Armed Chinese Troops Occupy Texas! Bringing us Democracy!

http://revolutionpac.com/defense
Imagine for a moment that somewhere in the middle of Texas there was a large foreign military base, say Chinese or Russian. Imagine that thousands of armed foreign troops were constantly patrolling American streets in military vehicles. Imagine they were here under the auspices of "keeping us safe" or "promoting democracy" or "protecting their strategic interests."

Imagine that they operated outside of US law, and that the Constitution did not apply to them. Imagine that every now and then they made mistakes or acted on bad information and accidentally killed or terrorized innocent Americans, including women and children, most of the time with little to no repercussions or consequences. Imagine that they set up checkpoints on our soil and routinely searched and ransacked entire neighborhoods of homes. Imagine if Americans were fearful of these foreign troops, and overwhelmingly thought America would be better off without their presence.

Imagine if some Americans were so angry about them being in Texas that they actually joined together to fight them off, in defense of our soil and sovereignty, because leadership in government refused or were unable to do so. Imagine that those Americans were labeled terrorists or insurgents for their defensive actions, and routinely killed, or captured and tortured by the foreign troops on our land. Imagine that the occupiers' attitude was that if they just killed enough Americans, the resistance would stop, but instead, for every American killed, ten more would take up arms against them, resulting in perpetual bloodshed. Imagine if most of the citizens of the foreign land also wanted these troops to return home. Imagine if they elected a leader who promised to bring them home and put an end to this horror.

Imagine if that leader changed his mind once he took office.

The reality is that our military presence on foreign soil is as offensive to the people that live there as armed Chinese troops would be if they were stationed in Texas. We would not stand for it here, but we have had a globe-straddling empire and a very intrusive foreign policy for decades that incites a lot of hatred and resentment towards us.

According to our own CIA, our meddling in the Middle East was the prime motivation for the horrific attacks on 9/11. But instead of re-evaluating our foreign policy, we have simply escalated it. We had a right to go after those responsible for 9/11, to be sure, but why do so many Americans feel as if we have a right to a military presence in some 160 countries when we wouldn't stand for even one foreign base on our soil, for any reason? These are not embassies, mind you, these are military installations. The new administration is not materially changing anything about this. Shuffling troops around and playing with semantics does not accomplish the goals of the American people, who simply want our men and women to come home. 50,000 troops left behind in Iraq is not conducive to peace any more than 50,000 Russian soldiers would be in the United States.

Shutting down military bases and ceasing to deal with other nations with threats and violence is not isolationism. It is the opposite. Opening ourselves up to friendship, honest trade and diplomacy is the foreign policy of peace and prosperity. It is the only foreign policy that will not bankrupt us in short order, as our current actions most definitely will. I share the disappointment of the American people in the foreign policy rhetoric coming from the administration. The sad thing is, our foreign policy WILL change eventually, as Rome's did, when all budgetary and monetary tricks to fund it are exhausted.

Central Banks control national FIAT currencies and serve as interest-bearing lenders to private sectors during crises (see: bailouts)

Central Banks posses no authority to curtail reckless or fraudulent behavior by other banks that may endanger the economy.

Central Banks in developed nations are independently-held, in so far as they operate under 'self-regulating mandates' which render them free from political interference, jurisdictional laws and government oversight.

@terrafirma91 First of all, my other comment was not directed at you personally, but if the shoe fits... You did slam Wall street, and corporate America. In case you haven't noticed, they are the employers. Second, there is no debate. Until I see Chinese tanks in town, I will not debate why they are there (because they are not). What facade am I hiding behind? I have a job, and I take care of my family. Sorry its not more exciting. Go look for North Koreans in Kansas now.

@rb2112002 : LMFAO... Mommy and Daddy left this life long ago, pal. I never said anything negative about being employed, so how did you manage to inject such nonsense into the debate? People's lives are empty and meaningless because of guys like you who hide behind the facade.

Imagine if you knew the truth about our government. Imagine joining the military to defend this be-loved country; only to find out it's all lies. Imagine asking a prisoner in Afghanistan, Why do you think we are in Afghanistan for?" And, his response being, "Oil" Now I imagine you being a sheltered defenseless NO-NOTHING-AT-ALL, and believing our government... Here is what your government does behind your back. Or, should I say Military Dictatorship?

[rb2112002]

Imagine that you could separate fantasy from reality. imagine you could think for yourself long enough to realize that Ron Paul is just another lying politician. Imagine that you could have a protest and that any two people had the same goal. Imagine these lazy assholes getting off there ass and doing something to fix the problems and not blaming people for hard work and success. We are tired of supporting the truthers and conspiracy nuts. Get jobs, you pathetic losers

[rb2112002]

@terrafirma91 Losing the info war? I bet you have as much proof of that as you did about the events in the video. Desperation is when people have to create their own reality because their lives are empty and meaningless (like yours). You make it sound like having a job is a bad thing. Im going to go out on a limb here and bet that mommy and daddy are tired of supporting your useless ass. Turn off your computer and get a job, you fucking bum.

@rb2112002 : Keep on shilling there, pal. Say, how much are professional shills paid these days? Who signs your checks; the Pentagon, Wall Street, the Fed? Anyhow, you guys are losing the information war, and we're noticing a desperation in your posts.
