The “NEW” War on Poverty

by Jim Kirwan, Al-Jazeerah, April 4, 2006

“Another illustration of the passionate hatred of democracy which is consistent and must indeed be recognized ~ for there is what is called a strong line of continuity in all {US} administrations: namely that democracy is promoted - if and only If - it supports US economic and strategic objectives . . .” Noam Chomsky

The March for Immigrants Rights is a novel venture by those who support this administration’s plans to rest control over what is left of the underground economy, because that too "supports US economic and strategic interests." How else could such massive and unequaled numbers of protestors have been organized, in order to create these demonstrations? The answer is as ugly as it is duplicitous. The idea was spread far and wide by US Spanish-language television and radio promotions throughout the hemisphere, but primarily here in the United States. Those stations are owned by NBC Universal - that is owned by www.telemundo.com/telemundo/2449824/detail.html. NBC Universal is 80 % owned by General Electric and the other 20% is owned by Vivendi. www.cjr.org/tools/owners/ge.asp. Could these bastions of government supported media be responsible for organizing a supposed “grass roots” uprising of the undocumented: Of course, because this serves their purposes and not the needs of either the immigrants, or the average American.

The fuse was lit by Sensenbrenner’s legislation that passed the US House of Representatives. This callous and impossible scheme to criminalize, and possibly imprison, from eleven to fourteen million people was just an excuse, a small part of a much larger plan that will complete The New War on Poverty of 2006.

In this case this entire “illegal episode” was begun by Reagan in the 1980’s to benefit right wing corporate interests in the US and to undercut American workers by flooding this nation with cheap labor. This callous and calculated act was initiated by those who profited directly from the labor of the undocumented for decades. If we had not striped Mexico of its national resources and their vitality as a state—after the US War on Mexico—another war that began with a pre-emptive strike, none of this would be possible now. Our foreign policy then and now has created the opportunity for the poverty and exploitation of Mexico, and this latest outrage only shows how much those behind these crimes want to have it all, both ways.

The corporatists broke the law by hiring illegal workers; (something that very few were ever charged with) - thus giving impoverished people a reason to cross the border, because there were jobs awaiting their arrival! Now this government wants to use those same immigrants in a different way, one that ignores the crimes that corporate pirates committed; but one that has also made billions for their corporations in the first place. This time the point is to do away with what remains of the underground cash-economy – so that people here, both documented and undocumented will soon have even fewer options when it comes to Staying Alive.

This proposal would hypothetically stop the drug and human smuggling networks that currently make billions for the various syndicates and businesses who profit from those activities. The proposed Wall would theoretically assert America’s sovereignty (ridiculous) but this would also present a major hurdle to the establishment of the NORTH AMERICAN UNION and Amero Currency http://www.sierratimes.com/05/04/21/adamo.htm That plan wants to combine Canada the US & Mexico. This could present a possible total derailment of the illuminati master plan, to establish a one world government. For that idea to develop, it is necessary for the US to get its collective immigration policies in order. Hence the demonstrations appeared just before Bush went to Cancun, Mexico to meet with President Fox of Mexico and Prime Minister Steven Harper of Canada. Timing was extremely important.

Who is behind Steven Harper? Many believe that Harper is in favor of the absorption of Canada into the US. There is even an “Annexation Manifesto” called “True North Strong and Free” www.ourmedia.org/node/159559 . Whatever the outcomes of any of these seemingly far-out potentialities: the US plan to further ‘capture the means' that anyone needs to survive here – is ongoing.

One unplanned part of this government’s deception; created because they sought to support only one group against all the others who are also economically deprived – leaves those behind this travesty open to the problem of exposure – but onl;y if everyone affected decides to join in. The totally controlled US corporate media has kept the US population from holding similar movements against the War on Iraq; for real American jobs; or for the rights of all of us against the continuing erosion of racial, sexual, religious or economic relations; especially when poor white Americans are included, along with all those who this government continues to blame for “the crime of poverty” and which afflicts far too many millions of people already. With this new legislation, there will be at least eleven million more!

The “poor,” No matter what their composition are almost never heard from, despite their overwhelming numbers. The dangers now that are represented by Venezuela, and Bolivia, as well as a number of others in this hemisphere now threaten the NWO, if these and other growing democracies are allowed to continue. The newly liberated nation-states represent a sea-change to the blunt-instrument approach of US and Israeli foreign policy, a policy that has formerly always served to keep the slaves in line.

Just as the flood of illegal workers once served the corporations, now it becomes imperative for the same corporations to regulate the movements and incomes of all of us. In the case of immigrants this is needed so that the democratic revolutions south of the border can be affected by controlling the incomes and movements of people and families on both ends of this pipeline to jobs. This is a circumstance that masquerades as an economic opportunity. In reality the pending legislation is designed to lead to a series of chains that will shackle whatever might be left of any opportunity for anyone, regardless of where they live.

Anyone curious about how such a situation might play out, need only study the plight of the Palestinian people – a people that have been living under the total and brutal occupation-forces of Israel (supported by the USA and Britain) for over thirty-five years. In that state, this kind of control has become the hammer needed to shut down the lives of a captured people. Americans (and immigrants) will be next because we simply refuse to notice what is really going on here.

We all need jobs—decent well paying jobs. These demonstrations were designed to further segregate all who are at the bottom of the economic ladder and to force people to fight each other over whatever remains after all the downsizing and all the hundreds of thousands of layoff’s as well as the outsourcing of almost all the real work that has stripped the USA of so much of our potential and our former treasures as well: Not-to-mention the fact that that this government has undermined virtually all the rights accorded by the US Constitution to most US citizens. So this new outcry from immigrants who are here now – is being used to take down all the rest of us to a new low when it comes to either wages or rights. If this succeeds, everyone who works for a living from immigrants to citizens will lose—on everything that counts, in any country, wherever any people may be trying to live a productive life!

This truly is the rebirth of “The War on Poverty” – only this time the focus is on keeping the vast majority impoverished, and enriching their overlords even further, at the expense of a Viable World Order. However the one tool they still don’t have is total control over the cash-economy – what the government sees as all those under-the-table jobs. If this series of demonstrations works as it is supposed to, then the incomes of most people will be severely restricted, and we shall soon be joining the Palestinians in trying to fight the occupying powers that this administration represents. 911 was the opening shot that announced the War on America, and now we’re finally beginning to see the point of all the lies and all the posturing.

The “rights” that were won over the last two hundred plus years, in the USA, have been wrapped together in this potentially crushing blow to the ability of Americans and immigrants alike, to obtain the real jobs that are so necessary in keeping any population free!

The administration organized these demonstrations, but if the protests go beyond where they want them to go – then it is their agendas’ that will be challenged – and we might all benefit from that development: But only if we make ourselves heard. What is still missing from the War on Poverty of 2006, as well as from the War on America; are the real leaders who could bring substantial and lasting changes to the way life that could and should be lived – now or in the future. But with or without leadership, we must each understand and respond to what is at stake with immigration policy right now, and what is really going on!
