5 Minutes to Midnight, Atomic Time: Half Past Sanity

Bee Z. Bendigedig
August 7, 2007

As the world teeters on the brink of total Armageddon, thanks to a global network of war profiteers, multi-billionaire weapons manufacturers, corrupted politicians, apathetic and sociopathic mobs of industrial consumers, we once again cross the memorial marker of the first atomic bombing of civilian populations on our planet at Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Every year, as an American military brat who grew up in Japan, I feel compelled to attempt to remind other Americans that it wasn't Nazis, it wasn't aliens from outer space, it wasn't "the enemy" who committed this horrific crime against nature (not once, but TWICE!)-- it was the political predecessors of the current politicians in Washington, DC who allowed this genocidal event to happen, changing the face and self-respect of humanity for all time.

Somehow, Americans have been conditioned to blank out the brutal, stinking facts of war-- pushing aside maimed veterans, new technologies like Predator drones, and the Strangelovian psychosis we know as "the Pentagon"-- so as to keep going to our jobs, being entertained, waving our flags and other "normal" activity. Confronting the full impact of the U.S. military machinery on the world is not for the faint of heart, and will likely lead to social crisis, depression, and a disturbing tendency to take extreme action of conscience.

Now that we have allowed George Bush, Richard Cheney & Co. to lead the complete devastation of the nation of Iraq, causing the horrific deaths of women, children, civilians who had nothing at all to do with "terrorism" in numbers far dwarfing the casualties of Hiroshima & Nagaaki, using our advanced air weaponry, mass-death cluster bombs, uranium weapons & other such genocidal technologies, how can any aware American individual even begin to claim we have made progress since the American atomic bombings?

Hell, Bush & his military contractor cohorts are even trying sell us on new "mini-nuke" weapons, concocting ever-more extreme terroristic scenarios to keep the millions of profits flowing into his benefactors' Swiss acounts. And we're all going along with the insanity, day by day. Just yesterday, Congress (allegedly sworn to uphold a shredded Constitution) passed another authorization to give Bush further spying powers. This after it is apparent to anyone with a brain that the Bush-Cheney team belongs behind bars for outrageous crimes against humanity.

Well, like I said, I am obligated to deliver this reminder to any American that still has any shred of belief in a "Republic" of the people, democratic process, humanitarianism, peace and other such idealistic principles which now appear crushed beneath the treads of Strykers and bombed out buildings, lost among the bodies of young, snuffed-out soldiers, Iraqi children and oil-soaked beaches, riddled with machine gun fire. All to make a bunch of criminals more powerful & wealthy.

I would love to once again get my hopes up (which has happened occasionally in the past 40 years), but since the day Bush Jr. was appointed President (after the Florida vote fraud), all seems to have been sliding wickedly, tragically down into the pits of hell, filling our social sphere with lies & complete corruption-- to the point where few young people can have any faith in the recovery of the American "democracy," let alone any shadow of a "dream." It's all a nightmare, a freaking horrorshow, folks. Intentionally so.

What Hiroshima reminds, or questions us is: how long ago, exactly, did we lose it? Was there ever any truth to the propaganda ideals of America, except for privileged Euro-colonials & warlords? If so, how do we explain the fact we have yet to face our reflection in the fireballs of hell which our forefathers have unleashed?

still it's hard to find the boarder between addictiona and just plain surfing. i mean i'm surfing through the web quite ofte, but that doesn't make me addicted, since i have a family and i know i have someone to take care of, and the time i spend on my computer is just enough for me and i can spend a lot a time with my family. i think there are a lot people like that and i don't think they're ill. it would be appropriate if doctors would specify more clearly where the boarder is.
