U.S. Shameful, National and International "DISGRACE!"

QUALIFIER NUMBER ONE.

National and International Disgrace reflecting on We, the People of the United States of America caused by acts of Conflict of Interest, and total incompetence more than casually made more than "slightly evident" by the CONDUCT and LACK OF CONDUCT by FAILURE TO DO THEIR DUTY AS PRESCRIBED BY OATH OF OFFICE by our leaders, albeit state or federal.

Every time I walk into a state or federal office which by Law of the Land (Supremacy Clause) mandated to represent the Courts, Representatives of We, the People, I am shocked to find "The We, the People, the Sovereigns, those these "offices represent" must be screened by metal detectors, before we can visit with our Senators, Congressmen, FBI, Attorney Generals, Department of Health and Human Services etc?"

When confronted with these armed guards and metal detectors, I always ask [quote] "What's this all about? What did these old boys do wrong that they feel as though they must protect themselves from those they are bound by Oath to "Uphold, Protect and Defend, against all parties, foreign or domestic [end quote]?" The response comes back [quote]
"We have not done anything wrong [end quote]."

"You must have done something dammed wrong, or you would not be actively on the defensive protecting yourselves from those who "own" these state and federal offices, who are in effect and for all intent and purpose your employers [end quote]."

QUALIFIER NUMBER TWO;

National Disgrace comes to the forefront when THE U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES "FILIBUSTER" showing their " Party/Political back sides" to the world, strutting like peacocks over "blue smoke issues" knowing full well; "THE UNITED STATES IS UP TO HER RUMP IN ALLIGATORS" while; NOT A SINGLE SOUL, IN THE U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES and/or STATE LEGISLATURES are bothering to DRAIN THE SWAMP

(source:
http://www1.chinadaily.com.cn/en/doc/2003-11/13/content_281237.htm ) to relieve the burdens put upon our National Guard Units fighting this BS War in IRAQ and elsewhere, leaving these men and women to go out on scavenger hunts to buy their own equipment which at times has mismatched ordinance causing the weapons to jam, leaving these men and women in critical situations of "inability to defend themselves."

For American Forces comprising of men and women with families who rely on getting paychecks, who are being denied the normal "protective measures" required to support these men and women such as "armament, ordinance, pay checks, health care (being told by Health Care Providers "They do not qualify for Health Benefits" (this is the same thing pulled on Senior Citizens here in the U.S.), bullet proof vests, uniforms etc" more than abundantly qualifies as A NATIONAL DISGRACE!

[Quoting ChinaDailyArticle]

"U.S. soldiers with the National Guard are already under the gun in Iraq and Afghanistan. But now a new government report claims that while the troops are fighting far from home, red tape is preventing many of them from being paid.
While National Guard soldiers fulfill their duty, risking their lives around the world, the Pentagon apparently is not living up to its obligation to pay them the right amount or on time. That is according to a new congressional report obtained by NBC News, which finds the Pentagon's pay process is such a mess it's having "a profound financial impact on individual soldiers and their families."

U.S. Rep. Christopher Shays, R-Conn., responds [quote]
"This is well beyond anything I could ever imagine. I would like to think if we send people off to war that we're not going to have them worry about whether their home is going to be taken because they can't pay their mortgage."

"In six Guard units examined by the General Accounting Office, a stunning 94 per cent of soldiers had pay problems."

Question: HOW MANY U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES "MISSED A PAY CHECK?"

Another Question: Did the President of the United States, Rumsfeld or Cheney etc; MISS PAY CHECKS?

As these "Guard Units" had pay problems, including; Under and Over Payments; Three month delays in active duty checks, while Pay and Benefits were cut off for wounded soldiers in the hospital.

They were being told they weren't entitled to certain health care benefits, in spite of their injuries (Rep. Christopher Shays)."

In all fairness; This is all too familiar to this writer, as a; American Senior Citizen and Widow of Active Duty, U.S. Armed Forces Personnel Russell Herman who was "terminated" while in the V.A. Health Care Facility at Marion Illinois in "1994".. All these years I have been denied this Military Pensions, Retirement Benefits, Military Insurance's and Social Security because; The Department of Health and Human Services maintain "We lacked 2 days being married long enough to qualify for ALL and/or ANY BENEFITS."

