Government
torture of Al Qaeda suspects was bad policy yet the Bush II
administration and A.G. Gonzalez felt that it was necessary. Federal
sadism is an abuse of power in an era when abuse of power with
nominal excuses seems to be the rule instead of the exception. A
politician or chief executive needs plausible blamability of someone
else for effective implementation.
While
Al Qaeda did tremendous damage to New York and Arlington Va on 9-11
so did Clinton era economic policies that let Wall Street establish
flam as the norm. President Bush II doubling down on his own enrich
Halliburton method of ops with no-bid contracts in a 3 trillion
dollar war didn't no that his own method of spending his political
capital would enfilade President Clinton's hidden method of
transferring wealth to the rich already in effect nor the effect it
would have of bringing a financial crash to Wall Street. President
Obama hasn't really changed much to correct that. Instead he has
developed a new upgrade of abusing executive power in serialized
neo-imperialism though he did take over the Colbert Report recently
to the relief of the unemployed.
Torture
is bad policy that wasn't necessary to elicit information leading to
old man Oz hidden near the Pakistan Military College. The U.S.
Government has lots of bad policy like any other government though
except Sweden. Sen. Feinstein assures us that democracy is open and
so spilling government secrets must therefor be good for democracy,
however Democracy may be more common in Africa than any other
continent and it has had a debatably positive effect compared to some
hypothetical better form of government yet to be invented.
Africa
at least got rid of its Kings and left the savage past behind unlike
Europe with its atavistic royals of Norway, Britain and elsewhere. It
may be the higher neolithic genetic content, yet that could be a good
thing too-it brought them out of being slavers quicker than some
other places.
Bad
policies of torture like bad public radio harms particular
individuals whom haven't practical recourse. The legal system is
already too expensive and doesn't correct very well. One might say
that sadism is in its blood.
There
is good news on the religious front though...post-millennialism seems
to indicate that the areas of the world positively influenced by the
saved is likely to increase. One might be skeptical since the Nixon
Corporate health care plan that is a nearly half-century old was laundered
through the Romneys and President Obama then forced into law when the
Democrat Party used the nuclear option. If one has learned anything
from the past few years it is that more political silliness from a
neo-corporatist government will not fix the problems with Mexico that
send so many illegal migrants to the U.S.A. to compete with jobs with
suffering Americans unemployed and dropped out of the work force so
the government can put a happy-face unemployment statistic out when
there are probably more working age Americans not working than are.
Mexico
should have a European standard of living and then like Europeans it
would not send many illegals here to the U.S.A. One must halt all
illegal immigration with a salt-water moat to desalinate water then
create a Marshall Plan for Mexico to bring full employment about. The
people that like cheap labor however will never allow things to
change. If Mexico no longer sent illegal workers north the cheap
labor people would get them here from China or elsewhere...and dirty
wars that cost a lot will probably recur too.
