Did We Destroy America,People?
Posted by admin in British Gold Sovereign FAQ, tags: americapeople, destroyQuestion by crisis: did we destroy america,people?
the other day i had random thoughts while listening to the report that the UN security council ok'd foreign intervention in the sovereign state of libya.FLASHBACK to the civil war;the primary basis for the south's decision to secede was state's rights(or rights of the citizen) as opposed to the rights of the state/nation as a whole.i remember quite clearly as a student in elementary school that "our" founding fathers had a)petitioned King George as their head of government to alleviate their fiscal problems b)the king refused and imposed even more stringent conditions on the colonies c)the colonies exercised their "right to self government" and revolted. FAST FORWARD to the 1800's the concept of casting off the yoke off authority's oppression(ie self rule;revolution,etc)was cut down by the Union forces of the civil war...(at this point i considered the civil war a double standard on the part of the Federal government)(plus,my teacher reasoned,given historical reasoning the south would come rushing back to the Union because Mexico would seize an opportunity to regain land and glory and thus the Confederate States would plead for citizenship of its people/annexation of their land to avoid the grip of the Mexicans(remember they lacked the finances of Northern States,no money no war!)
Moving ahead we come to the Civil Rights era of the 20th century where we know there flagrant abuses of citizens by the government (Dr.Martin Luther King anyone?) and despite calls for change it took (as percieved by me) the death of Pres.Kennedy for us to shape up a bit and stop mistreatment of "our" citizens.Coming to our current timeline the middle east has in a very short period of time gone through the upheavals many predicted that would happen in California during the 80's and 90's.My questions are: 1)why did the Union deny the Confederacy their right to self rule,when the founding fathers fought for this?
2)the way minorities were treated in America back then,did it warrant UN intervention?(think of Iraq and compare)
3)would the US have accepted UN consensus?
4)my father said the constitution supercedes the UN in our country,but why isn't this so in other countries?(think of the no-fly zone,legality and right to impose rules on sovreign states)
5)i admit Ghaddafi is morally wrong but he is the government of his country,and can stop protests and the such that "threaten nstional security,can't he?
6)why should the world's problems be foisted on the "leader"?

First you have to realize that whoever controls the present controls the past. History is just the version of what went on that those currently in power want you to believe.
Or as Henry Ford said, "History is bunk."
The constitution of any country is superior to the U.N.
Governments only exist legitimately if other countries say they do. That not only means that Ghaddafi is no longer the legitimate leader of Lybia, but that all evil governments have the sanction of their neighbors, and their neighbors are controlled by economic interests.
I agree that we don't have to always do the U.N.'s dirty work, in fact they should be kicked out of NYC. Why not headquarter the U.N. someplace already under their control? How about Antarctica?

the UN includes 192 of 196 countries. it is the governing body for the world ! if it votes a no fly zone , then the country is guilty of random acts of aggression or humanity violations. how much worse would we be if we stood back and allowed genocide ? i agree that many things are messed up in this country. Kennedy didn’t stop any racial problems, he died too early that movement continued till the late 70s meanwhile affirmative action is still necessary to have a fair chance in the job market for minorities until today ! how many cam corded videos of police beating blacks do we need to watch, to realize there is still no equality, Libya might be the first righteous police action we have entered since WW2. the UN and democrats all voted against Iraq, president bush,took the decision upon himself ! Viet Nam and Korea were to stop the unchecked perpetuation of communism ! other than a few countries, it resolved itself without American military intervention ! but i am more concerned with the availability of guns in America. 200.000,000 personal guns, 30,000 gun deaths in America annually compared to the EU and Canada that are in the hundreds. guns are 10 times more likely to be used in homicides in America than other civilized countries, we kill more Americans in America annually than Afghanistan and Iraq combined since day one in the war ! poverty is increasing and the rift is growing between haves and have nots. if America had a war today, it would be a revolution about unfair distribution !the top 20% controls 85% of the wealth, the middle class 14.7 % leaving the bottom 40 % just .03 % to survive on ? don’t fall for the argument that they aren’t working ! they clean toilets, shovel manure, clean houses, care for children, fight battles,cook up fast food,and sell you clothing and incidentals all over America. these are jobs most Americans find distasteful to do themselves , but only pay minimum wage for. these are the issues that should worry you !
