What happened???<br /> Be well.<br />randy.randyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16659230610436922709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8458786710697760224.post-60305808060581568702011-12-09T23:42:55.340-08:002011-12-09T23:42:55.340-08:00Hi the three of you,
please pleasse dig a little ...Hi the three of you, <br />please pleasse dig a little bit deeper:<br />It is not the politicians that are mainly responsible for wars, cause they are tied to the apron strings of the really big investors.<br />The war of Afghanistan for instance lost any of its reasons. The Chinese made the contracts with the oil and gas-producers in Kazachstan --- In the following the big American investers lost those billions they had invested into oil and gas-piplines to bring this oil and gas to western inustries. To get a little bit of that money back, the invested into "Continued War in Afghanistan" --- because - Nikki said it -investing in war and weapons is always highly profitable!!<br />Ehmmm, btw: Jabbeldu Bushs grandfather investeed into the massmurderer Hitler, because that went to war against the "communists" !! Killing in the wake even thousands of American soldiers ....<br />It is NOT the politicians, that are mainly responsible for wars, cause they are tied to the apron strings of the really big investors.<br />Hugs all around<br /><3 milesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8458786710697760224.post-63242276850237716792011-12-09T08:26:22.953-08:002011-12-09T08:26:22.953-08:00One more randy,

They demonstrated against the stationing of U.S. missiles in Germany and the military buildup of NATO. Many demonstrations ended in street blockades and civil disobedience. Often they were attacked with water cannons and tear gas.<br />During this time, many anti-war books have been published, you will not find longer on the market today. Many of these books showed the ugly face of war and its victims.<br />Examples are:<br />Ernst Friedrich - "Krieg dem Kriege" - "War against War" - 1924 Berlin - 1980ff Zweitausendeins-Verlag Frankfurt.<br />Kurt Fasmann - "Gedichte gegen den Krieg" - "Poems against the war" - 1961 Kindler-Verlag München.<br />I do not know whether it's English translations and editions.<br />NikkiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8458786710697760224.post-31491089403853404222011-12-08T11:10:04.994-08:002011-12-08T11:10:04.994-08:00Hi Scottie;
Thank you, but I'm just a fat mi...Hi Scottie;<br /> Thank you, but I'm just a fat middle aged white guy in mid-west America. What do I know about war? What do I know about how children and women, folks at a celebration, are an enemy? <br /> I guess looking at pictures of war where men fight on a field makes some sort of sense to me...but targeting innocents???? I am reminded of a song Declan did when he was little http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NKMoHLxDncU&feature=results_main&playnext=1&list=PLACE4652065F489F5 there are other versions, of course, but why do grown men and women wage war without mirrors? How do they not see?<br /><br /> Thank you for your kind words, Scottie. Last night after posting this I was a bit torn up. It's great to have such friends in this world!<br /><br />hugs and love;<br />randy.randyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16659230610436922709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8458786710697760224.post-74921741949040370382011-12-08T06:54:42.641-08:002011-12-08T06:54:42.641-08:00Hello Randy.

And we need to read them, understand them. <br /><br />Maybe there is hope for us that at least a few , such as your self, can not look at this tragic event and not see the people. People like your self who bring to the rest of our attention to the fact that these are people, like us, who have needs, desires, who feel pain and suffer. Like us. <br /><br />This is caused by the thought of them...not being like us. Thanks what ever it is that gives us people like you who can see that THEY ARE US. We are them. <br /><br />The beings who do this are not like us. They can't be. They sadly must have forgotten how to feel. I hope I never forget, and I am glad if I ever did, I know people like you who would remind me. <br /><br />Please don't ever shy from posting what we all need to see, and keep reminding us how it really is. The world needs people to do that.<br /><br />Hugs and loves.

Every government does...Yes Randy, you're right!<br />Every government does business with the war.<br />Only yesterday was the news, that the German armaments industry in the last year exported about 30% more war weapons, as in the previous year.<br />A German politician has made the blasphemous saying "Germany is defended in the Hindu Kush."<br />The former "Bundespräsident" German Federal President Horst Köhler even told the truth, as he confirmed in an interview that the Afghanistan war serves the economic interests - shortly afterwards he had to resign. (2010).<br />Founded in 1949 as the "Federal Republic of Germany," was a general consensus that Germany must not participate in any war. By 1955, this was forgotten when the Western Allies called for the armament of Germany and the admission into NATO.<br />And since reunification and the collapse of the "East-bloc" ("Ostblock"), we mix with lively everywhere. - Maybe even "have to" participate. Perhaps we still need to do what the occupation forces want.<br />And then the whole "Friede - Freude - Eierkuchen - Weihnachtsrummel" "Peace - Joy - Pancakes - Christmas rush"!!!<br />Have a good day!<br />NikkiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
