The sexist, racist, felon accused of rape and other crimes that sits in the white house and represents the people of the so-called United States (Stolen land, euro colonial settler project) and his white supremacist wannabe crusader secretary of defense who seems to love to kill B.I.P.O.C. are both war criminals committing war crimes. The bombing of fisherman is a crime. Even if the racist that represents the people of the so-called “Land of the Brave” were correct about his assumptions, human beings still need to be tried by courts and it needs to be proven that a crime has been committed.
What if a foreign power accused (the accused rapist)sitting in the white house of being a sexual predator (accused of many crimes), and what if a foreign power accused the U.S. of being complicit in genocide (Gaza), and of being responsible for the deaths of millions of Muslims in the last 30 years? What if a foreign power told the U.S. that they would shut down their air space?
Why doesn’t the world sanction Israel or any of these western powers committing genocide? How could these western powers sanction Russia so quickly, and not the U.S. when the U.S. invaded Iraq? What purpose does the so-called United Nations play, when they cannot physically put a stop to Israelis killing and starving Palestinians?
Your tattoos are your medals your soldier’s parade Your tags are everywhere just look at those 4 faces ´on stolen ground, that’s sacred you are the number one salesman of weapons and pharmaceuticals worldwide yet criminalize the small fry, who sells nines, and dimes
They play the victim, when they have always been the oppressor Oh, they will bunker down in the land they stole they rather blow up the planet then give up any control They rather defecate on the earth, and move to Mars Then try to live in harmony with the planet because that’s just too hard
they lock us up, for fighting in the street while they make war with the global south killing people of color to make sure they don’t breed Their Lady Liberty is a KKKlans woman with her hood in her back pocket, holding volume one of Mein Kampf, and a torch, which she probably means to use in a hate crime
They still believe that God will reward them And punish BIPOC Just like their foreign policy Punished BIPOC Just like their banks Punished BIPOC
As a child when I learned about the Holocaust it truly broke my heart. I wondered how no one could help them, how could anyone be so cruel, especially to children?
Living in the empire, I had never learned anything about Palestine. I did not know what Palestine was until I was in my early thirties. That is how good the propaganda was in the United States. The same country that indoctrinated me into believing they were a force for good in the world.
The last four weeks of watching videos of Palestinian people being bombed and mutilated bodies including thousands of children killed, has broken my heart. My heart goes out to the people of Palestine. My heart goes out to everyone that has lost a family member or family members. I pray to God that help will come to them, and I pray that the perpretators are held accountable for their crimes.
It breaks my heart thinking about the millions of Muslims killed by the west in the last 40 years. I think to myself what if those people also had phones and channeled the images to the world? Would things havebeen different? Would those wars have ended sooner? Would the citizens of these imperialistic western countries have awakened to the crimes committed in our name. I also am truly saddened by the images that it hurts to watch on social media, thinking, we can actually look away, but the people who live in Palestine, cannot simply just look away. It is truly heart breaking.
I feel saddened by thinking, I can’t watch these videos on social media, then I think about the people living in Palestine, and how they can’t just NOT LOOK, it is their real life situation.
I am so saddened by the actions of the United States and their crimes against the Muslim people over the last 40 years
Educate Yourself
We must really study the history of the region. We must study how the Ottoman Empire was broken up after W.W.I and we must study British Mandate Palestine.
The evil we are witnessing on social media is horrendous. The mainstream media is clearly biased, and insensitive to all this suffering. We as a human race have to unify to push for peace.
Recent studies show that, one in every five, or one in every six children worldwide live in a conflict zone; that is totally unacceptable! There is too much trauma in this world! Too much pain! When will the healing start?
The Weapons companies whose stock rise as humans are blown to pieces commodify suffering. They have no conscience, they have no shame. If the United Nations can’t stand up and say, Enough! Then what the heck is its purpose?
We live in a world, where they have the audacity to tell us who we can show solidarity for, and who is and who isn’t a worthy victim. We live in a racist world that values some lives over others. A world where some histories are repeatedly told and others never mentioned. We live in a world where some countries with great Public Relations/Propaganda Departments, actually make their people believe they are a good force in the world; meanwhile hiding their imperialistic histories and murderous present actions.
Growing up as a child in the United States and being flooded by war propaganda my whole life. I remember I used to think that “I wish I get to see World War Three, in my lifetime.” I really wished I could partake in the war and do my part to defend my country. And I blame all that on the indoctrination and brainwashing that is growing up in the empire. From the G.I. dolls and cartoons to every Hollywood film, that would show the white male returning from World War 2 a hero. I thought to myself, “That is what men do.”
I now find myself in a situation, where I may one day have that ill-thought desire come true, and I really wish it never comes true. I have studied the crimes of many countries, especially my own, and I now realize that war is evil, and that like the great essay written by General Smedley Darlington Butler, states”War is a Racket.”
“I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism. I helped make Mexico and especially Tampico safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street. I helped purify Nicaragua for the International Banking House of Brown Brothers in 1902-1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for the American sugar interests in 1916. I helped make Honduras right for the American fruit companies in 1903. In China in 1927 I helped see to it that Standard Oil went on its way unmolested. Looking back on it, I might have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents.”
I really wish we lived in a world where human beings interacted with others peacefully. I wish we lived in a world where no person had to flee their country due to war or famine. I wanted to write this post today because I was deeply upset yesterday while watching news clips. Besides the war coverage what also disturbed me was having to listen to clips of reporters dehumanizing BIPOC people.
These reporters had somehow given the recent Ukrainian refugees a face and identity that they have lacked to give refugees from many other countries. They even went out of their way to vilify BIPOC refugees, not emphasizing why those BIPOC refugees were seeking asylum in the first place. What civilized/western countries or western backed countries were bombing their homes?
These reporters were downplaying and dehumanizing BIPOC refugees, and exclusively siding and pleading the case for Ukrainians fleeing their countries today, stating “These are not your typical refugees.” Why would they compare the merit of any desperate people? The reporter continued with“because they were Christian, and they were white.” Another reporter mentioned the victims’ “blue eyes and blond hair” while another spoke of them as “European and civilized.”
I found this all truly disgusting. What this all told me is that the corporate-owned media and the board of directors of those companies are just as racist as always. And since I have come to understand that fascism is a revolution from the top-down, I am reassured that these multi-national corporations still cling to their eugenic agenda as tightly as ever. If you have the time just go back and study what robber barons funded the eugenic ideas taught in schools that have helped turn the world into a pigmentocracy. Study the worldwide Eugenic Conventions and the infamous pseudo scientific ideas of eugenicists like Francis Galton, Charles Davenport, Madison Grant, Harry Laughlin, Eugon Fischer, Alfred Ploetz, Ernst Rudin, I recommend starting with the book “War Against the Weak” by Edwin Black, and “Imbeciles” by Adam Cohen.
Why Now?
I also had to stop and ask myself the questions, why am I seeing all this support for this one country, and I did not see the same when western countries were attacking and killing millions of Muslims the last thirty years? Why did I not see Iraqi flags and the colors of the Iraqi flag everywhere I went? Why didn’t major sporting organizations boycott teams from aggressor countries back then? I thought about it long and hard and I think I understand what their ultimate goals are.
“Why, of course, the people don’t want war, why would some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best that he can get out of it is to come backto his farm in one piece. Naturally, the common people don’t want war; neither in Russia nor in England nor in America, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a Parliament or a Communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country.” – Herman Goering
