Zgram - Where Truth is Destiny:  Now more than ever!

December 9, 2003

Good Morning from the Zundelsite:

This letter was addressed to me, dated November 13, 2003:

[START]

Time flies.  I have been in prison already over 9 months and banned 
from the U.S. on the 17th of November for 9 months already.  So it is 
only 19 years and 3 months before I can ask to get a visa to visit 
you in Tennessee!

Looked at it from that angle, the situation is really like a page out 
of one of those nightmare novels of Franz Kafka, the Jewish-Czech 
weirdo who made a name for himself by parading his mental illness 
around as if it was a mark of genius - a trick many have used. 

Yesterday, I met with [one of my attorneys]. It is important that you 
be sent from them a copy of my affidavit on this chicanery we have 
discovered.  It's even more shocking proof of corruption and 
wrong-doing at the highest levels than we have discovered in the U.S. 
via our Freedom of Information Act there.

Forty years ago, a Canadian of Norwegian descent, whose father was 
wealthy and well-connected with the Industrial/Military Complex in 
Canada in WWI and WWII, told me that the Canadian elite was far more 
corrupt than the U.S. elite - only they were far more skilled at 
keeping a lid on their corruption because their control over Canadian 
society was far more [extensive].  He recounted to me of how his 
father would frequently travel to Ottawa during WWI by train, 
carrying hundreds of thousands of dollars in attaché cases in cash to 
be given to the top ministers in order to obtain war contracts for 
their firms, such as munitions, uniforms, vehicles etc.  I have 
always kept that in the back of my mind when dealing with Canadian 
politicians, all their highfalutin' waterfall of words 
notwithstanding.  Many of them became enormously wealthy and 
influential on what used to be paltry sums of the salaries of an 
M.P., which in itself should have been a red flag for investigators. 
But then, as I have since found out with SIRC, the oversight bodies 
are the first ones to be captured or intimidated.

The now percolating-to-the-top corruption from the White House 
(Lyndon Johnson and Robert McNamara) on down the chain of command in 
the USS Liberty attack is proof positive of how the political and 
military as well as the judicial systems have been captured by 
outside forces detrimental to the country.  George Bush's (the 
father's) attempt to deal half-way fairly with the Israelis in and 
after Gulf War I is an illustration, if one more were needed, of the 
pressures on the top politicians in the White House.  Bush the 
Younger obviously must have thought that by surrounding himself with 
all these neo-con advisors, he could avoid his father's fate.  He 
miscalculated and finds himself, and America, in a far worse 
[situation] than his father ever did. 

When I read how strapped America is for resources, it is reminiscent 
of Germany's desperate manpower shortage at the end of WWII. 
Actually, America is in far worse shape because the population is so 
diverse and not accustomed to making many sacrifices.  Also, the 
people in the reserves are far less fit than our WWII men were. All 
the [reserves] know is that they were supposed to serve one weekend a 
month at some local barracks or armory.  Suddenly, they end up in a 
hell-hole like Iraq where the natives don't like them and take pot 
shots at them!  Basically what we see is the Roman Empire's 
experience repeated, and because American people have really not been 
taught any meaningful history, they have absolutely no frame of 
reference.  Thus, they are repeating Rome's mistakes. The study of 
history is helpful.

There is the story of an American with a Scottish name in Newsweek 
who was given 48 hours to get his affairs ready before being shipped 
off to Iraq.  He had a computer company with 55 employees.  He lost 
his business, and 55 people, plus their families, lost their income. 
Undoubtedly, some will lose their cars, homes, careers.  Everybody's 
lives will be disrupted.  For what?

I know how tough it is to build up a business.  It takes years.  And 
I bet there are hundreds, maybe thousands of similar human tragedies 
that the eggheads and neo-cons never think about because they could 
not care less.  The people who have to do the fighting, and the 
dying, in those hell-holes of Iraq, soon Syria and Iran as well as 
Afghanistan, are to them just "collateral damage", expendable 
"hardware" like broken down jeeps and trucks.  Military planners use 
them like so many throw-away, short shelf-life gadgets and gizmos.

There is one other danger that I foresee for America, especially in 
this war.  Again, anyone studying Roman history will be keenly alert 
to this.  Many of the soldiers are Hispanics from the barrios of 
Oakland, San Diego, Los Angeles etc.  One unit is the Puerto Rico 
National Guard.  Others are clearly the young Blacks from the ghettos 
of Detroit, Harlem, and other cities.  These boys think, like many 
Canadians thought in WWII, that they will join the Armed Forces for 
an easy life - "three hots and a flop" - and walk away after 20 years 
with a lifetime pension.  Suddenly, they find themselves shipped to 
the far corners of the world and pressed into service fighting in an 
urban war, a guerrilla war, where the Rules of Engagement seem to be 
that, in order to keep casualties down, to shoot at anything 
suspicious - [civilian] men, women, children, since there is no 
longer an Iraqi army to fight or soldiers in uniform to shoot at.  To 
these scared-out-of-their-wits young, urban ghetto dwellers, this is 
like drive-by shootings and gang warfare at home.  The rule there is 
to stay out of the crossfire, shoot first, and ask questions later. 
The effect on these soldiers will be like the effects the Israeli 
soldiers are reporting from their occupation duty in Gaza, Jenin, on 
the West Bank.  A whole army, an entire generation is brutalized. 
Once brutalized, their psyches traumatized, they [will] turn on their 
wives, children, co-workers.  In short, they become a threat to their 
own societies.  Increasingly, brutal crimes of violence will result. 
That's the stage we are now at in America.  Rome learned that lesson 
too late. 

The Roman Republic quickly gave way to an empire. The once 
aristocratic, all-white, chosen from the nobility Roman legions were 
filled by ever lower IQ elements from the far corners of the empire 
and the slums of Rome.  Soon there were rebellions.  Generals became 
prominent in politics.  Their "legions" became private enforcer 
armies - and Rome changed [irrevocably].

One of the wild cards and imponderables are the effects of drugs and 
drug money on the developments in America.  I see a threat to the 
integrity, meaning the territorial cohesion and unity of America, 
arising out of these current overseas military empire adventures, 
because these hundreds of thousands of often colored troops are going 
to come home, as their tours of duty are over in those distant 
theaters of war.  They will have gotten used to the idea that they 
can rape, rob, loot, burn, bust and kill civilians of all ages.  That 
will be the legacy of these ill-advised foreign excursions. History 
records it for every empire.  Always.

I predict, to my sorrow, a similar scenario for America.  The Senate 
and Congress are already bought and sold to the richest, most 
powerful lobbies.  As we speak, treason reigns.  Senators and 
Congressmen sign petitions and letters of support to a foreign 
government by overwhelming majorities, to the detriment of their own 
country, [thereby] paralyzing the Executive Branch by a threat, ever 
present since the 1970s, of an implied legislative insurrection. 

When Bush the Father was unwilling to sign the $10 billion loan 
guarantee for Israel in 1991-92, Congress was going to override his 
threatened veto - and he caved in.  Now, with the neo-cons 
everywhere, things are far worse than they were ten years ago in and 
for America. 

What are mere street gangs today will very quickly devolve into 
private armies, armed with the latest weaponry.  Drug lords, based 
along ethnic affiliation [will result].  That is only one small step 
from the nucleus of an ideology or race-based guerrilla army.

That's the danger I foresee for this generation.  Since the National 
Guard, state and city police forces are totally integrated, there 
will be internal division, paralysis - and disaster on a Roman scale 
looms ahead in 4-6-10 years, if it is not checked.  Now!
