American Ignorance
and Washington State

There are so many things we have done to this planet which have proven to be wrong, and I would like to say that most of it has been in ignorance. We seem to rely on various people who have been called "experts" in their chosen fields, and yet many times we have not taken the advice rendered. Why is this? First of all, man is a very stubborn being who is bound and determined to do things his own way, right or wrong really does not enter the picture. If money is involved the situation is compounded.

A case in point could be the simple label on a product, such as house paint, that tells you to make sure the surface applied to is clean, free from grease, and dry. How many times have intelligent people painted something that was dirty, oily and even wet, if not from rain then from dew. The same paint label may tell you not to apply when temperatures are below 60 degrees F. and you hire a painter and tell him the house has to be painted this week because it is going up for sale next week. You know if the place is painted you can make $10,000 more on the sale, because the Realtor told you that six months before while the weather was good, explaining how putty and paint can cover the small blemishes and if you replace some of the rotten boards, maybe you can get another $5000. Holding off, you had mulled it over and then a drunken buddy suggested, one night while you both were at the tavern, to putty up the dry rot also as you are moving out of the community anyway. Now the outside temperature is not going to be above 50 for at least two more weeks and rain is forecast... The painter knows this and tells you you should hold off, do the job right and take a slightly lower profit. He points out the paint is both old and toxic as well as outlawed, and his bond will not allow him to use it. You get mad, fire the painter and paint the building your way using cheap labor from your beloved local tavern. You save a lot of money by providing free beer. The paint does not dry, the sale falls through because the potential buyer noticed the poor job trying to conceal the dry rot, and on top of that, the rains come. The paint used was also oil based with lead in it as well as other heavy metals laced with a mercury compound to prevent mildew, old surplus stuff purchased at a garage sale, and it ran off into the flower garden killing the plants. The building looks far worse then when you started and the neighbors blew the whistle and are taking you to court because you killed half of their lawn and their dog died...

Now let us use something far more dangerous to examine. It is World War II and you realize the war can be shortened with new technology, atomic energy in the form of a bomb. The process requires speed, secrecy and a tremendous amount of electrical power to collect heavy water and refine the uranium which will be used to make plutonium. Primary untapped electrical power is Tennessee and Washington State due to the government projects like the Tennessee Valley Authority and the Grand Coulee Dam. Because of population factors, the dirtiest and most hazardous part of the project is to be done out West in remote areas not in use at the time. The physicists tell you the half life of some of the waste material is going to be 25,000 years and the material is going to be the most poisonous substance known to man, where one speck of waste means sure death and will kill over and over. There is no known way to dispose of the waste so it has been decided to bury it in tanks until something can be arranged. The contract to build the tanks went to the lowest bidder and the project was so secret the manufacturer did not know what the tanks were for, that they even were going to be buried in the ground. Materials were skimped upon because of the war effort. Target dates for delivery were made. Inspection was cursory at best to get the job done. The large containers were buried and the waste deposited therein. Some of the waste was corrosive and began to work on the metal. The acidic ground water began to erode the outside surface of the vessels at the same time. The war was won, but a new war aptly named the "Cold War" was to shortly begin. Production of the active materials for the bomb continued on, fueled by the industrial military complex which orchestrated the affair by using fear...

Something else was happening in America, and that was the post war boom after the troops returned home. Everyone wanted homes and cars, appliances and a little room. The previous exodus westward had occurred in the years of the Dust Bowl, immortalized by the book and movie, The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck. Many of the eastern military conscripts had served from western ports and trained in the west, and discovered how much the west had to offer and how inexpensive it was compared to the highly populated East. The air was clean and the waters pure and full of fish. Because of the war, the troops had been exposed to salmon and tuna, creating a demand for the seafood. The Pacific Ocean was bountiful and unlike the Atlantic, was unlargely touched; surplus military boats could be purchased for 10 cents on the dollar and converted into commercial fishing craft. Many new small businesses out west were started by using the surplus stocks of World War II military items, such as trucks, jeeps, firearms, camping gear, electronics and tools; above all the tools. Young doctors picked up entire supplies of surgery implements for next to nothing and started many clinics which ultimately became hospitals. The women who had largely manned industry while the men fought went back to the traditional job of homemaker as the returned hubby manned the the factory production lines which had shifted gears to supply the American consumer goods and refurbish war torn Europe and Japan. Labor unions began solidifying their power... Then another event which was to prove as important as the bomb occurred, was kept as secret as the Manhattan Project, in fact far more so, and it became famously known as the Roswell Incident. It is both ironic as well as interesting both Roswell and Los Alamos were located in New Mexico, and it took an atomic explosions to bring strange curious visitors. The year was 1947 and the new idea of television had finally made it out west to California, and the beginnings of a plush gambling strip was ultimately going to be located in what would be famously known as Las Vegas in the neighboring state of Nevada, a strip featuring entertainment right from Hollywood as well as New York. It was quite a change from 1940...

