2003, GBRhynes007-2, President George W. Bush, Congress, Media, and others across the nation (My Consolidated Opinions)

SENT TO PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH, VICE PRESIDENT, CONGRESS, SENATE, NEWS MEDIA WHITEOUT MACHINES AND BEYOND. AN ACKNOLEDGEMENT WAS RECEIVED FROM THE VICE PRESIDENT CHENEY. PUBLISHED AND POSTED IN 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, (Consolidated after Mass media refuse to publish anything negative against plans to go into IRAQ!

SUBJECT: THE HEART BEAT OF AMERICA,IRAQ AND 911

It is evident that the White House media and the Media at large in America keep Mr. Bush critic’s at bay. His strong ties to the cooperate establishments have allowed him to travel smoothly through all the ills that plaques our economy and image around the world. The Democratic Party seems powerless against the Bush protectors in the controlled mass media.

- Mr. Bush refuses to listen to the voices of the American people, and millions of others around the world. He defiantly turned his noise up at (NATO), North Atlantic Treaty Organization, possibly weakening it for decades to come. Recently he refused to take questions from certain members of the press. This proves that the rights of ordinary American citizens are slipping into the sunset of a by gone era. The mass media, large cooperation’s, including the Valdosta Daily times (VDT) refuses to publish editorials and opinions against war with Iraq. After submitting several concerning (Senator Trent Lott), (affirmative action), (the biases in the media), (the cause of 911), (why are they mad at us), (the cost of war with Iraq), (Mr. Bush listen to the American people), (where are the Christians voices), (Judge Estrada Nomination), (censorship is alive and well in American), and (a memorial celebration honoring Rev Martin Luther King Jr.,) However, not one of controversial nature was published by our local newspaper. As a member of several local organizations including the local NAACP, many citizens have had their editorials and opinions discarded by our local paper.

- Further, Mr. George Bush speaks through the media and tells us to be patriotic, support the troops, while our active duty soldiers, airmen, marines, sailors and national guards are living on welfare. While many of our politicians live in luxury, give lip service to our sons and daughters on active duty, and retired disabled veterans. President Bush’s last two speeches, and Secretary of State Colon Powell before the united nations seems to indicate that both are suffering from deceptive intelligence, and intoxicated with an imperialist disorder. However, because censorship is alive and well in America the mass media blocks all negativity and most Americans never see the deception. Moreover, the gravity of our present reality in America seems to support our present administration, without question. We are told to just support your government, be patriotic, help eliminate weapons of mass destruction, he gassed his own people and he is a threat to his neighbors. However, no real convincing proof or evidence is presented concerning Iraq’s involvement with 911, to the American People.

- Our president has refused to tell the American People that our government provided weapons to the Iraqi regime. Jesus said, if the blind leads the blind then both shall fall into the ditch. Therefore, the American people must educate themselves, make full use of the World Wide Web (Internet), and visit “Project for a new American Century,” and Reese.com. I did, and was frightened by the information contained there. It reveals that President Bush, Vice President Dick Chaney had planned to invade Iraq prior to taking office in 2001.

- Deceptive intelligence makes leaders become arrogant when confronting foreign nations. It gives a false sense of superiority and domination. However, history tells us that nations, kingdoms, and civilizations much greater than ours crumbled on the world stage because of arrogance and a hardened heart. They just vanished without warning, and not even a pebble on the beach remained, nor a blimp on the radar screen of time. So Mr. Bush should choose peace over war, love over bloodshed, humility over arrogance and life over death. The sun shines too bright today, to be blinded by oil, and the urgency of now to dominate and control the wealth of another sovereign nation. What a sad, sad day in American history, when our mass media outlets seems to be in bed with censorship, the rich and the famous. Thereby, deserting the American people in their greatest hour of need---for truth.

- The main stream media and cooperate America seems unable to understand that the same censorship being used----on the American people, will soon be knocking on their door. Then they will want to report our editorials, opinions and tell our stories, but because they failed in their responsibility to this country and the American people. They will have cut off their own hands and thereby closing the door of their own press. Therefore, as they have done to others, so shall it be done unto them (Gal 6:7).

- On 15 February 2003, on the court house steps here in Valdosta, Georgia many young people from Valdosta State University (VSU) met in solidarity against war with Iraq, but in support of our troops. However, the (VDT) did not report the event. There seem to be a united national front to keep the American people ignorant to the real issues concerning war with Iraq. In the 1960’s Rev Martin Luther King Jr., said that the media was unfair in its reporting of the Vietnam War. And to this very day, letters to the editor’s and guess columns of a controversial nature are overly scrutinized, changed, watered down, or totally ignored by the mass media.

