ETERNAL VIGILANCE

ENOUGH! It is Time to Bring America
Back from the Precipice

It's tough everywhere right now because of high oil prices. If oil hits $100 per barrel, it is going to wreak havoc on everything. We've all had about enough of that even at $65 oil.

To see why we have gotten to where we are now, we only need to see some of the true economic causes behind the war. These are, first and foremost, the continuation of the petrodollar as the currency of record in global oil transactions. Next is control of the oil supplies and distribution networks, i.e. the pipelines.

There is also a friction here between the Dollar and the Euro as currencies accepted in oil transactions. Saddam Hussein was accepting Euros in payment for his services of trans-shipping Russian oil through his pipeline network to the Persian Gulf for shipment to Russia's European customers.

Fast forward to today where Hugo Chavez of Venezuela has recently threatened to accept Euros for settlement of oil shipments and even to cut off oil exports to the U.S. and we see the next flashpoint. The Iranian nuclear crisis will either be defused or blow up in the faces of the neocons.

It is noted where Sen. Chuck Hagel is giving it to the Bush administration, and Bush himself for the way Iraq has been handled. We just need to remember, no matter what, most all of these people on Capitol Hill voted for what has become the Iraq fiasco in 2003.

Hagel is a Bilderberger and has been attending their meetings since 1999. So, if he is giving Bush heat on this issue, it tells me that Bush's goose is cooked, and so is the next guy in line, Cheney, who has been a major cheerleader for this military adventurism. Hagel has also openly criticized Cheney for saying the "Iraqi insurgency is in its last throes," as casualties and attacks rise steadily.

Hagel has said he has talked with people back in Nebraska who are solid old line conservative Republicans. Hagel says he has looked into their eyes while they tell him that their main concerns are the way the war is going so poorly and the price of oil. These old timers are wavering in their support for Bush and a war we have been lied into, and they smell a rat. Hagel now sees the handwriting on the wall and is trying to cover his own behind so he does not lose his job.

You can bet that the backlash against the GOP has already formed, and we should not forget that the other half of this duopoly, the Democrats, have also been in the middle of this from the start.

And let's not forget the neocons, those Israel firsters who have infiltrated government at the highest levels and betrayed the nation in favor of a foreign power. They are in both parties and the taint of treason that befouls their activities has poisoned the well of politics in both parties.

The ruling two party duopoly is completely and utterly corrupt and morally bankrupt as well. We urge everyone to quit the two major parties and join and support a third party of their choice; one which will put things right and do what is proven best for this nation in it's early history and which was hijacked by imperialism beginning with the Spanish-American War. Things have never been the same since.

One of the few to stand up in opposition to the War Party plans was Robert Byrd. He's been right all along, but was ignored in the patriotic rush to judgment against the CIA created al-Qaida and all of Islam. Ron Paul was another staunch defender of the Constitution and opponent of this ill-conceived war scenario.

This war is in the name of Israel, oil and corporate profits. Nothing has changed, and nothing will change until the people say ENOUGH!

It is high time that everyone out there realizes that what is good for the corporation is not necessarily good for the country or the people. We need to get back to basics and put people to work.

The economic system needs to be revamped and the creation of wealth put back into perspective; that parity to raw material producers is that which drives the economic engine of the nation. This is the powerful force that will end deficit spending and bring prosperity back to rural America and the nation as a whole.

The corporations must be forced to bring back manufacturing and industry to this country so people can have jobs. To this end, the nation can ill afford any furtherance of the big lie of free trade as with NAFTA, CAFTA and the FTAA.

The corporations must be forced to get out of tinkering with DNA in the food supply (GM crops and seeds); and to remove the chemicals from food and water that are poisoning and killing people by the thousands and making many millions sick with costly and debilitating illnesses.

The corporations must be forced to relinquish control of agriculture and the food distribution networks. They must be forced to adopt healthful regenerative farming practices that will rebuild the depleted soils and give back healthful food and a sustainable natural system in return.

The corporations must be placed under strict governmental oversight. If they will not go along with what is best for this nation their charters should be revoked and their assets liquidated.

The infrastructure and energy needs of the nation must be overhauled and alternative energy resources, such as the latest butanol fermentation made from renewable feedstocks should be put into motion to replace the much vaunted and inferior ethanol distillation process.

Last but not least, we must know that true reform cannot be implemented until the people regain control of their monetary system. When Alan Greenscam and the rest of the Banksters are driven from their plush offices and into the sea, then we will have the chance to see real reform, peace and prosperity along with a revival of the American Free Enterprise system, the family farm and energy independence.

This will involve much sacrifice and hard work. To get there we must decide today that we will give up the excesses of the past, knuckle under and make the supreme effort.

The only question that remains to initiate change is, when will the people say ENOUGH!?
