WE GAVE A WAR AND NOBODY CAME

Our coup against the elected leader of Ukraine and the installation of a Nazi type regime with the intent of suckering Russia into WW3 has fallen flat on it's ass.  One by one nations of the EU are opting out of the sanctions we placed on Russia in an attempt to bankrupt their economy mainly because they can't stand the loss of income in their countries.  Not many are saying out loud but you know they are thinking "No not another land war in Europe"  they still remember the last one.

The story on the 4th media site  points to the folks of the EU being dead set against our plans.  The rise of extreme groups through out the EU have them worried they have seen these jackboot thugs before and have memorials built to keep their atrocities in focus.  The neo nazis we put in power in the Ukraine are exactly what they fear, no sooner were those goons in power , they started killings door to door.  The rise of like groups through out Europe have brought the opposition to the front.  When France, Germany and others force the US to back down on equipping the Ukraine with upgraded weapons.  Stopping at least for now our plans.

We are being led either by the uniformed or stupid leaders who have total  misread Putin and Russia which they believed could be suckered into ww3.  Putin read the writing on the wall and blocked Americas game, changing the game from checkers to chess.  The game we set in motion was soon seen by all as just a ruse to keep Russia from blocking our Tip to Asia, not only did not do that it put Putin into action .  He set up a totally new financial system, signed contracts for oil and gas with China, Egypt and formed a trading alliance now know as BRIC, formed a new bank to finance the needs of member governments , subverting IMF and World bank hegemony from handing said countries to the private sector.

On top of all this Obama has just declared Venezuela   a National Security Risk could it be because our recent coup failed as all others have failed.  The people of Venezuela know they are better off with a socialist government then they were under corporate control.

It seems like the rest of the world may be tired of war, but not our neocons and perhaps we the people too.  We sit on our hands and watch these totally stupid people walk us into one war after the other and we say nothing.

I think it is about time for us to uniformly jump up and sceam"ENOUGH OF THE BULLSHIT"

NATO ON REGIME CHANGE IN RUSSIA

A THREAT OF NUCLEAR WAR

MAYBE FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION BUT A REQUIREMENT

The heading was lifted from this post on 4th Media.  It struck a resonance in my tiny little brain which of late has been worrying on how this countries leadership , civilian and military seem to not be able to get much right.

The US in hits drive to be the only dog on the block has screwed up every war they have cooked up.  From Viet Nam to Iraq to Afghanistan , Liba, Syria.  Those they have destroyed by wars are added to others where we have been involved  in the overthrow of governments that don't knuckle under to Uncle Sam's wishes.  Most recent of which was another intended coup in Venezuela (I've lost count what number this is), but all have not succeeded. The goal is to open up Latin America to our giant corporations who then are allowed to rape and pillage the country.  When a strong leader takes the reins and Nationalizes the industries using the profits to improve the living standards of the masses , we then start the campaigns to overthrow them.  Venezuela is a prime and most recent example in Latin America.  Chavez was elected by the people and began a campaign of nationalizing industries , particularly big oil.  The proceeds went to the poor and a middle class started to be built.  Deals with Cuba incensed America, but all it could do was rant and rave and try to throw the rascals out.  Cuba in exchange for oil sent doctors, and other professionals to help in Venezuela.  

It is ironic that in about the same day Obama stated he was lifting the embargoes on Cuba , because they didn't work.  Turned right around an put embargoes on Russia for their supposed interference in Ukraine.  Makes sense to me no they don't but yes they do.  Kinda like a new slogan for America.  

On to our latest false flag operation, Ukraine.  We engineered the overthrow of the government of Ukraine and installed our new Nazi friends to rape and pillage and already poor and troubled country.  The idea to paint Russia as the bad guys to  remove them as an obstacle to our Tip To Asia.  But as has become a sure thing our attempts of surrounding Russia with missiles and take away their only war water port in Crimea   has failed.

Not only has the false flag operation failed , our implanted regime has had their collected asses kicked.  Russia understanding what we were trying to do set out on it's own to craft deals with Brazil , India  , China.  Deals which look to stabilize that side of the world against American hegemony.  At the same time set up a new economic system to thwart the IMF and World Bank from raping third world countries. Now instead of the IMF loading up third world countries with debt and forcing them to privatize their enterprises they now can borrow to improve their countries.

