Odd as it may seem too many to have 4 articles on Spirituality in the mix on political corruption those same probably find it just as confusing to have a commentary on those four articles. I have given this much thought and believe you find my reasons sound.
I still have no doubt that the Universe is made-up of various forms of vibrations enter-acting together. Some are stronger than the other upon meeting and the qualities of the stronger dominate.
The problem is through out our history the negative vibrations have proven to be the stronger. Wealth beyond ones dreams, religious control over the people, the absolute corruption of power through political positioning or riches has been the rule.
There have been times that offered the possibility of a true Spiritual awakening but they have been few and short lived, usually less than a decade.
I still believe in the power derived from deep meditation and thought on a subject but it must also be followed with word and than action. Unfortunately those who feel the way I do have keep it to the meditative and though and not paid enough attention the others which are unquestionably now known to be most important.
Through history the thoughts were thought, the words said and the action taken by the negative forces and the world has suffered greatly. Today we stand at such a juncture in our history, or the end of it. This is not just a point in our history that will become a meaningless page in some book but the accumulated strength of the negative we have known for thousands of years. It has only become more concentrated over the time giving it endless wealth and power.
In that way the body was built and when it was ready in the year two-thousand the head was placed on.
This was done when the loser of a Presidential Election was placed by the court in the White House: And this even with all the evidence of voter fraud.
His next move after filling all his Administration with all the dark minded individual’s he could muster, the Darkest of course being Cheney, was the tax cuts for the rich.
There are far too many different theories and unanswered questions concerning the events that led to and occurred on September 11, 2001 to discuss them here and going into Afghanistan after bin Laden was never questioned, not even his never getting caught.
The loss of our freedoms and civil liberties can be found in the emotionally hurried passage of the Patriot Act and its renewal to the blatant lawlessness that soon consumed the White House.
Then the real damage came on October 11, 2002 at 12:50 A.M. Eastern time. It was then that H.J 114 was passed. This bill gave Bush the authority to use United States Armed Forces against Iran. This has since become the authority to conduct a world wide war on terror and pre-emptive strike any country he deems as posing, attempting to pose or he simple chooses to call them a terrorist state or one that harbors terrorist.
The vote was 77 yea and 22 nay which means one didn’t vote and at least 30 Democrats voted for the war. This can only mean that these 30 Democrats were blinded by the lies they were pounded with daily by the Bush Administration and his controlled media or else they were too busy at fundraisers to do their homework. Bush’s New War Drums for IranBy Ray McGovern on August 21, 2007.
“Generally speaking, 80 percent of the information one needs to form judgments on key intelligence targets or issues is available in open media. I personally feel sending our soldiers off to war is an issue well worth researching.”
You will here nothing but how Iran is helping the Shite with arms and fighters. Iran is the devil in disguise. But nothing is said about the limitless flow of insurgents, weapons and money from Saudi Arabia to the Sunni. Much more detail can be found in Saudi Arabia Myth of Moderazation By Barabra Koeppell, Aug. 17, 2007 published in Consortiumnews.com.
This war was planned prior to Bush ever being sworn in and was and is about oil, period. I tried when to explain when it became apparent he intended to invade that the U.N. inspectors were there and there were no stockpiles of chemical weapons. There was no nuclear capacity and Joseph Wilson proved this in his op-ed, and Bush and company extracted a heavy price for telling the truth.
Iraq had virtually no army except the Republican Guard; he had no connection to al Qaeda and could not have been farther from the events of September 11.
During the first Gulf war, if our elected officials had a memory that is, they would have know that Saddam hid his air force in Iran to keep the Americans from destroying it but when the war was over and he lost so shamelessly they simply kept it. So neither did he have a viable army, he had no air force.
He was the perfect target, he could not defend himself against the likes of American Military force and he had the oil as well as position. So the lies were spun and the American people were plummeted with them until people started to believe them. If you keep catapulting a lie enough people will believe it to be true.
Amy Goodman, writing for Democracy Now and posting an article on AlterNet on July 9, 2007 titled Iraqi Oil Workers’ Union Founder: U.S. Backed Oil Law Is “Robbery” Details the inequity and greed of American Corporations contained in the law which the Iraqi’s are required to pass and this clause is number two on the list, well above security. “The proposed oil law facing the Iraqi cabinet would allow Western oil companies to take about 50% of all production as their share, an "obvious robbery of the Iraqi oil,"
When the lies that led us into this war began to come to light the reasons were changed and the lies simply brushed over as if they had never been said.
The new story was that we were giving the Iraqi people freedom, the right to make their own decisions. Unfortunately this is also proving to be a lie.
The majority of Iraqi people want us out, they say we are making the situation worse, but we won’t leave. Blackwater was told by the Iraqi Government to cease all operations and leave the country because they murdered up to 20 civilians. But the Iraqi Government, unlike the lies we are pelted with by Bush does not make its own decisions. In steps the State Department and four days later Blackwater is back in operations in Iraq.
Now, only days after the Bush Administration intervened to over-ride the will of the Iraqi government, Blackwater is under investigation for smuggling weapons into Iraq.
Earlier I used the term position. My belief on the term position is personal but proving sound. The Administration thought the taking and controlling of Iraq would be simple. A short walk in the park, I mean God forbid the rebels would take up arms against their invaders and lash out at those who have suppressed them for so long.
But it is my belief that if it had gone as smoothly as the Administration had planned, then permanent bases would have been built, He has already said publicly he can foresee bases like in South Korea where they have been for 50 years.
