Excerpt:

"Why of course the people don't want war. Why should some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece? Naturally the common people don't want war neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or 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 peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country."

~ Hermann Goering, President of the Nazi Reichstag

It is precisely this "Islamo-fascist/War on Terror" lie which is propagated by not only right-wing media personalities such as Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh and Bill O’Reilly among many others, but an increasing amount of left-wing media talking-heads like Chris Matthews, Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow as well now that "their guy" is in power. The war is suddenly OK. "Obama is just doing his best to clean up Bush’ mess. There’s only so much he can do, you know." Yeah, right.

Well, my fellow patriotic Americans, it’s not OK.

It’s not OK that we went into Iraq, killed over 1.3 million innocent civilians, polluted their soil and water with depleted uranium munitions, displaced millions of other Iraqis, and have turned their country into a third-world cesspool so that we could control their oil. It’s not OK that we went into Afghanistan so that we could re-invigorate the opium trade (which had been all but decimated by the Taliban), keep the black market money flowing to fund the CIA, ISI, MI6, Mossad, etc., and ensure record crops of poppy fields while "our troops" stand guard. Pat Tillman was about to come home and expose it all until he was murdered by his own government.

So, my fellow Americans, please understand that when you blindly say you "support the troops" because that’s what good Americans do, you are only supporting the individual and NOT their command or their mission. For it has been proven that their mission is a lie, a fraud, unconstitutional and illegal. Support the individual and pray for their safety – not only from our "supposed" enemies who are merely defending their own homeland, sovereignty, property and natural resources, but from those in our own government who use them merely as instruments in their sick and twisted game of global empire and world domination. As Henry Kissinger, one of the long-time establishment’s "elite" minions and another questionable winner of the Nobel "Peace" Prize, so bluntly put it, "Military men are just dumb stupid animals to be used as pawns in foreign policy." This is the same attitude of your leaders in DC.

Yes, it is sad that our troops have been reduced to the heavy hand enforcers of western "democracy" under a corrupt and tyrannical American government. Our troops are now nothing more than the strong arm of the global mafia: the cabal of central banks and greedy corporations of the world working in concert to rob the wealth of nations and impoverish and enslave the good people of the world. These criminals own the entire military industrial complex, to include the "troops" and these are the same people pushing hard for their "global government" which will be pushed further down the path to realization in Copenhagen, Denmark this December under the guise of once again, "saving humanity from itself."

These so-called "elites" are the true destroyers of humanity and all that is good in the world and they have the nerve to use false patriotism and wrap themselves in the American flag as they send our sons and daughters, brothers and sisters and fathers and mothers off to fight and die in unjust wars in foreign lands. Not to protect and defend our Constitution, our ideals, our morals and our way of life, but to ensure the corporate takeover of the world; to enable the raping and pillaging of sovereign lands not for the gain of world peace or "democracy," but of PROFIT and greater and greater power; and to lead humanity towards the neo-feudal system which has been their dream and ultimate end-game for decades, if not centuries.
