The Iraq Is Only The Beginning Current rating: 0

You are either with us or a promblem
how to lead.jpg
This agony-stricken nation merely poses a cheap object to test the efficiency of the future US military actions. The invasion and the profitable control over the access to the oil fields capable of producing 250 billion barrels of raw oil may deliver this Bush regime from an early collapse of the misguided and resource-gobbling American economy. This invasion seems to have been devised already by senior Bush in 1991 who has kept 5000 American tanks on Kuwaiti bases ready for the future actions.

The real reasons behind creation of Homeland Security Agency, Total Information Awareness (TIA) and rigorous curtailing of basic civil rights in the USA have nothing in common with the fight against terror and dictators, as the report below clearly reveals. Disguised as a war against terrorism and preservation of freedom and other democratic values, something very unsavoury is being fed to gullible American people, something that will very soon turn against all Americans who may want to oppose the onset of unpopular back-breaking measures executed by the Bush regime. Since 1984 concentration camps all over America have been made ready to be taken into operation. A sober evaluation based on common sense suggests that the American administration is not going to catch enough terrorists to justify the existence of all these camps. Rather it is expecting massive nationwide unrest and getting ready to brutally and violently nip it in the bud. To stop a rebellion, it usually suffices to take out only its most active members and adherents. From this point of view, the camps capacity seems to be well calculated.

Secret services of many nations know about these plans but only few countries dared so far to make a stand against them. Others simply fear economic and political disadvantages that may arise from opposition to the USA or hope for additional benefits coming from supporting Bush, as his doctrine continue to follow the rule:

'You are either with us or against us!'


When we see this, we can only beg all democratically minded people in the USA to wake up and to get rid of this administration. Otherwise, consequences may reach a dimension, which the humanity cannot imagine in its worst nightmare. For a long time, totalitarian anti-human forces have been preparing this shift using subtle propaganda so that nations cannot recognize their effort for what it is. Now the noose gets tighter than ever. Germany, Russia, France, and many other nations had these sad experiences before. For American people this is new and, as the Americans are not aware of the danger, they might eagerly step into the trap. Why 80% of Europeans (counting more than 300 million people only in Europe) are against starting a war under currently existing circumstances and on premise of currently available evidence, becomes only clear if one knows about these lessons learned from the history. No one can claim it is a phantasm of irrelevant pacifists anymore. The bigger part of the world population smells rat and makes the move to oppose deceit. This war would be unjust; it would be fought against a tortured and agonising nation; it would pose a breach of international law and turn into a massacre of defenceless civilians. If America attacks Iraq on the premise of that flimsy evidence only, she, too, deserves to be forcibly disarmed by UN with the use of all possible means. Subsequent US administrations have been arming their military with killing machines of ever growing effectiveness. They keep spending enormous budgets on wars that they permanently fight since 1945 all over the globe in order to secure for themselves economic advantages and resources, while credulous American people and many other nations keep believing in the false pretence of struggle for democracy and freedom.

And do you know what one of the worst parts of this will be?

Having to put up with all the crappy, one-note pseudo-satire from strike-free.net.
