More hypocrisy

Three items in the news today which illustrate the continued hypocrisy of the world's only two nations that are not forced to be accountable for any of their continued acts of aggression, the U.S. & Israel:

1- Israel threatens to cut off water & power to the Gaza strip if the Palestinian parties: Fatah & Hamas unite. Of course the U.S. will support them if they starve the 1.5 million Palestinians in the Israeli "prison camp" called the Gaza Strip.

2- In Pakistan, NATO (i.e. the U.S.), again killed "the wrong people," & Pakistan wants the U.S. military to leave the offending base in 15 days. Ha! Just like with the point below, money (or the threatened withdrawal of it) will solve anything for the killer "good guys."

3- Well over 4,000 "Occupy" protesters have been arrested & thousands more brutalized by the enforcers of the 1%'s laws, while trying to exercise their Constitutional rights. Many have had their property trashed and stolen by the cops. Yet there is no problem with the ruling class lying, cheating, & stealing to buy their elections, & then claim that "the public" elected them. They can speak, assemble, & occupy whatever they damn well please & call it democracy!

Two thoughts on current concerns...

1- With the non-stop month of holiday commercialism beginning this week with "Black Friday" (which capitalism has made "black" everyday in the lives of millions of Americans), I again watched Michael Moore's "Capitalism: A Love Story," which was released in 2010, long before the 'Occupy' movement started across the country. He says in the film what I have said for years... the rich elite ruling this country will keep robbing from the poor to give more to themselves until the poor stand up to them with action, like with OWS! Is the Federal Gov't using the FBI & "law enforcement" to intimidate & destroy the movement? You can be damn sure they are ... in fact a trademark of the FBI is to infiltrate all "left of center" groups, carry out some extreme actions (like vandalism, theft, & "unsanitary" acts), to turn the public against them, & then open the door to wholesale arrests, brutality, & even murder by any in "law enforcement."

2- These "new sanctions" on Iran over their alleged nuclear weapons program is the height of hypocrisy. What 2 countries already have more nuclear weapons than the whole world combined AND militaries that have no qualms about invading or bombing whoever they damn well please? The U.S. & Israel, of course!
