Looking for the Wrong Things...

I am totally concerned that the entire population of this country has misread the intentions of this cabal that is running the country.

We are judging the president’s performance by how well he serves what we perceive as the best interests of this country. This is fitting because most president’s seemed wanting to fulfill their commitment to the American people and leave a legacy that they can be proud of.

Therefore, we are inclined to wonder why Bush seems so contrary, so interested in pursuing his own course which seems contradictory to the best interests of this country.

We raise questions about his contradictory nature, his “stubbornness, “ his inability to change direction.

But if you approach this subject from a different way, you may discover that his instransigence is intentional. He is not veering from a course of action because that course of action has to do with his narrow agenda and nothing at all do with what is best for America.

We knew at the very beginning that we were hiring a dynasty that was focused on oil and oil profits. It was in the blood of the father and it is in the blood of the son. They have both profited handsomely from oil profits through some might say conflicting relationships with foreign governments and policy “influentials” who seem to operate with untrammeled power and authority.

If we were to judge Mr. Bush in terms of how he has benefited the very rich and the powerful, no one would doubt that he has been very successful.

But that is simply one dimension of what is now shaping up as a plan that has little to do with a plan for America but is, in effect, a plan for the Dynasty.

If his objectives were to also fatten the larders of the military industrial complex, one would have to say that after nearly six years of investment in military technology and new esoteric forms of military hardware, if measured on those criteria alone, he would be rated very successful. You see boots on the ground require the money that has been redirected to military suppliers and technology providers.

And if you measure Bush on what he is doing now to create a North American Union, you would be inclined to say that he and his cohorts are running full speed ahead with most of America not even having an inkling of what his Union is trying to accomplish.

If you look closely, you will see his handiwork; it is in the new cross America highway systems that are being built between Mexico and the US. You can see it in the failure to do something about the illegal immigrants crossing over.

On Lou Dobbs the other night, the so-called architect of the new Union seems unable to shed any real light on the subject except to mouth homilies that seem logical unless you begin to analyze what is happening.

Informed observers are beginning to believe that the Union will eventually operate outside of government to contreol manufacturing and business. The advantage to business is that there will be no oversight; that they will be able to institute their own policies and, for the most part, avoid taxes. This would be the final straw in a government that has allowed big businesss to use Green Card labor, avoid taxes and set up overseas. It would be the beginning of the end for America which would become largely superfluous.

If such are his goals, and with the fact that this program has been promulgated in part by the Committee on Foreign Affairs, whose name by itself casts doubts as to whether America’s best interests are being served, we must admit that Bush has exceeded all of his goals.

So before we are inclined to denigrate the president’s performance, we might consider that our goals and his goals are two different things. From what we can now determine, it seems that he hnas been more than successful in the redistribution of America’s assets and the enduring wealth and power of his friends at the expense of all of the things America holds dear including democracy, liberty, equal opportunity, health care, jobs, the environment.

I am saddened that so few Americans including the media have troubled themselves enough to look into the question of power with questionable motives and the possibility that America’s goals in the long run have been sacrificed to near term, narrow interest,
self-serving agendas
