The Doers of Evil
The Evil-Doers: How Far Will They Go? PBU33.
“The probability of apocalypse soon cannot be realistically estimated, but it is surely too high for any sane person to contemplate with equanimity.” – Noam Chomsky.
The above quote, quite eloquent (and frightening I suppose to some) doesn't clarify if Noam speaks of apocalypse of Biblical prediction and end of the world, or just your run of the mill hellfire, such as Nagasaki. Of course no sane person contemplates either scenario but how many of our learned men today will say Nagasaki and Hiroshima were insane? Regardless what anyone thinks of apocalyptic events, the learned will give us the slogans to justify them, unless you're the victims, in which case the perps will pay off but never apologize. As long as perps have intelligentsia to tell us "it had to be done" mankind will move heinously along. Only if you lose, then you're publicly and historically heinous.
Personally, I'm in need of a clear target as to who are the evildoers. While most folks seem to think the evildoers are the known, occasional headliners as Usama bin Laden, al-Zawahiri, insurgents, Muslims, Islamic extremists, al-Qa’ida or al-Qaeda, Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade, Islamic Army, or just plain "them," I wanna know who/what is really behind the smoke and robes, the mosque and mirrors.
I am unable to suspend my disbelief (necessary to enjoy fiction) to accept that cave dwellers, former assets of US-CIA, Inc., were able to dedicate years living and training in the US and then simultaneously hijack 4 commercial jets under the noses of the US intel community. Nor can I believe who I'm told have staged other attacks, always credited to elusive figures issuing edicts on tape or internet sites that oddly can't seem to be ISP tracked back to catch them, although if I issued a murderous fatwa I've no doubt the SS would be at my door in no time. I suppose that's because "them" terrorists use the cave's library internet service. Silly me, I wasn't aware one could upload video at the public library. Or more likely, a tape is "released" on a password secured site. There's no end of terrorism in sight if they can access a secured site with a password to an al-Qaeda affiliated group. They've got their own phantom Allahwood studios and publicity firms to "release" short-takes for them.
Am I to believe these "terrorist cells" have developed nuclear capability and anthrax or biowarfare in a condo somewhere in the West? Or have biological agents tucked under their turbans or camel bag and blanket in the East? Nevermind the expensive and elaborate equipment and laboratory it would take to contain and develop nukes and biological agents. The terrorists, or extremists, can cook it up in the kitchen sink or a cauldron in the cave, purchasing all the necessary items from the local Home Depot and Walgreen. Or perhaps materials are FedEx'ed from Mosul. WMD are so easy to acquire I can't understand why more Americans don't have mini-nukes in the garage, or a little pox in the desk drawer. Shucks, I know it's easy because we can't even locate all the meth lab trailer parks here in the Heartland and we can smell them cooking it up.
I know, terrorists are hauling mini-WMD across the US-Mexico border, placing several layers of illegal aliens across the crates, in case of any highflying penetrating radar out there. Driving along listening to Los Tigres, crossing the same porous border that can't intercept billions of dollars in thousands of tons of Columbian cocaine and Mexican heroin and weed. No Nation-State backing needed, just coyotes leading them across the Sonora desert and the Rio Grande with backpack nukes.
Did the doers anticipate the Western world would dedicate more money and manpower to weaponry and war? Did the doers expect the West to restrict homeland freedoms, pass domestic watchdog law, redefine terrorism to include individuals or groups who don't agree with the government on how a Patriot Acts? To fund billions to new departments to make sure our feet are clean at the airport and our driver license is in order? Those doers must think we're really stupid huh? We know how to curtail their freedom to move among us.
Americans are under the impression that good people run the world for "us." But any benefit to "us" has been an accidental byproduct. It's a new world and the doers don't need as many of "us," other than the usual cannon fodder and consumers. But I'm not too worried at the moment. I figure if the doers behind the geopolitical shakedown will share a big chunk, cut the world up, even into disproportionate shares which other doers will accept, we'll be okay. The doers worked with the expendable bin Laden for a decade, a useful asset, so I'm certain they know how to do what needs to be done to the rest of us when we're no longer usable.
The real question is "Would governments murder their own citizens for a political agenda?" If you answered no I wonder how you came to this blog. If you answered yes, the next question is "by any means necessary?" Who knows how far evildoers will go. Nothing can be realistically estimated as we contemplate.

You have more writing talent in your little finger than most syndicated columnists.
You're making me blush. :)
