The Free World and America’s ‘Fort Apache’ mentality

Remember how the west was ‘won;’ slaughtering buffalo, the principal food supply of plains Indians, and establishing Forts to secure outposts in the ‘Indian territories?’ All those treaties, lies and slaughtered natives, one and half centuries ago; but expansionist methods haven’t changed an iota. Welcome to Fort Bondsteel in Kosovo and hundreds of other American bases throughout the world! The hard reality of the situation is unmistakable, wherever an American base is built expect ‘dead Indians,’ lies, broken promises, flouting of law and/or rampant exploitation. Or to put it more directly expect murder, flagrant illegalities, cruel injustices and rapacious plunder for one purpose only -- FUCKIN’ MONEY!
Whatever the excuses, lies or guises it's all about facilitating the needs of American Transnationals and other Corporations. The whole gambit reduces to money, but at what cost? What do AMERICANS IN PURSUIT OF THEIR LIFESTYLE consider EXPENDABLE?
Iraq provides the most poignant answer today. One million innocent dead civilians -- a huge percentage of which are children -- and four million displaced persons IS NOT TOO HIGH A PRICE TO PAY FOR PARASITIC AMERICANS TO MAINTAIN THEIR PERVERSE LIFESTYLES!
Remember all those lies and the pretext of WMD to justify an illegal pre-emptive invasion? Remember the rhetorical shift to spreading ‘democracy and liberty’ throughout the Middle East when in fact it is clear to all that the illegal Iraq intervention was nothing more than a dirty OIL grab – at any cost! Bush himself let it slip in a recent press conference, ‘America now has interests to protect in Iraq' – we’re not leaving!
We knew it from the start but remained in denial; however, it's becoming more difficult to dismiss the costs of American expansionism -- the colour of OIL today is blood red and what a vile, criminal nation America has become!
But we have good news from Serbia. America imagines it can STEAL the Serbian heartland, Kosovo! It seems to think that Serbs are no different from plains Indians, Arabs and other loosely knit bands of fighters. Good! Make one move on Kosovo independence and we PROMISE YOU a lesson you will never forget, you filthy, lying, thieving, murdering, SCUM! You will regret the day you attacked the heart and soul of Serbia.
