Bombing them back to the Stone Age. . ."
madeline albright [aka m..m..m..] is reported to have said that the
"ethnic Albanians" will be "home" "for Thanksgiving"!! It may come
as a shock to her that other countries do not celebrate Thanksgiving.
[As Saddam Hussein once said to me, "No, pet, we did not cheat the
Indians."] Perhaps it was not only geography that stumped her
as a girl!
Steve Dunleavy, editorial writer, New York Post, recently challenged
my own assessment of m..m..m..'s eyesight ["If politics and diplomacy
were measured on the same scale as eyesight, we'd have to declared
madeline albright legally blind." prior newsletter] saying:
"she has the eyesight that seeing eye dogs are bred for."
Which raises the question "What has madeline been "bred" for?"
[When she was "running around the world stage beating her war drum"
there was a distant echo that said "beating her diaphram" which
supposedly keeps one from becoming pregnant] albright appears to have
been empregnated by death and she "delivered" all over Yugoslavia.
As one Russian diplomat put it -- "you cannot kill in the name of
human rights" -- GOOD cannot be done by evil means!
Militant Capitalism
----------------------------------
Economics of Death and Destruction
The military/industrial complex has been replaced by what we have
witnessed -- crimes against humanity including the unnecessary
bombing of countries and peoples -- for the "best interest" of the
United States and Britain, i.e. imperialistic capitalism. So the
military now serves not the state or even industry but the economic
system referred to as "unrestrained capitalism."
Economic sanctions, long decried by many as crimes against humanity
and the means by which the USA/UK have inflicted a genocide that will
not stop on the Iraqi people, are the "cold war" of the militant
capitalists. To be followed up with bombing on any pretext or
contrived "justification" whatsoever. Ronald Reagan was once broadcast
when he thought the mike was off saying "The bombing begins in five
minutes." This attitude is what "sets off" the military these days
and has been used in all the bombing.
Helen Keller [bless her soul] in her book THE STORY OF MY LIFE, 1903,
is quoted:
Militarism . . . is one of the chief bulwarks
of capitalism, and the day that militarism is
undermined, capitalism will fail.
[Hopefully, soon.]
While Norman Cousins, PATHOLOGY OF POWER, 1987, prefers this:
Ultimately, the danger is not that military spending
no longer is the adjunct of foreign policy but
that foreign policy becomes the adjunct of military
spending.
[for this has already happened and does it not undermine the
legitimacy of the military?]
The demise of a great nation
------------------------------------
"If the US and UK resist peace. . ."
We assert that no nation can long endure half
republic and half empire; and we warn the American
people that imperialism abroad will lead quickly
and inevitably to despotism at home.
Democratic Party platform plank, 1900.
This warning in 1900 may be said to have served the United States
[and the world] well for some 90 years but the 1990 "empire of bush-
thatcher" led, as was forewarned, very quickly to despotism in the
United States of America.
The "current regime in Washington" rules by tyranny [and polls];
hence the bombing of Iraq, the Sudan, and Afghanistan with no pretext
or concurrence whatsoever; and the bombing of Yugoslavia on the
flimsy pretext of "an expanded NATO." Militant capitalism claiming
to do GOOD by evil means.
No one has exemplified a legitimate military in recent years more
than Dwight D. Eisenhower ["I like Ike.:)] and so his evaluation
seems most pertinent to our current quagmire:
If the United Nations once admits that
international disputes can be settled
by using force, then we will have destroyed
the foundations of the organization. . .
on Israel's invasion of Egypt*
February 20, 1957
*Eisenhower immediately took steps to thwart this evil action and
delivered Egypt from the tyranny of the imperialists.
Make no mistake the bush-thatcher empirialism has done much harm/
evil, and the bozo regime has added insult to injury:
Those who corrupt the public mind are
just as evil as those who steal from
the public purse. Adlai Stevenson 9/12/1952
[New meaning for the "2-for-1" rhetoric!]
QUESTION: Can Annan,et al. [the Peace Team], in the spirit
of Eisenhower, thwart the evil that has been done
both to the United Nations and to the countries
bombed and end the tyranny of the imperialists --
the United States/United Kingdom and their cronies?
"If the US and UK resist peace, the body politic must expel them."

POSTSCRIPT: Can any good be done AFTER evil means have been
deployed?
It may comfort the rest of the world and inspire
confidence in the leadership of the "only super
power in the world" to know:
"Following a nuclear attack in the United States
the U.S. Postal Service plans to distribute
Emergency Change of Address cards."
Federal Emergency Management Agency,
Executive Order #11490, 1969
Perhaps this can be converted for use in Kosovo!
