2. So are we spending half a score |

in Iraq or in the Middle East? It sounds like he's laying the groundwork for an expansion plan. Funny thing is--I don't think he or the Chimp will be calling the plays.

They're getting just what they want - perpetual war.
George Orwell once wrote: "And it's not a matter of whether the war is not real or if it is. Victory is not possible. The war is not meant to be won, it is meant to be continuous. Hierarchical society is only possible on the basis of poverty and ignorance. This new version is the past and no different past can ever have existed. In principle the war effort is always planned to keep society on the brink of starvation. The war is waged by the ruling group against its own subjects and its object is not the victory over either Eurasia or East Asia but to keep the very structure of society intact."
Sadly, Orwell's prophecy was right on point.

5. The first perpetual war was the drug war |

In the Nixon tapes, Nixon talks about the need to control the blacks without it being obvious. Cannabis Prohibition under the Marijuana Tax Act of 1937 was declared unconstitutional in 1969. He would see to it that it was made a Schedule 1 Narcotic despite the Schaeffer Commission that he had stacked opposed his predetermine outcome. He would ramp up the drug war and turn the greatest medicinal plant ever into something that absolutely no medical value.
The drug war is the perpetual war in nature that Orwell describes. The drug war itself corrupts our government and inflicts harm with the laws themselves and the war is not real. It is all about a police state and keeping the social order where the wealthy rule.
What is so strange is the scope of the drug war including the corresponding huge casualties, yet there is no discussion at all in the media. It is like they cannot talk about it for fear that when people make their final conclusions it will say the drug war was a bogus creation all along.
This is my 1000th post. I guess it is time to take a break.
