FOI What a Joke!

http://westernperspective.blogspot.com/

Before the Freedom of Information Act, the government only released whatever information it wanted to release. Today, the government only releases what it wants because of corrupt judges and Senators who change the meaning of the law in specific cases.

Fox News recently filed an FOI Claim demanding the release of the financial records of the Federal Reserve having to do with TARP. The result? A federal justice orders the release of exactly one document and then dismisses the rest of the action without explanation.

The government was ordered on appeal to release evidence of misconduct with regard to Iraq and Afghanistan. The result? Senators Graham and Lieberman have introduced bipartisan legislation supported by the president that would exempt certain photographic records taken between September 11, 2001 and January 22, 2009 which happens to be the anniversary of Roe vs Wade.

The government has already released photographs and videos of mistreatment of detainees at Abu Ghraib in 2004 which, because of their pornographic nature, have diminished American prestige throughout the world and seriously endanger our troops. The question arises, were not these photographs and videos bad enough? Is the unreleased evidence even more damning than the released evidence? This would be the inescapable conclusion of a Democratic Congress amending the FOA, which already has a national security exemption with which the government is unable to comply, to exclude the very evidence that the federal appellate justice ordered produced.

The released photos include evidence of forced nudity, sleep deprivation, masturbation in front of our soldiers, rape, and dogs used to scare and bite detainees.

In all probability, the unreleased photographs show even worse forms of abuse. What could be worse except than certain forms of indecency which would prove that the homosexual agenda traitors, again sponsored by certain Senators and Congressional Representatives who have betrayed America, are allowed to act with impunity? Adolf Hitler himself was known to practice coprophilia. The LA Times ran a story after the Iraq invasion in 2003 about a sexual sadist who held a command position in Iraq.  If America does not act to expel this subculture of sexual perverts in our government and in our military, and stop the massive increases in unpaid government debt, we as a nation will very soon be facing the same fate as Germany did in 1949.

This evidence must be released to quell the speculation about America at home and abroad, and to expose and punish those in our government who allowed this thing to happen, both the abuses under predominantly Republican administrations and the cover-ups under predominantly Democrat administrations including Senators Graham and Lieberman. Punishment is warranted for violations of the Treaty of Westphalia in 1658-1659 which ended the Thirty Years War, and the Geneva Conventions and decisions at Nuremberg after WWII.

America must first come clean by releasing all of the evidence, and then start telling our ungrateful allies and surrogates throughout the world that we have our own problems to deal with.

Buchanan's Germany

http://westernperspective.blogspot.com/

Pat Buchanan's latest column is entitled "Did Hitler Want War?". Of course Hitler did not want to go to war. Only a fool would want to start a war that would cause great loss to one's own country. This would better describe the attitude of American neo-conservatives who wanted to start American wars that could not be won in Iraq.

What Buchanan overlooks is that the victorious powers of the first World War essentially boxed Germany into a corner by imposing unreasonable demands on the German people and creating an untenable democratic structure of the Weimar Republic. Hitler, who was somewhat of a war hero, gave Germany a way out of the dilemma.

In the former Austrian Crown lands including Bohemia, most of the people including those who were German speaking resisted unification with Germany and wanted to maintain the status quo. It was only after the Nazi Anschluss in which there was a de facto annexation of Austria to greater Germany in 1938 that the German speaking people in the Slavic countries, who considered themselves Austrians, went along with Hitler's takeover of the former Czechoslovakia, although there had always been support for unification among the more extreme factions.

Europe was always united culturally. As far as France had strayed from its Christian roots during the French Revolution, France had to stand for something against the neo-paganism of the Nazi Reich. Britain, France and America went to war not to save Poland, Russia and the Jews, but to save what was left of Christianity in Germany.

Why All the Furor Over Wagner?

http://westernperspective.blogspot.com/

The Los Angeles City Council earlier this week resolved a dispute concerning the upcoming Wagnerian festival next spring celebrating Wagner's "Ring" cycle. An objection was raised by Council Member Mike Antonovich on the basis that Wilhelm Richard Wagner was in his day racist and anti-Semitic. In reality, Wagner was a Christian composer who struggled for most of his life over the question of what it means to be German. Any tinges of anti-Semitism probably stem from the antisemitism of Martin Luther.

