out routine law enforcement work." Meanwhile, no one knows how many of the trainees ever reported for duty, or what happened to thousands of missing trucks and other pieces of police equipment that had been issued for the training.

The punch line of this joke is that DynCorp got another contract ($317 million) last August to "continue training civilian police forces in Afghanistan."

Excuse me for saying it, but Obama is about to sink us — and his presidency — into a mess.

“Two points are of particular importance as we examine the evolution of 4GW. First is the timeline associated with this form of war. Fourth-generation-warfare struggles are measured in decades rather than months or years. The Communist Chinese fought for twenty-seven years. The Vietnamese fought for thirty years. The Sandinistas fought for eighteen years. The Palestinians have been fighting since 1967. The Afghans took ten years to defeat the Soviets -- and the subsequent struggle for power continues today, twenty-five years after the Russian invasion.”

Dream on Obaa'ma OR tell the people the TRUTH!

No matter though, in either case you LOSE. Alexander, Rome, Great Britain, Soviets, all done like dinners. But 'Captain America' can't lose! [In your fuckin' deluded dreams, Uncle!]

Your enemies can't wait for you to take on the Afghanis and their allies -- the defeat will pulverise you, but first it will destroy Pakistan -- just keep killing innocent civilians with your mindless 'drones' -- a very apt name for your UAVs and the imbeciles that deployed them.

There is no measure for American stupidity or that of Australian (Kilcullen) advisors -- keep up the 'good work,' dreamboats!

Yes, Junior, there is a shadow government! And confirmation couldn't have come from a higher source, National Security Adviser to President 'watermelon' Obama; James Jones!

Out of the mouth of Security Adviser, James Jones, came this nuclear statement, “I take my daily orders from Dr. Kissinger.” If you doubted Obama's puppet status then doubt no more.

'Kiss of Death,' Kissinger adviser to honest Dick Nixon through Bush to Obama continues to give orders in his capacity as an 'consultant' or adviser -- the mass murdering 'cat' is out of the bag!

Full opening paragraph of Jones' address to the 45th Munich Conference on Security Policy, below:

"Thank you for that wonderful tribute to Henry Kissinger yesterday. Congratulations. As the most recent National Security Advisor of the United States, I take my daily orders from Dr. Kissinger, filtered down through General Brent Scowcroft and Sandy Berger, who is also here. We have a chain of command in the National Security Council that exists today."

Give me, or should I say the world, a break! Regardless of the political party that occupies the White House the REAL government doesn't miss a beat, it offers "CONTINUITY we can believe in." Defy the real executive and they have you killed and other family members they consider to be a threat; the Kennedy clan is the most glaring example of their handiwork.

Australians were wondering why their lackey PM had been briefed by Doctor death, Kissinger, well now they know! Where is Obaa'ma while the real executive is making policy and decisions? Either out on the back porch eating watermelon or 'tap dancing' on the front lawn for the press corps!

Perhaps it's time Aussies sent a clear message to the world by making an example of former PM John Howard -- it may start a LAW and ORDER trend in Western Europe and the US or one better, it may trigger a people's revolt!

WE REALLY DON'T HAVE TO TAKE IT ANY MORE! Hang the bloody lot of 'em -- after a fair trial of course!

Kissinger's carpet-bombing policies are responsible for destabilising Cambodia and killing at least 4 million innocent civilians. Despots like Pol Pot could not have seized power without Kissinger bombing and killing innocent Asians with carefree abandon! Now we learn from a verbal blunder that Kissinger continues to rule in the shadows!

Until James Jones' verbal blunder, Bush had the dubious distinction of holding the title; Obama came in second with his exuberant exclamation that China "needs" America to overcome the economic downturn -- first BIG mistake Baa'raack, Orientals never speak directly, whatever they stated to Hillary's face is not what they really meant! You may be in for the shock of your life.
