America on Edge of the Abyss, A step away from disaster
Mark Lowry
February 11, 2007
Many people use the phrase “edge of the abyss” to describe some pending horror they anticipate will occur unless immediate action is taken to step back from the edge. Most that use the phrase have no practical life experiences to relate to tragedy that waits at the edge. It must be similar to someone discussing pains of child birth without ever giving birth.
Reality is this edge is more than can be imagined by those who have led a life of relative safety in a fog of perceived invincibility or immortality with no real concept of death or man’s inhumanity to man. “I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, more vengeance, more desolation. Some of these young men think that war is all glory but let me say war is all hell: William Tecumseh Sherman.
People who have faced horrors of war know what it means to live on edge of the abyss and fall into bowls of hell and torment unknown by civilized society. They know what it feels like to hear bullets passing by their heads sounding like bees but at a much faster speed. They have known what it means to confront pending inevitable death without reprieve or escape no matter how hard you try.
They can relate experience of seeing friends blown to pieces too small to pick up for burial, or those who laid silent with no visible wounds, but dead all the same. They know the terrible sense of fear and knowledge there is no flight from the horrors. They fall into fitful sleep nightly, never a deep slumber, and awaken to a sense of peace and welfare for only a nanosecond then the harsh reality of their hellish existence hits them.
A knot in the stomach, deep depression and finally acceptance of ones fate are ultimate conclusions all reach, at least those who do not lose their sanity. None are normal (as they were before) ever again. Each person who survives real horrors of war and certainty of impending death carry mental scars of that ordeal for their lifetime.
People, who have faced death from other sources like Jews being exterminated in Nazi Germany, know confines of the Abyss. Terminal disease patients given knowledge of their impending death can relate the view from the edge. Those on death row with no more appeals, or victims of merciless killers excited by the pain of others as they die and victims of sadistic covert military interrogation torture chambers all know the view from the edge. Individuals dragged from their homes by secret police in middle of the night; know what waits on the other side of the edge.
Those who have not experienced similar traumas only encountered on the edge can merely imagine what it may be like when one defines America’s current status and civilization as being on the edge of the abyss. We are at a point of imminent destruction and maximum danger as a nation, society and world.
We stand where the citizens of Italy, Germany and Japan stood in after 1930. They saw what we see. They did nothing to step back. “The president has adopted a policy of 'anticipatory self-defense' that is alarmingly similar to the policy imperial Japan employed at Pearl Harbor, on a date which, as an earlier American president said it would, lives in infamy. Franklin D. Roosevelt was right, but today it is we Americans who live in infamy”: Arthur Schlesinger.
We are no longer a unified society as we suffer under onslaught of planned mass illegal immigration. Our elected leaders secretively and now openly decide government policy based on entreaties of foreign powers ignoring our petitions.
September 29, 1992 – At a town hall meeting in Los Angeles, Trilateralist and former CFR president Winston Lord delivers a speech titled Changing Our Ways: America and the New World, in which he remarks: "To a certain extent, we are going to have to yield some of our sovereignty, which will be controversial at home… [Under] the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA)… some Americans are going to be hurt as low-wage jobs are taken away." Lord became an Assistant Secretary of State in the Clinton administration.
Mexico just sent a congressional delegation to lobby our congress for liberalized immigration policies that permit amnesty for existing illegal aliens. The U.S Hispanic caucus seems responsive to those pleas and about to vote their wishes.
When elected officials do that, they betray their nation and should be removed from office. We as American citizens should never tolerate foreign interference in domestic affairs for any reason, no more than any other free nation state should accept our interference in their domestic affairs.
This has occurred several times now. Vicente Fox met with the powers he thought important, Bill Gates and Governor Schwarzenegger to influence their acceptance of illegal immigration. We can not as a nation permit that interference without protest and we have no leaders who will even provide a whimper much less a protest.
We have foreign gangs and Muslim terrorists invading our open borders and establishing a strong organized fifth column in our nation to assure the final take over of America will be violent if need be. Killer’s rape and murder innocents without compassion and target American citizens as victims of their hatred.
Our military is a dominant force in the world as it should be for all of the money spent on it. However it has an Achilles heel, which is never recognized. American political greed for more wealth and power through international corporation investment in other markets included greed of selling military secrets for a profit to potential and now real enemies of the United States. We face the unfortunate situation of needing to buy military supplies from our enemies so we can defeat them. Tools of war we sold for greed are now used to kill American soldiers.
Another Achilles heel is the massive need for petroleum products to lubricate and fuel the high tech military machine. That is becoming more and more difficult as Red China and other totalitarian regimes recognize importance of oil for their economic expansion and military forces.
