Good stuff Tosk. If I didn't think it'd lead to bomb threats, I'd post that at work ;)

3am ... Again ...

What most of the American public doesn't have the patience to keep track of ... and most won't read this either because it is not a 10 second utube clip ... but ... so what ... it was fun to think about.

If I was a terrorist working for a terrorist government and I wanted to destroy the American way of life, I wouldn't use bombs and bullets to kill folks. Good Bejezzus ... that’s too damn dangerous ... I could get caught ... or killed ... or both!
American Citizens are armed, alert, angry ... well, most of them are at least one of those ... I think?

So, no! Hell no ... going tooth and nail with the infidels will never work ... the really good terroristic governments get real results ... and lay the blame where it can’t be found.
Remember ... the Islamic terrorist manifesto is to *destroy western civilization*. Chucking airliners into skyscrapers live on CNN is a good attention getter ... but modern terrorism ain't about dropping a few buildings and killing a few thousand Americans ... Heck there’s more’n 300 million of ‘em ... and more coming over their southern border every day. ;)

So if I was a terrorist government bent on destroying the America way of life ... heres the plan.

Since American Presidents, Congressmen and Senators [u][b]DO NOT[/b][/u] represent the citizens that voted for them but rather the corporate entities and lobbyists that paid for their elections ... I’d have my terrorist sponsors get control of the funds that feed the lobbyists. A few calls to a half a dozen or so interested (and wholly owned) Oil cartels should do the trick ... every November we’ll own even more American Lawmakers.

Then, to get things rolling, I’d give my puppet congressmen & women their marching orders and get legislation passed that makes it possible for foreign companies to get their products to America without them having to pay the same duties that American companies would have to pay to export their products over there.
I would call it a "Free Trade" agreement.

Then, I’d make it legal for foreign government owned, and subsidized, businesses to compete with American companies for Defense Department contracts ...this enables me to get a look at the plans for free, before they even get their new radar or satellites into production ... and when they do go into production we can make sure they work like crap.

Of course, this kind of legislation quickly clears the way for the legal buy out, by foreign investors, of the majority of, the now weakened, American factories and businesses ... plus I’d gain control of their manufacturing patents and machinery.
I would then move the factories, and the payrolls, to foreign countries this would erode any good paying American jobs.

I would then sell the resulting massive foreign trade debt back to international banking cartels and finance firms owned outright by governments hostile to American interests ... Anybody got China’s phone number handy?? ... I wonder if those gangster Russian Politicians would be interested in a little piece of the American Pie? ... Oh, and fer cripes sakes, lets throw the Eurotards a bone too ... we’ll give ‘em those defense contracts on the new American Air Force Tanker ...

This, of course, de-values the dollar so the price of EVERYTHING would go up even more. See?? Once I own their economy, their Tax base, for the next 3 generations, AND their lawmakers, I can get down to the real nitty gritty ... Remember ... the Mission is to Destroy the American Way of Life ...

Next, I’d make quality education un-affordable and public education laughable ... because as a terrorist I would not like having educated folks around ... it’s bad fer recruitment.
I would give it a fancy stirring fanfare introduction and a liberal sounding catchy name like "No Child Left Behind" ... sounds good eh?

I’d make healthcare difficult to get, expensive as all get out and I’d make it easy for the insurance companies to deny claims and refuse treatment ... let ‘em get away with outright murder ... killing millions more Americans every year ... but not before the foreign owned pharmaceutical and healthcare cartels soak them first for everything they own to pay for the prognosis and the meds.

Now because quality terrorism is kinda pricey I’d make it easy for my greedy wall street and corporate sponsors to make a fat profit on energy and food price with speculation ... that should double the cost of corn, rice, milk, meat and gas just to be sure we’re squeezing folks for every spare dime they can muster just to get to work. Then I would de regulate Banking ... so they can get screwed for what’s left at the end of the week by the usurious payday loan sharks.

I’d make sure the borders stayed open and make it easy for illegal immigrants to compete with desperate Americans looking for a second job ... even the lowest paying hot dog jobs. I would have it called *Immigration Reform* and accuse all objectors of racism.

Then I would have my bought and paid for legislators enact legislation to intercept all phone calls, watch all bank accounts, monitor all emails and register all guns, then use THAT information to REALLY stick it to everyone ... to put the brakes on serious objections I would have a good old American name for it ... how about "The Patriot Act" sounds good no?

Of course, since the real target is the American Dream ... the "American Way Of Life" ... I’d then administer the coup’ de gras & change the standard of living to a whole new level ... I'd have them call it "The New Standard of Desperation" ... I’d run the credit card and payday loan interest rates up to triple digits, cripple the American Mortgage Banks by cutting off their access to reinsurance ... crush them into receivership and then clear the way for foreign owned banks to foreclose on millions of American homes ... kick those middle-class America snobs right out into the street.

Whew! ... after getting all that done, I’d give myself, my cartel, the corporate sponsors and my lackey congressional millionaires the summer off, hand ‘em all a big ‘ol fat tax cut, make it permanent & sit back in the lap of luxury and entertain myself by watching the workin’ folks fight over the crumbs.

I wonder if the ‘Mission Accomplished’ banner that was so proudly displayed on the USS Lincoln 5 years ago is still available. It’ll make a nice backdrop for the keynote speaker at the Islamic Jihad International Convention in Pakistan next year.

Then again ... maybe a letter to the editor would do some good ... nahhhh

Each year I get to celebrate Independence Day twice. On June 30, I celebrate my independence day and on July 4, I celebrate America's. This year is special because it marks the 40th anniversary of my independence.

On June 30, 1968, I escaped Communist Cuba and a few months later, I was in the United States to stay. That I happened to arrive in Richmond on Thanksgiving Day is just part of the story, but I digress.

I've thought a lot about the anniversary this year. The election-year rhetoric has made me think a lot about Cuba and what transpired there. In the late 1950's, most Cubans thought Cuba needed a change, and they were right. So when a young leader came along, every Cuban was at least receptive.

When the young leader spoke eloquently and passionately and denounced the old system, the press fell in love with him. They never questioned who his friends were or what he really believed in. When he said he would help the farmers and the poor and bring free medical care and education to all, everyone followed. When he said he would bring justice and equality to all, everyone said "Praise the Lord." And when the young leader said, "I will be for change and I'll bring you change, everyone yelled, "Viva Fidel!"

But nobody asked about the change, so by the time the executioner's guns went silent, the people's guns had been taken away. By the time everyone was equal, they were equally poor, hungry, and oppressed. By the time everyone received their free education, it was worth nothing. By the time the press noticed, it was too late, because they were now working for him. By the time the change was finally implemented, Cuba had been knocked down a couple of notches to Third-World status. By the time the change was over, more than a million people had taken to boats, rafts, and inner tubes. You can call those who made it ashore anywhere else in the world most fortunate Cubans. And now I'm back to the beginning of my story.

Luckily, we would never fall in America for a left-leaning young leader who promises change without asking, "What change? How will you carry it out? What will it cost America?"

Would we?

Manuel Alvarez, Jr

Or heck just give up and vote OBAMA fer change!!!
