Let me be absolutely straightforward here, NO country can afford War, Tax Reduction, and massive governmental looting of the State Treasury and survive as a free nation. Can’t be done.
Let there be no mistake, the intent of this move is to richly reward the administrations friends in the oil and gas business, stash away a few stray billions for the present administration and to bankrupt the Federal Government. A bankrupt federal government is a tame government, and can become just another useful tool of corruption, like congressmen.
Stay tuned, we know the democrats will shuffle and whine a bit, but they will no nothing. Most of the American people won’t even know about this. Many thousands, perhaps millions, of Americans who do know will become enraged and vow to stop it, but will be unable to. The days of this government fearing, or even noticing, public outcry is long passed.
When thievery and skullduggery is done in the open, it doesn’t mean the crooks are trying to be more honest. It means that they have nothing to fear. Cockroaches operating in the light, because they no longer fear.
Daily, the proof that America is no longer a democracy, but a tyranny grows stronger. Bush will either allow or ferment a new attack on America; killing thousands of his fellow citizens, then proclaim martial law and a new Bush Era. Bush will drive the wages to third world levels, crushing the working people into wage slaves. The American economy will reward only the rich, and provide unadequate crumbs to the rest. Rights and freedoms of Americans will continue to dissappear, some with no notice. The tyranny of a police state with an intrusive and belligerant government keeping track of ordinary citizens. Free speech will be stopped and people openly opposing the govnerment will dissappear. Perhaps, Bush will hand select his chosen successor, who will be elected after a sham election in which the votes of American Citizens will only be accepted if they support the state, because voting itself no longer means anything.
A friend of mine once told me that the Iranian people lost over 800,000 people in their war with Iraq and they take great pride in this. So much so, that they are willing to lose another 800,000, 900,000 maybe two millions more if they are forced into war again. This is a tough people.
Do you think the soft and pliable American Citizens would take that level of loss and continue fighting? Not a chance.
It isn’t that Americans aren’t capable of great courage, they are, the problem I believe is that they have been so cowed and manipulated by federal forces that they can no longer think for themselves. Americans wait to be told what to do, they accept it, and do it. Their churchs are founded on blind obedience to the words of the priest, or pastor, or reverend.
Additionally, there may be more freedom in Iran than we have here in this country. People are afraid to protest because they know the Bush Administration is keeping track and is swiftly punishing those who stand up to this juggernaught.
Think about it, everything you have, everything you own, everything you hope to achieve, lies with the government. With a change here or there in your credit score and you would be unable to buy a house, car, or you could become bankrupt. This administration can and does reach out and punish citizens who dare speak up against it. Witness the VA worker in New Mexico who complained about Bush handling of Hurricane Katrina, and who is now under investigation for ‘Sedition”. One letter to the editor, one instance of standing up and exercising free speech, and she is now under investigation.
Consider that it is now illegal for an American Citizen to wear an article of clothing unapproved by the ruling elite. Witness Cindy Sheehan being removed from the State of the Union Speech, even though she had a lawful ticket, because her shirt offended Bush. Even a Republican was removed for having a political statement on her shirt, the difference was that she wasn’t arrested and booked in to local law enforcement.
Witness the fact that the Patriot Act is passing in the Congress with only minor, superficial changes. Such as, if you are investigated by the Federal Government, you do not have the right to find out why, nor are you allowed to speack of this openly. Recently, the valiant opposition party, the democrates, fought hard and brutally for a compromise and they won. Now, if you are invaded by federal law enforcement, you are able to find out why they did this....after a year has gone by. After one year, you now have the right to questions why your home was invaded by federal law enforcement. Only thing is, even if you find out, and that is a long shot, you still can't tell anybody about it.
People that have a lot, have a lot to lose. In this society what we have and what we do for a living are our credentials. They define our worth, our success, and our status within our society. Threaten this, and you threaten everything of worth an American holds dear. It is a mighty strangle hold that chokes the words of freedom right out of their mouths.
The government of this country holds the life of every citizen in its hands. From the IRS to federal law enforcement, to subtle words to your employer that end your employment. This government controls its people very tightly, and most don’t have a clue how very fragile their well-being really is.
So, it will continue, for there are none left to stop it. The subjegation of America is nearly complete. We have a ruling class that care little for the plight of citizens, just as King George felt nothing for people he enslaved, tortured, and murdered. Our King George is just as brutal.

U.S. Royalty Plan to Give Windfall to Oil Companies
By EDMUND L. ANDREWS
Published: February 14, 2006
"WASHINGTON, Feb. 13 — The federal government is on the verge of one of the biggest giveaways of oil and gas in American history, worth an estimated $7 billion over five years.
Royalty-Free Oil and Gas
New projections, buried in the Interior Department's just-published budget plan, anticipate that the government will let companies pump about $65 billion worth of oil and natural gas from federal territory over the next five years without paying any royalties to the government.
Based on the administration figures, the government will give up more than $7 billion in payments between now and 2011. The companies are expected to get the largess, known as royalty relief, even though the administration assumes that oil prices will remain above $50 a barrel throughout that period..."
