What are we gonna do now? Attack
So what does the administration do now? The stage is set (and has been for a long while) for the attack on
A few
Look, we have a problem here:
- It is hard to keep convincing the world that Iran, who is many years (maybe 15 years) away from actually having a nuclear bomb and surrounded by US client territories (and forces), is as big a threat as the Kim Jong-il regime who has as many as eight working nuclear weapons now, according to some experts.
- Couple that with the fact that N. Korea is part of the “War on Terror’s” “Axis of Evil”, it is hard to justify the administrations’ public and aggressive march toward war with a country like
- As a side concern, guess who are North Korea’s big allies? China. Hmm, China seems to be an ally with everyone we have a “problem” with yet we buy a major portion of our goods from there (free trade you know), much more than we export (just turn over the mouse you’re holding, your watch, pen, calculator, phone, hundreds of parts in your cars and computers, furniture, appliances… you get the idea. Oh well. Libya, Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia are also N. Korea’s friends, to name a few. And although deteriorated since the “fall” of the USSR, Russia.
Perhaps that is why the administration and talking heads are playing the test down to “alleged” or being smaller than claimed. I’ve been pointing out for almost a year that an attack on Iran is definite and probably next in the view of our Neo-conservative leaders. When I wrote to my congressman about Iran, he confused “Iraq” for my concern. Those rascally Pages must have been too distracted by messages from their bosses to get my letter in the right form letter pile. Oh, back to the topic…
But there are other, more serious reasons the N. Korean threat must be down played.
- US Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld was on the board of the company that sold two nuclear reactors to the North Koreans for $200 million only to place them on the “Axis of Evil” list two years later. Look into that one a little bit patriotic American. But that seems to be the same story over and over again with this current bunch. The good Secretary has been on the profitable end of many nationally harmful transactions in years past. The “Trading with The Enemy Act” should be applied to this guy like it did for Prescott Bush (Google Prescott Bush Nazis for another eye opener topic.) Good “conservative” leaders do not do these things, fascist privateers do!
- Not only that, to protect key Saudi interests, including the Bin Laden family, the Bush administration stopped an investigation into the Pakistani agency Khan Research Laboratories (according to the BBC). This is who transferred to N. Korea a couple dozen P-1 and P-11 centrifuges, making the recent nuclear test possible (according to the London Independent). Do an internet search for Bush Khan and see what you begin to find. Good “conservative” leaders do not do these things, fascist privateers do! (By the way you will find similar actions by this administration protecting the Bin Ladens before and after 9-11! See “FBI claim Bush said 'back off' bin Laden before 9/11” – The UK Guardian, and “TIA now verifies flight of Saudis” – St. Petersburg Times. Do an internet search on Bush Bin Laden connections for more surprises.)
MOST IMPORTANT PART OF THIS WRITING: My “radical” suggested solutions: True conservatives would focus on the true defense of our country, try these:
- Close the borders, both of them, completely, build a thick wall and install a DMZ and station our armies there, all of them (we have a bunch, but they are everywhere but here.)
- Defend our shores permanently with our warships, every fleet, and every ship (we have a bunch, but they are everywhere but here.)
- Establish real missile defenses all around the entire country. We have exotic technologies in this area (we have a bunch, but they are everywhere but here… well they are protecting key government facilities… and for crying out load, find out why those at the Pentagon were turned off that one crystal clear fall day in 2001!)
- Lastly, and this is a big one, require all citizens to be well armed and trained to use those arms proficiently. Let them carry personal weapons legally everywhere in the US, no permit required (currently only criminals can do this, with a few exceptions.) Gun totting Americans, even on commercial aircraft. Catastrophic depressurization due to a bullet is a movie myth, but a couple well armed citizens would stop any hijacker in seconds with minimal collateral damage in most cases. I guarantee a reduction in bank robberies, muggings, hijackings and especially “school shootings”, after a few foiled incidents of course. As we have seen time and time again, the police cannot and will not be everywhere! The founders intended this, research it! Look at the statistics, it’s undeniable, where more gun laws exist, crime goes up! And ask any dictator in history, gun control works! Would this be dangerous? Statistically those who are comfortable handling personal weapons, like concealed permit holders, are safer, execute better judgment and are more proficient than average law enforcement and government agents with them. Gun control is evil!
- In order to have the ability and items in the future to maintain any of the above, require our manufacturing to move back to America or we are at the mercy of every other nation on the planet, especially China. We will continue to be required to send our military everywhere to “protect our interests” if this does not happen – one of the root problems in my opinion.
Call it isolationism if you want, study the founders and see if this is how they thought. Would this “radical” list cost too much? How much has and will endless war with every “rogue” entity (apparently anyone who is “not with us”, abroad and here) cost? I propose that implementing these suggestions would save money, and lots of it, but who am I? Would it be perfect? No, but at least we would have true defense in America again.
So I ask again, what are we gonna do now? I predict a continued push by the administration to downplay the N. Korean threat while we march onward towards the Iran “option”, as long as Kim Jong-il doesn’t keep escalating the threat too much.
Research the agendas as set forth by PNAC (Project for a New American Century) proponents currently in power. It involves complete control and regionalization of the Middle East militarily and the resources are not there to deal with both theaters simultaneously at this time… by conventional warfare anyway. The administration has authorized the use of “tactical” nuclear weapons against Iran and the Pentagon has delivered tactical nukes to our ally Israel as well.
Please pray for our nation.
