The WAR ON TERROR, or….The War Against the American People

A war of terror is being waged on our southern border.  Drug cartels are kidnapping, killing and terrorizing American citizens in communities along that border.  Hit lists, the murder or prosecution of border agents adds to the list of terrorist activities. 

 

But wait!  We have the Patriot Acts 1 & 2 to scare those terrorists away!  We have the Military Commissions Act!  The John Warner Defense Authorization Act of 2007, the FISA spying bill, and even the Civil Assistance Plan with Canada and Mexico so that their militaries can be brought here and used in the event of a national emergency….against us!  We have all of these and many more, plus many in the works supposedly to thwart those evil terrorists and to keep us safe from being attacked again……only all these bills are directed at us, not the terrorists.  The only people they have any adverse affect on, is us.  The only people that need to fear these kinds of laws…are the people of the United States.

 

So if I understand all of this correctly, its ok to attack our communities on the border, to kill or attempt to kill our border agents, to jump the border and enter the country illegally, to assault or kill anyone who interferes with drug cartel free trade and ok to unconstitutionally and illegally extend an invitation to the military of a foreign country to perform active duty on our sovereign soil against us.  But we can’t send an armed military force of our own to patrol and secure that border and defend the communities along that border. 

 

Strange, but I thought all this unconstitutional legislation and dictatorial power given to el presidente was to keep us safe from things like this.  Isn’t that the excuse given for why we should willingly give up our civil liberties?  Why spy agencies are now spying on American citizens? Why the FBI is compiling personal dossiers on every person?  Why Homeland Security wants us all tagged like cattle and why they are compiling lists of American citizens deemed to be “suspect” for speaking out? 

 

The military police can be called in for a flood but not for a war on our southern border? 

Isn’t it strange that during the recent flooding in Iowa, “military police” were patrolling the streets in full riot gear armed with assault weapons, and making it apparent that this was a test run of martial law and few took note of this?  I guess Iowans should be thankful that Blackwater or CACI wasn’t called in. 

 

As the war on the border escalates, I can only assume that the drug lords are joyously celebrating the construction of the NAFTA highway that will cut up through the heartland of the country giving them unfettered access.  No wonder they are so adamant about maintaining their free trade status.  Personally, I think they should form corporations which would give them expanded access to our government, allow them to lobby and pay for laws they want passed to benefit their free trading.  Instead of meeting resistance at the border while plying their drug trade, el presidente could order our military to the border to make sure the drugs are brought across safely, ensuring the drug, free trade policy operates as smoothly as possible.  After all, our military is used to wage wars for oil cartels…..why not drug cartels?

 

Is this any less ludicrous than what is actually happening?  How screwed up do things have to get?

 

The idea that our government has entered into agreements with foreign governments against the legal citizens of the United States, just in case we get really pissed off and actually stand up and demand the corruption ends, should have had all of us storming the streets and should have seen many members of congress and the Bush administration jailed for treason.  The idea that this agreement was entered into, illegally, and is accepted and condoned if only by the silence from congress, while our entire southern border is under siege and left undefended is untenable. 

 

What about this phony “War on Terror”?  If the situation on our southern border is not terrorist activity…..what is it?  United States citizens are being attacked and/or killed.  Our border patrol is being attacked and/or killed.  And all of this by criminals whose intent is to sell drugs in our communities or kill us trying.  Sound like terrorism to you?

 

If this situation points out no other thing, it surely has to be that the “War on Terror” is really a “war OF Terror” brought to you courtesy of your own government.   While American citizens are threatened with military force for dissenting, protesting, speaking out or otherwise opposing this fascist regime that has taken control of our country, Mexican drug lords are attacking our border and its citizens without fear of reprisal. 

 

I find it odd that our National Guard can be sent all the way to the other side of the world to fight a previously non-existent enemy for a non-existent crime; they can bomb, shoot, set fire to, blow up, mow down and in a thousand different ways eradicate an entire indigenous population because they refused to let multi-national oil cartels raid their oil deposits and no one seems to think there is anything wrong with this.  But we can’t take the same National Guard units, arm them and put them on our border to defend it from drug traffickers and illegal entry into this country of millions of opportunists.

 

Let’s get this straight.  There is no War on Terror!  There is only a war against you and me and every other citizen of this country that has been the focus of every rights robbing piece of legislation, every instance of the failure of government to act to protect us.  We are the “terrorists” referred to.  We are the intended recipients of military force, of martial law, as we are the people that represent a threat to this government.

 

If you think this situation is out of control now, just wait till that NAFTA highway divides our country and provides a route straight into Canada.
