Greenspan Bashes Bush Over Spending

<<"My biggest frustration remained the president's unwillingness to wield his veto against out-of-control spending," Greenspan wrote. >>

Greenspan's "frustration" is understandable if we consider Bush as a "conservative." But, if we consider him as a right-wing revolutionary, his crazy spending splurge makes sense. Bush has a goal, perhaps, of destroying the US Government's role in social spending. I hope that this line of reasoning is not correct because if it is, the outcomes will be quite sad for the next generation or two or three.

If Bush is just a big dummy, which appears to be the case, and he is the puppet we suspect others of directing, then these magbuck spending days make sense from the perspective of those out to raid the US Treasury, which is going on daily, it appears.


The oil and the power that the control over the World's oil bestows is, in part, behind the Iraq war. The idea that Saddan Hussaine had weapons of mass destruction was pretty well proven faalse long before the US invasion of Iraq. Only the US public was successfully lead to believe in the propaganda manufactured by the White House and dominant media.

U.S. nuclear team ends survey in NKorea

North Korea's nuclear ambitions may be on the way out as the US and other countries offer aid in return for no-nukes policies.

In this positive course of events, there is a thread of the way it should be, World-wide.

Since my first philosophy class some 35 years ago, I have believed the role of the USA ought to be helping other countries with science, education, medicine, and other non-military fields of endeavor. It is true that my approach does not lead to riches for US corporation, but it does lead to peace and friendship between nations.

Two Soldiers Critical of War Die in Iraq

It could not be any sadder, but I am afraid that it will get a lot worse.

Read HERE.

"As responsible infantrymen and noncommissioned officers with the 82nd Airborne Division soon heading back home, we are skeptical of recent press coverage portraying the conflict as increasingly manageable and feel it has neglected the mounting civil, political and social unrest we see every day," the soldiers wrote.

Crime Scene Cleanup and Kotex

You just never know what you are going to find on a crime scene cleanup. On a recent trip to clean I removed bloody Kotex from the scene. Used Kotex, by the way, are the one object that causes me to gag.

So what do I do with these things? Do I toss them in my black bag, toss them in my black bag for red bag disposal as biowaste, or do I throw them in the trash can to be picked up on trash day with tons of other bloody feminine hygiene napkins?

So, I took the middle path. I placed them in a black bag as solid waste disposal and that way saved myself biowaste fees while remaining within socially acceptable feminine hygiene disposal practices.

Last, today is trash pickup day on my street. The sociologist inside me guesses that if we have 100 females on our street capable of menstruating, then we may have roughly 20 actually doing so. Of these 20, some 5 feminine hygiene napkins will be in the trash today for each female. This means that on my street alone, the trash truck will recover 100 feminine hygiene napkins.

By any crime scene cleanup measure, my street will produce a greater quantity of bloody objects than many multiple homicide scenes will produce.

Now that is something to think about!

Why I like Truth and Ralph Nader

I like plain, simple Truth. I like Ralph Nader because he speaks plain, simple truth.

This guy is like the son every parent wishes they had raised, but for his disregard of worldly goods and services, his disregard of power, fame, and fortune, and his willful disregard of our government's PR campaigns.

Ralph's comments on the upcoming, presidential election are just so right on!

Get these two comments:

1. Create a law that requires government representatives to draft their own children into any war that they vote "yes" upon.

2. Create a law requiring congress to ensure the same medical coverage for the entire US Population as they receive.

Simple isn't it. No bull. Just truth to power.

General Petraeus and Vietnam's Westmoreland

I was standing at attention as the great General Westmoreland stood in front of me, viewing my ectomorphic physic wrapped in my new jungle fatigues. I held my used M-16 fast-and-steady with both arms taunt, should the great general care to examine its elegance. (It may have been an M-15 at that time; I forget. It was like a "Matell" toy, we used to say.)

Little did the good general know that I had just minutes before suffered gastronomically in an outhouse for officers just yards away. With only two weeks in-country living on C-rations, I was becoming acclimated to the food, land, culture, and war. I would stand at attention no matter how powerful my gas attacks. I would suffer beyond pain while containing flatulence and cramps, "taking the pain" so as not to dishonor myself or those near me. (Yes, this is fact, not fiction.)

Westmoreland, if you were unaware, was God to 18 year-old infantry soldiers. And I, a private who had just violated my combat hardened infantry officers' poddy, would not further degrade myself, my parents, or my country! I stood ready to follow every order from this great man and his subordinates.

It happened that Westmoreland's words to the US Congress at this time (1965) and some years later were like the words of God, too. What Westmoreland said was the nature of the Vietnam war beast as far as the US population was concerned. It turned out that his words had about as much value as the crap I humbly deposited in the command officers' outhouse.

There was very little critical thinking at this time of history, sort of like today in the US Congress and White House, sort of like the sinking of the Maine in the Cuban harbor. As time passed and infantry life in Vietnam pressed my 5'11 1/2 " frame into a 135 pound fighting mass of nervous disorders, I found myself questioning arson in a new light. "Wasn't it wrong to burn someone's home, and isn't even more wrong to burn an entire village?" I asked my less-than-critical, 18 year-old, working-class mind. "Yep," it's wrong, I surmised, and then I vowed to live with this contradiction as if I had no part in its doing, though I would have dutifully destroyed any force interfering with our village-large-arson attacks. Vietnamese peasants were being taught lessons by the great, white general, and I, a private, had no standing to question his greatness, by God!

Now, fast forward to General Petreus yesterday as he basically reiterated the White House line on Iraq, 2007. Note what he did not comment on, too. Note that Petreus failed to comment on Iraqi casualties in any meaningful manner;

Note that Petreus failed to comment on Iraqi hospitals, water supplies, food supplies, and general welfare in any meaningful manner;

Note that Petreus failed to inform the US population that the terms "freedom fighters" were synonymous with last year's "insurgents" in any meaningful manner;

Note that Petreus failed to comment on the US weapons that made their way into the hands of Iraqis following the US invasion of Iraq, and he did not even bother to tell us where half of the weapons went that we gave to the Iraqi Army and police!

What I mean is that life is intolerable in Iraq for the general population and no one wants to bring this fact to light in any meaningful manner. The folks now fighting on the same side as the US were on the other side of the street last year. They fight the fundamentalist fanatics dedicated on returning all of Iraq to the middle ages.

Later, these same "freedom fighters," war lord troops, will again turn their weapons upon their fellow countrymen. I'm sure you will forget these words as my predictions turn out true. Most people forget when it is inconvenient to remember.

General Petraeus, like Westmoreland, is doing PR work for our government's monumental crime against the people of Iraq. Did Petraeus mention reperations for Iraq, by the way? I don't think he did so any more than Westmoreland did for Vietnam.

Last, if you were not aware, and this is important for all to know, Ho Chi Mein was a nationalist leader. I was a so-so soldier. I never met Ho Chi Mein, but I did encounter some of his volunteer supporters. That's the way it is.

Read A Bright Shining Lie: John Paul Vann and America in Vietnam (Paperback) if you too want to feel "peturbed." Read it to your children 3 times, and out loud!

The Downing Street Memo

The Downing Street Memo gives truth to the fact that George Bush planned the attack on Iraq without just cause.

I have had the above on my mind for the last week after seeing a piece of news featuring a young, US Marine injured by a road-side bomb. He will not be reading or hearing the Downing Street Memo because he lost his sight in both eyes and hearing in both ears. Kind of like "Johnny Got his Gun," but in this Marine's case, he has his limbs, filled with shrapnel as they are.

Perhaps George Bush should read the Downing Street Memo, if he can read.
