</center>Early this morning before sunrise I was sitting on my deck mentally reviewing all the shit going on with our one world and pessimism set in. I don't particularly enjoy the state of pessimism.... not many do, however -
According to Scott Ritter, the weapons inspector in Iraq prior to the war who declared "No WMD's", says at a rally (attended by Bohonato) the U.S. will begin bombing strikes on Iran... up to 2,000 targets.
Today North Korea just may send off another test missile for their own defenses (or should I say Kim's own defense?).
Our own son-of-a-bush has removed Habeas Corpus from the laws of our country... adding to a list longer than I care to know about, all under the guise of protecting our country... or his own doings.
The growing outcry of Iraqis against U.S. occupation being ignored by our war policies is further increasing outrage in the entire Muslim world. So the threat of another terrorist attack is imminent... one of these days. Add to that the fact they, the Muslims, are killing off their own. Is that a hoot?
In moments of what I feel as 'clarity' I can see nothing but utter chaos eventually taking over the world... at least the world that somehow pertains to us. And not exclusively the U.S., by the way.
I well imagine most leaders of countries around the globe are just as uneasy as I am, as you are and as we all are. There isn't a chance that there's anyone who doesn't feel the pressure of the world situation.
Let's not forget the environmental crisis. That is the one thing that definitely includes everyone worldwide. Nobody amongst us can escape the possible conditions of a drastic change in the world's weather. We can all talk about it... blah, blah, blah....
The U.S. political system is filled with bribery and corruption on a scale never before seen. The absolute trust we all once had is fraying and fraying rapidly. There is little trust in anything resembling material or financial security, unless you are a, not a lowly millionaire mind you, but nowadays you just don't count unless you have billions of dollars. Un-fucking-believable.
And so the leaders we choose just have more ability to add to their riches by subtracting dollars from our own wallets. It's pure theft. We know it... even if we logically deny it. But in our hearts we all know that the world that was is crumbling. And the future is unclear.
Since 1967 the population of America has increased 100 million! Just in the U.S. alone. Over Six Billion people inhabit our globe. Everyone of us has basic needs - food, shelter, health cares. You'd think someone in a so-called responsible position would at least suggest a solution to this crisis, other than ignoring it as if it doesn't exist. Why? Because we are all human beings. We all have common needs, common desires. Not many of us really want anything more than what is fair.
But reality is - who gives a fuck? With that attitude we are in trouble collectively. There will be no winners. That level of competion is limited. For all our lives, all of us now living on this planet, have chosen the win or lose game to play. If you lose you in the majority. Tough shit! You're in big company. The majority, the enormous majority, given that standard of winning or losing, are all losers. Imagine that.
No matter what our citizenship, our nationality, our culture, the majority of us are making life sweet for such a small percentage. Doesn't this make us all stooges for these few amongst us? These elite, no matter the level, have the power to send our children, oour loved-ones, our families and friends to war for them. To fight their battles so this elite can further improve their own lives. Medical breakthoughs, altho wonderful in one light, are reserved for the elite. Financial security is also reserved for the elite. Sanitary living conditions... for the elite. The list is long. The list continues to grow for all us 6 billion continue working for the elite.... the tiney percentage of us that in all reality at best may sympathize with us, but do very little in greatly assisting our condition. It would cost them a fraction of their elitism and that would endanger their own ego. We wouldn't want that would we?
Bullshit! If there is any truth to "the meek shall inherit the earth" that earth would be stripped of it's wealth and beauty by the time the meek inherit it.
In the meantime, let us be thankful if we can afford Now. It's all any of us really have anyway.
