NIGHTMARES

Comment by Larry Ross, November 15, 2004

The worst nightmare scenario has come true. The neo-conservatives claim they have just had a mandate to continue creating a new American version of reality. Kerry won the US Presidential election, but like Gore in 2000, was cheated out of his victory by the machinations of the neo-conservatives and their Republican allies and others in the voting machine industry. (see: http://www.nuclearfree.org.nz/ohio.htm )

I think they will implement their agenda of perpetual war and continue to condition Americans to accept this and accept as their patriotic duty, all sacrifices including their sons, if necessary to win the phantom "war on terror". Only the American people have any chance of stopping them. However opposition in the US, New Zealand and elsewhere is fragmented, confused and miserably under-funded.

Even if the deplorable lack of opposition funding helps make possible massive genocides continuing wars and an early grave for the human race, most wealthy bulging purses will remain firmly closed. On the other hand the committed neocons and evangelicals know how to make financial sacrifices to achieve their goals, even it it's one or more nuclear Armageddons. They believe God promised them an Armageddon battle between good and evil in the Bible. So a real nuclear Armageddon is to them, a realization and fulfilment of their goals. The madness is being entrenched and rewarded with Bush appointing rational madmen to key Administration positions in the US today. Few would argue against the evangelical vision of God's will in the US today.
US mainstream Churches have done a little, but remarkably little to counter this crazy apocalyptic vision. Generally they tend to live in their own narrow bubble and not consider the apocalyptic visions and commitment of the evangelical or fundamentalist Christians.

The neocoms will portray all opposition to their plans as a manifestation of sympathy for terrorists. They will suppress it if necessary using a strengthened Patriot Act. Otherwise they will permit weak or limited and barely relevant opposition as a manifestation of "freedom and democracy". However alleged "terrorist warnings" or actual attacks on the US, however arranged, will provide "proof" of the "truth" of all the lies the neocons created to fool people into supporting George Bush. They will create new wars, and carry on with the next steps on their agenda.

Please, please don't let the neocons take away your memory, stupefy your concerns and steal the future of yourself and children. The media in the US, New Zealand and elsewhere is doing it's best to suppress the truth, ignore or repeat US lies and help condition their populations to believe in the new neocom reality. In other words, getting people to accept, forget, minimize or forgive a litany of lies, and get on with phoney wars, has become the mission of most mass media in the Western World today.

However everyone must continue to remember that the neocons planned the Iraq war for years. The 9/11 attacks provided an opportunity to have the George Bush administration create a litany of lies to justify spending billions of dollars and over 1,000 American lives to make an illegal war on Iraq. The Lancet report said the US has killed 100,000 Iraqis so far.

Also, keep remembering what the mass media want you to minimize or forget: that there was no (WMD) weapons of mass destruction in Iraq; no links with Osama Bin Laden or Al Qaeda and Saddam, no participation in the 9/11 attacks a brutal dictator supported originally by the US, had no plans to attack the US "or UK in 45 minutes" as claimed by Tony Blair and that this entire fraud is illegal and propels our Western countries to commit a series of major war crimes.
So we are confronted with a mind-boggling realization that the entire Bush-Blair-neocom war and mass killing, costing hundreds of US$billions, has been a totally unjust and unnecessary exercise violating US and international laws and endangering humanity. It's no longer good enough to deny the real world, believe they're okay and trivialize the threats and crimes by saying "what's the fuss about?. It's okay mate, she's right".

We must all face the greatest, premeditated bloody fraud in history, that is trashing our highest values, stealing billions, killing hundreds of thousands, is backed up with thousands of nuclear weapons, and it that may end civilization. Many people are just too tied up in the responsibilities and rush of their own lives to know what's happening - and the mass media they see won't tell them. Yet too many people just don't care, others are asleep or apathetic.

Some have become like their animals - like cows and sheep, chewing their cud and pretending it isn't happening. If they are concerned at all, they believe they can do nothing. Or they may be afraid, and determinedly do nothing, including no support for those trying to oppose neocon fanaticism.
