Dear Congressperson.......

 

 

Here are a series of letters to Congress critters that 'represent' us here in Maine.

 

• Members of our government participated in planning and implementing destruction of the Nordstream 1 and 2 Pipelines.  If any other actor in the world had done the same, my government would declare it a terrorist act and seek redress.

As Maine's Senate and Representatives to Congress, I implore you to seek the truth of what happened, and hold accountable both individuals and government agencies that facilitated this act, and any cover up that followed.

Rather than continue to escalate, tt is long past time to demand negotiations to end this war in Ukraine, and to redirect Pentagon funds (the single government agency that has never passed an audit!) to decrease our country's contributions to climate change. Rather than pave the way to World War III, it's time to act as though we really do want humanity to survive this century.

Yes, I expect to hear from you on this issue.

• The US is sinking fast as a credible leader. Destroying Nordstream was the act of a spoiled, even demonic child. We are an embarrassment in the world when we could be wise. 

When will Europe throw up its hands in wonder that they could ever have trusted us. The emperor is down to his Bully Suit…for all the world to see. 

Take a deep breath and step on to a whole new path. A path to sharing. A path to wisdom and sustainability. I wish you well. 

This is what Sy Hersh said when asked how he found courage to speak the truth: "What’s courageous about telling the truth? Our job isn’t to be afraid. And sometimes it gets ugly. There have been times in my life, when — you know, I don’t talk about it. Threats aren’t made to people like me; they’re made to children of people like me. There’s been awful stuff. But you don’t worry about it — you can’t. You have to just do what you do.”

• I am horrified and you should be, too, to read Pulitzer prize winning journalist Seymour Hersh's recent article on the Nordstream pipeline terrorist attack by the Biden administration.

Congress must immediately begin hearings to shed light on our government's terrorism activities and bring the participants of this crime to justice.

This is a massive disgrace for our nation which is.fast becoming a pariah state in the eyes of the rest of the world. It also happened to cause an increase in fuel prices for all Americans.
This crime cannot go unpunished.

• The U.S. has a long history of intervening in foreign countries. Our actions involving Ukraine are only the latest example of U.S. foreign policy.

Statements by members of Congress and the Administration declaring that Russia’s actions in 2022 were “Unprovoked” belies and ignores factual history – to wit:

                -President Clinton’s decision in the 90’s to use NATO to surround Russia with military bases and military exercises.

-Supporting the 2014 coup that replaced a democratically elected pro Russian president who supported the Nord Stream pipeline with an anti Russian president.

-training and supplying far right malitias that self identified as neofascist.

-supporting eight years of civil war.

-blocking Naftali Bennett’s efforts to mediate negotiations between Ukraine and Russia.  

Blowing up the Nord Stream pipeline did not happen prior to the Russian action but shows the extent to which U.S. efforts to oppose all things Russian will follow. As one of your constituents I am saddened and ashamed at the actions of my Government, both at the Administrative and Congressional levels.

• How do you feel about presiding over World War 3? Will you be satisfied with how history treats your role in the U.S. making war on both Russia and China -- at the same time! -- and attacking countries that are supposedly our allies? The sabotage of NordStream pipelines has had many ill effects already: an enormous release of methane, the most harmful of greenhouse gases. A very cold winter without adequate heat in Germany, the other NATO powerhouse. Shredding of respect for the U.S. among other nations. A huge loss of credibility.

And, we have not even seen the military response from Russia that is to be expected after we destroyed a valuable investment in energy infrastructure between that country and Germany.

If you have studied history at all, Senator Collins, you would know that we are in a very precarious situation that could easily end in total nuclear annihilation for most life on Earth. If that happens, you will no longer need to be concerned with your legacy as a leader. There will be no one left to know or care about your support for WW3.

• I am more than angry to read Pulitzer prize winning journalist Seymour Hersh's recent article on the Nordstream pipeline terrorist attack by the Biden administration.

It is no surprise that western mainstream media is down-playing this blockbuster story. Congress must immediately begin hearings and bring the participants of this crime to justice. What tiny bit of respect the US still had around the world has now collapsed. This is a massive disgrace for our nation. This crime cannot go unpunished.

• I can think of absolutely no reason to think that Biden, his handlers, and the State Department (probably many people in Congress knew about it before the explosions) did not order the blowing up of the Nord Stream Pipeline (s).  This  is very likely an act of International Terrorism. Seymour Hersh is a Pulitzer Prize Winning Investigative Reporter, and his block-busting article goes into much detail. This accusation demands accountability. That accountability will very likely not come from the White House, from Corporate Media, or from Congress. It will necessarily  need to come from US.     

Everyone who knew about this needs to be held accountable and  severely punished. We need to write letters to ALL of our U.S. Senators and Representatives; write Letters to the Editor to ALL of our local papers;  publicize this horrible Terrorist Attack on Facebook, Twitter, and on all online platforms;  and talk to neighbors, co-workers, members of our clubs and gyms, to our faith communities, and to our families. This - if true - is very likely worse than any action by any administration in recent history - probably excepting the endless wars. If this slides back under the radar then we have only ourselves to blame, and we will likely see worse actions in the future. I think the question should not be "Did he do it?"  

I think the question should be  "What are we going to do about it?" and "Are we going to try to save what's left of a dying democracy?"
