The New Evil Empire
America has become what Nazi Germany
and the Soviet Union used to be

Remember the Red Menace, also known as the Communist threat? Or how
about the Third Reich, the creator of which became the chief metaphor
for evil in the 20th century?
Most Americans, certainly those younger than 30, don't remember
either. Hell, they don't even remember Vietnam or Nixon or The
Beatles. The terms and their connotations are totally unfamiliar,
unless encountered in history texts. Millions of Americans simply do
not remember what America used to stand for - freedom, justice,
equality - and as a result, don't fully comprehend the appalling
reality of what America has become.
Once upon a time, back in the days of Elvis and the hula hoop, when I
was a little shaver, I was taught in school that when Germany took
over France, Poland and other European countries, that was wrong, and
the United States sacrificed almost a half million of its own young
people to reverse those situations in the name of freedom. And that
happened twice, 1916-18 and 1941-45.
In the same vein, I grew up being taught that the Soviet Union's
annexation of Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, and all of Eastern
Europe was an evil deed, and that for many years in a period called
the Cold War, the American military objective was aimed at overturning
this unjust oppression. Back in the 1950s when I was in elementary
school, we used to have routine Civil Defense drills where we used to
have to hide under our desks pretending we were about to be nuked by
the Russians. Really!
It's a new world now. For one thing, the population of the planet has
doubled in those mere 50 years. And for another, it is the United
States that is now sweeping the world, scooping up all these other
countries in the name of capitalist democracy, and telling lies about
why it has to go to war. And instead of railing against the powerful
giant stealing freedom from all these hapless victims, as it did in
years past, the American press is now cheering it, justifying it in
the increasingly ambivalent names of capitalism and democracy. Worse,
the American people are cheering it, too, something that's never
really happened in U.S. history, when the people support a war that
they know is based on lies.
Of course, the American press is cheering it because it is the
American military doing it. Even the German and Russian press aren't
really criticizing it in a serious way. Because there is no country
that can oppose America, which spends more on its military than all
the other countries in the world combined, yet still complains that it
needs to spend more, even as its bridges and schools are falling apart
and its manufacturing base has completely disappeared, precipitating
its imminent economic collapse. Still the military spending increases,
and war plans ooze out like an evil ink stain spreading across the
globe.
The evil empire, number one threat to peace in the world, is now the
United States. No more Red Menace. No more Third Reich. Now it's a War
on Terror executed by the biggest terrorist of all - America, the
nation that killed its own people by the thousands in order to trigger
World War III and capture all the world's oil fields.
Now the shoe is obviously on the other foot. The United States has now
assumed the role of Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia at their worst and
all rolled into one. It has troops poised and threatening in 127 other
countries. By the diabolical mechanisms of the World Trade
Organization and the International Monetary Fund, it has already
plundered most other countries financially, stealing their utilities
and impoverishing their inhabitants. And those nations who resist this
financial con game, like Yugoslavia, are simply invaded and coerced
into servitude. Those nations who play the game, like Russia and
Argentina, are reduced to abject poverty with a few pro-Western
billionaires owning everything.
And woe to those nations who won't play the game, like Iraq. They are
obliterated and turned into permanent war zones. Their people are
murdered in their sleep by hopped-up American soldiers who are told by
their cynical leaders that they are spreading democracy, when really
what they are spreading are endless opportunities for plunder by
politically connected corporations.
And America's leader lie about absolutely everything. Never at any
time in my personal history has there been a time when an American
president has not at least accidentally told the truth about
something, but that time is now.
Once upon a time, Americans used to preach the cause of freedom and
justice for all. It's actually written in their Pledge of Allegiance.
But they don't adhere to that anymore. After all, Americans have
canceled their Bill of Rights, which once made them famous - made them
loved! - all over the world. Now they are feared all over the world.
Reviled. When Americans launched their worldwide war on terror - based
on a treasonous event in which they killed large numbers of their own
people - they betrayed the whole world. They betrayed every dream of
freedom anybody ever had anywhere.
The people who did it did it for a few billion dollars. Can you blame
them? It's easy money blowing up countries and blaming it on somebody
else. Even you might do it if you had the chance. Americans support
such an idea. It's capitalism at its best, controlling the market,
make money on the destruction by selling the weapons, make money on
the reconstruction by involving your friends in the contracts, no
public bids, of course. So you lose a few dark-skinned lives. The
world is overpopulated anyway. Look at it as population control
(although that it another, much larger topic).
Things have become so ugly in the United States that the liberal
opposition candidate for president tells peace activists to "Get over
it!" That there will be no peace no matter who is president. That
America is united to overrun and ravish the whole world, simply
because there is no one to stop it. This is the America that was
venerated and admired all over the world. This is what America became
when there was no other power to keep it honest. It became dishonest -
and a killer nation.
People overseas make a mistake when the say they have nothing against
the American people, that it is simply the American government they
loathe and fear. It is the American people who have permitted this to
happen, and they who bear the blame and will reap the whirlwind for
their inaction.
Once, America set an example for the world to establish representative
government and take care of its less fortunate. Today, America is
still setting an example for the world, an example that democracy is a
hoax, and that all we can expect for our children's futures is a dark
abyss of endless war based on phony pretenses.
The thing that made the episodes with Nazi Germany and Soviet Union
have happy endings was that there was somebody to fight for freedom
ready to rescue those oppressed by military tyranny from a foreign
power.
But now, who is ready to defend the freedom of those in Afghanistan,
or in Iraq, or in Macedonia, Serbia, the Philippines, Colombia,
Venezuela, Argentina, Iran, Syria, Lebanon, Pakistan, Nicaragua,
Chile, Bolivia, Ecuador, Guatemala ... or Palestine?
Who is ready to defend freedom now that the Americans have declared
freedom incompatible with security?
But these things tend to even out over time. Rome wasn't built in a
day and it took centuries to fall apart, but eventually it was picked
apart by jackals and sycophantic traitors from within.
The world will yet have the last laugh on America, after its own
leaders have finished picking the bones of its financially depleted
carcass.
Because Americans have given up defending true freedom around the
world, the day will soon arrive (sooner than they think) when they
will have to defend their own freedom against the very monster they
have created by their own selfish indifference. The corporate beast
that consumes freedom around the world will one day soon turn its
gaping jaws on America itself, and the Americans, who have decided to
forget how to defend true freedom around the world, will necessarily
have forgotten how to defend their own.
Once upon a time, when I was a little shaver and the president was
some guy named Ike, I was told that America was the greatest nation in
the world because it was a champion of freedom and justice, and
rescued the oppressed whenever people were in trouble.
So ... were they lying then and telling the truth now, or telling the
truth then and lying now?
And when the rest of the world comes calling to rectify this murderous
tyranny and worldwide oppression that America now practices, what will
you say to them when they aim their guns at you? That you didn't know?

