It's almost midnight...

I had a nice informative evening watching on cable "Why We Fight"! Catch it if you can...Back in believe in 1961 when Dwight D Eisenhower left the presidency he publicly warned in his parting address about the dangers of the military industrial war machine. In other words..war for profit.

Then came Nixon and Vietnam..start before Kennedy came into office by the war machine. Was Kennedy in the way?

Vietnam lasted for eleven years with the draft.

This time there is no draft; but, major incentives and bonuses give young poor uneducated men an opportunity for education and money..at a high price. This war too I believe will go on for a long time...seven military basis will be permanent in the Middle East. We are there to stay.

In 1991 Cheney was CEO of Kellogg Brown corporation whose job was to clean up during and after wars. Cheney made lots of money.

Now there Haliburton. Watch "Why We Fight" and get a totally different perspective than what you see and hear on the nightly preprogrammed propaganda news.

The whole reason for going to war in Iraq was a lame as could be. Why Rumsfeld and Cheney were about laughing..they knew they had it wrapped up. On Colin Power looked like he didn't want any part of it.

Both sides of the isle in Congress signed the right over to go to war to the president...big business demands lots of favors.

It's a fascinating documentary but part of the American culture. The corporate world is now global in every country with no concerns for life in regards to pollution and global warming because there is big business and large profits to be made with oil.

This country demands the most in middle eastern oil...well so we can drive the biggest ever built vehicles..It's unbelievably amazing to me how easily people can be bought and guided by propaganda and commercials. Totally amazing to me. People do not want to analyze or think for themselves and its a good thing soldiers don't want to...it's better if they don't.. especially if they have any sort of a conscious left at all.

Oh well, it all works! It is what make the world go around well for a little while longer anyway. It's what make the stock market prosper and the share holders get rich.

Life is so amazing..

I try to remember to live in the moment and not think too much or too hard about anything...just go with the flow. And don't count of anyone or anything..it's all fluid. A passing process. An ever flowing river of change. No day is like another.
