G. W. ("Global World") Bush, President Of Africa?

By Doug Wrenn

April 29, 2008

Astounding! The United States currently has a $9.5 trillion (as John McCain might say, "That's 'trillion,' with a 't!'") debt. We still do not have a national missile defense system. We have a still uncompleted fence on our porous border with Mexico that is more of a speed bump than a barrier. The I-35 westbound bridge collapsed into the Mississippi River in Minnesota recently because of years of neglect, neglect that ultimately took the lives of innocent, decent Americans who's only crime was being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Time and space prohibit me from completing this seemingly infinite list of unfulfilled duties of our floundering federal government. Juxtaposed against that apathetic ineptitude, President Bush has an "initiative" that is doling out $15 million to Africa to (supposedly) stop AIDS, and now, another "initiative" to dole out $1.2 billion (with a "b") to Africa to combat malaria. Currently, the Heritage Foundation has an "initiative" that I highly endorse of mailing a free copy of the US Constitution to anyone requesting one. Our geographically challenged President would be well advised to also act on that initiative. At least that one would be free of cost, and at the same time, for once directly benefit the citizenry that actually elected him for a change.

The Constitution Party, the nation's third largest political party, claims that it is now enjoying expansive growth of exasperated voters switching affiliation to its ranks. It is of little wonder, considering that there is barely a thimble's worth of difference any longer between the Democrat and Republican Parties. The powerful globalist forces acting behind the scenes, such as the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) and the Tri-lateral Commission are now thoroughly entrenched in both bought and paid for major political parties, the press and media, several major corporations, and even our justice system and our military. The membership roster of these organizations is a virtual who's who of recognizable movers and shakers in the US from both the public and private sectors. Many of those not belonging to these organizations are still under their suffocating influence. Institutions such as the League of Nations, the UN, NATO, the World Bank, etc.., were never formed for peace or international prosperity as sold to us, but for the power of a one world order by a few evil and greedy globalist and international bankers with a history within their organizations of paying lip service to capitalism while leaning a sympathetic ear to communism, a flagrant oxymoron in theory that has and continues to exist in practice nevertheless.

In recent years and decades, the increasing expansion of globalism and the voluntary surrender of US sovereignty throughout several presidential administrations and sessions of Congress has been a testament to the silent power wielded by these organizations. The US has become a puppet state over time. This sordid and dire situation has more rapidly grown in this past administration, with increased trade deficits, the devaluation of our dollar, more "fast-tracked" trade policies intended to ignore legislative procedures, the attempted intervention of other countries into running our trade operations, and surrendering our sovereign coastal mining and navigation rights, the advancement of the North American Union, despite outright lies and denials, and last but not least, foreign aid. It is these organizations that espouse and support the Marxist theories of control via Draconian taxation and a central bank. Our too-often excused away oppressive tax structure and its ever-consuming burden on us aside, does the term, "Federal Reserve" ring any bells?

President Bush has explained away this gross mismanagement of federal revenue by falling back on his Christian faith, and saying that the US is blessed and that we should share our wealth. First of all, I stayed up late on Election Night in both 2000 and 2004, watching the results, and I don't recall hearing or seeing any vote tallies coming in from Africa. The people of the United States elected this president, for better, or for worse. It's about high time that he remembered that pesky little fact, and maybe it's about time that we recall it and remind him of it as well. Secondly, charity indeed, is a virtue, but common sense dictates that charity begins at home, as the old adage advises. Something is seriously afoul with a country that seeks to give $200 billion to Mexico to improve its infrastructure, while our bridges are collapsing into our rivers, and taking our innocent and vulnerable fellow citizens to the murky bottoms with them. It is furthermore insidious that a country with the compromised ability to protect and defend itself by playing policeman to the world is dishing out money on a silver platter to other nations to cure illnesses, including sexually transmitted diseases that are predominantly brought on by hedonistic and errant human behavior, such as AIDS, curable by abstinence outside the boundaries of monogamous marriage between man and woman. Yes, charity is virtuous, but decency is cheaper, and nobody wants tough love, just free dollars, and Uncle Sam is the big soft, gushy banker, doling them out, willy-nilly.

Our Constitution makes no mention of the socialist panacea of nationalized healthcare, yet our multi-billion dollar unfunded mandates in Medicare that will enslave and crush future generations, are considered, like our failing, abused and obsolete Social Security system, "non-discretionary spending" by our Congress, AKA: "Earmark Central." The primary function of government is to protect and defend the people from interior and exterior adversaries who wish us harm, yet our thinly-stretched military would be hard-pressed to adequately secure tiny Rhode Island right now, if it were to be invaded or given to insurrection.

