The Cold War Was A Spending War

“…we won the Cold War without ever
having to match armies and nuclear arsenals
with the Soviet Union,” say
Henry Allen’s Washington Post.

THAT war was run by proxies
with little or no Russian or American
blood spilled but blood was spilled
proxie Afghan blood
proxie Indonesia blood
THEN what happened?
we could not proxie the Vietnam War!
WHY is America trying again
for proxies in Afghanistan and Iraq?
OIL!
gOTTA feed The tiGer in our tank?
How much blood does it take to make one gallon of gas?
I DON’T KNOW!
One drop of blood per gallon or a zillion?
How much blood per gallon is too much?
You tell me SUV!
One things fer sure
the ratio is growing exponentially!

“Iran,” Cheney states, “is fishing in troubled waters.”

Was it he who also said, “US troops
wearing full protection gear entering Iraq
was proof there were WMD’s there”?

Or are the waters troubled by
55% of US Intelligence $’s going to private firms,
like Booz Allen Hamilton,
who holds Dick C’s hand?

There was a bridge over
Iraqi waters before Cheney-directed-bombs
blew them up.
What water would not be troubled?

Unlike a bridge over troubled waters
Cheney’s sneer does NOT
ease our minds.

Baseball and Politics

when baseball crimes are covered up
by national security
and hordes still participate
in distractions of the Coliseum
choosing sides to feel like winners
when their side wins and when
it loses “wait till next time!”
the handicapped lead the way
out of winner or loser to
all are winners truly
who participate in healthy
sport-like contests like
swimming, running, dancing.

when government crimes are covered up
in the name of national security
and hordes are led to fear to distract
from worldwide games of war
propagandized into believing
“we” are the good guys against “those demons”
everyone’s a loser truly as both sides
get children blown to bits
when tribes/clans/nations return
to loving their children more
than they hate “those demons”
World Peace we all espouse we wish for
becomes possible.

when individuals hide their angst
with the actions of “other”
in the name of “nothing nice to say say nothing”
in fear of losing friend or an explosion
(even steel under too much pressure
explodes unexpectedly)
it is in the exchange of ideas we find
our description of personal space needed
and what fences to build
white picket fences were nice
(the Berlin Wall was not)
personal freedom reigned in
the pursuit of happiness.

America’s glory is not
the “shining light on the hill”
it is in the valley of the people
who have struggled to rule themselves
like a new born learning to walk and talk
America is learning to walk their talk
and the whole world is watching the struggle
for freedom from the ruling class
(the Constitution is not carved in stone!
it is a living work in progress)
O America thus conclude:
freedom of religion includes
freedom from religion!

Dr. Robert Gates, US Defense Secretary. Feel Safer?

“I would confess I’m no expert on Iraq.”
and, asked about the right balance between American and Iraqi forces,
he said he was “no expert on military matters.”
This, after spending 27 years in the CIA as an intelligence professional,
and nearly nine years at the National Security Council.

What is the job of a US Defense Secretary?

Concerned with the armed services and military matters,
to be the principal defense policy adviser to the President
and responsible for the formulation of general defense policy
and policy related to all matters of direct and primary concern
to the Department of Defense, and for the execution of approved policy.

Here’s some defense:
Click your heels Doctor Gates,
and repeat three times
“Take me home to Kansas!”

Donald Trump on Imus In the Morning

thanks, Donald Trump,
for embodying and presenting,
who one thinks one is
when full of money,
a Money God, or sorts,

Barbara Walters was warning Mr. Money Donald
not to get in the mud with Rosie. Barbara
was not degrading Rosie, understanding,
Mr. Trump can not win
(even if he believes he is a trump card)
as no meticulous suit
sooo enamored with their hair
has the experience of mud wrestling.

Rosie did not lie when she said he filed for bankruptcy,
as we are what we create,
so Donald was his corporation
that filed for bankruptcy,
its her belief,
and mine.

Trump: “Bush says he reads one book a week.
I don’t believe that, that would be
60 books a year!”

OMG!
Trump is more dumber-downed
than Bush!

Once In Love With Amy

always in love with Amy

on Democracy Now today
she wears the red and black
of native war
not war as in violence but
the War of Words

p.s. Ms. Goodman

I also love your native
suggesting jewelry,
a matching set so to say
with your long free-flowing hair.

p.p.s.

Your over 100 grandmother
for sure has bushels of peace
having a prodigy
doing the good vurk.

To Surge Or Not To Surge

got war?
ever known anything different?
want peace?
get educated!
Communism is not dirty
it is dirty dirty dictators who takes control
after a People’s Revolution.
The Cold War was all about
protection American financial interests
in Foreign countries.
Hot Wars are all about
protecting American financial interests
in Foreign countries.
When politics is a national sport
and winning is everything,
where when “our team” wins
it makes “us” (dem or rep) #1
every one loses control
and the sum results are
Piggy American Corporations get fatter!
The question is not
to surge or not to surge
The question is
can Bush keep the Iraq war going
until after the 2008 election believing
he can wash his hands of guilt.
got guts?
get Independent!

Bill Gates: Tear Down That Firewall!

yer philanthropic right hand better look at
what yer investment left hand is doing
like in the Nigeria Delta Flaring
where the fumes are causing sickness
of Nigerian native or like
Ameriquest’s predatory lending
in the US Northwest to the
homeless and the poor
yer 5% tax deduction
for “charitable contributions”
loses what nobility it might have earned
when it invests in what causes
the people’s suffering…
Oil Greed and Loan Sharks, Bill Gates,
Tear down that wall!

What Bush Is Going To Do

He will tell us this Wednesday –
but he has already told us his intent:

“We will still be in Iraq when I leave office.”

translated means:

“I know we have lost in Iraq,
but history will not record
it happened on my watch.”

George Bush and Human Sacrifice

today is the day the war machine has their picnic
it is the day King George calls for sacrifice
the penguins clap and chant “Oh yes, oh yes,
we can do that!” And in a cartoon
think bubble they say, “Sacrifice is
tossing the dime into the beggar’s cup.”

human sacrifice
pastoralize poverty
proud and dumb

but the children are educated Georgie Porgie
they smell the stench of give-away-pork
they understand the education given them
which promises more money with higher taxes
which feeds the beast of corruption
which turn their backs
to perpetual war…the ultimate dream
of run-away capitalism
these children of W’s darkness
taught themselves
“AIN’T GONNA STUDY WAR NO MORE!!!”

George Bush and Human sacrifice:

“We will send in 20,000 more troops!”
