<p>SEARCH FOR REAL ENEMY CENTERED IN WASHINGTON</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>By Jim Townsend</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The main enemy facing the American people is not located in
|
|
Iraq, Moscow, Havana or Peking. It,s located in Washington, D.C.
|
|
and it's ruled over by elected congressmen and women who in an
|
|
unholy alliance with its tens of thousands of bureaucrats, are out
|
|
to skunk the civilian population of this nation.
|
|
|
|
Government, as it's known, is a big business and, just like the
|
|
multinational corporations, this government has been allowed to
|
|
spawn. It's dedicated to reducing its citizens to paupers. As the
|
|
script is written, if everything goes as planned, the New World
|
|
Order will see the merger of the U.S,, Soviet Russia and, perhaps,
|
|
even England. If it goes as the script is written, "We, the People"
|
|
will have come full circle from near political slaves to freedom
|
|
under a constitution to political slaves under the New World Order.
|
|
|
|
Once the New World Order has been implemented, just as the
|
|
people in Russia came to understand under communism, the state is
|
|
the total authority and owns every thing.
|
|
|
|
The unseen forces that have been dedicated to this New World
|
|
Order have been plotting, planning and working for the day when
|
|
freedom as we have come to know it, will be a thing of the past.
|
|
Private business and competition will cease to exist. Once again,
|
|
central planning will bet the order of the day; people will work
|
|
where their political commissar dictates and live in whatever part
|
|
of the world they are forced to move.
|

YESTERDAY'S WORRIES
|
|
|
|
Only yesterday, the people were worried about the collapse of
|
|
the savings and loan companies that were projected to cost the
|
|
taxpayers up to a half-trillion bucks. Banks were failing, the real
|
|
estate moguls were starting to see their empires go under the
|
|
hammer, Congress was working night and day to heap more taxes on
|
|
the backs of the already bent taxpayers and, to top it off, a
|
|
national election was just around the corner. These were just some
|
|
of the problems facing our so-called national leaders. What to do?
|
|
|
|
Well, if one could find a trusting Mideast dictator who was
|
|
hurting from an eight-year war and having trouble selling his oil
|
|
at what was needed to pull his country out of a military sinkhole,
|
|
it could be just the ticket to take people's minds off domestic
|
|
problems that seem insurmountable on the home front.
|
|
|
|
Finding a greedy and brutal Mideast dictator was easy enough.
|
|
With just the slightest hint from the U.S. State Department that
|
|
our government would not oppose a move on territory that had been
|
|
politically chopped off the dictator's country in the past, you
|
|
have a gift-wrapped diversion from the domestic problems on the
|
|
home front.
|
|
|
|
Just what was needed,. Now, quickly assemble as many of the armed
|
|
forces as possible, rush them overseas to the sand dunes of Saudi
|
|
Arabia, confront the double-crossed dictator and demand that he
|
|
leave Kuwait or else.
|
|
|
|
WORKED LIKE A CHARM
|
|
|
|
By accident or design, it worked like a charm and suddenly all
|
|
the talk was about Saddam Hussein, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, troop
|
|
movements, military demands and what was going to happen next.
|
|
|
|
Suddenly, the media, printed or electronic, were no longer
|
|
talking about our cosmetic problems. While the Justice Department
|
|
continued to indict and arrest savings and loan officials, the
|
|
focus was on Kuwait and Hussein. The rip-off the Congress and the
|
|
president loaded on all taxpayers' backs was shoved completely into
|
|
the background. The domestic pressure that had congressmen and
|
|
their political parties so worried just seemed to fade away.
|
|
Result? Almost 100 percent of incumbents were re-elected. The
|
|
national movement to throw the bums out had not only fizzled, it
|
|
had completely flopped.
|
|
|
|
Elections are history for another two years, but the problems
|
|
"We, the People" are facing in the coming months ar only beginning.
|
|
We don't know if Congress is going to allow President George Bush
|
|
to usurp the right of Congress to get us into a shooting war. The
|
|
public must react with letters, phone calls and telegrams to their
|
|
congressmen immediately. People must let Bush know we are not
|
|
willing to pay the cost of fighting someone else's war at the
|
|
expense of 30000 or more body bags full of our young soldiers.
|
|
|
|
A WAR NOT WORTH WINNING
|
|
|
|
We must let the Bush administration know that we are not going
|
|
to buy any more government-instigated, no-win wars. We were
|
|
suckered into a no-win war in Korea and another one in Vietnam. All
|
|
undeclared but paid for by some 100000 of the cream of the crop of
|
|
our youth. It is my contention that a war not worth winning is not
|
|
worth fighting and that the right of determining if this nation is
|
|
to engage in a war belongs to the people who must make their views
|
|
known to Congress.
|
|
|
|
If this war gets off the ground, as it appears it will, and if
|
|
Saddam Hussein decides to stand and fight, as most military men
|
|
seem to feel he will, we could be locked up in a war for years.
|
|
Saddam Hussein has already shown he not only will fight, but is
|
|
willing to see untold thousands of his troops killed and wounded if
|
|
he can inflict heavy casualties on his enemy.
|
|
|
|
When the Bush body bags start coming back by the hundreds and
|
|
thousands, the public is going to have a fit. By then, however,
|
|
we'll be too involved to get out. Thus, the time to act is now.
|
|
Don't let the Washington warlords use Saddam Hussein to promote a
|
|
shooting war to bring on the New World Order. Act now.</p></xml> |
