don't be surprised if you come out as dirty as you are.
It is unfortunate that we have lost to old age and illness most of our older reporters. They had the historical links which are now being buried under the slide of propogandist mud which is left unaddressed due to the non-stop chaos on a world-wide basis.
For a time, the world was relatively peaceful except for Vietnam and Israel/Palestine. Not so any more. The primary motivating factors in these current wars, internal and otherwise, are power and greed, the daily chaos caused unceasing. And the IRA wants atention again. Yes, I have to take a withdrawal from my Dad's I.R.A. so he can pay the sot of his care. Apparently the government doesn't feel that eating is a medical need. They refuse to assist in payment for what they term "custodial care", which includes making sure people eat and don't sit about all soiled of themselves. It bankrupts families who cannot find an alternative to the demand of paying someone up to $1,200.00 per week to sit on their butt, have all their bills and food paid and not do very much. If the total work time is 20 hours a week, that would be a surprise. Some of them think they merit that just for taking a blood pressure reading and giving twice a day oral medicine. Things are out of control in the US and the Government is in collusion with the perpetrators. They sanctify the actions and refuse to pay for or limit them. Care may be available, but it's not attainable. Yet those lies permeate the airwaves. People here hate their own lives. They work when they are too sick or in too much pain to do a proper job. And that is the problem with american products. There are no fences around our political prisoners and slaves, but they are here just the same and they take their wrath out on other countries for not suffering the same. Rarely do but a few who are of means really care that anyone else in the world is suffering except to think things could be worse. They could also be a whole lot better.It is a sick nation. All the advertisements for sex toys, for newlyweds?, someone is telling everyone to go and f_ _ _ themselves. Maybe it'll make them less aggressive and confrontational. Maybe removing the chemicals from the diets will do that. Maybe giving medical care to the ailing will make them not want to lash out at everyone. As many reasons as there are problems. Killing a man who is the hero of his people will not make those problems go away.
As for the US claims that they didn't want the Taliban erecting any shrines to bin Laden, they don't need a body to do that; however, it was the Taliban who destroyed all the shrines and staues and historical and religious tributes to all the histroy of Afghanistan. Hardly likely to erect a shrine or anything of the like.
The USA really didn't care about terrorists until they themselves got hit. Sure, they postured and preened. But they were more interested in satisfying their greed. They didn't go into Afghanistan because of terrorists. They would have done so when the Taliban first began it's reign of destruction and terror and the people begged relief. They went in because of the poppies growing in the fields.
It's not just the insatiability of the street trade for poppy-derived rugs that motivates this. They could very easily have negotiated, quite legally, to have the farmers provide the pharmaceutical companies with what medical product was needed. But Merck, Sharp & Dome are a greedy lot. They don't want to share with anyone. They even attempted to coerce the Canadian Government to change it's laws to disallow anyone else to manufacture anything Merck brought for a "moratorium" of no competition for seven years, just like it is in the USA. Is it any wonder the people can't afford to buy their medicine and the government doesn't want to pay the price they themselves allow? The sky's the limit when it comes to pricing such things. So in the eyes of Merck and the like, no one else has any right to make the same thing they make. Among those things is morphine, cocaine, & otherwise medically legal but street-illegal drugs. Sure there was another way. But when politician's pockets are lined with drug money and the companies direct their employees who to elect, why stop and think of alternatives or consequences? Merck's objectives were met. No competition in the drug market.
Today NJN carried a report that cases of asthma has somewhere near doubled. Hey, guess what, it's not the cigarettes after all. This place was dubbed "cancer alley" because of the incidence of cancer rates along the corridor beginning at Rahway NJ and north past Kearny and Secaucus. That hasn't been cleaned up. It almost cost me my life. And add to that all the hormones and antibiotics we're forced to consume because they are in our milk, our cows, our chickens. Yet they denounce Germany for refusing to accept beef tainted by chemicals. German farmers hold a very high standard for the keeping of their animals. It's called pasture raised, and scrupulously clean. I couldn't believe what I saw in the US- cattle knee deep in the mud and the rain...poor creatures. And it goes deeper. It's disgusting. In addition, most of the food has synthetic growth accellerators added to it. If it makes food grow faster and bigger, it probably makes something else do the same. And of late, even bagged potting soil supposedly sterile, grows funguses on it inside of two days after watering.
And yes, for me it is very personal. Because Merck funded much of the anti-cigarette movement and it's advertising concurrent with the time when working on their job site had me going to the hospital to have my eyes cleaned out because they were oozing puss so badly I had to use warm wet washcloths just to opens them up. The skin was oozing and peeling on my face and arms, my hair was falling out in clumps and I still have scars. I can't use styling products and even most shampoos and soaps now cause a skin reaction since then. And of course, I was breathing the stuff in, which resulted in a sever lung infection, COPD/asthma and nearly dieing. And they insisted it was the cigarettes. Well, here's some news: 34 years later, being exposed to cigarettes on a daily basis, NONE OF THE ABOVE HAVE OCCURRED. I say exposed to because I don't, and never really have, smoked the things. They're a prop, a toy; I light them up, draw some into my mouth and out it goes. Coffee and blueberries cause the stains on my teeth, as well as no access to dental care do to the government refusing to pay for it and the dentists being greedy and wanting to sell not what the patient needs but what they want so they can buy their million dollar houses. And the pain I am in on a daily basis cause me to clench my teeth so hard I broke almost all of them. In fact, the headaches of the past week caused another one to break last night. And I'm going to get the money from where to pay for this on an income of $932. per month, after they refused to pay for medicine which cost me $207.50 for a one month supply and will be needed on an ongoing basis because the pain, the stress, the aggravation, the noise pollution keep me from sleeping. But somehow or another I'm supposed to be in love with this Hell they have created here.
