Rude Awakening

It was inevitable; the dream has ended and hard reality is pressing mercilessly on all our dissociated perceptions of our leaders, the world and ourselves.

How long did we imagine we could collectively ignore the consequences of maniacal policies that wreaked so much death, destruction and hardship on INNOCENT people around the world? Four million innocent civilians killed by an indiscriminate carpet-bombing campaign expressly designed by Henry Kissinger to terrorise Indo-China into submission during the Vietnam War. However, as history vividly records, it FAILED -- as all terror campaigns inevitably do.

Today the guilt of four million innocent deaths is borne by a nation that refuses to acknowledge its horrendous and monstrous war crimes but demands the heads of lesser tyrants and criminals. What price for such overt HYPOCRISY and DOUBLE STANDARDS? A price soon to be extracted with interest! Why do ‘they’ hate us indeed!

George W Bush is not an aberration he is business as usual; his effort of only one million slaughtered Iraqi civilians is paltry compared to the record of his predecessors, yet he and senior members of his administration will, like Kissinger, walk free -- of that you can be assured. The installation of a black, COMPLIANT LACKEY as head of state ensures it – but at was price?

Every INNOCENT person maimed or killed by American terrorists leaves ten or twenty behind demanding justice and seething with hatred. They live for the day to return the ‘favour’ -- the punishment will fit the crime. What is an appropriate punishment for five million murders, I wonder?

Human nature RESISTS slavery and despises those who would exploit and enslave, more so those who utilise terror tactics to realise their criminal ambitions – the ‘Project for the New American Century’ has not endured for a decade! The sociopaths responsible for drafting the ‘plan’ have put the entire nation at risk; the punishment will no doubt fit the crime!

Surely it should now be obvious to ALL that America has learnt nothing; more bases in Central Asia with additional missile systems in Poland and the Czech Republic. America’s brazen effrontery in this region is more provocative to Russia than the Cuban missile crisis was to America!

In the past, America succeeded with massive monetary ‘incentives’ (bribes) and militarism; however, irresponsible and excessive currency printing today has compromised the value of the greenback. The elephantine US military has been compromised time and again with simple but extremely effective guerrilla tactics.

Suddenly the global balance of power has changed, the Cyclops is about to be taught a lesson it will never forget. All human societies of necessity punish murderers, what punishment is to be levied for the deaths of five million innocent civilians?
