REPUBLICAN ARKANSAS GOVERNOR ASA HUTCHINSON LOBBIES FOR MORE UNCONSTITUTIONAL UNDECLARED WARS.
Lockheed dangles the bait (a bribe)—an $87.1 million bait. May 24, 2015
The callous Arkansas branch of the national War Party (Republicans) will snap it up, hook, line & sinker!
Giving some thought beyond the bait, the Governor is lobbying for more undeclared wars resulting in more murdering of innocent children, women and men, wholesale destruction of other sovereign nations which offer no threat to the U.S. by the U.S. government in its eternal quest for global hegemony/supremacy under the aegis of fighting the phony “wars on terror”. The murdering of innocents by mad dog snipers, drone pilots, strafing, torturing and other real acts of terrorism classified by military commanders and DC neo-cons as “collateral” damage of non-combatants, and the public yawns and/or cheers.
Elected pathological elites are detached from reality—note the verbal and voting record assaults by U.S. Senators Boozman and Cotton. Recently, Friday, both voting to reauthorize the Bush II freedom-killing Patriot Act…Boozman for the third time and yesterday, Saturday, both voted for Obama’s Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) Act, a pact that will further destroy middleclass employment in the same manner NAFTA, GATT, etc. has done. Conservatives, you say?
Essentially, Arkansas citizens are conferring their approval for electives to lobby for more preemptive wars, for any number of reasons; malaise, ignorance, silence, self-service and/or political party commitment.
Look passed the possibility that acceptance of the bait will create 600 jobs, think what the bait contains, its cost and what it really means…the manufacture of 55,000 Joint readiness vehicles. Can you envision the ramification of 55,000? That alone is a proclamation that telegraphs to everyone who is willing to exercise a thought process, there is absolutely no plan for the DC & state governments (lobbying) to pursue, initiate, and/or negotiate peace agreements/treaties. Their battle cry is “Eternal War for Eternal Peace”.
The Dept of Defense & military commanders have ordered on multiple occasions thousands of mechanized vehicles and other equipment to be left on the battlefields resulting in said equipment falling into the hands of ISIS, jihadists, Al Quada, etc. Purposely?
Here is Gov. Hutchinson’s statement that is no different than betting “on the come”, “An $87.1 bond issue to help Lockheed land a military contract that COULD bring 600 jobs to southern Arkansas”.
Lockheed is the largest munitions manufacturer in the world, has mountains of DC lobbyists, accompanied by huge controls over the U.S. Congress. Lockheed NEEDS NO HELP from the Arkansas State Governor & the General Assembly to secure the aforementioned contract in money or political influence—the fix is in. Follow the money! Bribery is the sinister means of doing government business & “favors” follow.
The national Republican War Party is desperately campaigning to increase next year’s defense budget from $57 Billion to $67 Billion…a criminal financial ($18 TRILLION debt) and military effort by any standard and the six towers of corruption from Arkansas are right in the mix. All clamor for more funding…lest you’ve forgotten, these are taxpayer dollars.
Lockheed has yearly cost overruns that total in the billions subsidized by citizen taxpayers, e.g. the F-35, unsafe to fly, regular fires in the cockpit, a failed massive computer system, & pilot helmets that are dysfunctional.
It is stated that the $87.1 Billion payback will take 15-20 years.
Let’s keep them Wars agoin’, it’s good business! Yes, it is for corrupt politicians that are inextricably coupled to the military/industrial complex and through citizen ignorance, have allowed these brutes who have corrupted our Republic to languish in the halls of government their entire lives. Again, gross stupidity.
Have any of you given thought to the terrible price the U.S. and its so-called adversaries have paid thus far by the misadventures created & orchestrated by 2 former and 1 current American presidents & their neo-con handlers—Clinton (the Balkans); GW Bush (Iraq & Afghanistan—-he passed the unconstitutional freedom taking Patriot Acts nullifying the 4th & 10th Amendments, all built on lies & more lies, all the while plans for invasion of Iraq were fashioned in the 90’s, and known as the Wolfowitz Doctrine that simply states “We (the U.S.) shall have no rival and will use any force necessary to insure victory”….observe the blood and treasure wasted during the last 14 years.); Obama (Libya, overthrew the democratically elected president of Ukraine, the multi-attempts to overthrow Assad in Syria (the only bastion for Christians in the Mideast), illegal immigration that has changed the face of Western Civilization forever, NSA/global spying, and soon to be Jade Helm—pitting citizens against the U.S. military. The aforementioned 3 were & are enemies of civilized society.)
The aforementioned presidents should be tried for high crimes. Recall Bush stating the Iraq invasion would be a cakewalk, followed by some years later on the flight deck of the USS Abraham Lincoln, “Mission Accomplished” & his memorable reference to our Constitution as “just a G.D piece of paper”. A high-born thug.
I quote highly decorated Marine Major General Smedley Butler from a speech he gave in 1933, “I wouldn’t go to war again as I have done to protect some lousy investment of the Bankers. There are only two things we should fight for, one is the defense of our homes and the other is THE BILL OF RIGHTS.” “War for any other reason is simply a racket”.
Obviously General Butler’s words have no meaning for Gov. Hutchinson who has been ensconced his whole adult life in big government; a big government man will never go against the government/military/industrial/banking cabal.
From Hutchinson’s past government role as titular Administrator of the DEA, the question must be posed—are there any lingering or current relationships between Lockheed-Martin & Hutchinson?
Joe McCutchen
P.S. irony—the same day Hutchinson bloviated about Lockheed came a story by John Lyon of the Ark. News Bureau which stated “Arkansas ranks 51st in food security, 48th in income level, 20% of families earning income below the poverty level”, etc. etc. yet they are expected to supply tax dollars and young unsuspecting people to serve as cannon fodder for the elitists in their political war atrocities. ONWARD TO WAR WITH AN $18 TRILLION FOXHOLE BUDDY! KILL, KILL, KILL.
