Outrageous: President Wants Billions More for War
Veterans Today writer Tom Barnes posted our concerns about President Obama requesting defense budgets larger than anything proposed by the Bush administration. What is he and the Democrats trying to do – out do the Republicans on being war mongers?
Check out this video from ReThink Afghanistan. As you watch the video, note that the Democrats are in a very close Senate race in Massachusetts. What will you do as a pro-Peace voter in Massachusetts?
What are you going to do vote Republican?
You are not going to vote Republican!

MOST OF THE PEOPLE WHO VOTED FOR OBAMA, WERE EXPECTING A MAJOR “CHANGE” FROM THE GEORGE W BUSH WAR MONGERING ….GUESS WHAT !
THEY CHANGED THE PUPPET BUT NOT THE HAND UNDER IT: THE REAL POWER TO BE. THIS “RULING ELITE” AND THEIR CORPORATE CRONIES FROM THE MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX AND THE WALL STREET “BANKSTERS” PICKED OBAMA IN ORDER TO CREATE AN ILLUSION OF “CHANGE” TO DECEIVE THE AMERICAN IDIOTS WHO DON’T UNDERSTAND THAT “PERPETUAL STATE OF WAR” AND “CRISIS” IS THEIR WAY TO GOVERN, NO MATTER WHO WE THINK WE ELECTED, BOTH SIDES ARE MANIPULATED AND ONE CANDIDATE ON EACH SIDE (DEMOCRAT AND REPUBLICAN) IS SELECTED IN ADVANCE SO THE “BOTTOM LINE” POLICIES DO NOT CHANGE.IT IS OBVIOUS THAT OBAMA IS TAKING OVER WHERE BUSH LEFT OFF.
THE STLYLE IS DIFFERENT BUT THE AGENDA REMAIN THE SAME. ONLY A HALF BRAINED MONKEY WOULD NOT REALIZE WHAT IS REALLY GOING ON. (SAME FAKE AL QAEDA WHO SHOWS UP WHEN ANOTHER INVASION IS NEEDED, SAME “WMD”S” SUSPECTED IN THE NEXT COUNTRY TARGETED FOR BOMBING AND INVASION,AND THEY ALL OIL PRODUCERS… COINCIDENCE OF COURSE)
YES WE CAN !…..GO BROKE .

Very decent and accurate response Rey. In fact, we have been inundated with calls from the usual Democrat grassroots organizations who keep the same style and power structure in place asking us to donate to candidates who are not even running in our states.
Take the Democrat race in Massachusetts for example.
True Majority is asking its grassroots follower across the nation, especially registered Democrats to fork up even more bucks when we can’t match what the Israeli lobby, defense industry, and right-wing can muster.
Can’t speak for everyone at Veterans Today, but we somewhat endorsed the Democrat running for Senate in Iowa, because at least he took an unpopular STAND on Iraq and Afghanistan that goes even against Obama and the Democratic leadership (if you want to call them that). What’s the difference between the Republican and Democratic leadership, there is none. In fact, both parties lack LEADERSHIP.
Then, they are going to wonder why we the INDEPENDENTS sit this one out.
That said, who has most to lose for slighting not only their liberal base, the left of center, but independents who thought the Democrats may get in right in 2006 (wrong) learn from 2006 that they can’t ignore US (wrong), got arrogant come 2008 (just like Republican arrogance), and now will pay the price come 2010.
Oh, it is 2010.

Aint that because the Bushies never included the Wars in the budget? They were paid for- well, borrowed for, by “supplimentals”. So, THAT’S why Ob’s “defense” budget is bigger than W’s. Plus the muchly expanded VA.
The Pledge of Allegiance is a mockery & disgrace, and Ill never go thru THAT idiotic hokum.
then there is THIS- http://warincontext.org/2010/01/16/obama-confidants-spine-chilling-proposal/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email

Ray is close to the truth, I believe. When before the election I found out that Obama is a member of the Council of Foreign Relations I had very little hope that
he would be the instigator of much change, but I thought he might make an end run around the Establishment in a second term. Kennedy thought he was the boss, and look what happened to him. I voted for Nader. Read Tragedy and Hope by Caroll Quigley.
“But I thought he might make an end run around the Establishment in a second term.”
What second term?
“Read Tragedy and Hope by Caroll Quigley.”
It takes an intellectual to follow Quigley and how many or us remain in the United States?
Those of us with a High School GED may be able to make it through his video, but suffice it to say that a multiparty system is the only way to restore freedom and democracy to at least our own nation.
Having gone beyond a GED to a BA and MA, I made the time to patiently watched Quiqley’s video summarizing Tragedy and Hope http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IRkCvubUGCM
I have to agree with someone who read Carroll Quigley’s Tragedy and Hope. First of all it talks about international bankers being reduced from the masters of the economic system to it’s servants after 1932. There is no clear discussion of exactly how bankers are ruling the world.
Some have noted that owning the U.S. federal reserve and other central banks is how bankers run the world. Bankers own you, me and see us as subhuman poor cannon fodder.
Frankly, that’s about as close as his book comes to Veterans and Military Family issues. The focus of this post is on the Obama Administration shoveling more money based on foreign loans not hard U.S. currency into the Defense Industry and war(s). Though his administration and the Democrats will make the same claims as the Republicans about pouring more money into the Department of Veterans Affairs to take care of us cannon fodder who survive the war(s) – more politely put – VETERANS. This funding also is based on foreign loans!!!
We need to get back on FOCUS.
The money being wasted on the defense industry and war(s) could be better spent to bring down our National Debt, pay off foreign loans instead of taking out more, and even rebuild our Armed Forces to be more DEFENSIVE in nature instead of OFFENSIVE.
Conspiracy theories are either funny, outrageous, or down right serious, especially when no one takes the wake up calls serious.
Beyond my focus on Military Veterans and Military Families, we do need to be able to do a better job connecting the dots on who control the American economy and political system then go from there to dissecting the New World Order or whatever.
The dots are there. If Quiqley’s views aren’t enough cross-reference his views focused on the early 20th century with those of Jeff Gates on our writing staff. Jeff will tell you who not only has historically run the U.S. economic system, but also controls the mainstream media, Congress, and the Presidency.
How long it will take them to control the U.S. Judiciary remains to be seen unless they already do.
I’m talking about both Christian and Jewish Zionists not to be confused with Christians and Jews.
Read Jeff’s Guilt By Association: How Deception and Self-Deceit Took America to War
Watch the video: Fort Hood: What TV Won’t Tell You, and Jeff gives us a glimpse into just how Guilt by Association and deception works.
Then read his book Guilt By Association: How Deception and Self-Deceit Took America to War on Amazon at:
http://www.amazon.com/Guilt-Association-Deception-Self-Deceit-America/dp/098213150X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1263743458&sr=1-1
Then compare it to Quiqley’s views on a world order controlled by banking interests. Who owns the banks? Same folks who own mainstream media.
