  • These Wars Have to Stop

    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.

  • White Supremacy, Immigration, and Worthy Victims

    Another child has died in custody of U.S. Immigration. Her name was Anadith Danay Reyes Alvarez. Why are children being kept in cages, and in what conditions do they live, and how will this affect them in the future? Is this not the richest country in the history of the world? How did the country come to be? How did the country amass such great wealth, and at whose expense? I talk to people who talk about how they approve of immigration, but only if people do it the “Legal Way.” What was legal about Mexican Repatriation, or Operation Wetback? What was legal about the Chinese Exclusion Acts in 1884, or the one in 1924? What’s legal about all the broken treaties, with the indigenous people of Turtle Island? What is legal about Predatory Loans, and Economic HItmen, and about the whole last 531 years of Euro Colonial Violence across the globe?

    Worthy v Unworthy Victims

    Why is it that these people’s hearts tug when they see images of Berlin Wall victims, and feel a sympathy for the Pilgrims, but when they see BIPOC people, their hearts are filled with indifference? Why are some histories told over and over, and others not mentioned? Are BIPOC tears worth less to those that write the history books? Why can’t the lives lost in the Mediterranean, or in the U.S. Mexico border never reach the attention of say a Berlin Wall Victim? Why are some war victims instantly martyred and others simply forgotten?
