The following is excerpted from an article by Michael Ventura, written 02/03/05. No concept lies more firmly embedded in our national character than the notion that the USA is "No. 1", "the greatest". Our broadcast media are, in essence, continuous advertisements for the brand name "America Is No.1". Any office seeker saying otherwise would be committing political suicide. In fact, anyone saying otherwise will be labeled "un-American". We're an empire, ain't we? Sure we are. An empire that must borrow 2 billion dollars a day from our competitors in order to function. Yet the delusion is ineradicable. We're no.1. Well, this is the country you really live in: The United States is 49th in the world in literacy -- The United States ranked28th out of 40 countries in mathematical literacy -- Twenty percent of Americans think the sun orbits the earth. Seventeen percent believe the earth revolvews around the sun once a day -- Our workers are so ignorant and lack so many basic skills that american businesses spend$30 billion a year in remedial training. No wonder they relocate elsewhere! -- The World Health Organization ranked the countries of the world in terms of overall healthcare performance, and the US was 37th. In the fairness of healthcare, we're 54th. The irony is that the US spends more per capita for health care than any other nation in the world -- The US and South Africa are the only two developed countries in the world that do not provide healthcare for all their citizens. Excuse me, but since when is south Africa a developed nation? Anyway, that's the company we're keeping -- The leading cause of death for pregnant women in the US is murder -- Japan, China, Taiwan, and South Korea hold 40 percent of our government debt. (That's why we talk nice to them) By helping to keep mortgage rates from rising, China has been playing an important but little noticed role in sustaining the American housing boom. Read that twice. We owe our housing boom to China because they want us to keep buyibg all the stuff they manufacture -- As of last June, the US imported more food than it exported -- Americans are spending more money on gambling than than on movies, videos, DVDs, music, and books combined -- Nearly one out of four Americans believe that using violence to get what they want is acceptable behavior -- No.1? In most important categories we're not even in the top ten anymore. The USA is "No.1" in nothing but weaponry, consumer spending,debt, and delusion. http://www.citypages.com/databank/26/1264/article12985.asp Did you know that 1)80% of all votes in america are counted by only two companies? Diebold and ES&S 2)There is no federal regulatory authority or oversight of the U.S. voting machine industry 3)The vice president of Diebold and the president of ES&S are brothers 4)The chairman and CEO ofDiebold is a major Bush campaign organizer and donor who wrote in 2003 that he was "committed to helping Ohio deliver its electoral votes to the president next year 5)Republican senator Chuck Hagel used to be chairman of ES&S. He became senator based on votes counted by ES&S machines 6)Republican senator Chuck Hagel, long connected with the Bush family, was recently caught lying about his ownership of ES&S by the Senate Ethics Comitteee 7)...8)...9)Diebold's new touchscreen voting machines have no paper trail of any voting actions. In other words, there is no way to verify that the data coming out of the machines is the same as what was legitimately put in by the voters 10) Diebold also makes ATMs, checkout scanners, and ticket machines, all of which log each transaction and can generate a paper trail 11)All -not some- but all the voting machine errors detected and reported in Florida went in favor of Bush or republican candidates... It goes on and on. It makes you want to kill them. We should nuke D.C. and the Pentagon and any other major edifice or location of governmental control. Democracy is dead and has been for a long time, it is now what the corporations tell the governments what to do, at the behest of the international financial elite. THEY MUST BE EXTERMINATED! Fellow psychonauts, loveth to alleth in HoH, flapjack

Hi all, flap here. Just discovered some more interesting information brought to light by Brian Harring on the TBRNews.org site about the actual numbers of casualties and wounded thus far in Iraq. As far as casualties go, it's above ten thousand, probably in the range of twelve to fifteen thousand. Personally I think it's more like seventeen to twenty thousand. Wounded, the numbers are somewhere around twenty to thirty thousand. Read about the way that they conduct the enumeration of the dead and all the different ways the the numbers are manipulated by the various situations and circumstances surrounding time and location of bodies not yet dead. Fucking sick. this is the U.S. folks!. Our leaders lying through their teeth smiling while they're doing it. Killing eveybodys kids off, people who are foolish enough to trust these assholes with the lives of their sons and daughters. What does the news say now? Two thousand americans dead? Pfffft. I like this guy Harring and his site. Here is the adress for anyone who wants to check it out. Great alternative source of news. http://www.tbrnews.org/index.htm Alright yall, it's late and I'm gonna crash, much love to you all, flapjack

I so much agree with you. As soon as I'm done with this post I'm gonna read into the link you left.

What these recruters do, is that they prey on kids when they're still in school! They go out to the junior high and high schoos and tell the kids how wonderful their lives will be if they just join the army or whatever. Then, right about graduation time they really lay it on strong.

It's hard when a middle class type kid graduates and he doesn't really have a family business to follow or money for college, and I know these days it REALLY scarry for kids age 19-29 or so. It's just not the same when we were kids (me anyway) where you could go and get a decent paying job with benefits that you would have for your whole life until retirement. Now if you dont have some kind of college degree under your belt you mays as well just about forget any kind of good paying job enough to support a family. Not only that, once you get a job good luck on thinking you're going to have that same job until retirement.

So the army bribes these kids. Thats exactly what they do: bribe them. Offer them $15,000 join up money and free housing, food, insurance, whatever.

You should see how hard those 'recruit guys' work at getting people. They came to my house, took my kid out to eat a few times and just wouldn't stop until he signed in! I went with my kids to the recruit office to talk to one of these recruit men and make sure my kids didn't sign up. WELL, the way they talk you'd think we'd be the dumbest people on earth if the kids didn't join the army!

All I can say is I thank God my kid is home from Iraq. (I got 2 kids in the army reserve, against my better judgement they both joined one week before 9/11 happened, but only my son went to Iraq). Some parents aren't so lucky as me. One kid didn't make it home from Justin's unit.......very sad.

My daughter says trying to get the "free $$ for college" is like a job in itself. The army made her jump through so many hoops and she still hasn't got the college money. She ended up paying herself and the army is suppose to pay her back.

anyway, thanx for the info and links. I'm going to check them out now and if they're as interesting as what you post I know I will enjoy reading.

Hi suziblues, The military will soon be turned against the citizens of this country. There are approximately eight hundred empty prison labor camps that are guarded nevertheless waiting to be filled with all the dissidents that the NSA has covertly eavesdropped and suveilled. Remember, under the Patriot act, any crime can be cinstrued as terrorism and anyone can be oicked up and held incommunicado indefininitely for anything. We're in that number as dopefiends and sympathizers of/with dope fiends, therefore terrorists and dissenters. It's coming down. may the GREAT ALL give us strength, Flapjack
