| This has been a whirlwind week. There's so much to say, please forgive how I will bounce around, but one thought is tied to another and all are inter-related. Here's a question for you: What nations generally had so-called "legal" business with Iraq? Well, there's Russia. Then, there's Germany. Oh, and France!!!! Now, what nations halted all cooperation the U.S. was trying to obtain from the U.N. prior to the war??? I think it all comes clear now. Are these the world leaders that Senator John Kerry has claimed support him against President Bush??? Oh, but Kerry somewhat recanted that claim this week. We do know that France loves him and are blatant about it on their television programs and in their newspapers. The Prime Minister Elect of Spain, Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, claimed in his stump speeches that he supports Kerry. Zapatero is very left wing and has held nothing but contempt for America during his entire political career. He truly is a socialist. Why now, is he so fond of John Kerry? France, Germany, Syria, and at the very end, Russia, had reasons to obstruct any invasion of Iraq. They knew documents might be found implicating them in the corruption with the Oil for Food Program. They needed time to purge Iraq of any proof. They truly are the "Axis of Weasel". I still believe that the U.S. waited too long trying to get the U.N. on board with all this. We waited so long that the WMD was moved or hidden much deeper. To this day, I still believe there had to be something there. All the intelligence supporting that notion cannot be wrong. Where there's smoke, there's fire! Now here is something to think about, something that came from my mother! She has some very valid thoughts about Colonel Moammar Kadafi of Libya. Remember when Kadafi offered Saddam exile just before the war began? We both found that remarkable. Why would someone who is scrutinized by the U.S. want to offer sanctuary to someone who is in more trouble with the U.S. than Kadafi himself is? It makes no sense and the U.S. found it unacceptable, even though Arab leaders and the "Axis of Weasel" tried to broker a deal for exile. Then, five days after Saddam is captured in a "rat hole", Kadafi comes forward and says that he has WMD and wants to get rid of it, to come clean. Kadafi does all this so willingly, almost urgently! Here is my mother's thought on all this: Is the WMD actually Saddam's? Did Saddam farm out the WMD to Kadafi? Did Kadafi manufacture the WMD and Saddam just sent it back? Is Kadafi Saddam's pawn? Why did Kadafi feel free to come forward AFTER Saddam was safely in U.S. hands? Remember, Colonel Kadafi has never given anything up easily, much less to offer anything up. This is the same man who took 15 years to admit he had anything to do with the 1988 bombing of Pan Am 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland. He's every bit as notorious as Saddam, cut from the same cloth. Now back to the "Axis of Weasel". Schroeder and Chirac had a meeting this past week. I'm sure they are planning how they will invite the new Spanish Prime Minister, Zapatero, to the club. After all, he plans to bring the Spanish Troops home from Iraq----unless the United Nations comes forth with new resolutions and has more say in the transition of government. Has anyone spoken to the Spanish Troops themselves and how they really feel about all this? I'd be very interested to know how they feel in their heart of hearts, about all that has happened in Spain and how they feel about Iraq. I truly do worry about the Spaniards. They had a horrific tragedy and didn't know who was responsible for days. The elections were filled with emotion and pain. They were angry, but did they take their anger out on the wrong man. Jose Maria Aznar was not the one who exploded those bombs. Zapatero says he will fight terrorism. In the same breath he says that he will pull Spanish Troops from Iraq. He, like many, draw a distinct line between "terrorism" and "Saddam". That is pure insanity! These line-drawers forget that Saddam was supporting Palestinian terror - supplying bomb vests, supplying money, sending funds to suicide bombers families; providing training camps for al Qaeda related terror groups, and providing sanctuary for the "father of terrorism" - Abu Abbas. But so many can say Saddam was a despot, but they cannot accept the title of terrorist. No one disputes the title of "thief" for Saddam. It appears that Saddam skimmed at least 10 billion from the Oil for Food Program, possibly up to 25 billion. One of Saddam's main financial officers was actually living in Switzerland (to manage his illegally acquired accounts???). His son's shared in that wealth and built their lavish lifestyle. The sons most likely paid Syria a large sum to provide shelter for them during the initial invasion of Iraq last year. But Syria sent them back. Did Syria send the money back??? And what about the pipeline of oil that went straight into Syria? It was cut off quickly after the U.S. entered Iraq, but we have heard little about it since. Yes, Syria is part of the "Axis of Weasel", there is no doubt. What about North Korea? There were ships intercepted on the way to Libya with North Korean missile parts on board. I cannot find information about who owned those ships, but I will