Prewar California was already on the map thanks to the gold strike, San Francisco and later, Hollywood. The weather was good, and both San Francisco and San Diego had deep water ports used by the Navy. It was not good enough as World War II rolled across the world and America. The next sizable potential port facilities were the Columbia River and Puget Sound, the latter which was by far the best for Bremerton Naval Shipyard. Washington State already had the Boeing aircraft company, was putting in the largest aluminum facility in the world at Vancouver with the Grand Coulee hydroelectric power just idling, and had tremendous surplus electrical power for left for what later would be Hanford. The clear grained old growth fir was a source of lumber for the mine sweepers the Navy needed and Seattle was the Gateway to Alaska, the Aleutian War theater and the Orient. Suddenly the state, because of its natural resources which included coal, had its largest rate of growth in its history from 1940 to 1950. To support the new nuclear industry, the beginnings of three cities in the Hanford area occurred. People from all over America flocked to the state to man the industries for the war effort and many discovered they liked it and stayed. The first real pollution had struck every waterway shipbuilding occurred on, and Grays Harbor, which had been building boats for years, was no exception. Then things settled down for over a decade, the coal mines died as the timber still boomed, irrigation projects provided more wheat in the eastern part of the state, and more dams as well as airplanes were built. The next big step for Washington really hit after something happened called the World Fair in 1962. The eastern younger people suddenly rediscovered the Pacific Northwest and all of its beauty, looked at the problems they had in their own area with air, water and crime, and moved west again to Oregon, Washington and California. Somehow Hanford had been overlooked...

As the years went by, the Hanford tanks grew in number and were better built, but again the cost was a factor. The people watching the nuclear waste were exposed to the chemicals and were not told just how important and deadly their jobs were as old facilities deteriorated. These people were just numbers to the accounting offices, were deemed expendable by those in the power loop of government and business, all orchestrated by the puppet masters 3000 miles away in the East. More time went by and people became wiser about the hazards of the materials they were working with as many of the old timers started dying of cancer, blaming their occupation. Then it was noticed by the workers some of the oldest tanks were very slowly dropping in level and they reported it. They were assured that this was really not a problem, but a few of the nuclear workers had already seen many of their friends die and began to question the truthfulness of the official line. They lost their jobs and / or were pressured to keep their mouths shut as this was largely a military secure facility turning out weapons grade plutonium. More time went by and the first public power reactors were put on the line, moving the nuclear fueling into the public realm, circumventing the military. Someone finally got the ear of investigative news media and the big cover-up began, a fight that lasted for years and is still presently down played by the government bureaucrats entrenched in the industrial military complex.

Roswell and area 51 are a good example of this same type of cover-up with one little difference. By 1948 Roswell was now deemed far more important than the Manhattan project, which had already been compromised and in soviet hands. This time the project was so small a well knit military cadre had been formed, and civilian involvement was much more tightly controlled, using private industry instead of the universities which were a hotbed of political ideology. The mistakes of the atomic bomb with regard to the universities slipping information over to "The other side" were eliminated. It seemed everyone in the army originally involved in Roswell had a little piece of metal here and there stashed, some of which came back years later to haunt them. Roswell was the first incident, but it was not the last involving off worlders, nor was it the last ship from all of the accounts. The words "Marshall, Eisenhower, Camp David and Project Bluebook" began to sound like a litany in some circles. More years passed... We had the transistor and Area 51, men had walked on the moon and our young men were dying in the jungles of Viet Nam. Von Daniken had published his first book and the Fatima Incident had occurred while people noticed the yellow brown air suddenly layering in certain areas out west. Lip service was paid to air quality while the focus of America was in Southeast Asia, and the American auto manufacturers merely started bolting on items to reduced emissions, dropping the fuel economy down to as low as 8 miles to the gallon to "clean up" the air. The oil companies never had sold so much gas... then the war was over in Viet Nam...

