Has National Security Really Made Us Safer?

Posted on Monday, April 30 at 10:12 by jensonj
Other larger but more primitive nations will attack us if they believe that we will not use atomic bombs, which they also have. The attacks will be in a disguised form: some from treasonous citizens, silent invasion, industrial copyright, patent and technology theft - and eventually military invasion if we resist peaceful invasion. We can avoid "total war" only if we demonstrate we are ready and willing to defend our country. This is not a liberal or conservative issue. If our nation and form of government is to survive our leaders must avoid little private wars and keep us prepared to win both and economic and military war without massive atomic destruction. How do we who are just trying to survive and care for our families have control over this process? Consider this: if we cast our votes for candidates based on these issues only will it make our nation secure? You know the answer. Such issues are carefully contrived to create conflict between individuals, political parties and racial groups. Of course, you are told that you must vote for one of these groups. Bull! http://www.ocala.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070429/OPINION/204290324/1368/googlesitemapnews [Proofreader's note: this article was edited for spelling and typos on April 30, 2007]

    From the article: "Our leaders have been less than 100 percent patriotic in
    preserving our nuclear secrets and technology. We are now aware that many,
    less civilized nations can now wage nuclear war. The more civilized nations
    will now do everything possible to prevent the use of atomic bombs in real
    war. This moves us back to World War II basic military standards of conflict,
    plus more sophisticated standard weapons."

    "Less civilized nations", a myth I truly am repulsed by everytime someone
    expands on it as something no one would find offensive and is just "fact".
    Rubbish! Who decides what civilized is anyway? For ONE example, Canada,
    France and the USofA's behaviour towards Aristide in Haiti was completly
    UNCIVILIZED thank you very much.

    It's hard to read on when such statements are made, because it only shows
    how brainwashed we all are to either make those statements without flinching
    or read them without doing the same. So, how many other statements are we
    making or reading that are the same kind of rubbish?

    "Has national security really made us safer?
    IN A WORD. NO! (capped for emphasis only)

    There is a name for this type of question that escapes me at the mo'

    Reactionary shit will not solve problems it will only ramp up the intensity.
    To ensure there is security the reasons for threats must be remove so the threats which in themselves are reaction have no cause to react
    Sheesh!
    ya woulda though that simple fact woulda been assimilated by now.

    OK I got as far as
    'this wonderful nation' before the gag reflex kicked in!

    "We are now aware that many, less civilized nations can now wage nuclear war."

    I would expect that in a measure of a nations civility, a very low score would be assigned to those nations whose people are intensely paranoid of other nations, have a supremacy complex, are perpetually fighting a "War on [insert bullshit here]", have leaders that are psychopathic liars, thieves, war criminals, and hypocrites, and have the worlds highest incarceration rate per capita.

    Yes, we are ever so envious, which is why we prefer to live in Canada, eh?

    You also forgot to mention that "Civilized Nations" do
    not have barbaric and inhumane laws like the death
    penalty. Today, if a nation is wealthy and has power, it
    can fake being "civilized".

    I was always under the assumption that a nation's civility was based on how well the citizens treated each other in their everyday activities.

    You know, simple things like looking out for your neighbour, saying "please" and "thank you".

    Things like maybe remaining patient when a new driver is getting use to the road instead of flipping them the bird for being slower than you'd like.

    Finding a wallet, and actually LEAVING the money in it before returning it.

    Things like not tossing your garbage out the window when you're on a road trip.

    You know, things that drive neo-con types absolutely batty.

    Then again, maybe I'm alone in the point of view.
