Moscow invades Mexico, citing Yucatan’s terrorism threat Consider the following scenario: It’s 1966 -- the height of the Cold War -- and the Soviet Union sends the Red Army 7,000 miles across the globe to gratuitously invade Mexico, entirely without provocation or credible cause. The illegal, immoral aggression is predicated on a preposterous lie about the Mexicans supposedly being an imminent, awful threat to Mother Russia. Moscow overthrows the Mexican government, uses controlled elections to install a puppet regime, and then proceeds to appropriate the hapless country’s oil wealth. In the course of the initial attack and the Mexican patriots’ resistance during the ensuing, hated occupation, tens of thousands of people are killed. All over the planet, huge protest demonstrations take place. A common placard at those angry gatherings is one that reads, “Leonid Brezhnev: The World’s Number One Terrorist.” In the neighboring United States, everyone is outraged. American conservatives, especially, are justifiably livid. They condemn the Soviet travesty, correctly comparing what’s occurred to Hitler’s fascist expansionism. Now, flash forward from an imaginary outrage too crazy to ever have possibly happened. We’re in 2006, and it’s the United States under George Bush that’s occupying Iraq, after a shock-and-awe aggression that blew to pieces not just vastly outgunned Iraqi defenders, but elderly men, terrified women, and small children as well. More than 100,000 of them died. The fabricated rationale for needlessly going to war has been thoroughly exposed as ridiculous. Documents exist showing exactly how Iraqi oil wealth is to be diverted into U.S. corporate coffers by duplicitous means. Collaborators and opportunists comprise the Quisling regime that Washington has installed, while those devoted to true Iraqi freedom and self-determination are gunned down by Marines, or tortured at Abu Ghraib. Angry protests sweep the world. Placards emblazoned with “George Bush: The World’s Number One Terrorist” crop up everywhere. In the United States, however, conservatives lavishly praise Bush’s wretched war. They drive SUVs and own oil company stock. While emitting hypocrisy like a volcano spews clouds of billowing ash. The Oppressed Become Oppressors Eight hundred Oglala Sioux from the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota are serving in Iraq. Unemployment at Pine Ridge exceeds 80 percent. Alcohol and drug abuse are epidemic. The general health and education status lags behind many Third World countries. I’ll often get panhandled on the streets by destitute souls without homes or food. They sleep under the freeway, and eat at a mission. Most are “Indians,” some of whom left Pine Ridge to try for better lives in the white man’s city. Meanwhile, others from the reservation are risking improvised explosive devices in Iraq to facilitate the same theft of someone else’s land and resources that made Native American existence a trail of tears to begin with. There are no tumbleweeds or coyotes in the badlands north of Baghdad, but otherwise it’s an old, familiar, sad story. When Will They Ever Learn? A young couple has their first, precious baby. With boundless love in their hearts, they watch as it grows, becoming a toddler, then a pre-schooler. It’s a treasured time of Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, and alphabet sing-a-longs on Sesame Street. Kindergarten follows, then later grades and real learning. Soon the child brings home books, reads stories, does math. Gold stars reward good performance. Mom and Dad are so proud. Middle school comes next, along with team sports. How great it is to be a kid having fun in America! In high school, first love and a first job bring new excitement to everyone. The child is doing well scholastically. College is on the horizon. Moisture streams down both parents’ faces as they watch a diploma being presented to the light of their lives at graduation. The child has grown into a young adult with great promise. Acting on a sincere sense of service, the graduate joins the National Guard. It’s only part-time duty, and it will bring the reward of helping the community during emergencies such as hurricanes or floods. But when the natural disasters arrive, an unnatural disaster keeps Guard members from being there to assist. A dishonest, malicious president has launched a dreadful war of choice in the Middle East. National Guard units are sent abroad for a lie about weapons of mass destruction that never existed. One by one, and increasingly in groups, young American Guardsmen and women start dying, the victims of people with guns and bombs who simply want foreign soldiers out of their sacred land. One day the front doorbell rings at the home of the youngster who was happily playing backyard games not that many years ago. Two men in uniforms tell the mother, who is trembling and weeping even before a single word is uttered, “We regret to inform you . . ." She screams. On the television in the living room, a smug, smirking man at a podium talks about “honoring those who’ve fallen” by “staying the course” until “complete victory” is achieved. But that can’t happen, for there is no honor in pursuing a misrepresented endeavor that’s destined to fail. In a few days, Mom and Dad will have their child’s entire life flash before their flowing eyes in the few moments it takes to lower a coffin six feet beneath a cemetery‘s manicured lawn. Meanwhile, across town, another young person prepares to leave for the battlefield. And at the local hospital, new parents beam as they marvel over their just-born infant. A muted radio on the bedside table plays an oldie from decades past: “When will they ever learn? When will they ever learn?Dennis Rahkonen of Superior, Wisconsin, urges everyone to help guarantee a decisive turnout for street protests marking the third anniversary of the Iraq war, on March 19.