Keeping in mind the failed wars mentioned above we now appear to be looking for a new much bigger war to loose and perhaps loose the world in the process. The drums of war are pounding once again with our glorious leaders actually believing they can pull off a first strike nuclear war.  You do understand dear readers that , that idea is total bullshit. Even if Russia was surrounded by antimissile systems they won't take care of Russian missile boats sitting right off our coasts to even the score and destroying the world to boot.        

I worry that the American people won't see thru the propaganda and allow us to enter another winnable war.  Trust we there will be no winners in a nuclear war.  So please wake up folks and see thru the propaganda program to make Russia the bad guys for us to fight.  It's time to pull in our horns and work to make the planet a better place.

4000 to 1

BIBI needs to do the math and we need to use a little  common sense.  If Iran did develop a bomb and perhaps a intercontinental missile would he have the lack of common sense to launch against the US or Israel, I don't think they would want to bring the destruction of Iran to watch just one of their bomb blow.

The danger here is that a nervous Israel strikes out on their own to destroy Iran.  What then would we do?  I for one say you started it I hope you can finish what you start , but were not going to play.

TV IS CHANGING AND NOT FOR THE BETTER

The networks gave up years ago and now the cable folks are wondering why their ratings are going in the tank.  Of course their solution is to speed up the shows and more heavily edit a shoe to allow them to sneak in a few more commercials.   I guess they don't know we already fast forward thru most of them although I will admit to watching a few that touch my funny bone.  That damn goat in the peanut butter factory for one.

We have been commenting on something being different in the shows we usually watch knowing that something was going on , so now we know.  Great shows like the Vikings is being chopped up so badly this year that it is hard to watch.

Netflix and Amazon and other streaming services are cutting into the purse strings of the networks and the cable guys.  My satellite bill is over 200 a month and I still have to subscribe to Netflix and Amazon to find something to watch.  The MSM  part of tv is getting progressively worse year by year and editing and adding more commercials is not going to help them at all..

WAR WITHOUT END. AMEN

This is the prayer of all but one of the republican presidential hopefuls.  Only Rand Paul standing lone is not for putting American boots on the ground.  The other have a very long list of people and places they want to blow off the map..Starting with ISIS, they quickly move on to Iran, Syria, South Africa and of course the big war of all Russia.

The beat of the war drums is so loud in the republican camp it is drowning out any voices of reason in the political arena.  Looking at their war of first choice ISIS mounting a war against them is playing right into their game plan.  They want an end of the world to play out in Syria , us against them.

We are told there are only 20000 or so of these ISIS folks but a look at the territory they control would indicate a much bigger force.  Exactly where one would mount an attack against them is left unclear.  Just who in the hell we could even trust in the middle east is a big question mark.  We left so many bodies and ruins in Iraq and Afghanistan and you can probably throw in Pakistan that  we could end up fighting all hands.

I will add at this point the leading democratic candidate Hillary Clinton talks the same talk as the republicans.  One can only hope that some level headed folks will step forth to give us a sane choice for a president.  But politically that's only a small part of the battle.  A war mongering congress hell bent to sacrifice more American youth to the horrors of war only a complete flushing of the old guard would prevent another loss of American lives, along with several millions others.

I leave you today with just one thought.  Keep your eyes and wallets open for a real anti-war candidate to pop up and if one does do all you can to further our cause.  Any candidate that shows a pro war flag, dump them immediately and continue your search.  If you don't find one , your on your own.  For the first time in  my life I will consider leaving the presidential spot blank.  I will not vote for a pro war candidate , period.  I hope not to be fooled again by another candidate who says one thing and then does the opposite.  

LOOSE CANNONS

 CANNONS TO THE RIGHT OF ME , CANNONS TO THE LEFT OF ME

The number of loose cannons roaming the world looking for someone to fight is truly amazing.  Nowhere in my 78 years have I seen so many nations and tribes looking  to kill an enemy , any enemy.  All over Africa the middle east and the Ukraine bloodshed by the buckets is flowing.

