What is going unnoticed and silenced by media, government and new candidates in this country is that the U.S. is dead broke. The Federal Reserve has been floating our debt by printing money to pay for the two wars that are basically going no where. Yet we are stubborn, we must WIN, and kill more, terrorists ALL, even if it cripples us in a debt even our grandchildren will find hard to repay.

What is pathetic, is that instead of seeing U.S. events clearly and calling for accountability for the horrendous crimes our own government is committing day after day, year after year and addressing THAT situation, the progressive left turns their attentions to another unsolvable, Sudan. Perhaps, they think that by pointing fingers (rightly) at other nations genocide and crimes, we can conveniently throw off attention to the filthy corruption and blood bath attributed to our own, and forget the responsibility we were given- to keep our own government in check, the blood that is on our own hands for allowing ourselves to be lied to and wars of aggression and occupation to be carried out in OUR name.

Why has Obama not been questioned thoroughly on the illegality of the Iraq war? Why is he backing Bushs’ hard stance on a fake Iranian threat of having nuclear power? Every intelligence report has said that after numerous inspections over the years that Iran is not building nuclear bombs, however Americans listen to Fox news and although Iran has no nuclear capabilities, but Isreal DOES, somehow, we need to defend Israel by nuking Iran ourselves. Nuclear bunker busters we are talking about! Not something ‘strategic and military’. Something that will kill and maim so many more innocent people who did nothing to us and begged for nothing to be done to them time and time again over the last 8 years, if not more.

Now, we Americans, are expected to turn to that same corrupt body to ‘fix’ genocide in Darfur? These are killers we are talking about! They could care less about 300,000 dead African’s, Iraqi’s, Iranians or Americans for that matter. They have an agenda, and it has nothing to do with ANYONE”s well being, except Family Dynasties, big money, arms sales, private mercenary companies, oil companies (not gasoline or home heating for you and I) and continued domination, in fact possibly WW3.

What I said to you Jeff, was that ‘Darfur was a ‘side issue’ for us, with the many issues we are currently dealing with on a domestic front. I said, ‘We are in two endless wars, the country is broke. We have internal issues that need to be dealt with first.” If I did not, this is what was meant.
We did not have much time to talk and you said you would call me back, but didn’t at the time. You can’t take a 10 minute conversation in a car, in a hurry, as a total and complete perspective, but we’ve sometimes been clearer through writing. (sometimes not!)

It’s not that I don’t care about Darfur, I have room to care about many things. What I, and we in the United States may need to begin to care about is our own state of total corruption, the pain and bloodshed the US, as a Republic, by elected representatives supposedly to carry out our positions-are causing in the world and to us as citizens. The Police State surveillance society and stolen rights through fear used against us that is being implemented right here, as frogs slowly boiled in a pot of apathy.
This is not in total self interest. If we become incapacitated and powerless, lay down in front of our own government, if we cannot hold them accountable for their crimes, for our own detriments and the misery caused in our own name, we will never again be relied upon to do have clout to help any other nations, even as an allegedly free (cough) people, lest be called terrorists and insurgents ourselves. Or, be so impoverished, oppressed and in fear, ourselves, to be able to help anyone.
In case no one noticed, we have lost our voices in government. George Bush is quoted with saying, ““Stop throwing the Constitution in my face,” “It’s just a goddamned piece of paper!”

We need to stop looking to government for answers and to solve problems, unless we are going to take advantage of our right to redress, for real and for good, with consequences.
