The Cost of War
By C. E. Carlson

Is the War on Terrorism a Boom for the Economy or a Financial Disaster in Disguise?

In our October 2000 story, "THE LESSER OF TWO EVILS," We Hold These Truths described what Americans could expect from G. W. Bush in the White House. After Day911 President Bush broke all popularity records.

Some Americans now see their IRA's melt away in the stock market while the costs of groceries, postage, taxes, and just about everything else, escalates. Perhaps it is time to examine if the "War on Terrorism," is the bargain we were told, and what alternatives are available.

We will begin with a review of what We Hold These Truths said about the candidate George W. Bush, before he became our President. The following are quotes from our own pre-election evaluation of candidate Bush. -- Editor

WE WROTE:
"We will examine briefly those who control this, the most manipulable and malleable likely-to-be-President ever to hold such vast power."

And, "His is also likely to be a planned one-term president for reasons to be discussed in future editions. What is vital to discuss is to whom he owes his allegiance."

And, "There is nothing incompetent or undecided about Bush's advisors. Baby Bush is already surrounded by powerful and ambitious men, most of whom shaped his father's Gulf War-making administration. And unfortunately there is absolutely nothing in George W. Bush's character that suggests he will resist, or even understand the nature of the evil he will be asked to pronounce upon those who they envy and hate."

And, "His Vice-President, Richard Cheney, was Papa Bush's Secretary of Defense during Desert Storm, and James Baker, who has been a prominent spokesman for George W. Bush during the Florida vote count fiasco, was on Papa Bush's war team as head of the White House Staff. Dr. Robert Blackwill was a State Department Assistant to both Kissinger and George Schultz, so his allegiances can hardly be doubted. Richard Armitage also is a veteran of Papa Bush team and was an Assistant Secretary of State in 1983-89."

And, "Baby Bush has now announced that Warmaker Colin Powell will be his Secretary of State to replace Madeline Albright. Powell was chief executioner of some 150,000 nearly defenseless Iraqis in the Gulf War, as Papa Bush's Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff."

And, "As long as there is a Middle Eastern conflict in which Americans pay for the subjugation of the Palestinians, we will be drawn into other wars to destroy the Arab, as in Iraq. We taxpayers are the hired gun in Israel's War on Islam. Baby Bush stands to be used as a warmaking tool perhaps more brutally than Mr. Clinton was."
--End of quotes--

We Hold These Truth's prediction of a warmaking, controlled, one term President appears to be right on target. But the stock is market trembling uncontrollably and the once respected US Dollar is falling in almost every market in the world. It is in the dollar market where world opinion votes our government to be the giant bully over the entire globe. It is time we examine the inevitable price we must bear for maintaining serial war.

SHERRY'S WAR -- How Judeo-Christians mix and match scripture verses and the use of out of context added text to promote the Pop Church's "chosen people" and end times scenario. Sherry, and many well meaning, professed Christians have justified war against Arab people without a scrap of scriptural support and with little knowledge of the conflict. "Sherry's War" offers insight into current Christian sub-culture and why many have justified or ignored entirely the brutal assassinations of Islamic peoples simply because they are not Israelis or Christian. An introduction to WHTT's classic 20-page study by the same name; see Right To The Point Journal. Sherry's War is a must for every pastor, deacon, priest and cleric seeking the true nature of Judeo-Christianity. This Special Report comes with a 60-minute audiotape.
