> Cindy Sheehan: "The Secret Service is Trying to Intimidate Us"
8 August 2005, 20:07
I sincerely applaud Cindy Sheehan for expressing her US Constitutional, American rights to criticize the administration over her sons tragic death at the age of 24 as he courageously volunteeed to defend the USA while serving in Iraq. Americans supported and protested against our president, vice-president and others from the PNAC (Project For A New American Century) whenever they formed their policy to exert American military might as the age of Peak Oil comes into being. We citizens were all told exactly what was needed and shown by the horrific events of 9/11/01 to inflame us into fighting for our ’way of life’ as it became endangered by ’terrorists’ from cells showing up around the world. I fully support Cindy Sheehans ’change of heart’ as she has confronted the growing reality that this ’War on Terror’ is really about our declining global supplies of hydrocarbons over the next 50 to 100 years. Perhaps we would have all gone along with a plan to protect our way of life if we were told the truth about our reasons for attacking Iraq, simply that we need to control oil supplies if we are to maintain a future for capitalism to flourish in and expand.
There can be no doubt, if one reads, Crossing The Rubicon, written by Michael C. Ruppert, that we certainly do face rather significant issues with regards to energy supplies and hydrocarbons. These problems will most likely only worsen as China, India, and Indonesia increase their energy needs. I for one see no easy way out of this scenario where as we use our military might to protect and strengthen our access to oil for many years to come. We are not as ignorant and sheep-ish as some think-tank types would perhaps like to believe. It is just ashame they continue to tout the line of ’staying the course’ which I am so sick of hearing, all the while that course is constantly mired in deceptive language, never fully explaining the true nature of our problem. It is that lack of sincerity from our leaders that could very well have changed Cindy Sheehan from supporting her sons enlistment to one of disillusionment at the outright lies that have accompanied our present state of being. I am sure she loves her country as much if not more than the average American. She has the wounds of loss to show for her devotion. Let her protest as she sees fit in the name of her fallen, heroic son. Support her and lend her an ear. She is after all, one of us, a PATRIOTIC American who wants other mothers and fathers to not have to suffer as she has.