Suddenly the concerned scientists who had been shoved quietly off to the side with their seemingly radical anti-industrial ideas blew the whistle as far as the environment was concerned. The cesspool of the east, as far as its waterways went, became the focus that was heard across the land from sea to sea. The ex-Viet Nam protesters, bored with nothing else exciting to do, had a new cause to champion and that was the misuse of the land and air. Information poured in and the media, looking for any kind of a story to boost their ratings on TV, aired it. Because of the air pollution problems in Los Angeles, California became the front runner in this new war. People who thought the sky was so high discovered the atmosphere was really like the skin on a grape, in reality the thickness was less than 20 mileposts on the freeway, and unassisted breathing for most was about three miles. The major culprit for America was none other than the beloved car, with coal close second, the multimillion dollar studies showed. Anyone on the street could have told the government what the problem was, saving a few million, especially if one lived in Pittsburgh. By this time there even was a way to safely dispose of the nuclear waste, but the French owned the process and the power industry by way of Wall Street was going to break the French monopoly by developing a lucrative American process as long term contracts were the order of the day. From the air we focused attention on the ground and then the water again, looking at wetlands and treating other species as suddenly precious in their own right. Both industry and the government bureaucrats tried in vain with every method they had at their disposal to play the problems down, and the government military were by far the worst offenders. The people elected, the EPA was formed and told the government to clean up. Industry began to flee across the border to Mexico where the laws were lax or bought under the table, the labor was cheap and the profits high. Why put in a plant that cost 200 million down south with clean technology when the old way could be employed at one third the cost or even more savings, and labor unions were not an issue? Why, good welders could be had in Mexico for $5 a day... Then there was the Super Fund for cleanup and the taxpayer could help foot the bill for big business, who did not replace the antiquated processes at all, but merely shut them down and in some cases, walked away from the mess, the profits long buried in other areas.

Standard Oil, with inside information on what was going to happen, got out of the corporate service station business they had really started decades before, and the sucker who bought the old service stations suddenly had to foot the bill for all the leaky old tanks. What is humorous is the fact the other oil companies which bought the old stations were outfits from Europe like Shell and BP. Others were purchased for the land by private parties, many of which were ruined in the process. This was not so funny. Standard Oil bided its time and then went back into the business when the coast was clear. Fuel formulas changed because of lead, and the only thing coming out of the tailpipe of personal transportation was CO2... thanks to the pressure put on the automobile business. The coal powered electric plants were replaced by "clean nuclear power" orchestrated by Westinghouse and Con Edison and the air noticeably improved as did the water, tripling the cost of power to the private user. Something else was suddenly amiss. We were destroying the ozone layer... Freon was cited as the major culprit and replacements were found, but it continued in use in the third world countries, thanks to DuPont and others who for profits, moved the industry south and into the third world countries after paying the corrupt governments there off.

In Washington State Hanford began to collect more waste from the other nuke sites, most privately owned, as the battle between the Public Utility Departments and private suppliers continued. Waste was secretly and in some cases illegally, transported into Washington State and tanked as well as what was produced onsite at Hanford by the government. The tanks continued leaking and the government downplayed the problems and covered them up in the black hole of the "good old boy" bureaucracy. The national monies were deemed better spent in other areas, many of the in the industrial military complex, the one Dwight David Eisenhower warned the American people about when he left office. Westinghouse was the largest ultimate player who had the most to gain, its greedy fingers everywhere in the power industry as well as the defense area... When Three Mile Island almost had a melt down and Satsop defaulted on its bonds, throwing the nuclear industry out on its collective ear, Westinghouse suffered a tremendous setback and began to mull over how they were going to get around the public opinion, anti-nuke opinion at that. There was also ßa new meaning to the song "Amazing Grace"...

