The War On Terror? No Thanks!!
What exactly
is the ‘war on terror’ and how does it affect me?
That is a very
good question as well as a complex one. Presumably the ‘war on terror’ is an
attack on those who would like to destroy the American way. That sounds like a
noble cause until you define the American way.
To me the
American way are the ideals that this country expressed in the Bill of Rights.
Free speech, free press, freedom of religion, freedom of assembly, a
representative government where the people have the power. Let me assure you
that nobody overseas wants to destroy that kind of America.
But America
has a sinister and evil twin. So horridly different it is hard to imagine they
were birthed by the same womb. I am talking about the selfish capitalistic
America; the one that was founded on genocide and enriched itself on chattel
slavery. Like Satan who it serves this America is full of lies and hypocrisy.
And thus there
is a dueling conflict. The virtuous America attempts to exist and survive while
the cruel America attempts to enrich itself at the expense of everyone else. It
is the second America that these ‘terrorists’ are trying to destroy. Allow me
to say so should every righteous person in the world.
Outside of
911, which in the opinion of many was in fact self inflicted terrorism, what
has happened on American soil? Rather the overwhelming amount of killing has occurred
over seas; in particular the Middle East. It is a sad and familiar story. The
United States uses it’s vastly superior military to kill and destroy the armed
forces of another country. Then they go in and seize their resources. It
happened in Afghanistan and it happened in Iraq. Unfortunately other countries
are on the list.
The means of
conquest that the United States uses are barbaric and cruel. Drone strikes
which double dip. That is after the initial missile attack a second missile is
fired when rescuers attempt to help those wounded in the initial attack.
Cluster bombs that drop and kill innocent civilians are common. In fact in
Yemen the youth have acquired a great hatred for the United States as a result
of these attacks. The second selfish America mind you.
In sheer
hypocritical fashion the United States continues to do what it condemns. That
is the use of dangerous and illegal weapons is one glaring item. The United
States still uses deplete uranium and white phosphorus; all the while
condemning other nations for ‘alleged’ use of chemical weapons. Far from
leading by example the United States is acting as if they are above the rules.
Take for
example the alleged Syrian bombing of two hospitals. The United States called
this as a grievous sin; an unforgivable barbaric act. However when the United
States bombed a hospital of Doctors Without Borders they sang a different tune.
It was all an honest mistake. Subordinates were called out for not properly
following the rules of engagement. That is the problem with the United States
they can do no evil in their own wicked eyes.
But evil is what abounds in this
nation. The only reason God has not treated us like Sodom and Gomorrah is
because of the core of righteous people who live here. I am certainly not
talking about the so called ‘evangelical’ Christians. I am talking about brave
people who think with both their heart and their mind. Allow me to draw your
attention to Standing Rock, South Dakota.
There on lands rightfully belonging
to the Sioux Nation a host of people have gathered to stop the construction of
a pipeline. The pipeline would go under the Missouri River which supplies an
estimated seven million people with drinking water. Of course the whole idea of
building a pipeline in such a delicate area is utterly insane. But
unfortunately greed blinds people. The Bible is right when it says the “Love of
money is the root of all evil.”
These peaceful protesters have been
met with a host of violence. Armed soldiers in riot gear have attacked them.
Hundreds have been arrested. Others had dogs set on them or were sprayed with
pepper spray. I assure you the government would kill these people except that
the outrage at such an act wouldn’t be worth the slaughter.
So on one side
we have people concerned with the well being of future generations. People who
not only want to live the good life but want also want it preserved for future
generations. On the other side are short sighted business people who are only
concerned about themselves and their profits.
You see the
divide is so profound that it is really a battle of good versus evil. Why are
you destroying what give us life? Wealth is a fictional concept. Green pieces
of paper and digits on a computer have no intrinsic value. On the other hand
pure water is as they say ‘life’ itself. There is no monetary compensation
worth destroying the Missouri River. NONE!!!
These same
greedy people refuse to invest their resources into developing alternative
sources of energy such as solar and wind. Rather they are fixated on their oil.
To them oil is supreme. Henry Kissinger one of the evilest men who ever existed
said this, “Control the oil and you control the nations; control the food and
you control the people.” Sounds like a play right out of Satan’s handbook. Not
only does it explain why Monsanto is producing plants that don’t bear seeds but
it brings us back to the ‘war on terror’.
You see the
Middle East is rich in oil. Kissinger is correct in his assessment. That for
the time being the world is dependent on oil. The United States in its sadistic
quest to conquer to world is trying to grab all the oil for itself. It doesn’t
matter to them whom they kill along the way. After all a country that used two
nuclear weapons on civilian populations will pretty much commit any dastardly
deed.
So is it wrong
to fight against such a force? I’ll leave that up to you. Also remember
fighting does not necessitate violence. Let me leave you with this thought, ‘who
are the real terrorists?” Is it the people fighting to maintain their way of
life, whether they are in the Middle East or in South Dakota? Or is it those
trying to make themselves a lot of money off of the suffering of others. Before
you answer let me remind you that twenty two United States’ veterans kill
themselves every day, far more deaths then the alleged ‘terrorists’ are
responsible for.
