World War III

Ever since I can remember as a small child, there was a fear in the hearts of man, of the coming of World War III. We Americans thought our Nation and our very way of life was being threatened. We looked for our enemies to come with guns and tanks and ships and planes and missiles delivering atomic weapons from the sky. Now we also fear chemical and biological weaponry, as we should. But those things are not the BIGGEST threat to our Nation and our very way of life.

It all reminds me of the story, of the truck that was just a little too tall to clear a bridge that it tried to pass under and got stuck, and all the King's horses, and all the King's men, brilliant thinkers that they be, were trying to figure out how to get it dislodged from beneath the bridge, until a simple minded little boy came along, and said “why don't you let the air out of the tires.

They took this small child's advice and let the air out of the tires and were able to back the truck right out. They were looking at the most complex ways to solve the problem, like cutting the bridge or truck with saws and cutting torches, and overlooking the simplest solution of all.

World War III is real, and it is a threat to our very way of life, and the Greatness of our very Nation, and it is not some abstract idea happening in some future time. It is HERE and it is NOW, and it has been going on for decades.

While we guarded our front door, we left the rear door wide open and we have been nearly overtaken by the enemy, and are almost losing the battle, most of us don't even realize we are in.

We have many traitors, people who have betrayed our country by committing treason and sold out to the enemy. Businessmen, politicians, and the American consumer at large.

All losing sight of the BIG PICTURE due to greed and self interests. Most all treasonous men do such things in the name of greed and self interests. Who will defend our country from this enemy that no one seems to see but me?

It is almost impossible not to aid and abed the enemies, for we have let them gain such a stronghold on our Great Nation.

In the end, this economic war, the real World War III, may not be the war to end all wars, but it will surely take our Great Nation from the richest most prosperous, powerful nation of all times, to an also-ran at best. The battle is closer to over, than any one of us might realize, and it is not looking good for us.

We are losing the silent battle in leaps and bounds, on a daily basis. Just try to buy a television or radio, a shirt or a pair of jeans, a computer or a cell phone, that is made in the United States. Almost impossible, and it gets tougher every day.

This Great Nation was build in big part, by the US auto industry, just check your history books, if you don't believe me. We are losing ground everyday in that arena as well. Most of the cars with American name plates on them are not even made in this country and the ones that are, contain more imported parts than you could ever imagine.

What if there was a war, where not a single shot was fired, not a single drop of blood was spilled, but the Greatest Nation of all times was reduced to third world status?

It won't take too long to find out the “what if” of it all. I fear I will see it come to fruition in my life time, if we don't wake up and smell the coffee.
