The threat of Nuclear War has not diminshed.
The 21st century, instead
of ushering in an era of global peace and prosperity, has instead brought in
just the opposite.
We now live in times where the threat of regional and
global thermonuclear warfare is greater and more likely now than at any other
time in our history.
The people and institutions who promulgate and promote
this madness- the US Depts of War, Intellegence and the Defense Contractors and
Corporations who make billions in profit- are clinically INSANE and are black,
dark powers and principalities of EVIL who have no longer any place on this
planet. Their time is up, as they and their worldview and value system should
have died out completely 30 years ago!
The Bush Administration's 2003 Defense
Budget calls for an obscene $400 billion in military spending. By constrast,
this sum is greater than the combined total military budgets of the next 15
highest nations in defense spending in the world as referenced
below:
Countries______________Military Budget (in 2002 US$$ dollars):
2.
Russia..........................$60 Billion
3.
China...........................$42.0 Billion
4.
Japan...........................$40.4 Billion
5. United
Kingdom..................$34.0 Billion
6. Saudi
Arabia....................$27.2 Billion
7.
France..........................$25.3 Billion
8.
Germany.........................$21.0 Billion
9.
Brazil..........................$17.9 Billion
10.
India..........................$15.6 Billion
11.
Italy..........................$15.5 Billion
12. South
Korea....................$11.8 Billion
13.
Iran...........................$9.1 Billion
14.
Israel.........................$9.0 Billion
15.
Taiwan.........................$8.2 Billion
Meanwhile, nearly 17% of all
children in the USA live in poverty. 85% of US Public schools are in need of
upgrade and repair. By contrast, the US Federal Budget for Education in the USA
is only $81 billion.
Such priorities geared towards death and destruction
instead of towards life, liberty and enhancement of the human condition have
absolutely NO PLACE in an advanced/evolving human civilization for the 21st
century.
I urge ALL Americans to immediately Stop paying their taxes to the
US federal government, to confront (by force if necessary) the businesses and
corporations who are profiting from building the Global Gas Oven, and to throw
out of office all local, state and federal officials who are complicite in any
way shape or form with the Supreme Terrorists and Genocidal Maniacs who comprise
the US Military.