If our Constitution does not sanction federalized healthcare, how then, in any form of good conscience, can we fund it for other nations, especially given our drastically strained resources here at home? Government-run healthcare in itself is a failure anyway, as plainly and painfully visible in some of our pathetically appalling Veterans Administration hospitals. In countries with universal healthcare, those who can afford private health care choose it, while others wait and languish in pain for months for clinical tests, treatments and procedures that we consider routine, and in some cases, even urgent. As the saying goes, "If you think healthcare is expensive now, wait until it's free." It is absurd that the US now borrows money from other countries we once loaned to, and in the long run, to turn around and then give money to other countries. Now, with this Ethanol farce, as food costs skyrocket and shortages and famine spreads as rapidly as food riots around the globe, we are using more of our food supply to ineffectively burn in our fuel tanks. Meanwhile, we now import more and export less. We are laying our national sovereignty, security and financial security down at the false altar of globalism and patting ourselves on the backs for this self-destructive folly for our misguided and baseless international charity. Good works devoid of and not guided by forethought and common sense are still acts of stupidity and possibly self-induced harm.

I am not hard of heart, but I am not soft of brain, either. I agree with author and commentator, P.J. O'Rourke, who once said in an interview that no person has a right to expect charity, yet every person has an individual duty to support charity. Charity, however, is the duty of the individual, not a government. The folklore hero, Robin Hood was deemed charitable, too, but he was still a thief. This socialist concept of wealth redistribution by taking other people's money to give to an unintended recipient, no matter how worthy the need may otherwise be, is still ethically and morally wrong. At the very least, it is a misappropriation of funds. At the very worst, it is simply embezzlement, and that act has been dubbed a crime for sound reason.

The American people never gave consent to give such large sums to foreign nations. No referendum was ever held, and the question was never even asked. Theoretically, in our representative republic, we give consent or dissent of our elected officials themselves, but not their policies directly, in the voting booth on Election Day. In more extreme cases, we petition our Legislative Branch to conduct impeachment hearings. But alas, such time consuming tasks are deemed far too arduous and distracting to the common populous more obsessed with such far more weighty matters such as their favorite sports team or the upcoming episode of "American Idol." Indeed, a free government is demanding, which is also why the liberties harvested from it are so inherently and perilously fleeting. And ours are slipping between our fingers in stealth mode, and at mock speed, with little more than a raised eyebrow at best offered as a reaction. Undoubtedly, more truly faithful Americans who gave their all for a once better cause in places like Bunker Hill, Trenton, Valley Forge, and Yorktown, just to name a few, are now rolling in their once hallowed graves with anguish and lament for their gallant sacrifice, so easily now forgotten, if not cavalierly dismissed by many in a supposedly now more "progressive" era.

It has been repeatedly said that money makes the world go around. True, but when systematically and incessantly abused, it can also make that world stop on a dime, too. George Washington warned us about foreign entanglements. Most historians believe he referred to military endeavors. But reading between the lines through the prism of our present day, I can't help but wonder if he also meant by the mismanagement of our limited revenue. While our government can continue to tax us to fill the increasing gaps it wantonly creates, at the end of the day, there will be no more water to spew from the faucet and the trough will go empty. Then what? History has already answered that question for us. Like free peoples and free governments that have come and gone before us, the common formula for their demise seemed to be the substitution of hedonistic depravity for societal taboos and morality, and the outspending of themselves via legislation, once they realized they had the power to do it, and once they became enamored by and simultaneously enslaved to the enveloping addictive and unquenchable thirst that later came from it.

Meanwhile, as other world powers grow around us, we sink ever lower into our own self-create demise, by falsely considering China a trade partner, as she continues to build her military on our dime to eventually destroy us, if she doesn't use our financial debt as a weapon against us first. Our naïve Chief Executive, clearly out of his league from day one, once spoke warmly lovingly of the eyes and alleged soul former KGB agent who now diabolically kills dissenters and silences journalists and now collaborates with China and Iran against us. Even with our friends our policies are bizarre, if not suspicious. We hand over our nuclear technology to India for a shipment of mangoes and then shake hands on the deal as if it were a tough negotiation and a job well done. We continue to offer our infinite protection to Israel, which is now more than quite capable of protecting herself as long as we stop impeding her will and attempts to do so, and we arrogantly continue to hover our pushy protection like a neurotic mother hen over an ungrateful and arrogant South Korea, which has given us mixed messages at best of her questionable gratitude and loyalty to us.

