Consistent Inconsistencies

Newsweek, Feb 2009, front cover states “We Are All Socialists Now”. This is after the inauguration of our first socialist, Muslim president. How soon before Newsweek will say “We Are Infidels Now”? The 9/11 fiasco was only exceeded by the 9/11 stupidity. The government expected the public to buy their explanation of the killing of President Kennedy. Does the government actually expect us to buy the killing of 13 Americans and the wounding of 30 Americans at Ft. Hood? You can be sure the Army will give an explanation but the Army seldom tells the truth about anything. Can one even imagine that on the largest Army base in the world, a place crowded with combat veterans, one deranged Army officer could get off one hundred shots before being wounded by civilian police who had to come in from off base.

Where were the military police? There are so many questions and we will be fortunate, indeed, to get a truthful answer. The taxpayers who paid for this psychiatrist's education deserve an answer. The Congress, who has oversight over the military and intelligence agencies, deserves an answer. At a time, when supposedly all communication is checked, a time where babies' diapers are inspected at airports, a time when school children are not allowed to look at a book in school pertaining to guns, how is it that a Muslim fanatic is wearing the rank of Major, the medical insignia caduceus, is lecturing at a Mosque while counseling returning warriors not to fight Muslims with whom we are at war? Who is crazy, the psychiatrist or the military, CIA, FBI? It takes time for the truth to show up, but just as the lies about babies being thrown out of incubators in Kuwait, the military finally had to tell the truth. The hardworking, tax paying, sweating, frugal living, God fearing citizens deserve an answer, not lies and deceit, not political correctness.

Off the front burner is the war in Afghanistan where young men and women, wearing the uniform of this country, expect something besides the usual politics. Strange, their commander asked for more troops but their former commander (now ambassador to the country) conveniently leaked that no more troops are needed. Everyone, these days, knows nothing about “chain of command”.

Modern warfare seems to be a matter of civilian contractors and CIA specialists. The family of Ike Atkinson were patients of mine. I always thought it strange that every member of his family owned a Cadillac (his mother, daughter, etc.). From 1968-1975, Sergeant Atkinson was famous for sending heroin back hidden in the bodies of dead soldiers (Vietnam was the first warfare in which the dead were returned to their families for burial). Illegal drugs had become the most profitable corruption of America, Vietnam, Columbia, now Afghanistan. Even children's comic books are depicting corruptions of governments. This week, 120 nations gathered in Qatar to give the United Nations permission to investigate the corruption of their governments. I wonder how large an army of investigators it will take? Along with the establishment of American bases throughout the Middle East (Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, etc.) to protect the oil flow, such bases are surely being used to protect drug flow. The direct drug flow from the Middle East to Mexico is now a matter of common knowledge. Juarez is the most dangerous city in the world. Most of the cities along the border have so many murders, so much corruption that there is constant conflict between the police and the military.

Next to illegal people and illegal drugs, the most consistent inconsistency in American life is the corruption of Washington officials; all involving greed. Goldman Sachs, the apex of consistent greed, was putting a Triple A rating on their bonds as they were internally betting against their bonds. Hedging, involving the implosion of the housing market. They knew, ahead of time, that all was about to go underwater while taking over the questionable bonds of Ameriquest and New Century, putting a Triple A rating on them. Henry Paulson, grander than God, was wallowing in the billions made on Wall Street with his bonds while wallowing, as Prince of the White House, in the few fiat dollars left in the American treasury. The state controlled media hung on every word of Alan Greenspan such as “irrational exuberance”. Geithner, Bernanke, Picower, Madoff, all Jews with an appetite for greed and control.

Our blessed Lord thought he had problems with Pharisees but think of what the likes of Henry Paulson and his carefully selected “brightest” boys from the most prestigious universities have done to this country. The enabler, joint conspirator, self serving, supposed Christian-conservative George W. Bush made the financial and economic environment of this nation a playground for Paulson and his ilk. Even this very day, Paulson and Goldman Sachs are making $100 million a day using the bailout funds to push up the stock market. Think of the bonuses paid for these extortioners to rob the public. Think of a complacent SEC who certainly knew the North Pole activities (so much cocaine in the Madoff offices), the Ponzi scheme, and the other activities which should have been regulated.

What if Bishop Sheen or Mother Teresa had asked for money to relieve the suffering of the poor and then just put the money in their pockets? I am totally blind, but my nose and other senses seldom fail me. The Goldman Sachs fiasco is a stinking mess. The Ft. Hood fiasco is a stinking mess. The supposed fight against illegals, whether drugs or people, is a stinking mess. The country cannot just walk away from the consistent inconsistencies like Lou Dobbs, we must continue to fight the battle of faith. Faith in our country to do what is right and faith in almighty God to bring to justice, even here on this Earth, those who will enslave us.

O God, whom I praise, do not remain silent, for wicked and deceitful men have opened their mouths against me; they have spoken against me with lying tongues. With words of hatred they surround me; they attack me without cause. In return for my friendship they accuse me, but I am a man of prayer. They repay me evil for good, and hatred for my friendship. Appoint an evil man to oppose him; let an accuser stand at his right hand. When he is tried, let him be found guilty, and may his prayers condemn him. May his days be few; may another take his place of leadership. May his children be fatherless and his wife a widow. May his children be wandering beggars; may they be driven from their ruined homes. May a creditor seize all he has; may strangers plunder the fruits of his labor. May no one extend kindness to him or take pity on his fatherless children. May his descendants be cut off, their names blotted out from the next generation. May the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the LORD; may the sin of his mother never be blotted out. May their sins always remain before the LORD, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth. For he never thought of doing a kindness, but hounded to death the poor and the needy and the brokenhearted. He loved to pronounce a curse— may it come on him; he found no pleasure in blessing— may it be far from him. He wore cursing as his garment; it entered into his body like water, into his bones like oil. May it be like a cloak wrapped about him, like a belt tied forever around him. May this be the LORD's payment to my accusers, to those who speak evil of me. (Psalm 109:1-20)
