Politicians, by nature, lie. It must be part of their
DNA. I dare say such a thing because the lies of politicians occur daily and
are duly noted, if lamely, by the so-called "Lamestream Media," most of whom are
employed by corporations which provide their personal politicians the means
whereby they can remain in office and continue to lie.
Georgi W. Bushki once commented to the effect it's
better to err on the side of life (see photo above). Today, after thousands of
American soldiers were killed via his orders, and multiple thousands of Iraqis
lost their lives, we know Mr. Bushki to be an enormous liar. We know his
concern was never to err on the side of life, but rather on the side of those
who would control the oil reserves of the Middle East . Any contrived
contriteness on the part of Mr. Bushki for those who died as a result of his
illegal and immoral militaristic adventures was just that - contrived and
phony: his tears were crocodile tears!
Currently, many of the neocons who clamored for invading
Iraq and Afghanistan , are once again beating the drums for war - this time with
Iran . Iran has lots of oil. Iran is engaged in becoming a nuclear power. For
peaceful purposes, of course. Or so the Iranian leaders
claim.
The neocons, who have no problem with India having the
bomb, or Pakistan and Israel having the bomb, or Russia (which appears to be
metamorphosing into the old Soviet Union), or China , or... So, what's the
problem? Why pick on Iran ? Is Iran more of a threat to the United States than
these other countries (not counting Israel , of course)?
In case you have any doubts about this resurrected
neocon vision for another war, just Google "Neocons want war with Iran
."
Neocons lie! All of them. Especially neocons holding
public office.
If they get their way, thousands, perhaps millions of
human beings will die. And you can bet your life neither the neocons nor
members of their family will be in the front lines. They'll happily send you,
your wife, your children and your grandchildren into the maelstrom, but they'll
hide out in the D.C. bars, swizzling martinis while their apocalyptic vision of
death by firestorm is carried out and your flesh and blood are seared beyond
recognition.
Georgi W. Bushki lied. The neocons lie. They lie, we
die.
How can this happen when the people oppose such action?
Consider this quote; you may have read it before but it has become particularly
pertinent in mid-2012:
"Of course the people don't want war. But after all,
it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a
simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist
dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice,
the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy.
All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the
pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater
danger."

Trials
