Brad,

Truman, Eisenhower and others in the 1940s and 1950s instituted
policies that they thought were in the long term best interests of the
United States. Today, we can see in retrospect how those policies
have not served us. This doesn't make these men evil or the center of
some massive conspiratorial plot. They clearly made a mistake. The
sooner that mistake is rectified the better off we'll all be. By
casting this error as the center of some vast drama - you marginalize
any discussion of our policy errors and make it much more difficult to
bring about useful change.

The fact is reducing the importance of farming and manufacturing to
our domestic economy and relying on allies for the bulk of our food
and production has hurt us economically, and our systems for
maintaining control of the global economy while operating from a
fundamental position of weakness has undermined our geopolitical
capacity to effect useful change without appeal to military force.

We are in a fragile position and need to extricate ourselves from it.
The first step is a clear and frank review of our policies and what
our options are. Calling people names and ascribing to them insane
motives doesn't help in that process.

Once again, good luck with retooling from all of those well
established lies upon lies in charge of your private parts, as well as
having taken most of your hard earned loot. Remember what they did to
JFK, and all he ever wanted to do was put a stop to our government
interactions with those many secret cults (including our Federal
Reserve), and to pull the NASA/Apollo plug before it was too late.

These thoughts are incorrect, highly prejudicial and useless for any
concrete action going forward. So, what is their utility? Obviously
to asuage deep seated emotional needs that you have to see others as
guilty and avoid doing anything practical, concrete or positive to
create a better world.

Its easy to carp against the powers that be. Not so easy to enunciate
a compelling consistent workable vision for the future. No wonder so
few do the latter, whilst the former are a dime a dozen and easily
ignored.

It's your close friends that'll argue on behalf of war, and/or would
allow war as preferable to achieving honest technological advancements
on behalf of humanity and of salvaging our badly failing environment.

It's your own kind of cloak and dagger types, of those continually
lying, cheating and of extremely bigoted brown-nosed and usually
pretend-atheist mindsets that created most of the previous wars, are
responsible for having created and sustained the ongoing wars, and are
intent upon pushing as many of those do-not-push buttons until WWIII
is created, except this time it's over the global domination of fossil
and yellowcake energy, even including thorium for Christ sake.

You do realize in USD, that the actual cost of an Iraq barrel of oil
is taken at a mere $1/barrel (which even includes enough for local
Iraq oil profits). So, where's the other $109/barrel going?

Your "enunciate a compelling consistent workable vision for the
future" doesn't include truths of the past, present or future, much
less offering a speck of remorse for all the dastardly deeds and
actions of your own kind, and you have absolutely no plan whatsoever
of taking action, as for ever correcting one damn thing that's
terribly wrong and deeply embedded within our extensively cloak and
dagger system that you and your brown-nose can't seem to get enough
of.

Didn't you ever hear that JFK speech about his intentions of cutting
off those pesky cults and secret groups that only further nailed his
own coffin shut?
