Wake Up Call For America

Wake
Up Call For America

by
Paul Balles

I’m tired of
politics, of the injustices, the corruption, the assassinations, the gross
illegal behaviour of the strong, the plundering of the poor and the indignities
wrought on the weak.

While decent, working
people lose their homes, thanks to Wall Street’s Ponzi schemes, the market
manipulators pay themselves outrageous million-dollar salaries and bonuses.

Millions of children go
hungry as the war-mongering U.S. Senate crusaders groan and gasp that not
enough is spent (wasted) on military interventions around the world.

According to a Pentagon
report, the U.S. notorious Guantanamo Bay prison in Cuba, dubbed the most
expensive jail on earth, costs Americans some $903,614 annually per prisoner.

Meanwhile millions of
children in urban America, urban South America, urban Africa and urban Asia
starve while 150 million dollars annually is spent operating Guantanamo.

In a New York Times article, Scott Shane
cited an independent review of interrogation and detention that says “it is
indisputable that the United States engaged in the practice of torture and that
the nation’s highest officials bore ultimate responsibility for it.”

Reported Shane “The
C.I.A. not only water-boarded prisoners, but slammed them into walls, chained
them in uncomfortable positions for hours, stripped them of clothing and kept
them awake for days on end.”

Celebrated human rights
organizations blabber their disapproval and nobody listens, nobody cares,
nobody acts.

Nothing changes except
the rich who get richer, and the prisoners in Guantanamo starve themselves to
death and would rather die than remain innocents locked under threat of
enhanced interrogation.

Politically
disenfranchised children waste away without medical care or food while the U,S,
government gladly pours billions of dollars into Israel’s military coffers.

America’s current
agreement elevated Israel’s annual grant aid from $2.4 billion to $3.1 billion,
and Israeli officials expect the follow-on package to provide incremental
boosts to nearly $4 billion per year.

Eight thousand
structurally deficient bridges in America need urgent repair and maintenance.
While ignoring the dire infra-structure needs, American politicians make
overtures to buy drones to spy on the public.

During the Occupy Wall
Street activism in the U.S., hundreds of journalists and people with cell-phone
cameras were arrested for photographing the actions of police.

I’ve said previously,
Americans are ignorant–not stupid but ignorant. They’ve been dumbed down in the
schools and at home by the media.

They go off to fight wars
in places they’ve never heard of. They don’t know more than one language; and
some don’t know that.

When they discover
they’re going to fight Arabs, their minds respond to the brain washing they get
from Islamophobic films they watch at home. Anyone who has read Jack Shaheen’s Reel Bad Arabs knows that the media has
twisted many ignorant American minds.

Not long ago I wrote an
article on how Americans love violence. I mentioned part of that comes from the
violent films they watch, even down to Tom and Jerry cartoons.

In a letter to the
editor, one American wrote “Violence is not actively taught in America nor is
it the result of cartoons–the same cartoons are available worldwide.”

He forgot to connect gun
violence in American films with the availability and popularity of guns in
America (and anywhere else America is supplying arms).

The National Rifle
Association has played its prime terrorist message on two fronts: to the bought
Congress who fear the loss of votes and funding, and the public frightened that
the government will bring the military down on them.

Wake up America! Stop the
injustices! End the corruption! Make politics a patriot’s joy for people like
me.