Without oil, ability to engage enemies in conventional warfare may not be an option. That outlook leaves us with a doomsday scenario most of us no longer consider relative since the “end of the cold war.” It is a prospect we must all recognize lies in wait for us beyond that edge of the abyss. Nuclear proliferation, especially into the hands of radical extremists, that prefer death and martyrdom is a real threat to world survival.
All of this is occurring while greedy bastards continue to define our government policy to establish one world order under power of voracious Capitalist Elite International Corporations. They don’t care what form of governance they control as long as they control it.
October 29, 1991 – David Funderburk, former U. S. Ambassador to Romania, tells a North Carolina audience: "George Bush has been surrounding himself with people who believe in one-world government. They believe that the Soviet system and the American system are converging." The vehicle to bring this about, is the United Nations, "the majority of whose 166 member states are socialist, atheist, and anti-American."
They must now convince us, the American public, their control is preferable to representative democracy. They can blame the terrible condition we have let the country get into under self rule on an incapable citizenry instead of corrupt leadership.
1975-Kissinger on the Couch published. Authors Phyllis Schlafly and former CFR member Chester Ward state: “Once the ruling members of the CFR have decided the U.S. government should espouse a particular policy, very substantial research facilities of the CFR are put to work to develop arguments, intellectual and emotional, to support the new policy and to confound, discredit, intellectually and politically, any opposition… "
"History of mankind is a history of subjugation and exploitation of a great majority of people by an elite few by what has been appropriately termed the 'ruling class'. The ruling class has many manifestations. It can take form of, in the case of the United States, corporate statism. In each instance the ruling class relies on academics, scholars and 'experts' to legitimize and provide moral authority for its hegemony over the masses." Ed Crane
There are options for us to take a small step from edge of the precipice to hell on earth. We can demand existing legislators take immediate steps to reverse the process corporate elite have by stealth imposed upon our republic.
Minimally, American elected leaders can determine why we are fighting in Iraq and on what intelligence we were lead to believe we must fight there. Bush should suffer impeachment for his role in deceiving America. Appoint a team of special prosecutors to investigate the Whitehouse and any others who may be involved in conspiracy to subjugate American Sovereignty to Corporate Elite control and their involvement in following areas to be investigated with immediate action to be taken:
Wrongful prosecution of border guards Ramos and Compean for crimes known to not have occurred. Have those responsible criminally charged with applicable criminal law from: giving false testimony to congress, hate crimes against Ramos and Compean, criminal conspiracy to provide leniency to drug dealers or whatever laws you find appropriate under the circumstances.
Lack of enforcement of Federal immigration laws and White House complicity in open borders policies permitting illegal alien invasion including drug, terrorists and gang members. Close the borders now, with military personnel transferred from Europe. Give them full authority to engage and detain in accordance with the same terrorist authority the president claims.
Lack of an orderly interior enforcement of illegal immigration and why there isn’t an orderly program of attrition to remove current illegal aliens. Require immediate prosecution of all employers employing illegal aliens.
Secret government by stealth designed to overthrow the government as a Sovereign Nation State with massive illegal immigration financed by the federal government. Determine those involve and enforce the law.
Improper use of fast track authority to undermine American judicial authority and demand congressional review of the current negotiations with Korea. Eliminate the fast track authority as being unconstitutional and all treaties signed under that designation without legislative review are now null and void.
Elimination of existing international treaties or trade agreements that subjugate American judicial authority must be rescinded. The investigation should determine those responsible for the treason and appropriate action taken.
All negotiations for Social Security Totalization Agreements, SSP and the NAU must be stopped immediately, with full investigations of what has been done so far and who is responsible. Define all violations of law and constitutional provisions and declare any agreements entered so far null and void.
Need for applicable legislation or constitutional amendments to assure this will never happen again with appropriate penalties for those who may pursue this course.
These are minimum demands necessary to assure we maintain our republican form of government. Idiocy of the one world government movement under control of corporate elitists violates all reason and logic. It can not succeed as long as people maintain primitive tribal instincts that helped create nation states consisting of people with common heritages, histories and language.
America is the only government in history to create a melting pot of diverse individuals under one sovereign government. That government is being torn apart by multiculturism and diversity programs designed to promote differences and hatred instead of common bonds.
That is a part of the plan to destroy the greatest free nation ever known. Please insist these minimal changes be made and join as one to see them accomplished. Find our common heritage and celebrate it with me and your neighbors. We are not going to make it unless we do. We must challenge this assault on our very being.