- There are two important unanswered questions, why Iraq, and why now? Therefore, why should we be heading off to war against Iraq, traveling an auto-bond highway of miss-information, and censorship? The media will spend more time covering a cat trapped in a tree. Than covering individuals trapped in a system of discrimination, poverty, police brutality, unemployment and in despair. The media refuse to tell the American people that an invasion and occupation alone in Iraq could cost $1.9 Trillion. In addition, another $80 Million to maintain inspectors in Iraq, with a $30 Billion budged deficit estimated for 2004, not including a sustained war, and over 300.000 solders will be required for invasion.

- If America invade Iraq, America could become the New Middle East filled with terror, suicide bombings, and the life we know could disappear forever. Greater nations have fallen, by a little change in nature. No one is immune to the fate of humpty-dumpty. On the world stage, our retired, disabled veterans cannot get chiropractic care, no free dental care. They must wait seven months to see a doctor at a Veterans Hospital. They are required to pay co-payments for medicine; they must pay for tri-care benefits for dependents. They do not get free life insurance, no free burial even—if killed in combat. A portion of retired veterans earned retirement is taken---if disabled. Many veterans are homeless living in poverty, and their homes are in foreclosure. In civilian life, College graduates are working in fast food restaurants because of a bad and sagging economy.

- The democrats are straddling the fence, and have buried their head in the sand like the legend concerning the ostrich bird. We are watching them, but they cannot see us, but we are here. The mass media along with cooperate America would that we shut up and vanish into the wind. However, it is a new day, it is a new time, and we see a new Jesus, a new mosses, and a new Mohammed. Sitting on the mountaintop shaking hands with each other, and communicating with Rev Martin Luther King Jr., along with others who traveled that great line of divine.

- However, if one opposes war with Iraq, they are labeled unpatriotic. Jesus was said to be unpatriotic --- to the government of his day. However, history records that he was in the right mix. The voices of individuals citizens and their constitutional rights are eroding into oblivion, while politicians condemn foreign nations, for denying their citizens civil and human rights. America should listen to its own citizen. Our young intellectuals are speaking out through their rap songs----with clarity. That this government and mass media has failed tremendously to listen to them and tell their story.

- Our media is a powerful tool and it can either elevate or stupefy the masses. It seems to indoctrinate, dominate and coordinate the agenda of the two major political parties----so there can be no real opposition. Therefore, “we the people” must liberate ourselves and understand that certification and education are two different things. The news media and the cooperate establishment---uses miss-information as a tool to desensitize the American people to independent thought.

Therefore, we must realize that the best news and research is that which we gather for ourselves. The American people must never compromise the integrity of the constitution. Nor, should we willingly give up our rights of free speech, and freedom of the press. Because too many of our fellow citizens suffered, bled, and died to maintain these sacred rights? America’s true patriots, are those who will expand their mind, vision, compassion, and reach out beyond liberal, and conservative, Christians, Muslim, Jew, gentile rich, and poor.

- If America is to progress, we must go pass the right wing, reach over the left, and embrace love, unity, justice, equality, and human dignity for all people. Should there be extra terrestrials out in space, we must seek to love them to. Otherwise, we may not remain the great morale superpower---we are today.

- When one is trapped in a burning house, automobile, or when one’s child is drowning, it make little or no difference of party affiliation, conservative or liberal, white supremacists or black supremacists. On the battlefield of time, these small insignificant things diminish into the sunset of the immediate good of a nation, people and world. At death, the earth opens up, and receives, both liberal and conservative without debate or question. All human beings can learn something from the earth diversity in acceptance. Then America, will truly become one nation under God, indivisible with liberty, and justice for all.

- Today we ask where are the Christian voices in America. Why can’t their theologians be heard, as America stands on the threshold of war? Jesus, stood upon his theology, and paid the ultimate price. Prior to his death, he gave the world a rule, and guide to live by. Except your righteousness, shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees. Except you, (America) love your enemies and do good to them that hate you. How can thou say to the brother, let me pull out the mote of thine eye (Iraq), and behold a beam is in thine own eye (America). This country should look at African Americans and learn the patients of a great people. Their ancestors passed on the history of their ancestors who were lynched, and by whom. This nation should be thankful to God that this nation is still a Republic. For if God had not restrained people of color from attacking “The Axis of Evil” with evil---this nation may have fallen from within.

- A great prophet of our times (Rev Martin Luther King JR) once said: “We’re not going to win this battle of hate and terror by hating other folks. Hate doesn’t help the hater and it doesn’t help the person who hates. There is something about hate that hurts the hater. Somebody must have the power to transform through love. You just hate somebody and you are as uncomfortable and as frustrated as the person you are hating. There is something about hate that keeps you from walking straight; something about hate that keeps you from standing up straight. And when you hate you can’t see straight. When you hate, you lose your power of objectivity. When you hate somebody, you can’t see them. When you hate strong enough, the ugly becomes beautiful and the beautiful becomes ugly. A good speech becomes a bad speech, and a bad speech becomes a good speech. When you hate strong enough, hair pins begin to sell for $1,000.00 and diamond rings for 5 cents, because that’s a wrong price tag on things. There is something about hate that does something to the hater and so our way must be a way of love.” Hate is a weapon of mass destruction---so don’t participate, and it will destroy itself. [G.B.R.]

