As the Bush Regime Falls, What About Iraq, Afghanistan and We The
People?

With the New York Times publishing in today's paper the "Uranium Quicksand"
editorial and with Paul Krugman's op-ed piece "Pattern of Corruption" it looks
as though the beginning of the end of the Bush regime is upon us. Now that
the corporate media has gotten what it wanted from the FCC and the Bush regime,
it looks as though they are going to attempt to win back the market share
they lost to all of us Internet publishers by plagiarizing articles we wrote
dealing with the "Pattern of Corruption" we saw from the very beginning of
the Bush regime. But as many will say, better late than never. I just can't
stand the fact we do all research and the work and the analysis and then
the corporate media takes credit for it. Oh sour pesticide sprayed grapes.
The most important question however is not whether or not the Bush regime
will be removed from office but what the hell are the liberal elite's going
to do with Iraq, Afghanistan and the Global Environmental Crisis that inspired
the conservative elite's to steal election 2000, to allow the 911 terrorists
to succeed allowing our U.S. military dominated by right wing radicals to
stuff their national security strategy of pre-emptive strikes down our throats
just so they could go take control of the strategic oil supply in order to,
so the thinking goes, Militarily control the Global Environmental Crisis.
Will they maintain the status quo allowing these right-wing radicals to be
victorious albeit out of power or will they do the right thing and hand both
nations over to the UN and the world's NGOs so that basic services can be
reestablished and multinational peace keepers especially those with non European
and American faces can help establish a real peace instead of the continued
the resource imperialism the so-called developing nations suffer under. The
other question of course is: will these right-wing radicals go peacefully
from power or will they use the extreme aspects of the Patriot act and homeland
security (not that either are constitutional in any aspect) to stay in power,
which is not a stretch considering the radical right wing control of the
U.S. military.
The U.N. has an opportunity at this moment in history to truly become the
agency of peace and stability throughout the world that was once envisioned
for it. But to do so it must clean out its own resource imperialists from
within its ranks. In order to insure democracy throughout the world the UN
must now also foster a comprehensive land reform program that will remove
multinational agricultural business corporations from the world's developed
farmlands and reinstitute the family farm. Instituting a policy of food for
the homeland first, only allowing exports of food when everyone is fed for
the year. Coupling this policy with a comprehensive Global Marshall Plan
to reestablish bio diverse forests and wetlands as a means to regulate moisture
over the land and to recharge aquifers that have been drained by corporate
farming and over populated cities. The oceans are now empty of the protein
that 80 percent of the population of the world that live along the coastlines
sought from them. So it is only timely that we now begin to seek our protein
from the inlands and in doing so reestablishing the health of the inland
environments that we drained to make our coastal citadels function. And
of course, we must make a concerted effort to reduce the world's human population
by creating an ironclad safety net so that the world's population no longer
count their personal wealth on the amount of children we have that can take
care of us when we're old.
I have faith that the impact we humans have had on the frail environment
of this world can be turned around but will the liberal elite's have the backbone
to stand up to the military elite's, the cabal of military contractors and
conservative elite's in the energy business and regulate them out of the
toxic relationships that we all have created with this beautiful planet we
live on? Will the liberal elite's give up their wealth in order to save this
planet from the total ecological collapse we're now most definitely in. And
the big question is: will the conservative elite's give in to a more reasoned
reaction to the Global Environmental Crisis? Maybe, We The People should
give them no choice in the matter? These issues are of the most importance
to the survival of all life on this planet. Some people might like the idea
of the crash of human society but rest assured our crash will insure the crash
of all life on this planet. The remaining stable ecological systems on this
planet will not be able to withstand the ensuing chaos that the collapse of
the freshwater and food supply are bringing on. We as human beings must go
forward not backward into the feudal hell that consumed and destroyed our
forest and wetland habitats in our present and ancient pasts. This must be
the moment in history when humanity finally finds its place within the nature
of things on this rare jewel of life in a universe we are yet to truly comprehend.
