Strange Bedfellows

01/23/2010:
Yesterday morning, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that corporations can spend freely in federal elections. It's a green light for a new stampede of special interest money in our politics, giving their lobbyists even more power in Washington. Now, every candidate who fights for change could face limitless attacks from corporate special interests like health insurance companies and Wall Street banks.
The only way that the President can get a dictatorial control on the country is to get control of the Supreme Court. But now is it in reverse! Supreme Court is ruling America. With no limits on their spending, big oil, Wall Street banks, and health insurance companies will try to drown out the voices of everyday Americans -- and Republicans seem ecstatic.

Throughout time immemorial: the main idea being to get the mind of the public or your enemies off something you're actually doing but you don't want them to notice so you can do it with a little less observation.
But after 8 years of hell in the Bush reign, they are trying to rewrite history! The attention of America from the well-worn fact that his ruling Republican party have always been the robbers of the poor and the protectors of the rich. Furious that the courageous exposure of his criminal hypocrisy and traitorous deception of the American people, and enraged by the humiliation of his scandalous Administration being the continuous major subject of daily worldwide headlines.
Tough times can also lead to tough government actions and tyranny. It's a time of upheaval, flux and change for the world, just as the 1930s were, the Great Depression period before World War II. First came the Roaring '20s, then came the Depression '30s, and then came the years of war of the '40s. History doesn't always repeat itself, of course, but it can sometimes. Yes, all the makings for a police state are there, and not just in the U.S. or Britain, but in any number of countries.

Letter: The U.S. should have helped Haiti before
January 19, 2010,
Editor,
The United States is not going to establish democracy in Haiti now any more than they did during the 19 years that they occupied the country before (from 1915-1934). Why didn’t the United States take care of the poor garbage-laden Haitians, with sewers running down the middle of their streets and the horrible poverty that existed when they occupied Haiti for 19 years? Why the hell didn’t they improve Haiti? Why didn’t they make it a better place to live? Why didn’t they put in sewers and build schools and give the Haitians everything they needed?
They claim they did, but it sure doesn’t look like it now. The poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, and with only nine million people. Let’s hope it’s for the betterment of the Haitians, because right now the Haitians are in a terrible state, living in abject poverty, filth and sewage. Horrible! The United States has been the big bully of the Americas for centuries and we pray that finally it will get some relief!

Destruction of Palestine
Ted Rudow III,MA, Menlo Park, CA
Scenes of Israeli soldiers shooting Palestinian children throwing stones filled TV screens around the world and generated a lot of sympathy for the Palestinians, as well as more support for their cause.
The Israelis soon got the point that open violence and oppression against the Palestinians weren't getting them anywhere, especially with the cameras of the international media rolling. So they're trying another trick now, and one which has been very successful so far-the “silent death and destruction” ploy.
Every day the Israelis torment or afflict the Palestinians in little and big ways, out of sight of the camera: Houses are bulldozed, trees are ripped up, roads are blocked, Israeli settlements are expanded, Palestinian lands are confiscated, Palestinians are prevented from working or going to school, men are rounded up for questioning, “militants” are shot, and men and women are stripped, humiliated or beaten up. And these things happen in Palestinian-ruled cities and lands, at the hands of heavily armed Israeli soldiers which occupy them.
The Israelis provoke the Palestinians to violence, but they can't strike back very easily against the troops and tanks that surround their cities and patrol their roads. So Palestinians send suicide bombers inside Israel to inflict horrible destruction on Israeli civilians. That destruction is anything but silent! Scenes of Israeli suffering, carnage and death fill TV screens around the world and make the front pages of major papers.
Israel then has its justification for more open attacks on Palestinian areas to “stop the suicide bombers” and “round up the militants,” and they go further and further in their retaliation, destroying as much as they can. Naturally, since these are “military operations,” the cameras are banned. If any atrocities happen to occur, there's no proof. Palestinians are wounded or killed, their houses and cities are crushed, their government institutions are obliterated, their leaders are humiliated.
All that just perpetuates Palestinian rage and revenge attacks. But when Palestinians strike back at Israeli civilians with suicide bombings, these open attacks are used against them, both in the media and by the Israeli military, which launches devastating counterattacks where they do their dirty work secretly.
The open attacks by Palestinians produce worse counterattacks by the Israelis and more secret destruction, which produces more open attacks by the Palestinians. So the vicious cycle goes on, and it's one the Palestinians are losing, as they're being gunned down, humiliated!