I don't care how many phony documents they want my signature on. They refused to accept the documents which contained the truth, destroying them on the spot, and opting instead for the falsified information. Do they really think Osama Bin Laden went in and applied for building permits in his own name in Pakistan? How naive. So now who can't be trusted? The man who sends in "Trojan Horses" which has other countries trying to identify just which computers they are in or the people who were promised aid in exchange for limiting their poppy sales? Soemthing that began as my idea in offering the Columbians higher prices for their coffee if they'd grow it instead of drugs instead. But coffee can't compete with the need of "Americans" to escape their existence. And that is the reason they are on drugs in the first place. From what I understand not having done so myself, one time is all it takes. The pain goes away, the poverty goes away, the stress goes away and they're willing to do almost anything to go to that mental place rather than the one they're in. And it makes their existence tolerable, though it changes absolutely nothing. Not that anything changes without them either, especially when you can't get anywhere because you are not "partaking"...so they keep you out of everything. And I keep them outside of my life. Which leaves me with very few connections or support for anything I need. Yet they managed to pay for their college and houses from the drug money. I didn't. Is that justice? Not quite hardly. But it is reality. So I pray I remember to play lottery and eventually check the numbers on them and hope the Powers that Be will be kind enough to let me win so I can get me and my adopted family out of this same hell I'm in.
ON THE LIGHTER SIDE, but glimpse into the mentality all the same....
At the time of the Kennedy shooting, I was called into the Principal's Office for saying that JFK was not my President. He wasn't. I wasn't an American. So I also was not allowed to be a part of the Girl Scouts anymore because, despite being British in origin, it was "The Girl Scouts of America"(where I did live). Despite having been a Patrol Leader, getting my badges in what mattered:First Aid, Water Safety & Rescue, Dabbling in Art-they never did give me th one for music because I was excluded before they were awarded. There were a few more that they owed me, but I didn't care. I could sing just fine without a Girl Scout Badge. The First Aid and Water Safety and Rescue were for preserving life and that was primary. I also had the neighborhood baby-sitting jobs sewed up because I had those and also the child care certification. I hated camping anyway, even though, with my brother's help and my US Dad's trying to bring me some happiness helping, I won a three week campership. Which was a major honor. They even held a dinner for me and my Dad in honor of it. But I hate camping. Even on platformed tents.
In High School. I was nearly expelled for authoring part of a new publication opposing the war in Vietnam. At the same time, that opposition gave me the second runner up position for the Miss VFW crown. And I'm still German.
I wish I had kept score on how many times a US citizen came to me complaining about the foreigners in the USA. I loved seeing the red faces and the sputtering when I informed those individual that I was one of the people they were complaining to me about. They began referring to me in more complimentary terms. "Awesome", "Scary" "A little intimidating". My most favorite faux pas of all time however was when an unwanted suitor would not relent and I questioned him on the reason. He replied "God, that's what I love about you. You really have no clue. You're everything Americans look for . You're the American Dream."
I looked at him point blank and said "In that case, the American Dream is German." His stunned expression and the "Nuhhh..." as he was backing off left only one thing left to say:"Ja!".
I may be another name on their roster but my heart and my head will never be a US Citizen. They lied to me.
And I don't believe a thing they say and they are too stupid to make decision governing me.
Simultaneously, I had some friends who I love to this day. They were outraged by what happened to me. They confronted my pseudo-parents in my behalf. They tried to get law enforcement to dosomething about it. Some even got locked in juvvie hall with me for trying to help me get to my Embassy, or Austria at the time, since Germany did not yet have their own. After the death of the abductress, I had all the paperwork to repatriate and leave the USA when my US Dad became deathly ill. I wasn't about to abandon him. He suffered as much if not more from the ways of the abductress, especially for assisting me in times of need and the strong bondof friendhip we had formed. He was ill continually until I personally took over his care and personnel supervision. He now is healthier than I am, but it took 19 months to achieve that to the point where I could even stay away for one day. One day he said to me "I'm hearing things that I kidnapped you?" I said "Yes, you did. You just didn't know it." And he said "Is that what all her "secret this and that were all about?" "I guess so," I said to him. "Who the hell knows what goes on in the head of a nut case. But I forgive you. You've always been a fool when it comes to women." Then he said "And you still did all this for me?" "I wouldn't be me if I didn't. And you don't deserve to be abandoned." Neither do my cats. As for the rest, the things that matter are easy to pack.
My last word on the matter? "If I win the lottery, I'd have us all out of here so fast there wouldn't even be time to pack anything except the cats." That is where it remains, that is where it's at.
