Culture of Death, while others are buying the latest "toys" for Christmas

A Culture Of Death
By Judith Moriarty
9-3-7

No, Terri Schiavo did not go peacefully into the night. Terri died a horrific death of court-ordered starvation and dehydration. The Florida courts had sealed her death and the Supreme Court (too busy taking on Nicole Smith's case) refused to hear the parents' plea for their daughter's life. The facts of the case (read online) came down to an abusive 'husband' (living with another woman and the children they had) - kept Terri's parents (siblings) from taking their daughter (sister) home to minister to her in love. A sizable lawsuit settlement is certainly suspect. Terri was not on life support - she had no terminal disease. Terri's death is important in that she represents the culture of death we live in. With the drum beat sounding for euthanasia - 'death with dignity' - Terri represents the flawed, the disabled, those deemed too costly in a world of marathons, health spas, liposuction, face lifts, etc. She, and those in similar circumstances (the institutionalized - the elderly - accident victims - deformed etc), are rendered 'non-persons, units, useless eaters, better off dead'...just as those in distant lands who dare to reside in lands of great wealth (oil - gas - timber - water - minerals - gold). In a disposable world - we have disposable people. All the king's horses and all the king's men couldn't save Terri - nor all others who are targeted for being 'pushed off the wall'. "Water, water, everywhere and not a drop to drink" Father Pavone, who stayed at Terri's side (guarded by 3 policemen - least he give her communion or moisten her bleeding lips) points out man's depravity by his observations of looking at the bouquets (what a travesty) of flowers filled with water, within inches of Terri, in her final hours of "I Thirst".......... www.priestsforlife.org/euthanasia/terrisfinalhours.htm The buffonery of today's TV 'programming' invites insanity. Giggling 'newscasters' (polished plastic mouthpieces) report on a bear jumping in a swimming pool, a food fight in Spain - punctuated by commercials on how to become a skinny Trophy wife - and a hot dog eating contest (revolting scenes of mindless asses stuffing their faces). As the giggling stops, ever so briefly, the skeletal multitudes of Darfur, holding lifeless infants to withered breasts, has the latest starlet Ambassador (UN), in her LL Bean 'famine attire' - begging the world to donate for that bag of rice! A bag of rice! This is comparable to pissing in the ocean and expecting a tidal wave. What is not seen in her poignant plea (before she heads back to civilization and food) are the mammoth oil derricks and the thousands of weapons being delivered to the various factions (murder for hire) to keep up the ho-hum propaganda of civil strife. On the home front, the maimed, limbless, and mentally traumatized of war, are made to leap through a bureaucratic maze of hearings, and paper work to prove that being limbless, irreparably brain damaged, faceless (burns), etc, will in someway hinder them from re-entering society and living happily ever after. Not so, if you happen to belong to the select few who order rural youth, immigrants, family men/women, and ghetto youngsters to war amidst the backdrop of flags and stirring patriotic marching music. They and theirs, are afforded the best in medical care - rehabilitation- prescriptions - and specialty surgeries to ream out the fat of clogged arteries from good eating and slurping down their tumblers of Scotch celebrating the 'good life'. Breaking news announces the lewd act of foot tapping in an airport bathroom, with a commercial break, of an unemployed woman - voice quaking - relating how "I lost my job and my medical coverage. I didn't know how I am going to survive." Given no coverage are seniors eating in soup kitchens (some marked for demolition to build a memorial/garden), working as grocery store clerks, Home Depot Associates, Wal-mart Greeters (with oxygen) - janitors, etc, unable to retire due to rising taxes, rents, prescription costs (Congress stabbed them all in the back when it voted that affordable drugs from Canada be denied) fuel, food, insurance, etc. Not shown, are the hospitals and clinics closing, the shuttered mills, decaying auto plants, and abandoned farms. Not shown, is gentrification by disaster of the dispossessed, the meddlesome poor; so that Disney theme park tourist meccas, casinos, and convention centers, can possess these lands for 'profit'. These, and the hundreds of thousands, trapped in rat-infested, airless, despairing ghettos represent those locked in steerage aboard the unsinkable Titanic. Meantime, first class has jumped ship, to go fly fishing, relocate to Dubai, hunt in fenced preserves, golfing, and meeting in gilded boardrooms, or military bunkers to plot future conquests in a