Then the real big one hit, and that was CO2 buildup, which had been brought forward before but had been downplayed because of the other more immediate problems. Global warming was accelerating at a frightening rate, and CO2 was cited as the culprit. California put more teeth into the laws and virtually demanded electric cars, the result being the first Japanese hybrids which are reported to get 50-60 mpg as the internal combustion portion of the car cuts in and out, cutting the CO2 levels virtually in half. General Motors, banking on a Republican Congress to bail them out, flatly stated they would not produce something similar because it was not profitable enough. The last time the same major corporation told us the internal combustion engine could not be made more efficient. They seem to have forgotten it is the same attitude that cost them the leadership in the industry. An announcement was made by GM of a new engine based on the aircraft turbine which weighed 50 pounds and got upwards of 60+ MPG. We are told the Ross Ice shelf is about due to slide in the sea, and the Northern hole in the ozone layer is much larger, the information being surpressed as to the seriousness of it. Does General Motors seem to care? They do not seem to be interested in CO2 emissions raising atmospheric temperatures as those on the board of directors own oil stocks also. Sixty to seventy MPG is better than no fuel being burned at all by cars running on electricity or possibly a hydrogen fuel source. Besides, this gives the government the ability to raise the gas tax even more, both locally and federally, to levels more comparable to Europe. The savings will not be passed to the consumer, for another way to curtail emissions is to reduce driving, right? This also makes sure the unrestful poor are limited in their ability to travel...

While all of this is going on, Eastern waterways are being attacked by poisonous algae that is actually ulcerating and killing fish and humans have also been attacked by the same organism just by being exposed to the same water. The fueling source seemed to be hog farming bust most likely is a combination of several things, including the water warming trend. This algae has now spread to Europe and you can bet it will find its way to the Pacific Ocean and all the other large bodies of water in the world before it is over...

El Nino has also struck once again and it is still growing, far surpassing anything ever seen before, the results being torrential rains and hurricane force winds which have devastated areas of Mexico and flooded areas of California. A good portion of the mechanism controlling this phenomena is suspected to be global warming and increased undersea volcanic activity. It is a sure bet that the sun which influences the Earth's magnetic field is also part of the problem. The magnetic pole of the Earth is already slowly shifting. Because of the cutting of the rain forests, as well as the stripping of the northern forests by the timber companies worldwide, the CO2 is not being adsorbed as it normally should be and the ground effect air currents have been radically altered, causing wind damage in areas it has never been a problem in before. Though the sea handles far more co2 than the forests, it all is an additive thing. As the trees are cut and more land paved, flooding has become a serious problem in the Pacific Northwest. The county of Grays Harbor in the state of Washington is a good example.

After the Old Growth timber was harvested, trees that even had not come close to reaching maturity were taken next until they virtually had almost disappeared. To keep the paper industry going in order to supply logs, alder became the next target, and alder is nature's wetland tree, an effective water pump pulling water surrounding its roots up into the tree and letting the fluid back down as the ground drainage demands. Suddenly the floods came as both main soil stabilizers were removed to "provide jobs" for people who had been warned three decades previously by the major timber companies not to rely on the timber for a living. These companies had sent people around to every public school to address the senior and junior classes about the future timber problems to make sure the message was loud and clear. I personally do not feel sorry for the loggers for they had been well warned, and I was one of the students who bothered to listen in 1962. The trap the coastal towns and cities fell into was the fact they depended upon natural resources which were managed for short term profits, and this included both commercial and sports fishing along with the timber industry. As the watersheds were destroyed by poor forestry practices, salmon runs disappeared, and other seafood items were over harvested because of the new modern fishing methods. The same thing had happened three decades earlier in California. The sardine was a prime lesson for California, as well as the Pismo clam. Then came the salmon and the dungeness crab... In the late 1960's California crab boats were fishing Washington and Oregon coasts. Now Washington fishermen are fishing Southeast Alaska and the Bering Sea. As the Bering Sea began to falter and was put on quota, many northern outfits traveled south and are now fishing off Chile... The people in British Columbia, Canada, have the same set of problems.

The sea is encroaching inland all over the world at the rate of one foot a year and the speed is increasing as the land also settles, compounded as the ice caps accelerate their melting process. An undersea volcano 150 miles due west of the mouth of the Columbia River , which has suddenly become far more active, may be speeding the process up. Earthquakes for the region are predicted and tidal waves which have periodically hit are overdue but surely to occur. Erosion of certain beach lands between Grays and Wallop Harbors are accelerating because of dam building on the Columbia which have changed the back currents, and dredging by the Army Corps of Engineers. This opened the way for the westerly swells which are due, and supercharged this time by the worst El Nino in the known history of the world. South of the Columbia River homes already are falling into the sea at Tillamook, as they have in the North Cove area of Washington State for years. When the last dune fails between Tokeland and North Cove, millions of dollars worth of Cranberry bogs will be flooded with salt water, and ultimately the sea will reach the hills behind the community of Grayland. How are the people taking this? The newcomers, many from California, are building on the primary dune, never mind scouting the territory out first. The Realtors surely are not going to tell them what is going on thinking of their commissions, after all, we have insurance companies, don't we? Now what about the tidal wave reports which were run five or six years ago? These large waves are periodic things and we are overdue... Is anyone really concerned? I sure wasn't because I live thirty miles inland and 500 feet higher than the residents of the beach area, until I had a series of dreams that just made the hair on the back of my neck stand up and I began to look into it. I have friends and relatives that live there. This brings us back to the national scene...