Response to that BULL CRAP!: "HAD HE NOT BEEN MURDERED WHILE GETTING THE "ALLEGED QUALITY CARE" IN A U.S. FEDERAL FACILITY; HE WOULD HAVE LIVED THE "2 DAYS NEEDED TO QUALIFY." (it is believed by me, the Widow; THIS QUALIFIES FOR ANOTHER NATIONAL & INTERNATIONAL "DISGRACE)

NATIONAL and INTERNATIONAL DISGRACE NUMBER THREE;

Another report, missed entirely by U.S. NEWS AGENCIES
http://www.albawaba.com/news/index.php3?sid=263220&lang=e&dir=news dated: 12-11-03, brings to the forefront the "attention deficit" of the long standing U.S. News Reporting Agencies quote;

[snip] " One trusts that an American electorate mesmerized by Reality TV and the NFL/NBA regular season schedules will stop long enough to contemplate the apocalyptic implications of Gordon Thomas's October 27th exclusive for the American Free Press: that George Bush's neo conservative regime has secretly flown 100 Harpoon cruise missiles tipped with nuclear warheads to the joint American-UK military base stationed on the remote Indian Ocean island of Diego Garcia. Thomas informs us that it is now known where 72 of these Harpoons have been subsequently assigned--to three Israeli Dolphin class submarines (24apiece) that have subsequently left Diego for the Gulf of Oman. The purpose? To target Iranian nuclear facilities well within the range of the Dolphins and their collective nuclear-tipped payload supplied by the United States.
Most ominously, these instruments of mass death and destruction are under the command-and-launch decision making authority of one Ariel Sharon, whose moral, political, and military mindset is best revealed by his pivotal role in the Sabra and Shatila massacres in southern Lebanon in 1982, along with the occupational policies on the West Bank and Gaza that have recently included the deliberate IDF bulldozing to death of Olympia, Washington's Rachel Corie, an unarmed peace activist protesting Palestinian house demolitions sanctioned by the Sharon Government.
It gets worse. The Thomas story has subsequently been confirmed by a senior aide to Bush National Security Advisor Condolezza Rice for both the Los Angeles Times and London's Guardian newspaper.
Where pray tell, is the American media and Congress in confronting George Bush with the absolutely incomprehensible decision to supply any government--much less the Sharon regime in Tel Aviv--with American nuclear weaponry and the accompanying authority to decide if, when, and against whom the Apocalypse is to be unleashed?
Who are the powers in his Administration who have set this obviously reckless and derailing course of action in motion?
May we conclude that they are largely the same advisors--with direct connections to the Likud regime in Israel--who urged the President to involve American men and women in an ill-conceived preemptive strike against Iraq, where the fraudulent Administration claims about Weapons of Mass Destruction in that country are made all the more maddening by the obvious, enveloping quicksand of death, debt and international ill-will increasingly exponentially by the day. And where are the medallioned luminaries of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in this nightmare--scheduling this week's tee times at the Congressional Country Club? [end snippet quote]

GORE VIDAL returns home, and we are the better for it, as he, as usual "speaks his mind fluently" describing the "state of affairs" (as we all see them) which he does with his indomitable "style and grace" in HARPOONING those "Neglecting their Duty of Oath of Office of Public Trust"
http://www.rumormillnews.com/cgi-bin/forum.cgi?read=39751 .

In specifics, to answer the question posed
http://www.libertyforum.org/showthreaded.php?Board=news_government&Number=1027095 in regards to the "electorates" mindset as mentioned in the articles which originated at;
http://www1.chinadaily.com.cn/en/doc/2003-11/13/content_281237.htm , the answer lies in this mornings NBC-CBS NEWS review of the INAUGURATION OF ARNOLD SWARTZNEGGER as GOVERNOR OF CALIFORNIA, when questioning a 8 or 9 year old child what she thought about the new governor, the Child responded: "I believe he will make a good governor?"

THE MIND OF THE CHILD is that which is being polled, and that which is presented daily by the lack of activity to RIGHT the WRONGS of this MESS by THE U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES as they show their BACKSIDES during an ongoing FILIBUSTER; WHILE THIS NATION AND OUR ALLIES; STAND CONFRONTED WITH "A CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER!"

Just for the "heck of it" read GORE VIDAL'S comments on this current state of affairs at
http://www.rumormillnews.com/cgi-bin/forum.cgi?read=39715 and
then go to

Good day.
