REALITY CHECK

by Judith Moriarty

Dubai

As people struggle to heat their homes,  buy gas to get to that Wal-mart job, listen to reports of foreign investors buying up their (tax payer funded) roads, real estate, land, and water etc -  Americans have not heard the good news  that all this OIL money is going to good use! Just not here!  The oilmen are pretty darn happy  that  their  Washington lap dogs are  keeping the  billions in subsidies intact  in the new Energy Bill.  Breaking News:  Many  corporations - financiers - inherited wealth - ill gotten gains (Haliburton)  wealth - are moving to Dubai/ Arab Emirates . No worry there about decay  - crime - drug gangs - fuel assistance cutbacks - medical care - good schools - taxes (there are none) - or housing! While parts of the mid-west are still without power - Dubai could have an asteroid hit  and the lights would stay on. In the 21st century - all their  power lines etc, are underground. 

Their trains - subways and airports all look like they're out of some futuristic movie?  War for Oil is pretty damn profitable for the 'few'. You can do stuff like this when you're not borrowing billions per day, to fund FOREVER WAR.  Meantime - in the  Superpower U.S;

A Reality Check

This is OUR Disaster Plan

 

These are our homeless veterans,  living in one of the wealthiest states ( the rich come here to save on their taxes)  NH -- in tents

 

 

These are the levees,  that a superpower nation builds. Of course,  those who were flooded (died) were work - a - day people and the poor, so who cared?

These are the disaster personnel for the rich (not flooded in New Orleans). They are called Blackwater Mercenaries. There are also180,0000 of them  in Iraq. They get paid approx $1200.00 -$1500.00 a day. This is why the President has to ask for more BILLIONS every few months. He tells the people that its for our troops - its not, its for these mercenaries.  Our real soldiers are paid the equivalent of a McDonald's manager.

 

These are our homeless. They are mostly mentally ill, or they lost their homes, due to catastrophic illness (bankruptcy) and the banks took their homes. You would NEVER see this in Dubai.

 

These are our empty factories. China now sends us inferior steel, lead drenched toys, and poison dog food etc. Nobody in Washington can stop this,  because the borrower (U.S.) is slave to the lender (CHINA).

These are the cameras being put up everywhere to WATCH US. When you live on a  plantation they want to make sure you don't escape.  They also  have to make sure you're not loitering or  talking to  your neighbor.  This is called  FEAR THEATER.
 

This is one of the millions of foreclosure signs. The banks are taking back people's homes,  because that's what soulless mutant vampires are famous for. See the Great Depression.
 

This is where we used to make cars. We don't anymore - China makes them. Detroit looks like a war zone. They never show towns like this on the news - because it smacks of 'reality' and the people are  not permitted to  exit the Matrix.

 

This is just SOME of our garbage. You won't  see this along the waterways in Dubai. Garbage is big business in the U.S. We invite bottling companies into our towns,  to make MORE plastic bottles (which takes lots of OIL). Then  these shyster companies fill them up with TAP water,  and sell it for a 1000 times more than  it costs to turn on the faucet! True. 

This is just one of our bridges that's collapsed. Since most business (gov or otherwise) is corrupt today - workmanship is cheap and inferior. That's why the 20 BILLION BIG PIG (DIG) in Boston is falling apart and leaking like a sieve. Nobody EVER goes to jail - even when this corruption kills people.  The only people in jail are the poor who steal stuff from K-Mart, or smoke a joint.

Since we don't have a disaster plan, like Israel, that builds a safe room in everyone's house,  and supplies them with safety equipment etc - we have to make do and build our own.  In a nutshell, due to the prohibitive costs of war -  the light at the end of the tunnel has been turned off.  JM
