Armed madhouse.Best viewed large.If you want to see how mad it really is check out this. www.911missinglinks.com

A collage of images I took in the USA.

Unfortunately, all over the world the madhouses are more than the wisehouses! Excellent capture. 7/7 an. Glauco

Very well realized collage. Lighting is great, so are the colours!

Hi Berta

 

Interesting image ,Although it seems like it portrays the US as a provocateer ,,/Invading army ..distroying all before it ....

 

And yet .....Millions of school age girls in afganistan and Iraq can now go to school and learn .....because of this armed madhouse ........

 

Perhaps it would work better with USSR solders and georgians in Background ...For many ignore what is occurring there ,yet it may well begin a process no one can undue ......

 

With this armed madhouse again coming to the aid of an underpriviliged , start up democracy begging for help .....Should we abandon them in their hour of need ......After they have spent the last several years assiting and fighting side by side with us in Iraq ....

? And allow the USSR to effectivly annex them ....? .....Or go to thier assistence ...

 

Many are not aware we now have navy ships in georgian ports ....and if some drunk russian enlisted soldier decides to take a shot at some of our guys ...We are in another cuban missle crisis ,,...and have been since aug 8th ....without it seems the publics knowledge of how serious this is ...........Very Scarry ..........

 

And IF the World decides that actions taken by USSR are illegal and force's them to leave ....Who will enforce the worlds order to leave ......

 

The Same armed Madhouse ....I leave you with this last thought ...In order to insure World Peace ......Speak softly ...........And Carry a BIG Stick ......

Political comments aside...this is a n extremely well done image...Marjorie

Espectacular, ... Saludos.

it's a great critical photo. love the thought behind that. the photo itself is a masterpiece

VERY, VERY beautiful indeed. I wish my english was better to tell how much I like it!

Firstly thanks to all who commented and rated,the photos were taken at an airshow,not new technologyand it is a collage of MY OWN PHOTOS...NOW to answer Jeffreys comment.The USA is the provocateur,it quite often has been,but by stealth,and always with a motive which is not humanitarian,if there is not a dollar in it you would not go there.When you start to mention Russia and Georgia,you are obviously listening to what your news and government tells you.The facts on the situation in Georgia is this.In 2006 Bush gave to go ahead for the Isralies to strike Iran from bases in Georgia,the command of a lunatic.Since then the Isralies have been in Georgia helping the Georgians build up their military,training them,equiping them ect.Don,t forget the Georgians at the behest of these crazies went into South Onsettia first.What did you expect the Russians to do?At the same time the USA negotiates to put a missile defense system in Poland, 160 kilometers from the Russian border.What do you think the USA would do if the Russians put a defense system that close to the USA border.You would blow them to kingdom come,and say God commanded you to do it .So you view yourself and your country as saviours of the rest of the world.You obviously have not read history,how many dictators you have supported and armed, including Norriego (Central america),Marcos (Phillipines), Pinnochet,all for control of their resources and strategic positions.All CIA backed and then there is Osama Bin Laden whom you are now hunting.You armed him with weapons to use against the Russians.Now to the good deeds you are doing in Iraq and Afghanistan.Yes killing innocent women,children and civilians, do not rate as good deeds in my book.Iraqis dead since you entered that country now stands at 1,252,595,(all terrorist and insurgents??).I was in Iraq three weeks before you illegally invaded it, it was a beautiful country full of gentle people, look at it now,you have raped an pillaged that country,how many millions and millions of dollars did you steal from Iraq on the pretext it was going to be used for reconstruction BS.I have also been to Afghanistan and seen the atrocities committed by the USA there,hundreds and hundreds of children born deformed because of your uranium munitions.The people of Afghanistan and Iraq do not give a damn about your freedom BS.The rape and murders by US forces in both countries.Kidnapping women and gang raping them, a 70 year old man was even raped by your heroic soldiers.Little girls raped and their families killed to cover up the crime.I would love to be able to post some of the photos I took of the handiwork of your government,but I don,t think they would be permitted on the site.On my last note, a country that cannot even look after its own people but can spend $547,917,763,169 trillion dollars on a war that helps no-one is a country doomed.To prop up your economy and your lust for oil you also have to borrow from countries such as China to the tune of 6 Billion a month.I have been there and seen it, so don,t lecture me on what is right and what is wrong...PS I have also lived in the USA for a number of years when I was younger, but had the sense to get out.Now you will properly be giving me 3/3,s for my photos from now on,does not worry me,I stand by what I think is right and humane and neither ABU GHRAIB-IRAQ-AFGHANISTAN are the actions of a humane caring society but that of a dictatorial armed madhouse powered by the almighty dollar.

excellent work, birte.

