The more powerful the thugs who wish to steal your land – the more powerful you and your neighbors will become. Watch what’s happening in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The German King of England used German mercenaries the same way the Pentagon uses Hallibuton and Blackwater Robo-thugs.

Ironic, isn't it? George W.
