God didn't call America to do what she's doing in the world now. God didn't call America to engage in a senseless, unjust war as the war in Vietnam. And we are criminals in that war. We've committed more war crimes almost than any nation in the world, and I'm going to continue to say it. And we won't stop it because of our pride and our arrogance as a nation.

-Martin Luther King Jr

or at least people who COULD be terrorists, when we launch our drone missiles at them. Just look at them down there, CONGREGATING - in a SCHOOL even, trying to hide their nefarious activities. They could be planning anything!

And so goes another round of discussion, debates, denials, rationalizations and war propaganda-all while the MIC does whatever the fuck it wants to do. Just when the NSA was feeling the most heat, interesting that.

US 'moral imperative' sounds hollow and suspect after being exposed to what really goes on behind the propaganda curtain--but we are being asked to trust them- this time it's different, this time the methods of using violence to suppress violence will work.

We are to believe our intel is accurate, when we haven't even BEGUN to clean up our own mess created by these very agencies that once again do not cast shadows and are incapable of looking in the mirror to police themselves. They only seem capable of pointing fingers at others, especially those with the most resources--and especially those far enough away from their own homes, far enough away that the the benefits of war outweigh the risks to their own hides.

The American public is never allowed films documenting the wars WE wage--in order to CONTROL public shock and awe for events that are then used for their purposes.

We cannot fall for this ruse again, not because of truth or lies, but because our consent does not even matter--because we are being treated like ignorant children incapable of governing ourselves. Let the adults with the bigger guns decide.

government and all its officials are the most heted and obscene basatrds on the planet. They indiscrimatley kill to hide guilt of war crimese. They hate anyone that doesn't support the sick agenda. The republicans are on the side of hate that so deep that even when they are caught all of them lie to cover the hate. Only a fool supports this government...
