=============

FedGov irony and a 'war' too far?

FedGov irony - now that God, plus any sense
of morality, have been thrown out of
everything official:

As I recall - it was Billy Graham's daughter,
on the Jay Leno Show - who related,
amongst other similar items - that God had
been thrown out of the schools.

Maybe this explains why some kids have
gone berserk at school; to kill classmates,
teachers and themselves (to say nothing of
their parent's antics ...).

And, the FedGov has spied on and
sequestered entire churches - plus shot up
and roasted Christian babies in occupied
Texas - with impunity.

Now, this latest UNDECLARED 'war' on
yet another abstract noun 'terror'
(remembering, of course, that 'war' is always
supposed to rescue the economy) will not
reap any reward (nor spoils) of substance -
and seems to be dragging America nowhere -
but down - and farther into already
unfathomable debt slavery.

Just like the war on alcohol - 75 years ago -
that created the Mafia (currently the best
organized and well-financed political party in
America ...). LOST.
The expensive 'war' on drugs. LOST.
The expensive 'war' on crime. LOST.
The VERY expensive 'war' on communism
in Vietnam. LOST. (Well, at least godless
communism finally collapsed - without
Western support in the 1980s.)

The Rights of the American people (who
cannot control their govenment's antics and -
by and large - are not responsible for this
mess) have been eroded to nothing. Now you
can have everything you own taken away on
a mere accusation, to be left with nothing to
defend yourself with - even if you are
innocent.

The rather less than righteous stock market
has been completely corrupted.

Apparently, the thieves on Wall Street raped
and pillaged it so effectively - financially
speaking - they are now finding that global
investors have lost confidence in their
markets.

And, guess what? The global economy is
now collapsing because of this lunacy - with
the dollar looking as if if is going into
'freefall'...

So, just last week, God (and arguably all
morality) was removed from the Pledge of
Allegiance - by a so-called 'conservative'
AND 'patriotic' US Supreme court ...

OK. What do they expect now?

Gratitude from the people PLUS His
everlasting divine bounty and blessings?

Surely they do - and will demand it. But, why
do I get the odd feeling that God is not
listening at the moment?

If Argentina NOW - and the collapse of the
mighty Soviet Union 10 years ago - are
anything to go by, next April, the people might
not be listening either.

And, you may recall President Wm. Clinton,
while traveling in the New Russia, was
asking everyone there to pay their taxes -
including income tax. That was beyond
surreal ...

Whatever the powers-that-be are up to - or
think they are up to - it sure ain't workin' nor
lookin' very good. One might even be
forgiven for thinking the writing is on the wall
...

So, where does it go from here?

Please advise as your views and comments
are always appreciated.

Yours,
