An Act of War
By J.J. Johnson
Earlier this week, I flew back west from a business trip on a day time
flight. While
gazing at the fruited plain through my window seat, I saw countless numbers
of very small flag poles, and could make out the waving U.S. flags in front
of buildings from 35,000 feet.
Why did I mention this?
Because after almost running my car off the road hearing about the Chinese
embassy being bombed by NATO forces, I couldnt wait to hear the Clinton
spin-meisters at work on the Sunday mornings talk shows explaining to us
why these million dollar, high tech, satellite guided missiles-bombs can
only hit the broad sides of barns in Yugoslavia.
Their excuse: It was a mistake a regrettable one due to bad intelligence
(no pun intended). This is the understatement of the 20th century. If, on a
clear day, I can spot Old Glory from 35,000 feet with the naked eye, why
cant a trained pilot (with all the NATO intel resources at his disposal)
see a Chinese flag flying in from 15,000 feet?
Call me stupid, but with all the hand-ringing that is being done over this
mess, no one - NOT ONE person from either the left or the right could come
to grips with four short words that would have explained the incident in a
real context
An Act of War.
Thats right, folks. No matter what the Washington DC Sunday morning
propaganda machine will tell you, bombing a Chinese embassy is the same as
bombing China. Thats been recognized by international law for centuries. It
is simply an act of war. There could be a more logical explanation the US
could have given for this, which Ill explain later. But to get in front of
a camera, and have some idiot tell me that it was a mistaken target doesnt
wash.
No matter who made the mistake, some pilot should have had the brains God
gave a maggot, and said, Hey, thats a Chinese flag in front of that
target. I think Id better hold off before starting (read: escalating) World
War III.
The latest example of our bombs are so smart that we keep hitting the wrong
targets approach is continuing proof that the New World Order in any
form- simply will not work. Like the bombing of the Chinese embassy, anyone
who can justify this attack against Sovereign Yugoslavia, must first
re-write international law.
George Will (ABC Sunday morning) said it best: NATO has done in 43 days
what the Bolsheviks could not do in 40 years turned the world against the
United States. During my eastern trip I also stopped in Washington. I drove
down Mass. Avenue through a section of town called Embassy Row. I couldnt
help but to notice that most of the embassies have less security than even
Columbine High School. The exceptions were of course, Great Britain and
Israel. But for some reason, around the world, the World Policeman has to
turn every embassy into a federal prison look alike. This has not
happened because of our unique ability to make friends.
Today, the U.S. has succeeded placing another of its embassies under siege.
This one is in Beijing. What makes matters worse is how they DARED to say
that the government of China was actually organizing the protests, or doing
little to stop them. Why should they? Is the U.S government trying to tell
us that it has the right to attack foreign embassies and no one should
really be upset about it? Give me a break. Look at the bright side: At the
time of this writing, the Chinese protesters hadnt burned it to the ground
yet.
Today still, the arrogance of Latter-Day Rome continues. No one in
Washington has the common sense to say, cool it, Bill. And Frankly, I
believe the overall pass-the-buck policy of this administration will
continue until either we (the American public) stop it, or someone decides
to split atoms about 1000 feet over an American city. I even heard someone
trying to blame Slobo for what happened at the Chinese embassy. And they are
still trying to figure out a way to legally become Pirates of the High
Seas.
And they call us extreme.
This is madness, and goes against everything America (the one that I know)
stands for. If sanity doesnt reach within I-495 soon, someone will sink a
carrier, down a AWACS plane, or worse like something happening that makes
Oklahoma City look mild in comparison. Sadly, if and when this happens,
nations of the world will use the same excuses the U.S has been using for
the past month to justify the attack. The statement of the world will be
simply put: Clinton had it coming for trying to ethnically cleanse Chinese
and Serbs from Yugoslavia.
Perhaps this incident will at least cause some major defections in the
parliaments of NATO nations. Else they'll have to use mirrors at their "War
Crimes" tribunal.
It would have been better to blame the Chinese for what happened in
Yugoslavia. Since we now know that China has received targeting secrets from
the U.S. (giving the word Treason a new definition), we should ask ourselves
exactly what did they receive. Anyone can use math to get a missile from
point A to point B. There are a few variables that must be compensated for
during a missile flight. During this stupid encounter in the Balkans, we
have learned what guides these not-so-smart bombs to their targets:
Military- Encrypted Global Positioning Systems Satellites. Hence, it would
have made more sense to say
The Chinese have stolen technology that allows them to redirect our
missiles (via satellite) as well as guide theirs. They intercepted a missile
and guided it into their own embassy as a propaganda tool.
Sounds crazy, but its better than the excuses theyre giving us now. Think
about it.
So now, while we celebrate three of our servicemen returning home, while
scratching our heads about the competence of helicopter pilots, we should be
much more concerned that the President United States of America is willing
to wage war with the rest of the planet any time he feels justified. He is
making us the worlds public enemy No. 1. And at the same time, he and his
minions are trying to remove any means to defense ourselves, and our
sovereignty. This is truly Treason of the Highest Order
and this is an Act of War.