Next the Bush War machine would have made a sharp right hand turn leading into Iran. If that went well than Syria would have been next. Only things didn’t go as the royal class foresaw.
But as we have become painfully aware Bush will never change his plans or admit he was wrong. Just what are the conditions that could result from the actions taken by this illegally placed administration? What might this man have created that we must face? What has he caused to happen in the most volatile area in the world and he has done so for oil.
We are now in the middle of a civil war in Iraq. We claim control but we only have partial security in 47% of the Green Zone (CNN). The rest of Iraq is like the bad lands of the old west. Iraqis are supplying only 8% of the security.
British Commanders has repeated said we are understaffed in Afghanistan and coming close to loosing it completely. We have lost our allies in the warlords of the north with our new war on opium so we, as in Iraq, have partial control of one city and say we control the country.
Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf has just won the right to run again for President and remain a General in the Army. He took over the country in a coup and may well win this election considering his ability to rig the out come. Yet opposition against him is so strong among the people he could just as easily be overthrown in a revolt. In fact Forbes.Com reported from the Oxford Analytica September 21, 2007 that “An Islamist Web site said it will carry a new video in which Osama bin Laden will declare war on Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf.”
Iran and Syria have been meeting for a considerable amount of time ironing out the details of economic and military alliances. One of the concessions is that Iran will arrange large sales of arms from Russia and others. But this will also, if it hasn’t already, lead to the agreement that if you attack Iran it’s the same as attacking Syria and vise versa.
Bush has never altered his plans for the invasion of Iran. His declaring Iran as the main problem in Iraq, Bush doesn’t look in mirrors or he would see the real problem. From the war games off the coast of Iran to the kidnapping of Iranian Diplomats, and the declaring of the Revolutionary Guard as a terrorist organization.
But the simple act of declaring of the Revolutionary Guard as a terrorist organization he has also declared Iran as a nation that harbors a terrorist organization. To him this is the legal right for a pre-emptive strike against Iran.
In Bush Puts Iran in Crosshairs by Ray McGovern, a member of the American Legion, was an Army infantry/intelligence officer in the sixties. He then served as an analyst with CIA and is now on the Steering Group of Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity, Published on Consortiumnews.com August 30, 2007 Ray McGover begins with these words: “Not another warning about war with Iran! Well, suck it up. President George W. Bush’s speech Tuesday makes clear his plan to attack Iran, and how the intelligence, as was the case before the attack on Iraq, is being “fixed around the policy.”
While President Bush refuses to commit on the matter it is well known that he was consulted prior to the attack. In The New York Time on September 21, 2007 in an article by Steven Lee Myers and Steven Erlanger they quote “Current and former American and Israeli officials have said they gave the Bush Administration advance notice of the attack.”
When planning first began for the attack on Iran the Pentagon had chosen 200 targets. Now that total has risen to over 1,200. It’s time for Bush to take off the blinders and not expect the outcome he initially expected in Iraq. Iran will fight back with full force.
In an article by Hossein Jaseb and Fredrik Dahl published by REUTERS on September 21, 2007 the statement is very clear. TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran told Western powers on Saturday they would regret any attack over Tehran's nuclear activities and it rolled out a display of missiles and other military hardware to back the warning. "Our message to the enemies is: Do not do it," the head of Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards, Mohammad Ali Jafari, said, speaking to reporters less than a week after France's foreign minister publicly raised the prospect of war.
You can still say we have Saudi Arabia and a few other countries about the size of a small state or medium ranch, like the one Bush has spent more time at than the White House. And we did just authorize 20 Billion Dollars in military aid to so it “could defend itself against Iran.” Too many, including myself, this indicates definite plans to attack Iran.
Eventhough the Saudi Royal family has control over the country now the majority of the population is young, and educated to hate the west and there is extremely strong hatered for the wealthy class by the poor which has over a 70% unemployment rate. Does anyone really believe Saudi could win in a war against Iran, Syria and the internal uprising of the poor. Not me.
To offset the hard feeling between Israel of the 20 Billion we have authorized the Saudi government, of whom Saudi is a strong enemy, we raised the military allocation to Israel, but all this has caused distrust and a somewhat withdrawal from India.
So what has our master and commander done to us?
He has set our troops in Iraq in position where they may soon be fighting the internal civil war as well as the flow of troops from Iran and Syria. While the Royal Family has control of Saudi Arabia it also has a majority of young, uneducated men with a strong hate for Americans and an unemployment rate of 70%. This makes the poor very rebellious and I doubt the Royal Family can fight off Iran, Syria and internal revolution all at the same time. Our troops in Iraq would be surrounded and vastly outnumbered.
Should the population of Pakistani, which hates Musharraf, answer bin Laden’s call to war Pakistani would not last long and that would lock our troops in Afghanistan but give the radicals another country to retake Afghanistan. Worse it would give bin Laden nuclear weapons and the scientist who was selling all the secrets to rouge nations.
Syria would take Lebanon before dinner and with Saudi on the other side the threat to Israel would become greater than ever. They would have only one chance of survival… nuclear weapons would fly.
So this man, who was not legally elected to office the first and possibly the second time, has placed all the blocks in place so when they begin to fall we will have a radical terrorist union reaching from Syria to Afghanistan. He has set the stage for World War III.
Can the power of our thoughts and meditations help at this point? Not much unless we can convince Bush and anyone associated with him to take a vacation until after the next election. That is if there is one.
The mushroom clouds Bush has promised you all these years will come. They just won’t come from Iraq.
