We were indeed
--- help me Instant Runoff Voting, you're my only hope ---

There is little doubt that the world in general is more liberal than it was 50 years ago and beyond. Conservatives are simply roadblocks on the path to an ever more progressive and liberal world. What a sad existence.

Kissinger told China communist takeover in Vietnam was acceptable: documents
WASHINGTON (AP) - Former U.S. secretary of state Henry Kissinger quietly acknowledged to China in 1972 that Washington could accept a communist takeover of South Vietnam if that evolved after a withdrawal of U.S. troops - even as the war to drive back the Communists dragged on with mounting deaths.

The late U.S. president Richard Nixon's envoy told Chinese Premier Zhou Enlai: "If we can live with a communist government in China, we ought to be able to accept it in Indochina."

Kissinger's blunt remarks surfaced in a collection of papers from his years of diplomacy released Friday by George Washington University's National Security Archive. The collection was gathered from documents available at the U.S. government's National Archives and obtained through the research group's declassification requests.

Why don't we head warnings from great minds?

A Farewell to Kings

When they turn the pages of history, when these days have passed long ago,
will they read of us with sadness for the seeds that we let grow?
We turned our gaze from the castles in the distance.
Eyes cast down on the path of least resistance.
Cities full of hatred, fear and lies. Withered hearts and cruel, tormented eyes.
Scheming demons dressed in kingly guise beating down the multitude and scoffing at the wise.

The hypocrites are slandering the sacred halls of Truth.
Ancient nobles showering their bitterness on youth.
Can't we find the minds that made us strong?
Can't we learn to feel what's right and wrong? What’s wrong?


Cities full of hatred, fear and lies. Withered hearts and cruel, tormented eyes.
Scheming demons dressed in kingly guise beating down the multitude and scoffing at the wise.
Can't we raise our eyes and make a start? Can't we find the minds to lead us closer to the heart?

Truman, and Eisenhower predicted such things long before the 2nd world war was over. Too bad the voters forgot about it and congress sold out the people to a corporate plutocracy.

Dear Members of Congress and the Government:

What else do you need to see in order to CALL FOR INVESTIGATIONS? I received this from
Captain May at Ghost Troop on the Internet and agree fully.
APFN

The men and women who died not only on 09-11-01 but since then in various WAR areas when
AMERICA IS NOT AT WAR WITH ANYONE should visit each of you while sleeping or
awake to let you KNOW this was an inside job and the FBI and other investigative agencies
have been ORDERED to STAND DOWN ON THE INVESTIGATIONS!

Please see the Video and review the evidence via professionals ONCE AND FOR ALL!
All agencies and Government Officials including Congress STOPPED INVESTIGATING.
Remember how many investigations were involving PEARL HARBOR! NONE FOR 9/11
INITIATED BY CONGRESS WITH THE HELP OF THE FBI! President and Vice
President cannot STOP MURDER/TREASON INVESTIGATIONS or they risk being
charged as Principals or Accessory and there are no PARDONS allowed for Treason/Murder!

IMPEACH ANYONE RESPONSIBLE OR HIDING THE TRUTH ON THIS MURDER/TREASON!

No Presidential APPOINTED BOARD, ask for every American who has knowledge to come
forward OR RISK CHARGES FOR TREASON AND MURDER! Special Military and FBI
personnel are no doubt HIDING the truth on Orders and they need to read their
OATH OF OFFICE!

9/11 Ripple Effect - Full Length Film

The War Prayer, by Mark Twain
Live the Light, Give the Light,
Bring Heaven to Earth Every Day!