world of forever war. This future Utopia sees a global plantation made more manageable with a culling of the herd - cattle - useless eaters - collateral damage, acceptable risks, human resources - vermin, etc...those without names. "At present, the population of the world is increasing at about 58,000 per diem. War, so far, has had no very great effect on this increase, which continued throughout each of the world wars. War has hitherto been disappointing in this respect. But perhaps bacteriological war may prove effective. If a Black Death could spread throughout the world once in every generation, survivors could procreate freely without making the world too full. The state of affairs might be unpleasant, but what of it". --Bertrand Russell, 1951, The Impact of Science On Society. "AIDS and other diseases will be the COVER STORY for the decimation. The real causes will be starvation, contaminated water, toxic vaccines given to people who are already immune-suppressed, wars, and of course, stolen farmland. Through the World Health Organization inoculations were contaminated with HIV. The first program was in black Africa in 1974 via the smallpox inoculations. They then went to Brazil and other Hispanic countries. In 1978, they laced the gamma globulin for the Hepatitis B vaccine because the homosexual population was the greatest consumer. The vaccine was given to homosexually 'active' males in 8-10 key US cities. That's why it showed up first in the United States in the homosexual population and why it was claimed to be a 'homosexual' disease. Nothing could be further from the truth but it was something the Evangelists took up quickly, saying that AIDS was "God's curse on the homosexual." People didn't worry about it who weren't gay." --2003 Depopulation and HIV by Jon Rapport "My investigation proves that biological agents were not only developed and used in the Persian Gulf war, but that they are in fact part of the Global 2000 population downsizing program. The microbes will live almost indefinitely, but for a miniumum of seven years. It's on the gas masks, the clothing, the weapons - any materials brought back from the Gulf War." --The Resnick Interview with Ex- NSA Agent Joe Jordan "Every Sephardic Jewish child was to be given 35,000 times the maximum dose of x-rays through his head. For doing so, the American government paid the Israeli government 300 million Israeli liras a year. The entire Health budget was 60 million liras. The money paid by the Americans is equivalent to billions of dollars today. To fool the parents of the victims, the children were taken away on 'school trips' and their parents were later told the x-rays were a treatment for the scourge of scalpal ringworm. 6,000 of the children died shortly after their doses were given, while many of the rest developed cancers that killed thousands more over time. While living, the victims suffered from disorders such as epilepsy, amnesia, Alzheimer's disease, chronic headaches and psychosis. The film presents a historian who first gives a potted history of the eugenics movement. In a later sound bite, he declares that the ringworm operation, was a eugenics program aimed at weeding out the perceived weak strains of society. --August 19, 2004 Israel Ringworm and Radiation" "It was the residential 'schools' that constituted the death camps of the Canadian Holocaust, and within their walls nearly one-half of all aboriginal children sent there by law died, or disappeared, according to the government's own statistics. These 50,000 victims have vanished, as have their corpses - 'like they never existed', according to one survivor. But they did exist. They were innocent children and they were killed by beatings, and torture and after being deliberately exposed to tuberculosis and other diseases by paid employees of the churches and government, according to the 'Final Solution' master plan devised by the Department of Indian Affairs ad the Catholic and Protestant Churches." "With such official consent for manslaughter emanating from Ottawa, the churches responsible for annihilating natives on the ground felt emboldened and protected enough to declare full-scale war on non-Christian native peoples throughout the 20th century." --Hidden From History: The Canadian Holocaust by Rev. Kevin D. Annett, Ma, MDiv" "Denis Halliday, who resigned as assistant secretary general of the United Nations said, "We are waging a war through the United Nations on the people of Iraq. We're targeting civilians. Worse we're targeting children. What is this all about - because the policy of economic sanctions is destroying an entire society. Five thousand children are dying every month. I don't want to administer a program that satisfies the definition of genocide". Halliday's successor, Hans von Sponeck, another assistant secretary general, with more than 30 years' service, also resigned in protest. 