Tithing Mecca at The pump

There may be cynics that believe the President is infringing upon the separation of Church and State by signing the energy bill into law. With administration support Mr. Bush is continuing to train Americans to bow to Mecca at least five times a month, and more for volunteers by bending to put a gas nozzle in their auto’s tank. Tithes for King Abdullah are collected by cash, credit and debit machines at the pump.

If I recollect correctly Saudi Arabia is receiving about 200 million or more every day from the U.S.A., but what are the gas stations and other sales outlets receiving for handling the Saudi tribute? If one tries to make a purchase at many outlets of food or whatever the clerk very well might indignantly ask “No fuel!” One is virtually unpatriotic if independent from machine slave transporters for a short time. It is the era when skinny legged classes live at the top of the hill.

The trans-national policy cannot be to co-opt U.S. politics and labor through reliance on fossil fueled vehicles for life support units economically speaking for neo—corporatists employees. Since Row vs. Wade women have been a coinciding factor in the decline of labor unions and male wages in the U.S.A. While female earnings have gone up as they were used as union busters perhaps by the trans-nationals for 30 years male earnings have stagnated. The male leverage in unions upon trans-nationals was undermined by the ready and willing female work force that only wanted to subvert male earnings superiority.

While the upper classes may have been aware that women workers could be used to break up the tight negotiating relationship existing between male earners of the lower and middle classes and trans-national corporations, they did not fail to support the redistribution of the same portion of the income pie equally more or less between men and women. Their own upper class share increased dramatically the same 30 years, with female earnings of the upper classes rising too. I believe that less than one % of the U.S. population now own more than 8 percent of national wealth and income.

The only reason I mention this last point is that as an independent tradesman I sometime encounter U.S. female and even males that believe that any sort of male self-employment is inherently chauvinist. It’s a good leverage point for trans-nationals to quash independence and move the nation further toward neo-corporatism, a stagnant family household income, waves of cheap illegal workers to serve the easy working middle class perhaps with home improvement projects etc.

Over time reliance on foreign fuels, fossil fuels, illegal immigrants for dirty and cheap work, reliance on trans-nationals for employment (they’ll take care of you real good) and etc. may pay off deleteriously in the nation’s economic and political security. It’s not a good idea to have such and economic structure and also relies upon nuclear weapons and a huge defense budget for keeping on either. A better policy would be to take the lead in environmental conservation technologically and geographically, and lead the world toward a better environment with security for small businesspersons while getting the women to realize that its o.k. not to be molded by a transnational into some sort of ideal feminine or pimped role.

On the problem with the French; after the First World War the United States refused to sign the peace guarantee with France and signed a separate treaty with a new German government instead. France also asked for too much from Germany then. Clemenceau realized that American refusal to guarantee the peace after the First World War would inevitably lead to a round two. When the second brawl occurred and the 3rd Reich spilled over the border knocked by Hitler's fascist rhetoric into Paris there would be those that would look askance in the future toward a policy relying upon American political and military support for their security.

Clemenceau found their French Government as much to blame as the American for allowing Hitler to have so much rope.


Yet if Hitler hadn't been inclined for a quick invasion of Europe and North Africa, and had waited until nuclear weapons had been perfected possibly with the jet Messerschmitt too, it might have been bad for American international interests.

After the Second World War France pursued some rather importunate colonial retention policies, setting bad examples for the United States in Vietnam. France choose to get its own nuclear force de frappe and have an independent deterrence policy while being something of a neutral after a time regarding the cold war. It was a conservative policy in light of the French geographic location between the Soviet Union and the West. France pursued a non-belligerency policy with several nations and built a rapprochement with Germany.

France has worked toward a modern existentialist position internationally in recent years, willing to work with many nations through personal interactions instead of through traditional nationalist force as a military tool of confrontation. The United States after the second world war for a time was a dominant or nearly dominant economic power, but with its vast debts and refusal to move into a new energy base and transport modality synergistically coupled with environmentalism it has fallen into being the worlds greatest debtor nation relying upon international cheap labor to enrich it's trans-nationalist while producing cheap imported goods for domestic consumption on borrowed international currency from China, India and Japan essentially.

France shouldn't be an example for the U.S.A. of a decline into situationalist ethics, yet it should be an example for realpolitik. The United States and Russia have had a nuclear arms balance for nearly 60 years, yet when China becomes a major nuclear power and even equal it may radically destabilize that balance.

A disarmed non-nuclear world is an even more bizarre concept, since humanity is just as wicked as before the first and second wars, and conventional weapons, concentration camps and biocides could do a more complete job of human eradication that a nuclear exchange (what a term) I'd think.
