Just
a point.
“Ever desperate for an excuse to bear
arms . .”
The
people patrolling the Mexican border don’t have guns. When they find
illegal entry, they inform the Border patrol.
Racism?
– Someone must be kidding.

Ever desperate for an
excuse to bear arms, new groups of US citizens have been not only congregating
to discuss concerns about illegal immigrants crossing their borders, they are
actually taking it upon themselves to patrol the borders. They say they are
worried about drugs, and especially about terrorists. They have been guarding
the Mexican border for a while now, and as can be expected, have been subject
to accusations of racism. Now a group is prepared to do the same at the Washington border to Canada, and have already begun to
wander the nearby woodlands looking for those possible twenty or so per annum
that might sneak across that way. It’s a leisurely past-time,
just them and their gun accomplishing very little, but walking off the pent up
aggression over their loss of American
Way of Life, which once included respect for
Americans from Canada,
I guess.
Personally, I think
they’d be far more effective if they were to patrol the White House or
Dubya’s ranch for dangerous terrorists, but the collective
hive mind cannot permit the possibility that the patriarchal hero of 9/11
has created for them the most dangerous time in America. They fail to grasp that
the collective subconscious can only sustain an ego by projecting onto those
who disagree with their warring minds the intent of harm.
As was interestingly
demonstrated by Prof. McMurtry of Guelph University Philosophy Department, the US
tends to accuse other nations of evils that they themselves are currently or
are about to unleash upon the accused. Best recent example is, of course, Iraq’s alleged intent to use WMD, and the
resultant release of same by US forces upon the people of Iraq.
Yesterday, London England
was host to 60 countries for the biannual Defense Systems & Equipment
International exhibition. A little one-stop shopping to help feed the $trillion
plus per annum industry. Included guests were China,
Algeria, Saudi Arabia, Columbia,
Iraq, Israel...all of
whom have questionable human rights records. (I believe this is the one Prince
Andrew was involved with two years ago.) So here is Britain, sanctioning these events
under the guise of counterterrorism and defense technologies for both
governments and corporations, and crying horror and amazement over the
recent bombings.
Then we received
the Ft.Worth Star Telegram report about US 2003 international arms
sales, which stated that 20 out of the top 25 of the US best clients were either from
undemocratic regimes or from governments with major human rights abuses. We all
know the US
leads in world arms sales. Can’t stop manufacturing WMD. Can’t find
enough nations to accuse of building them either.
If ever there was a
nation so full of guilt, waiting to unload it onto others, it is America.
The fear will only escalate if it continues to find profit in
war. Deep down, they all know what these weapons do to others. At the
moment, America’s
only saving grace may be Katrina’s direct hit to the infrastructure. With
it, the illusion of terrorism being the nation’s number one concern is
exposed as little more than an excuse for profit for a few.