'Deliberate strangulation' he called it. Neither was the fact that, up to July 2002, more than $5 billion worth of humanitarian supplies, which had been approved by the UN sanctions committee and paid for by Iraq, were blocked by George W. Bush with Blair's backing. They included food products, medicines and medical equipment, as well as items vital for water and sanitation, agricultural and education. The cost in lives was staggering. Between 1991 and 1998, reported UNICEF, 500,000 Iraqi children under the age of five died." --The Media Culpability for Iraq by John Pilger In the Mad Hatter's Tea Party, representing today's society, we have on the one hand, Amber Alerts, Danger Stranger, multiple vaccination programs, warnings of lead, buckle safety laws, car seats, helmet laws, tag outlawed on playgrounds, D.A.R.E programs, second hand smoke alerts, etc. All of this, and more, to supposedly protect the most vulnerable (children). On the other hand, we have abortion now used as a means of birth control; aborting the flawed, and even abortion for selective gender. Multitudes of children live in the shadow of chemical plants, toxic incinerators, coal plants, massive dumps, decaying tenements, toxic (FEMA) trailers, or in deplorable poverty - absent decent medical or dental care. We lament the tragedy of an insane dictator, and his (controversial, questioned, and unsuccessful -ed) annihilation of the Jewish people in occupied Europe in WWII, the gypsies, the homosexuals, the malformed, seniors, and the handicapped. 'Never Again' the cry rings out! We rise up in outrage, indignation and 'disgust', at the thought of a lewd, foot tapping incident in an airport, a sports star and his killing of dogs, animals being used for experiments, endangered owls, clear cutting of forests, etc. Meanwhile, we give a benign shrug to the 100 day - hacked and butchered to death - of nigh-on a million people (Rwanda) - the Bhopal poisoning - children sold as sex slaves - thousands of acres of wetlands/barrier islands, destroyed by oil/gas drilling in the Gulf (thus, the Katrina devastation) - and the expenditure of $200,000 a minute on war. Our 'Danger Stranger' doesn't extend to our investments of annihilating 'shock and awe' (meant to terrorize) weaponry; that shreds, shatters, melts, and ruptures, the internal organs of children (innocent citizens) caught up in generational warfare, that sets the children of one land (strangers to one another) against those of another - for conquest and billions in profits realized by the few. The killing of the 'stranger' - labeled and dehumanized as 'geek, gook, slant eyed, rag head, towel head, etc = marches forth with the tried and true theme of 'freedom - democracy - deliverance - and liberty'. Our 'disgust' is not extended to the horror of those caught up in village sweeps - who find themselves labeled as terrorist, tortured and then disappeared into the labyrinth of man's inhumanity to man. Our outrage doesn't march on the School of the Americas, in Georgia, where mercenaries are trained to return to their lands and kill their own people. Hearings in Washington, instead, address the use of steroids in today's gladiator sports! In the Matrix world of reality versus fantasy, ordinary citizens find it impossible to imagine a culture of death , that sees not only the identified enemy, but themselves as disposable. Perchance they are exposed to unimaginable horror (rape - torture - wanton killing - etc) they rest easier, when this is explained away as an aberration - an anomaly - the work of a few renegades. In the theater of daily warnings of fear - screaming hirelings on talk shows - random school shootings - murder - hordes of immigrants, coming to take their jobs (land) - the people find themselves confused, anxious, angry, suspicious, powerless and at times irrational. Others (TV programing) instructs them on whom to fear and what to think. It works. They can't imagine that they themselves are subject to a warped and psychotic mindset that sees them as mere human resources, cannon fodder, or the subject of experimentation: Hearings: Biological Testing Involving Human Subjects By the Department of Defense, 1977. Committee on Human Resources -United States Senate, Ninety Fifth Senate Excerpts: In 1975, the Senate Health Subcommittee learned of serious deficiencies in the Department of Defense's efforts to protect the human subjects of drug research. It was learned that consent forms were largely inadequate, that human experimentation review boards rarely met, that unwitting members of the civilian population had been test subjects and that the Food and Drug Administration had inappropriately given up its responsibility for assuring that drug test subjects were fully-protected. We have also learned, for the first time, the extent of the Department of Defense activities in biological warfare. Recent revelations of simulant open