Enough Is Enough!

     Just as the United States supported the South African apartheid government when most of the world was supporting the victims of this apartheid, so, to a much greater degree, it continues to support the Israeli apartheid government, and provides billions of dollars every year to support the Israeli discrimination, imprisonment, maiming, killing, and land theft that goes on every day.

     Tomorrow, March 30, is Land Day, commemorating the bravery of 6 Palestinians who were murdered by Israeli forces in 1976 when they were trying to keep their land from being appropriated by the Israeli government. For the 36 years following, the apartheid government of Israel has been nothing less than a slow form of genocide against the Palestinian people.  Yet no country in the world has had their wrongdoing protected more than Israel, thanks to the threat of the United States to punish economically and militarily any country who would use means at their disposal to protect the Palestinian victims of these past 36 years.

     It is disgraceful that the United States Government continues to bully the United Nations and its "coalition" about "human rights abuses"in countries it does NOT control, such as Syria, North Korea, Iran, and Cuba, and to whine and moan about the "nuclear intentions" of Iran, when it blatantly partakes in the daily human rights abuses of the Israelis and for decades has protected Israel from any international nuclear weapons inspection, even though this renegade country has always ignored all admonitions from the United Nations, has launched assassinations in other countries, and threatens to invade the sovereign territory of whoever it perceives as a threat!

     The Palestinians have suffered in Gaza, the West Bank, and the Golan Heights for far too long. Let's hope that their massive peaceful protest tomorrow on Land Day will finally cause some "coalition" country to have the balls to say "no more!" to their participation in the Israeli and U.S. evils against the Palestinian people!

Vietnam II: A U.S. Anti-War Movement Should Demand That All U.S. Troops Leave Afghanistan

After the massacre of Afghan civilians by another alleged "lone gunman" this past week, I was appalled to hear the U.S. and British heads of state recommit to having troops continue the senseless killing, now in its 11th year, in Afghanistan. However, since I was not surprised by that, I am more disturbed that the U.S. Government, with the daily propaganda of its captive media outlets, has been able to mute any significant anti-Afghan protests. One would have thought that, with the economic destruction brought about by the policies of the Bush regime, that "Vietnam II" protests would be the norm, FORCING the media, by now, to make this issue front and center in their reporting.

I dare say that the latest war crime is only one of many committed by U.S. troops in both Iraq and Afghanistan during the past decade, the majority which have been covered up by the U.S. Government, and the military in particular. Bush and Cheney were responsible for making the torture and killing of Iraqis and Afghans for sport an acceptable "entertainment" in the eyes of many right-wing recruits, so such incidents as the latest should be no surprise. But let us hope that this terrible incident finally encourages more and more Americans to publicly condemn the Afghan war and to vocally demand that the billions of dollars wasted on this war be returned to pay for the needs of the millions of Americans presently suffering from lack of jobs, housing, and health care because of the reckless decisions of its leaders since 2001.

The US will continue to do what it damn well pleases....

Two major headlines today were no surprise to this writer: 1)Attorney General Eric Holder says it is okay for the US Government to kill one of its own citizens if they are plotting a "terrorist attack," and 2)Obama assured Israeli demogogue Netanyahu that "we've got your back" on whatever is done to Iran.

These two bellicose nations: the US and Israel are always ready & willing to spend trillions of US taxpayer dollars to get their way through military force and intimidating bribery and blackmail, never caring how many MILLIONS of people suffer from their crimes. Since the new millenium began, even the pretenses of obeying international law, or the US Constitution, have been, piece by piece, stripped away.

Pre-emptive wars, assassinations, "acts of valor" strikes in any country at any time are a REALITY in 2012 with these "unbreakable bond" countries, as Obama calls them.

How strange it is that the COUNTRIES much of the world would call the greatest "terrorists," are so brazen to disregard their own actions and their terrible consequences, while reserving the right for themselves to say what individuals and groups throughout the world are "terrorists," and to make it a CRIME to even communicate with those who are blacklisted by them.

Do Americans ever wonder how many FEWER alleged "terrorists" they would have to worry about, if their government focused on making friends instead of enemies; celebrating different systems of government, rather than forcing uniformity; seeing other nations as equals, rather than slaves to US & Israeli ambitions???

IT IS THE RIGHT-WING "TRIGGER HAPPY" NUCLEAR WEAPON OWNER ISRAEL THAT THE WORLD SHOULD BE FEARFUL OF, NOT IRAN

Five Iranian scientists have been murdered in the last two years by Israeli &/or American agents. Those nations have more nuclear bombs NOW than the rest of the world COMBINED, and yet they are both itching for a war with Iran because they MIGHT have a nuclear program underway. Duh? Wouldn't ANY nation that knows damn well that the U.S. and Israel may invade their air, sea, and land space WITHOUT WARNING want to protect itself against them??

The world should be far more worried about what the fanatical right-wing government in Israel right now, with the unconditional backing of the world's Super-Bully, the United States, rather than Iran, North Korea, or China. Their world propaganda apparatuses continue to cause the foolish to believe the "we're the 'good guys' myth." "Good guys" don't hold the world
captive to their whims and desires with the constant REAL threat of lethal force from EXISTING MASSIVE arsenals of weapons of mass destruction!

The Myth That "Americans Will Elect" A Democrat or a Republican

The American media is all buzzing about who will win the Republican primary in New Hampshire tomorrow. It is already clear who will
LOSE; not only from this primary, but from the general election
this November: "the 99%" that don't control the wealth & the power
in this faux-democratic country!

The REAL heroes in America these past few months have been those of
that 99% who have been brutalized by police, harassed by FBI &
Homeland Security informants, and virtually ignored by the top 1%'s
controlled American media, in their attempts to get the American
public to wake up to WHY we still promote "this endless war;" promote unrestricted Pentagon & "intelligence"(surveillance & assassination) spending; and bailout the richest corporation & individuals, while
cutting public SERVICES without remorse.

The WHY, of course, is that the "Animal Farm" is run by and for the benefit of the fattest animals at the trough!

About 60% of Americans will not even vote this November, not only
because they have NO choice in who the candidates will be, but because many of them have had more and more barriers erected for them to even be
able to vote for "one of two sides of the same coin (i.e. Republicans/Democrats)."

How shameful it is that the United States keeps trying to force "democracy" on countries around the world by bullet, bomb, theft and imprisonment, when with each "election" it moves farther and farther towards a police state!

Posted on Twitter: "Nonviolent Protest Ends In Death"

...So Gingrich thinks the Palestinians are just an "Invented People." Try telling that to the family of Mustafa Tamimi, who was shot and killed at close range by a tear gas canister fired by one of the soldiers of the invented State of Israel ... or to the members of thousands of families of other Palestinians shot, beaten, tortured, or killed by that "invented" State! Will the U.S. rever stop supporting oppressors rather than the oppressed???

Quick Comments

1- Doesn't all of the U.S. rhetoric about Iran sound very familiar to the rhetoric about Iraq before Bush invaded it, resulting in his responsibility for hundreds of thousands of deaths, or woundings, or home destructions, or imprisonments, or tortures!?

2- The world needs MORE alliances of countries that will NOT allow the U.S. military & "intelligence" to run roughshod through their countries, but will stand up to the world's bully & briber!

3- I like BRICS: an economic alliance between Brazil, Russia, India, China, & South Africa.

4- U.S.: Stop talking about "democracy" when you are interfering in everybody else's election & won't even honor the right of EVERY adult American to vote!
