12-26-06 Merchants Of Chaos
First, you find a chaotic problem. If you can't find one big enough, then you just create one. I'll point out that the best example of creating one is the "war on terror" beginning with Afghanistan, and then Iraq.
After you've got the population convinced that the chaotic problem really exists and that it really has to be solved, then you're all set. Now you can rape the US treasury. Throw caution to the wind and appropriate billions and billions to solve the chaotic problem, year after year. Meanwhile, make sure that there's plenty of that money going into the right pockets.
Results? Who cares about results?
Tossed into the mix last year was hurricane Katrina... a chaotic problem that was miraculously dropped into their laps like a golden egg. What a fantastic opportunity!!! It took the prospect of creating another chaotic problem right out of their hands!
Here's an article about the fraud and pocketing of "katrina money".
If you look at where the billions and billions of taxpayer dollars went in the waging of the "war on terror" and "handling" of hurricane Katrina, you might notice that there's a vast and persistent lack of results. And underneath the lack of results is the auditing of where the money actually went. That's where you find the skimpy details of investigations, fines, wrongdoing, and (this is the one that really says it all) sloppy accounting...
Here's a good example of sloppy accounting.
Of course, the way that the major media spins these scandal-ridden activities is the way the above story was spun, as well. "Oh, gee, we just wanted to get things going as fast as we could... to... to... to HELP PEOPLE, y'see... and well... gosh, we weren't that concerned with all those accounting details... setting all that up would've slowed down our efforts to HELP PEOPLE, see..."
Same story across the board.
These guys are the merchants of chaos, and they will never stop, never give up, and never cede the power they accumulate along the way. Some of their henchmen have been running the executive branch of our government for the past six years. They have not been "helping people" at all. They have simply been "helping themselves" to a treasure that future generations of taxpayers will have to come up with.
Meanwhile, in six short years, they have made the world a much worse place, a much more dangerous and chaotic place, and they have profited immensely from it. At this point in time, anyone who believes that what has happened was "by chance" has to have their heads buried in the sand.
