Open Letter to America from a Canadian

Never mind that earth-friendly technology already exists to once and for all end dependence on oil, coal and nuclear energy from huge, out-of-control utilities and corporations. You would rather pay through the nose for your insecure comforts, wouldn't you America, and make others pay with their blood.

by W.R. McDougall

Dear America:

And so it has come to this. Your once-great nation has fallen into madness, an affliction of mass denial that brings shivers up the spines of millions outside your borders. Yours is a sick nation. But most of you carry on as though nothing at all is the matter.

Dark, evil operations run rampant in the secret corners of your government institutions. A dubiously constituted government pursues war at will anywhere on earth, discussing nuclear options that become points for cheerful chatter over lunch. Your military and intelligence agencies employ terrorist tactics around the globe even as they insist that such tactics are necessary in the fight against terrorism.

You have become a nation of monsters, America. Hypocrites. Murderers. Fools.

Your constitution is a shambles thanks to "national security" measures resulting from what might well be U.S.-government-sanctioned terrorist attacks in New York City and Washington D.C., covert provocations designed to justify a malevolent, poisonous, oil-based military economy.

Never mind that earth-friendly technology already exists to once and for all end dependence on oil, coal and nuclear energy from huge, out-of-control utilities and corporations. You would rather pay through the nose for your insecure comforts, wouldn't you America, and make others pay with their blood.

At the same time, you stand by as the Israelis' secular Zionists--whom you support through the supply of arms and money--slaughter untold numbers of innocents in the West Bank, then blame the Palestinians for bringing the terror upon themselves. (True, there are abominable Arab suicide bombers in Israel's midst. But are they not driven to madness and desperation by your infernal support of international terrorist politics?)

As I write these words, you support a nation run by a convicted murderer by the name of Ariel Sharon who with impunity is carrying out war crimes as cruel and horrendous as those of other sadistic tyrants in history. And you say, in your utter cynicism, 'When will these Palestinians bring this war to an end?'

You recklessly wage combat on other fronts, too. At home, your War on Drugs is a disastrous 30-year folly--a gigantic con game designed to benefit lethal cartels, corrupt politicians and menacing intelligence agencies across the planet.....

With your government's support, crooked multinationals like Monsanto buy up the world's water supplies, and take possession of the world's vegetation through Frankenstein technology already known to cause illness.

Does the FDA care about any of this? It does not. It has long been on the bandwagon to foist genetically altered food on the Guinea Pigs of the country--including every man, woman and child on America's increasingly toxic soil.

You are a nation of suckers, America, to be bled dry of your hard-earned pay through outrageous bank schemes, Wall Street rip-offs and fake government budget grabs. Your Pentagon cannot account for trillions in lost dollars.

Does this bother you? Not in the least.

Your whole economy is controlled by what is for the most part ravenous, international private banking interests in the form of The Federal Reserve, which with your government's consent leads you down the garden path to certain financial ruin thanks to a national debt you will never be able to repay.

How is it that private banks are responsible for issuing your currency? How is it that they are allowed to charge ridiculous interest rates on what they issue? By decree, this was supposed to be the responsibility of your government, which could create its own currency without charging interest.

Do you realize your congress could dismiss these banks in an instant if it so wished? But don't ever count on it. More important matters are pressing. The upcoming election needs investment.

These very same money men are the ones who, through unmonitored and unrepresentative world committees, are driving countries like Argentina into hopeless debt and social upheaval. These greedy overlords are creating strife and suffering on a scale too tragic for words in nation after nation. Just look at Africa.

They've got their sights on America, now, too; disrupting economic stability through so-called free trade initiatives and provisions for special favors and the endless flow of cash to corporate monstrosities like Enron.

Amid all this, where are those who are supposed to represent your interests, America? For the most part, your congressional representatives are nothing but swine gathering at the corporate troughs. Your president is a white-collar thug, a hypocrite who through his actions celebrates war, repression and greed even as he gives lip service to peace, freedom and justice.

George W. Bush deceives you daily, the war monger hiding behind a phony patriotism. He is an Enron buddy boy, a spoiled child lying in his teeth about his past and current dirty deeds.

Does he care about you America? Hardly. This is altogether obvious to those outside your borders who are politically aware and awake to the world around them.

You were never concerned about the disgraceful practices of George's ruthless father, either, a Bin-Laden cohort and friend to criminals and killers in global drug, oil and terrorist enterprises. Iran. Vietnam. El Salvador. Chile. Guatemala. Iraq. And on and on. The never-ending bully-boy story of blood, guns, drugs and money.

Does any of this matter? No, it's simply time to eat.

Go get your ten-billionth burger, America. Fatten your already fat asses with bacteria-and-hormone-ridden meat and do nothing as you sit stupefied before your mind-numbing television sets awaiting the next episode of sad families being humiliated on "Cops."

Few among you are the least bit concerned that no real investigation of 911 has taken place, that no serious investigation of the anthrax attacks is moving forward, that no authentic investigation of Enron, or the murder of one of its top executives, is underway.

How many of you give the slightest damn about the totalitarian measures your government is taking to keep its secret meetings, grubby files and treasonous activities from your eyes?....

When did you stop caring, America? Was it after your own FBI and intelligence agencies plotted the murder of President John F. Kennedy? Or is this just the raving lunacy of the conspiracy nut? What does your gut tell you, America? Is something a little amiss here?