I was told to gain a near-manical desire to win and to physically punish my opponent in a defeat!
Sports really foster the spirit of competition. It's the spirit of the world the "me first" spirit--do what's best for yourself, win no matter who you have to hurt or step on in order to get ahead of the next guy. That's the spirit of the world, which is just the opposite of what Jesus wants to teach people--to love your neighbor as yourself. Of course, some form of sports is fine.

Like the old eagle that had been chained so long to a stake in the ground that he'd worn a rut in the ground from walking round and round. When his master finally decided to liberate and set him free, he took the metal ring off and tossed the eagle up into the air. But it just flip-flopped right back down to the ground, walked back over to the old rut and started walking around the rut again! -- No chain. No bird band. Just the old habit!
Help us to change the things that need to be changed, and not to change the things that don't need to be changed, and especially, help us to know the difference!

Letter: American terrorists
January 09, 2010, 02:20 AM
Editor,
They call them terrorists because the world hates terrorists and that word "terrorists," is a bad word. The funny thing is, while Americans are very worried and paranoid about terrorists doing something to harm their country, they are off occupying and destroying whole nations themselves, and leading the world down the path toward destruction.
It seems to me that people who kill others without proof of their guilt - or even without being sure who they are killing - are terrorists themselves. They are just highly paid assassins, using high-tech weaponry like the drones in Pakistan's lawless tribal areas. And such people often "speak lies in hypocrisy," accusing others of the very things which they themselves are guilty of.

Like the old eagle that had been chained so long to a stake in the ground that he'd worn a rut in the ground from walking round and round. When his master finally decided to liberate and set him free, he took the metal ring off and tossed the eagle up into the air. But it just flip-flopped right back down to the ground, walked back over to the old rut and started walking around the rut again. No chain. No bird band. Just the old habit.
Help us to change the things that need to be changed, and not to change the things that don't need to be changed, and especially, help us to know the difference.

Letter: War, bloody war
December 28, 2009, 03:30 AM
Editor,
Nearly every one of America’s wars were for some kind of trade advantage or money or for territory or oil — which of course were always fought under different excuses, even as far back as the Civil War. They are trying to pull a compromise by replacing the American soldiers with Gulf War II, and keeping the war running to maintain the sick economy. So Big Business continues to produce war toys, well-lubricated with the blood of human sacrifices, as usual. “The Endless war” — Neoconservatives are wanting empire and, of course, the war on Iraq and Afghanistan! They are arguing that international law has little validity and only gets in the way of American objectives. For them America is so strong, it can safely ignore other nations’ national interests and “go it alone.” It’s a sad tale!

Orwellian Obama?
Editor,President Obama said, "Such a warped view of religion is not just incompatible with the concept of peace, but I believe it's incompatible with the very purpose of faith, for the one rule that lies at the heart of every major religion is that we do unto others as we would have them do unto us... The nonviolence practiced by men like Gandhi and King may not have been practical or possible in every circumstance, but the love that they preached, their fundamental faith in human progress."In George Orwell's book "1984," the main character worked for the "Ministry of Truth," dedicated to eliminating every vestige of the truth and replacing it with what the government said was truth.Force is the typical U.S. response to problems. It reminds me of the U.S. military man during the Vietnam War who claimed his soldiers had to destroy a local village in order to "save" it! Well, the U.S. was built on violence, as I've often said, and violence will also be its downfall one of these days. Sounds just like some governments today, and like many politicians included Obama!

Holiday materialism
Editor,
The worst contagious disease of all is materialism!
Seeing all the stuff that people would like to have but can't afford to buy, therefore perhaps encouraging them to murmur in their hearts that they can't have it.
I think the commercialization of Christmas by the merchants is hypocritical, with the wrong meaning of Christmas, the wrong purpose of Christmas, the wrong things for Christmas.
The Christmas tree itself even can be made to symbolize the beauty of life and living.
In wintertime the evergreen, even in the midst of death and decay, is sort of a symbol of everlasting life. It's a symbol of eternal living in spite of winter and all that's dead around, the evergreens survive and stay ever-green and continue to be living, green and beautiful all winter long.