And then we dote over Africa's problems with malaria and AIDS and bang a drum about doing it like we have achieved some unique greatness to problems that will never end as long as the money spigot keeps flowing, and in a foreign land, no less.

Genuinely patriotic organizations like the Constitution Party can continue to grow, but the amateur new kid on the block to effective political campaigning still very conspicuously has much to learn before it can ever hope to be a real player. The rest of the battle against such patriots is a pre-rigged game of obstruction, effectively implemented by the collusion of the apparent conglomeration of the Democrat and Republican Parties. And again, in this election year, we have one candidate married to a CFR member, who besides being an infamous liar and corrupt conniver, has already flip-flopped several times on illegal immigration issues and NAFTA. Another candidate, bereft of any substantive resume beyond his Hollywood-like charisma, has tough talk to offer on such anti-American international trade deals that have already cost us more than we have gained, yet he still offers Canada, a future, NAU partner backdoor reassurances with a wink and a nod while he continues to preach "change" to his multitudes of clueless, lemming followers, only some of who now, are starting to wake up to who and what this phony, double-talking empty suit really is. And last but not least, we have a former POW, who was once a patriotic American hero, as once was Benedict Arnold, but he still belongs to the CFR, twice tried to force illegal immigration amnesty down our throats, despite the grassroots, majority driven backlash against it, and he has also championed the great American give-away of our coastal waters, which by design would also gravely impede the defense operations of our own Navy that he once belonged to, and all via a trade treaty appropriately called "LOST" (Law Of the Seas Treaty). Oh, yeah, and this scheming, anti-American, globalist charlatan, wrapped in the same American flag that he now so subtly and coyly desecrates behind that cheap, phony, plaster on, used car salesman grin of his, also rides a bus that he dares to call, "The Straight Talk Express."

The American people never caused this mess, but we allowed it. The American dream is fast becoming the American nightmare, a looming, indelible and pervasive globalist shadow, defiant of our Constitution, and loathing of our liberty, clouded by warm and fuzzy buzzwords and deliberately deceptive euphemisms like "humanitarian aid" and "free trade," and we, the great unwashed, who in many cases, don't know or even care of the name of our own Congressional Representative, buy it all and swallow it like tripe. The gates have been opened. Behold: The Trojan Horse! The belly should be opening with its deadly contents any time soon.

Benjamin Franklin once daringly told a woman at the close of the Constitutional Convention that he and his colleagues had given her a republic, if she could keep it. Thomas Jefferson admonished us that "Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty." Now is the time that we put our cards on the table, and make the rubber meet the road. Now is when we find out how correct Jefferson was, while Franklin's daunting challenge still gnaws away at the dark depths of our minds, at least, for those of us who are still paying attention.

Meanwhile, the sports page will still be printed tomorrow, and "American Idol" will be on again next week, and the players of our national stage will continue to read from their scripts with a sinister wink and a nod, as we are contented to falsely believe that we are still in control and this year is actually different from previous ones. . And unless the people, who form this government of, for, and by the people, soon regain control of the reins of this speeding carriage gone awry, the great shining city on a hill once cited by Ronald Reagan will soon diminish to a feint flicker, and then eventually be plunged into total darkness. We are, after all, kind of like that unknowing frog, contently sitting in the pan of cool water atop a stove, unaware of his fate, and sporting that same goofy, clueless grin as the heat of the burner underneath is turned up, but only ever so gradually, but steadily.

And sadly, in the end, many Americans, like the eventually slow-boiled frog, still won't know how or why.

I fondly recall Michael Keaton in the movie, "The Paper," enraged and screaming into the telephone of pompous prospective employer of a larger newspaper that bragged of "covering the world." Keaton exclaimed, "I don't live in the (expletive deleted) world! I live in (expletive deleted) NEW YORK (expletive deleted) CITY!" Where, oh where has that spirit gone, or for that matter, its awareness?

The late and famous Democrat Speaker of the House of Representatives, Thomas "Tip" O'Neill, once supposedly quipped that all politics is local. So is patriotism, if we, as a nation, are to survive in this pending and lurking globalist scourge, called "The New World Order." And make no mistake about it, government subsidized so-called "charity," AKA: "international," or "foreign aid," no matter how benevolent it may appear on the surface level, is not a fruit of that evil, but rather, an integral and similarly gradual and steady facilitator of it.
