Our Governments Hypocrisy - The Balance of Power An Essay by Timothy McVeigh

2009-11-28T01:54:00.000-08:00

The Essay
Title by Justice Junction as The Governments Hypocrisy, The Balance of Power.

The administration has said that Iraq has no right to stockpile chemical or biological weapons ("weapons of mass destruction") - mainly because they have used them in the past. Well, if that's the standard by which these matters are decided, then the U.S. is the nation that set the precedent. The U.S. has stockpiled these same weapons (and more) for over 40 years. The U.S. claims that this was done for deterrent purposes during it's "Cold War" with the Soviet Union. Why, then, is it invalid for Iraq to claim the same reason (deterrence) - with respect to Iraq's (real) war with, and the continued threat or, it's neighbor Iran?

The administration claims that Iraq has used these weapons in the past. We've all seen the pictures that show a Kurdish woman and child frozen in death from the use of chemical weapons. But, have you seen these photo's juxtaposed next to pictures from Hiroshima or Nagasaki? I suggest that one study the histories of World War I, World War II and other "regional conflicts" that the U.S. has been involved in to familiarize themselves with the use of "weapons of mass destruction." Remember Dresden? How about Hanoi? Tripoli? Baghdad? What about the big ones - Hiroshima and Nagasaki? (At those two locations, the U.S. killed at least 150,000 non-combatants - mostly women and children - in the blink of an eye. Thousands more took hours, days, weeks or months to die.)

If Saddam is such a demon, and people are calling for war crimes charges against him and his nation, why do we not hear the same cry for blood directed at those responsible for even greater amounts of "mass destruction" - like those responsible and involved in dropping bombs on the cities mentioned above? The truth is, the U.S. has set the standard when it comes to the stockpiling and use of weapons of mass destruction. Hypocrisy when it comes to the death of children?

In Oklahoma City, it was family convenience that explained the presence of a day care center placed between street level and the law enforcement agencies which occupied the upper floors of the building. Yet when discussion shifts to Iraq, any day care center in a government building instantly becomes "a shield." Think about that. (Actually there is a difference here. The administration has admitted to knowledge of the presence of children in or near Iraqi government buildings, yet they still proceed with their plans to bomb - saying that they cannot be held responsible if children die. There is no such proof, however, that knowledge of the presence of children existed in relation to the Oklahoma City bombing.)

When considering morality and "men's rea" (criminal intent) in light of these facts, I ask: Who are the true barbarians? Yet another example of this nations blatant hypocrisy is revealed by the polls which suggest that this nation is greatly in favor of bombing Iraq. In this instance, the people of the nation approve of bombing government employees because they are "guilty by association" - they are Iraqi government employees. In regard to the bombing in Oklahoma City, however, such logic is condemned. What motivated these seemingly contradictory positions? Do people think that government workers in Iraq are any less human that those in Oklahoma City? Do they think that Iraqis don't have families who will grieve and mourn the loss of their loved ones? In this context, do people come to believe that the killing of foreigners is somehow different that the killing of Americans?

I recently read of an arrest in New York City where possession of a mere pipe bomb was charged as possession of a "weapon of mass destruction." If a two-pound pipe bomb is a "weapon of mass destruction," then what do people think that a 2,000-pound steel-encased bomb is? I find it ironic, to say the least, that one of the aircraft that could be used to drop such a bomb on Iraq is dubbed "The Spirit of Oklahoma." This leads me to a final, and unspoken, moral hypocrisy regarding the use of weapons of mass destruction. When a U.S. plane or cruise missile is used to bring destruction to a foreign people, this nation rewards the bombers with applause and praise. What a convenient way to absolve these killers of any responsibility for the destruction they leave in their wake. Unfortunately, the morality of killing is not so superficial. The truth is, the use of a truck, a plane, or a missile for the delivery of a weapon of mass destruction does not alter the nature of the act itself. These are weapons of mass destruction - and the method of delivery matters little to those on the receiving end of such weapons.

Whether you wish to admit it or not, when you approve, morally, or the bombing of foreign targets by the U.S. military, you are approving of acts morally equivalent to to the bombing in Oklahoma City. The only difference is that this nation is not going to see any foreign causalities appear on the cover of Newsweek magazine. It seems ironic and hypocritical that an act as viciously condemned in Oklahoma City is not a "justified" response to a problem in a foreign land. Then again, the history of the United States policy over the last century. when examined fully, tends to exemplify hypocrisy.