air testing in civilian areas have alarmed many people. Their concern extends beyond the safety or hazards presented by the test organisms, however, it goes to the heart of what a free society is all about. Should a democratic people cede to its Government the full responsibility of determining when secret tests on unwitting subjects are necessary to protect the Nation's security? There are some matters which are classified. Senator Schweiker: I was deeply disturbed by published reports that the Army had run tests in populated areas of the United States, apparently exposing large numbers of Americans to potentially dangerous substances. Many serious questions have been raised, particularly in regard to the biological simulant tests which have been widely reported in the press. Medical experts have told us that the Army was using simulant agents - live organisms which we know can infect human beings in places like the New York subway-system. There have been tests in my home state of Pennsylvania - in Mechanicsburg, in the Kittatinny and the Tusearora Tunnels on the Pennsylvania Turnpike and along Pennsylvania State Highway 16. Some experts have told me that the Army continued to use a certain bacterium long after it was known to cause infection. One thing seems clear: it is very risky indeed to assume that any living organism, reduced to germ warfare size and released in a populated area, is actually, theoretically, ever safe. If anti-crop and anti-animal agents are tested in the open air, how can we be certain that nothing will get into the food supply? It now appears that tests were performed all over the country and some tests were done by private contractors. I want to know what justification there was for this endangering of the public health and apparent disregard of individual human rights? My office has received a number of letters from people who want to know if our own Armed Forces, charged with protecting us, could have injured them or their loved ones through indiscriminate open-air testings with disease-producing agents. They do like like the idea that they have been guinea pigs in germ warfare experiments. The American people have a right to know what is going on around them. Edward Miller, Assistant Secretary of The Army for Research and Development. In August 1942, President Roosevelt approved the formation of the War Research Service, with George Merck, of the prominent Merck pharmaceutical firm, as its Director. In 1944, the War Department, specifically, the Chemical Warfare Service was assigned total responsibility for the U.S. Biological Weapons program. It became obvious that the U.S. was behind other nations in its chemical and biological warfare capabilities. General Augerson: "I think from a biological side, Senator, there is historical example of the deliberate use of blankets contaminated by smallpox during the French and Indian war where contaminated blankets were given to the Indians." Colonels Carruth: "The records indicate that there were 19 tests. Nineteen tests were conducted in public domain using biological simulants. I will make a distinction, Senator, between biological simulants and nonbiological materials for instance particles and other materials. There were 27 of those test conducted in the public domain. A test in San Francisco was done in 1950 involving both Serratia marcenscens and Bacillus globigii. Since they were simulants, we did not expect to find any effect on the human population." Senator Schweiker: "I have an article which appeared in the A.M.A. Archives of Internal Medicine in 1951, called Infected due to Chromobacteria, by Dr. Wheat and others. It calls the attention of the medical profession some 11 cases of infection with the SM organism, which is the same organism that you used in that test. The authors are reporting what they consider to be a very unusual numerical outbreak of SM infection in the hospital. One person died. Yet the Army kept on using this same material at least up through 1968. You ran these tests up through 1968, some 16 years after the Fort Detrick safety officer had determined he felt there was a serious problem and 17 years after the AMA article said they caused a death." Senator Schweiker: "It is my understanding with the San Francisco Bay test in September 1959, a series of monitoring stations were set up, and when the material was actually dumped in the ocean, aerosolized by the surf and blown inland which was the purpose of the project, to determine how effective the impact of an offensive weapon would be against the coast and that sources familiar with the testing procedure have indicated that the monitoring stations picked up the bacteria as far as 50 miles inland. I believe it was a Navy test." Source of above information : U.S. Government Printing Office- March and May 23-1977 The currently prevailing paradigm on populations probably derives from Garret