I personally find listening to Wagner's Walkürenritt more tortuous and tedious than water-boarding. His musical composition tends to be heavy, dull and moribund, filled with Sturm und Drang. It was used by Hitler after Wagner's death because of its appeal to the Völkisch mentality. Today its appeal is to a culturally debased group of neo-pagans. The real question is who would pay money to listen to Meyerbeer or Mendelssohn today?

Obama Visit Brings Hope to Europe

http://westernperspective.blogspot.com

President Obama's stopovers in Germany and France will do much to heal the acrimony of war and religious persecution, calling to mind President Kennedy's Berlin speech in 1963. Germany is key to the revitalization of Europe. Obama's visits to Buchenwald and Dresden are helpful to Germany in overcoming the guilt associated with past mistakes. Obama is himself partly German, being descended on his mother's side from a 17th century mayor of a town in Baden-Württemberg. This may also explain his authoritarian style of government as an inherited trait.

Beyond Capitalism

http://westernperspective.blogspot.com/

All government decisions must always be informed by moral considerations.  Life in society is conditioned according to whether or not our laws are based upon moral truth, or are instead used solely to generate revenue for the greedy in society.  Our nation's forefathers understood that to govern wisely, the members of society must adhere to moral principles.  Since morality is based upon truth, religion plays a key role in forming consciences as a safeguard of the truth.  Not all religions are equal.  There can be only one true religion since God is One, not many.  To the extent that society bases its laws on the truth which is preserved for each generation in the Christian religion, only to that extent will a nation be governed well and justly in our time.

Capitalism as an economic system has evolved over time.  It is a mistake to look back nostalgically to bygone days and defend capitalism on that basis.  Capitalism exists where society values and protects property.  However, when laws do not conform to objective reality, then the safeguards for protection of property fall apart.  Individuals lose their security of person and property.

In moving beyond the capitalistic economic model, we must be careful to always adhere to truth.  This means conformity with the Divine Person of Christ. 

Society can be fooled into following one mortal man which would create a form of fascism.  Our people must be on guard against this pitfall of power.  Rather we must strive to always move forward under the banner of Christ.  We should work to remove the inequalities of wealth distribution through solidarity with the poor in America and particularly in the Western Hemisphere.  We can also learn from the countries of the world that have gone before us through the errors of central planning, particularly the lessons from Germany and the nations of central and eastern Europe formerly under communist domination.

Obamaholics Anonymous

http://westernperspective.blogspot.com/
Picture millions of black Islamic American youth decked out in black suits and red berets, goosestep marching in lockstep to the sound of rattling drums and twittering flutes.  We can expect the outcome of the Obama landslide to be a form of fascism devoid of life and vigor. 

What does Fascism need to succeed?

First of all, a charismatic demagogue.  This we clearly have in Barack Obama with his nebulous agenda of hope and change.  Instead of a Strong Man, America has a Weak Man.

Secondly, fascism requires a gullible, stupid base.  This Obama inherited from the Clinton years in the White House.

In Nazi Germany of the 1930's, people routinely surrendered their God-given rights and liberties proclaiming an oath of loyalty to one man, Adolf Hitler.  Will Americans fall the same way for Barack Obama?  Hitler's Youth had vigor and vitality.  Obama's mandatory volunteer corp will be apathetic and lethargic, mostly strung out on heroin and crack cocaine.

Obama's private army put forward by his Chief of Staff Rahm Emmanuel will be a cross between the Keystone Kops and the Gang that Couldn't Shoot Straight.

Thirdly, fascism is characterized by an alliance of wealthy industrialists and corrupt financiers with government at all levels.  This we see from the Bush administration blurring the lines between the private sector and the public sector in government, and continuing with the government bank bailouts and stimulus package.

It is time for America to rise up and take back our freedom.
