A Planet Full of Hitlers
The world's billionaires, led by the Bush "madministration," are acting like a planet of full of Hitlers. They are willing to invade whatever region in the world has what the world needs most -- oil.
Black gold. Texas tea. Petrodollars.
They figure they have all the money. And basically, apart from a Soros here and a Gates there, they do.
And thus, the worlds billionaires and their hounds of the BFEE want to spend it all before they die. And they have the plan and cash on hand to do so.
Consider the Bush agenda: All War. All the Time. Government spending for the MI-Complex, transferring trillions to the wealthy corporate owners, war and all.
These are the likes of the industrialists Mussolini, Franco and Hitler so loved.
And like the fascist trifecta, the American fascists of the BFEE have bought all the political power. Don't just think Tom Roach Motel DeLay and Mr. Friskie Frist. Remember Prescott Bush and Averell Harriman and Allen Dulles and Rheinhard Gehlen and Igor Orlov.
What can we do about it? Theyve bought all the legal power, built law schools for Federalist Society AND Opus Dei judges. Think Bill Eagle Eye Rehnquist and Antonin Fat Tony Scalia.
These turds of the BFEE have worked all the tax breaks and bankrupty laws for the rich. Uncle Sam reverse-Robin Hoods wealth to the top 1-percent of country.
And what do these rich turds who prop up Bush use their tax savings on? They certainly haven't invested it in making America a better place to work or live; they've invested in "off-shoring."
Lots of the tax money goes to buy more vacation homes, yachts and jet planes. Most goes offshore to the Caymans and Switzerland.
And of course they want more without having to pay for the damage to the environment. Farmland depletion in the USA. Rain forest depletion around the globe. Oceans getting acidic. Fish stock depletion. Global air pollution and water shortages.
Well. OK. Maybe a case can be made its the rich folks money. They can do what they want. But they should pay their fair share of taxes! After all, the rest of society helps keep them in their position. And its our brothers and sisters in the armed forces who are giving their lives to keep their oil and power and privilege.
Budget red ink means no money for middle class. No money for schools. No money for cities and suburbs and farms. No money for roads. No money for science and R and D. No money for the future.
And the media? What media? What Fairness Doctrine?
They cover up their materialism and venality with all the talk about Faith-based this and Conservative-values that. But the reality is these are sinister wolves and satanic bed-wetting bastards in sheep's clothing we are dealing with.
Wasnt that what Bush really meant when he told Bob Woodward History? Who cares about history? In a hundred years well all be dead.
Just like Hitler. And just like Hitler, Bush wants to take us all with him.

The wealthy, for the large part, have let the last two decades pass without raising a finger to use their loot to help humanity. Their shame. Our loss.
Thank you for caring, Think. Again.