When considering the use of weapons of mass destruction against Iraq as a means to an end, it would be wise to remember the words of the late U.S. Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis. His words are as true in the context of Olmstead as they are when they stand alone: "Our government is the potent, the omnipresent teacher. For good or ill, it teaches the whole people by it's example."

Sincerely,

Timothy J. McVeigh

A Few Other Quotes To Consider:

"The government is afraid of the guns people have because they have control of the people at all times. Once you take away the guns, you can do anything to the people."

"I believe there are many checks and balances built into our system of government. However, I think many of them have been circumvented and right now you have an arrogance of attitude, an omnipotent attitude. An example would be property seizure, asset seizure. If it's unjustified, what do you have to do to get the stuff back? You have to sue. They know that people don't have the money to sue the federal government, to go up against their unlimited resources? I think another aspect to that has to do with to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their powers from the consent of the governed. Their just powers. I believe we've lost track of what the just power of the federal government is and what it is not. There are too many things that are being given to a democracy that shouldn't be the subject of a vote, that are inalienable rights that are not to be decided by a central government.

Distributed Proofreaders provides a web-based method to ease the conversion of Public Domain books into e-books.

2009-02-10T23:18:00.000-08:00

By dividing the workload into individual pages, many volunteers can work on a book at the same time, which significantly speeds up the creation process.

During proofreading, volunteers are presented with a scanned page image and the corresponding OCR text on a single web page. This allows the text to be easily compared to the image, proofread, and sent back to the site. A second volunteer is then presented with the first volunteer's work and the same page image, verifies and corrects the work as necessary, and submits it back to the site. The book then similarly progresses through two formatting rounds using the same web interface.

Once all the pages have completed these steps, a post-processor carefully assembles them into an e-book, optionally makes it available to interested parties for 'smooth reading', and submits it to the Project Gutenberg archive.

Bill Moyers interviews investigative journalist Jeremy Scahill about Blackwater -- in this clip Scahill tells the incredible story of armed Blackwater troops being sent into New Orleans on the order of Blackwater CEO Erik Prince in the aftermath of Katrina.

Bill Moyers Journal, airing Friday, October 19th at 9 on PBS, examines what's behind Prince's recent blitz of television interviews defending his private security firm when officials in Iraq said they wanted the company out of their country in the wake of the shooting deaths of Iraqi civilians on September 16. Scahill is the author of the bestselling book: Blackwater: The Rise of the World's Most Powerful Mercenary Army.

Child Support Enforcement reform news- Ohio

Ohio Child Support Deputy Director Fired

You may recall "Joe the Plumber" - made famous in the presidential election for his comments about the presidential campaigns. This past week the Director of Ohio Jobs and Family Services Department resigned and the Deputy Director of Child Support Enforcement was fired over improper use of state computer systems for attempting to 'dig dirt' on Joe. Thanks to Matt Dunlop for sending this article.

And now the state prosecutor is asking questions....

Ohio is the same state where earlier this year R&B singer Sean Levert died in prison one week after being incarcerated for non-payment of child support. Six children were left fatherless as a result. Ohio incarcerates thousands of indigent men each year for non-payment. Ohio also considered it a great idea to run fathers pictures on pizza boxes and encourage pizza lovers everywhere to phone the state tip line with leads on where those pictured might be found.

We appreciate Ohio Representative Ted Celeste's courage in sponsoring legislation which prohibits the use of incarceration as an option to coerce payment from people who have no demonstrated ability to pay. Governor Ted Strickland indicated he will sign a bill tightening access to citizen's confidential data files.

On Fathers Day this past June President Elect Barack O'Bama had some harsh words for men. He also noted the benefits to children when Fathers remain active participants in their kids lives. As we approach the swearing in of our nations next president we will continue to work with public officials across various sectors of society to improve family law and maximize both parents involvement regardless of the their current marital status.

Thanks to all of you who are working for Shared Parenting, we are making progress.

Sincerely,

Parallel Universes - BBC documentary - Part 1

2008-02-21T12:51:00.000-08:00

"Everything you're about to read here seems impossible and insane, beyond science fiction, but its true"

Scientists now believe there may really be a parallel universe - in fact, there may be an infinite number of parallel universes, and we just happen to live in one of them. These other universes contain space, time and strange forms of exotic matter. Some of them may even contain you, in a slightly different form. Astonishingly, scientists believe that these parallel universes exist less than one millimetre away from us. In fact, our gravity is just a weak signal leaking out of another universe into ours.
