Subject:           The Questions Government Won't Ask

Date:               October 12, 2001

Dear Senator Boxer:

Please consider this request for information an interrogatory prior to my filing a Petition for Redress of Grievance against the US Government.  I do not take these matters lightly, and request that you and your office give these questions your full and prompt attention.  

Since the September 11 'Revenge on America,' not one  government spokesman has publicly asked or entertained the obvious  questions any intelligent person would ask:

1. What motivated this 'Attack?'       
2. Why does so much of the world hate the USA?

Why do you think no one within government is asking these questions, and why won't the US Government-licensed TV networks discuss them?  Is it because the problem is of obvious cause--too much interference in Muslim countries by the US Government?  

Since 1991 the US Government has murdered 1,250,000 (ONE AND A QUARTER MILLION) Iraqis with incessant bombing raids, embargoes, and other hostile overt, and covert measures.   Fully 500,000 of the victims of this US GENOCIDE were children.  Former Secretary of State Madelyn Albright suggested that this 'collateral damage' was 'worth it.'    This 3rd largest case of world genocide has been conducted by terror-linked US government agencies without a declaration of war, or the consent or knowledge of the people of the United States.  And, it has placed the peace-loving US public at as great of peril as the violent leaders of the US Government!    I can see nothing achieved by the US in the Mid-East this past decade which was worth the loss of even one child.  Can you, Senator?  

Would you please help me here.  Specifically, I am requesting your answers to the following 12 questions:

1.  I believe my table above does not tell the entire story.  Could you request from the US Dept. of Genocide the correct figures.  I would like to know all information including casualty totals regarding the covert and overt genocide conducted by the US Government and it's various terror-linked agencies (IRS, BATF, FBI, NSA, CIA, UN, NATO, Israel, etc.) since 1975.

2.  Do you consider it 'Peace-Keeping' when the US murders millions, and 'Terrorism' when those affected by our unthinkable genocide murder a scant 6,000 Americans?   Why is that?  I would consider the first instance terrorism and the second a miniscule downpayment on a  revenge.  What is it I'm not seeing or understanding? 

3.  How many murders and territorial thefts has Israel carried out with US funding since 1975?  Against who?

4.  What other intermediary agencies does the government use to accomplish it's global acts of murder and mayhem?  Do you support these actions?  If not, what are you doing to stop them?

5.  How much money or armaments has the US given to Israel since 1975?

6.  Do you think the US Government has the moral integrity to conduct any business most especially further terrorist strikes against the Islamic world?  

7.  Can you express your personal assessment and feeling regarding the future risk to American citizens posed by the seething hatred currently being sewn by the current military strikes which you personally voted to authorize, and our strong-arm 'coalition-building' among fellow-scoundrel nations?  

8.  Did you ever encourage a diplomatic solution to the problems the US Government has created?  If not why not?  If so, How?  When?  .  

9. Americans can no longer afford your government.  It currently steals in excess of 55% of my earnings--my property-- the fruits of my labor.  Senator, this is money I would of course prefer to spend on my loved ones and their welfare....not on murdering the enemies of the corporations who contribute to unprincipled elected officials.  You forcibly steal tens of thousands of dollars per year from me and tens of millions of other working-class wage-slaves and do that which is morally repugnant to us--you commit international hate crimes committing acts of genocide and race-based terrorism such as the murder of 500,000 Iraqi children.  I consider this a violation of my human rights.  Do you?   If not, why not?  If you do, what are you doing about it?    

10.  If you agree with me that the US Government is violating my human rights by stealing my money and murdering innocent people with it--an act I find utterly deplorable, to which other country, tribunal, or authority do you suggest I appeal?  I know US Presidents frequently like to accuse China and other independent countries who won't cave in to our bullying & restrictive trade policies of 'Human Rights Violations.'  Should I confine my appeal to a Petition for Redress of Grievance against the US Government, or should I contact the Chinese government, too?  Which, if either,  would be more helpful in stopping the theft and the murders carried out by your government against it's citizens?  

11.  What specific benefit has resulted to the US taxpayers by the murdering of 500,000 Iraqi children and 750,000 of their parents?  And, do you think the September 11 revenge on America might have been the most significant 'benefit?'   Would you support holding the instigators of the US Genocide in Iraq criminally liable for the September 11 attacks?   If not, why not?  

12.  If you cannot list huge material, spiritual, and human benefit to the US Government Genocide committed against Iraq, can you then explain to me why you would have voted in favor of authorizing more genocide (this time in Afghanistan) as you did a few days after the Sept. 11 revenge? 

Seeking peace, freedom, and understanding,