- Mr. Bush, have you considered that America possess weapons of mass destruction? North Korea, Israel, China, India, and other nations possess weapons of mass destruction. Iraq is a sovereign nation and should be liberated by its own people. Mr. Bush, who ordained America to be a sort of policeman of the whole world, while her own house is falling down around her economically? Somewhere I read that if a man does not provide for his own house that he is worst than an infidel.

- The billions of dollars, we are spending on bombs, and weapons of mass destruction to destroy human life in Iraq, is a disgrace to the morale consciousness of our nation. So let us turn our weapons of war, and fangs of a one sided media into plowshares, and less meet the needs of the living. Mr. Bush, and his circle of advisors, must understand that this is the real work of peacemakers, and the righteousness, of a God fearing nation.

On 911, America experienced a great tragedy and all human beings mourned except those with distorted mental vision. America should have asked what drove those men to commit such acts against our nation. Intellectuals, politicians, the clergy, and the president should have asked questions following that sad and dreadful day in our history. What have we done, to create such hatred, perceived or real in the hearts of men---- that would volunteer to go on suicide missions against us. Is it our foreign policy towards Israel, Palestine, and third world nations or is it because people feel sympathetic towards the rock slinging defenseless Palestinians. America must ask herself, are we seen as peacemakers around the world. For every action we make there is a reaction.

- If we are the patriotic guardian angels of this Republic, then we must expand our minds, visions, compassion, and reach out beyond denomination, liberal, conservative, and independent. Otherwise, we may not remain the great moral superpower---we are in the world today. And as we prepare for war with Iraq, how should we pray? Should we pray that the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob bring sorrow, grief, bloodshed, death and destruction to the people of Iraq. While Iraq and their allies pray to that same God to destroy our sons and daughters in battle.

- As a God-fearing nation, should we not ask? How will a just God receive our prayers? Will he exalt some of his children above others or will he permit freedom of choice and watch nations slaughter one another in his “Holy Name” because they failed to heed the words of the prophets, and the Messiah Jesus, “Love thy neighbor as you love yourself?” I pray that the human family heeds the call of love, or we all may perish and die as fools. Somebody must have the courage to speak truth to power. In addition, somebody must be bold, and courageous enough to publish it --- and not side step the real issues of the day. Because only truth will set us, free --- as a people and nation.

LASTLY: Place this on the hard drive of your own mind, within your own head. If America hate others, as they hate us, then we too become blind and cannot lead others to the eternal light. In addition, we lose---our balance and fall from a living perpendicular, to a horizontal dead level, and cannot be resurrected. Therefore, America must be the drum major for peace, love, righteousness and reason --- not war. If America is to walk the morale high ground of respectability in the 21st Century, she must follow the blue print laid down by God Almighty. In the bible, Satan directed human crafts into God “twin Towers” called love and obedience. Adam and Eve were the craft Satan used to crash into God “twin Towers.” However, God as the first and last infinite super power did not label them the “axis of evil,” and ordered air strikes against them using smart bombs, designed by dumb men, sent on dumb missions, to achieve dumb results, for dumb politicians. And dumb money hungry corporate elite’s, walking around with a dumb head on their dumb body, convincing dumb people, in mass media that they are Christians. Yet unable to recognize that they themselves are suffering from deceptive intelligence. Something that is more dangerous to themselves, and our nation than the bomb dropped on Hiroshima in Japan.

- In the predawn reality of man existence, God asked Adam and Eve in the cool of the evening. Why did you do it? Why did you crash into my twin towers of love and obedience? God asked the right questions, and by God asking the right questions --- he created an environment of reason, love, compassion, and understanding. In the final analysis, man by God permission, was allowed to reproduce himself into the future. America must lay down her weapons of war. Lay down white supremacy, lay down black supremacy, lay down your arrogance, lay them all down, or God will set America down. Then set up another nation who don’t even know his name? This is according to the Volume of Sacred Law, the book we say we believe in. From the dawn of time, God has always given man a choice, and a chance! The choice is yours America, the choice is mine, let us use the time remaining wisely, to construct and not destruct.

- So let this become the motto of the willing, and the righteous. That we will either learn how to live together as brothers and sisters or we will all perish and die as fools. Peace today, peace tomorrow, peace forever! God, bless America, and the brotherhood of Humanity. Peace, from sea, to shinning sea!
