America's biggest export...jobs.

Sorry that I have not been blogging for some time now. I've been really busy looking for work. So far I haven't made a dime with this Blog thing and need to find some way of supporting myself. Being an ex-techie in a job market that is flooded with qualified applicants doesn't help much either, not to mention that even the lower level help desk and support jobs have taken flight to far off places like India.

Even the American companies like K.B.R. and Halliburton aren't hiring Americans. Most of the jobs they have seem to go to foreign workers who are willing to put their life on the line for a couple bucks a day. It's sickening that they've got these billion dollar (no bid) contracts and instead of hiring Americans they opt for workers from third world countries just so their profits are greater. Oh well, I guess that's just how the country crumbles.

USA --not US Inc.

Somewhere this Nation was hi-jacked and tragically it ended up being crashed into downtown Baghdad...the fires are is still raging and we've yet to begin to see the aftermath of what has happened. This is not said to underscore 9/11 in any way, but to emphasize the magnitude of the situation this country now finds its' self irreversibly involved in.

It leaves you wondering how we as a Nation of People are going to resolve the crisis our leaders have created in the Middle East, when the whole thing seems to have been started by them as a solution for our own troubled economy. Unfortunately the only economic woes being addressed were those of ...Big Money Interests... and their need to offset the losses created by their destruction of the U.S. economy and overthrow of the U.S. government. What better way than through its' own lucrative government contracts worth Billions of dollars?

For "American Big Business" this translated into...Free Oil and all the money they could print. We're all familiar with the term "nothing's free" and although it may seem that way for a select few sitting comfortably in leather executive chairs located in quite parts of the world, it is in fact being paid for by the blood of many. All those that are fighting, all those that are dying, all those that are unwillingly caught in the middle are paying the price. Sadly nobody will really know what toll will be extracted from humanity, until the deal is done.

"The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic State itself. That, in its essence, is Fascism -- ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or any controlling private power." - Franklin Delano Roosevelt

I went to Abu Ghraib...



I went to Abu Ghraib and all I got was this stupid t-shirt, two broken ribs, beaten, starved, tortured, stripped, and raped.
