“We will bankrupt ourselves in the vain search for absolute security.” -Dwight D. Eisenhower
“How far can you go without destroying from within what you are trying to defend from without?” -Dwight D. Eisenhower
Generals gathered in their masses
Just like witches at black masses
Evil minds that plot destruction
Sorcerers of deaths construction
In the fields the bodies burning
As the war machine keeps turning
Death and hatred to mankind
Poisoning their brainwashed minds, oh lord yeah!
Black Sabbath – War Pigs
As Americans mindlessly celebrate another Memorial Day with cookouts, beer and burgers, the U.S. war machine keeps churning. As we brutally enforce our will on foreign countries, we create more people that hate us. They don’t hate us for our freedom. They hate us because we have invaded and occupied their countries. They hate us because we kill innocent people with predator drones. They hate us for our hypocrisy regarding democracy and freedom. Just when we had the opportunity to make a sensible decision by leaving Iraq and exiting the Middle East quagmire, Obama made the abysmal choice to casually sacrifice more troops in the Afghan shithole. We have thrown over $1.3 trillion down Middle East rat holes over the last 11 years with no discernible benefit to the citizens of the United States. George Bush and Barack Obama did this to prove they were true statesmen. The Soviet Union killed over 1 million Afghans, while driving another 5 million out of the country and retreated as a bankrupted and defeated shell after ten years. Young Americans continue to die, for whom and for what? Our foreign policy during the last eleven years can be summed up in one military term, SNAFU – Situation Normal All Fucked Up. These endless foreign interventions under the guise of a War on Terror are a smoke screen for what is really going on in this country. When a government has unsolvable domestic problems, they try to distract the willfully ignorant masses by proactively creating foreign conflicts based upon false pretenses. General Douglas MacArthur understood this danger to our liberty.
“I am concerned for the security of our great Nation; not so much because of any threat from without, but because of the insidious forces working from within.”

There are still way too many Americans who are so desperate to prove what great citizens they are (to who??) (remember the MILLIONS of Germans cheering Hitler??) that they AGREE to the decimation of the Bill of Rights, military equipment and technology being used in America against otherwise law-abiding and innocent citizens, things like the "Patriot Act" (Jefferson would have DIED laughing at THAT misnomer) and the NDAA, and elected leaders (after swearing to uphold the Constitution) making law after law that spits on that hallowed document, all the while telling us "its for our own good"; being scared and willing to give our precious freedoms to defeat the latest boogeyman. The generations that fought the Nazi's, facism, communism, and totalitarianism have largely disappeared. What's left is a very large group of people who have never sacrificed anything or served anything for the greater good. They know little to nothing about our history -- just exactly the way our "leaders" want it. Just waiting for the next check to arrive and chanting "USA! USA! USA!" at football games. Stalin killed TWENTY MILLION (!!) of his own people and he is STILL revered in the Soviet Union. THAT tells you a lot about the power of propaganda and the power of the state. A lot like what's going on in the USA now.....
ReplyDeleteSoldiering is the last bastion of participatory pride a lot of disenfranchised American families can lay claim too given modern dysfunction and poor mobility for the uneducated and unskilled.
ReplyDeleteHitler and Stalin . . . Both Jews. Just saying. . .
ReplyDeleteBolshevism was a Khazaran Jewish creation.
