IN SEARCH OF ANOTHER WAR! (Frazer Chronicle)
With unemployment well over 10% "if you include those who quite the search," the United States has remained strong in this dubious statistic. In Wisconsin, Oshkosh Truck had a terrible 4th. quarter and in Wisconsin, "Oshkosh is a true barometer of war-time employment, given their close ties and truck contracts with the Federal Government and the Pentagon.
Small war making business has sprouted up all over the Midwest during the first decade of the 21st. century. The war(s), both in Iraq and Afghanistan have been a boon to many economies throughout the United States. In a little town of 4000 in central Wisconsin, Clintonville, the economy is dominated by war machine makers, Schutt, F.W.D. "Four Wheel Drive," Seagrave and Walker Forge.
Each company either makes complete war units or parts of war machinery which are used throughout the entire nation. Across America, war tool makers are raking in billions and their workers are making comfortable livings indeed. So for many, there is a vested interest in the United States to make war, to continue the "struggle for peace and the American way."
I watched with interest yesterday what the "talking heads" were saying about Iran and it's trek to manufacture a nuclear devise, "or to develop nuclear power for it's people's use." Without exception each of these people professed a "grave and real fear of Iran with a nuclear weapon in their hands." It reminded me of another period in recent American history , and the fear of a "mushroom cloud over Washington D.C."
The arguments that those people spread are pretty much the same as they were in 1916, or 1950, or 1960, or in 1979, only the names have been changed, and not to protect the innocent. Of course the bearers of these messages changes, but unbelievably the message stays almost exactly the same. I guess using the same message saves on printing costs, and the message is easier to interchange, forming sort of a history about some of the countries intent.
In the latest "blast" of war mongering, warships should be deployed, covert activities stepped up and an increase in sharper rhetoric by U.S. diplomats used. Reports by agencies such as the BPC, "Bipartisan Policy Center" should be heeded and pretty much excepted at face value. The old "all options are on the table," is again.....on the table.
Sanctions by America and her allies against Iran is beginning to take a toll mostly on those least equip to deal with such things, the poor. It has been suggested by some that first these sanctions be used to squeeze the people and then use the threat of military intervention to dissuade Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to quite his foolhardy plunge into nuclear weaponry.
As always, America has a willing ally, Israel, as these two hawks join hands in an attempt to form a solid protest against nuclear proliferation in Iran and the Middle East. It's basically a "Iraq Redux" not unlike the Charlie Sheen movie back in the 1990's.
Did you ever wonder exactly where these people are steering the country, did you ever wonder "how much is enough." Some idiot wrote a book, published recently, and in it was his opinion that violence, man against man was decreasing. I really don't know where this joker is getting his information, but I'm pretty damn sure it wasn't from either state, national, or world activity.
As long as our country continues to "need" war to make it, to spread our type of peace, government and work environment, we are in the deepest kind of.....s@%^ . Until we put down our weapons and offer our handshake in peace, we are on the brink.