Forget about it. Have some Pepto-Bismol.

Today, in futility, your own government goes to court against itself for information you are entitled to by law. But this is hardly deemed vital news in the community. It is a fleeting reference in an electronic sea of meaningless banter. For proof, just look to all the spineless wimps who constitute your mainstream news media.

Today, you excoriate, ridicule and ostracize the brave and true among you. Your best investigative journalists are fired from their jobs and ignored. Congress's few courageous souls are laughed at and dismissed out of hand as crackpots. The most honest and conscientious political leader in the country, Ralph Nader, is a powerless, near-invisible curiosity easily side-lined by hired goons.

America, you are a goddamn shame.

What law matters now in your despicable state? What justice? What truth?

When will you wake up?

If you had your druthers, you would right now gather your courage, take to the streets and march on Washington D.C in the millions. But I know you will do no such thing. The vast majority of you are spiritually, emotionally and intellectually dead.

As I write these words, I can only imagine what additional horrors your shadow government might be planning in what will surely be an attempt to justify militarism and totalitarianism on a universal scale. A nuclear explosion in one of your cities, perhaps? A massive bio-chemical attack?

Or perhaps it will be some Arab terrorist who finally commits the terrible deed, his last thought before death being the promises you made to him before you killed his family.

Mr. McDougall originally wrote this letter to the Washington Post, but that paper has not yet printed it.

[Pern]

You recklessly wage combat on other fronts, too. At home, your War on Drugs is a disastrous 30-year folly--a gigantic con game designed to benefit lethal cartels, corrupt politicians and menacing intelligence agencies across the planet.....

I agree with this part, though.

[Glenn]

We should close the borders immediately. Let them eat Moose.

[Puppage]

Never mind that earth-friendly technology already exists to once and for all end dependence on oil, coal and nuclear energy

Where? Where is this being done today? Don't you think that if this were true, people would be DOING IT RIGHT NOW, and MAKING MONEY FROM IT?? If someone had a viable, alternative resource they'd be a GAZILLIONAIRE!!!!! So, WHAT ARE THEY WAITING FOR? Oh, that's right....they're waiting for A VIABLE, USEABLE RESOURCE. But, why let that stand in the way of your liberal screed, aye?

[bushfamfan]

This is nothing new for Canadians. They are vehemently anti-American, but usually hide it and play nice. And, once again, the criticism's done with such idiocy and lack of truth and refusal to recognize Canada an Canadians lust for U.S. recognition that Canada is "the" great country, while wishing for the U.S. to have "leaders" like Clintoon, who think we are a shameful country. Too bad Bush made it to the White House and gives Americans a sense of pride, this idiot isn't too happy about it. He wants Americans to feel miserable with these bull**** claims at how we are the root of all evil. He doesn't know what he's talking about. Where is that Canadian living? It's funny how they tend to always want to live in the U.S. and get the he*l out of Canada.

[Tijeras_Slim]

Two words:

Round Bacon

What's up with that?

[dighton]

Zionists, Monsanto, Guatemala, et cetera et cetera et cetera.

[Jonah Hex]

This is a pile of feces, the product of a brain-dead hatred of the United States and its people. I've never met anybody from Canada who expressed sentiments similar to this unsanitary bilge.

Are you sure Hillary! didn't write this?

[bok]

The canadians tucked tail and ran off to be loyal to the crown, i don't think his opinion is of any worth to an american.

[catfish1957]

Annex Canada.....(minus Quebec)

[grumpster-dumpster]

"Round Bacon"

Great Sunday morning wake-up laugh! Better than coffee...(well, not quite as good...but definitely an eye opener!)

[mhking]

This is nothing new for Canadians. They are vehemently anti-American, but usually hide it and play nice.

This is antithetical to anything I've ever heard from even the most radical Canadians.

This dreck is more like what we've heard from the Eurotrash - especially from the more radical Brits and the French...

Not the Canadians...

[Orual]

et cetera et cetera et cetera

[hellinahandcart]

It helps to imagine Daffy Duck reading this aloud.

Thufferin' thuccotash...

[RippleFire]

Forget about it. Have some Pepto-Bismol.

Mr. McDougall apparently forgot to take his own, much more powerful, medications.

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

WOW, this guy pushes every whacko point the DU types believe in. It is a colorful rant, but if he really believed this stuff, he would expect the US to send an agent to Canada and do a little wetwork on him. Unfortunately, he is wrong, and we won't.

"With your government's support, crooked multinationals like Monsanto buy up the world's water supplies, and take possession of the world's vegetation through Frankenstein technology already known to cause illness."

Frakenstein kudzu? Oh the HORROR!!!!

[aculeus]

I didn't know Peter Jennings could write.

[BluH2o]

As I write these words, I can only imagine what additional horrors your shadow government might be planning in what will surely be an attempt to justify militarism and totalitarianism on a universal scale. A nuclear explosion in one of your cities, perhaps? A massive bio-chemical attack?

I gather this very sick SOB is implying that the U.S. will detonate a nuclear device in one of its cities or, perhaps, orchestrate a massive bio-chemical attack on its own (shades of Iraq's Saddam) to justify the war on terrorism ... by blaming the attacks on international terrorists.

[Vigilantcitizen]

Frakenstein = Frankenstein
