The american empire and its final solution!

THE AMERICAN EMPIRE AND ITS FINAL SOLUTION!

By Stanley Collymore

President Barack Obama is like many similar mixed race kids that sadly find themselves caught up in the dilemma he subsequently found himself in; brought up by a white and usually disgruntled mother, herself enmeshed in the baggage of her marriage, whose biological family tolerated at best her choice of husband but frequently were implacably antagonistic towards it, and all this compounded by an absent father that mentally for the younger Obama collectively triggered a tsunami of complex and unresolved emotions made considerably worse when as a young man having decided to seek out and get to know his father, dad was unfortunately dead. So the nagging issues going right back to his birth, childhood and one-parent upbringing still remain largely unresolved; the demons are still there and accounts for the noticeable fact that while every previous US president was more than happy to loudly trumpet his roots, however nebulous these might be with certain European countries, Ireland is a case in point, and make a point of going either on private or state visits to them while in office to reconnect these family links, President Barack Obama in marked contrast conspicuously avoids his father's birthplace Kenya, as he would the Black Death.

And what about Michelle Obama with her undeniable and deeply embedded, black US slavery roots and who ought to know and should be reacting much better than she's currently doing or encouraging her husband to? Is she as prescient-minded analysts have frequently and honestly drawn attention to this puzzling factor just another one among those in the black Diaspora that without whom the devastation of colonialism, slavery, segregation, Jim Crow Laws, apartheid and numerous other ills that still bedevil the lives of black people globally, could not possibly have had the lengthy shelf life they had without such people rather short-sightedly cosying up to and acquiescently doing the bidding of the same whites that regarded and behaved towards them in ways wholly inapt to their status as fellow human beings? Why are the Obamas acting as though they're walking on eggs shells? Or is it a classic case of, I'm alright Jack and to hell with the rest of you?

At 07.46.52 on the 5 November 2008 I received this email from Barack Obama. It's probably one of the same that was sent to several others who like me had voluntarily worked extremely hard on his campaign to have him elected as President of the United States of America. I've included it here for a number of reasons not least because I feel people like me have had our intelligence insulted by this man and because to any critics out there who might want to say I have a personal grudge against Barack that you ought really to go have your heads tested. In the same way that John F. Kennedy broke an entrenched taboo in the US and made it possible for Catholics not only to aspire to but actually become the president of their country my overt support for Barack was along those same lines. In other words it wasn't so much the man but the principle that he embodied; namely that a Blackman or other non-white minority citizen of the United States could equally and realistically aspire to the highest office in the land. Sadly like Margaret Thatcher in the UK Barack Obama squandered the opportunity he was given; no female will be elected Prime Minister of the United Kingdom in the foreseeable future because of what Maggie Thatcher was and did; and alas it'll be a long time before any black person will be allowed to become President of the United States again because of Barack. I sincerely hope I am wrong in this latter regard but that's my gut feeling. Below is the email I got from him.

Stanley

I'm about to head to Grant Park to talk to everyone gathered there, but I wanted to write to you first. We just made history. And I don't want you to forget how we did it. You made history every single day during this campaign -- every day you knocked on doors, made a donation, or talked to your family, friends, and neighbors about why you believe it's time for change.

I want to thank all of you who gave your time, talent, and passion to this campaign. We have a lot of work to do to get our country back on track, and I'll be in touch soon about what comes next. But I want to be very clear about one thing... All of this happened because of you.

Thank you,

Barack

Now I don't give a damn any longer about what Americans do at home; how many Blacks they incarcerate in their prisons like Angola, their showpiece gulag in Louisiana; disproportionately have on death row; who has health insurance and who doesn't. Nor do I give a monkey's about how many of your homes are foreclosed on; how many of you are thrown out of work because your precious jobs have been shipped overseas to sweat shop economies; or how many of your feral, psychotic kids gun down each other in their classrooms; important issues that you should seriously and steadfastly be addressing at home instead of going around the world and with the finesse of a bull in a China shop indefensibly invading and occupying other peoples' countries and unwelcomingly so.

