America's Wrongdoings

The democratic people of America have elected the most evil regime ever to have exercised governmental authority. However it is debatable as to whether the American people did in fact elect this government. The wise people of the world know the truth. The ignorant, are oblivious of it. The ignorant never look for truth. They accept lies as inevitable, as part of politics and as something to which they have no power over. They are also apathetic, spiritually slothful and unwilling to go out of their way to set things right.The American Government relies on this fact.

The Americans and everybody in the entire world should take notice that there are many similarities to Hitler, Mussolini and The Neo Conservatives. All want(ed) to rule the world. All wanted to change the existing state of affairs. Hitler wanted to eradicate the Jews and The Neo Cons want to eradicate any body of peoples who oppose the Jews. Millions of people loved both Hitler and Mussolini. Millions of people love George Bush. But why? Why would anyone love George Bush? Why would Laura love him? Perhaps she is afraid of him. After all, should she reveal dark secrets of their relationship, it would be hard for her to hide. George would find her anywhere in the world. After all, wouldn't he make more of an effort to find her, than he has looking for Osama bin Laden?

George Bush claims to have talked with God. How did he know that it was God he was talking to? It could have been any evil entity posing as God. Anyway, if it was "a" god he was talking to, it was probably the god of Israel. That's the one in the Bible. That's the god who leads His people (Israelis) all over the place looking for the Promised Land. Is it any wonder that Christians who read the Bible think it is alright to kill other human beings, as long as they are your enemy. The Bible is full of hatred, killing, and revenge. Yet one of the Ten Commandments is, Thou Shalt Not Kill. The god in the Bible always says he is the god of Israel. Never the god of anywhere else. In Chronicles 34-25 (Good News Bible) They have rejected me and have offered sacrifices to other gods, and so have stirred up my anger by all they have done. My anger is aroused against Jerusalem, and it will not die down. As for the king himself, this is what I, the Lord of Israel, say:…………

Clearly this god acknowledges that there other gods other than himself. The strange thing is that in the time of Jesus and around the time the Bible was written, people were talking to this god all the time. The Bible tells us that this god's name is El. In Genesis 33-20: He (Jacob) put up an altar there and named it El, the god of Israel. So do you see that there are many gods. Perhaps each country has its own god. However only one book has been written about one god and that is the god of Israel. Is Ra El. Is ra el. Israel. It confounds me as to why Christians worship this god. Then there is Jehovah. Is this one and the same god? Or is this another god entirely? I would guess that they are not one and the same. How would anyone know them apart, unless they could see god. There could be literally thousands of gods. These are lesser gods and should not be capitalized. God, written with a capital letter is unknowable, is the God of the universe and the God of all that is, The Creator. How anyone with half a brain could think that the god of Israel, which was stateless for many years, could possibly be the great God of all that is. Please Christians, I ask you, if The Great God Of All That Is, our planet and all the other stars and planets, why would he be so obsessed with Israel? Think about it. And why are you so obsessed with a god who is totally obsessed with Israel?

Now it is my personal opinion (and it is just that) that George W Bush has not spoken to the god of Israel, or any other god for that matter. Why would these gods want to talk to him? I guess he is obsessed with Israel, but wouldn't he speak to Ariel Sharon, Benjamin Netanyahu, Ehud Berak, Shimon Peres or Yitzhak Rabin? None of these people claim to have spoken to the god of Israel.

I am very interested to know how Christians can justify what is happening in the name of religion. How could a sane person vote for the Republican Party in America yet again, after what has happened in Iraq? How can people watch TV and not be appalled by the drama unfolding in the 'theatre' of war. Have you noticed that the Americans representing the White House always use 'theatre of war'. This is evidently how they view war…… as entertainment. Yes, this is one hundred percent true. I have heard American soldiers laughing at the killing of civilians and you have heard it too. I have heard them exclaiming at the sight of bombs exploding, as if they were watching a fireworks display. Below I want you to read the words of an American Gulf War Veteran. It is a pity he did not speak out sooner. However, even if he had, it would have made little difference. Thousands need to speak out.

"I took an oath when I joined the Navy. I swore to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America from all enemies, foreign and domestic. Nowhere does it state that I must blindly follow the orders of unjust or immoral leaders. This is the reason that I am compelled to speak out against our use of Depleted Uranium. It is the biggest, invisible danger that our troops and the Iraqi people face and the most insidious. What we are committing is a silent genocide of both planet and people." Kim Hawkins - Gulf War Veteran

"We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality" This was spoken by a White House spokesperson. If you are not an American, put up your hand if you think this is acceptable. Now if you are an American, how do you feel about this?
Below is a photograph taken a few days after the war on Iraq started. Is this your daughter? Or perhaps she is your sister, or neighbour? What if this was a relative of yours, someone you loved dearly and had done no wrong? How would you feel? The US Government did this to this little girl and many other children that got in their way. What are these dreadful atrocities called? That's right…..collateral Damage! What a disgrace!
I have a neighbour getting hysterical because I have cut down a few trees. Can you imagine this little girl is your daughter, sister or neice? Can you now imagine her mother is in hospital with an arm ripped off and her son and husband are dead, killed in front of their eyes? One son was somewhere else and escaped the carnage. Why is it so difficult for people to understand why a suicide bomber does what they do?

Little Iraqi girl with legs blown off

   

Doesn't your heart ache when you look at this photograph? Yet some American soldiers laugh when they kill. It is no more serious than a video game. In fact I have heard tell that the US Government picks young men used to playing a lot of video games.

   

Iraqi man who has been beheaded

   

This Iraqi has been beheaded. It may not have been done by Americans, but it is happening whilst the US is occupying Iraq. People in general are suffering far more under the US occupation, than they ever did under Saddam Husein.

   

An Iraqi man with a slash in his side showing organs

   

This is what is happening in Iraq. This could be an American, look at the color of the skin. He is someone's son. Try to understand it. Why is it that this is unavoidable and permitted, when the things Saddam Hussein did were not?

   

 A head with no face

This may have been done by Iraqi suicide bombers, but would never have happened if the US had not invaded

   

This may have been done by Iraqi suicide bombers, but if the US had not invaded Iraq, this would never have happened

   

How can a person forgive these atrocities? If the injuries or deaths occured as a result of an accident, yes, that would be forgivable. I do not condone suicide bombing. It is wrong and in the long term unhelpful. But I can understand why they do it. I can not understand why the American Government finds it acceptable to kill, attack, invade or bomb, when not in self defence.

   

The theatre of war, the spectacle, the game

   

This is the theatre of war, the spectical, the game. This is what we watched on our TV screens day after day and night after night. This is what US soldiers laughed at and rejoiced at. This was how they got their kicks. But if the Iraqis had done this to their country, to their families, their friends..................it would be a different story.