Birte:

 

I've just read your bio...and we are not very far apart on matters political, ecologicial, or humanitarian. I am devoted to many charities, and deplore the killing I've seen. I want a green earth for my child and grandchild to enjoy. I wish that war could be abolished, and renewable resources used to feed and clothe and sustain, equitably, every man, woman and child on earth. All people are entiled to good medical care, but many are denied the most rudimentary care. I'm a 56 year old physician ( which is, incidentally, why I do spell poorly - I'm used to writing quickly, and if I can't spell a word, I just write it phonetically ). I've seen too much death and suffering to be a jingoist - even though that's how I came across. I reflexed as an ex-military officer...a position into which I was forced, and did not seek. I cannot go into detail, given the state of our government's suspicious vigilance, but I will say that your phenomenology and mine coincide in many ways; we likely belong to several of the same humanitarian organizations. I am withdrawing the low rating, and I apologize if I offended you. I won't rate the posting, as it is blatantly antagonistic to America - and Americans. For all it's faults, I love my country, for there are many well intended people here. But I understand your perspective, and respect it.

 

With regards,

Craig Unger

Apart from this collage being top class, I would like to add that whatever your views are, you do have the courage to stand up and express them. You don't hide or run...therefore Birte you could disregard becoming a politician, because they seem to have great difficulty in answering any questions with a resemblance to the truth! Take care...Keith

Great picture Birte. Max and best regards.

Impresionante y aterrador! Por desgracia el Homo sapiens es así, desde siempre. Tambien tenemos nuestras facetas humanas: ciencia, arte, etc.

 

Free translation: Shoking and frightening! Unfortunately that's an Homo sapiens feature, always. However we have also some good dimensions: science, art..

 

Great work!

Good morning Birta ,

Well seems like I unintentionally offended you and for that I am sorry ,(By commenting honestly on your image ...)You will also notice I gave you a 5-6 not a 3-3 and would not do so ..I rate on what i view as commercially acceptable images a 6-6 means I feel it can and should be sold and I feel it will be profitable ....a 5-6 means it will probibly sell but i would be far more cautious ....

 

Now to the rest of the story ....

What country has freed over a billion people world wide ,who had they decided to stay home ,most of the world would currently be speaking german or japenese ....

What country provides the largest portion to all un manadates and funding requests ....The Us 25%

 

what country provides more aid to countrys around the world in need on a yearly basis .....The US

 

What Country provides more money for aids research and devolopment around the world ..than any other ........you guessed it The USA ...

 

Now as to the chinese providing huge loans to the US , seems to me when you illegally prop up your own countries currency by 20% or more ....this enables that country to create more trade with its partners primarily because of cost ....

 

Iraq ...

WheW ..This is something many have strong feelings about ...as I do .....

 

 

first and foremost I still have many connections in the military ...and If you have images showing US forces raping murdering or anything else you stated please send copys to me , or e copys and I will hand deliver to the tampa base general and insure action is taken ...nothing I hate worse than a military man going off the ranch ......however the conduct you mention is at most a very tiny amount of overall forces in theatre ...As to the large number of deaths that have occured there ,90% were sectarion vengence killings which is citizen to citizen violence ,...Can you honestly tell me the people of Iraq are worse off now ....than when saddam hussien and his murdering sons would go out nightly with the bands of thugs drag entire familys into the street and either exicute them there or take em to there special place to torture and maim its citizens ...Do you think the 5000 iraqs killed by saddams chemical attack would agree with you as to how great life was when ruled by saddam ..?

Now for the first time in 100 years people in iraq can go to school and learn...Knowledge is power ...and with an 80,000,000 million dollar oil Surplus to help there people,Why because of our help in updating and bringing back on line there oil fields ... yet we americans are villified as to the ' we want there oil philosphy ' ....If true why not simply ship all that oil to the US and enable the iraq people to pay the US for bringing that country its freedom (trillions of dollars now .......perhaps youve never encountered some of the atrocitys saddam and his henchmen conducted against his own people ....but I would be willing to bet that if you asked 100 differnt Iraqs' from around the country as to whether they are better off now than when Saddam ran things .....a vast majority would uneqivically state WE ARE BETTER OFF NOW ....