In actual fact I don't really give a damn about you, period; as it's not me who is suffering, or is being deceived and treated with utter contempt by the US government who sees your sons and daughters as nothing more than cannon fodder for their wars; and as far as I'm concerned you have lost all credibility, if you ever possessed any such thing, to be considered normal human beings, and as a rather pretentious civilized country you're really nothing more than a disparate collection of selfish bastards greatly influenced by, dictated to and led by those equally morally bankrupt as yourselves but are beholding to a powerful but small, unaccountable group of right wing Zionists and Christian (only in name), fundamentalist, religious, and extremely dangerous nutters imbued with their own decidedly warped and destructive interpretation of the Bible and its Christian teachings and accordingly have no concept whatsoever of any ethical values worth the name; and were Jesus Christ to return incognito among you today you would most certainly at best brand him a socialist with all the vituperative disdain you could possible muster against him, but more characteristic of your significantly sick and depraved natures denounce him as a terrorist; callously extra-rendition and torture him; and have him crucified all over again, but in one of your handy off-shore and off-limits torture gulags like Guantanamo Bay exactly because you don't have the fu-king balls to do your own dirty work at home and in public for all to see; that's how courageous you really are!

And you behave this wholly inappropriate and utterly barbaric way because you see yourselves as the world's lone superpower and have also convinced yourselves that because of this no one has the right to or can even touch or responsibly hold you to account for your innumerable acts of barbarism; but I challenge you American Empire and the 21st Century's manifestation of the Fascist Third Reich, get rid of these nuclear weapons of yours that you liberally use to threaten, blackmail and wilfully coerce the plethora of such unwilling victims that you abuse and you'll be quickly seen as the odious and cringing bully that you really are. Respect is an attribute that has to be earned and you haven't earned any, and so, fully cognisant of the latter statement, the only way that you get things done nowadays is to rashly point a gun at someone's head; hardly the best, or any way for that matter, to win hearts and influence others.

So why the hell should I care then when in spite of knowing what your country lawlessly gets up to, Good God man its track record is transparent enough for even a blind person to see, you still pretend that you don't know what is going on and the rest of the world should buy into this crap. In every civilized society, and while I'll excuse you on not being part of the latter as you are no way near being that I must however follow accepted protocol, which is that ignorance of the law is not an excuse or a legal defence against prosecution for breaking that law; or does it somehow perversely bestow on that individual the absolute right to behave carte blanche as he or she chooses to. There might be extenuating circumstances but no excuse. So you have none. The simple fact is that you, your government, judiciary and your brutal and repressive military and prison systems deserve each other.

You stink, from the ordinary man in the street right up to the White House and everything else in between. Democratic USA? Don't make me laugh. You're simply a pathetic third rate police state but unlike many such foul entities globally you have the distinction of possessing nuclear weapons that you use to bully and coerce others into doing your bidding. So do me and the rest of the sane and civilized world an enormous favour and the next time you feel like gratuitously having some weapons practice at somebody else's expense, do the poor buggers in that hapless country an immense act of kindness and turn those weapons on yourselves; nuclear ones would be most appreciated by us. I think if you did that and were around to hear it those that remained that is, you'd hear the almightiest of cheers that anyone could imagine quite spontaneously and with the greatest of relief erupting and reverberating around the globe. Why? Because candidly you're universally hated.

It is said that some countries find their security in the insecurity of others. Those in the west who think that they can keep their nuclear weapons, update them, build new generations of them and dictate to others that they shouldn't have them are politically retarded. Real change, Mr President, must be based on justice and mutual respect. And frankly I don't see any of these coming out of the United States. Also nuclear weapons, cruise missiles, Blackhawk helicopters and the like are completely useless as a defence or protective mechanism for US citizens in the world's capitals or in holiday locations like Cancun, Mexico; and if the lives of the citizens of Third World countries are disdainfully and dismissively regarded by you Americans and your white NATO pals as nothing more than collateral damage tell me, using simple straightforward logic, why should yours be any more valuable; because you're white, Caucasian and American?

The Roman Empire never managed to conquer those who they dismissively referred to as the Barbarians and this was largely because they knew that any tussle with these people wouldn't be a cake walk, so even though they didn't like the Barbarians the Romans none the less had a healthy respect for them based on the realization that if they attacked these people they would fight back to the death; and bullies when they know this usually keep their distance, if there's no such resolve then the bully feels he or she has carte blanche to do whatever they like. The Barbarians also had a unique and unifying war cry in their resistance to any attempted Roman hegemony over their lands and their lives which left the unmistakable message that they really meant business. It was: Let's Die Killing Romans!

What if those perceived by the fascist, American Empire as 21st Century Barbarians emulated their historical counterparts and in their own brave resistance to this alien empire's continued usurpation of their basic human rights, systematic and ongoing theft of their natural resources and obsessive hankering to exert unwarranted hegemony over their lands and lives also rallied under an adapted version of the same war cry: Let's Die Killing Americans!?

what issues do lobbyists for the american red cross campaign for?

How much money do they have? and how influential are they with Congress-getting federal funds, getting hills passed or stopped that they support/oppose?

The Red Cross is neutral and does not lobby. It is federally chartered but receives no funding.