While this is all going on, Westinghouse has purchased a major TV network and is beginning to make noises about more nuclear reactors, something that has been on hold in America since Three Mile Island and the Satsop default. See survival in this site for more information on this subject. Will Westinghouse get away with it? Will we suddenly have an "electrical energy crisis"? That is up to all of us to stop them cold with any means at our disposal. Quite mistakenly they are still trying to play the game using old rules and we can no longer afford these ploys and attitudes. When the time comes as it is predicted, most of those rules will change forever because those of us who are left will see to that in no uncertain terms. The general public, enraged, will have many members of the Fortune 500 hanging like grapes off any handy tree or pole, and a few senators with them. How can I make such a statement? Merely look to history... Now we have been told the leaking radioactive waste at Hanford is in the ground water and will reach the mighty Columbia about the turn of the millennium, the river that used to so teem with salmon, a species now endangered, it was said you could walk across the water on their backs... The half life of much of the waste is 25,000 years and who bares responsibility? How many senators on the Armed Forces Committee, Republican and Democrat alike, were privy to this information? The State of Washington is talking about deregulating the power and if we examine what has happened elsewhere, the price per kilowatt hour is going to take a commanding leap. Now just who would buy the Bonneville Power Administration? Could it possibly be Westinghouse or Con Edison? Like the man from Atlantic Richfield told Mike Wallace on "60 Minutes" during the "Fuel Crisis" "I am in the business to sell energy. What is it worth to you...?" Look to the East and always remember...

Now just why has all of this occurred? 90% was due to some things you call greed, ego and power, and the rest because you just were too busy playing one silly little game or another to listen to those who warned. You believed the media in your naivety, not realizing the extent of control, both federal and private, and got taken time after time by the ones who consider themselves "elite", people who look down at the common man and merely consider him a pawn in their own ego driven games. Busy with your simple day to day lives, you heard but did not listen, you saw but did not see, you touched but did not feel. There were far more important things, like football and baseball stadiums, the backyard barbecue, the party crowd and drugs. The elitist smiled and pulled the strings, giving your circuses and bread, making sure certain drugs flowed into the troubled inner cities. Most of you had really forgotten how to read because there was always T.V., and because of this media and the way it worked, you really forgot how to closely listen. At least with radio one had to draw a picture with words and the listener had to pay attention to understand. This was originally called communication, or speech if you will.

Suddenly one day all the fish and the clean waters were gone. We had taken one of the world's most picturesque spots called Puget Sound and paved it all around right up into the Cascade Mountains, after we cut those beautiful tall Douglas fir trees and turned them into the beloved paper that the bureaucrats loved so much. Now we are always flooding out in the winter and the truly ignorant keep building in these flood plains as Realtors are thinking of their commissions only. Puget Sound is full of boats madly buzzing about like mosquitos, punctuated with the noise of the jet skis while trails of oil follow them throughout the waterways. God only knows how these sounds that travel so far through the water affect the marine life. We pillaged the beaches and raped the seas in the name of recreation, many times throwing the clams which were taken into the garbage cans because someone was just too lazy to clean and cook them, and throwing the fish back over the side because one did not really care to clean those either. After all the adjustments are made for those leaving the State of Washington, our population grows at the rate of 90,000 a year. Some call this "progress" and these people have dollar signs in their eyes as they try to figure out how to sell swamp to some Californian who is running from the state he already ruined, from the ecology he had already devastated. We had one group of experts in the earth sciences who tried to tell and show us the error of our ways for over 100 years. Like the painter who tried to tell you not to paint the house until the time was right, we did not listen. The money that is proving to having no ultimate value was more important than doing the proper job. That expert that we should have heeded was the American Indian, and we had better listen to him now...