.Anyways thats my anwser and No you will not recieve 3-3s on any images you post ..if it will make you feel better look at my stats Ive given 36 ..3-3s out of 30,000 images rated ....I do believe that the inacurracys stated here are mimicked by many around the globe ...I truly wonder what would occur if Us did simply leave all world matters to others ..and Stopped sending any money to anycountry any where ...within a few years we would no longer have a budget deficit ......however 1st year of no aid to anywhere in the world and millions would starve to death across the globe ...

 

Poland :

This is a country who has felt the Iron boot of the Russian military machine ....and where annexed by russia and are now being threatened again by russia ..the Missle shield being placed there is desighned to take out 1 or 2 rogue nation missles it is not able to defend against a russian attack nor is it meant for that ...you'll notice though Poland after seeing the actions taken By the USSR sighned the deal ...As Condi said this is not 1989 ...Poland now has a treaty with the US that if attacked by russia (as stated by russian general ) We and all of nato will come to her defence ....Seems like thats the only time the us recieves any credit when we use our military to free a people and help ///I wonder how the baltic members who were being butchered prior to the US coming in would say ...As we protected muslims from being murdered /....

 

My main point with yesterdays post was this ....

There are many things going on currently that very few of the worlds normal citizens understand ,between Isreal ,Iran ,North Korea , Venezuala ,Russia ect to me this feels like pre 1940 and that we are all about to experience something that we shall wish we did not /....and I believe we will see a flash point start up prior to jan of this year ..I hope I am wrong ...But the sighns are all here ....

With that I wish you a good day ...

And I still hope for you to visit me in oct ...

Regards Jeff

I just read every single word in your description on your photo and your idea about USA politics. as a matter of fact I'm not fluent in English so I can't tell all my words and meanings. I just try to say something close to what's in my mind. first of all: I'm not a politician and have never been a politic lover, coz i hate the word POLITICS. this word is exactly opposite of the word PEACE which we all need in our life. I have always dreamt of peace, that's why I can't tolerate politicians. they are all just a bunch of liars, but unfortunately the power is in their hand and they rule the world. so we can never expect to live in peace, not now and not in future. there should always be war in at least a part of the world. the arms and guns are producing each day and somebody should buy them, why should we live in peace?!!!!! I come from a country which may be attacked by US army at every moment. our economics situation is getting wors and wors each day and life is getting hard for my people. they just wish this happens. i mean they wish the US come someday. but I know that won't make it better, coz I'm seeing what happend and is happening to Iraq and Afghanistan. I respect JEFFREY's ideas and words, because he has served a lifetime for his country, but he

may think that our children can go to school after US attack. I just let him know that we are one of the most educated nations in the world and many of most famous scientists and doctors come from here. just take a look at NASA's top names. most of them come from Iran. not only all of us have schools, but also we send many of our best students to US each year. I myself am a computer and IT engineer. as it was published in BBC just a few days ago, most of the British Colombia unversity's top students come from only one university (Sharif University in Tehran). I don't agree with my government's politics and sights, but i think the possible future attack won't be the right way................... your photo and title may seem funny at first, but in fact it scares me. what will happen if these (mad) men come here? god bless us. I just can wish someday wise men get the power and rule the world. but it's impossible, I'm sure about that. I wish there was no oil in middle east. I just wish...

Thank you for your comment, you have reason to worry.The latest news is that the Kurdistan government has just given the go ahead for the USA to build a large air base right on the border with Iran.There is a reason for this and the build up of missile defense systems in Poland.I know Iranians are very educated and if you have a wife and children,for the sake of them you should perhaps be thinking of visiting a country like Sweden.They would welcome someone with your qualifications.

...worthy of a Hollywood action movie poster. Unfortunately this is the image America presents to the World, but when you hold up a mirror we don't like what you see....RickDB

Great image Birte. Keep on your work for peace. Ciao.

By all measures this pictorial image is a GREAT photographic work ! and that is BEYOND any political views or judgement.

Politics aside, I find the "photoshop" work to be a bit clumsy. This is especially evident around the edges of the engines of the jet. There is room for improvement in that respect.

Strong feelings, and very dynamic image. Well done +++

regards

Really outstandind work, Birte!

 

Regards, Rakesh.

Man, we really need a category or a separate place for this kind of computer art. This is not a photograph anymore, nothing with that, it just does not deserve the label photograph. By the way, I am former military, worked on the deck of an aircraft carrier, have many wonderful photographs that portray that.