keep researching this. Were those ships part of the mysterious al Qaeda fleet we keep hearing about? The point is - Libya and North Korea are part of the "Axis of Weasel". Whether it is called an "Axis of Evil" or an "Axis of Weasel", it's all about that same thing. Some are overt operators like Libya, Iran, and North Korea. Others are covert like France, Germany, and Russia. It appears that Spain will soon be a covert member nation too. It seems as though U.N. credibility might be devastated if the truth comes out about the Oil for Food Program. There are many names being batted around. Former U.N. Secretary General Boutros Boutros-Ghali set up the Oil for Food Program in 1996. In 1996, Kofi Annan was responsible for the U.N. team negotiating with Iraq on the sale of oil to fund purchases of humanitarian aid. Kofi Annan took over as Secretary General of the U.N. in 1997, naming Benon Sevan as director of the Oil for Food Program in October. Benon Sevan answered ONLY to Annan. On December 31, 1998, Cotecna, a consulting firm in Switzerland, was given the contract to monitor the Oil for Food Program. Who had been on the payroll of Cotecna? Kofi Annan's son, Kojo. In 1999 alone, Cotecna was paid $6 million dollars by the U.N. to MONITOR the Oil for Food Program. Now there is no proof as to any corruption as far as Annan and his son, but as of yet, all this information has been suppressed from the media. With all this blatant nepotism, Annan has announced, while I was composing this paragraph, there will be an independent investigation! The Oil for Food Program could give us the Intel we need to expose it all. If investigated correctly and honestly, we very well may find out how deep and how terrible this "axis of Evil/Weasel" really is. We may find the proof of the truly dark and light side of the governments of this world. If we can expose the dark to light, the dark will disappear! OK, read it again: If we can expose the dark to light, the dark will disappear! This is simple Hermetic Philosophy! A philosophy our Founding Fathers embraced. This is exactly what they did to the British Monarchy in the 1700's and it is exactly what our nation's leaders are trying to do today. But they must have the proof in order to expose! There are many living in the abyss of darkness who want to pull in those in the light. There are many who try to stain the message of those in the light and twist it around to sound like a dark message. Be very careful of what you read and hear. Do not put the label of truth on any message until you have done your own homework. Do not, I repeat: DO NOT take anyone's word for truth until you have put it to the test. This week, I was in a conversation with some co-workers. Actually, I walked into a room where there was a Bush-Bashing going on. As soon as I entered the room, a dozen questions came my way. Most were about the allegations of Senator John Kerry toward President Bush. They wanted to know how I could support our President after all the things Kerry had said. I just asked, "Have any of you done your homework?" They all looked quite bewildered at what I said. I then asked if they had read Senator Kerry's voting record. No one had. I then asked if they were aware that Senator Kerry's votes were responsible for the 1990's degradation of the military and the intelligence agencies. I told them this: "He voted down every weapon system we currently need and use. He voted for the war in Iraq but voted against the money to support the rebuilding of Iraq and the support for our troops there. He then made comments this week that President Bush sent our Troops to Iraq without the necessary battle gear to insure their safety and success. But Mr. Kerry is one directly responsible for it through his votes. I went on to explain that nearly every word that comes out of Mr. Kerry's mouth in attacking President Bush, really indicts himself. " I said, "He thinks you guys are stupid! He thinks you don't do your homework! He knows you will believe him! Obviously, you do." After all this was said, a hush came over the room. Then, one brave soul said, "How do you know all this stuff?" My answer was simple but firm, "I have paid attention all my life. I had a fantastic civics teacher in high school who taught me that as a citizen, I must pay attention. I was taught that my vote counts and that it needs to be put in the right place. I was taken on field trips to the library and taught how to look up congressional votes on the microfiche. We didn't have the internet then. There's no excuse today! You can look up votes right from your armchair! I was taught to question every claim until I researched the claim on my own. I was taught that some politicians will say anything to get your vote. I was taught that only those in court are given the benefit of the doubt in this country, not politicians. You need to act like your vote is going to be the deciding vote! Like it's the only one cast! All this was said to me many decades ago, but it has never been more true than today! Our world has changed! We need to change! We need to be responsible citizens! We need to take a responsible attitude toward the wonderful system our forefathers provided us! Are you really an American, or are you asleep at the wheel? Do not be spoon-fed!" Are you spoon-fed?