Daark, that was without a doubt the most honest and accurate
assessment of the current state of affairs I have *ever* read,
within the newsgroups or without. Wow.
However, being a natural born critic, but a constructive one most
times I hope, you made some glaring omissions that could further
clarify your viewpoint, if indeed they 'would' be;
1. Vietnam, and how those who forget the past are condemned to
repeat it. And the Middle East is NO Vietnam, ladies and
gentlemen. And that is NOT a good thing either.
2. President Eisenhower's (Ike's) farewell address, warning
Americans to beware of the 'military industrial complex' that
*actually* runs that nation.
3. That God too, through St. John, wrote an essay on this very
subject matter, sounding extremely *eerily and ominously* close
to yours....
"Revelation 17"
The Woman and the Beast
1One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and said to
me, "Come, I will show you the punishment of the great
prostitute, who sits on many waters. 2With her the kings of the
earth committed adultery and the inhabitants of the earth were
intoxicated with the wine of her adulteries."
3Then the angel carried me away in the Spirit into a desert.
There I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was covered
with blasphemous names and had seven heads and ten horns. 4The
woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and was glittering with
gold, precious stones and pearls. She held a golden cup in her
hand, filled with abominable things and the filth of her
adulteries. 5This title was written on her forehead: MYSTERY
BABYLON THE GREAT THE MOTHER OF PROSTITUTES AND OF THE
ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. 6I saw that the woman was drunk with
the blood of the saints, the blood of those who bore testimony to
Jesus.
7When I saw her, I was greatly astonished. Then the angel said to
me: "Why are you astonished? I will explain to you the mystery of
the woman and of the beast she rides, which has the seven heads
and ten horns. 8The beast, which you saw, once was, now is not,
and will come up out of the Abyss and go to his destruction. The
inhabitants of the earth whose names have not been written in the
book of life from the creation of the world will be astonished
when they see the beast, because he once was, now is not, and yet
will come.
9"This calls for a mind with wisdom. The seven heads are seven
hills on which the woman sits. 10They are also seven kings. Five
have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come; but when he does
come, he must remain for a little while. 11The beast who once
was, and now is not, is an eighth king. He belongs to the seven
and is going to his destruction.
12"The ten horns you saw are ten kings who have not yet received
a kingdom, but who for one hour will receive authority as kings
along with the beast. 13They have one purpose and will give their
power and authority to the beast. 14They will make war against
the Lamb, but the Lamb will overcome them because he is Lord of
lords and King of kings--and with him will be his called, chosen
and faithful followers."
15Then the angel said to me, "The waters you saw, where the
prostitute sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations and languages.
16The beast and the ten horns you saw will hate the prostitute.
They will bring her to ruin and leave her naked; they will eat
her flesh and burn her with fire. 17For God has put it into their
hearts to accomplish his purpose by agreeing to give the beast
their power to rule, until God's words are fulfilled. 18The woman
you saw is the great city that rules over the kings of the
earth."
Good job again, Daark. Keep it up, before they come and take away
your 'puter, or worse.

Good, I hope it was some bad ***** man. I tried my best helping
the man by writing to the ungrateful *****, giving my advice, and
apparently I'm not good enough to reply to for somebody like him,
eh? Same goes for the National Post whose Publisher and CEO is
apparently one George W. Bush.
I say we run the ramparts, storm the Bastille as it were, and
give these beggars such a noogie that they'll *never* forget.
Who's with me? We'll take Ohio, we'll take New Mexico, we'll
forget Texas, and we'll take the White House!!!
Yeeeeeeeeearrrrrrrrrrrrrghhhhhhhh...oops...
Okay, so what was Plan B again...?
Right, Canada. who gives a ***** about Canada anyhow? It has no
impact upon anything, at all, and its money is still worthless.
But we still brew the best beer going, eh? Discuss that amongst
yourselves whilst I down another Molson's Canadian Ice, and smoke
a Player's Light.

Oh yes but change is cyclic, we spend nearly as much time at war, as
we do in peace, it just so happens we are in a situation of " never
have so many had it so good for so long, now just because this
situation is unsustainable, and like many records before, it is up for
change.
Now the US may have become exposed on imperial ambition, well the
former rivals have taken a downward spiral, and bottomed out and are
now in ascendancy, is just history.
The fact that the leader of the US is slow witted and easily
manipulated, and probably has bad advice is par for the course, they
want a war, they think they can win.