Yes, it is interesting and this is what the Mobius Projects are all about in the PAL Oil System. We have a little problem here in America and have had for some time. The American people are not the greatest thinkers in the world because they are spoiled and lazy, totally reactionary, and the bulk of our news media is quite controlled. For example, the Westinghouse corporation owns the American CBS television network... The others are controlled by other major businesses and the news gets to a certain point or level, and then is "adjusted" to become what has been coined as "politically correct". There are many people in the United States who are questioning our world position and just exactly what the major players are up to, which is normally nothing good at all. I think what really is happening is Iraqi oil is hitting the market by way of Iran, and this is the primary concern. Like diamonds and gold, oil also is a false market this day and age. What does it cost to produce a barrel of oil in the North Sea compared to produce one in Saudi Arabia or Mexico? Chinese oil, as that in Russia, is now nicely tied up with Standard Oil, and this is your direct link to the Chase Manhatten Bank and the IMF by way of Europe and the Rothchilds. Economically the major players divided the world into three zones and now there is a quiet push by the third world countries to form a fourth and possibly fifth zone. The bankers do not like this at all. Take a nice little browser, for example. While you struggle for upfront money to produce what you need forto turn it out, you run head on into Microsoft, Netscape (The big players will buy them out) and Apple who sleeps with everybody who makes software. Have you noticed any resistance? This is nothing compared to the energy business, and the energy business is nothing compared to the banking industry which is where all the strings of the world converge. The United States with its Mega-corporations control 65% of the world trade, Britain controls 20% and that leaves 15% left for everyone else. Notice I said "controls", not "owns".

Now Microsoft is in trouble because it is a new player on a very old stage. The question is not the Internet Explorer, but the business software... He who controls the business software controls the tools to the banking industry as time continues on. Because the software is "closed" to Gates system and Gates alone, this is what the real issue is. Unix is dying and that is what the banking industry has been using. In short, the only cross platform we have at the moment is really html and the associated integrated systems. Java, based on C++ is merely a way to create a cross platform chip within a chip, and html already cross platforms nicely. The difference is in the possibilities for extremely advanced applications which are very powerful and are centered around games theory and ultimately artifical intelligence. Of course, you know all of this... Anyway the real world puppet masters made their point to Gates by way of the U.S. law system. In short, they and they alone dictate the rules of economics. When Gates developed a better Dos system, that was OK. Everyone could write their own system software and integrate it by Dos rules. When Windows came out, it was embraced by the low end user because the format was liked to the easy Mac system. This did not constitute much of a problem due to the fact the old Dos shell was intact, and that shell supported Unix, the banking language. Windows 95 was another matter entirely, and the code was contolled by Microsoft which unlike Apple, was already resident in 90% of the machines in the world. Checkmate...

The banking industry is very conservative in nature, minipulated by elderly men resistive to change, and these conservatives take a lot of time to think things out. They are used to having their own way based upon their own pace, and the computer industry ala Bill Gates blew them off the road with its blinding speed, despite this resistance...

The world is trapped between the future and the past, but the past is dying rapidly as younger players began to strap themselves in the command chairs vacated by death of the previous generation of puppet masters. There is no such thing as retirement at the top of this pyramid, only death relinquishes the grip of the power junkie, and medical science is paid very well to hold the grim reaper off. Those in their 80's are replaced by those in their late 50's and early 60's, always insuring we are one generation behind and staying somewhat conservative. War is a conservative invention... War is for maintaining or expanding the Status Quo as defined by men in their 70's and 80's, who see to it their wishes are carried out by the ambitious men 50+ years of age who strive to be next admitted to the top council. War is a powerful and profitable instrument and only one nation has been physically untouched by war in the last 148 years. That country is Switzerland. All the powerful men in the world knew they needed one place that was truly neutral, a place to hold their sometimes ill gotten gains, a place they could escape to if everything else had failed, an insurance policy so to speak. Since Switzerland is not in the United Nations, it is tough to extradite anyone.

I cannot speak for all the people of the United States, but I can speak for 90% of us and we do not want war, and have no asperations of ruling the world. I venture to guess the average British citizen feels the same way. Do you know why the average person in the United States owns and fights to keep his personal arms? It is not because we fear the people of Canada, Mexico or even the Chinese or Russians. It is because we cannot and do not trust our own government anymore. The power factions are making their move and they know they are getting very close to stepping over the line. To get exactly what they want, they have to disarm the people and this is what they are trying to do...

Will they get what they want? I don't think so...

Sincerely, Allen D. Furford
