Peace is a Revolutionary Idea in the Land of the Free!!!

Consider for a moment that, despite repeated attempts by many in the populace to push the elected officials into making peace the primary agenda, members of the Democratic Party, whose congressional members were elected precisely because the American People are fed up with President Bush's warmongering, continue to say in their public statements that they still have ABSOLUTELY NO AGENDA. They continue to side with the preposterous concept of bipartianship, in this case APPEASEMENT, of the rubbish policies of 'pre-emptive defense' and other nonsense uttered by the Bush Dynasty and its paramilitary force of corporate lobbyists, cronies of the military-industrial complex, and evangelical Quiverfull movement, a hardline Protestant Christian following that advocates giving birth to many children to create 'Soldiers for Christ'.

A German friend of mine asked me what my solutions are. I say to him, and to others, that everything's gone to lucre, FILTHY FLIPPIN LUCRE! Everything within reason, that is. Legislation, as is, has become entirely ineffective. The only way to win against the chicken hawks is to convince those doing the fighting to stop.

So far, I've joined a movement called the Appeal for Redress (www.appealforredress.org). This is an organization of fellow active-duty, reserve, individual ready reserve, and guard members of all branches of the Uniformed Services of the USA, that are exercising their legal rights under DOD regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice, to seek a redress from the war in Iraq from their congressional representatives. It's running fairly small, however, and I personally have become very isolated, damn near everyone else in my unit has succumbed to the dehumanization of the Iraqi population, openly glorifying more and more brutal means of dealing Americanized 'freedom' upon those who seek not democracy, but the preservation of their religious identity, having lived for so long in such a strong environment of religious fervor, that they are unprepared to succumb to the secularization of the West that they so abhor. Culture endures in the Middle East over the Crusades of the 21st Century, a war against the 'Islamo-Fascists'...RUBBISH. FILTHY STINKING RUBBISH. It's all about the oil, and overcoming OPEC, which has hampered the American military-industrial complex's progress in the world, and allows nations like China and Russia to reap the rewards of neo-conservative realpolitik ruining the greatness that is America, which has been in drastic decline since the 'Golden Days of Reaganomics'.

So you want my solution? People need to realize that financing a great and powerful military does NOT work in the favor of all Americans, but empowers the fearmongering neo-conservative military industrial complex to misuse and abuse the great power of America, to use that power for evil, and enrich the profits of the few, whilst the masses pick up the metaphorical check. The Cold War military must die; the Peace Dividend must be realized; America will die if it 'stays the course'.

A Good Show for All Ages

Initiation

Hello Internet! Bleah, so bland. Tacos for President?

Anywho, my name is Marc Train. I'm an American Soldier. I took an oath to defend the Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic.

I've always known that leaving an enemy in your rear areas unchecked would likely lead to your destruction. Little did I realize how true that was until I started reading alot about what's going on in America.

The greatest enemy to our Constitution is not Al Qaeda, or North Korea, or Iran, or whatever made-up enemy that Bush decides we need to trounce.

No, my fellow Americans, it is our government. It is both the Republicans and the Democrats, and anyone that follows these parties blindly. It is the private corporate merchant banks who control the American currency system through a private bank that runs just like CitiBank called the Federal Reserve. It is the IRS who initiated the very illegal Federal Income Tax, of which there is absolutely nothing in the Internal Revenue Code that says we have to pay it (and there's absolutely no reason to).

So now I see the truth, that the real enemy is already on our shores, is in plain sight everyday on the television, and is right now taking away your money that you earned with your blood, sweat, and tears, and laughing all the way to the bank as they, these 40 or 50 or 60-year-old fascists ponder what their next yacht will look like, or what shiny trinket they will buy for their 21-year-old wives (likely their 4th or 5th wife by now).

And I now realize that the true fight is here. That simply placing our faith in Congress (which is entirely powerless in almost any regard), The President (who really could care less about our problems), or the Supreme Court (who, like Congress, is really powerless) is to allow the fascist establishment as defined by Benito Mussolini (fascism is the marriage of corporate power to state power) to determine our future.

Speaking of which, the National ID card initiative, which will more or less be like implanting tracking chips in every citizen (which is also being planned), is going to take place in May of 2008, will place us into a real state of fascism. Nobody is exempt from this. This isn't just for the Muslims or any specific group of people (like the Nazis making Jews wear gold stars on their clothes), this is for EVERYONE. This is the culmination of 93 years of a fascist takeover of the American nation, which started with the IRS secretly initiating a federal income tax (again, there is no law saying we are required to pay it), and will likely end up very soon with the establishment of the United States of Halliburton (or whoever buys us out first).

So, whoever happens to be reading this out there, and if you're American, please consider what you would do if every single facet of your lifestyle, from the clothes you buy, to the books you read, to the toilet paper and razors you buy, to the medical treatments you receive, EVERYTHING, were to be monitored by a tight-knit group of old farts who could care less what happens to you, and would think nothing but perhaps a slight hint of amusement if they were to send armed gunmen to raid your home and take everything away from you without provocation or justification, save that they are doing it "for your safety".

Wouldn't you be, at least, a little angry?