Lyndon Baines Obama
Published: Thursday, Dec. 03, 2009
More Cartoon 12/05/2009 :
The trouble with the American system now is that the president can get the U.S. into war without consent of Congress or the people. The law says that only Congress has the power to declare war, but the past few wars have not been started by Congress. In fact, sometimes it never even declared war at all. The war was simply started by the president because he's the commander-in-chief of the military and can throw forces into battles on his own in an emergency.
That's what Lyndon B. Johnson did in Vietnam: the Vietnamese sank one of the U.S. patrol boats in the Bay of Tonkin, so he turned around and began sinking theirs, and soon it was a full-scale war. I think it was a long time before Congress ever declared war, if it ever did. In World War II, the U.S. didn't declare war until Pearl Harbor. That made Congress mad enough to declare war almost immediately. In World War I, it took the sinking of the Lusitania, a British ship loaded with Americans, by a German sub.

This gave the president a good excuse to get into the war, which is what presidents are usually waiting for.
They need something that's sufficient to provoke the public and Congress and make everybody agree that they need to go to war. What are Americans doing way over in Pakistan, of all places? Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran and all those countries are Russia's next-door neighbors, not ours. It's stupid. The U.S. couldn't possibly win even if it goes to Pakistan's defense.

Debt burden
Ted Rudow III,MA, Menlo Park, CA 94026
The global economy is heading toward a sustained recovery but given the risks of another downturn it is too soon to withdraw stimulus, International Monetary Fund Deputy (IMF) managing director John Lipsky said on Friday. "We think that we are on a trajectory toward sustained growth but that the recovery is going to be relatively moderate and relatively sluggish,"
All the Western industrialised nations, as well as most of the poor developing nations, are so deeply in debt to the IMF, & their economies so unbalanced & fragile with inflation, that it wouldn't take much to cause them to all come tumbling down into a full Depression! In fact, it's amazing that it hasn't happened already!
The dollar will crash and burn one of these days, as I've said, and it will come as quite a shock both to America and the world. It's sinking against the euro and the yen right now. But when the crash itself comes, it will be sudden, causing "a mighty widening of the eyes among those who have not discerned the signs of the times!"

It's a sad tale
by Ted Rudow III,MA ( Tedr77 [at] aol.com )
Wednesday Dec 2nd, 2009
(This was written, Oct. 2005):This conflict has already cost each American at least $850 in military and reconstruction costs since October 2001. The war lasts another five years,(Oct. 2010) it will cost nearly $1.4 trillion, calculates Linda Bilmes, who teaches budgeting at the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University.
Nearly every one of America's wars were for some kind of trade advantage or money or for territory or oil - which of course were always fought under different excuses, even as far back as the Civil War. They are trying to pull a compromise by replacing the American soldiers with Gulf War II, and keeping the war running to maintain the sick economy.
So Big Business continues to produce war toys, well-lubricated with the blood of human sacrifices, as usual."The Endless war"---Neoconservatives are wanting empire and, of course, the war on Iraq and Afghanistan! Arguing that international law has little validity and only gets in the way of American objectives. For them America is so strong, it can safely ignore other nations' national interests and "go it alone." It a sad tale!

The family behind foreclosures
Abstract: My boyfriend has been trying to buy a house for almost a year now. Because I have been heavily involved in the process and will be living in the property, I will refer to it as "our house" and not "his house." We are primarily interested in the Oakland area, but our budget is low.... Post Comment

And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see.And I beheld, and to a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, ?A measure of wheat for a penny; and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine?? (Revelation 6:5-6 KJV.).
This black horse?s rider with the pair of balances in his hand symbolizes the rich capitalists who have a major impact on world conditions through their manipulation of national economies. Only one other verse in the Bible pictures a man with balances or scales: The merchant uses dishonest scales; he loves to defraud? (Hosea 12:7 NIV).
Another prophet, Amos, also said the merchants the wealthy capitalists of his day who were robbing the poor instead of helping them set forth wheat, making the ephah [unit of measure] small, and the shekel [price] great and falsifying the balances by deceit.
