January 16, 2005 journal, fighting the war with rhetoric and not reality, without winning.

A Middle East war is inevitable, they are discussing plans to strike Iran from bases in Iraq. He is taught in the schools and in the churches as a man of peace but the night he was shot all hell broke loose destroying the United States from coast to coast with fires and looting. Al Gore has spoken out against the illegal wiretapping and it is bound to have an impact. The chairman of the Republicans has countered with statements designed to discredit him. Still they are not getting to the bottom of the spying charge to reveal to American people that everyone is being violated because that is the system available to pay the telephone companies and internet carriers to report keywords being used that could land the John Q. Public in big trouble. Massive reaction in Pakistan today over the village bombing and questions as to who authorized the attack which yielded no enemy dead, just men women and children. General consensus is that this hurt U.S. image abroad and that’s surely right. Such action could very well bring on reaction in our streets the same as they have in Iraq. Who can stop this tyrant from destroying us all? Jack Abramoff may be the man that will unseat the controlling party. Republican biggies are falling everyday. When the media says “the liberals” now, it is meaningless the same as when they say conservatives. There is no difference and politics is not the answer. CNN is now expelled from Iran for misquoting what their president said concerning his speak on nuclear energy. Iran is the forth largest oil and gas producer in the world and the U.S. is failing to get Russia and China to place sanctions on Iran because they are a big trading partner with the mega containers sailing out of China. Much of Iran oil reportedly goes to Russia and China and we have no right to restrict their production of energy. Marketplace of public radio is reporting from China this week saying that 50 percent of the worlds cement is made in China. "Half the world's tallest cranes are now in Beijing building skyscraper buildings, both Ford and GM are now building cars in China with a hundred thousand sold in the local market last year. China has 22,000 miles superhighways in operation according to the report and it surely is the fastest growing economy on earth while our own government is desperate & panicking. We have given away to the pressures until we're weakened and it is going to be downhill from here on. I hesitate to even write what I see and believe is happening to this nation. Those who speak out will suffer reprisals from the party in power as history records in all dictatorships. Every American is being spied upon with their rights being violated and the Constitution being scrapped and even cursed by the president swearing and using the name of God to damn the Constitution, he is stacking the court with his buddies in case he needs them to rescue him. For now I fear for every American especially those who are on the battlefront. There is no possible victory intended but we're being suckers for Israel to build bases for them against the Arab world for which there is no end of hostilities. We are now losing aircraft almost daily and the lives of real American soldiers. This is worse than the abortion issue of those exposed to war and killing will replay this in their memories for as long as they live. Vietnam reportedly still has thousands with playback nightmares crazy.

The president is very angry at those who were calling him a liar and sounds like he's out to get them by whatever means he can. Let Congressman John Murtha continue to speak out

and the world will hear him clearly. Let Al Gore continue to challenge the illegal spying, the universe will hear him clearly. Every voice of opposition is an open season target for ridicule in the war of rhetoric to control the minds of the people. Those sending young lives into battle are committing awful atrocities that the world will some day recognize.