Hardin's 'Tragedy of the Commons', introduced in a 1968 Science article. Hardin concluded rather loudly that humanity must be managed, particularly in its numbers. He likened uncontrolled populations to pollution and concluded: 'The only way we can preserve and nurture other and more precious freedoms is by relinquishing the freedom to breed - and that, very soon. Freedom is the recognition of necessity - and it is the role of education to reveal all the necessity of abandoning the freedom to breed. Only so, can we put an end to this aspect of the tragedy of the commons.' "When one dares to dig beneath the surface of government programs to reveal undisclosed purposes, he or she is usually met with charges of being 'paranoid' defender of 'conspiracy theories'. More often than not, such an accusation silences the questioners, as it is designed to do. I long ago came to the conclusion that those who chastise others for spouting 'conspiracy theories' tend to do so because they don't want the implications of their own schemes revealed to the public. 'Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain', intoned the Wizard of OZ, an admonition designed to intimidate the inquisitive into silence. Do Shakespeare's tragedies - almost all of which are grounded in conspiracies of one kind or another - have nothing to teach us about the machinations of human behavior? " "It is interesting to observe the psychological projection that takes place. The defenders of statism attack their critics as 'paranoids' while, at the same time, fostering an endless supply of 'enemies' against whom they promise us protection! Politics thrives on the mobilization of the fear of others. President Bush's unilateral declaration of a permanent war against the rest of the world can only be premised upon the most paranoid assumption that everyone else is involved in a conspiracy against American interests. This kind of thinking has produced the current Bush-induced mindset that when America bombs other countries - killing innocent men, women, and children in the process - it is a force for "good" defending freedom. When these other countries retaliate for such attacks - killing men, women and children in so doing - they represent the forces of 'evil' engaged in 'terrorism' . That grown men and women can internalize this kind of playground logic when the consequences are so deadly, is indeed frightening." --Butler Shaffer, Southwestern University School of Law And what of today - 30 years after hearings were held (nobody was held accountable) on biological testing of American citizens? Are we to believe - given the past secret testings, that everyone packed up their arsenal of toys and went home? With everything stamped CLASSIFIED - under the guise of national security - how would we ever know? These are the stories that are known - what of those still shrouded in secrecy? Experiments in prisons - institutions - the military, and on unsuspecting populations (Third World countries - U.S. citizens)? Has the world (from the UK - Australia - entire U.S. etc) gone collectively mad in its concern of turquoise blue skies being rendered overcast in a few hours with the criss-crossing of permanent chemtrails? Is the prevalence of respiratory distress - pneumonia - asthma attributable to this? How were past citizens made sick, to imagine that it was not an intruding enemy testing biologicals on them but their own government? It is not hard to imagine wizards of evil intent who see themselves as superior in every way, self-appointed gatekeepers, and architects of a global Utopia (absent billions). Money -privileged position and power etc, tends to warp rational minds. What is incomprehensible, is the multitudes - just following orders - who were (are) accomplices in the demise of their fellow citizens (hapless victims deemed inferior) - and ultimately themselves? For some, its obviously money (Ninja troops beating down those who protest war or draconian trade agreements) for others, a lust for power (however minuscule ), the greater good, a predisposition to psychotic behavior, indifference or fear? Evil assigns its killing to compliant-obedient minions, and watches from a distance. They (the minions) are as inconsequential, in the long run, as the those identified as the 'enemy - useless eaters - vermin - or pollution'. "It is time to say 'enough'! We have a responsibility to maintain the conditions upon which life may flourish on this planet, not to follow the madness of those who have no greater vision than to commit all of mankind to a state of universal and eternal warfare (indentured servitude -JM) in furtherance of their delusions. It is time for intelligence and human decency to transcend the frenzied jingoism now prevailing upon the land, and for intellectual honesty to expose the schemes of those who conspire against life itself." --Butler Shaffer, February 11, 2002.
