Abandon hope all ye...

Abandon all hope ye who live here in this strange culture now firmly in the hands of war criminals. If, like me, you may have had delusions about George W. Bush, war criminal extraordinary, ever being held accountable for his many horrible crimes against humanity, you can forget about it. Obama has now made it clear that he regards “Dubya” as just another ex-President, deserving of the same treatment they have all enjoyed. There they were, the three of them, Obama, Clinton, and Bush, all happy to be doing ”good” by raising money for the Haiti disaster. This means there will be no justice for a man who lied to the American people and the Congress in order to start a completely unnecessary “war” against a country that was no threat to us (itself a war crime of the first order), who ordered his military to kill hundreds of thousands of largely innocent people, to torture some of them, and to enable his powerful and wealthy friends to steal literally billions of dollars of public money. Indeed, they stole money so recklessly they didn’t even worry about the billions more that simply got lost. Not only did he commit war crimes, he even admitted to some of them. Now he is walking around and giving speeches and cooperating with Obama as if none of this ever happened. American hypocrisy has now been formally announced to the world. We prosecute war criminals wherever found to the fullest extent of international law, unless they are American war criminals. This will no doubt endear us even further to a world grown increasingly sick of us. What’s next, a medal for Dick the Slimy? ‘And what about our constitution that presumably insists war criminals should be prosecuted? Obama and Holder are now, as far as I know, also war criminals. Who is left to enforce the law? Oh, I forgot, the President is now the law. If he wants the testicles of little boys crushed in front of their parents in the interests of national security, he can do so (according to at least one of the ex-White House lawyers). Bush should have been impeached, but thanks mostly to Pelosi, he wasn’t. So now I guess we are supposed to honor him for having been our President “who saved us from terrorists.” This is shameful beyond belief.

Another thing I cannot understand (or perhaps I resist understanding) is how is it that Haiti is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere? This might make sense if Haiti had just been neglected and left alone all these years. But it hasn’t been, as we have been intervening and interfering in their country for years and years. Whatever we have been doing there certainly does not seem to have helped them in any way. In fact, it seems whatever we have been doing there has kept them in poverty and misery. Now Obama says we are going to help them, and the help is not going to be merely for the Earthquake calamity but will continue. Does this mean we are going to continue to keep them destitute and forced to work for slave wages? Why have we not “helped” them substantially in the past? Who and what is responsible for this failure of a nation? I am hesitant to look into the history of this failure because I am afraid of what I will find. Oh, once again I forget, Pat Robertson has already explained this tragic history, it was their pact with the devil to gain independence, the only slave nation to have successfully done so.

It seems there is an international movement forming to pressure Israel in the same way South Africa was pressured to give up apartheid. Not only was there the recent march in Egypt to support Gaza, but there are now apparently more and more institutions refusing to invest in Israeli firms. It’s too bad the same strategy isn’t being employed against the U.S. which has been the great enabler, allowing Israel to flout international law and do whatever it wishes no matter how murderous or vile.

Kudos to Roger Ebert who has written a letter to Rush Limbaugh suggesting he should be horse-whipped for demeaning the highest office in the land. He should have been horse-whipped, tarred and feathered, and run out of the country on a rail a long time ago. Just think about it, this fat draft-dodger druggy gets a 400 million dollar contract to do nothing but spout one hate-filled lie after another to an audience even more mentally handicapped than he is; talk about the unintended consequences of the First Amendment!
