Off-shore World Order Military for America

Subject: Outsourcing American military

RE: "America's For-Profit Secret Army" by Leslie Wayne, NY Times, October 15, 2002. It was true then and is even more so now.

I find the closing of our military bases, when Clinton already cut back many not so long ago, alarming. The President seems bent on setting up bases off-shore just like everything else with our tax dollars for his agenda and profit.

CPSAN is televising the destruction of our military defense system for America and calling it "reorganization since the Cold War".

New bases in Israel, Iraq, Afghanistan, etc. everywhere but here. Troops to be foreign also.

It is war for profit. The money doesn't even go to us but to off-shore British banks. This is theft and King George is robbing us. The British have troops in the streets of London but few in Iraq or Afghanistan. Whose fooling who lying Tony Blair and his buddy in crime GW Bush?

"Mercenaries, as they were once known, are thriving-only this time they are called private military contractors, and some are even subsidiaries of Fortune 500 companies." from an article by Leslie Wayne, Tuesday October 15, 2002, NY Times, "America's For-profit Secret Army.

It is a problem for the following reasons-

1. The Congress,the American people, and shareholders lack oversight and control of their activities and agenda. It is secret so we don't even discuss it.

2. The estimate cost was $100 billion in 2002..more and growing to trillions now. "Guns or butter" is an understatement with this type of plundering for their "World Order" theft.

3. High tech weapons and operating systems could be used against us if a group of foreign generals take control. Or even a group of them could steal. The foreign military of the Romans, who they train on their methods of war, etc., turned against them and lead to their down fall.

4. Unelected generals and international elite (CEOs, corporations, bankers) determine who lives and who dies for their profit and agenda. It will be the end of democracy for an oligarchy.

5. They have no concern about the safety or welfare of our sons and daughters sent off to war. They send them home injured and refuse to give them proper health care and benefits. It is inhuman for them and the societies they are sent off to kill for profit.

6. This mercenary army is lawless. "Private contractors are not obligated to take orders or to follow military codes of conduct."

The out sourcing of our military with our money is not even discussed by the Congress or the media. They have to be aware of it. The NY Times certainly has been.

We Americans are financing a world crime gang for corporate profits. This is taxation without representation, high treason, and murder for profit. It is not democracy. I object! I protest! Yes..I am outraged about it all. How about you? Are you discussing this?

1. "symptom" of "globalization"?

Noam Chomsky: Views on "Globalization"

Chomsky made early efforts to critically analyze globalization. He summarized the process with the phrase "old wine, new bottles," maintaining that the motive of the élites is the same as always: they seek to isolate the general population from important decision-making processes, the difference being that the centers of power are now transnational corporations and supranational banks. Chomsky argues that transnational corporate power is "developing its own governing institutions" reflective of their global reach. <9>

According to Chomsky, a primary ploy has been the co-optation of the global economic institutions established after World War II. The key Bretton Woods institutions, the IMF and World Bank, have increasingly adhered to the "Washington Consensus", which requires developing countries to adhere to limits on spending and make structural adjustments that often involve cutbacks in social and welfare programs. IMF aid and loans are normally contingent upon such reforms. Chomsky claims that the construction of global institutions and agreements such as the World Trade Organization, GATT, NAFTA, and the Multilateral Agreement on Investment constitute new ways of securing élite privileges while undermining democracy. <10>

Chomsky believes that these austerity and neoliberal measures ensure that poorer countries merely fulfill a service role by providing cheap labour, raw materials, and investment opportunities for the first world. Additionally, this means that corporations can threaten to relocate to poorer countries, and Chomsky sees this as a powerful weapon to keep workers in richer countries in line.

Chomsky takes issue with the terms used in discourse on globalization, beginning with the term "globalization" itself, which he maintains refers to a corporate-sponsored economic integration rather than being a general term for things becoming international. He dislikes the term anti-globalization being used to describe what he regards as a movement for globalization of social and environmental justice. Chomsky understands what is popularly called "Free trade" as a "mixture of liberalization and protection designed by the principal architects of policy in the service of their interests, which happen to be whatever they are in any particular period." <11>

In his writings Chomsky has drawn attention to globalization resistance movements. He described Zapatista defiance of NAFTA in his essay "The Zapatista Uprising." He also criticized the Multinational Agreement on Investment, and reported on the activist efforts that led to its defeat. Chomsky's voice was an important part of a growing chorus of critics who provided the theoretical backbone for the disparate groups who united for the demonstrations against The World Trade Organization in Seattle in November of 1999. <12>

Whose interests are the Neocons really serving...The Carlyle Group??...given seemingly-willful ignoring of warnings about impending attack on the US, given World Trade Center destruction...given 9/11 "response" that aborted the pursuit of Bin Laden...2000/2004 subversion of Democracy via election fraud...a "war" in Iraq based on a "pack of lies" with insufficient resources to "win"...while allowing 400 tons of explosives to be seized by the "opponent" (source of IEDs)...paid by a run-up of US-deficits without rolling back tax-cuts for the rich (keeping US government "revenue-starved")...Bush request for Chalabi pardon...supporting outsourcing of US jobs to "cheap labor", underfunding health care, undermining science, attacking social security, pension-dissolution at United (forcing other airlines to do same to remain competitive), destruction of a CIA intelligence network monitoring WMDs proliferation...??
