Breathing New Life Into Mass Death
$95 Billion "Supplemental" for More Weapons and War
Who knew mass death was such a growth industry? And by “death” I mean not only of humans but of any organism in a war zone.
We humans are a self-absorbed lot. We blast the earth and obliterate life without a thought to the ravages we commit against nature. Indeed, we pass and sign bills for $95 billion for more weapons and war and we dare call it “peace”!
Yes, President Biden thinks “peace” is advanced through weapons and war. It’s a sentiment that recalls Tacitus and his condemnation of the Roman Empire: “They create a desert and call it ‘peace.’”
Speaking of spending on wars and weapons, nobody does it better than the USA.
So, even though the USA spends triple what China does and eight times what Russia does, we’re the nation allegedly most committed to advancing peace. Call it a logic bomb, and we’re the best at producing them.
Finally, here’s a quick summary about what real high explosive bombs are doing in Gaza:
No worries: the president says it’s a “good day” for world peace. In Gaza, call it the peace of the grave, as so many innocent Palestinians are buried in mass graves or under rubble.
When The Blob speaks, it always reverses the meaning. So death and destruction becomes peace, censorship becomes freedom of speech, and authoritarianism becomes democracy. Likewise, peaceful protest against mass murder becomes terrorism. Orwell made this clear many decades ago.
Anyone doubting there is a deep state can not be paying any attention after this latest set of votes.
I also think it demonstrates the futility of looking for immediate third-party point solutions. The amount of money, corruption, intimidation, and likely blackmail will turn any elected official, no matter the label or sincerity of the individual, into a tool of said deep state.
Electing a Ralph Nader, Jill Stein, RFK, or whoever, will not bring about change when the institutions are totally corrupted. This will have to be a bottom-up, long-term change - if there is enough time left before they kill us all.
