The Big One is behind us. European and Japanese reconstruction is going great guns. There is a Communist problem. To maintain combat readiness, some genius decides we will police Korea. This was a master stroke. A new crop of soldiers too young for the Big One. A mostly war weary pool of older, seasoned war veterans and a draft that can force each group to policing. Thus begins the domino theory which would guide foreign policy for nearly forty years. The Genva Conventions do not apply to police actions. The whole nation was war weary and would have no more of it. But an itty bitty police action - now thats a different thing. Ever watch M.A.S.H.? Ha Ha, fooled you all, says the military - industrial (mass media, big business, big government, big finance) non conspiracy, President Eisenhower only hinted at. So how come Korean Police wore the same uniforms as the armed services? Someone is playing language games to win the support of the people. I wonder who it was. I wonder who is doing the very same thing today. Who I ask, might be lap dogs of war profiteers? I have a hunch. How about you? What are the lap dog numbers? Do we count all the good people on the government welfare/ pension system or just the ones who make, interpret, and enforce all the never ending laws? I think God did so well with ten. Others believe God got everything wrong, something like Gods servant George does. I might be confused. Would I have a right to be? I see all government employees as stakeholders with allegiance to war mongering, guaranteeing all benefits. I also see them a huge vote swinging force in national and local elections. I have been called a paranoid conspiracist by a conservative web master/ operator. If you agree, I do not mind. Anything sound paranoid to you, so far? Sounds a lot like the facts to me. Maybe this once they will matter. Warmonger stakeholders will support candidates who will insure their futures. A parasitic servant class slaving away for the good of all Americans. Painful to consider? Lets do it for the sake of some truth, however little. The best possible word we can have for a plutocratic global oligarchy is democracy. Everybody loves democracy and we will bless the entire world with it every chance we get, no matter the cost. Ten years after the profitable meat grinding and packing in Korea, another falling domino appears. Miracle of miracles - a whole new generation of police appear on the scene and we still have seasoned veterans to lead them, feed them into Vietnam. No conspiracy here; just a lot more damned good business coincidence. Another police action that will last three times as long as the last one. Will the profit opportunities never stop? Looks like it to me, but I might be paranoid. Open your mind, then call me an unpatriotic paranoid conspiracist if you can. I wont mind at all. (Publishers!