Meantime back on the ranch, the good ole US instigated the mess that is now the Ukraine, trying as they may to blame it on Russia.  I think that is the scariest part of the Ukraine thing is how inept we are at staging games to blame on somebody else.  All most from the git go it became obvious that Russia did not start this mess.  By backing the overthrow of an elected official and placing a neo nazi scumbag in as president , who immediately sent storm troopers into the street to kill those in opposition, going door to door in some cases and shooting the inhabitants dead in the street.

Then of course there was MH17 shoot down, we claimed was done by Russian forces or at best by rebels.  Just days after the crash hard evidence became available proving it was Ukraine fighter jets that had done the deed.

The Ukraine thing has both sides talking Nuclear War.  The US talking about a first strike and the Russians promising a retaliatory strike in response.  These strikes would most certainly bring about the end of the world.

We are not done in Ukraine yet as THIS FILM SHOWS 6 minutes of heavy equipment rolling within a mile of Russian borders..  The US and the Nato are both banging the drums of war.  Will it never end.

While Ukraine was the headline grabbing story we were once again staging a coup in Venezuela.  Another attempt as many previous attempts to throw out a socialist government that has been very good for the poorer citizens .  The prospective new leader promised to privatize all the had been nationalized since Chavez  started what has turned out to be very popular for the downtrodden masses who had nothing till Chavez came to power.  Once again our neat little coup fell flat on it's ass. HERE is the 20 year efforts to return Venezuela  to a obedient servant to the US.

Our war mongering has left the entire Middle East thorn to sheds from Iraq to Afghanistan  to Libya  to Lebanon.  Our invasions have left those countries vulnerable to the rise of ISIS who's main goal in to goad us into a land war to be staged in Syria to bring about the ends of time.  So I guess you could call this a suicide mission. Their goals are spelled out in this great article in the Atlantic .  There is a good interview on FOX by Shepherd Smith explaining their goals.

Meantime back in the good ole US the hawks are circling once again demanding that we give ISIS what they want , another ground war in the ME..Both sides of the aisle are clamoring for boots on the ground to tame ISIS.  The republican side is so intent on going to war that the Koch brothers are funding a drive to stop Rand Paul (the only republican against boots on the ground) who will probably be successful in stopping Rand.

If that weren't enough Israel is negotiating with the Saudi's to enable them to use Saudi air space to attack Iran. Israel is bound and determined to bomb Iran to stop them from getting a bomb, a bomb everybody that is somebody says they are not pursing a bomb.  Israels own intelligence says they are not looking to build a bomb.

Obama has asked congress to approve Authorization for the Use of Military Force ,if approved it will not essentially limit boots on the ground for an enduring battle.  A battle which with current knowledge of ISIS makes it difficult to figure where to start. They are spread out over three countries and have active presence in many more.  I for one am not willing to spend more American lives and trillions of dollars to rescue countries that do noting to keep ISIS in check. This is there fight , let them make it.  Bring all American presence out of the combat zones and allow nature to take it's course. 

It's time to put on the shelf the task of being a world hegemony and quit interfering with the will of the citizens of those countries.  Just because they don't view the US as there taskmaster doesn't give us the right to mount campaigns to overthrow their elected leaders.  It's time to repair the fences right here in America.  There are enough projects on hand to keep us busy for decades. Let's get to it.

  

Everything they touch they screw up

A recent change in the dispensing  Class 2 drugs requires a visit to your doctor every 30 days.  THIS STORY depicting the plight of veterans trying to get a script for pain killers.  Adding more pain killers to a Class 2 drug , a drug they absolutely need on time.  The wait for an appointment if this story is 5 to 6 weeks which means if he was out when he asked for his usual amount this new rule slapped him in the face.  So he went for weeks without medication and a painful withdrawal.  How thoughtful the PTB are, they  they had a problem as was demonstrated earlier this year .  Obviously they have not had to watch anyone going though one they would not have put this class drug on the Class 2 list.

We have the same problem out here in Civlant .  Getting a appointment with our GP takes at least the 6 weeks as above.  Using the 6 week  to appointment means you have to schedule at your appointment still gives you two weeks with no drugs. 

There is a simple fix, allow the doctors  to write 3 scripts and schedule another appointment with a comfortable margin for the patient.  Pharmacies keep strict control on Class 2 drugs which the only dispense 30 days at a time.
