NY Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

          When I saw the Political Cartoon in the NY Post showing the Two Police officers shooting and killing the monkey over the stimulus bill I was shocked into realizing I probably have a condition shared by many Americans that is not often discussed. We are more afraid of this topic than we are of discussions about race. The topic of race is being used by the Obama administration to hide what "they" are afraid of. To make my point, allow me to first give you the definition of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder as defined by the National Institute of Mental Health.

                      What is Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder?

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, PTSD, is an anxiety disorder that can develop after exposure to a terrifying event or ordeal in which grave physical harm occurred or was threatened. Traumatic events that may trigger PTSD include violent personal assaults, natural or human-caused disasters, accidents, or military combat.

          Allow me to now take the Underlined titles and topic, word by word, (in reverse) to make my point.

Disorder:

          Our disorder begins with the Assassination of President Kennedy and continues thru to the assassinations of Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy. This disorder resulted in the Escalation of the Military Industrial Complex as told to us/U.S. by General Eisenhower. The shooting in the picture is an ASSASSINATION. We don't know  the details of assassination's in America to this day. But from this point on, America changes from the Beacons of History, to the Shadows of         Mystery. We do know however, of Companies who benefited, and the same war profiteers continue to benefit post 911.

Stress:

        Our Stress is not only from the anxiety of these events for Americans. The Stress has also been put on our Constitution as well as our Nations Budget.  We declare War on everything we can spend money on. In every war, be it on Drugs, Disease, Nations, Illiteracy, Hunger, or Terror, the War is eternal, as is the spending. Winning or Losing is debated, but we are always losing "America", as well as our revenues. We are eliminating our Constitutional Bill of Rights with every battle. Countries that we have gone to War for, to Liberate, have more freedom and revenues than us/U.S. The STIMULIS BILL in the picture, refers to our Nations shift from the Absolute Failure of those priorities,  to our new  priority of trying to save America.

Traumatic:

          What is Traumatic is that somehow we don't look at Tax Cuts as Ear Marks, and we have been misled into believing that Defense Spending is not Pork. This is the key to the trauma that has led all of us/U.S. to financing our own demise. Domestic expenses, such as social security, health, education, and welfare, were tax expenditures that were "voted for" as a keep safe for all of Americans. They were always paid for and affordable. It was the Budget Busting Big Brother Defense Pork Barrel that started the Deficit Spending that broke the bank. The Viet Nam and Iraq Wars were both escalated on false pretense. The officers in this cartoon, represent this POLICE STATE and the resentment of Taxpayer money being spent on the American taxpayer.

Post:

          This of course has two meanings and I will use them both. One meaning is "afterwards". As in post 911. As the power of the people is diminished, as well as it's finances, we begin to have the anxiety and fear of hopelessness. We then seek protection and surrender to our captors.Thru fear and hopelessness we allow our rights to be taken away. The picture shows the Police State killing the Rule of Law in a Battle over Spending.

NY Post:

          The second meaning of the word Post is "the posting of Information". This is the media, as in the NY Post. But not just any media. It is part of a Conglomerate of conservative media that is owned by News Corp. which also owns FOX news. This is a group of people that try to manipulate and influence the success of the Iron Triangle. They have an agenda and much of it has been fulfilled. This group, in my opinion has helped George Bush and CIA do with the Private Sector, exactly what Vladimir Putin and the KGB has done with the government sector. Fox News never reveals how many of it's Expert Correspondents are on the multiple payrolls or lobby's that are really representing the Republican Pork of Defense Contractors. NEWS CORP claims to protect us/U.S. from the liberal media, yet they have the ability, thru abundant ownership, to control the News almost as a monopoly. NEWS CORP should not be able to Control the News Privately, thru Selective Editing, the way the KGB Censors the News thru Government. Restore the Fairness Doctrine! A corporate dictatorship is more dangerous to society than a government can ever be. A private monopoly on the news is the same thing as government run propaganda. This point is more obvious today than ever.

 

NY Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder: 

         This cartoon is a warning not to cut Defense Spending. It is a warning not to prosecute War Crimes or restore the Constitution. President Obama has all ready allowed much of the Bush Doctrine and Cronies to remain in tact. President Bush has fulfilled the Dream of Nixon. The Dream of Martin Luther King has been sidestepped by President Obama allowing the Nightmare of "N" word status to apply to all working Americans. We are economic slaves to deficit spending with NO rights. President Obama is hooked up to a NSA blackberry and has allowed the Private sector to spy on us/U.S. He is only allowed to deal with Domestic issues. The CIA,CEO, of OIL and WAR, tells Leon Penetta what to do. Obama had to give them a New war in Afghanistan just to obtain permission to end the old one. This is a Bush fire that only we Americans can put out. If not, we will lose America, in Afghanistan. The place where we saw the Soviet Union undergo  bankruptcy and reorganization. The CIA,CEO, of OIL and WAR, does what it wants based on profits and politics. Bush/Cheney/Haliburton will be able to continue this protections racket "Absentee" just like Bush's soul mate Putin does. They will control the outcome exactly like when Carter tried to rescue the Hostages and failed. They also buried Carter with our first phony oil shortage, to get Reagan elected. To restore faith in America - the Prior administration and Prior economy must have indictments.

          I could be reading to much into this but as I said before I do have  NY Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder:       

What ever happened to the PMI money?
