don't forget the sacrifice

DON’T FORGET THE SACRIFICE


I’ve mentioned more than once that I don’t consider myself a veteran. A veteran risks his life for his country. Someone that served in the military, either rear echelon or peace time, is merely a civil servant. When you place too much importance on someone “serving their country”, it opens up a huge can of worms, which I’ll explain in a moment. First, a big disclaimer. I love my country. I love the country that adhered to a Constitutional Republic. But loving your government is not the same as loving your country. Russians loved their country, not the Communist government. I fear and hate my government, which is the farthest thing from the originally intended form as you can get. I’m not naïve and I understand that even back two hundred years the system was far from perfect and you had groups trying to form a centralized government even then. You could even argue that the Articles Of Confederation were far superior to the Constitution. But putting all that aside, back in the day we were far closer to the founders intent than we have been for the last century. The last century belonged to the Bankers. Lock, stock and barrel. Lincoln wiped his ass with the Constitution, but the bankers made us eat and swallow that fecal smeared document. I don’t love my Banker controlled government, but I still love my country.

I’m writing this December 7th, Pearl Harbor Day. And every swinging Blog writing dingus out there is screaming, Don’t Forget The Sacrifice!!! So, let me join in on this parade. Surely we can’t forget the sacrifice of all the brave men that became fish food on that day. But why did they sacrifice their lives? To defend their country? No, they sacrificed their lives in a chess game, a game of world domination. I’m not trying to belittle their deaths. I’m saddened that they were sacrificed because there was no need. They weren’t defending our country, because our country was in no danger. Our colonial possessions, our imperial outposts might have been in danger. But our country itself was in no danger. I don’t feel pride in their deaths, merely outrage. The US was in no danger of war, and we were in no danger of starving or dying from the cold ( offensive attacks to survive are just a fact of life. That is justifiable war ). We might have been in a Depression, but it was made by the Bankers devaluing gold and creating credit. They profited from it, and I’ll wager a donut that we didn’t need a war to get out of a Depression, we needed to hang all the central bankers. At worse, we could have just turned to armament production and sold to both sides to get full employment without the need to go to war. The government and the bankers profited by both pushing us over an economic cliff and pushing us into a war. There was no need other than what they manufactured.

If we are going to celebrate the fact that thousands of military personnel were led to the sacrificial alter by the bankers, let’s not stop at Pearl Harbor. There are a lot more fallen heroes we dare not forget. Let’s remember the Revolutionary War soldiers who died so the war bond holders could profit off the vast tracts of land they could sell once the British were no longer in power. And you have to appreciate the civilian holders of paper currency “Continentals” ( we’ve already had hyperinflation here, thank you very much ). They had all their wealth confiscated. I won’t mention all the victims of the Indian Wars, since that was a fair fight. Indian tribes killed each other and stole each others land, so turn-about is fair play. But I would like us to all remember the dead Federal soldiers who sacrificed so that the federal government could henceforth rule over the States without hindrance. I’d like to thank those that gave up their lives aboard the Maine so that we could gain Puerto Rico and the Philippians from Spain, the start of our glorious empire. I think we should remember the sacrifices of the Doughboys who made enormous profits for the bankers. Thank you, each and every civilian that owned gold and turned it into FDR, getting back Greenbacks that immediately depreciated 40%. You didn’t give up your lives for our masters betterment, but you did sacrifice years of toil and sweat. You understood that you weren’t capable of making the decisions in regards to your own savings and allowed your betters to do so. Thank you, all the moonshiners and rum runners who gave your lives so our embryonic Police State could be born. Thank you to all the soldiers that sacrificed so that we could take over control of most of the globe from Great Britain. Thank you to all our present generation of casualties who sacrificed their lives or their health so that the American people could continue to drive SUV’s and the bankers could save their teetering house of cards.

Do I need to continue? Defending your country from actual attack ( the Japanese didn’t attack because they weren’t busy enough in China, we pushed them quite a bit behind the scenes. FDR wanted in a war, badly. And yet, after Pearl Harbor, we scrimped on resources for the Pacific, mostly concentrating on Europe. That was the original war aim ) is one thing ( again, Hawaii was an imperial outpost, not part of the country ). Or, if your population will die if you don’t attack your neighbor and steal his resources, that is also justified. But to be killed because of others desire for extra riches or extra power, that is just sad and wrong. There is nothing noble about it. It is as senseless as a baby in a stroller on the sidewalk being hit by a drunk driver. I don’t disparage the soldiers and squids who died, I do however think it wrong that civilians use their deaths as an excuse. An excuse to profit, an excuse to justify the new war of theft. An excuse to justify a standing army that colonizes the planet. In case any of you flag waving zombies out there forgot, that is something else that is unconstitutional ( the standing army ). Like those warrentless wiretaps your heroic boys in blue are setting up. The Nazi’s were great on waving flags. And great justifying rounding up Jews. We wave the flag as Muslims are rounded up, and are too stupid to see we are next. Really? Does thinking hurt that much? I weep.