It is a good post. It's what I have been thinking. I think a lot of others have been waking up to the same thing -- if Bush's poll numbers mean anything.
Deal with it, not my problem.

They carry the numbers of the beast. Except for those that end in 665 or 667. These are the neighbors of the beast.
Brer' is really PPSHOW. Don't tell anyone I told you that.

No, it was Islamo-fascists from other muslim countries. I hope you have not bought the fairytale that the buildings were demolished and planes did not fly into them resulting in 3000 people dying too slowly and horribly
Are you Brer' ButtWeasel over on PL?
Brer' - I'm left to ask those who can't cite some form of documentation that any of the purported 9-11 hijackers made the flights,"... why don't you shut the fuck up? I tire of this Next-Generation Nazi propaganda about the hijackers who never were. In the meantime, the documentation far more points to Israel - but we can't discuss that; it's a "Thought Crime." Two airliners of 9-11 are still missing; and the clowns of disinformation don't ask any questions. Funny, how that works. Hitler & Goebbels would be so proud of their legacy. What was that Biblical lesson? Goliath was beheaded with his own sword - by whom??? In consequence, the American invasions of Afghanistan & Iraq are War Crimes; with American soldiers - "...just following orders." Tell me, "Brer'," are you somehow proud of that?
It's a waste of time to try to enlighten anyone who uses the term Islamo-fascist. They're government-lovers who've swallowed the government propaganda hook, line, and sinker. The only proof they need of anything, is that the government says so. Americans who accuse someone else of fascism, are beyond hope, IMO.
"gold digger" = "Gold deposit husband" "bad driver" = "Bad operator" "princess" = "King woman" "foreign visa" = "Visa of foreign country" "mother in law" = "Mother of law"
Free nations are peaceful nations. Free nations don't attack each other. Free nations don't develop weapons of mass destruction. ~George W. Bush
There's no reason to be intellectual with a sub-human,02 wasting, verminous POS like you. Now do the world a favor and drink some bleach.
100% neocon, turdguzzling shill.
Oh, it was fascists
alright. The ones who run the US Government and if "islamo-fascists" were
involved it's because they were paid and/or in collusion with same. As far as
the buildings being "demolished" (with explosives) and planes hitting them,
they're not mutually
exclusive. In fact, I believe that's exactly what happened to WTC 1 and 2.
However, you and I both know that no plane hit Bldg 7. A fact
that should make you go hmmmmm. ;) Btw, have you seen Loose Change 2nd Edition?
Islamo-fascists ought to be defined as people of the muslim faith who subscribe to the ideology of fascism (government control of business -- corporate "capitalism"), as exemplified by Mussolini and Francisco Franco (and Bush of course ["christo-fascist"?]). Any other application of the term is just meaningless gobbledygook, a convoluting of the language for propaganda purposes. Can I safely assume that "Brer" is the same "Brer Rabbit" from LP?
agree and your assumption is correct.
Brer' is the new con op.
Sorry I got on you so bad over on LP the other day. It was a bad day of the month for me. But I think we LePers in exile need to keep in touch with each other. Be in close contact as much as possible. Brer, don't let these leftists push you around. You can count on me. I will be right behind you taking care of your rear while you attack.
I am not gay.
Wow. Somebody needs a nap. s2m seen2much Hoping this wasnt a reference to a 'dirt' nap.. :P
I thought you're supposed to be male.
Thanks. Did you ever see me run at LP? If I get bored from absolutely pig-headed tinfoil hats, I just do something else...only reasonably responsible give and take is worth touching a keyboard.... nothing could be more irritating than badeye....well , almost nothing, LOL Cheers, brer
Be nice....just once (-;
Pubic n C I presume, YOU AND YOUR LEFTIST PUKE GOBBLEDYGOOK DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO SPELL FASCIST...MUCH LESS DEFINE IT.
I'm serious. Trace claimed to be male on elpee.
Back at ya, troglodyte.
