(649 posts)You do realize that the CIA, and other "clandestine" agency political manipulations emanate from America on a disturbingly regular bases,. and "our" spook outfits often back dictators and depose democratically elected leaders in favor of more corporate minded ones?
If we would simply not fight/cause wars, for corporations and banksters, and instead work at social uplift, the world would be a much better place.
reminds me;
The world is like a ride in an amusement park, and when you choose to go on it you think it's real because that's how powerful our minds are. The ride goes up and down, around and around, it has thrills and chills, and it's very brightly colored, and it's very loud, and it's fun for a while. Many people have been on the ride a long time, and they begin to wonder, "Hey, is this real, or is this just a ride?" And other people have remembered, and they come back to us and say, "Hey, don't worry; don't be afraid, ever, because this is just a ride." And we kill those people. "Shut him up! I've got a lot invested in this ride, shut him up! Look at my furrows of worry, look at my big bank account, and my family. This has to be real." It's just a ride. But we always kill the good guys who try and tell us that, you ever notice that? And let the demons run amok But it doesn't matter, because it's just a ride. And we can change it any time we want. It's only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings of money. Just a simple choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your doors, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love instead see all of us as one. Here's what we can do to change the world, right now, to a better ride. Take all that money we spend on weapons and defenses each year and instead spend it feeding and clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would pay for many times over, not one human being excluded, and we could explore space, together, both inner and outer, forever, in peace.

(8,127 posts)I was told that " Smiley faces, 'what I love about this' and some 'rofl' emoticons seem to sum up the argument from one side in this discussion." when speaking of folks who want some kind of action in Syria... yet here you are proving you guys do it too!
I appreciate it!
(See , I can copy past the same thing over and over too!! gosh Im smart!)

(20,453 posts)That is why you conflate fear and war mongering in the repeated posts to which a few of us responded by calling out this bullshit.

As a side note, it would save countless lives too.
