What Is The Greatest Danger?

For all the trouble that Iraq is causing worldwide and all the murderous deaths in Iraq itself, it is obvious that Bush has no intention of pulling out and one would be very hard-pressed to find any other politicians, Democrat or otherwise, who would, in fact, pull out of Iraq. That is why there has been no move for impeachment. Our politicians are, effectively, paid agents of finance capital and those "coupon clippers" want to smash any opposition to their international expansion and rule. Control of natural resources, open borders for investment invasion, compliant colonial governments. For all the Bush hooey about radical Islamists hating "our (ever diminishing) freedom" Osama was clear about opposing our presence in Saudi Arabia and our interference in Arab life. For a few thousand deaths on 9/11 we have managed so far to kill about one million Iraqis. As in felony murder we are responsible for deaths subsequent to our crime and our Iraqi invasion was a clear violation of international law. Thus, supporting Bush is supporting and condoning mass murder. For months there have been worried stories about when and in what manner the US will bomb Iran, and one may suppose that it will occur. However, in some ways such an act of aggression is but a small part of the picture. Official US policy is to tolerate no equals or serious rivals anywhere. The US insists on being the world despot, all the while trying to convince the people that it pursues democracy. To Dubya, Hilary, and the rest, democracy is what Goldman Sachs, the Carlyle Group, ExxonMobil, et al, want. If corporate America were patriots they wouldn't export jobs overseas, and if politicians were patriots they would tax the hell out of corporations that abandoned US towns leaving a wake of immiseration. The US was born with genocide against the native population and built up through slavery, mostly of Africans, and those who think those were merely aberrations in a history of freedom and equality are, at best, ignorant. And for those who think "it can't happen here" with the rise of fascism in America, well, fascism was born in the United States. The term fascism was coined by Mussolini and he called it the corporate state, an alliance between capital and politics and that idea came from the end of WW I where the US became Europe's creditor and replaced a world of mostly private lending to governments by government to government lending. The US of Woodrow Wilson pretty much began the era of the fusion of finance capital with political government. Benito and Adolf just pursued it with a passion born of necessity by the insistence of debt repayment to the US from devastated European countries. So, recently, we have been plied with news stories critical of Russia. Putin just today called the US's bluff by offering to accept a shared radar/missile site with the US in Azerbaijan and dropping Poland/Czech Republic. Madame Rice quickly responded that the US doesn't want to share! And that is the real danger we face: thermonuclear war against Russia. The US will brook no rivals, so a well-armed Russia must be destroyed. Yes, Bush and his cronies are that crazy. And if Americans want to put their money where their mouths are they will act to take control of politics and government in their own interests and not let those greedy, wealthy bastards destroy our very world.
