THE NEW COLOSSUS

So, go ask your father or mother if they are happier now than they were when they were

your age. No wait, go ask your grandparents if they were happier when they were your

parents age. Remember how happy you are now, for this day will always be better than

tomorrow. We can never gauge happiness fairly because as we grow older we find that

even the bad times in the past seemed better than our good times today. Money and

suffering, the "The Leviathan and the Sea" are the "New Colossus" of the millennium. Wealth

and the war and suffering that it leaves in it's wake are staggering. So many need so little

yet so few have so much.

To begin to unravel the ongoing conspiracy of history and the collaborative efforts by multiple players to arrive at where we find ourselves today is daunting to say the least. As a child, to be introduced to the King James Bible was far beyond my minds comprehension of an understanding of anything. But my interest in history developed early and thus the Christianity influences I had sustained through the years had developed as well.

To have a desire for understanding history is fine. But with it comes the dilemma similar to Church and State or to Creationism. Faith and reason, truth and lies and good versus evil all sparring for dominance in our understanding of how to accept it, live it and achieve a direction for moral and spiritual discipline. When John Locke said “Faith, on the other side, is the assent to any proposition, not thus made out by the deductions of reason, but upon the credit of the proposer” I do not believe he was referring to the historian or author. With history, comes dates and events. But more important comes words. Since mankind cannot know the benevolence of the individual or body or without the prejudice in actions, one must presume the edit of words. Therefore, recorded history often indicts the facts as to the deeper truth.

How then, do we condone the Bush administration? How did the intelligence community get it so wrong? How did the bright and moral representatives of this country get duped? It is improbable to accept coincidental failure on all parties involved. Add to this the historical repetition of government involvement with support for characters such as Hitler, Pol Pot, Shah of Iran, Noriega and Bin-Laden, just to name a few. Knowing we have to have diplomatic channels with all sovereign governments is one thing but not the financial, trade or military and weapon sales. These players are never regulars, they just enter the picture when needed, then die off after a couple of episodes like a soap opera. All that remains is the history, neatly laid out as to keep Americans tuning in. Presented as failed policies to advance the cause for peace when in fact historically, it undermined the effort. Since the Crusades, the war machine has circumnavigated the globe under false flag and false faith to spread the commerce of religion. Not Catholicism, not Judaism, not Islam, but the religion of wealth. Call it Secularism, Freemarkets, Masonic, Illuminati, Bilderberg or anything else that sooths your conscience. The fact is we the US, and most of the other industrialized nations are all vying for the business. No longer are we concerned with who we sell them to as if that wasn't bad enough, but we are unable to learn the lessons that we will someday watch our children die from these sales.

We all know why we are there in Iraq and Afghanistan. Oil, gas, pipelines, War Profiteering and American-Israeli dominance in the Middle East. We just mix it with a little of this and little of that and end up with something we as individuals can swallow without gagging. Mixing WMD with 911, Suddam Hussain with Osama Bin-Laden was oil and water but we still ate it. Scandalous companies like Enron, Halliburton and Unocal mix well with Prozac, Paxil and Zoloft. We dismiss things like the Bush family history in banking and arms manufacturing, George H.W. Bush and his CIA connections, Dick Cheney and Halliburton, Wolfowitz and AIPAC, and dozens of other conflicts of interests. It just comes down to how we personally feel about money ourselves. Is cheap gas and oil worth it? Do you as an American believe there is no conspiracy or crimes on the part of government? With trillions of dollars at stake in oil and gas reserves and weapons contracts there, do you really believe that 911 was not planned. To get us completely into Vietnam our Intelligence (CIA), IMC (Oil, Defense) and military (Pentagon) assassinated our president and placed their "decider" in office? No, likely the Rothschild Illuminati and the European banking cartel who were certain JFK's plans were to buy out of the Federal Reserve and move to the U.S. Treasury on the Gold and Silver standard.

The hour hand on the clock turns, though you never see it move.
