| Despite the noise that some patriotic gasbags habitually make, the
| truth of the matter is that Michael Moore has a hundred times more
| heart and intellect (light) than G.W. Bu$h. .
|
| The truth about the insane greed that is behind the top US politicians,
| when widely known, will set our asses free from corrupt politicians,
| their filthy wars, and all that prevents the human family from healing
| and flourishing, that prevents us from moving out of the present
| corporate dominated dysfunctional status and into the light of health
| and wholeness and all that that entails. The leading politicians of the
| future (and present in Venezuela) will know that their role is to serve
| the people - the greatest numbers of them, not the richest 10 or 20
| percent.

| Below is the George Orwell quote that Michael Moore used to end his
| last masterpiece -F-911. (the words in the [brackets] are my own to
| help people see what Orwell was talking about).
|
| "It's not a matter of whether the war is not real, or if it is, Victory
| [peace] is not possible. The war is not meant to be won, it is meant to
| be continuous [to keep the military industrial complex around forever,
| and to keep it extremely profitable for a few insanely greedy
| bastards]. Hierarchical society [where the rich get richer and the
| poor are pissed on] is only possible on the basis of poverty and
| ignorance... In principle, the war effort is always planned to keep
| [significant parts of] society on the brink of starvation - struggling
| & barely getting by - with many willing to put on a uniform & kill for
| the insanely greedy bastards in charge].
|
| The war is waged by the ruling group against its own subjects [who are
| intentionally kept poor and unware of the truth for reasons mentioned
| above]... The [war machine's] object is not victory... but to keep the
| very structure of [our deception & greed based, totalitarian bastard
| led] society [where the super rich grow fatter and fatter, while the
| people get pissed on] intact." George Orwell in 1984

|
| People who have accepted the US propaganda that says the US military
| protects our freedom, should know that: Maj. Gen. Smedley Butler
| (former Commandant, U.S. Marine Corps) had the courage to write:
|
| "I spent thirty-three years and four months in active service in the
| country's most agile military force, the Marines. I served in all ranks
| from second lieutenant to major general. And during that period I spent
| most of my time being a high-class muscle man for Big Business, for
| Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster
| for capitalism.
|
| "I suspected I was just part of a racket at the time. Now I am sure of
| it. Like all members
| of the military profession I never had an original thought until I left
| the service. My mental
| faculties remained in suspended animation while I obeyed the orders of
| the higher-ups. This is typical with everyone in the military service.
|
| "Thus I helped make Mexico, and especially Tampico, safe for American
| oil interests in 1914. "I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for
| the National City Bank boys to collect revenue in. I helped in the
| raping of half-a-dozen Central American republics for the benefit of
| Wall Street. The record of racketeering is long. I helped purify
| Nicaragua for the international banking house of Brown Brothers and Co.
| in 1909-1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for the sugar
| interests in 1916. I helped make Honduras 'right' for American fruit
| companies in 1903. In China in 1927 I helped see to it that Standard
| Oil went its way unmolested.
|
| "During those years, I had, as the boys in the back room would say, a
| swell racket. I was rewarded with honors, medals, and promotion.
| Looking back on it, I feel that I might have given Al Capone a few
| hints. The best he could do was to operate a racket in three city
| districts. The Marines operated on three continents."
